Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Meng Haisheng asked around in the town and finally decided on a construction team.

He chose this team for no other reason than that this team had many people and worked fast. After the foreman saw the yard plan Meng Haisheng drew, he said that he would build it for him within ten days.

He had to bring the bricks and stones for building the house home by himself, so Meng Haisheng borrowed a tractor from the next village, and together with the tractor from his village, he went to the brick factory to pull bricks and stones for an afternoon.

The young and strong laborers in the village went to the mountains to catch ground beetles, and Meng Haisheng couldn't find anyone to help him unload the truck. In the end, he gave the young man in the brick factory 10 yuan more and found four people to help him unload the truck.

"Haisheng, are you really going to build a house here?"

The old man of the village, Grandpa Lang, was walking on the street with his hands behind his back. When he saw Meng Haisheng unloading red bricks, he couldn't help but come over to ask.

"Yes, the homestead has been approved for quite a while, but I have been too busy to take care of it. I have some free time these days, so I will quickly build the house and air it out so that it can be lived in before winter."

Meng Haisheng was also very happy to build a new house. No matter how he wanders outside in the future, this house is his root, and sooner or later he will return to his roots.

"Okay, you have vision and courage. I will help you calculate an auspicious day next time, and you can start digging the foundation."

"That's great, I will leave a pig's head for grandpa then."

Meng Haisheng didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now he has a little awe, after all, his living example is here.

Grandpa Lang is a man of quick work. That night, he wrote an auspicious day on a piece of red paper and sent it to Meng Haisheng. The best auspicious day of this month is two days later. The bricks and stones have been prepared, and there is no time rush, so Meng Haisheng decided on it.

Meng Daniu heard that Meng Haisheng was about to start construction, and came to ask about the construction team in a hurry, fearing that Meng Haisheng had forgotten him.

"Brother Daniu, don't worry, I have already told the construction team that I will build yours after I finish mine."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'm going to the mountain to catch more earthworms."

The person Meng Daniu trusts most in his life is Meng Haisheng. Even if it's a big thing like building a house, he won't discuss it with his parents. As long as Meng Haisheng says he will help him build it, he will let Meng Haisheng build it for him.

But Meng Haisheng can't just help Meng Daniu build a house. He has almost decided on his side, so he specially asked Meng Guangjun to discuss what style to build for Meng Daniu's wedding house.

After choosing and choosing, Meng Guangjun finally chose a more conventional yard, building four rooms, plus an east wing and a west bungalow.

Building a house in the village is a big deal. Meng Haisheng specially asked someone to send a message to Meng Jincheng, asking him to come back if he was free to join in the fun. Because it was not a holiday, Meng Haisheng did not hold out much hope. He had already asked for leave once this month, and it might be a bit difficult to ask for another one.

Unexpectedly, Meng Jincheng came back early in the morning by the early bus. "Here, this is a little gift from my brother." A big red envelope fell into Meng Haisheng's hands.

"Thank you, brother, for giving me such a big red envelope. You can have some of the biggest firecrackers later."

Grandpa Lang said that Meng Haisheng made money, so he should buy more firecrackers and not be reluctant to spend money. He got such a precious piece of land, so he naturally had to celebrate it well. So Meng Haisheng directly bought 20,000 rings and two large firecrackers. "Okay, I like this job."

"Haisheng, let's go into the house and talk."

Meng Jincheng called Meng Haisheng to the west room mysteriously. "I have good news to tell you. Meng Guoliang and several people from the Education Bureau have been arrested by the police. I think someone reported Meng Jinshan's impersonation to the higher authorities."

"That's good. I estimate the time. It will be in the next two days."

Meng Haisheng smiled happily. Those who offended him would definitely not have a good end.

"Haisheng, from what you said, did you report it?"

"I didn't admit it."

Meng Haisheng's smirk seemed to imply that he was the one who wrote the anonymous letter of accusation to Meng Jincheng.

"You are really promising, and you are getting more and more courageous."

Meng Jincheng patted Meng Haisheng's shoulder vigorously. Before he knew it, Meng Haisheng had grown up quickly and became a man of integrity.

"One more thing. I have found a house for you. It is in the family building of the textile machinery factory. There is a family with a yard on the first floor. Their family was allocated a better house and moved out. They want to rent out their old house."

"Although this house is a bit old, they have built another room in the yard on the first floor. It is a small two-bedroom apartment and the area is more than half larger than ours. You can live in the bedroom after you clean it up. The children can study and play in the living room."

Just hearing Meng Jincheng say this, Meng Haisheng feltThis yard is very reliable. Most of the houses in the county are small with one bedroom and one living room. There are very few houses with two bedrooms and one living room. It is not easy to rent such a large one.

"Brother, how much is a yard like this per month?"

"Five yuan a month, if you rent it for a year, 50 yuan will be fine."

Meng Haisheng was surprised to hear this price. A two-bedroom house with a yard only costs 5 yuan a month, which is like picking it up for free.

"Then I'll go to the county to have a look tomorrow."

"Okay, come over at noon and I'll take you to see it. I really can't take leave at other times. If I take leave again, our factory director will trouble me."

The deafening sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky, and everyone's face was filled with deep smiles. Their village has not been so lively for many years.

Because of the legend about the big white snake, when Meng Haisheng started digging the foundation, most of the people in the village came to watch. They really wanted to see if Meng Haisheng would dig out a big white snake.

There were a total of more than twenty men, including the workers of the construction team and the people who came to help from the village. It took almost a whole morning for everyone to dig the foundation together.

Even after the foundation was dug, they still didn't see the legendary big white snake. Not to mention the big snake, there was not even a small snake. It seems that it was all a rumor to scare people.

Some people felt quite regretful. If they had known that there was no white snake here, they should have chosen this homestead earlier. Looking at the whole village, Meng Haisheng's homestead has the largest area and the best location, and it is very convenient to enter and exit the village.

On the first day of digging the foundation, Meng Haisheng set up a banquet at home and invited the people who came to help today to drink. Meng Haisheng did not let Lin Mucheng go to the kitchen to help cook, but asked her to bring Momo to play together. He found a familiar aunt and sister-in-law to help.

"Sister-in-law, the dishes are all served, please take everyone to sit down. Wife, come here too. Oh, sister-in-law, please bring all the children up here, I have prepared a lot of dishes today, definitely enough for everyone."

In the past, when people in the village built houses and set up banquets, the aunts and sisters-in-law who helped would eat in the kitchen. This is the first time that someone has set up a separate table for women.

"How can this be? There are a bunch of men eating here, why should we join in the fun."

"Sister-in-law, the dishes are all served, please take everyone to sit down. Wife, come here too. Oh, sister-in-law, please ask all the children to come up here, I have prepared a lot of dishes today, definitely enough for everyone."

It is unrealistic to change some traditions all at once. Meng Haisheng wants to slowly change some not-so-good concepts through his own efforts.
