After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone began to clean up.
Gu Zhendong is responsible for pressing water in the yard, while Guo Xiang and Wang Guiying receive water with serviceable buckets and washbasins, and then wash everywhere. Even Guo Er helps.
After washing for almost an afternoon, everything was cleaned and the yard was clean. As for the broken walls, let them go for the time being. Fortunately, it doesn't rain now, otherwise the walls will be washed and dirty everywhere.
Guo Xiang looked at the broken house and said to Wang Guiying, "Mom, let's push the house and build a brick house."
"How can there be so much money?" Wang Guiying was surprised.
Guo Xiang smiled. She has thousands of yuan. There are nearly two thousand in cash in her bag alone. I'm afraid a few hundred houses will be enough at this time.
Of course, she dare not say so much, for fear of scaring the old man.
"That's enough, mother. In addition to the money to repay the debt, I also brought hundreds." Guo Xiang said.
"Isn't that... Good? Now everyone is suffering from disasters and can't even eat. We build big tile roofed houses. Isn't that hated? " Wang Guiying shook her head.
Guo Xiang was stunned. It was true, but she always went her own way and didn't care about other people's views, so she didn't think so much.
If Wang Guiying's family want to live here for a long time, of course, it's better to be considerate.
"When the state has subsidies and everyone wants to build a house, we will build it again. We will say that it is the money borrowed by Zhennan from his unit. At that time, we will have nothing to say?" Guo Xiang said.
"That's pretty much the same!" Wang Guiying nodded.
When the yard was almost done, Guo Xiang took a large pile of money out of his bag and handed it to Wang Guiying, "Mom, pay off the debt first!"
"A lot of money!" Guo er's eyes are bright. It's the first time to see so much money.
After paying off the debt, life will be easier.
Wang Guiying asked Gu Zhendong to go door-to-door to inform those who had lent money to the Gu family that they would pay back the money now and let everyone come and get the money.
Everyone was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhennan still had money to pay back at this time. Gu Zhennan must have found a way in his unit.
It's good to have a worker's son.
Those who didn't lend money to the family regretted it. If only they had lent it, they could get it back now, but now the money has been washed away by the flood. Who can reason with?
Those who heard the news came to Gu's house. Guo Xiang took a paper and pen in the yard and asked Gu Zhendong to register. The people who received the money signed, and those who couldn't write covered their fingerprints.
In this way, even people without ious don't have to worry.
Some people don't know yet. They have been explaining to Wang Guiying that the IOU was washed away by the water for fear that they won't admit it.
"Don't worry, I remember how much money I borrowed. It won't be short." Wang Guiying said.
Guo Xiang kept the order outside and asked everyone to line up and don't be noisy. It was more efficient. Everyone queued up obediently. At this time, the money was life-saving money.
Guo Xiang was surprised to see so many people. How many did he borrow?
She didn't know that Gu Zhennan needed money temporarily at that time. Of course, she couldn't go back to the northeast to borrow it. She borrowed it in the village. The people in the village were poor. How much money did a family have, so they borrowed a few dollars and a few more tens of dollars, and even borrowed more than half of the people in the village.
The people who received the money thanked them again and again, and Wang Guiying thanked them for their assistance at that time. Everyone was happy.
Suddenly a familiar voice came, "my family is twenty dollars!"
Guo Xiang looked, isn't this aunt Gu's house? Did her family borrow money? Twenty dollars? Is she so generous?
Guo Xiang hurriedly called Wang Guiying. When Wang Guiying saw that it was her, her face sank, "what 20 yuan? My family didn't borrow money from you! "
"Why not? Borrow it! " Aunt Gu looked impatient.
"Take out the IOU when you borrow it!" Guo Xiang said.
"What IOU? Then why don't they want an IOU? " Aunt Gu pointed to the person who didn't get the IOU and said.
"They really lent me money. You didn't borrow it, but you still want money? That's nice! " Wang Guiying said angrily.
"You said you didn't borrow it? What evidence do you have? " Aunt Gu is not afraid of scalding a dead pig.
"I don't know if I can borrow it? I remember it clearly in my mind! " Wang GUI was so angry that his face turned red. "At that time, Zhennan and I talked a lot of good words at the door. You drove us out without saying a word. If you don't remember, I remember it clearly!"
Wang Guiying said that her eyes were red. Such relatives were inferior to passers-by.
"You... Must have remembered wrong. There's nothing wrong!" Aunt Gu is still cunning.
"Will you borrow money just as you are stingy? Who believes it! " Someone spoke.
"Yes, it would be nice if you didn't borrow from them."
"It's shameless that you didn't borrow it and return it!"
"The skin is thicker than the wall of our house..."
Everyone laughed.
Aunt Gu blushed. "What nonsense are you talking about? How do you know if you borrow it? Don't make a fool of yourself!"
Guo Xiangshi couldn't see it anymore. He went to pick up aunt Gu's collar and pulled it out, "do you think we are so easy to cheat? Don't look who this is! If you have me at home, you don't want to be a demon! "
Then he picked up the man and threw him out at the door. The ground was full of mud. Aunt Gu fell into mud and scolded there.
But no one helped her, all pointed at her, and the people inside ignored her at all. She scolded so boring that she had to walk away.
I thought I could fish in troubled waters. Who would have thought that Wang Guiying remembered so well, and that fierce daughter-in-law was watching, so I couldn't take advantage of it at all.
When the money was almost received, Gu Zhendong read it to Wang Guiying one by one. There were several others who didn't come. Wang Guiying personally sent it to the door with Gu Zhendong, so he paid off all the debts.
After paying off the debt, I felt as if I had unloaded a big stone, and my whole body relaxed.
Guo Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he owed less to his family and the pressure was not so great.
The next step is to make them live a better life.
Ji Changlin also had dinner at Gu's house in the evening. Guo Xiang asked Gu Zhendong to move his bed out of his house and put it in the hall on his side. Sleeping in the hall is better than sleeping in a house with half a wall.
Ji Changlin's room belongs to the gatehouse. It is separated by a wooden wall. There are walls on all sides. Once it falls, all sides are empty, which is similar to sleeping in the open air.
Although it is hot now, he is old after all, and the dew is bad for his health.
There are yards and more rooms in the family. The outer wall has fallen down. There are two rooms with full wooden walls. The hall is in the middle. Now you can live after washing.
"Dr. Ji, you are wronged to sleep here." Wang Guiying said shyly.
"No, it's already very good. It's much better than mine." Ji Changlin smiled.
The next day, under the organization of the village head, several people from each family began to clean up the whole village.
