Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 733: The Weird Voice

After unloading the cement, everyone gathered around the track tractor.

At this time, many villagers had gathered around. After all, the huge noise of the track tractor could easily spread throughout the entire Kaoshan Village.

So basically all the people who had finished farming and were staying at home came over after hearing the noise.

Although everyone had seen the appearance of the track tractor when Wang An's family was pushing the foundation last time, motor vehicles have always been a rarity in this era, so it is not surprising that people would come to watch again.

"Dazhu, I see that you have prepared the bricks and brought back the cement. Should we start building the house soon?" A villager in his 40s asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dazhu handed over a cigarette and said with a smile on his face:

"Yes, Third Brother, the construction will start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I will need your help then."

The person who was talking to Wang Dazhu was called Sun Xiangyang. He was the third child in the family, so people in the village who were younger than him all called him the third brother.

Sun Xiangyang's younger brother, Sun Xianghui, laughed and said:

"It's okay to lend a hand, but you have to provide me with plenty of good food and wine, otherwise I won't come."

Wang Dazhu said proudly:

"Then there must be enough. Good wine and good meat are not enough, but there must also be good cigarettes."

I only heard Sun Xianghui laugh and say:
"What kind of cigarette is this? How come you can still smoke cigarettes? Hahahaha."

Unexpectedly, Wang Dazhu said proudly:
"Before laying bricks, we'll draw big production and grapes. On the day of putting up the beams, we'll have to go to Changbai Mountain. Hahaha, is that in place?"

This is how it is in the countryside. No matter who is building a house or digging a well, basically every household will send at least one person to help.

As long as it's not a life-and-death feud, basically one person will show up.

This kind of help is called helping in rural areas.

But you have to know that although it is called "helping", it is actually "exchanging jobs".

To put it simply, if you help me with work today, then when there is work to do at your house, I will also have to help you.

So this kind of helper does not receive any salary, which means they work for free. But it is not completely free, because they must be provided with three meals a day.

Remember, it’s just about “making sure you’re full”, not “keeping you well”.

The reason why we say that it is enough to just make sure the helpers are well fed is because in that era, if you can ensure that the helpers have enough to eat every meal, it is already a very, very awesome thing.

You have to know that in this era, many helpers only have two meals a day, lunch and dinner, or even just one meal at noon.

Although Sun Xianghui asked for both wine and meat, everyone knew that he was just joking.

As soon as Wang Dazhu finished speaking, a sarcastic but smiling voice said:

"The Wang family is really capable. They built a house without making any noise, and a brick and tile house at that. Where did they get the money? They couldn't be doing any kind of speculation, right? I'm afraid they'll be arrested by the big hat one day, hahahaha."

Although this person said this in a joking manner, it was not only unpleasant to the ear, but also had a murderous meaning.

You have to know that this is not the later times. At this time, no one may care if you fight, but you can't say the four words "stealing a chicken to the point of eight" casually.

In particular, the amount of money involved also has its standards. If it exceeds that limit, the result will be that you will go to see the Buddha. If you have to see the Buddha, you can see how serious this matter is.

As soon as this person finished speaking, the whole scene instantly became silent.

Everyone's eyes began to flicker, and even the looks they gave Wang An and his family were filled with meaning and doubt.

After all, there is a saying that goes, "There is no wind without waves, and there is no wind without a hole"!
As long as someone raises a question, a large group of brainless people will definitely follow the crowd and question it without any discrimination.

This is naked human nature!
Wang An looked at the man with an unfriendly face and was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Wang Dazhu.

Then I heard Liu Guilan say loudly:
"No way. Although we are not good at speculation, we can carry clubs from the mountains. The big golden gall, the big guy, and the big clubs are as thick as a child's arm. They are really rare. Boss, where do you put the big clubs? Go and pick up two of them and show them to everyone. Let's see where the money for building our house comes from."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dazhu immediately cooperated and said:

"There are only two large fourth-grade leaves left. They've been soaked in the wine jar. The fifth-grade leaf hasn't even dried up yet."

Liu Guilan pretended to be very angry and said:

"If it's not completely dry, it's still a stick. Take it out. Oh, and there's also a big golden gall that's not completely dry. Take it out too, so that Niu Lao Er can know what's going on, so that he doesn't have to fart all day long."

The Niu Laoer that Liu Guilan mentioned is the person who speaks in a sarcastic tone.

Niu Laoer is called Niu Yiji. He is the second child in the family. He is of the same generation as Wang Dazhu, but a little younger than Wang Dazhu. Therefore, people of the same generation who are older than him call him by his name or Niu Laoer.

But if it is a younger person like Wang An, they should call him Second Uncle or Second Uncle Niu.

Of course, this is just a name used by people from the same village.

Although Liu Guilan's words were directed at Niu Yijie, at this time, Niu Yijie did not dare to curse back.

On the one hand, Liu Guilan is the sister-in-law after all. Although there is no blood relationship between them, it is like this in the countryside. As long as you are from the same village, you can always be related in some way.

On the other hand, Wang An was obviously angry. If Wang Dazhu had not pulled him back, Niu Yiji would most likely have been beaten.

You have to know that Wang An's animal-like character and his hard-earned "reputation" are not nonsense at all.

To put it bluntly, if Wang An had not rarely caused trouble in the village and never bullied anyone, he would be a veritable "village bully".

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, Wang Dazhu agreed and turned to walk into the house.

At this time, Liu Guilan pretended to be indignant and said to the person next to her:

"These are just bear gallbladders and furs, but they have all been replaced with bricks and tiles. Otherwise, my eldest son wouldn't have to help others carry hammers. I tell you, I have been worried for more than a month, I was afraid that my eldest son would be lost in the mountains."

I don’t know if Liu Guilan was acting or expressing her true feelings, but when she finished speaking, tears were clearly welling up in her eyes.

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, Second Mother Yao Ping immediately said with a "miserable" look on her face:

"Look at my son's face. He is the one who got into trouble this time. He is lucky. "

I have to say, these two sisters-in-law work together very well!
