I also want to build such a beautiful courtyard wall, where can I get money?
If there is really no other way, I can only find a few more brothers to borrow money.
It's just that for the sake of the Zhou family's face, they have already helped raise the money once, this time, it may be a bit difficult.
Even if the older brothers agreed, the sister-in-laws might not be happy about it.
Zhou Xiaoliu was so worried about this that she almost couldn't sleep. Her daughter-in-law thought about saving a little money, even the daily meatiness was cut off.
So much so that the meals sent by his family to build a house are all vegetarian dishes without any oil stars, which made Zhou Xiaoliu's other elder brothers a little dissatisfied, talking about the house built by Zhao Guoqing's next door.
Eat fried small hemp fish, eat beef, rabbit, duck and so on.
Originally, building a house was a heavy physical labor, but at this moment, his eyes glowed green with hunger, and his mouth watered when he heard the names of these dishes.
"Xiao Liu, you can't use your brothers as cows, even if cows have to eat good fodder to work, you are too stingy..."
"That is, when you built the house, didn't each of our family raise some money for you? We contributed both money and effort. You can't let a few brothers not even have enough to eat!"
As soon as someone spoke, the rest of the people also complained.
They don't spare any effort to do this work, such a hot day, such a heavy work, and they don't even have meaty meals, which can't keep up with the average house in the village.
I heard that even when Wang Cheng's family built a house next door, they had meat every day, either fish or meat.
When it comes to Zhou Xiaoliu, it's good, it's just plain boiled pumpkin, not even a bit of oil.
"Okay, let's eat first. Xiaoliu is your younger brother. His family has a poor foundation. Let me tell your mother to go to the commune to buy two catties of pork and stew it for you..."
The old man of the Zhao family saw that this was getting more and more exaggerated, he quickly coughed twice, picked up a bowl of rice, and buried himself in the pumpkin to eat.
Zhou Xiaoliu's daughter-in-law also has a headache. Why do they eat so much? The bowl is as big as a washbasin. One person has to eat two or three bowls, and she is not full. This is more edible than a pig.
In fact, it is also these days that everyone has no oil in their stomachs, and there are no machines to build houses, all relying on manual work. The weather is hot and this kind of work makes people hungry very quickly.
Zhao Guoqing's side also had a lot of food. If Zhao Guoqing hadn't saved up a lot of meat tickets and exchanged some with Boss Zhao, plus the tickets given by Liu Yuqing's uncle, his family couldn't afford it.
Every one or two days, he had to buy rice. In the end, his family simply went to the brigade to credit the rice, saying that they would pay it back after the autumn harvest.
Rice can be owed on credit, and can be repaid later.
But there must be no shortage of meat dishes, so Zhao Guoqing and his younger brother took action. Zhao Youqing used the ecstasy array to set the cage in the fish pond every day, because he was afraid of being seen by others, he always acted in the middle of the night.
As for the rabbits and the like that were obtained by the animal trap on the mountain, Zhao Guoqing sold very few, and most of them were kept for stewing for everyone to eat.
A
This is not enough, Zhao Guoqing still goes to the commune every two days, and he is a bit reluctant to part with pork, but he can buy pig bones and pig offal, especially some heart, lung and large intestine.
Liu Zhenfang is not afraid of trouble, and washes clean every day.
Either stew a pot of pig intestines and radishes, or cook soup with heart and lungs, or some pig blood tofu soup and the like.
Liu Zhenfang was willing to endure hardships, and cooked food in different ways. Even some ingredients that others would despise and find fishy and smelly, after cooking with her hands, they would still be delicious.
Zhao Guoqing's family built a house, and there were more and more people. Those who did not work hard were persuaded to leave.
Those who stayed worked very hard, for fear that they would not be wanted when they came tomorrow. After all, the Zhao family took care of the meals and paid wages. It was a good job during the slack season.
As for Wang Cheng's family and Zhou Xiaoliu's family who were building houses at the same time.
Wang Cheng's family never hired workers from the beginning, but only a few relatives in his own family to help. When others asked him if he needed help, he said that he only built three rooms at home, which was still early before the autumn harvest, and they built it slowly.
But Zhou Xiaoliu's family was so big at first, and they built four rooms. At first, the brothers of the Zhou family went to help. Not only the brothers of the Zhou family disappeared, but also Zhou Xiaoliu's brother-in-law. The excuse slipped away.
On the entire construction site, only Zhou Xiaoliu, his wife, and his parents were left.
It's just that his parents are too old to do heavy and tiring work, so they can only do it and rest.
When someone came to ask if his family wanted to hire workers, Zhou Xiaoliu wanted to save face, and he was embarrassed to say that the family had no money to hire someone, so he could only vaguely say that the brothers would come back to help after finishing their homework.
But when he saw that Zhao Guoqing's house was going to be roofed, the foundation of his house had just been laid, and the gable hadn't been built yet, he panicked a little.
He scolded his brothers for being unreliable in his heart, so he reluctantly invited two people from the same village to help build the house.
But when people saw that the food they ate was not at all meaty, they immediately lost face.
When working, there was a bit of delay, but Zhou Xiaoliu's family wanted to grab a job, and they didn't talk about casual work until dark at night.
In the days of May and June, it gets dark at more than eight o'clock, and who can stand up to working for more than ten hours a day?
So those two workers only worked for one day and couldn't come back the next day, and they still clamored to calculate their wages, which made Zhou Xiaoliu very angry.
Who works, only for one day?
Have the nerve to ask for wages for a day?
Zhou Xiaoliu's daughter-in-law muttered a few words in displeasure about this matter, and the two angry villagers simply didn't ask for money, but they spoke very vitriolicly about Zhou Xiaoliu and his wife in the village.
It is said that his family is Zhou Baopi, and the tiring work of building a house does not make people full, and even makes people work until dark before going back, more than ten hours a day, and they are not willing to pay wages?
He simply treated people as fools, which made Zhou Xiaoliu and his sisters-in-law feel that they were right.
Their family has contributed money and efforts to save face for Zhou Xiaoliu, but Xiaoliu's family is too dishonest, they treat their elder brothers like cows!
Also, Mr. Zhou is really partial.
Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but under the deliberate propaganda of these people, Zhou Xiaoliu's family suddenly became famous in several nearby villages.
This made him build a new house, and no one came to help him.
And this time, the people in the Li family finally knew about Li Ping they had been looking for with so much effort.
He actually ran to the educated youth spot and hid. Although he was very angry, the two brothers and sisters-in-law of the Li family had to find a way to take Li Ping home.
They even brought a lot of tofu to keep things from being ugly.
But things were beyond the expectations of Li Ping's two brothers.
Chapter 158 The lucky house is completed!
"I won't go back. I live here very well. I can still work for people during the day and have a place to live at night, lest you all dislike me..."
Li Ping will still be angry with her family members.
In the past two days, Liu Yuqing and the others took the time to make two plates of tofu for Zhao Guoqing's family, and some bean sprouts to send over.
She went to help Zhao Guoqing's new house when she was free, but Liu Zhendian never talked to her or even looked at her, which made Li Ping feel more uncomfortable the more she thought about it.
If it wasn't for her parents kneeling and crying in front of her, why did she make herself so miserable?
After staying at Liu Yuqing's house for a day or two last time, she discovered that in some small alleys in the city, there were actually some vendors selling tofu and bean sprouts. She thought that she could go to the city after she couldn't stay at home.
Find a way to get a place to stay, even if you make tofu and sell bean sprouts by yourself, you can support yourself.
She doesn't want to marry anymore, what good is marriage?
Seeing people getting married, being beaten by men, and not having enough to eat, she didn't want to get married anymore.
"Little sister, stop making trouble, your parents are worried about you, and your family members are also worried about you, go back, what can't you talk about as a family, brother and sister-in-law will help you..."
The elder brothers of Li Ping's family are still good, and they love this little girl very much.
Moreover, because Li Ping's family can make tofu and bean sprouts, they would sell some to the commune during the slack season. Although they couldn't make a fortune, the conditions were relatively good.
You can still eat at home.
Brothers and sisters are more harmonious than other families.
In the end Li Ping still didn't want to leave, Xia Ruolan pushed her and laughed.
"Sister Li, don't make trouble, look at how nice your brother and sister-in-law are, go back quickly, and bring some fried soybeans to eat in a few days..."
What Xia Ruolan said reminded Li Ping of what Xia Ruolan had said when they got along these two days.
She said that women have to find a way to be self-reliant and self-reliant first, and only when they are independent can they have the confidence to find happiness.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
In the end, Li Ping went home with her elder brother and sister-in-law. This time she disappeared. Although Li Ping was finally found, her parents were still terrified, and Li Ping's classmates from the commune came to the door with gifts. .
Li Ping directly asked Li Ping to throw away the gift, kicked him out, and told the classmate that she was unwilling to marry him even if she was an old girl all her life.
Li Ping made her parents very angry this time, and in the end her mother fell ill.
Zhao Guoqing's house finally ushered in the day when it was capped.
When Liu Zhencai put the last tile on the roof, he yelled.
"The auspicious house is completed, set off firecrackers..."
It is customary for the Chaoyang brigade to set off firecrackers when the beams are still capped, which indicates that a certain house has been built.
As soon as the capped firecrackers were set off, all the smiles showed on their faces, saying that the construction of the Zhao family's house was really smooth.
For such a long time, it has not rained even once, which is really a blessing from God.
Moreover, this house is probably the fastest and best house built by the entire Chaoyang brigade. After all, because there are so many people, the main house was completed in less than a month.
The rest is to build a kitchen in the courtyard wall, build a pigsty and a chicken pen, etc.
There is repairing toilets and so on.
Zhao Guoqing also showed a smile on his face as he looked at the five bright red brick houses.
The house is 12 meters long, 20 meters wide, and [-] meters and [-] high. The five rooms are [-] meters long.
Standing at the door is unusually grand, and it is even more extraordinary if you look in from the outside of the yard.
The yard is 36 meters long, the front yard is 20 meters long, and the back yard is also [-] meters long.
Such a big house is located in this Chaoyang Village, and it is larger than the office of the Chaoyang Brigade.
Zhao Guoqing's house is relatively tall, not only passers-by can see it, but even many families in the Chaoyang brigade can see his grand house as long as they stand in the yard and look up to the east.
This house is so beautifully built.
So much so that when his house was capped, almost the whole village came to watch the fun.
Liu Zhenfang, who was tidying up the new windows, was surrounded by villagers. Many people were asking how much she spent on building the house.
Whoever designed this house, every room is bright and majestic, and there are so many rooms, it looks enviable.
Rural people, if you tell him who in the city can earn how much money a year, they will not be envious or feel anything, but a family like Zhao Guoqing who builds such a grand house will shock them.
Such a beautiful and big house is really the first in Chaoyang Village!
"The house was built by National Day and his uncle. I don't know how much it cost. I say it was thousands of yuan. The main reason is the courtyard wall, which is too expensive..."
Liu Zhenfang said that it would cost money to build a house, but the smile on her face never stopped.
The whole person seems to be ten years younger.
She felt that she had never been so happy as now, it was like a dream.
Ever since my son divorced Chen Furong, the days are getting more and more prosperous, happy.
Mrs. Mei also heard the sound of firecrackers. Standing under the corridor of her own yard, she could see the magnificent courtyard wall of Zhao Guoqing's house just by raising her head a little.
The red brick was like a smear of blood, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Such a magnificent house should only be lived in by his grandson Zhao Daqing, how could it be Zhao Guoqing's house?
Thinking of Zhao Guoqing, Mrs. Mei felt a headache.
Not filial and stubborn, no matter how you look at it, it is not pleasing to the eye, what evil did she do in her previous life.
When you meet Zhao Guoqing, even if you are alone, you will be pissed off by him.
So Mrs. Mei, who had eaten two large bowls of corn paste in the morning, fell ill again and lay on the bed when she heard the sound of firecrackers being fired from Zhao Guoqing's house.
While Zhao Xiu was in the city, she also received a telegram from Zhao Gui, saying that Mrs. Mei was ill, and asked her to come back and have a look, and comfort her to forgive her.
Zhao Xiu was delayed for a few days, then packed up and rushed to her mother's house. On the way, she came across a donkey cart and asked someone to send her to the Chaoyang brigade for [-] cents.
When approaching the Chaoyang Brigade, Zhao Xiu saw the majestic red brick courtyard wall from a distance, and the donkey driver saw that she noticed it, and couldn't help introducing it to her enthusiastically.
"You also saw that row of courtyard walls, that is the face of Chaoyang Village, the most beautiful house in their village, I heard that it was built by a man surnamed Zhao..."
Surname Zhao?
Zhao Xiu suddenly laughed. The surname Zhao in Chaoyang Village is her natal family?
Others thought that her natal family was poor, but in fact she knew that the old lady had a lot of money. Could it be that the house was specially built for Daqing in order to marry the granddaughter-in-law?
