Chapter 51 Yang Laoer builds a house
"Noisy, noisy! Isn't the autumn harvest tiring enough for you? You are all too busy to go back and serve the men and children!" As soon as the village chief entered the door, he first talked about the women who came over to quarrel, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Yang Dou!"
Yang Laoer had to come out of the room.
The village chief got angry when he saw him, "What's the matter with you? Your mother-in-law makes trouble every day! She can't control her, so she's no longer a man? Let me tell you, the whole village has never seen such troubles in your family!" In the past, the old man just tolerated the Qian family and the Jiang family. Now that the Jiang family has moved out and reformed, why is your mother-in-law even more serious? If the Qian family is outraged again, your family will not be in the village. Be a good person!”
The village chief's words were very serious, and Yang Laoer lost his dignity. He wanted to say Mrs. Qian, but when he thought about that day, he just yelled at Mrs. Qian in the field, and when Mrs. Qian came back, she gave up her job and didn't even wash her clothes or cook any food. , lying on the bed pretending to be dead, he said a few words to Qian's wife and got angry.
He can't be hit or scolded, and he can't do anything when others are cheating.
Seeing his cowardly look, the village chief was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, "You, you! I really don't know what to say! By the way, didn't you say that you will move out after the autumn harvest? When will you start working?"
Yang Laoer became more and more guilty and hesitantly said: "I just finished my work and saved a little bit of adobe at home, but it's not enough."
"Let me see how much you have saved." The village chief was not easy to fool. When he saw the two or three pieces of adobe, he couldn't sit still. "Is this the adobe you have saved for several months? It's not as much as I saved in one day!" Yang Dou, Yang Dou, don’t forget that you signed a contract with the Jiang family!
When your mother-in-law did things without leaving any escape route, Jiang would definitely not show mercy to you. If you hadn’t moved out before winter, do you believe Jiang could have made this matter a big deal? Don't come to me then! "
"Village Chief, I know, I know! The autumn harvest has just been completed. I also need time to work. If it doesn't work, I will go to the village to borrow adobe bricks and return them slowly later." Yang Laoer also knew that they were being unreasonable, so he explained with a blushing face. .
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hurry up now. Go and ask anyone in the village who has adobe bricks. If you save enough today, we will find someone to start working on them tomorrow. We will move out within this month."
Qian didn't want to move at all, so she reluctantly snorted and walked into the room with her buttocks twisted.
Yang Laoer didn't really want to move, so he was taking so long. After hearing the village chief's urging words, his face drooped, and he muttered: "Isn't the big house still building a house? My father and the third child are both there. I can’t come over to help when I’m working!”
"Drink! The Jiang family calculated their wages for them. It's ten cents a day, not a penny less. If you take ten cents, more people will work for your family!" The village chief was so angry that he raised his eyebrows and raised his hands. Akimbo.
Yang Laoershan said nonchalantly: "It's all from my own family, so what kind of salary is it?"
"Eh! Yang Dou! Why didn't we know you were so shameless! Oh, your father, your brother, and you are a family, but not the same family as the Jiang family? The Jiang family broke off the relationship with you two, but not with you. They broke off the relationship, and even a woman was given her salary, so why do you, a grown man, want to have **** for free?" Yang Jun, who came to watch the excitement, happened to hear this and couldn't help but ridicule Yang. The second one has a meal.
Yang Laoer couldn't hold his head up when he was told, and said as if he was angry: "My family really has no money, I will work slowly by myself, and I will do as much as I can!"
The village chief didn't want him to grind. If he grinded for one more day, Qian would cause him a lot of trouble in the village. "Yang Jun, if you have nothing to do, go help and let Yang Dou take care of the food. You can do it for half a day. First, Help them build a room that they can live in, and let them take care of the rest.”
Yang Jun was reluctant at first. When he heard that he only had to work for half a day and take care of the food, he immediately agreed. It was just a room! Two or three people can finish it in two or three days, and it can save some food for the family.
Qian was so angry that the village chief kept pressing forward and began to curse in the yard again. However, she did not dare to scold the village chief directly, so she scolded the villagers who were watching the fun, scolded Jiang Ning, and along the way, she accused Old Man Yang and Mr. Li of being partial. The couple is snobbish and looks down on the second wife and so on. In short, she scolded everything she could.
Ms. Li originally wanted to teach Ms. Qian a lesson, but then she thought about it. Tomorrow the second child and his family would have to go to the west of the village to build a house. It was estimated that they would have to move out in the next few days, so she endured it.
Jiang Ning laughed when he heard that the village chief urged Yang Laoer to build a house, and asked Yang Erdan to send some wild fruits to the village chief's house.
Old man Yang couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw this. He finally knew how to behave.
After the autumn harvest, there are gradually more and more people in the mountains. Even on the Qingfeng Mountain side, many people go into the mountains to collect firewood and pick wild fruits, and some people set traps to catch pheasants and rabbits.
Yang Sizhuang accidentally fell into someone else's trap and was almost injured.
Jiang Ning saw that this was not a solution, so he simply forbade the children to go further up the mountain. Anyway, there were no more melons and wild fruits, and there were a lot of wild fruits. There were more people to pick them, and the rest were almost invisible. Even if there were It's not their children's turn to pick them, so they might as well stay at home and finish the house in peace.
The children were quite happy to stay at home to help. After all, they also wanted to move into a new house as soon as possible.
With two main workers, Yang Laosan and Yang Laotou, and a few children to help, the farmhouse was finally completed one month after the autumn harvest.
The gate of the entire courtyard opens to the east. There is a row of six connected houses to the east, and there is also a row of six connected houses to the north, connected to each other. There are two rows of four tiled houses in the middle, and a high courtyard is built to the west. A small door was opened in the wall, and a row of hay sheds and a row of chicken coops were built. The buildings were not neatly built, and there was only as much land as there was to circle around. There was also a small piece of land for growing vegetables.
Facing the dirt road to the north, there is a big banyan tree below, which is directly surrounded by a wall. This is the yard where the family will live in the future.
This is the first time such a courtyard has been built in Rongshu Village. Many villagers came to see the rare thing. After asking, everyone was just envious, but no one said anything gossip. After all, they saved the materials themselves and did it at their own expense. It’s about mental effort, not money, what can they say?
Those who saw Jiang Ning's new home instantly changed their view of her, and even praised her for being virtuous and capable.
Jiang Ning didn't know this news at first, but she only found out about it when Mrs. Zhang came to talk to her.
Seeing her shock, Ms. Zhang covered her mouth and chuckled, "You don't know, many people in the village now say that Yang Hu is unlucky. I think that's not the case! Look, without him, your life will be worse. It’s getting better.”
Zhang knew that the relationship between Jiang and Yang Hu was not good, and the two of them were fighting like blackbirds, so there was nothing taboo about saying these things.
Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.
Zhang came up to Jiang Ning mysteriously and whispered: "You know that Yang Dou and his family will have a new house the day after tomorrow, right?"
