The two of them packed a basket full of green plums and sour plums and went home. Out of curiosity, Chu Yue took one each and tasted it on the way, but was so sour that she didn't dare to take a second bite.
Seeing that the little girl was so sour that she couldn't even open her eyes, Lu Xinghe hurriedly took the fruit from her hand and put it back into the basket in her hand, "If you don't believe me when I say this fruit is sour, don't eat it. You'll get upset if you eat it later." Oh no."
After putting the fruit back into the house, the two went to the old house.
As soon as Chu Yue arrived at the old house, she hurriedly went to the kitchen to help Yun Cuihe boil water for cooking, while Lu Xinghe went to the new house to help before it was time for dinner.
When he arrived, Lu Dagui was helping to transport bricks, and he didn't look like he was lazy or slippery in the past.
Turning to look at Lu Tiesheng who was rubbing his waist, Lu Xinghe hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Sir, my eldest, second and fourth uncle and my eldest and second uncle are watching here. You should go back and have a rest. Don't do anything." It hurts my waist.”
Lu Tiesheng snorted and pushed his hand away, "I'm not old yet. I'm just a little tired after bending down for a long time. Just take it slow and you'll be fine."
Lu Shoucheng, who was not far away, glanced at the stubborn old man.
"Dad, it's almost dinner time. You should go back first. There are many people here and the house is getting up quickly. It won't take you a while."
Lu Tiesheng stood up with a groan, and said as he walked, "You heartless people just think that I am old, and I am still doing such activities."
Lu Shoucheng hurriedly nodded and patted Rainbow Fart, "Yes, yes, yes, I know that dad is working hard and his majesty is still the same as before. Aren't we afraid that you will be tired? Dad, please go back and rest. We will have to guard the bricks later in the evening." .”
Lu Tiesheng was startled when he heard Shou Zhuan.
"Too."
Then I went home easily.
Looking at the old man walking away, Lu Shoucheng shook his head helplessly, "Your father is just a tough talker. He is over fifty, but he still refuses to obey the old man at all. He thinks that he is a strong young man every day."
Lu Xinghe smiled and said nothing, just helping the bricklayers transport the bricks.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle are both real people, and the two workers they hired are very quick at their work. After nine people worked for a day, the house was half as tall as a person. If they work for another three or four days, they will probably be able to build beams. .
When he finished work, Lu Dagui was too embarrassed to go to his old house for dinner with everyone. His son was waiting at home, so he went straight back.
After Yun Cuihe found out, she hurriedly asked brothers Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan to send two bowls of brown rice porridge.
When Lu Dagui saw the deserted home and the empty rice vat, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The next moment he saw the two bowls of brown rice porridge in front of him, he raised his hand in emotion and wiped away his tears.
He stole someone's money, and they not only saved his son, but also gave him food. What a good person.
Although he felt embarrassed in his heart, Lu Dagui still wanted to eat the rice that was brought to his mouth. After all, there was no rice at home. He took the thick brown rice porridge cooked by the two brothers and said, "Thank you Xingping Xing'an, You go back first, and when you finish eating, I will send the bowl back myself."
"Okay, let's go back."
After the brothers finished speaking, they quickly ran back to the old house to have dinner.
…
After such a busy day, everyone was tired. After eating and tidying up the old house, the family went home. Since there was not enough room at home, the two Yun brothers slept in the old house for the time being. .
After all, the old house has a lot of rooms. After the eldest and second family moved out, several rooms were left vacant.
At night, Lu Xinghe lay down on his back.
"Yueyue, don't go to the mountains in the future?"
Chu Yue was about to sleep in a daze. When she heard Lu Xinghe's words, she lazily asked, "What's wrong?"
He glanced at Chu Yue's slender back, "After all, just don't run into the mountains when I'm not around."
"I see."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she yawned, and soon she heard shallow breathing.
Lu Xinghe smiled helplessly. A heartless little girl always falls asleep quickly.
…
The Lu family has been busy building houses these days, and the Chu family in Niutou Village is not idle either. Chu Dashan first encouraged his parents to go to Lu Xinghe’s house to ask Chu Yue for money. Zhao Chunhua said that the Moon Worship Festival was coming anyway, so anyway They are coming, so there is no need to make this trip.
Seeing that his instigation was fruitless, he began to send people to inquire about the situation of the Lu family. Later, he heard that the Lu family was going to build a house, so he encouraged his parents to go and take a look. None of the family were hard-working people. Thinking of having to walk on the mountain road for two hours, what if? There was no benefit from going and I still had to help, so I didn’t want to waste that time and just wanted to send Chu Yue home by herself.
Finally, the day before the Moon Worship Festival, the family finally realized that Chu Yue might not come.
After dinner, Zhao Chunhua pinched her waist and cursed, "Is it possible that this bitch's wings are stiff and he no longer wants his parents' family? He is such a short-sighted loser and really thinks that the Lu family is her backer. Then Lu Xinghe is just a temporary novelty." , tired of staying there for two years, let’s see who else she can count on!”
Chu Dashan fanned the flames, "Mom, what did I say? I just said she was bought by Lu Xinghe, right? You don't know how arrogant she was last time she saw me."
Because he was frightened by Lu Xinghe when he stole a pig last time, Chu Youqian had been honest for a while, but recently he started to feel itchy again.
If it weren't for his family's lack of money, he would have gone to the gambling house in the town.
Hearing the conversation between the two, he slapped the table in front of him.
"I'm going to Banpo Village tomorrow. How can a married girl not send something to her parents' house during the festival?"
Chu Dashan hurriedly said: "Dad, I will go with you then."
Xiao Tao huddled in the corner and quietly watched them discuss what to do with her sister. She felt that the faces of this family were extremely ugly.
Fortunately, my sister is married far away, otherwise she would be harassed by them every day, which would make her angry.
"Go, go, go, you guys can go together and have someone to rely on. Just go back early." Zhao Chunhua said and glared at Chu Xiaotao who was shrinking aside, "You little hooves, what are you doing standing still? The dishes and chopsticks on the table are not cleared away? Just like your sister, they are useless losers. They can’t do much work every day and have to waste food at home every day.”
After saying that, he kicked the chair away angrily and went back to the house.
Chu Xiaotao avoided the chair that Zhao Chunhua kicked over and said nothing. She only stretched her arms to reach the dishes and chopsticks on the table and put them together. Then she moved the bowls to the water tank with some difficulty and started washing them.
The little figure huddled beside the water tank. Although he was thin, he showed tenacity and stubbornness.
Her sister is not at home, so she has to learn to protect herself, and hopes that she can become her sister's support in the future.
…
The Yun brothers had been helping out in Banpo Village for ten days. Today they had the house tiled and went back. The next day was the Moon Worship Festival, so they had to go back to reunite with their family.
Yun Cuihe gave each of them a salary of 300 yuan. At first the brothers refused to take it, but Yun Cuihe insisted and stuffed it into their hands and pushed them out the door.
The brothers couldn't resist Yun Cuihe, so they had no choice but to go home with the copper coins.
"Xinghe, the roof of our new house has been built. The next step is to lay the blue bricks, plaster the walls, build the stove, make the kang, and build the latrine according to your requirements. Then we will have to hire a carpenter to build the furniture. Who should we hire? What?" Yun Cuihe frowned.
Lu Xinghe said without thinking, "Master Liu from Liushu Village. His carpentry is well-known in several villages near and far, and his wages are fair."
Yun Cuihe nodded, "Okay, then Master Liu."
Chu Yue on the side raised her eyebrows when she heard Liushu Village.
Didn’t Wu Yong learn carpentry in Liushu Village? If Mr. Liu wants to invite Master Liu, Wu Yong will probably follow his master, right?
