Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 42 Repairing the House
The next day.

He made a fortune by selling the medicinal materials, but this money was not owned by Chen Mu alone, it should also be half of that of Liang Xiaoyue in Shuitian Village.

At noon that day, Chen Mu took Chen Xiaoyu with him, and the two rode a motorcycle to Shuitian Village.

Chen Mu held Chen Xiaoyu's hand, and the two soon came to Liang Xiaoyue's yard.Liang Xiaoyue wasn't at home at the moment, it was her mother who received the two of them.

Liang Xiaoyue's mother walked out of the door leaning on crutches, was surprised when she saw Chen Mu, and asked quickly;
"You are the young guy who brought Xiaoyue into the mountains to collect herbs, right?"

Chen Mu nodded and smiled; "Yes, Auntie, isn't Xiaoyue at home?"

"She went to cut pigweed in the vegetable field, why don't you come in and sit down for a while."

"Don't bother." Chen Mu said with a smile, "I came here to give Liang Xiaoyue the money for selling medicinal materials. Since she is not at home, you can help him accept it, Auntie."

Chen Mu took out a few stacks of money from a black plastic bag, handed it to Yao Honglian, and said;

"This is the money for selling medicinal materials. The total is 6 yuan. Auntie, please accept it."

Yao Honglian looked at the money handed over in surprise, not daring to believe it; "Well, how come there is so much money?"

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be surprised, the money is earned by Xiaoyue picking herbs, so you can accept it at ease."

Yao Honglian looked at the money, then at Chen Mu, hesitated for a while, and then took the money with trembling hands.

"Thank you so much, young man." Yao Honglian collected the money and was grateful, "Thank you for bringing Xiaoyue into the mountains to collect herbs to make money. It was my fault before. If it weren't for me, Yang Shumeng and the others wouldn't go to your village to make trouble. I I really regret it."

Chen Mu smiled wryly; "It's all just a misunderstanding, it's nothing serious."

"Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding, just don't take it to heart."

. . .

Yao Honglian wanted to keep Chen Mu's father and daughter to eat at home, but Chen Mu declined. He didn't plan to stay in Shuitian Village for too long. Taking advantage of the sufficient funds, he planned to go home and ask someone to renovate the house.

Walking out of the entrance of Shuitian Village, Chen Mu carried Chen Xiaoyu onto the motorcycle, let her sit in front, and started the car back to Longdong Village.

Taking advantage of the fine weather, Chen Mu found many master carpenters in the village, hired some small workers, and began to renovate his old house.

Wang Fugui didn't have much to do these days, so he also came to help. A large group of people gathered at Chen Mu's house, and the house repair work began immediately.

The old tiles on the roof had long been dilapidated, so Chen Mu immediately contacted the owner of the brick and tile factory and asked him to send a truckload of tiles.

From this afternoon, the master carpenters and small workers began to work. They refurbished the wooden walls of the old house with electric planers, and painted the wooden walls. The renovation work was carried out in an orderly manner.

Rural people are very efficient in doing things. By the afternoon of the second day, the entire old house has been renovated inside and out.

This afternoon, a large truck drove to the entrance of Longdong Village, and the blue tiles ordered by Chen Mu arrived.

A group of people began to unload the goods and get off the car, and Chen Mu also went to help, using a tricycle to push the tiles into the yard, immediately removed the old tiles from the roof, and rebuilt the house with tiles. The house renovation work is in full swing.

On the afternoon of the third day, the whole old house has been completely renewed.Chen Mu bought another batch of interior decoration materials. On the fourth day, the interior decoration work of the house was nearing completion. The bathroom, flush toilet, kitchen and living room had all been newly added.

Now the last batch of furniture is missing, and the electrical appliances are not in place.

On the fifth day, the furniture and electrical appliances transported from the county were also in place.These furniture and electrical appliances mainly include: sofa, wardrobe, desk, chair, coffee table, TV, computer, freezer and so on.

Chen Mu spent 6 to 10 yuan on this set of furniture and electrical appliances alone, plus the house repair fee for the master workers, [-] yuan is almost gone.

But as long as the house can be refurbished so that he and his daughter can live comfortably, Chen Mu doesn't care about the expense.There will be plenty of opportunities to earn money in the future, and no matter how expensive the price is, the house must be renovated first.

The house has taken on a new look, and the happiest thing is Chen Xiayu, because she can finally watch TV and cartoons.

Now, Chen Xiaoyu's greatest joy is that she watches cartoons in the living room, eats snacks, and feeds the goshawks around her from time to time.

The goshawk is now able to fly completely autonomously.However, it seemed to be led astray by Chen Xiaoyu, and it rarely flew into the sky, but followed behind Chen Xiaoyu like a fat chicken, inseparable.It's all because Chen Xiaoyu gave it snacks, sometimes Chen Xiaoyu didn't give it to the goshawk, so it flapped its wings to snatch the food, making the house a mess.

Once, when Chen Xiaoyu wasn't paying attention, Goshawk took away the half-eaten french fries she had eaten. In a fit of anger, Chen Xiaoyu caught Goshawk and threw it down the corridor on the second floor.

Fortunately, the goshawk is an animal that can fly, otherwise it would be thrown to death by Chen Xiaoyu sooner or later.

"Little fish, you can't keep feeding Dahui snacks." Chen Mu reprimanded more than once, "You will spoil it like this, and you will turn a goshawk into a fat chicken."

Big Hui is the name Chen Xiaoyu gave Goshawk a few days ago. The reason why she chose to give Goshawk such a name is probably because the goshawk's feathers are gray.

After hearing Chen Mu's reprimand, Chen Xiaoyu said, "Rapa, it's not that Xiaoyu wants to feed Da Hui, but Da Hui himself wants to grab it from me."

"Then can't you hide the snacks?"

"It can't be hidden. If you hide it, the little fish will have nothing to eat."

Sometimes, Chen Mu really has nothing to do with this brat, he can only let her temper run amok at home.

This afternoon, Chen Mu planned to renovate the soil in the yard in front of his house. He wanted to use this yard to grow some vegetables, so that he would not have to go to town to buy vegetables every day.

Finding a hoe, he began to dig the soil in the yard. When Chen Xiaoyu saw it, he ran downstairs and came to Chen Mu.

"Rake, what are you doing?" she asked curiously.

"Father is plowing the ground to grow vegetables, and the little fish will have fresh vegetables to eat in the future."

Seeing that Chen Mu was digging the soil, Chen Xiaoyu said, "Rake rake, Xiaoyu also wants to grow vegetables."

"You don't want to join in the fun." Chen Mu said with a smile, "Go and sit under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, otherwise the little fish will be sunburned."

"Little fish are not afraid of the sun, but they want to grow vegetables."

Chen Mu smiled wryly, a child's self-esteem is very strong, if you don't follow her wishes, she will really be anxious with you.

Chen Mu had no choice but to find a small hoe by the wall in the backyard and handed it to her.

Holding a small hoe, Chen Xiaoyu started digging in the yard, and asked after a few digs;
"Rake rake, isn't it like this, the little fish has turned over a lot of soil."

"You can't do this, your shoes are all dirty, you didn't dig them like this..."

"That's how to dig."

"Little fish, let's go to rest, just let daddy come."

"No, Xiaoyu is not tired."

Well, Chen Mu has black lines on his face, he really has nothing to do with this brat.
