Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 46

Liu Xianglan was cautious, fearing that her bad luck would be passed on to Ji Yuan Hai, and she also helped Ji Yuan Hai.

Ji Yuanhai responded, saying:

"If you don't have enough to eat in the future, tell me again, you two won't be hungry."

Liu Xianglan said in a low voice: "It's okay, we can support as long as we can, and this is how we live in the past; if we really want to be seen by others, that would be bad."

"Then there's no need to be so lucky."

When Ji Yuanhai said something, Liu Xianglan just shook her head.

After all, the days ahead are long, and Ji Yuanhai didn't persuade her again, just take your time.

Carrying the fish, he walked back to the village. After walking past the team headquarters, Ji Yuanhai pondered for a while, then turned around to the door of the Seventh Uncle's house, knocked on the door and gave the Seventh Uncle a carp.

The seventh uncle and the seventh aunt both smiled happily: "Yuan Hai, what are you doing?"

"I caught another fish today, and this carp is the biggest." Ji Yuanhai said, "I brought it to you."

"You...how embarrassed! Such a big carp!" said the seventh uncle.

Ji Yuanhai handed him the fish, and after a little hesitation, the seventh uncle finally accepted the fish and invited Ji Yuanhai to come in and sit down.

Ji Yuanhai waved his hand: "Seventh Lord, I won't sit down, you should rest earlier!"

After speaking, he said goodbye and left.

After he left, the seventh uncle and the seventh aunt closed the door to discuss.

"Why did this child send another carp? Are you so sincere?" Seventh Aunt put the carp away and said.

"He's shrewd." The seventh uncle said, "They're all from the Ji family. He is willing to get close to us, so of course we should get close to him."

"Where there is help in the future, as long as it is not too difficult, then help him."

The seventh lady nodded: "That's the truth."

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

After returning home and putting away the fish, Ji Yuanhai returned to the West Room to rest.

The next day, I continued to build the house.

Chen Liang and three men built the brick wall first, and Ji Yuanhai ordered the beams.

When I returned to the village, I happened to meet Wang's second son sending Ji Yuanhai's uncle, a "scene man" from Chenlou Village, out of the village, and Ji Yuanhai's mother followed.

Today is indeed Uncle Ji Yuanhai and Wang Jinhua meeting and looking at each other.

As long as there is no strong opposition, the matter of marriage is basically settled.

Rural "scene people", that is, "capable people", belong to people in the village who also serve as hospitality, master of ceremonies, and are good at various rural etiquette.

There is no "person of the scene" to smooth things over and say some beautiful scene words, and it is inevitable that the two parties will be awkward when they meet.

Today Ji Yuanhai's uncle was introduced by Ji Yuanhai's mother, led by the "scene person" of Chenlou village, and came to see someone.

As for whether the two parties were satisfied or not, Ji Yuanhai couldn't tell.

Anyway, Ji Yuanhai took advantage of the situation and pushed things to this point, which is considered his best effort.

The Wang family and my uncle didn't know that there was Ji Yuanhai's pulling effect.

Today, the walls of two houses have been built up, and the beams and roofs are waiting to be put on.

During dinner, Ji Yuanhai talked about the progress of building his own house.

Grandpa understood as soon as he heard it: "Going up the beam is a laborious job, and three or four people are not enough."

"On the day I went to the beam, I, your father, your elder brother, and your second and third uncles all came to help, and it will be fine once we get on the beam."

"Well, Grandpa, I'm going to catch more fish and buy some meat so that everyone can have a good meal." Ji Yuanhai nodded.

Grandpa immediately said: "Fish meat is not bad, it is also meaty, there is no need to buy meat."

The main reason is that it is too expensive to buy meat, and Ji Yuanhai does not need a penny to catch fish.

After Ji Yuanhai answered, grandma asked her mother, "How do your brothers see each other today?"

The mother replied: "Wang Laoer's side is okay, I am very happy."

"My brother thinks that Wang Jinhua is not good-looking, but I also told her that what rural people want to look good is mainly because they have strength to work."

"My brother couldn't work since he was a child, so he had to find a strong daughter-in-law to help earn work points."

"My parents agree with this matter."

After hearing this, grandma didn't say much: "You're right in thinking, this matter is probably going to happen."

The mother said happily: "I think so, the woman has no objection, she just asks for a bicycle and a sewing machine."

Bicycles, sewing machines... This is a lot, adding up to more than 200 yuan.

Grandma didn't ask any more questions—if she continued, Ji Yuanhai's mother might have to ask for a loan, so she might as well not talk about it.

Probably because her natal family still had savings, or they could raise enough money, so my mother didn't speak again this time.

After another night, Lu Heling got up in the morning and pushed Ji Yuanhai reproachfully.

The reason is very simple, last night Ji Yuanhai got a little angry, indulged in a moment, and overdid it.

Lu Heling didn't rest until morning.

Today is the fifth day of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow is the sixth day of the lunar month.

So Ji Yuanhai didn't have to build a house today, and he also went to work with the production team.

As soon as they got together, many members of the Ji family with the same surname asked Ji Yuanhai about building a house.

Some praised Ji Yuanhai for building the brick house, some were surprised and envious, and some were concerned about how well the house was built.

"Second Master, the brick wall is finished, now we have to wait for the roof beams..."

"Well, third uncle, the house is almost built..."

Ji Yuanhai greeted everyone.

When they met Liu Xianglan, they greeted each other without saying much.

It was another day of work, passing by the team headquarters in the evening, the seventh uncle smiled and handed a letter to Ji Yuanhai: "Yuan Hai, your letter!"

Ji Yuanhai opened it and saw that it was Mr. Wang who wrote back, praising him for his orchid-like gentlemanly style and noble character, and said that he would wait for him to go to the county to give instructions on planting flowers and plants.

After Ji Yuanhai read it, he handed it to Lu Heling.

Lu Heling smiled and said, "This old gentleman is really a flower fanatic."

"This is your chance too."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, this is an opportunity..."

"He Ling, when the house is built, we will move out. Whether it is to go to the county to make money or to study for exams, we don't have to be like this now."

Lu Heling also had hope in her eyes, looking forward to the arrival of this day.

That night, Ji Yuanhai deliberately caught dozens of catties of fish, leaving one for Liu Xianglan, the seventh uncle gave one, and kept the rest at home for future use.

On the sixth day, go to the beam.

Grandpa said that the whole family will not be working today, and they will help the Jiyuan Sea to build the beams.

Even Uncle Ji Yuanhai's second uncle and third uncle's family came to help with the beams.

Chen Liang first tapped on the beams of the house, and told Ji Yuanhai about the twists and turns inside.

Some are taboos, while others are signs of going up to the rafters.

He also gave Ji Yuanhai a writing brush, and asked Ji Yuanhai to write the date of building the house, his own name, and Chen Liangxian's name on the beams; if anything happened to the house, Chen Liangxian would be responsible.

Finally, a piece of red paper was affixed to the beam, which said: "Lucky stars shine brightly."

By noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Ladders, ropes, all ready, Ji Yuanhai and a Chen Lou master were riding on the wall, waiting to meet the beams.

On the opposite wall are Ji Yuanhai's father and third uncle.

Chen Liang first stood beside the ladder to direct, and the other work masters, Grandpa Ji Yuanhai, Ji Yuanshan, Second Uncle Ji Yuanhai, and a few strong laborers who were called temporarily, grabbed the rope.

"Good luck, let's go!"

Chen Liang shouted first, and the people below exerted their strength to pull up the beams with the red paper "Auspicious Stars Shine".

The beams slowly rise.
