Chapter 45
Once the foundation is laid, the house can be built quickly.

The donkey cart carrying red bricks from the brick kiln in Chenlou Village was unloaded in the south of the village. Some commune members in Xiaoshantun who noticed that Ji Yuanhai was building a house knew that Ji Yuanhai was going to build a brick house, and then suddenly realized it belatedly.

No wonder, Ji Yuanhai didn't pull the adobe ahead of time, but just dug the foundation and began to ram it.

The bricks were unloaded on the same day, and the mud and sand were all there, and a part of the house was built on the same day.

When I went home that day, when the family was having dinner in the main room, the grandparents, parents, and mother were all obviously a little dissatisfied—you can’t spend money like this, it’s too wasteful, right?
But the matter has come to this point, Ji Yuanhai's house has been half built, and it is impossible to say anything to stop it.

You can only complain about it afterwards.

Mother couldn't help saying a few words about waste, but Ji Yuanhai opened his mouth to analyze the benefits of brick houses.

The brick houses are bright and airy, and they are not afraid of water bubbles; the adobe houses are old, and they may be damaged by rainwater one day and collapse.

It is better to live in a brick house for a long time, it is safer to live in, and it is better than the adobe house.

“Is a brick house so good?”

After hearing this, my mother was also a little tempted: "Yuan Hai, how much money do you have at home? Can you lend me some?"

"Seeing that your brother-in-law's marriage is coming soon, if you can build a brick house, it will definitely be a sure thing."

Ji Yuanhai twitched the corners of his mouth, pretending he didn't hear it, and continued to eat with his head down.

No money, no money.

"Yuan Hai, you just say something, I will lend you the money, it's not that I won't pay you back!" Mother asked.

"I have to catch some fish after dinner." Ji Yuanhai answered irrelevantly.

Again!
Why did I give birth to such a stubborn donkey!

Mother was so angry that she looked at Lu Heling: "Heling, tell me!"

Lu Heling put down her chopsticks and looked at her, showing an awkward yet polite smile: "Mother, I'll listen to Yuan Hai."

Both of them will make people angry!

Mother lost her appetite, so she put down the half-baked cornbread angrily.

"You're full, right?" Grandma scolded her, "Don't eat if you don't want to eat."

Mother was unhappy and wanted to go back to the east room.

"Go after washing the dishes!" Grandma reminded her.

Mother had to sit down and wait to wash the dishes.

..........................................

Ji Yuanhai went to catch fish after dinner, but Lu Heling knew that he would come back soon after catching fish, so he didn't follow.

When Ji Yuanhai came back from catching fish, he passed by Widow Liu's house again.

Wang Xiaohong had already fallen asleep at the door.

Widow Liu was shaking her cattail fan to repel mosquitoes for Wang Xiaohong.

Seeing that Ji Yuanhai was going home, Widow Liu stood up involuntarily: "Yuanhai..."

Calling the Empress of the Era to stop, she didn't know what she was going to say.

"Yuan Hai, your family wants to build a brick house?"

"Well, I'm going to build a brick house." Ji Yuanhai replied, "After the building is completed, the family will be separated."

"Oh." Widow Liu responded, "That's good..."

No more words.

If she had no other thoughts, she could still get along with Ji Yuanhai normally, and she could joke and talk; but she had a different thought, and before she said something, she would think it over and over again in her heart, and then she would become verbal. clumsy.

After finally remembering something, Widow Liu reminded: "Yuan Hai, you have to be careful."

"I saw you building a brick house today, and your second uncle was gossiping about you to outsiders, saying that your grandpa gave all your money, saying that you took advantage of everything and spent all the money your grandpa had saved all his life."

"The money should have belonged to the three of them as their sons, and he also had a share; your grandfather was partial and gave it to your grandson."

After hearing this, Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but snort coldly.

What a second uncle!
Before he didn't distinguish between good and bad, he talked nonsense about Ji Yuanhai and watched jokes, Ji Yuanhai was already bored with him; this time it was good, he just kept his mouth open and talked about this ridiculous property distribution with outsiders.

You must know that grandfather's division of family is always the most fair. Not only did he complain about Ji Yuanhai, but Ji Yuanhai's grandfather and his father also complained.

What does it mean to "make people laugh with your own affairs and let others talk about them"?
That's it!

And his wretched temperament—in a few years, he will be beaten until he hides and peeps at a woman going to the dry toilet.

His second aunt, Wang Fenglan, was so embarrassed by him that his two children, Ji Yuanhong and Ji Yuanbing, were laughed at by the children in the same village. They fought and cursed all day long and never learned well again.

Even grandpa and grandma were so angry that one was bedridden for several days, the other was dizzy, and they no longer had the tough and healthy body they are now.

This second uncle is really a disaster!
If there is a chance, he has to be honest.

"I see, Liu Xianglan, thank you for reminding me." Ji Yuanhai said to Liu Xianglan.

Liu Xianglan thought for a while, and then said: "Your mother was chatting with Wang Laoer and Wang Laosan at the entrance of the team today. I heard a few sentences, and it seemed to be about your uncle and Wang Jinhua."

"Prepare for them to officially meet tomorrow."

Ji Yuanhai was a little surprised when he heard this, his mother didn't talk about it today.

By the way, she said that my brother-in-law is getting married, but she didn't go into details.

Mainly because of Ji Yuanhai's brick house and grandma's scolding, she was not in the mood to speak.

"I don't know about this either. I have to thank you more, Liu Xianglan." Ji Yuanhai said.

"You're welcome, you're really welcome, I should thank you well."

Liu Xianglan said quickly: "You saved both our mother's life, I should thank you no matter what!"

"If there is anything to say in the village, as long as I hear it, I will tell you everything."

"Other things, as long as I can help, I will definitely be willing to help you!"

Ji Yuanhai nodded and asked: "How have you been eating these days? The child is not hungry anymore, is he?"

After hearing this, Liu Xianglan said, "I'm not hungry, I can barely eat enough."

This is not true. If she had more money in her hands, she wouldn't have been so hungry that she screamed in the middle of the night.

Ji Yuanhai could also guess it, and stretched out his hand to untie a silver carp and handed it to her.

"Take it and eat it, don't starve the child."

Liu Xianglan shook her head.

Ji Yuanhai said: "Take it! Is it more important, the face or the belly?"

Liu Xianglan took the silver carp and remained silent.

"Then I'm leaving..."

"Don't go yet," Liu Xianglan hurried up, grabbed his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Yuan Hai, do you think I'm unlucky?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "If I feel that you are unlucky, I won't give you any fish, and I won't even talk to you."

"If you don't think I'm unlucky."

Liu Xianglan walked over and approached Era Sea.

"You...how about..."

Before Ji Yuanhai could say anything, she got closer and closer.

After a while, Liu Xianglan reminded Ji Yuanhai softly: "I'm unlucky, I can't say, I'm really a broom star..."

"Don't pass on bad luck to you."

Ji Yuanhai withdrew his palm, Liu Xianglan straightened her undershirt again, and said in a low voice, "Yuanhai, I won't tell anyone about this, and neither should you."

"It doesn't matter if I make people laugh, your reputation is still clean now."

"Your daughter-in-law is from the city. If she gets angry and runs away, you will have no wife..."
