On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the taste of the new year becomes thicker.

Xu Zhonglei doesn't know what the local customs are on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, but hygiene is always the most important thing of the year.Xu Zhonglei divided the tasks well. Cleaning the curtains, tablecloths, rags, quilts, bed sheets, and clothes were all Cheng Yuming's work. Xu Zhonglei was responsible for cleaning the kitchen and tidying up the room.

The first thing Xu Zhonglei did was to go down to the basement to tidy up. In the past year, Xu Zhonglei bought a lot of odds and ends. In addition to the rice, flour, grain, oil, seasoning, toilet paper generator that can be piled up into mountains, there are also many odds and ends. Broken things, teacups, steel basins, scalpels, plastic buckets, baby warmers... things that Fengmaniu didn't want to touch were all packed in express cartons and piled up together. Xu Zhonglei couldn't figure out what he bought.

Daily necessities: a large box of manual razor blades, nail clippers, ten pairs of scissors, three sets of kitchen utensils, all kinds of toilet paper, and odds and ends of facial cleanser and soap, all of which Xu Zhonglei put into the big box. Box toilet paper collection area.

Food: one snakeskin bag of dried kelp, two woven bags of dried seaweed, several hundred catties of dried fruit, seafood dried shrimp, various convenience foods including instant noodles...

"Brother, your cousin is here."

There are always some unpleasant voices that break the beautiful life of counting money.

Xu Zhonglei is still a little confused, he understands the truth, who is his cousin?

As soon as the people locked outside the iron gate saw Xu Zhonglei coming over to open the door, they immediately waved to him. I understand, my cousin is Xu Tianci.

"Brother Shitou, look, this person in your house shuts the door and won't let us in." Xu Tianci was covered with a plastic sheet, with rain on his face, and looked shivering from the cold, but he filed a complaint first.

Xu Zhonglei didn’t remember the names of the remaining three people, except for an old oily man named Xu Hanwen, who helped build Xu Zhonglei’s house and disappeared after working for a few days, and Xu Zhonglei didn’t have much impression of him.

The four of them were wearing patchwork clothes. Xu Tianci's sweater was obviously a lady's high collar, which was tightly wrapped around his body; Xu Hanwen's dirty coat was vaguely a green color that was many sizes too large.

"Open the door! Stone! It's freezing outside, ask for a cup of hot water."

"It's Chinese New Year, congratulations."

"Brother, you are not by the river, I haven't seen you for a long time, I will come to Kangkang you."

Xu Zhonglei was not sure what kind of medicine these people were selling in the gourd, thinking that the soldiers would come to block them, and the water would be covered by soil, so he opened the big iron gate.

As soon as they entered the big iron gate, four dirty old men started running around in the yard.

"Brother, this place is great!" The person who spoke, with his hands behind his back, made a leadership inspection form, walked back and forth under the eaves a few times, and made comments.

"That's right. Is there a vegetable field in front? Are you planning to grow vegetables inside?" The man flipped over the plastic film covering it, glanced inside, turned around and came back, "The vegetable field is going to be built? None of us have it. live in a house."

Cheng Yuming alone delivered a cup of boiling water in a disposable plastic cup, and closed the door of the house with a "bang".Xu Zhonglei and Xu Tianci chatted: "Have you finished building your own house? You can just build a vegetable field yourself when you have time."

Xu Tianci lowered his head and took a sip of water, but didn't speak.

"What is this?" Xu Hanwen's decoration worker was pulling the asbestos net on the outer wall vigorously. Xu Zhonglei had a headache and stopped him quickly, "The decoration materials in Guang'an are beautiful."

"Gray doesn't work, this color is not good." Xu Hanwen withdrew his hand.

"What are you doing standing outside? Stone, don't let the brothers go in to enjoy the fire and eat some melon seeds and peanuts? It's Chinese New Year, let's chat and talk." The old man who lifted his feet and looked in through the glass asked .

Xu Zhonglei said in his heart: I will let you in if I am crazy!

"Your house is big, only two people live in it? I remember that the basement is also very big." Xu Hanwen pointed to the townhouse and said, "It's all empty there, and I can see that the whole village can live in it."

"There are only 8 rooms, which is still not enough to live in. Who will live in the village? Haha." Xu Zhonglei smiled and pushed Tai Chi, kicking the ball back.

"Adding the basement is enough to live in. You live in the master bedroom. You can live in it if you change other places. Your place is good. Facing north and south, the sun is big, and the place is also big. I think it is more busy than they are now. The house that has been around for a long time is much better."

Xu Hanwen worked at Xu Zhonglei's house for a while, one day and two days off.After paying the money, he left, and came back to continue working after spending the money.Xu Hanwen has no wife and no children. He is over 30 years old and has only a pair of old parents. The earthquake was buried under the rubble. He is now officially a loner. It seems that he is now eyeing Xu Zhiping's house.

"Xu Hanwen, you don't have a place to live? The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse. Everyone is building their own house, so you live in my house?" Xu Zhonglei sneered and scolded.

"You're wrong, Brother Shitou, didn't it say on TV that one side is in trouble and all sides support each other. In such a big disaster in our village, we can help each other. Look at your house is so big, how many people live in the village? Trouble, don't worry, when the government comes, we have to report to the higher authorities, maybe you can get a certificate or something!" Xu Tianci planned for him to rebuild after the disaster.

"I said, cough cough." Xu Zhonglei raised the volume, making sure that under the cover of the sound of rain, everyone could hear what he said, "The house is mine, and inside this wall, every piece of soil, every blade of grass You can’t move without my consent. If you want to live in it, it’s just a dream! Shit! My house! It’s all from the villagers, and they’re all building their own houses. Don’t stare at my house, live in it and build it yourself!”

"I can't live, no one can f*ck live!"

Xu Hanwen sent a lot, picked up a brick, and walked this way with a smirk.
