Harmonious home

Chapter 28 The strange incident of building a house

In the winter of 2001, the sun shone warmly on the earth, and leisurely people washed their heads and took small stools to bask in the sun. The warm sunshine made people feel very comfortable. After hard work, Liuzi and I finally saved up tens of thousands of yuan. I want to go back to my hometown and build a house.Thinking of Dabao and Xiaoyue running to their uncle and aunt's house on rainy days, saying that they would fall when walking in the house on rainy days, and would ask their grandma from time to time, saying: "Grandma, everyone around us has buildings, why do our families have to live there?" When will Mom and Dad be able to build a new building with us when we have a broken house?" Thinking of this, I felt very sad and wanted to make up for the lack of my children and give them a complete home as soon as possible.

After discussing with my sixth son, he would earn money outside, and I went home to move the materials needed for building the house.After reaching a consensus, I returned home quickly and began to prepare for the purchase of materials such as bricks, sand, stones, and cement for building a house. At that time, our hometown had not yet built rural roads, so we had to rely on manpower to transport them by unicycle and small carts. Every day, eight or nine workers take turns carrying bricks, sand, and stones. In addition to the normal three meals a day, they also have a meal in the morning and a meal of pickled vegetables and rice porridge in the afternoon. It’s just that there is a need for pulling slopes, otherwise the manpower can’t be moved by a single-wheeled cart. In short, it is very busy all day long, after pulling bricks and cement, cement pulling river sand, river salad steel bars and so on.Money is used as fast as water. In order to save money as much as possible, I took a shovel and a hammer to the mountains to dig soil and sand.It took more than 20 years of beating with hammer after hammer to finish the yellow sand used for the canal bricks. After preparing all the things needed for building the house, it was already February 2002. In order not to delay the time, the construction started in early February. build a house.I was full of joy, and felt that the construction of the house had finally started after many days of preparation, but unexpected things happened one after another...

At noon this day, I was busy cooking and steaming rice as usual, while I was busy cutting vegetables and frying meat, but no matter how I turned on the fire, the pot was still bubbling "bang bang", but it couldn't be steamed. It was 12 o'clock at noon, and the workers had to go off work to eat, but my rice was not cooked enough, let alone fried vegetables and fried meat. I was so anxious that I was sweating, and I didn't know what to do?Suddenly, I remembered that when I was studying at Wugu’s house when I was a child, I saw that Wugu had encountered a similar situation, so I took a kitchen knife and made a cross on the pot cover, and then put the kitchen knife on the pot cover and the rice was ready for a while. SAIC steamed.Thinking of this, I hurriedly learned how to cook according to the gourd painting. Sure enough, the rice was steamed in a while. While cooking and frying meat, one person is extremely busy.

At this time, my son Dabao came back from school. He was very sensible and knew that I was too busy to cook and cook. He helped me light the fire as soon as I got home from school every day, so that I didn’t have to jump up and down and run back and forth.But this day, as soon as I stepped into the room, I called out: "Mom" and started coughing, blushing and thick neck, but he was still helping me to light the fire, I asked him: "Why are you coughing so badly, is it a cold? He said: "I didn't catch a cold. I was fine on the way back just now. I don't know why I came back and started coughing." The chili flavor coughs up for a while.But things were not as simple as I imagined. He kept coughing non-stop, his little face flushed from coughing, but he was really overwhelmed. After setting out the meals, he kept telling the workers to wash their faces and eat.Thinking of today's strange incident, my cousin and I talked about the topic of undercooked rice at the dinner table. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, my cousin nervously turned around and greeted the workers present: "Hey, everyone heard that the host's house is noon today. The rice is almost not steamed, everyone pay more attention to safety!If something goes wrong, no one can afford it. Everyone laughed and said while eating: "Brother, when did you learn to be so superstitious?"How can there be so much poverty.Regardless of good luck or good fortune, the main body is almost complete. "Speaking, everyone buried their heads in eating.

After the workers all finished eating and went to find a place to rest, I found that Dabao was still coughing, so I put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hands and asked, "Dabao, why are you still coughing? Have you eaten?" Dabao shook his head while coughing. He shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten! Mom, it's time for me to go to school." Then he walked out.I quickly chased him out: "Hey, you haven't eaten yet. Why don't you take the money to buy something?" He turned around and came over. I gave him 10 bucks and told him, "Go to Wei Xiao's shop on the street and buy some cough suppressants." Take the medicine. If you don’t have enough money, let him keep accounts first, and my mother will go to the street to give it to him another day." He nodded, and I slipped him a few biscuits, and he turned around and went to school.

I don’t know why, but I looked at the back of Dabao going to school, and my heart suddenly jumped wildly. I thought about my cousin saying at noon that the most important thing to pay attention to when building a house is safety. I suddenly thought of the wooden logs they threw down while working at heights. Great wire hoops, I couldn't help but think in my mind. While they were on lunch break, I went to pick up the dismantled wire hoops. Even if they accidentally fell off, they wouldn't be stuck on the wire. After thinking about it, I realized Something was wrong with my own thinking, so I couldn't help but retort in my mind: "Bah, bah, bah! Crow's mouth, what are you thinking about? What's the point if someone falls from above? I'm afraid you won't be able to stand up in this life. Why are we building a house?" Thinking of this, I felt even more conflicted and uneasy. I didn't even have time to wash the dishes, so I ran to the new house to pick up the iron wire rings tied with wooden rods, and then I calmed down a little.

Seeing all the workers get up and go to work, I also turned back to wash the dishes.After a while, Dabao ran back with "cough..." and I asked, "Why, you don't go to school?" "Then you didn't go to buy medicine?" He shook his head and returned the 10 yuan to me.I saw that he was coughing all the time, so I took him to my husband’s cousin to get the medicine. I just got home and poured boiling water for him to take the medicine. He just put the medicine in his mouth, and before he had time to drink the water, “wow” I vomited the medicine all over the floor, and I yelled at him angrily: "Just now I told you to get an injection and you were afraid of the pain, but now you are afraid of suffering when you take the medicine. Why don't you take the medicine if you cough so badly? Didn't you see your mother?" Is it too busy to be alone? Add to the chaos!" Dabao sobbed aggrievedly, and I then yelled at him: "I'm not sensible at all, Mom worked so hard for you..." Before I could finish venting, Xin From the other side of the house, the niece and daughter-in-law (Oita) shouted: "Auntie... hurry up and get some tape." I replied, what did she use it for?She said: "Master Zeng and Master Wang fell from above..." I was so frightened that I was at a loss, thinking, my God, I am not afraid of anything!Our family can't stand the toss, if something goes wrong, how can I live!But Oita kept yelling over there, I quickly adjusted my emotions, ran over with the adhesive tape, and asked anxiously: "Where did I fall? Is it serious?" At this time I My nephew poked his head out from the top of the building and said to me, "It's all right! Auntie, please open your eyes. The two of them only have a little bit of skin hanging on their middle thumbs. It's nothing serious." "That's right! The Bodhisattva has eyes , you accumulated evil virtues in your previous life, the two of them happened to be on the roof of the building, the consequences would be unimaginable if they fell directly, but the springboard for the two of them happened to break on the kitchen of your sister-in-law's house, look, the chimney was knocked down, and the tiles were smashed After reading it again, it won’t be so easy if it falls on other places, and any one’s waist or handle will be broken...” I looked in horror at the distance between the roof and the ground, and the scattered tiles scattered all over the place. I couldn't help sighing: "Oh! I'm so thankful. If it weren't for God's eyes, my house wouldn't be able to be repaired." Everyone nodded and said, "It seems that it is better to be a good person, and God will take care of us when we are in trouble." "That's right, God has eyes. No wonder you said that the lunch is not cooked enough. It seems to be a reminder to us." Another worker continued. "Fortunately, there was no danger, it was just a skin trauma." My cousin continued.Next to him said: "Exactly! I think the day of repairing the house is not optimistic. Fortunately, the owner has accumulated virtue, and the contractor is not bad luck, so there is no danger..."

I nodded, and quickly asked the two masters if they were injured elsewhere?They smiled and shook their heads, and said, "No! Only the middle finger is bleeding, and everything else is fine." My heart fell to the ground.But the crisis did not end there.
