Zhang Man'er was washing dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. Xue Yang came over and said in a clear voice, "third sister-in-law."
Today, he specially wore a worn-out clothes with several patches. Zhang Man'er looked up at him and understood in a trance: "Xue Yang, what's the matter?"
"Third brother is not going to town, building a house is such a big thing, no man looking at it is not very convenient, dad asked me to help." Xue Yang scratched his head. To tell the truth, he specially explained the meaning of old man Xue.
There's someone to help, but Xue Yang is reliable. Zhang Man'er can't help it.
"I'll trouble you. The salary is the same as theirs."
Xue Yang was not very happy with Zhang Man'er's polite reaction. He was a little angry and said, "sister-in-law, if you are so polite again, I will be angry. The whole family is so clear about what's paid and what's not. "
Finish saying, he is carrying shovel, hoe, the air rushes toward the foundation there to walk.
Zhang Man'er looked at the tall and straight figure. He was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
This Xue Yang is quite interesting.
OK, no pay, no pay. When he gets married, just prepare a big gift.
The huge foundation is overgrown with weeds. It took two days to fill these uneven places with stones.
Xue Chuan still goes to work in the town every day. When he comes back in the evening, he will check the progress of his new house.
The salary for the villagers is 80 Wen a day, including a meal in the evening. After the dinner, Xue Chuan will tell them about the progress of Ming Dynasty.
And Zhang Man'er repeated revision of the drawings, give them a detailed explanation, according to the above style construction.
As for the purchase of earth bricks and sand and stone, Xue Chuan talked about it in the town. The shop assistants delivered the goods directly to the door, and Xue Yang inspected the goods on site. After supervision, Zhang Man'er paid for the goods.
As soon as Xue Chuan is free in the town these days, he goes out to find a suitable shop.
While Zhang Man'er checks the construction progress of the new house every day, he is also busy pickling wild garlic and salted duck eggs. The original empty kitchen is full of jars.
In order to ensure the taste of salted duck eggs, Zhang Man'er made two batches, one of which was instant. According to the method of the Dragon Boat Festival, he could eat them in ten days.
Another way is to dig yellow mud from the mountain, mash it into powder, put it in a porcelain basin, mix it with salt water to make a pile of yellow mud sauce, roll the duck eggs one by one, put them in a jar, seal them, and sell them in a month.
The salted duck eggs made in this way are really delicious, and the selling price is naturally more expensive.
At home, Zhang Man'er is busy every day. She wants to break herself into two parts and use them as two people.
After that, Zhang Man'er cooked a pot of honeysuckle tea, poured it into a wooden bucket, and walked to the new house.
It's hot. It's easy to sweat when doing some work. Drinking more herbal tea to prevent heatstroke can also quench thirst. Looking at these hot men who are drying in high temperature, they are all tanned with bare arms. Zhang Man'er sighs that it's not easy to earn money?
Especially Xue Yang, the original wheat skin, this will become bronze, less a touch of sunshine, more a touch of masculinity.
He was the first to see Zhang Man'er appear, happy ran over and said: "third sister-in-law, how did you come."
"Oh, I'll bring you herbal tea. I'll cook a bucket every day, and you'll drink it when you're thirsty."
"Well, my third sister-in-law is considerate. I'll take it." With a smile, Xue Yang brought this bucket of herbal tea to him and asked the men to drink tea.
Everyone was holding their own porcelain bowls, scrambling to turn them upside down. The posture of drinking freely was quite heroic.
Zhang Man'er looked at the new house, but it was only a few days. The original weeds were growing disorderly. The potholes in the foundation had been filled up, and the gray brick walls were more than one meter high.
The overall outline of the new house has already taken on an embryonic form. Looking at it like this, it is not different from the drawings.
Most of the houses in the village have yellow mud walls and thatched roofs, and those who can afford tile houses are the few rich families in the village.
The base bought by Zhang Man'er is well located and wide. Besides, it is not designed according to the specifications of the village. It has its own characteristics. Villagers passing by will look around curiously.
Xue's house looks very special. Is it built according to the house in the city? It's too ambitious. How much does it cost?
This time, I don't know how many people will regret it.
The old Xue family must have regretted it. Some of the people who once disliked Xue Chuan's poverty are going to regret it.
For example, Bai Qiaohe is one of them. The villagers know what they have in mind when they run to the village every two days.
This is not, this person can't stand to say, this just said, see white Qiao lotus wear broken flower dress to come lightly.
"Yo, Fang's daughter-in-law, why are you here again? I'm running here every day. I don't know. Do you think your family is building a new house?" Some village women couldn't look at it and said sarcastically.
"Is it regret or envy? You are so diligent that you are not afraid of Xue's daughter-in-law's thinking? "
"Are you still thinking about going to the Xue family to be Ping's wife? I'm married to the Fang family and I don't know how to settle down. What's in my mind? "
After waiting for the men to finish their tea, Zhang Man'er went back with an empty wooden bucket. On the side of the road, he saw three or five village women making noise around a woman dressed in beautiful clothes.
"Fang's daughter-in-law, I say you will die. Don't worry about Xue Chuan, and don't come here to look around. The Xue family wants to build a new house, which has nothing to do with you." This is the village's long tongued woman, most meet the wind to make the rudder.
Another village woman also insulted Bai Qiaohe: "you shameless coquettish hoof, are married, but also thinking about other people's Xianggong, that is, Zhang Man'er has a good temper. If it's me, I won't kill you."
Zhang Man'er's mouth is speechless. These village women are really fed up and have nothing to do. They hate her for nothing but to make up with her, but it's too much to do so.
The contradiction between her and Bai Qiaohe is getting bigger and bigger. These village women have made outstanding contributions.
So a few mouths, white Qiao lotus where top of come over, just bite lips, stare at them, have quite a kind of beauty son delicate and pitiful flavor.
Seeing that Bai Qiaohe was not arrogant, the gossip woman was even more proud. She crossed her waist and yelled: "why do you still feel aggrieved and reasonable? Don't think everyone is stupid. Who doesn't know your dirty thoughts? "
"That's to say, if you have the courage to hook up with Xue Chuan, but don't have the courage to admit it, you've really lost the face of our women's family."
The village woman said to pinch white Qiao he's arm, there are people to tear her flower skirt.
For a time, the scene was a little chaotic, with the rising and falling of calls and exclamations.
