Several brothers in his family supported him to build a house together, and the old father would also support some extra.
With so many people's financial resources combined, it doesn't make sense that they can't compare with Zhao Guoqing?
"Hehe, don't worry, I can hate you in the brigade office. After the house is built, I can hate you as well. If you can't do it, you can't..."
Zhao Guoqing let out a heck of disdain, like Zhou Xiaoliu, do you really think that if you have more people and more brothers, you will be able to do it?
Building a house requires not only a large number of people, but also money and vision.
Among the crowd, there were villagers who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, so they booed on the side.
"Oh, Xiaoliu's family built a house this week and scattered cigarettes everywhere, and they have already scattered three boxes of good cigarettes. Tomorrow when you build a house at Zhao Guoqing's house, you must use Hongmei smoke, or you will be inferior..."
A box of Hongmei cigarettes is not cheap, and these villagers are usually reluctant to smoke.
"Welcome all the neighbors to join us tomorrow..."
Zhao Guoqing smiled, didn't say anything extra, turned around and left.
On the first day of building a new house, the more people come, the more it indicates that the owner's life will be prosperous in the future, so when someone builds a house and lays the foundation, they will set off firecrackers and smoke to make it lively.
Zhao Guoqing's family also prepared cigarettes. After thinking about it, the last time the family went to the county town to buy some white rabbit toffee. If you don't take it out in the hot weather, it will be melted. Tomorrow when laying the foundation, sprinkle a handful of candy It's also good.
There will definitely be guests at home tomorrow, so buy more rice noodles and bring back some meat.
At that time, laying the foundation will depend on strong labor. If people come to help with food and drink, they should be more generous. How can they have the strength to work if they don’t have enough food?
So after returning from Zhou Xiaoliu, Zhao Guoqing went to the commune.
This time he bought rice and white flour from the food stamps he usually saved, which weighed about one or two hundred catties, except that he kept most of the food stamps at home to eat when he was preparing to build a house.
There are still fifty or sixty catties, and Zhao Guoqing plans to send them to Liu Yuqing and the others, after all, the second sister lives there.
There must be some rations.
It's just that when Zhao Guoqing went to deliver the food, Liu Yuqing pulled him aside before he left.
Zhao Xiahe, who was lying on the side of the bed, caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eyes, quickly turned sideways and pretended to sleep, and covered his head and ears with the quilt by the way.
"Liu Zhiqing, is something wrong with you?"
Zhao Guoqing, who was pulled into the corner by Liu Yuqing, was taken aback for a moment.
Chapter 147 How can I repay this debt of favor?
"Yes, I have something to do. Isn't your family going to build a house tomorrow? I have some candy and biscuits here. When you set off the firecrackers tomorrow, let's spread it out and make it lively so as not to be laughed at. There are quite a few people in your village who have started building houses these days." ..."
Liu Yuqing said something in a low voice, quickly opened the cabinet, took out a big bag and stuffed it into Zhao Guoqing's hand.
I'm not happy if I don't accept it.
"No, thank you very much, keep it for you to eat, my family prepares cigarettes and a catty of sugar, it's enough!"
Zhao Guoqing didn't expect Liu Yuqing to still think about it?
He even prepared a bag of things for his family. The supply is still a little tight these days. It is difficult to eat some candies and biscuits in Chaoyang Village.
The things Liu Yuqing prepared for him must have been sent from her home and saved by her.
The second sister has already caused them trouble here, how can I take advantage of a girl's family?
"Take it, I brought a lot when I went home last time. There are a lot of these things in my house. Don't be polite to me, or I will be angry..."
Seeing Zhao Guoqing's refusal, Liu Yuqing was really anxious and insisted on stuffing it into his hands. It wasn't until they heard Xia Ruolan's cough that they parted with embarrassment.
A large bag of things has been stuffed into Zhao Guoqing's hands.
On the one hand, Liu Yuqing only showed a smiling face at this moment, and entered the room with a laugh, leaving Zhao Guoqing a nice back view.
"This is Yuqing's kindness. She is happy and she is willing. Just accept it. I will cook some delicious dishes later and satisfy our greed..."
Xia Ruolan's words eased Zhao Guoqing's embarrassment, and he readily agreed without thinking about it.
It was only when he left that Zhao Xiahe, who had been pretending to be asleep and covering his head, put down the quilt and let out a long breath. His face was flushed, and he couldn't help but secretly looked at Liu Yuqing with a knowing smile on his face.
My little brother, fools are blessed with fools.
Zhao Guoqing took the bag home and didn't look at it at the time. When he opened it when he was free, he was a little surprised.
Because this package was really thoughtful, it was the kind of small biscuits that were packaged in individual exquisite bags, and various beautiful and exquisite fruit candies, he opened one casually, and it turned out to be an orange-flavored candy.
Stuffed in the mouth, it is soft, sweet and has a taste of oranges, which tastes great.
This kind of candy commune does not sell it here, and it is estimated that only the county town sells it.
There is also that kind of sesame cake, with thick sesame seeds on top, rock sugar and stuffing in the middle, and the aroma of sesame seeds after a bite is endless. These are good things that are rarely eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Besides these, there was also a small colorful bag, which Zhao Guoqing opened to take a look.
It turned out to be money, five yuan and ten yuan tied together, a total of 230 yuan, here, there are whole and zero, Zhao Guoqing suddenly felt a little at a loss.
After all, no matter how good Liu Yuqing's family is, she is just a girl's family. She took out more than 200 yuan at once. Does Zhao Guoqing think this is all her belongings?
After all, the eight yuan was put in, and Liu Yuqing might lose a penny.
This this……
Zhao Guoqing scratched his head, this is a bit of a headache, how can he repay others in the future?
When Zhao Guoqing was in a daze, she saw her little sister walking by the window. Zhao Guoqing grabbed a handful of biscuits and candies and gave them to her little sister Zhao Dongxue.
"Oh, brother, save this for the reception of guests when the house is built tomorrow, I don't want..."
Zhao Dongxue said no, but the way she stared at Candy, she had already betrayed herself.
"There's more, here, don't tell Mom, or you won't be able to eat!"
Zhao Guoqing chuckled in a low voice, Zhao Dongxue didn't insist now, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and stuffed the candies and biscuits given by the eldest brother into two pockets.
Then put your hands in your pockets so that they don't look bulging and are easy to be spotted.
Zhao Dongxue found Zhao Dongmei and brother Zhao Youqing, and gave each of them two candies and two biscuits, and counted the rest, intending to keep a few for the elder brother, and some for the dog later, he likes candies the most up.
"It's so sweet, it's so delicious, I've never seen it before!"
Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Dongxue happily bit their ears together.
The two little girls were sitting under the eaves, shaking their bodies with a candy in their mouths, and the sunlight came over, freezing their sweet moments at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Guoqing smiled.
Their happiness and joy are so simple, they are not like adults at all. To compare myself, holding the 230 yuan in my hand is like holding a hot taro, I don’t know what to do?
I still have to find a chance to return it, and make it clear that if Liu Yuqing insists, it can only be regarded as a loan, and the interest will be calculated for others.
After Zhao Guoqing left, Liu Yuqing hummed a song in a low voice, making Xia Ruolan smile at her.
And Liu Yuqing began to wonder, how to write letters to family members asking for money?
Zhao Guoqing's guess was right, the 230 yuan was all Liu Yuqing's possessions at this time.
A girl's family, and in the country, actually has more than 200 yuan, which is already a huge sum of money.
But Liu Yuqing gave Zhao Guoqing all her brains, and then wrote to her family again, saying that she was short of money here, and she was still racking her brains to find a way to make her family believe her.
"I fell and spent money on medical treatment? No, no, my mother will definitely come to see me at that time. This won't work, but why can I spend so much money? Ill? No way, how can I write..."
Liu Yuqing sat at the table and whispered to himself.
Worry!
If the family knew that she had given the money to Zhao Guoqing, they would definitely not agree, and they might react too aggressively. The family should not know about it.
How do you think of a reliable reason that convinces your family that you spent a lot of money during this period?
It became Liu Yuqing's heart disease.
This made her toss and turn at night and couldn't sleep. She didn't know that Xia Ruolan was also asleep in the same room, her eyes were open all the time without any sleepiness, and all she could think of was the scene of Liu Yuqing and Zhao Guoqing pulling each other today.
Zhao Guoqing didn't sleep well at night, and he woke up before dawn the next day.
I went to the mountain first, caught two rabbits and a pheasant in the animal trap, and went home happily. I don't plan to sell these things today, and I have to keep them for hospitality.
Not to mention, he also asked Zhao Youqing to go to Shuangtang to fetch fishing nets, while Liu Zhenfang killed a duck at home to entertain guests today.
Zhao Guoqing calculated the time, and planned to set off firecrackers and sprinkle candy when relatives and friends came, and many villagers and children in the village would run here.
Zhao Guoqing, who was busy distributing cigarettes, turned his head and was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar figure.
Chapter 148 The Mountain Tide Can't Keep Up with the Crowd!
"Uncle? Why are you here? When did you come back from the army?"
Zhao Guoqing shouted in surprise, he really didn't expect his uncle Liu Zhendian to come back?
When the family separated last time, it was my uncle who stood up and asked him to dig a trap for catching wild boars. It's just that my uncle is in the army and can only come back when he is on vacation.
"I heard that you are building a house today, so I will take an early vacation, and I won't come back to help you..."
Liu Zhendian was a little haggard, he rushed back overnight.
Originally, he planned to come back from vacation to work, but after receiving a telegram sent to him from home, he simply came back early.
When Liu Zhendian went there, he saw Zhao Shun and Zhang Jun rushing over to greet him.
Zhao Guoqing's family built a house today, except for the grandmother who brought the uncle's family of four and the younger uncle, Zhang Jun and Zhao Shun from the Chaoyang Brigade also came.
Eldest sister Zhao Chunlan and brother-in-law Zhou Yong also came with the dog leftover.
Liu Yuqing and Xia Ruolan also came over.
In addition, Zhao Quan and Chen Hongmei also came, and for a while there were people all over the pond.
Everyone looked around Shuangtang with great interest, and they all praised the good Fengshui here, with the back against the mountain and the water in front of the gate, and the surrounding of the foundation is spacious, it looks like a good place.
Zhao Guoqing looked at everyone with a smile. He was in a very good mood at this time. No matter whether others were complimenting or telling the truth, he really liked this place.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, leeward and quiet, and it is comfortable to live here.
In the future, red plums, pomegranates, or peach blossoms can be planted by the pond. When the time comes, there will be flowers to see and fruits to eat, not to mention how beautiful it is.
"This place is really good. The air is sweet. The main reason is that the trees on the mountain grow lush and the water quality is clear. Whoever chose the foundation here really has a vision..."
Liu Zhendian was also full of praise for this position, and Liu Zhenfang on the side couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
He pointed at Zhao Guoqing and said that he chose this place.
There are a total of eight foundations, and Zhao Youqing got four foundations. In the future, the two brothers can have a caregiver when they are together.
After saying this, Liu Zhendian kept nodding, glanced at his brother-in-law Zhao Gui who was squatting by the pond smoking a cigarette, and didn't bother to talk to him, just patted Zhao Guoqing on the shoulder.
"Good job, this is the elder brother. Your mother has suffered for half her life. From now on, this family depends on you. Your family's life will be better and better. This person is almost ready to set off firecrackers... "
When Liu Zhendian said this, Zhao Guoqing hurriedly asked his younger brother Youqing to set off firecrackers.
The sound of the firecrackers meant that the Zhao family was going to build a new house here, and the villagers who heard the sound of firecrackers, no matter adults or children, would come to join in the fun and say congratulations.
It also represents a ceremony. After the firecrackers go off, the ground can be dug to build the house.
With the sound of crackling firecrackers, Zhao Guoqing took a bag of toffee and biscuits and sprinkled them on the foundation. After this sprinkle, a group of impatient children who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up, scrambling to pick up the sprinkles and fall on the ground sweets and cookies.
The child who was about to grab the candy shouted happily.
"It's a big white rabbit, and there are biscuits, crisp..."
"There are also fruit candies!"
……
The conditions in the countryside are not particularly good. Even if you want to build a house to be festive and lively, some people who are more particular will prepare half a catty of candy to sprinkle.
Like yesterday at Zhou Xiaoliu's house, although three packs of cigarettes were scattered, only half a catty of hard candy wrapped in colorful plastic paper was prepared.
That kind of hard candy is cheap and cannot be chewed, it can only melt slowly in the mouth. If you bite hard with your teeth, it will easily break your teeth.
It's not like Zhao Guoqing's house at all. Not only did they prepare good cigarettes to entertain men, but they also sprinkled sugar without any ambiguity. The big white rabbit sprinkled a catty of toffee, as well as various biscuits, fruit candies, and several delicious sesame cakes. Jin, suddenly made the children of Chaoyang brigade envious.
The child who didn't grab the candy was crying anxiously, yelling that he wanted fruit candy.
It made the men who stood smoking and bragging very upset. Luckily, Liu Zhenfang had already prepared for it. Those children who were too small and didn't get it gave some candies and one or two biscuits by themselves. Reluctant to swallow the sugar in one gulp.
Instead, he licked and ate it mouthful, for fear that if he swallowed it in one bite, the delicious fruit candy would be gone!
After all, it was the first time for many children to eat so many delicious foods.
