Full of food and color

Chapter 45 Zhang Luo's new home
Baozhu trotted all the way to follow her father to the west end of the village. In her impression, the place where Dr. Wei lived was considered to be the edge of the village.But in front of him, there stood a dilapidated small courtyard alone, which was Baozhu's new home.

It is not so much a yard as it is a few simple thatched huts, surrounded by a crooked fence. There is only a well in the yard and an old stone mill with pits and holes.

Baozhu grinned and looked around, this was her new home, although it was so simple that it didn't even have a latrine or a pigsty and a chicken coop, but thinking of leaving Chen's house to live in the future, she felt extremely relieved.

Chen Tiegui walked around the yard, rolled up his sleeves and started to work. The dry well had to be pumped again, and the yard had to be repaired.Building the latrine, fixing the chicken coop, these miscellaneous things, I can't finish it in a while.

This small courtyard was originally an old house of a family in the village. It has not been lived in for decades, and it is also the most remote and desolate place in the village. , compared to the Chen family, it is far behind, and the Chen family is still located in the east of the center of the village.It takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the new home to Chen Liu's home.

The house is too old, and there are gaps in many places, and it is no longer sheltered from wind and rain. The northernmost house has collapsed half of the wall.In addition, the yard is small and far away from the village, so the Wangs only spent four pennies to buy the deed.

After leaving the small courtyard, I could vaguely see people hundreds of meters away.The only thing that made Baozhu happy was that the small courtyard was very close to the river, which made it easier for Chen Tiegui's family of five to tidy up.

After a while, Mrs. Wang led her two sons back from the river with buckets.

Seeing Baozhu standing outside watching helplessly, her small appearance is white and cute, very attractive, Wang's heart ached, she put down the bucket and picked up her daughter, "Mother's good boy, wait until your father cleans up our new house. It’s not what it is now.”

Baozhu grinned without hesitation and said, "Hello, new house!"

Wang put down the orb with a smile, and said to Chen Tiegui: "I plan to build a house today and move our things here, so we can live in it first. Your mother is always cursing, how can you give us anything?" Pick a date?"

Chen Tiegui nodded and said yes, and said that the house on the south side was more pleasing to the eye, so he would make do with it and live in it, and after the latrine was built, he would flatten the three rooms on the north side and build a new one.

Mrs. Wang took a few children to tidy up the house on the south side, while Chen Tiegui was busy in the yard. At noon, Niu Dafu and Li Shuangxi came driving an ox cart.

Li Shuangxi walked around the small courtyard, sighed, "Take care of it slowly, thankfully I'm living on my own now."

Mrs. Wang said yes with a smile. Looking outside, she saw several pieces of furniture on the cart, and one of the small square tables was the one on the kang in Li Shuangxi's house.Wang's heart became hot, and she didn't know what to say for a while, Li Shuangxi smiled, "You can make do with those few things first, and then slowly work on the whole thing, picking and choosing is not satisfactory, just do whatever you like. I picked up a few and brought them here, so don’t think they’re old.”

Wang's eyes became hot, and she turned her head away, "I'll keep it, and when Tie Gui'er is free, I can get some wood and make a new one for you."

Niu Dafu took off his shirt and went to build a latrine with Chen Tiegui, and Li Shuangxi followed the Wangs to pack up the new house, working inside and out for most of the day, bringing in a few household items, and the house finally looked good.

Mrs. Wang boiled a pot of water and sat down with Li Shuangxi for a short rest. Li Shuangxi took out a sling of money from her arms, and Mrs. Wang's face sank, "Hurry up and take the money back, so that your man can see you." It's okay, how can you treat others so kindly?"

"Go, go! Is my family rich so unreasonable?" Li Shuangxi glanced at Mrs. Wang, "We used to be from the same village, and we grew up playing together since we were young. I don't care about the affection here." Tell him?"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears. Thinking of how Mrs. Chen and Liu treated her before, and thinking about how Shuangxi and his wife helped each other, she couldn't help but say, "My mother-in-law who has lived together for more than ten years In the end, it was not as good as Xianghou's sisters who treated me well. When I came out with Tiegui, I didn't even give them a chopping board. I insisted that I had saved more than a dozen pennies, and I still blame me and Tiegui. , My heart is indescribably uncomfortable."

Li Shuangxi thinks about it, it's not, she knows best, and she said that the money earned from setting up a stall in the front, Wang's only got four pennies. They scrape cloth to buy things to make clothes, how can they get ten strings!The mother who has been called for more than ten years, but in the end she is unwilling to trust her son and daughter-in-law. She has done such a terrible thing, and she doesn't care about the old relationship at all.

Li Shuangxi's anger returned from anger, but at this moment, she could only choose good ways to persuade Wang Shi.

The two talked for a while, and Wang felt much better. He bought the yard and only had two coins left. Now is the time when he needs money the most, but he feels embarrassed again. Counting this time, he owes Double Happiness again. favor.For a while, I lamented my mother-in-law's indifference and selfishness.

Seeing Mrs. Wang like that, Li Shuangxi pursed her lips and said, "You are the one who thinks about things the most. What are you doing now? Seeing that it's autumn, let's build a house first. You don't mind the cold. How many children are also suffering from the cold with you? Take the money quickly!"

Mrs. Wang agreed, accepted the money, and was filled with emotion for a moment: "Speaking of my temper, I have never thought of such a day in these years. In the end, you are the only one who tries to help, and the family is separated. Once this news gets out, the women in the village might have something to say about me."

Li Shuangxi smiled, suddenly raised her chin, and said in a low voice: "As soon as you said it, I remembered that Cuixi from your family went to your mother's house at noon today."

Mrs. Wang smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I just heard the news of the separation and went back to gossip."

Li Shuangxi glanced at Mrs. Wang, "That's not necessarily the case. Your second child didn't even go to her family's wheat collection earlier. As for your family's Tiegui and Tieshan's solid eyes, how can you say she owes this favor?" down."

Before Mrs. Wang could reply, there was a burst of yelling from outside the yard, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"

When Mrs. Wang heard that voice was Chen Cuixi's, she quickly wiped her face and went out of the yard.

As soon as Mrs. Wang went out, she couldn't help but stared blankly at the cart outside the yard. Chen Cuixi smiled, "I went back to the house early this morning, and I heard mother said that sister-in-law and elder brother separated. No, I hurried back to the house to pick up I brought some things to my sister-in-law."

He yelled at Jide again at the top of his voice, "Slow down, your sister Baozhu likes to be clean, don't provoke me, go play somewhere else!"

Mrs. Wang took another look at the two big bulging bags on the scooter, and asked, "San Meizi, what are you talking about? What else do you bring here, and what's in the bag?"

Chen Cuixi said "Hi!", "I asked our family to help harvest the wheat earlier, and my eldest brother helped me for a long time without saying a word. I was thinking that my sister-in-law is now separated, and she must have nothing to do with her mother's temper." Well, this little food is enough for my sister-in-law's family to eat for a few months, so it's my brother's favor!"

Mrs. Wang was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a long while before she realized, she asked, "Is there any news about Ji De's father?"

Chen Cuixi let out a "bah", but her tone was a bit smug, "But Meimei worried me for a while, who would want to go to the south with his employer for a few months, that stupid head, I don't know Send a letter, if it wasn't for earning some money and coming back, I can't live with him!"
