good old days

Chapter 60

The arrival of Captain Li's younger brother gave Lao Lin's family a sense of crisis, and the courtyard of Chen Xiuyun's house suddenly became very popular.

Before the fourth day was over, the old man of the Lin family came over and said that his family wanted the yard, but the money would be postponed for two days, so he wanted to borrow it.

Chen Xiuyun said: "Uncle, you have to hurry up, the spring plowing is about to start, and the team is getting busy soon. I will hire someone to work before I am busy. Move out early, and you can live in sooner."

Uncle Lin nodded, "I have to trouble the captain about the homestead, I'll do it tomorrow."

Uncle Lin left, and Chen Xiuyun also breathed a sigh of relief.

But remembering that all her family assets would be depleted after building a new house, Chen Xiuyun began to worry.

But it's worth spending some money to stay away from Lao Jiang's house.

Chen Xiuyun looked at the more than 200 pieces of soap hanging under the bed, wondering if they could be exchanged for money.

The application for homestead was very fast. After the team leader signed it, he sent it to the commune to sign and sign, and the land would be approved. It was a third of the land, [-] square meters, which was more than double the size of the yard where her family lived now.

Uncle Lin gave the money to Chen Xiuyun first when he had borrowed enough money, and the two went to Captain Li again to write down the problem of the homestead, signed and pressed their fingerprints, and wrote down the problems that should be broken down later. Clearly, without leaving any hidden dangers.

When it was finished, Chen Xiuyun said: "Uncle, it will take seven or eight days to build this house, and it will take a month to dry before we can live in it. During this time, we, mother and daughter, will still live here."

Uncle Lin nodded, "That's what you should do. You start a new house. I have a lot of family members. Just call me."

Uncle Lin felt that his home had taken advantage of it. Although the homestead was approved for three points, it would be useless if there was no money to build it. Besides, if it is too small, it can be expanded by the yard in the future. Anyway, the house is on the westernmost side, and there is a lot of space next to it.

Chen Xiuyun had more smiles on her face, and everyone in the village treated her family better than her in-laws.

When she got to the gate of the courtyard, Ma Meili came up to meet her.Zhang Fengmei stood in her own courtyard, chewing pumpkin seeds and listening.

"Sister-in-law, is the house really sold?"

Chen Xiuyun nodded, "I'll go to the brick factory in a while and start building a house tomorrow."

Ma Meili said, "You want to build a brick house?"

"How can it be? The brick factory has adobes that have been stripped and dried, so I just use this. Buy some more tiles to build the roof."

After chatting casually with Ma Meili, Chen Xiuyun put the signed paper back home, talked to the two sisters who were reading in the house, and was ready to go to town.

After Ma Meili returned to the house, she only said a few words before Old Madam Li looked down.

"I really don't know what she's drawing. The good yard is sold, and a new one is paid for. What's the fuss?"

This dissatisfaction was said by old man Jiang.

Old man Jiang wanted to use small favors to let his promising granddaughter remember his kindness, and he and Mrs. Li had the same ideas about adoption and the house.Mrs. Li was looking for bad luck for Jiang Xinyu's family, but he just watched and didn't show up to help. It was a dream to let Jiang Xinyu remember his love.

Jiang Youfu said: "Sister-in-law just doesn't want to live here. Who can stand the endless two days?"

This is a problem that he can understand, and Ma Meili can understand it too.She wanted to mock Mrs. Li but she dared to say in her heart that she dared not be like her man.

Mrs. Li was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent her anger. When she heard what her second son meant, she raised her voice, "What do you mean? I raised you for nothing, and I lost money to that broom star." say…"

Although Jiang Youfu couldn't fight back, he could ignore it and go out for a walk.

Chen Xiuyun chose a place to build a house, which was at the east end of the village, far away from Lao Jiang's house, more than 100 meters away from the row of houses at the entrance of the village, and did not pick a place where everyone in the team would pass by.

There are not many other things in the village, but there is a lot of land. Housing in the city is tight, and a family living in tens of square meters is full. But in the village, as long as you have money to repair the house, a house with a yard is more comfortable than a small house in the city. .

The team leader led people to draw the land, and Chen Xiuyun spent money to cover the fuel expenses and borrowed a tractor from the brigade to go to the town to buy beams, tiles, and some red bricks for the foundation. pulled back.

The tractors in the brigade are treasures, but if anyone in the brigade needs to use them for urgent matters, they can still use them after asking the brigade leader to pay for the gas.

For two days in a row, Chen Xiuyun was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu cooked the meal sensiblely.

The more this happened, the more I realized the importance of having a man in the family. For these physical tasks, if there were enough men in the family, there would be no need to hire someone from the brigade.

When it was time to build a house, Jiang Youfu came to help. Jiang Guisheng saw that he had gone, but he didn't want to go and was afraid that others would gossip behind his back, so he went too.

Chen Xiuyun hired four strong laborers from Uncle Lin's family.

As for Chen Yi, the temporary film projectionist, he has already started working, but recently he is relatively free, sitting in the "office" drinking tea and reading newspapers, and in a few days when it is almost fifteen, he will go to the town to show a movie. He is in a relatively leisurely state every day, because the things to learn are too simple for him.

At noon, he was still free to ride his bicycle back to the brigade, and he helped Chen Xiuyun bring meat and tofu twice, and even secretly sent back six pig panties.

He sometimes helped with the work, and the elders who worked said that Chen Yi would soon become the son-in-law of Chen Xiuyun's family, and praised him for his ability.

Every time the elders talked to the aunts and aunts, Chen Yi would just smile and acquiesce and would not refute. Now the whole brigade regards Chen Yi and Jiang Xinyu as unmarried couples.

As for Chen Xiuyun, who was busy cooking for the workers, as long as Chen Yi was around, she would definitely not forget to give Chen Yi a copy.

People who work must not only eat enough, but also eat well. Chen Xiuyun makes steamed buns mixed with white flour and cornmeal. The steamed buns are very large and very porcelain. There must be meat in every meal. There are many slices of meat in rice, fried pork with cabbage, roasted smoked fish, scrambled eggs with green onions, fried bacon and so on.Chen Yi secretly sent over some big black fish and a pheasant at night, and asked Chen Xiuyun to cook them too.

The fish and chicken were sent secretly, so Chen Xiuyun couldn't even refuse. With the fish delivery last time, Chen Xiuyun knew it was him without guessing.Chen Xiuyun felt that Chen Yi was a good guy, and now she couldn't spare the time to thank him, so she thought about going to thank him after the house was built.

The elders put in a lot of energy and eat a lot, so that people can be full and eat well. Chen Xiuyun is good at cooking. There is meat in every meal, and he is still full. He eats openly. Every worker feels It's very comfortable to eat.

The two sisters, who couldn't do heavy physical work, were reading books, and Chen Yi sent pig pancreas back every day. In seven or eight days, the two made more than 210 pig pancreas soaps.
