Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 208 Commencement of Construction

three days later

"Today is the first day for my Mengxiong's house to be built. The biggest wish of our rural people is to grow up, marry a wife and have our own land and a house! Now I'm missing this house, Mengxiong. So I invite everyone to come here today, one is to give this place a popularity, and two, the ground is broken on the first day, and there is nothing good at home, but I promise to let the villagers eat and drink enough!"

"The auspicious time has come, it's time for Xiongda to start!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

Rural people will build a small shed in their own plot before building a house, as for what is put in it.To tell the truth, she was reincarnated as a girl in her past and present lives, and only the men in the family can touch this thing, even close to it!

After the memorial ceremony last night, Mengxiong took a shovel and shoveled a shovel of soil to show the meaning of breaking the ground. Of course, the first shovel of soil was placed on the red cloth spread aside. Meng Guohua, as Mengxiong’s father, is also an elder Well, the thing of wrapping the soil in red cloth was naturally done by him!

"Father, thank you for coming today. No matter what happened to us father and son, today is the first day your son and I build a new house. Your attendance is the greatest affirmation to me!"

"We are father and son."

Seeing that everything was almost done, the village chief hurriedly sang: "The groundbreaking begins!"

With an order, the construction teams hired by Mengjia to the town were busy working along the drawn line!

Originally, everyone in the village was still thinking about such a big event as Mengjia building a house. There must be people of all ages who do things, but it turned out!None of the people watching these constructions now have faces they know.

"Why do you think this Mengjia invites all foreigners? There is no one in our village, and I don't know what he thinks."

"Hmph, if I was insulted, satirized and provoked from time to time, I wouldn't even think about giving the villagers a chance!"

"Looking at the posture of Mengxiong's line drawing, this house can't be completed in two or three months! The wages of [-] Wen a day also include two meals. Where can I find such a good thing~!"

"Who says it's not? If I knew that Mengjia would be so prosperous, I wouldn't follow the trend and come to Mengjia to make trouble. I guess I'm one of them now!"

"Okay, it's useless to say more. Didn't Mengxiong invite us all here? Since he said that we can eat and drink enough today, let's give him face by eating and drinking well." !"

Mengyuan was cruel this time, not to mention that the men were not hired, and she didn't think about asking the women in the village to help so many workers.Because she had thought of this level a long time ago, she asked her father to bring her grandfather's family over. First, she wanted the uncles to help with odd jobs. The wages were the same as the construction team's twenty cents a day. Helping Granny Hua to cook for the workers, the same as my uncle's wages, is [-] Wen.

Her house is very big, and it is estimated that the construction period will take about three months. Now it is mid-July, and three months later, it will be around mid-October. It happens to be Li's expected delivery date at that time. In the future, you can live in it like this!
"Meng Ya, look, how neat their movements are? The wages are a bit higher, but it also saves a lot of worry!"

"Of course, these are all well-known construction teams in the town. Otherwise, Uncle Li wouldn't have taken you to find someone else! Alright, let's leave this to Gong Lin, and let's go back and talk to my mother!"

"Alright, then let's go back and spend time with your mother for a while, and I'll come over after lunch!"

"Father, call Grandpa, our family does not lack Grandpa's pair of chopsticks!"

In addition to the grand and spacious house of the landlord's house, the biggest house Meng Guohua has ever seen is the house of the village chief!
He, Meng Guohua, has been a farmer all his life and is unable to build a decent big house. In the end, his eldest son is promising. Look at the lines drawn on this house, and the courtyard with three entrances, it is so spacious. what!
"My father-in-law, hello, this Xiongda said that he was going to build a house and went to Qingshui Village to pick us up in person. I can see you here today, thank you very much!"

"My father-in-law, what you said is out of the question. Mengxiong is my son. Even if I broke up with him, the blood of my Meng family will always flow on him. How big is it to build a house in the village? How could I not come?"

"Father, father-in-law, I'm done with my work, I'll just leave it to Foreman Lin. The weather is so hot, so let's go back to escape the summer heat?!"

"Father-in-law, let's go together. We haven't seen each other for many years, but we are here today. Let's catch up with each other?"

Meng Guohua nodded. If his son called him, he might not agree, but he would give some face to his father-in-law here!
In the kitchen, Granny Hua was chopping pork with a knife in her hands. Even the green vegetables were too few to pick, and they didn't have time to pick them up after they were washed. They just put them on the chopping board and chopped them up!

"Grandma Hua, I didn't see it. Your knife skills for cutting vegetables are pretty good. Someday you will teach me and my younger siblings too!"

"Uncle, Madam, please don't laugh at me, my wife. I have lived most of my life, but my knife skills for cutting vegetables are a bit decent, and there is really nothing else I can do!"

"By the way, Granny Hua, how did you come to my uncle's house? Also, is Uncle Cheng your wife?"

When Cheng Qiang was mentioned, Hua Yu's old face couldn't help but blush, why does everyone ask this question?

"Uncle, Madam, I really have nothing to do with Lao Cheng. We both came from the same place before, so we were brought here. We really have nothing to do. Uncle and Madam, you can't talk nonsense!"

"Look, it scares you. You haven't married Uncle Cheng, so it's normal for you two to be together, isn't it? I believe that the eldest sister and uncle are also happy to see you live well, right?"

Isn't what we poor people want is to have someone who knows the cold and the hot by our side to ask the cold and warm, Granny Hua, listen to Chunhua'er, if you can, you can tell Uncle Cheng, and I will talk to Uncle ! "

"Sister-in-law, Granny Hua is unwilling. Didn't you see that you frightened Granny Hua? Granny Hua, don't worry about it. My sister-in-law is like this. She also hopes that you can have a companion to accompany you when you get old." Good! After all, it’s impossible to be a servant for a lifetime, right?”

"Old slave, I thank the two wives for their kindness, but the mother-in-law is used to being alone. Well, let's not talk about these things, let's cook quickly, the weather is hot, mother-in-law, I will make mung bean soup for you first." Workers send it!"

When Mengyuan came home, she found that the kitchen was really busy, even she was kicked out even if she wanted to go in to help!What else can I say, where children can do these rough jobs.

The conscience of heaven and earth, before there were not so many people in the family, cooking was the easiest and cheapest job!Well, since she was not allowed to intervene, she didn't bother to suffer that!

"Uncle Cheng, make a pot of tea, I'll chat with the two old ladies for a while!"

"Okay, sir, here we come!"

There are pregnant women at home, so they usually keep hot water on hand, which is very useful now!
Not long after, Cheng Qiang brewed a pot of chrysanthemum tea that Mengyuan had picked up from the mountain before and dried it. This chrysanthemum clears away heat and detoxifies, and it is the best tea to drink in summer!
As soon as Meng Guohua entered his son's house, he looked at Cheng Qiang who was busy making tea, Lingyu who had been helping Mrs. Li walk, and Mrs. Hua who was busy cooking in the kitchen.Feeling in my heart, this eldest son's battle is getting bigger and bigger.

I heard that the matter of raising fish in the field a few days ago alarmed the magistrate, but he didn't go out to see it that day because he was not feeling well.The eldest son's family is buying land and building a house. Isn't it more promising in the future?

Thinking about the current family, none of them are worry-free. Mengda is busy with fruit wine, while the daughter-in-law ran back to her mother's house, leaving a pair of children unattended, and her mother-in-law is a mess. I don't know, he didn't dare to let him out after so many troubles!
"Xiongda, your days are getting better and better. From now on, you need to help your brother more! After all, you both have the same blood on your body. You are better off, and you should help your brother. !"

"Hehe, my father-in-law is right. This family naturally needs to help, but as far as I know, old man, my son-in-law has already severed ties with you. The elder brother is better than helping the younger brother. It's already a relationship, and you're treating my daughter like this again, it doesn't matter whether you help me or not, doesn't it?"

"Old man Li, I don't like to hear your words anymore. What I'm talking about now is about my Meng family, and it has nothing to do with your Li family! Besides, Mengxiong, as the boss, is helping his younger brother What's wrong?"

"Old man Meng, are you still ashamed to say it? My daughter just added a granddaughter to your old Meng family. How do you two behave? She just finished her confinement and you kicked them out and lived alone. , said it was a separation, but they didn’t even get any land, let alone food and money!”

"I...wasn't the food production reduced at that time? Why wouldn't the two of them have hands and feet to find work by themselves?"

"Grandpa, don't talk about it. Some things get messier the more you talk about them. Anyway, our family is no longer a place where we have to eat and drink! And we have nothing to do with the old house anymore. Don't you make people laugh when you say that!"

The grandparent and grandson were arguing somewhere, and Mengxiong didn't know what to say in the middle.He originally intended to invite the two old people to come back for a chat, but he had thought that there would be trouble!Forget it, but my daughter actually got involved in it!

"Mengya, while you are a child, let him say, I would like to see what else he can say to your grandfather? Don't think it's a big deal to read a few words in a private school for a few days. I, Mengguo Hua is not afraid of him!"

"Who scares you? I'm trying to reason with you. When my son-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't make it through, I didn't see you as a father. Now that my son-in-law's life is better, you let someone help your family. Why? ?”
