Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 79 Built a new house and owed debts

Fishing and catching shrimps, getting up early and getting late, exposed to the wind and rain and the sun.

Chen Yang is not afraid of hard work. He has a clear goal and can bear the burden of hard work.

One word, money, two words, money, three words, earn money.

In the afternoon, in the first half of the night, in the second half of the night, and in the morning, I went down four times and gained a lot.

Apart from keeping a part to entertain the chef, Chen Yang asked his grandfather to sell most of the fish and shrimp on the street.

Today, master carpenter Liu Zhongping came.

Liu Zhongping brought two apprentices, one of which was Chen Yang's second brother, Chen Bing.

The second brother is fat, strong, and mature.

Liu Zhongping was his grandfather's proud disciple, with his grandfather and second younger brother by his side, Chen Yang didn't have to worry about carpentry at all.

From August to October, Chen Yang's new house was erected on the ground.

October NO.20, the nineteenth day of the ninth lunar month, is a good day.

The roof of the new house is completed, the house is moved to a new house, the second is happy to cooperate and the first is happy.

Chen Yang held a grand banquet and prepared twelve tables of food and wine.

The carpenter and the mason were at one table, and the other eleven tables were all invited from the village.

During the construction of the house, twenty or thirty families came to help.Together with his grandfather, Chen Yang took the initiative to come to the door and invite them one by one.Adults and children, one does not fall.

Grandpa once proposed to invite Qi Taigong.

But Chen Yang resolutely refused. Chen Yang just didn't give face to that old and stubborn seventh prince.

The new house was built, and the banquet was held lively. Chen Yang and his family had earned enough face.

But the face was earned, and the money in his pocket was gone.

Not only did he have no money, Chen Yang was also in debt.

When buying cement and steel bars, Chen Yang expected that the money would not be enough, so he put down his face and owed 100 yuan with Yang Chunsheng as a guarantee.

When I went to the brick kiln to buy yellow bricks, my grandfather and the person in charge of the brick kiln were friends and owed 50 yuan.

Liu Zhongping, a master carpenter, and Du Dagui, a plasterer, also owed 30 yuan and 40 yuan respectively.

The total debt is 220 yuan.

This does not include the two domestic pigs, ten chickens and ten ducks, as well as the fish and shrimps that Chen Yang caught.

In fact, Chen Yang's original budget was not wrong.

The extra 220 yuan was spent on the banquet.

The banquet was held five times before and after, and there were nearly forty tables in total, including a lot of tobacco and alcohol. The 220 yuan is not too much.

Originally, Chen Yang wanted to buy some wood so that his grandfather could build some furniture.

This plan had to be postponed.

The most urgent task now is to earn money to pay off debts.

Chen Yang stayed on the boat and only went home once a day, devoting himself to fishing.

At this time, the annual conscription began.

Chen Yang has reached the age of eighteen and was originally in the ranks of conscription.

But in the first round of political trial, Chen Yang was dismissed.

Chen Yang's name was immediately removed before it even left the village.

This is expected, Chen Yang is not sad.

After ten days of hard work on the boat, the income from selling fish was only more than 40 yuan.

With the arrival of autumn, there are fewer fish and more difficult to catch.

That night, Chen Yang had dinner at home.

Just like before, a bowl of rice porridge, two steamed buns, and a little pickle.

Chen Yang still had that habit, he didn't like to sit at the table to eat, but squatted on the ground alone.

In the past, I squatted on the threshold of the main room.

Now there is a front yard, and there is a rice scoop in the yard, and Chen Yang squats on the rice scoop to eat.

Grandpa seldom left the table to eat, but tonight he also came to Chen Yang with his rice bowl and sat down on the small stool.

Chen Yang knew that Grandpa had something to say.

Chen Yang broke off half of the cornbread and put it directly in Grandpa's bowl, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"

"Yang, the debt we owe cannot be delayed for the New Year."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't delay the Chinese New Year."

Grandpa sighed softly, "No, there is a new situation now."
