all the way
Chapter 94
The rain made Liu Xia rest for two days, and Mao'er was as happy as a New Year's Eve these two days, but the price was that Liu Xia still had to work outside on Sunday.
This time, Liu Xia didn't rely on Liu Hai to prevent him from leaving. Liu Hai only had a limited time to go home a year, and he also missed his parents and elder brother very much.
At [-]:[-] on Monday morning, Liu Xia wanted to get up quietly by himself, go out to buy some fried dough sticks or steamed buns, and then go to work after eating the mung bean soup made by the cat last night, so that the cat could sleep more, but he As soon as it moved, the cat woke up, followed him and climbed up: "Uncle, I will fry an eggplant for you, and then mix a tomato with sugar. The third uncle said that eating this will not cause you to get angry."
Liu Xia was unwilling.
His heart ached enough to leave the cat alone at home, and he was asked to get up early in the morning to cook and cook. Liu Xia was reluctant to say anything, so he simply dragged the cat and lay down again: "It's been a few days. I haven't eaten fried buns, my uncle really wants to eat them, let's sleep for another half an hour, and when we wake up, we can go to the street to eat."
After all, Mao'er is a child, he doesn't think so much, he has always felt that Liu Xia can't go home all day, it's too pitiful, now Liu Xia wants to eat fried buns, of course he won't object.
It was a little cooler in the room in the early morning. The cat rested on Liu Xia's arm and put one leg on Liu Xia's waist. He wanted to sleep for a while, but neither of them could fall asleep. Lying down and talking, planning the best place to put the TV after buying it, and what else needs to be added at home.
The first thing Liu Xia thought of was the refrigerator. It was already mid-August, and the weather would slowly start to get colder. He felt that the cat should continue to drink milk, and a refrigerator was a must.
Then Liu Xia wanted to buy an air conditioner, which was better during the day, but these days when he went to sleep at night, when he watched the hot cat move its legs and feet, trying to find a cooler floor, this idea always came to his mind.
It was so hot in Jiangcheng before, and he had already enjoyed the coolness of the air conditioner in Huang Youguang's dormitory, but he never thought that he would buy it one day. Maybe it was because he subconsciously felt that it was too extravagant, not that he should buy it. enjoy.
But now he wants it very much, especially after Maoer met Ma Qianli's son Ma Pengcheng down there three days ago, and went to Ma Qianli's office with him.
As soon as he got home that night, Mao'er excitedly described to him how cool and comfortable Ma Qianli's office was, and finally Mao'er said to him: "Uncle, you are so afraid of the heat, just wait until I am admitted to university. I also know how to make money like you, I don’t buy anything, I’ll install an air conditioner for our house to keep you cool, and then you won’t be sweating all the time while working.”
Every night when Liu Xia came back to calculate the data, he was drenched in sweat. The cat pointed the electric fan at him every time, but it was useless. It was hot everywhere, and the fan came out with hot air. One thing is very similar, that is, blowing on the fan for a long time will cause headaches, so the cat must turn off the fan before going to bed at night.
Mao'er watched Liu Xia become so hot every day, and there was nothing he could do. He thought every day that it would be great if he could move the cave dwelling at home, but he also knew that the cave dwelling would definitely not be able to be moved, but he now I know, there is such a good thing as an air conditioner in the world, which can also keep the room cool, and the cat immediately misses it.
For the first time, the opinions of the two diverged. For the first time, the cat disagreed with the uncle's opinion, and strongly opposed it: "I am so old, I don't need to drink milk at all, we don't need a refrigerator, we should buy it first." air conditioner."
It was also the first time that Liu Xia firmly refused to follow Mao'er's thoughts: "No, you haven't had breast milk for a day, and your body is not as good as a child who eats its own mother's milk. Drink more milk to make up for it. At least We have to drink, and with the refrigerator, we start saving money to buy an air conditioner."
The cat was almost angry, and quarreled with Liu Xia with a puffy face: "Whoever said that I am not as healthy as other children, grandma said, I am the strongest, just like a stone egg, never sick, little Rui My brother ate mother’s milk until he was two years old, and his health was not as good as mine. He used to take medicine all the time, but I never took it once. Uh huh, uncle, let’s buy an air conditioner first, let’s buy an air conditioner first..."
Mao'er found that the hard ones were not enough, so he changed his tactics in time, and started to be soft, rubbing randomly on Liu Xia's face.
Liu Xia's heart was softened by the little guy's trouble, and he laughed: "Hey, do you think we two look like the two brothers who hunted geese? The geese haven't been hunted down yet, so we just started steaming or braising. Internal strife, when they reacted, the geese flew away, let alone steamed and braised, there was no fart."
"Huh?" Mao'er was taken aback for a moment, rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then laughed: "That's right, we only have less than 100 yuan now, and an air conditioner costs more than 1000 yuan, alas."
The cat stopped being coquettish, and lay down honestly and calculated: "It's all my fault. If I went down to play earlier, met Ma Pengcheng earlier, and went to his father's office to see the air conditioner earlier, I wouldn't have saved all my money. I'll buy you an air conditioner first, now, uncle, if we go to withdraw money now, will the bank give us it?"
Liu Xia was also a little bit regretful when he was told, but what he regretted was that he didn't buy a refrigerator, but knowing what the cat was thinking, he said with certainty: "No, the regular passbook means that you are not allowed to take it before the time. If you take it, you can return it." I have to pay back the interest of others."
The cat was stunned by the punishment of losing money, and pouted at the bank.
Liu Xia hurriedly said: "The sky should be cool soon, one autumn rain and one cold, at most two more rains, it will be autumn. If we buy an air conditioner now, it won't last for a few days, what a shame."
The cat looked out of the window and said, "Well, let's hurry up to the rain. When it rains, you won't have to go to work in the field without being so hot."
At [-]:[-], the two got up on time, washed up briefly, and ran out to have breakfast. After eating, Liu Xia went directly to the construction site by car when he came back.
Mao'er took Liu Wei's first-year English book and read it for nearly an hour, then went to Gudu Road alone to buy groceries, and sent Liu Xia's letter to Gu Zhao by himself.
When he came back, he was about to go upstairs when he heard the horn of a car. Looking back, Liu Chuan's car was parked on the side of the road. The door opened, and a large army came down from inside, Liu Chuan, Liu Hai, Su Xiaohui, Liu Wei and Liu Rui. .
The cat happily called "Brother Rui" and turned back, but was stopped by Liu Hai, who was carrying the mat tube, called "Little Smelly Cat", and swung him around with one arm before letting him go. Come down and let him make out with Liu Rui.
There is no work at this time, and many residents living on the first floor still have their families around the table eating in front of their door, and they all look at the team carrying their handbags on their shoulders.
Liu Hai and Liu Wei each carried a mat tube on their backs, and carried two small chairs in one hand;
Yanagawa is carrying a dining table;
Su Xiaohui was holding a chopping board in one hand, and a big bag of things that looked like clothes in the other;
Liu Rui is carrying a schoolbag, a small broom for sweeping the chopping board in one hand, and two beaters made of the thinnest sorghum stalks in the other.
Regardless of other people's eyes, Mao'er happily said to Liu Rui: "I knew that third uncle would definitely bring you here, and we can go to school together every day again."
Liu Rui came here for the first time, she was a little restrained, she didn't speak, just smiled at the cat.
But Liu Chuan noticed the eyes of the people around him, and he called everyone to go upstairs quickly: "Hurry up and go upstairs, nail up the curtains and put up the curtains, third uncle has to go to work, Liu An, don't be so happy Yes, your third aunt and your little brother Wei are both reporting today, and you will help you put everything back together, so we all have to go."
Going upstairs, Liu Xia's dormitory is at the top, and they have to pass through several doors. Everyone was startled by their team and came out to have a look.
Wan Jianye saw the mat tubes carried by Liu Hai and the others. He heard Liu Xia said that he wanted to nail the mats around the bed, so he took the initiative to help.
The cat is like a commander in chief, guiding everyone to put things where they should be put. Liu Hai and Liu Wei nailed the curtains and mats together, and Wan Jianye helped Liu Chuan smash nails, pull wires, and install curtains.
The curtains are nailed up.
Wan Jianye and the other two neighbors who came to help were very surprised. They didn't expect that sorghum bamboo can make such a beautiful mat.
The local mats made of sorghum stalks have always been considered rough and low-grade. People in the city almost always buy straw mats sold in stores, and this kind of sorghum bamboo mats are used by rural people.
But in fact, this kind of mat is cooler than straw mats when lying on it. The only disadvantage is that because no other items are used as auxiliary connecting materials, the warp and weft threads of the mat are all sorghum strips, so it is inconvenient to fold. It is a cylindrical shape with a relatively large diameter, instead of being folded into a solid column like a straw mat, which is convenient for placement.
Liu Changchun really put his heart into weaving these things for Liu Xia, because the mats cannot be folded. In order to avoid the corners from being broken, he divided the mats into two, one 1.2*2 meters and the other 1.2*1.6 meters, because The bed was too big, partly under the window and the drapery didn't extend to the same width as the bed.
Liu Changchun calculated very carefully. After the two mats are connected, the distance between the small animals at the corner is the same as the distance between the small animals on the same mat.
The cat was very happy to see the lifelike little monkeys and dogs. This time Liu Changchun did not separate the little monkeys from the dogs, but made up one monkey and one dog alternately.
The bed with the curtains looked more comfortable and beautiful. The cat wanted to sleep on the bed right now. He felt that it was too unsightly for my uncle not to see such a beautiful bed for the first time.
After the curtains were installed, Wan Jianye went back to his dormitory. Su Xiaohui quickly wiped and swept the table, and the cat immediately mopped the floor again.
The cloth for the curtains was selected by Liu Xia, Liu Hai, and Maoer together. With his artist's vision, Liu Hai chose this piece of cloth with a sea-blue background and printed with white dots as large as rice grains, and went home with Liu Chuan Time to take it back and ask Xiumei to make curtains. Now I put it on and look at it, it is really beautiful and refreshing.
The room with the curtains is more warm and comfortable. Liu Wei looked around and said happily to the cat: "Baby, that's all right. You don't have to be afraid of anything when you stay with my uncle in the city. Our team No one else can live in such a good house like you, if they see it, they will be envious."
Liu Wei is going to Rongze High School this year, and Su Xiaohui has also confirmed to teach the third year of high school this year. Both of them will report today, and classes will officially start on Wednesday.
Su Xiaohui wasn't too emotional today. She stayed with her two sons for more than a month, leaving them suddenly today made her feel as if a piece of her heart had been cut away, and she felt so uncomfortable that she would die.
But she still cheered up and cleaned up what she thought was inappropriate in Liu Xia's room.
After all, the boy is careless. Although Liu Xia and Mao'er cherish their nest very, very much, the layout of the room is not as reasonable as that of a woman who has done housework like Su Xiaohui. After she ordered the table and cabinet to be adjusted, even the cat Both Er and Liu Hai felt that the room seemed more spacious and comfortable.
Su Xiaohui looked at Liu Xia's room and was very envious. She had always hoped to have such a bathroom. Now they live in a dry toilet. In summer, it not only smells bad, but also has a lot of flies and mosquitoes.
She said to Liu Chuan: "We don't need a few rooms and halls. In the future, I will be satisfied if I can have two rooms as wide as Yao'er's dormitory."
Yanagawa said: "There will definitely be, and it will only be better than this."
Liu Rui was supposed to go to junior high school this year, and there were still ten days before the start of the county middle school. Taking advantage of Su Xiaohui's home, Liu Chuan asked her to persuade Liu Rui to come to the county middle school to go to school.
According to the custom, Liu Kui, as an uncle, can't talk too much with his sister-in-law, so when Su Xiaohui even said that he would take Liu Rui away with him, he could only stand aside and worry; Xiumei cheated and refused to let her follow Su Xiaohui to pull Liu Rui back.
Liu Changqing and Sun Chang'e didn't speak this time, which means they acquiesced to Liu Chuan's behavior. In this way, Liu Rui was brought to Rongze in advance, and Liu Chuan wanted him to adapt to the environment here in advance.
Liu Rui is very excited. He is 11 years old, the age who is most curious about the world and has a little autonomy. How could he really like to stay in the closed and dirty Wangning instead of going to school in the city? After listening to the analysis and teachings of my grandparents and parents, I knew that I would bring troubles to their lives when I came to see Ning and follow my uncle, so I had to try my best to pretend that I didn't care, so as not to make my uncle and third uncle feel guilty.
Now that he can finally come to Rongze to go to school, Liu Rui doesn't mention how happy he is, but he always remembers what Liu Chuan told him on the way, that the uncle hasn't married a wife yet, and the cat has already lived with the uncle. Brother Wei followed the younger uncle again. People saw that the burden of the uncle's family was so heavy that he had to support a large group of nephews, and even the best girls would be scared away. The uncle would just wait to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
So when the cat took his hand and asked him to look at the small kitchen and the bathroom next to each other, he said to him expectantly, "Brother Rui, look at how beautiful this place is, and you don't need to go out to relieve yourself. We will all live here in the future." Here, we are still going to school together", Liu Rui shook his head resolutely: "I don't want to see a building, it's not beautiful, it's always hot, and it's far away from the county, we used to go to Ning every day. Going to school, I finally came to Rongze, I still want to sleep a little longer every morning, I want to live with Brother Xiaowei at my third uncle's place, which is closer to the county than yours."
The cat felt that it was not enough to seduce Liu Rui with material conditions, so he decided to use affection to move people: "Brother Rui, if my uncle goes out to work, I will be the only one left at home. I am not beautiful, but I am boring. In fact, it’s not much farther from the county than the old city, so you can come and live here too, if my uncle doesn’t stay home, someone will keep me company.”
Liu Rui still shook her head: "No, I don't want to run so far. If I run so far every day in winter, if I get cold again and have a cough and cold, I still have to take medicine and get an injection!"
Liu Rui was really in poor health when he was a child, but he has improved a lot in the past two or three years, especially after going to Wangning to go to school. It may be a kind of exercise to run dozens of miles of mountain roads twice a day. He has not regenerated for a year. sick.
But the impression that he was weak since he was a child has taken root in the hearts of the whole family, and the cat is the same. He resorted to various pre-planned tricks to incite Liu Rui, but Liu Rui just couldn't be fooled.
With the cat on his back, Liu Chuan gave Liu Rui a thumbs up.
Mao'er stared at Liu Rui and got angry with him, Liu Wei came over and put his arms around Mao'er's shoulders and said, "Boy, from now on your little brother Rui will go to the same school as you, and you two can see each other every day, and I will come to see you when I have nothing to do. Obedient boy, don't be fooled by Baoer, our uncle will feel distressed when he sees it when he comes back."
After hearing Liu Wei's words, Mao'er became even angrier: "I didn't complete the task my uncle entrusted to me, what if he gets angry?"
Liu Hai came over and hugged the cat by the waist, and slapped his ass twice: "That's it, I'll beat you up for your uncle, that's it."
After tidying up all the houses, it was almost ten o'clock, Liu Chuan didn't dare to delay any longer, so he gave Su Xiaohui an explanation and asked her to take a few people to their house in the old city, and then drove away.
Mao'er, Liu Wei, and Liu Rui haven't seen each other for half a month, and now they don't want to let them go, Su Xiaohui said: "Then you and your sixth uncle will go to the old city with me, and I will cook for you. .”
Maoer looked at the more beautiful home, and was reluctant to leave for a while, but in the end he and Liu Hai followed Su Xiaohui to the old city by tricycle. He really missed Liu Wei and Liu Rui.
Su Xiaohui made them a meal of noodles with fried sauce at noon. Mao'er secretly felt that the food made by Liu Hai was not as good as Liu Hai's. He glanced at Liu Hai a few times, and his heart trembled when he saw Liu Hai.
In the afternoon, I went to school with Liu Wei to register. When I came back, I played with Liu Wei and Liu Rui until after four o'clock. The cat stopped playing and dragged Liu Hai to go home: "I have to go back and cook mung beans for my uncle. Soup, he puts it outside to work in the sun every day, and when he gets angry, he has to drink a big bowl of mung bean soup every day when he comes home."
At dusk, Liu Xia and his car were stopped at the gate by Lao Zhao who was watching the gate. As soon as Liu Xia jumped out of the car, the cat saw him from upstairs. He was answering the phone with two letters in his hand.
Liu Xia laughed when he saw him come in, put the letter back on the table, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head vigorously, and continued to talk on the phone at the same time: "...Third brother, why don't you tell Feng He, Let's go over after dinner, don't let him treat guests, let's just sit on the side of the road to cool off and talk for a while, his... that's okay... I always think it's inappropriate for so many of us to go, brother Fenghe How much does it cost... that's fine, we'll be there in a while."
Mao'er went out with Liu Xia with the letter from Mao Jianyong and Yun Jian in his hand. Liu Xia said, "Your third uncle called, and your Uncle Feng He insisted on treating you to dinner. Please invite all the people in our family who are in Rongze. It’s not enough to go, let’s go, uncle, go up and take a bath, we’ll go.”
The cat said, "I made mung bean soup for you, and let it cool down. Uncle Liu also fried shredded pumpkin with hot peppers, which is very delicious."
Liu Xia returned home, drank mung bean soup and took a good look at his home. Like a cat, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
The curtains and curtains make the home warmer and more comfortable, and he is very satisfied with the dining table and small chairs placed at the end of the bed.
The dining table was made by He Jialiang according to Liu Xia's request. It is 55 cm high and square. The table top is 1.3*1.3 meters, which is much larger than ordinary small dining tables. The main reason is that it is very convenient to have a large table when practicing calligraphy. , it happened that his dormitory was spacious enough, and it seemed very appropriate to put it at the end of the bed facing the door of the small kitchen.
The dining table and four small chairs are made of old elm, painted a traditional vermilion, which is the favorite color of both Liu Xia and Maoer, and it matches the other furniture in the room, but it looks a little new .
As soon as the dining table and small chairs were placed, the smell of fireworks in the room immediately became stronger.
He looked at the small kitchen again. The chopping board was made by He Jialiang himself when he thought they might need it for their new resettlement home. The big willow chopping board was placed on the kitchen table. The length was just right, and the width was about five centimeters more .
Perhaps considering that their kitchen is very small, the two beats Liu Changchun made up for them are also relatively small, so they are really suitable for a small kitchen.
Liu Hai said: "How is it? This really looks like a home, right? You asked me to chop vegetables with a wooden board a few days ago. It doesn't look like that. Now I just wait for the TV to come back, you little The home is really complete."
Liu Xia said, "Well, the only thing missing is a refrigerator and an air conditioner."
Liu Hai almost jumped up: "You, you really have a big heart, Yao'er, you have only been working for a few days, and you dare to think about the refrigerator and air conditioner?"
The cat was not happy anymore, and asked Liu Hai aggressively: "Why can't my uncle want other people who have refrigerators and air conditioners? Hmph, once I grow up and earn money, I will buy the biggest refrigerator and air conditioner for my uncle first. What's the matter?"
Liu Hai is now surrendering without fighting when he meets a cat, he nodded repeatedly: "OK, OK, your uncle should have a refrigerator and an air conditioner, and your uncle should have all the good things. If you have a car, hurry up and earn money to buy it for your uncle, one can’t afford to buy two, is that okay?”
The cat didn't believe it: "Does your family have a car?"
Liu Xia let the two of them chatter there, and went to take a bath by himself.
After taking a shower, the three of them came out together, and Mao Jianyong and Yun Jian's letter was left at home as a gimmick, waiting to read it when they came back from dinner.
Chu Fenghe insisted on treating guests today because Chu Xiaohe was going to report to Gucun Township tomorrow. No matter how Liu Chuan shied away, it was useless, so the seven members of the Liu family, including Su Xiaohui, were all sitting at the bottom of Rongze. In a nice hotel.
Chu Fenghe and his family are very familiar with each other, so the atmosphere is very casual.
Mao'er and Liu Rui only met in the afternoon, but now they put their heads together and talked affectionately when they saw each other. Liu Xia heard Liu Rui say to Mao'er worriedly: "We hope that the quality of teaching in Ningli is poor. If we don’t know anything in the county, how can we get the last place in the exam? I’m always afraid of shame!”
Mao'er said confidently: "It's okay. When my uncle and sixth uncle will be in Rongze High School in the future, they will be the last ones in the exam. Didn't they all get into the university in the end? Our fifth uncle didn't even have Rongze I’ve been here, and I’ve been admitted to the military academy, as long as we both study hard and don’t pretend to be foolish, we’ll definitely be like my uncle and get better and better.”
Liu Xia and Chu Xiaohe were chatting and laughing, stretched out their hands to embrace the cat, and rubbed his small face twice with their big hands.
The cat turned back and smiled at him flatteredly.
Liu Xia let him go, and rubbed Liu Rui's head again: "Silly boy, why can't you be the last one in the exam, the cat said yes, it's almost fine at first, as long as you study hard, you'll be the last one in the university exam one time."
Chu Fenghe missed Liu Ling very much. Although Liu Ling would write him letters from time to time, he still kept asking Liu Hai about Liu Ling.
Chu Xiaohe expressed the utmost sympathy for Liu Xia's return to Rongze. Although it is a provincial unit, it cannot change the fact that he returned to Rongze, a small town. Chu Xiaohe has always felt that Liu Xia should not stay in Rongze People in such a small place.
Chu Xiaohe has some regrets about being assigned to the village, but he doesn't complain much. A school as famous as Liu Xia has already returned to Rongze. He really thinks that he can go to the ancient village. It was more than 20 miles farther than Rongze, which made him feel at ease.
Liu Xia asked him: "When you went back to farm, your uncle didn't think of any nonsense ideas, so it's hard for you two?"
Chu Fenghe took it and said: "It's not too difficult, why don't I ask Xiaohe to look back at Ningli? It's our hometown anyway, and Xiaohe has an acquaintance and friend who can take care of him if something happens there.
But before Xiaohe started to work, the old man told me that we were born and raised by him, and that Xiaohe has become a commodity grain now, and he will have to pay him monthly pension in the future.Think about it, if Xiao He goes back, can he let Xiao He live a peaceful life one day?
Now that Xiaohe has become a commodity grain, I am the only one left in my family. I have directly contracted to one member of my production team. From now on, I only need to go back once a year. I. "
Liu Xia felt quite surprised: "Did you contract the land to someone else?"
Liu Chuan said: "Yao'er, you have not been at home these past few years, and you don't know the situation in our rural areas. In the past two years, many people in the northern villages have done this. Home is close, easy to manage miles.
The Yellow River beaches in Gucun, Gudukou, and Shangwu townships are all occupied now. One mu of land costs 20 yuan a year. Some families contract dozens of mu to grow cotton and apples. They have made a lot of money. Here we are Last year, some people began to contract other people's land, and they also wanted to learn from those people in the north to plant fruit trees. "
Chu Fenghe said: "Didn't we always ask our neighbors for help in building houses, and now we contract them to others? There is nothing strange about the contracted land. The days are better and people have money, so I want to save worry and effort." .
Hey, by the way, Liu Xia, what exactly is your hydrology team doing?The yard is so big, the house is more beautiful than our unit in Rongze, and the people who come out there are more foreign than the other. They all speak Mandarin, and I don’t see them working all day long. You feel at ease, where are you from? Mile money?
My boss said that when the power plant was built, the measurement was done by your unit. Is it true or not?Didn't you just measure the Yellow River with a light tube, what about groundwater? "
Liu Xia was surprised this time: "Comfortable? Do you see someone who doesn't work all day and still feel comfortable? When you called my third brother in the afternoon, I was still running back and forth in the field to collect data, not working Still want to make money, how can there be such a good thing?
The measurement of the Yellow River and groundwater you mentioned is only a small aspect of my unit’s measurement. Let’s put it this way, as long as it is a large building, it needs to be measured in advance, as well as road construction, mines, reservoirs, and map drawing. . "
Chu Fenghe said: "Oh, it's like our Rongze has multiple units preparing to build a family building, so will you do the front mile survey?"
Liu Chuan laughed: "Yao'er, you don't know yet, Fenghe not only builds small bungalows for private individuals, he is now contracting large projects with the original construction company in our county, maybe he will work with your unit in the future It's a business relationship."
Liu Xia said: "So that's how it is. Brother Fenghe, you are about to become a big boss? Is it because you are a contractor and need to do measurements on the family building?"
Chu Fenghe said: "Well, I'm just running errands for others, and I'm still a thousand miles away from the boss. I just ask, if you do it too, with your acquaintance, maybe you can give me a little bit cheaper. "
A group of people chattered and said that they were ready to leave after ten o'clock, and Liu Xia came out early, intending to settle the bill, but just as he took out his wallet, Chu Fenghe chased him out and pushed him aside: "What? What are you, Liu Xia? Look down on you, Brother Fenghe? Do you think I can’t afford to treat you to this meal?”
As he spoke, he took out his wallet, revealing a wad of thick money: "The boss just gave me a dividend at noon today, and I gave him all my money a few days ago. Ask Liu Chuan to do something and only give him 20 yuan.
I only dared to invite you out for dinner today when I got the money. Don’t argue with me. If I don’t invite your family members once, I will be guilty for the rest of my life. "
Seeing Chu Fenghe and Chu Xiaohe leave on bicycles, Liu Chuan said to Liu Xia: "Yaoer, don't feel sorry, if Fenghe is not allowed to invite this meal, I will never feel at ease.
The two brothers had lost their mother since they were young, and met such a father again. No one cared about them, and Feng He is a very affectionate person. If you help them a little, Feng He will remember it in your heart. Give him a chance to repay, and he will feel that he owes more and more, and the feeling of being in debt is not good.
And if you don't let Feng He treat him to this meal today, he will think that we despise him, if just having a meal can make him feel at ease, it's actually not bad, what do you think, Yaoer? "
On the way home, Liu Xia and Liu Hai were walking behind, and Mao Er was running around in front of him. Liu Xia was very pleased to see him so happy.
The cat has also lost his mother since he was a child, but the cat still has him, and there are people who love him, so his kitten will never have to be grateful for a little help from the outside, and feel uneasy .
He can be carefree, he can be happy.
This time, Liu Xia didn't rely on Liu Hai to prevent him from leaving. Liu Hai only had a limited time to go home a year, and he also missed his parents and elder brother very much.
At [-]:[-] on Monday morning, Liu Xia wanted to get up quietly by himself, go out to buy some fried dough sticks or steamed buns, and then go to work after eating the mung bean soup made by the cat last night, so that the cat could sleep more, but he As soon as it moved, the cat woke up, followed him and climbed up: "Uncle, I will fry an eggplant for you, and then mix a tomato with sugar. The third uncle said that eating this will not cause you to get angry."
Liu Xia was unwilling.
His heart ached enough to leave the cat alone at home, and he was asked to get up early in the morning to cook and cook. Liu Xia was reluctant to say anything, so he simply dragged the cat and lay down again: "It's been a few days. I haven't eaten fried buns, my uncle really wants to eat them, let's sleep for another half an hour, and when we wake up, we can go to the street to eat."
After all, Mao'er is a child, he doesn't think so much, he has always felt that Liu Xia can't go home all day, it's too pitiful, now Liu Xia wants to eat fried buns, of course he won't object.
It was a little cooler in the room in the early morning. The cat rested on Liu Xia's arm and put one leg on Liu Xia's waist. He wanted to sleep for a while, but neither of them could fall asleep. Lying down and talking, planning the best place to put the TV after buying it, and what else needs to be added at home.
The first thing Liu Xia thought of was the refrigerator. It was already mid-August, and the weather would slowly start to get colder. He felt that the cat should continue to drink milk, and a refrigerator was a must.
Then Liu Xia wanted to buy an air conditioner, which was better during the day, but these days when he went to sleep at night, when he watched the hot cat move its legs and feet, trying to find a cooler floor, this idea always came to his mind.
It was so hot in Jiangcheng before, and he had already enjoyed the coolness of the air conditioner in Huang Youguang's dormitory, but he never thought that he would buy it one day. Maybe it was because he subconsciously felt that it was too extravagant, not that he should buy it. enjoy.
But now he wants it very much, especially after Maoer met Ma Qianli's son Ma Pengcheng down there three days ago, and went to Ma Qianli's office with him.
As soon as he got home that night, Mao'er excitedly described to him how cool and comfortable Ma Qianli's office was, and finally Mao'er said to him: "Uncle, you are so afraid of the heat, just wait until I am admitted to university. I also know how to make money like you, I don’t buy anything, I’ll install an air conditioner for our house to keep you cool, and then you won’t be sweating all the time while working.”
Every night when Liu Xia came back to calculate the data, he was drenched in sweat. The cat pointed the electric fan at him every time, but it was useless. It was hot everywhere, and the fan came out with hot air. One thing is very similar, that is, blowing on the fan for a long time will cause headaches, so the cat must turn off the fan before going to bed at night.
Mao'er watched Liu Xia become so hot every day, and there was nothing he could do. He thought every day that it would be great if he could move the cave dwelling at home, but he also knew that the cave dwelling would definitely not be able to be moved, but he now I know, there is such a good thing as an air conditioner in the world, which can also keep the room cool, and the cat immediately misses it.
For the first time, the opinions of the two diverged. For the first time, the cat disagreed with the uncle's opinion, and strongly opposed it: "I am so old, I don't need to drink milk at all, we don't need a refrigerator, we should buy it first." air conditioner."
It was also the first time that Liu Xia firmly refused to follow Mao'er's thoughts: "No, you haven't had breast milk for a day, and your body is not as good as a child who eats its own mother's milk. Drink more milk to make up for it. At least We have to drink, and with the refrigerator, we start saving money to buy an air conditioner."
The cat was almost angry, and quarreled with Liu Xia with a puffy face: "Whoever said that I am not as healthy as other children, grandma said, I am the strongest, just like a stone egg, never sick, little Rui My brother ate mother’s milk until he was two years old, and his health was not as good as mine. He used to take medicine all the time, but I never took it once. Uh huh, uncle, let’s buy an air conditioner first, let’s buy an air conditioner first..."
Mao'er found that the hard ones were not enough, so he changed his tactics in time, and started to be soft, rubbing randomly on Liu Xia's face.
Liu Xia's heart was softened by the little guy's trouble, and he laughed: "Hey, do you think we two look like the two brothers who hunted geese? The geese haven't been hunted down yet, so we just started steaming or braising. Internal strife, when they reacted, the geese flew away, let alone steamed and braised, there was no fart."
"Huh?" Mao'er was taken aback for a moment, rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then laughed: "That's right, we only have less than 100 yuan now, and an air conditioner costs more than 1000 yuan, alas."
The cat stopped being coquettish, and lay down honestly and calculated: "It's all my fault. If I went down to play earlier, met Ma Pengcheng earlier, and went to his father's office to see the air conditioner earlier, I wouldn't have saved all my money. I'll buy you an air conditioner first, now, uncle, if we go to withdraw money now, will the bank give us it?"
Liu Xia was also a little bit regretful when he was told, but what he regretted was that he didn't buy a refrigerator, but knowing what the cat was thinking, he said with certainty: "No, the regular passbook means that you are not allowed to take it before the time. If you take it, you can return it." I have to pay back the interest of others."
The cat was stunned by the punishment of losing money, and pouted at the bank.
Liu Xia hurriedly said: "The sky should be cool soon, one autumn rain and one cold, at most two more rains, it will be autumn. If we buy an air conditioner now, it won't last for a few days, what a shame."
The cat looked out of the window and said, "Well, let's hurry up to the rain. When it rains, you won't have to go to work in the field without being so hot."
At [-]:[-], the two got up on time, washed up briefly, and ran out to have breakfast. After eating, Liu Xia went directly to the construction site by car when he came back.
Mao'er took Liu Wei's first-year English book and read it for nearly an hour, then went to Gudu Road alone to buy groceries, and sent Liu Xia's letter to Gu Zhao by himself.
When he came back, he was about to go upstairs when he heard the horn of a car. Looking back, Liu Chuan's car was parked on the side of the road. The door opened, and a large army came down from inside, Liu Chuan, Liu Hai, Su Xiaohui, Liu Wei and Liu Rui. .
The cat happily called "Brother Rui" and turned back, but was stopped by Liu Hai, who was carrying the mat tube, called "Little Smelly Cat", and swung him around with one arm before letting him go. Come down and let him make out with Liu Rui.
There is no work at this time, and many residents living on the first floor still have their families around the table eating in front of their door, and they all look at the team carrying their handbags on their shoulders.
Liu Hai and Liu Wei each carried a mat tube on their backs, and carried two small chairs in one hand;
Yanagawa is carrying a dining table;
Su Xiaohui was holding a chopping board in one hand, and a big bag of things that looked like clothes in the other;
Liu Rui is carrying a schoolbag, a small broom for sweeping the chopping board in one hand, and two beaters made of the thinnest sorghum stalks in the other.
Regardless of other people's eyes, Mao'er happily said to Liu Rui: "I knew that third uncle would definitely bring you here, and we can go to school together every day again."
Liu Rui came here for the first time, she was a little restrained, she didn't speak, just smiled at the cat.
But Liu Chuan noticed the eyes of the people around him, and he called everyone to go upstairs quickly: "Hurry up and go upstairs, nail up the curtains and put up the curtains, third uncle has to go to work, Liu An, don't be so happy Yes, your third aunt and your little brother Wei are both reporting today, and you will help you put everything back together, so we all have to go."
Going upstairs, Liu Xia's dormitory is at the top, and they have to pass through several doors. Everyone was startled by their team and came out to have a look.
Wan Jianye saw the mat tubes carried by Liu Hai and the others. He heard Liu Xia said that he wanted to nail the mats around the bed, so he took the initiative to help.
The cat is like a commander in chief, guiding everyone to put things where they should be put. Liu Hai and Liu Wei nailed the curtains and mats together, and Wan Jianye helped Liu Chuan smash nails, pull wires, and install curtains.
The curtains are nailed up.
Wan Jianye and the other two neighbors who came to help were very surprised. They didn't expect that sorghum bamboo can make such a beautiful mat.
The local mats made of sorghum stalks have always been considered rough and low-grade. People in the city almost always buy straw mats sold in stores, and this kind of sorghum bamboo mats are used by rural people.
But in fact, this kind of mat is cooler than straw mats when lying on it. The only disadvantage is that because no other items are used as auxiliary connecting materials, the warp and weft threads of the mat are all sorghum strips, so it is inconvenient to fold. It is a cylindrical shape with a relatively large diameter, instead of being folded into a solid column like a straw mat, which is convenient for placement.
Liu Changchun really put his heart into weaving these things for Liu Xia, because the mats cannot be folded. In order to avoid the corners from being broken, he divided the mats into two, one 1.2*2 meters and the other 1.2*1.6 meters, because The bed was too big, partly under the window and the drapery didn't extend to the same width as the bed.
Liu Changchun calculated very carefully. After the two mats are connected, the distance between the small animals at the corner is the same as the distance between the small animals on the same mat.
The cat was very happy to see the lifelike little monkeys and dogs. This time Liu Changchun did not separate the little monkeys from the dogs, but made up one monkey and one dog alternately.
The bed with the curtains looked more comfortable and beautiful. The cat wanted to sleep on the bed right now. He felt that it was too unsightly for my uncle not to see such a beautiful bed for the first time.
After the curtains were installed, Wan Jianye went back to his dormitory. Su Xiaohui quickly wiped and swept the table, and the cat immediately mopped the floor again.
The cloth for the curtains was selected by Liu Xia, Liu Hai, and Maoer together. With his artist's vision, Liu Hai chose this piece of cloth with a sea-blue background and printed with white dots as large as rice grains, and went home with Liu Chuan Time to take it back and ask Xiumei to make curtains. Now I put it on and look at it, it is really beautiful and refreshing.
The room with the curtains is more warm and comfortable. Liu Wei looked around and said happily to the cat: "Baby, that's all right. You don't have to be afraid of anything when you stay with my uncle in the city. Our team No one else can live in such a good house like you, if they see it, they will be envious."
Liu Wei is going to Rongze High School this year, and Su Xiaohui has also confirmed to teach the third year of high school this year. Both of them will report today, and classes will officially start on Wednesday.
Su Xiaohui wasn't too emotional today. She stayed with her two sons for more than a month, leaving them suddenly today made her feel as if a piece of her heart had been cut away, and she felt so uncomfortable that she would die.
But she still cheered up and cleaned up what she thought was inappropriate in Liu Xia's room.
After all, the boy is careless. Although Liu Xia and Mao'er cherish their nest very, very much, the layout of the room is not as reasonable as that of a woman who has done housework like Su Xiaohui. After she ordered the table and cabinet to be adjusted, even the cat Both Er and Liu Hai felt that the room seemed more spacious and comfortable.
Su Xiaohui looked at Liu Xia's room and was very envious. She had always hoped to have such a bathroom. Now they live in a dry toilet. In summer, it not only smells bad, but also has a lot of flies and mosquitoes.
She said to Liu Chuan: "We don't need a few rooms and halls. In the future, I will be satisfied if I can have two rooms as wide as Yao'er's dormitory."
Yanagawa said: "There will definitely be, and it will only be better than this."
Liu Rui was supposed to go to junior high school this year, and there were still ten days before the start of the county middle school. Taking advantage of Su Xiaohui's home, Liu Chuan asked her to persuade Liu Rui to come to the county middle school to go to school.
According to the custom, Liu Kui, as an uncle, can't talk too much with his sister-in-law, so when Su Xiaohui even said that he would take Liu Rui away with him, he could only stand aside and worry; Xiumei cheated and refused to let her follow Su Xiaohui to pull Liu Rui back.
Liu Changqing and Sun Chang'e didn't speak this time, which means they acquiesced to Liu Chuan's behavior. In this way, Liu Rui was brought to Rongze in advance, and Liu Chuan wanted him to adapt to the environment here in advance.
Liu Rui is very excited. He is 11 years old, the age who is most curious about the world and has a little autonomy. How could he really like to stay in the closed and dirty Wangning instead of going to school in the city? After listening to the analysis and teachings of my grandparents and parents, I knew that I would bring troubles to their lives when I came to see Ning and follow my uncle, so I had to try my best to pretend that I didn't care, so as not to make my uncle and third uncle feel guilty.
Now that he can finally come to Rongze to go to school, Liu Rui doesn't mention how happy he is, but he always remembers what Liu Chuan told him on the way, that the uncle hasn't married a wife yet, and the cat has already lived with the uncle. Brother Wei followed the younger uncle again. People saw that the burden of the uncle's family was so heavy that he had to support a large group of nephews, and even the best girls would be scared away. The uncle would just wait to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
So when the cat took his hand and asked him to look at the small kitchen and the bathroom next to each other, he said to him expectantly, "Brother Rui, look at how beautiful this place is, and you don't need to go out to relieve yourself. We will all live here in the future." Here, we are still going to school together", Liu Rui shook his head resolutely: "I don't want to see a building, it's not beautiful, it's always hot, and it's far away from the county, we used to go to Ning every day. Going to school, I finally came to Rongze, I still want to sleep a little longer every morning, I want to live with Brother Xiaowei at my third uncle's place, which is closer to the county than yours."
The cat felt that it was not enough to seduce Liu Rui with material conditions, so he decided to use affection to move people: "Brother Rui, if my uncle goes out to work, I will be the only one left at home. I am not beautiful, but I am boring. In fact, it’s not much farther from the county than the old city, so you can come and live here too, if my uncle doesn’t stay home, someone will keep me company.”
Liu Rui still shook her head: "No, I don't want to run so far. If I run so far every day in winter, if I get cold again and have a cough and cold, I still have to take medicine and get an injection!"
Liu Rui was really in poor health when he was a child, but he has improved a lot in the past two or three years, especially after going to Wangning to go to school. It may be a kind of exercise to run dozens of miles of mountain roads twice a day. He has not regenerated for a year. sick.
But the impression that he was weak since he was a child has taken root in the hearts of the whole family, and the cat is the same. He resorted to various pre-planned tricks to incite Liu Rui, but Liu Rui just couldn't be fooled.
With the cat on his back, Liu Chuan gave Liu Rui a thumbs up.
Mao'er stared at Liu Rui and got angry with him, Liu Wei came over and put his arms around Mao'er's shoulders and said, "Boy, from now on your little brother Rui will go to the same school as you, and you two can see each other every day, and I will come to see you when I have nothing to do. Obedient boy, don't be fooled by Baoer, our uncle will feel distressed when he sees it when he comes back."
After hearing Liu Wei's words, Mao'er became even angrier: "I didn't complete the task my uncle entrusted to me, what if he gets angry?"
Liu Hai came over and hugged the cat by the waist, and slapped his ass twice: "That's it, I'll beat you up for your uncle, that's it."
After tidying up all the houses, it was almost ten o'clock, Liu Chuan didn't dare to delay any longer, so he gave Su Xiaohui an explanation and asked her to take a few people to their house in the old city, and then drove away.
Mao'er, Liu Wei, and Liu Rui haven't seen each other for half a month, and now they don't want to let them go, Su Xiaohui said: "Then you and your sixth uncle will go to the old city with me, and I will cook for you. .”
Maoer looked at the more beautiful home, and was reluctant to leave for a while, but in the end he and Liu Hai followed Su Xiaohui to the old city by tricycle. He really missed Liu Wei and Liu Rui.
Su Xiaohui made them a meal of noodles with fried sauce at noon. Mao'er secretly felt that the food made by Liu Hai was not as good as Liu Hai's. He glanced at Liu Hai a few times, and his heart trembled when he saw Liu Hai.
In the afternoon, I went to school with Liu Wei to register. When I came back, I played with Liu Wei and Liu Rui until after four o'clock. The cat stopped playing and dragged Liu Hai to go home: "I have to go back and cook mung beans for my uncle. Soup, he puts it outside to work in the sun every day, and when he gets angry, he has to drink a big bowl of mung bean soup every day when he comes home."
At dusk, Liu Xia and his car were stopped at the gate by Lao Zhao who was watching the gate. As soon as Liu Xia jumped out of the car, the cat saw him from upstairs. He was answering the phone with two letters in his hand.
Liu Xia laughed when he saw him come in, put the letter back on the table, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head vigorously, and continued to talk on the phone at the same time: "...Third brother, why don't you tell Feng He, Let's go over after dinner, don't let him treat guests, let's just sit on the side of the road to cool off and talk for a while, his... that's okay... I always think it's inappropriate for so many of us to go, brother Fenghe How much does it cost... that's fine, we'll be there in a while."
Mao'er went out with Liu Xia with the letter from Mao Jianyong and Yun Jian in his hand. Liu Xia said, "Your third uncle called, and your Uncle Feng He insisted on treating you to dinner. Please invite all the people in our family who are in Rongze. It’s not enough to go, let’s go, uncle, go up and take a bath, we’ll go.”
The cat said, "I made mung bean soup for you, and let it cool down. Uncle Liu also fried shredded pumpkin with hot peppers, which is very delicious."
Liu Xia returned home, drank mung bean soup and took a good look at his home. Like a cat, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
The curtains and curtains make the home warmer and more comfortable, and he is very satisfied with the dining table and small chairs placed at the end of the bed.
The dining table was made by He Jialiang according to Liu Xia's request. It is 55 cm high and square. The table top is 1.3*1.3 meters, which is much larger than ordinary small dining tables. The main reason is that it is very convenient to have a large table when practicing calligraphy. , it happened that his dormitory was spacious enough, and it seemed very appropriate to put it at the end of the bed facing the door of the small kitchen.
The dining table and four small chairs are made of old elm, painted a traditional vermilion, which is the favorite color of both Liu Xia and Maoer, and it matches the other furniture in the room, but it looks a little new .
As soon as the dining table and small chairs were placed, the smell of fireworks in the room immediately became stronger.
He looked at the small kitchen again. The chopping board was made by He Jialiang himself when he thought they might need it for their new resettlement home. The big willow chopping board was placed on the kitchen table. The length was just right, and the width was about five centimeters more .
Perhaps considering that their kitchen is very small, the two beats Liu Changchun made up for them are also relatively small, so they are really suitable for a small kitchen.
Liu Hai said: "How is it? This really looks like a home, right? You asked me to chop vegetables with a wooden board a few days ago. It doesn't look like that. Now I just wait for the TV to come back, you little The home is really complete."
Liu Xia said, "Well, the only thing missing is a refrigerator and an air conditioner."
Liu Hai almost jumped up: "You, you really have a big heart, Yao'er, you have only been working for a few days, and you dare to think about the refrigerator and air conditioner?"
The cat was not happy anymore, and asked Liu Hai aggressively: "Why can't my uncle want other people who have refrigerators and air conditioners? Hmph, once I grow up and earn money, I will buy the biggest refrigerator and air conditioner for my uncle first. What's the matter?"
Liu Hai is now surrendering without fighting when he meets a cat, he nodded repeatedly: "OK, OK, your uncle should have a refrigerator and an air conditioner, and your uncle should have all the good things. If you have a car, hurry up and earn money to buy it for your uncle, one can’t afford to buy two, is that okay?”
The cat didn't believe it: "Does your family have a car?"
Liu Xia let the two of them chatter there, and went to take a bath by himself.
After taking a shower, the three of them came out together, and Mao Jianyong and Yun Jian's letter was left at home as a gimmick, waiting to read it when they came back from dinner.
Chu Fenghe insisted on treating guests today because Chu Xiaohe was going to report to Gucun Township tomorrow. No matter how Liu Chuan shied away, it was useless, so the seven members of the Liu family, including Su Xiaohui, were all sitting at the bottom of Rongze. In a nice hotel.
Chu Fenghe and his family are very familiar with each other, so the atmosphere is very casual.
Mao'er and Liu Rui only met in the afternoon, but now they put their heads together and talked affectionately when they saw each other. Liu Xia heard Liu Rui say to Mao'er worriedly: "We hope that the quality of teaching in Ningli is poor. If we don’t know anything in the county, how can we get the last place in the exam? I’m always afraid of shame!”
Mao'er said confidently: "It's okay. When my uncle and sixth uncle will be in Rongze High School in the future, they will be the last ones in the exam. Didn't they all get into the university in the end? Our fifth uncle didn't even have Rongze I’ve been here, and I’ve been admitted to the military academy, as long as we both study hard and don’t pretend to be foolish, we’ll definitely be like my uncle and get better and better.”
Liu Xia and Chu Xiaohe were chatting and laughing, stretched out their hands to embrace the cat, and rubbed his small face twice with their big hands.
The cat turned back and smiled at him flatteredly.
Liu Xia let him go, and rubbed Liu Rui's head again: "Silly boy, why can't you be the last one in the exam, the cat said yes, it's almost fine at first, as long as you study hard, you'll be the last one in the university exam one time."
Chu Fenghe missed Liu Ling very much. Although Liu Ling would write him letters from time to time, he still kept asking Liu Hai about Liu Ling.
Chu Xiaohe expressed the utmost sympathy for Liu Xia's return to Rongze. Although it is a provincial unit, it cannot change the fact that he returned to Rongze, a small town. Chu Xiaohe has always felt that Liu Xia should not stay in Rongze People in such a small place.
Chu Xiaohe has some regrets about being assigned to the village, but he doesn't complain much. A school as famous as Liu Xia has already returned to Rongze. He really thinks that he can go to the ancient village. It was more than 20 miles farther than Rongze, which made him feel at ease.
Liu Xia asked him: "When you went back to farm, your uncle didn't think of any nonsense ideas, so it's hard for you two?"
Chu Fenghe took it and said: "It's not too difficult, why don't I ask Xiaohe to look back at Ningli? It's our hometown anyway, and Xiaohe has an acquaintance and friend who can take care of him if something happens there.
But before Xiaohe started to work, the old man told me that we were born and raised by him, and that Xiaohe has become a commodity grain now, and he will have to pay him monthly pension in the future.Think about it, if Xiao He goes back, can he let Xiao He live a peaceful life one day?
Now that Xiaohe has become a commodity grain, I am the only one left in my family. I have directly contracted to one member of my production team. From now on, I only need to go back once a year. I. "
Liu Xia felt quite surprised: "Did you contract the land to someone else?"
Liu Chuan said: "Yao'er, you have not been at home these past few years, and you don't know the situation in our rural areas. In the past two years, many people in the northern villages have done this. Home is close, easy to manage miles.
The Yellow River beaches in Gucun, Gudukou, and Shangwu townships are all occupied now. One mu of land costs 20 yuan a year. Some families contract dozens of mu to grow cotton and apples. They have made a lot of money. Here we are Last year, some people began to contract other people's land, and they also wanted to learn from those people in the north to plant fruit trees. "
Chu Fenghe said: "Didn't we always ask our neighbors for help in building houses, and now we contract them to others? There is nothing strange about the contracted land. The days are better and people have money, so I want to save worry and effort." .
Hey, by the way, Liu Xia, what exactly is your hydrology team doing?The yard is so big, the house is more beautiful than our unit in Rongze, and the people who come out there are more foreign than the other. They all speak Mandarin, and I don’t see them working all day long. You feel at ease, where are you from? Mile money?
My boss said that when the power plant was built, the measurement was done by your unit. Is it true or not?Didn't you just measure the Yellow River with a light tube, what about groundwater? "
Liu Xia was surprised this time: "Comfortable? Do you see someone who doesn't work all day and still feel comfortable? When you called my third brother in the afternoon, I was still running back and forth in the field to collect data, not working Still want to make money, how can there be such a good thing?
The measurement of the Yellow River and groundwater you mentioned is only a small aspect of my unit’s measurement. Let’s put it this way, as long as it is a large building, it needs to be measured in advance, as well as road construction, mines, reservoirs, and map drawing. . "
Chu Fenghe said: "Oh, it's like our Rongze has multiple units preparing to build a family building, so will you do the front mile survey?"
Liu Chuan laughed: "Yao'er, you don't know yet, Fenghe not only builds small bungalows for private individuals, he is now contracting large projects with the original construction company in our county, maybe he will work with your unit in the future It's a business relationship."
Liu Xia said: "So that's how it is. Brother Fenghe, you are about to become a big boss? Is it because you are a contractor and need to do measurements on the family building?"
Chu Fenghe said: "Well, I'm just running errands for others, and I'm still a thousand miles away from the boss. I just ask, if you do it too, with your acquaintance, maybe you can give me a little bit cheaper. "
A group of people chattered and said that they were ready to leave after ten o'clock, and Liu Xia came out early, intending to settle the bill, but just as he took out his wallet, Chu Fenghe chased him out and pushed him aside: "What? What are you, Liu Xia? Look down on you, Brother Fenghe? Do you think I can’t afford to treat you to this meal?”
As he spoke, he took out his wallet, revealing a wad of thick money: "The boss just gave me a dividend at noon today, and I gave him all my money a few days ago. Ask Liu Chuan to do something and only give him 20 yuan.
I only dared to invite you out for dinner today when I got the money. Don’t argue with me. If I don’t invite your family members once, I will be guilty for the rest of my life. "
Seeing Chu Fenghe and Chu Xiaohe leave on bicycles, Liu Chuan said to Liu Xia: "Yaoer, don't feel sorry, if Fenghe is not allowed to invite this meal, I will never feel at ease.
The two brothers had lost their mother since they were young, and met such a father again. No one cared about them, and Feng He is a very affectionate person. If you help them a little, Feng He will remember it in your heart. Give him a chance to repay, and he will feel that he owes more and more, and the feeling of being in debt is not good.
And if you don't let Feng He treat him to this meal today, he will think that we despise him, if just having a meal can make him feel at ease, it's actually not bad, what do you think, Yaoer? "
On the way home, Liu Xia and Liu Hai were walking behind, and Mao Er was running around in front of him. Liu Xia was very pleased to see him so happy.
The cat has also lost his mother since he was a child, but the cat still has him, and there are people who love him, so his kitten will never have to be grateful for a little help from the outside, and feel uneasy .
He can be carefree, he can be happy.
