Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 155 Be Kind to People
At night, Su Qingfeng and Su Siwei sat cross-legged on the kang.

There was a small table on the kang, which was filled with various money bills, especially the bunch of big black tens, which seemed to exude some kind of magic in the dark night.

Bai Jing was sitting next to her, writing and drawing in a small book based on what the father and son said, and calculated the approximate cost of building a house this time.

It's not that I don't know, it's a shock.

The house has cost nearly 300 yuan so far. If you want to finish it, you will need to buy tiles and hire people to do the work. All of these require money and tickets. In total, it will cost about [-] yuan.

Su Qingfeng took out the reward for second-class merit. The money in it and the money Su Siwei took out were exactly half of it each.

But Su Siwei was unhappy.

He stuffed the big stack of dough balls back into Su Qingfeng's hands, "Okay, your father isn't dead yet. You still have money to build a house. I suffered hardships before because my family didn't have that much money. After all... … My money is all shady, even your uncle and second uncle can’t tell it.”

Recalling that time, Su Siwei was still a little emotional.

What does it mean that money is not easy to use?

He knew everything.

In the past, I got money by dumping things, but I didn't have much food stamps.

I'm waiting for food to come, but I don't dare to eat it.

Otherwise, there was no worker in Lao Su's family at that time, but his face was rosy after eating, so it wouldn't be obvious that there was something fishy, ​​and he was waiting for someone to report it.

I just use the excuse of going up the mountain to occasionally improve the food for my family.

Thinking of this, Su Siwei became even more proud.

I saw him sitting there alone. I don't know why, but he suddenly became silly and happy, "My son is still reliable. Without my son, we would still be eating bran throat vegetables."

Bai Jing glanced at him with a smile, obviously already used to Su Siwei's occasional jumping thoughts.

At this moment, Su Qingfeng relied on his keen five senses and heard an almost silent rustling outside the house.

He suddenly thought of the strange things everyone mentioned at the dinner table.

The firewood appeared, the extra pigweed...

Su Qingfeng made a gesture, suppressed her voice, and walked out quietly.

His steps were very light, as if there was a cat's soft cushion under his feet. Until he appeared in front of Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng didn't hear any particularly loud noise, which was not as loud as the wind blowing outside.

When he saw Su Qingfeng, he was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to run away.

Fortunately, Su Qingfeng had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed the boy and took him into the house, taking the jujubes he brought with him.

In this deep winter, I don’t know where he was in the mountain, and he found some dates.

After Jiang Feng was caught by Su Qingfeng, his head was drooping and his expression was a little languid.

When he walked into the house, a warm feeling suddenly hit him, making him shiver with comfort.

When Su Siwei saw Jiang Feng, although he was a little surprised, he was more understanding.

Su Qingfeng could see that Jiang Feng was a little restrained, and couldn't help but lower his head, trying to hide his exposed toes in his shoes. He always seemed to feel that this would be a bit embarrassing.

So Su Qingfeng touched his head and said, "You are doing good things, but we don't even have time to thank you. Why do you seem to have done something wrong?"

Seeing that Su Qingfeng's attitude was not strange, Jiang Feng relaxed a little, but still shook his head, "I'm not good at it, I'm afraid of dragging you down."

At present, this is almost an unsolvable problem.

Su Qingfeng thought for a while, then returned to his room and took out a stack of thick notebooks and pencils.

These are all items drawn by the system.

For him, it was better than nothing.

But he believes that these things, in the hands of the right people, will blossom into their due value.

He put the thick notebook in Jiang Feng's hand and said with a smile, "I heard from Professor Tang that you are very savvy in studies, and even Sun Gong was shocked by you. Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows, and his expression showed a hint of interest, "What kind of bet?"

"How about completing the high school course within one year? After completion, I will give you an extraordinary reward."

Learn.

For Jiang Feng, this field is where he excels, and it is also the only place where he can escape reality.

For him, learning is as easy as eating and drinking.

So when he talked about this, there was a hint of sharpness in his eyebrows, "Half a year is enough."

Su Qingfeng laughed, "I mean, complete all subjects at the high school level and pass Professor Tang's examination."

"All subjects... that is to say, there are also Chinese and foreign languages..."

The sharpness in Jiang Feng's eyebrows suddenly disappeared without a trace. He thought hard and gritted his teeth, "Okay!"

He didn't really want anything in particular.

For him, this is how it will be in his life.

He was just curious about what Su Qingfeng's reward was, and why he was so sure that he would like it.

Jiang Feng was still thinking about this when he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his hand.

Taking a closer look, he found that a stack of thick notebooks and pencils had been placed in Su Qingfeng's hand.

He was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Su Qingfeng blankly, feeling a little at a loss.

Su Qingfeng squatted down, looked at him levelly, and smiled, "How can I study without a draft book? As for the textbooks, I will go to the acquisition station to look for them when the time comes."

Jiang Feng looked at Su Qingfeng like this for a long time.

He wanted to say that someone like Su Qingfeng was a fool.

It's not good for him to help anyone, but to help a person with a bad background like himself, he is destined to have no future in his life.

But when his kindness fell on him, Jiang Feng felt as if an impulse welled up in his heart, forcing him to do something.

His eyes were fixed, and then under the disbelieving looks of Su Qingfeng and others, he actually knelt firmly on the ground and kowtowed to Su Qingfeng three times seriously.

He didn't say anything.

But he secretly vowed in his heart that if one day...even if he risked his life, he would climb up, be worthy of Su Qingfeng and Professor Tang, and repay their kindness.

Jiang Feng kowtowed three times, his forehead even red and swollen, then he picked up his things, said hello, and ran back.

But before leaving, Bai Jing stopped him and handed him a pair of slightly larger cloth shoes.

The cloth shoes were clean, although they were a bit too big for Jiang Feng and did not fit particularly well, but the most important thing was that they no longer had to show their toes in the winter.

When Jiang Feng saw this pair of cloth shoes, the emotions he had finally suppressed almost leaked out again. He was afraid that if he stayed here for a long time, he would be moved by the warmth here and his eyes would turn red again, so he thanked him and took a deep breath. After taking a breath, he took the cloth shoes and walked out.

When Jiang Feng walked away, Su Siwei was touching his chin, thoughtfully, "This boy, if the situation changes one day, it will be terrible."

Su Qingfeng certainly knew that the situation would change, and he even knew when the situation would change.

But he didn't say it.

He just smiled and said, "Just think of it as a good deed. In this world, being kind to others means being kind to yourself. You have to find more ways for yourself." Su Siwei understood the general idea and glanced at Su Qingfeng, " When did you secretly read a few books?"

Su Qingfeng made a "cut" sound and turned around proudly, "What do you know? I communicate with my pen pal every week, and I learned a lot."

Su Siwei squinted his eyes, then sat next to Bai Jing, a little aggrieved, "Daughter-in-law, you can also teach me."

Su Qingfeng sneered.

My mother didn’t teach me, could she still teach you?

Bai Jing saw that Su Siwei was middle-aged, and she still wanted to be like a young man. It almost hurt her eyes to put on such an expression, but in order not to let this guy bother her anymore, she had to agree.

Su Qingfeng: "!!!"

mother!
you've changed!
……

the other side.

Jiang Feng carried a pile of notebooks and pens back to the bullpen.

If he hadn't gone up the mountain frequently and developed a lot of strength, he would have been completely weak when he came back.

When Professor Tang saw so many notebooks with fine paper, he was first surprised and then doubtful.

"Xiao Feng, these notebooks..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Feng saw his doubts and said, "Brother Qingfeng gave it to me. By the way, they also gave me a pair of cloth shoes."

Professor Tang relaxed when he heard that it was Su Qingfeng's family.

If there was any family in Sujia Village that he had the highest favorable impression of, it would probably be Su Qingfeng's family.

But soon, he began to worry again, how should he repay the other party's gift...

……

Professor Tang had not yet thought about how to repay the gift, but Su Qingfeng came the next day.

His face was beaming and he was holding red paper in his hand.

Professor Tang was also happy when he saw it, "Are you preparing to go to Liang today and come to my place to write couplets?"

Hearing this, several people from the cowshed who were originally eating melons also joined in.

Building a house is a big deal.

At least they have been here for so many years, and this is the first time they have seen someone build a house. Unfortunately, due to their status, they cannot observe the customs and habits of the Northeast up close.

Su Qingfeng was very busy today. Now the frame of the house is almost ready. Bricks, fire walls, windows, etc. have all been installed. After the beams are installed, the second-story shed will be laid. Finally, Add tiles and that's almost it.

There are various customs when putting up beams, one of which is affixing couplets.

Although Professor Tang majored in science and engineering, he can be called professor because his cultural level is far superior to others.

Su Qingfeng was also convinced by this point.

I saw Professor Tang thinking for a while, and pulled out a sentence from the information in his mind. His pen moved like a dragon, and he wrote a few big characters with proud character - it is an auspicious day to go up to the beam, and it is a good day to stand up the pillar.

The couplet in the middle naturally has the words "Shang Liang Daji" written on it.

The couplet was very simple, but Su Qingfeng was quite satisfied.

Country people, why do you need so many flashy things?

If these words are simple enough that everyone can understand them, that will be fine.

He seemed to have thought of something, and took out a handful of candies from his pocket to spread the joy, and then blew them away like a gust of wind.

Su Qingfeng's new homestead is not far from the old house. The two neighbors on the left and right are the family of the village team leader, and the accountant's family on the right is the family of the village's accountant. The accountant has a good reputation besides doing some research.

This place was specially chosen by Su Siwei.

He didn't want his new home to be close to Deng Xiaoya's family. It would be unlucky for both parties to be neighbors.

On the day of the ceremony, people were crowding outside Su Qingfeng's house.

Almost the whole village came to see what happened to the house.

I saw a few strong men, first pulling up the main purlin from the ground to the roof, and then installing it.

Su Qingfeng and his group were responsible for doing some light work down there.

After all, this is the first time he has done such a thing.

He led his people and pasted the words "It's auspicious for the window to be installed" and "It's auspicious for the door to be installed" on the door and window frames, and finally Professor Tang's couplets were affixed.

When the couplet unfolded, the crowd was amazed again.

"Oh my god, even though I haven't read a book, this word can only be written by an educated person."

"When I look at the words written by educated youth, they are not as upright as they are!"

"Yes, it's no wonder that I work in the town and know a lot of people. If I just meet a friend, I will be a big intellectual."

Listening to the envious voices of the people around him, Su Qingfeng didn't know whether he should be blustering or something else.

This great man of culture is far away in the world, but right in front of us!

After the main purlin was installed, Su Qingfeng placed a pair of red chopsticks on each side of the center above the beam. A copper coin was embedded in the middle of each pair of red chopsticks. He threaded red wire through the copper coin holes and tied them around the beam.

In addition, there is a red thread strung with 7 copper coins. The lower end is decorated with colorful silk and hangs down from the center of the beam. The two sides are surrounded by red thread and tied to the copper coin hole in the middle of two pairs of red chopsticks above the beam.

Because "chopsticks" and "kuai" are homophonic, it is a metaphor for "making money quickly", that is, getting rich.

But for Su Qingfeng, this is just the old father's task.

For a person like him who has lived in two lives, sometimes even having a huge fortune is not worth the words that peace is a blessing.

The family can live a peaceful life, and at the same time have no worries about food and drink, and be rich and content. This is the life he wants.

Although...it sounds quite unambitious.

But this is what an ordinary person thinks.

Taking advantage of the gap between the beams, Su Qingfeng used the excuse of smoking to find a place to take a breath.

While he was lighting a cigarette, he suddenly heard a low conversation not far away.

"seriously?"

What is true or false?
Su Qingfeng silently pricked up her ears.

"Why did I lie to you? Didn't Feng Sufen have a falling out with her natal family before? But now, her natal brother relied on several other brothers-in-law to get a job in a food factory in a town with a high school diploma. .”

When the woman next to her heard this, her first reaction was to laugh:

"As for Feng Guihua's younger brother, he doesn't even know whether he can graduate from high school or get admitted to a job in the town? Who are you kidding? It sounds like he's just relying on connections."

Although it was a casual relationship, Su Qingfeng could tell that both women were envious.

If possible, who wouldn't want to have a relationship?
　I feel like I will have to update regularly in the evening in the future. I may have some random update times these two days, so I’ll see if I can advance them earlier. However, I will still guarantee updates every day. Please rest assured.
