The Portable Farm in the Siheyuan

In order to appease his mother's anger, Mo Bin unloaded the things in the car, braised pig heads and trotters, offal, stewed a large bucket of big bones, fruits, celery, vermicelli, green onions, as well as plates, bowls, and basins. The enamel bowl, chopsticks, and the complete set were all given to my eldest brother's house.

There is no other way. Every family has to chip in, and they won’t give it to anyone else. Now every family has rotten bowls and a few broken plates. There is nothing to put them in when cooking a few more dishes. There are not enough bowls and chopsticks when there are too many people. Most families don’t even have enough. There are no cups.

I also unloaded two bags of white flour and two bags of cornmeal, the same 50-pound bags purchased from the Grain Bureau. The cornmeal is processed by the space itself.

There are also twenty kilograms of half-fat and lean bear meat, two wild rabbits, four pheasants, two wild wolves, and four large fish, all of which have been prepared. There is no reason to give good food to others and poor food to my family.

In the surprise of the sister-in-law and the child, and in the mother's murderous eyes, she ran away in a hurry, and met her father, brother, younger brother, cousin, sister, brother-in-law, etc. who were coming back from get off work. They all knew that he was back and would definitely come and take a look at home. the backbone of.

"Don't leave at night. Brother-in-law, please take the children over and have dinner together in the evening. I'll bring back the prepared tables and chairs." Mo Bin explained in a hurry and drove off on his motorcycle.

Returning to the warehouse in Beixinqiao again, Mo Bin used the good wood he received from the mountains to make a solid wood dining table that was 1.8 meters long, 60 centimeters wide and 65 centimeters high. It had a complete mortise and tenon structure and a layer of drawers underneath. , increasing the stability of the table.

I also made a simple small dining table, the most common one for cutting vegetables and making noodles. It is the same height as the dining table. It can be put together when there are more people. It is usually placed separately. The dining table is mostly placed in the kitchen.

I made twelve small chairs and eight small stools, filling the trunk of the car. Fortunately, it was made of soft-top tarpaulin.

Stopping at the gate, there was no need to shout. Everyone who heard the movement came out. "All move to the big brother on the east side. The fourth and fifth brothers are ready. Bring them back when you have time." Mo Bin said to everyone. .

"So many? It doesn't matter how many guests come to this guy. This big table can accommodate fourteen people if squeezed together, and the small table can also seat eight." said the fourth child, Mo Yongtai.

"Hurry up and move. Yours isn't that big, and you don't need that many benches. The eldest brother's house is bigger, and the whole family can get together often." Mo Bin said impatiently.

There were many people and the move was fast. It was completed in two trips. Mo Bin didn't get the motorcycle back to the compound. He still had to go out in the evening. There was quite a lot to do tonight. At least he had to furnish all the furniture for the three houses. It's all here, otherwise there won't be enough beds, and the Jia family won't be able to stay there for a few days.

After the renovation, the first floor of the eldest brother’s house has exceeded 64 square meters. This is not a public space. The original two wing rooms were 15 square meters, the wing room was only 24 square meters, and the single-room reverse room was slightly smaller, only 103 square meters. Square, totaling 8 square meters, the key is that Lao Yang expanded the wing room to be as wide as the wing room, increasing the area by 111 square meters, to square meters.

On the first floor, there is a large master bedroom, a second bedroom, a bathroom and a bath room, where you can boil water and use a wooden bucket for bathing.

The original kitchen was turned into a kitchen, and the flue went out from the original doorway to the corner of the small yard. Anyway, it would be replaced with a gas tank in a few years.

There is also a hand-washing and dishwashing basin, and the kitchen has two pots, one large and one small, which are connected together. To the east of the kitchen is a circular wooden staircase, which is the only way to the second floor.

The remaining space is all the living room, which is very large. Upstairs are four bedrooms, a bathroom, and a living room.

Once the table was put down and the chairs were arranged, it was no longer so empty. The children happily hugged the chairs and never let go.

There were two separate tables for men and women. The food that Mo Bin brought back was very large. Knowing that there were many people in the family, it was only once, not to mention two tables, and four tables were enough to share.

Cousin Mo Chunlan also came over. She was very happy to hear that her brother Mo Yongqiu had gone to Beijing Cotton Factory No. 1 to report. Mo Bin simply asked his brother-in-law Sun Guangqiang to drive Mo Cong in his car. Mo Chunlan went over and called the boy Coming over for dinner also allows both parties to recognize each other and visit each other in the future, since they are not far away anyway.

I talked with my dad about his hometown, mainly about the construction of the purchasing station and his planning arrangements. In addition, he may go on a business trip to Northeast China in the near future. At that time, he will take Mo Cong, Meng Qingmin, and Sun Guangqiang there to purchase the three departments. The matter must be left to Jia Dongxu to look after.

"Don't worry, Binzi. I've basically figured it out now. Although I don't have the ability to help you purchase, I can help you look after this stall." Jia Dongxu quickly expressed his position.

"That's fine, I'm not that fast. I will arrange things in the factory at home before leaving. You should also prepare. Tomorrow, your family will move to Lao Wu's house for a few days, and let Lao Yang seize the time to help you decorate it. , it will only take four or five days at most. If you expand the wing room, the area of ​​your house is basically the same as that of Laosi Laowu and Lao Si Lao Wu. It will be no problem for your family to live there for twenty years." Mo Bin said to him.

"Thank you, brother!" Jia Dongxu didn't know what to say. He owed too many favors.

"Sister-in-law, are you still used to your job? Don't be afraid of hardship. Show more. Not only can you learn your skills, but my comrades can help you become a regular employee in the future. He won't be able to speak if your performance is too poor!" Mo Bin reminded Jia Dongxu.

"Don't worry, your sister-in-law is very motivated and her work is easy and smooth. It's not much more complicated than cooking at home. She will definitely not let you lose face. The household registration and grain book have also been processed. I am completely relieved." Jia Dongxu It makes me very excited to talk about it. Finally, I no longer have to support the whole family by myself.

Mo Bin was stunned. Didn't he say that Qin Huai was cheating and cheating but not working? Suddenly I thought it was right. The environment we were in was different. A widow raised three children and a mother-in-law. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't improve much.

The most important thing is that the job is not suitable. As a housewife, she went to a workshop to learn benchwork. The benchwork operations mainly include carving, filing, sawing, scribing, drilling, reaming, tapping and threading, scraping, grinding, etc. Straightening, bending and riveting etc.

Fitter is the oldest metal processing technology in mechanical manufacturing. In this era without CNC machine tools, it all depends on strength. How can she make progress?

Now, by some strange combination of circumstances, she has been assigned to work in a food factory. Currently, she is learning how to make snacks and biscuits. She is very compatible with her as a housewife, and she feels competent, so she is naturally very motivated to learn.

While we were chatting with everyone about the happy event at the home of Grandpa Yi Zhonghai, the picker came back and even kidnapped a jobber, Wang Qiusheng, the security section chief of the No. 1 Beijing Cotton Factory.

"What are you doing here, you bastard? You're not here to eat, are you?" Mo Bin looked disgusted. When he saw this guy carrying a new enamel basin with two bottles of Erguotou and two new towels in it, he knew he wanted to What.

"Go away, I'm here to visit my uncle and aunt. Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo are good friends. My name is Wang Qiusheng. We are both old comrades of Binzi. We are a few years older than him. We transferred to the No. 1 Beijing Cotton Factory a few years ago. Now I am the chief of the security department, and my wife is the deputy director of the labor union. We are so close to each other. I didn’t even know it before. It’s rude of us as juniors.” Wang Qiusheng said to Mo Zhendong and his wife.

"Chief Wang, you're so polite. I couldn't get in touch with Binzi's family before, let alone you guys. Now I accept the door and move around more in the future. You still have to look after the child Yongqiu." Mo Zhendong responded with a smile. .

"Uncle Mo, please don't be so polite. Call me Qiusheng. Even if you have a child, I will treat you as a nephew. Yongqiu is my brother and you will definitely watch." Although Wang Qiusheng often cheats on his brothers, But he has great respect for his elders. After all, he is from Qilu.

"Okay, uncle, I'll call you Qiu Sheng. Come and sit down with us. Let's have a nice drink tonight, and we can warm up the boss's room. It just so happens that you two are traveling together. He is in the security department of the steel rolling mill." Mo Zhendong Said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll definitely drink with you tonight, Uncle Mo. Big brother, we are traveling together, and I'm here to congratulate you on moving into your new house." Wang Qiusheng smiled like Li Kui.

"Thank you, Section Chief Wang, please sit down, please sit down." Mo Yongcheng is the male host, and the leader came with gifts, which is really a great honor.

"What's your name, Section Chief Wang? I'm called Brother Wang. I'm four years older than Binzi. We brothers have to keep our friendship in exchange for lives." Wang Qiusheng patted Mo Yongcheng's shoulder with his bear paw and said loudly.
