Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 62 The last day 【For further reading】

"Well, I basically replaced the wild pork meat with white noodles this time, but the other party can't afford that much at the moment, so I plan to pay it in installments.

At present, I have left a hundred catties at home, and I will go get it after I finish eating.

There is still a hundred catties, and I will ask Da Kui to take it back to my second uncle.

By the way, this is the money from the second uncle. "

As Li Weidong said, he took out a hundred or so yuan that he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket.

In this day and age, communication basically relies on writing letters.

Therefore, Li Weidong is not afraid of being exposed if he is fooling around.

Even if we wait for the Chinese New Year to get together, because of the time difference, we won't reveal our secrets.

"You child, how can you ask for your second uncle's money?" Zhang Xiuzhen said.

"I didn't intend to ask for it, but the second uncle insisted on giving it to me, so I just gave him a hundred catties of white flour, and I will use the white flour to pay for it in the future." Li Weidong explained.

"That's fine. Originally, I thought about getting some flour to exchange for some money for you."

When Zhang Xiuzhen said this, she hesitated to speak.

"Mom, just tell me if you have anything to do. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"Weidong, you said there will be white noodles next month?"

"Sure, I brought back [-] catties of wild pork this time, and only about [-] catties were left at home, and the rest, according to your advice, were all replaced with white flour.

Calculated based on one catty of wild pork and two catties of white flour, it would be almost [-] catties.

From then on, we will take back two hundred catties every month, and we will share one hundred catties with the second uncle's family. "

Li Weidong snapped his fingers and made a calculation.

Although Zhang Xiuzhen had expected it long ago, she was still a little dizzy when she heard the eight hundred catties of white flour.

Even if only half of it is left at home, it is still four hundred catties.

If you eat it open, it is definitely not enough.

But the question is, in these days, who can eat white noodles?

Not to mention white noodles, even stick noodles, you have to save them.

After a while, Zhang Xiuzhen said with some embarrassment: "Weidong, Mom wants to buy twenty catties of white flour from you. Don't worry, it will be at the price you bought from the black market."

Without waiting for Li Weidong to ask the reason, Zhang Xiuzhen explained: "It will be Xiaobin's grandma's birthday in two days. In the past, my family was in trouble, so I didn't say anything, and I never got too tight.

But since you came, the life at home has become better and better. Thanks to you, I am also much lighter.

I know……"

This time before Zhang Xiuzhen finished speaking, Li Weidong interrupted her.

"Mom, don't talk about it, it's only twenty catties of flour, and I'll pay. You don't have to ask me for money or not, we are all a family, so it's not worth mentioning."

When it comes to this point, Li Weidong will naturally not, and it is impossible to refuse.

Otherwise, the character set he had put up with great difficulty before would collapse directly.

Although it is said that the married girl poured out the water.

But it doesn't mean that there will be a clean break at the mother's side.

After all, it is the place where they were born and raised.

In the case of not having enough food for one's own family, one must first take care of one's own small family. This is what a wife and mother should look like.

But if my family is well-off and I still have enough energy, and it is in time for my mother's birthday, if I don't say anything and go empty-handed, then it really can't be justified.

So Li Weidong can understand Zhang Xiuzhen's thoughts.

Anyway, it's not that kind of Voldemort. My family is almost so poor that I can't get rid of it, and I keep moving things to my mother's house.

And as Zhang Xiuzhen mentioned her natal family, Li Weidong also found out the situation at the original owner's grandmother's house.

Grandma and grandfather passed away long ago, leaving only one uncle and one aunt.

My aunt followed her husband to the northwest, and almost lost contact with her.

And that uncle is not a worry-free master.

Not to mention Li Weidong, even the original owner may not be able to meet once a year.

Named Uncle, actually no different from a stranger.

So usually, Li Weidong wouldn't think about it at all.

As for Zhang Xiuzhen's natal family, it actually had nothing to do with him. The reason why he was willing to give the twenty catties of flour was also for Zhang Xiuzhen's sake.

For the sake of her dedication to the family.

But this kind of thing must never happen again, and he will not rush to please that side.

"No, the money must be given to you."

Zhang Xiuzhen was very determined.

After all, Li Weidong is just her stepson, unlike Li Weibin, he does not have this responsibility.

"Otherwise, I'll treat the twenty catties of white flour as a loan to you. How about returning it to me when you buy grain from the grain and oil station next month?"

Li Weidong thought of a solution that seemed reasonable.

But in fact, these white noodles are still those white noodles, and there will be no less than one or two, but they just have a different name.

"This……"

Zhang Xiuzhen suddenly didn't know what to say, and she didn't turn the corner.

"Mom, think about it, you bought the white flour from the grain book, and the shares are all from you, Xiaobin, Xiaoru, and my dad. It has nothing to do with me, right? It's yours, how should you use it? You decide for yourself."

"Forget it, I don't know where you come up with such nonsense. Just treat the white noodles as a loan from your mother, and I will pay you back later."

Zhang Xiuzhen shook her head.

I thought that when I went back to my mother's house this time, I wouldn't have to look down upon by that snobbish sister-in-law.

After she went out, Li Weidong also came to the courtyard, and first went to the east room to take a look. The masters worked hard and didn't need supervision, and they didn't cheat.

Today is day three and the roof looks brand new.

Because cement is in short supply and we don't want to make it too public, we just use cement to evenly spread the brick joints outside to ensure that there will be no water or wind leakage.

Inside, however, has changed drastically.

The beams of the house are all reinforced with wood. Although the mess is a bit ugly, the ceiling will definitely be suspended in the end.

The easiest way is to take a few wooden strips and paste them with newspapers. If the picture looks good, you can replace it with white paper.

The walls inside could not be seen for a long time because of the pile of firewood, so they were all shoveled off, plastered again with ash, and finally lime powder had to be painted to make the wall white.

And this, in the eyes of ordinary people, is already very extravagant.

After all, pasting newspapers on the walls is the mainstream now.

As for the ground, it will definitely not be according to Li Weidong's original idea. It is also a marble floor tile and a wooden floor. It only needs to be plastered with plaster.

The windows have already been repaired by a carpenter, but they are still not fixed.

What Li Weidong is most concerned about at present is undoubtedly the bathroom.

This is also the biggest project to tidy up the house this time.

Because it is necessary to dig a ditch in the yard, put pipes, and lead to the sewer in the street outside.

Although the amount of work was a bit large and a little eye-catching, this was undoubtedly Li Weidong's last insistence.

Even if this bathroom is only three or four square meters.

But at least he no longer has to go to the public toilet in the alley on winter nights, or when he has urgent need to urinate in the early morning.

In fact, people who live in the courtyard will put a urine pot in the house or at the door at night, and then empty it in the morning.

But Li Weidong really can't get used to that thing.

What's more, there is a bathroom. In summer, I put a tin bucket on the roof, fill it with water and let it dry for a day, and then I can take a bath at night.

After reading it from the inside to the outside, and making a few small requests.

Li Weidong moved the recliner to the sun and began to lie down for the last day.

Because starting tomorrow, he will report to the prison.

I don't know what's going on there either.
