Rebirth 1983

Chapter 11
When Chen Song returned to his one-acre and three-point land, Chen Aiguo and several uncles who worked had already arrived.

Under Chen Aiguo's assignment, everyone was busy cutting planks, building walls with red bricks, and replacing roof beams.

After all, Chen Song gave a lot of money, and his father, Chen Aiguo, was in the decoration industry, and the uncles he found were all honest people, who would not be lazy and slippery.

"Several uncles, it's so early." Chen Song took out the Qingliangtai cigarettes from last night, each entered a cigarette, and asked about the progress.

The uncles patted their chests and said that they could change to a rough shape tonight, and if Chen Song was willing, they would probably be able to move in tonight.

Chen Song nodded slightly, boasting in satisfaction that his uncles did a good job.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's all come back to work." Chen Aiguo has been busy all the time, and is very dissatisfied with the suspension of work caused by his son's arrival.

"Patriotic, your son didn't say anything, what are you in a hurry for?"

"That's right, we are building a house for our nephew, not for you, Chen Aiguo."

Several uncles were smoking, laughing and cursing at Chen Aiguo.

Chen Aiguo came over, glared at his third son, ignored the words of Chen Song and his uncles, and asked Chen Song, "Where did you sleep last night? I was worried at night. I came here to look for you, but I couldn't find you."

Looking at his father Chen Aiguo's concerned eyes, Chen Song felt warm in his heart.

Although the family division is uneven and he has been wronged, the father in front of him still loves and cares about him, which makes Chen Song feel a lot better.

"Dad, I went to sleep in the ancestral hall." Chen Song lied a little, but he couldn't tell the truth. He told his father that he had slept at Widow Wang's house last night.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it's really all right, and something's going on.

"That's good, okay, don't waste time, try to finish it today, and it will save you some wages."

Chen Aiguo greeted everyone, and everyone nodded their heads to work again in full swing.

The pig shed was expanded and extended along the old collapsed old house of Chen Song’s grandparents to build a large yard. The original beam roof structure was reinforced. Several uncles were master craftsmen, so they rebuilt it soon. The combination of red brick walls and wooden boards soon gave the appearance of a big house.

"Sanwazi, what about the windows? Do you want to make them now?" Chen Aiguo watched the house take shape and nodded silently, but he couldn't find the windows, so he came to ask Chen Song.

Chen Song was taken aback, and quickly dragged out a bunch of wooden windows not far away.

"This is? The wooden windows from the old house?" Chen Aiguo saw the origin of these wooden windows at a glance: "You have a good eye, these wooden windows were also made by famous masters back then."

"Yeah, I'm lucky. These windows can be used just now, and they basically don't need to be repaired. They can be installed directly." Chen Song picked up a wooden window and compared it to the new wall window.

Chen Aiguo is a veteran in decoration. He fixed the window with his bare hands. He installed the window in three or two strokes. He didn't use nails, but used several riveting structures.

Chen Song is still convinced that his father has such a skill in eating, otherwise Chen Aiguo would not be able to raise the three children with the ability to plan food in the soil.

The roof was first bound with wooden strips. Chen Song climbed up to the roof and helped the uncle. Watching the uncle's skillful alignment and nailing, he nailed the long wooden strips evenly to the top in an instant.

Half an hour later, the entire roof was nailed with battens.

"Come on, help me and bring the green tile up."

The blue tiles of the original pig shed were still intact, and with the addition of some brought by Chen Aiguo, it was just enough to cover the roof of the new house.

The blue tiles of this era are still ordinary curved tiles. There is nothing fancy about them, but they are ordinary. With windows carved with dragons and phoenixes, the whole house has the beauty of a house in an ancient town in a water town.

The basic shape of the house has taken shape, Chen Song suddenly remembered that everyone's meal at noon was not ready yet, and immediately said something bad.

Back in this era, he was inexperienced. In the past, he had to be responsible for these things by himself, so he forgot to provide food for the workers.

Chen Aiguo seemed to understand Chen Song's worry. After finishing his work, he walked over, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, "Why, only now did you think about making lunch?"

Chen Aiguo laughed, as if he knew that his third son hadn't thought of this.

"Dad, you noticed it. Didn't you come in a hurry this morning? I also forgot to prepare. I'm afraid it's too late to do it now. Look at the sun, it's probably already noon."

Chen Song was a little embarrassed. After all, everyone was working for themselves. According to the rules of the village, the boss had to prepare meals and afternoon snacks for the workers.

"I've known for a long time that you're unreliable, so I told your mother to cook and bring them here." Chen Aiguo patted his son on the shoulder, revealing the wisdom only a father has.

It seems to be saying: boy, so what if you have money to build a house, why don't you rely on your father for help.

If Chen Chensong knew what his father was thinking, he would definitely laugh secretly.

While chatting, Huang Qin's voice came over.

"time to eat!"

Chen Song turned around and saw that his mother, Huang Qin, was walking cautiously with a big basket in each hand.Before Chen Song had time to think, he ran up to take the two baskets in Huang Qin's hands, and put them in an open space.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work. You still have to cook for everyone."

"Let's say it first, since we have separated, this meal is not free, just give me a piece." Huang Qin said lightly, and stretched out his hand towards Chen Song in advance.

Chen Song's face was a little ugly, after thinking for a while, he finally took out a one-dollar note and stuffed it to Scutellaria.

"What's the matter, what are you two doing?" Chen Aiguo came over, Huang Qin had already taken back the money, Chen Aiguo naturally didn't see it, Chen Song shook his head.

The uncles surrounded him.

"What good dishes do you see?"

"I'm so tired, it's finally time for dinner."

Chen Song smiled at his uncles and helped bring out the meals.

"Several uncles, eat quickly. The food will be bad when it's cold. It's a pity that there is no wine. Otherwise, I can still offer you a toast. Otherwise, I will replace the wine with water. First of all, thank you for helping me build a house." Chen Song raised the water glass.

"Songwazi is too polite, come on, let's have a drink."

"Eat vegetables and eat vegetables."

After a whole morning of hunger, everyone ate food quickly. Chen Song and Chen Aiguo helped clean up, and Huang Qin went back with the bowls and chopsticks.

Chen Song didn't tell Chen Aiguo about the fact that his mother asked him for food money. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, his mother was right. After all, the family was separated, and the meal was sold to him by the fourth brother, but the fourth brother himself didn't know it.

The work in the afternoon was very simple. I got some plant ash and cement and painted the wall.

Chen Song went to find a pile of pebbles by himself at the small river in the back mountain of Chenjia'ao, paved a road in the yard, and asked Chen Aiguo to cut some bamboos, and made a fence around it.

This house is really good.

Although there is no furniture in the house, it is still empty, but from the outside, it is considered a good new house in the whole Chenjiaao.

"Before it was built, who would have thought that this house would be transformed from a pig shed?"

Several uncles stood in front of the house, and were also surprised by the results of the house they participated in building.

The original pig shed was just two dilapidated sheds made of planks and tree trunks. Now the house has become a four-story house with a kitchen, a bedroom, and a large yard. In this era, it is much better than many houses in the village.

And this only cost more than 100 yuan from Chen Song!
"I have a home."

Chen Song stood in the yard, looked at the house, nodded secretly, extremely satisfied.
