Chapter 1438 [1437] Housewarming and opening up 4000
With this kind of house design and structure, at least my brothers will be able to live comfortably in the future when they get married.
Of course, in the end, including the carpentry work at home, the stone tables, stone platforms, large water tanks in the yard, the walnut trees in the backyard, the grape seedlings in the front yard, etc., the total cost was almost one hundred.
For eighty yuan, we now have a large home that lacks everything.
Their family built a stone house with bricks and tiles on the beams. This kind of house will not leak, is strong, durable, and weather-resistant. It is considered the most expensive house structure at the moment.
In the 1980s and 1990s, brick houses became popular, with red bricks and gray tiles, and around 2000, buildings became popular.
Times are progressing, and their house is now considered one of the best in the village, but it will eventually be eliminated in more than ten years.
Ding Wei is very satisfied with her house, especially the stone tables and benches placed in the yard. At the door of the kitchen and woodshed built next to the wall on the east side, there is also a sturdy and durable water table built on it, which can be used to cut vegetables and roll noodles.
, you can put dishes and chopsticks underneath, and there are cabinets added, which is very pragmatic.
It's just that this kitchen has no doors or windows, so it can be considered open-air. It's exposed to wind and sun, which is weird.
My mother was very satisfied after seeing it: "In the past, we used to burn firewood in the kitchen, which filled the house with soot. This time, your dad just made it with a roof and no doors. I think it's good. It's easy to clean up this way."
, but flies are too annoying in the summer, so I’m going to get some bamboo poles from here and make them into strips like fences. In the summer, I can use screens to cover the windows to prevent mosquitoes.”
While her mother was talking, she went to discuss it with her father. Ding Wei looked back at the location and felt that her mother's design was very feasible, and corn stalks or wheat straw could also be used around the kitchen to weave it into a suitable shape to create a look.
It is more than 1 meter high and is resistant to oil splash and soot. If it gets dirty, just pull it off and re-knit it.
When my parents heard about it, they thought her method was very good. "It doesn't look good if we put up newspapers in the main room. I'll have to put up some knitting materials one by one later."
The windows in her house have been replaced with glass. In the past, they were made of paper window paper, but this time they were replaced directly with glass. Although the house is large, the windows are not big. The main reason is that the wind will leak in the winter and the cold will be very cold, so the windows are only designed
To the extent that it can be illuminated, after the sun sets, the light in the room has dimmed.
After the big pot meal at noon, there were almost no leftovers. The whole family started cleaning up together, and then returned the borrowed pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches to the villagers. The housewarming celebration was over.
"There are quite a lot of people suffering from pink eye today." Ding Wei complained as she helped her mother put on the quilt.
Zhao Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ding Wei: "Hey, what did someone say to you?"
"There are a lot of weird people today. They even come to me to ask how much you earn per month and how you can afford to build such a big house. The most important thing is that my second uncle's house was also built with our own money, so there are many
People are
We were settling the accounts there, and some people even ran against us and said, this house is so well built, why is the one built for my second uncle’s house so mediocre? Good people will do it to the end. Hey, it’s really idle. If you want to kidnap us morally, you and I are the only ones.
How did you respond?"
Zhao Qingqing knew that her daughter never suffered, so she couldn't help but asked her with a smile: "Who dares to directly retaliate like this without saving face?"
"Who else could it be? It's the aunt whose son is gambling. Her son is not up to par, and she is jealous of our family. She even told others that she wouldn't lend it to her even if she had money. No one who has money would dare to lend it to her family.
That means there is no return, and she had the nerve to say it. I didn't tolerate her, and directly said to her, "You haven't paid back the money your own son owed for gambling. It's not enough for my parents to help my second uncle's house build a house."
, you still have to help a few children to take care of them until they die?'!"
"She was speechless after one sentence. She was still staring at me for most of the day. I asked knowingly, 'Auntie, why are you staring at me? Did I say something wrong? My parents raised money to build a house for my second uncle's family.
, buy a dowry for my mulberry sister,
How much does this add up to? We don’t talk about it outside, just because we don’t want others to talk about it behind our backs. Which of my second uncle’s sons and daughters has not received help from my parents? This is not enough, we have to let them
exhausted
Is it possible for family wealth to treat them as their own children to shut up the mouths of you people? I just want to ask aunt, if you can treat them as your own children? If you can't do it, why should you ask others to do it?
My eldest sister, they haven’t said anything yet, why are you more dissatisfied than them? Just because the money was not lent to you so that your son can continue to gamble, you can’t stand everything that happens in my family? What about you, how can you
Won't you help your son pay off his debt?'"
The aunt replied almost subconsciously: "Why should I help him?" Later, when she realized that she had been fooled, she slapped the table directly: "What a sharp-tongued little girl! She is indeed Zhao Qingqing's daughter, she is so talkative.
!”
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Yes, you are your son's biological mother and you still don't pay off his debt. You would rather have them arrested than help pay off the debt. Then why do you ask our family to treat them like your own children?"
Haven't my parents done enough?
Enough? Everyone in the village is watching. Who can do this to my parents? My eldest aunt, second aunt, and third uncle didn’t say anything. My sister, brother, and younger brother didn’t say anything either. It’s your turn to be here.
Are there some weird and mean people here?"
"You!" The old woman was so angry that she stood up and pointed at Ding Wei, whose face turned red and thick with anger. Ding Wei looked around and found that people at several nearby tables were looking at her. Her mother seemed to be still busy in the kitchen.
, not paying attention to what happened here, Ding Wei pursed her lips and said, "I'm just telling the truth. The truth is so ugly, don't you also criticize us like this? I just learned from you, aunt!"
After Ding Wei explained the whole story, Zhao Qingqing gradually came to his senses: "No wonder they all said that I raised a powerful daughter, but no one said why. It seems that they said that because of this incident.
Probably because there are so many people, it’s hard to say much, so I just praise you and finish the job. That auntie of yours has a mouth that is not forgiving. She fights with your uncle every day because of her mouth.
, but it is a fact that their family owes many people debts but refuses to pay them back. People have a way of saying that their son has been in jail to make amends, so why should he ask her for money? If he doesn’t want money, he will save his life! Say this.
, who can force them to death? I only regret that I was blind and lent them money, but if someone like this happens in the village in the future, no one will probably help. "
Ding Weixin said, life in rural areas is generally difficult for people like this. In the city, it's okay to just close the door and live your own life. But in the village, you don't even look up when you see someone. After a long time, I'm afraid I don't even have the desire to say hello.
No, this was all done by themselves!
Are there too many stories about the boy who cried wolf? He lied to his parents before and said that my uncle broke his leg and asked for money. But it turned out that it was all an excuse, just to borrow money to fill the hole that her son had created, demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall.
If it is removed, air will leak from all sides, so we can't take care of that.
"Today, there are people who drank too much and borrowed money from your father to borrow food, saying that they can't live anymore,"
It’s understandable. They have built a big house, rented a house in the city, and have a serious job. But even if they have a job, the salary is dead!
"In the eyes of outsiders, is our family that rich? Building one house, or two houses, and my mulberry-picking sister's dowry have already ruined the family's fortune. How come there are still people saying that our family is rich?"
"Silly girl, if I prepare these things for your brother, they may think carefully before speaking. But the problem is, your brother is not married yet, but we have spare money to arrange for my niece's marriage, and we have prepared it for her.
Dowry, when it comes to your brother, will we have no money in our hands? This is the difference between closeness and distance. They are better at calculating than anyone else. You, you have verified their guess without asking. There may be more than one person next.
You came to our house to borrow money!"
It was only later that Ding Wei realized what she had said. Building a house and adding mulberry picking sister's dowry were just guesses before, but now she has fulfilled her words. As her mother said, everyone can tell whether they are close or not.
I prepared it for my niece, how could I not prepare it for my own son?
She frowned and said, "You are still smarter when you are older. These people dug a hole for me to jump, and I actually jumped. Mom, what's wrong with this?"
Zhao Qingqing, however, looked unconcerned: "You are in charge of the money. How can you be afraid that your father and I will be deceived? Don't worry, we will tell you where to start. It depends on the person and the situation. If it doesn't matter, we won't borrow it."
, if you lend money to others, you must be prepared not to get it back. What do you think we are trying to do? The money we earn through hard work will ultimately make it easier for outsiders. We will not do this!"
"Then my brother Jianxi and the others are living at home?"
Zhao Qingqing nodded, "Isn't your brother Jianxin about to graduate from middle school? When he graduates, we will arrange for him to work in the coal mine in the next county. Your father has already started to find someone to support him. Isn't it time for Jianxin to enter junior high school? It depends on where he takes the exam.
, anyway, junior high school students live on campus, so it’s not a hassle.
, I will give your uncle and aunt some subsidies and let them take care of them for you. If they want to do it themselves, that’s fine. We can’t take care of them anymore. There aren’t even a few pieces of furniture left in the rental house. No.
If you don't have it, put it in Zheng's or Qian's house first, then the house will fall down."
Ding Wei raised her hand in agreement: "I think it is to prevent them from thinking that we have a house and come back to live and eat and drink from time to time. I can't stand the behavior of those people for a long time. Mom, in fact, I don't want to move to their house."
Okay, let’s just pull it back and we’re done?”
"Then we have to find another truck. OK, I'll discuss it with your dad. If we can bring it back next week, that's fine. But there are only a few months left, and the landlord may not refund our money."
"Why don't you refund the money? We didn't damage her house. When my second uncle left, we still lost money."
Seeing the angry look on the little girl's face, Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but scratch her nose.
"You, you, you are so powerful, I don't know what kind of boy can defeat you in the future!"
"I can't live on my own, so why do I have to get married? I can't bear the injustice if I get married, and it might disturb their family and make their family uneasy, so Mom, you'd better let her go?"
At this time, Xiangfeng, who was thousands of miles away, came with a gust of sea breeze. His nose itched, and he sneezed three times in a row, which immediately confused him.
I saw that his sun-dark and shiny skin was covered with traces of salt stains. His upper body was naked and his lower body was wearing a blue training suit. He was training in class units holding heavy logs in the waves.
Various training equipment were placed on the beach. When a wave hit them, they stood in the sea and gritted their teeth and held on, not letting the waves wash them away.
When the waves rolled back, the sea breeze blew and they shivered with cold. When they sneezed into the wind, other people also had itchy noses.
Ding Jianshe, who was standing next to Xiang Feng, couldn't help but glance at him: "What, do you want to catch a cold?"
"Go, why am I so fragile? My nose is just itchy. Don't talk about it. The monitor is here. If I get caught again, I will be exhausted!"
…
An hour later, after training, they hurried back to the dormitory to wash up, dressed neatly, and hurried to the cafeteria to eat.
The steamed buns were either stuffed with kelp or wakame. He had already eaten enough. Xiang Feng smacked his lips and couldn't help but look at Ding Jianshe.
"Jianshe, why haven't your sister sent us any food? I really can't eat any of this stuff. If I eat this every day, I will almost turn into kelp and sway with the waves in the sea!"
This kelp doesn’t even have side dishes. You said you could add some chili to season it. It doesn’t even include salt, let alone chili. It’s just minced and wrapped with some minced garlic. It’s still multigrain noodles.
It was made so dark that it was hard to swallow. I ate it every day, every month, and every year. Even if I had an occasional tooth festival, it was filled with kelp and tofu, so Xiang Feng missed the days of chili sauce more and more.
Ding Jianshe smiled and shook his head: "I'm probably busy moving. Once my family moves and grows vegetables on their own land, the chili sauce will come."
When Xiangfeng heard this, he looked sad: "How many months must we wait? You are really good at comforting people. By the way, have you sent the kelp back?"
"Well, I sent it. I should have received it by now. There are also those shrimps and stuff. I don't know if they can get used to it. Okay, stop talking and eat it quickly. I'll give you an egg at least?"
The two of them murmured in a low voice. When they saw the squad leader looking towards them, they quickly stuffed it into their mouths. It didn't taste like anything anyway, so they just swallowed it and drank it down.
When Ding Wei mentioned a very large package from the post office, she was dumbfounded. It was very heavy to carry on her back. When she saw that it was sent by her second brother, she couldn't help but murmur.
"What is it, so heavy? If I had known this, I would have asked Third Brother to come and get it."
After the housewarming ceremony, they returned to the city and went back on weekends. Dad was different. He would ride his bike back whenever he had time because he had to plant vegetables on his own land and in the open space in the front and back yards. Otherwise, there would be no food to eat. Besides, now
