I am doing construction in the cultivation world

Chapter 91
It's winter, and this is Zeng Xiaohua's first return to Chaihe County since she left home.

The current Chaihe County has also undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. Rows of buildings are lined up on both sides of the wide streets. Although the market is not as fast as the city, it has also included a wide variety of "imported" commodities.

Zeng Xiaohua followed the direction in her memory to the original location of her home, but found that an apartment building was already being built here, and the original house had long since disappeared.

Now that she has completed her Qi Condensation, she plans to ask for leave to come back to visit her home. During the Chinese New Year, she will probably have to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Pill. When she thinks of facing her catastrophe, she can't help but clenched her little hands tightly.

I haven’t contacted my family for half a year, and I don’t know how Guabao is doing at Shengjing Temple. I didn’t see Master Yishan when I returned to the villa from Yufeng Mountain this time, and I don’t know that Guabao hasn’t contacted his family either.

Seeing a few uncles dressed as workers resting and chatting outside the construction site, she was thinking about her mind and didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. She stepped forward and asked politely:

"Hello, uncles! Excuse me, where have all the original people here gone?"

A few rough guys covered in mud were chatting about dirty jokes. When they suddenly saw this little girl with an extraordinary bearing, they immediately stopped talking. One of them, who was a little older, opened his mouth full of yellow teeth and smiled:

"Miss, these upstarts have taken the money for demolition. It's not their business where they want to go? How can we dig the ground and fill the bricks?"

"So, thanks anyway!"

After Zeng Xiaohua finished speaking, she threw out a piece of broken silver as a thank you. This was specially exchanged by someone before she came here. Her moon silver was the whole ingot. Although she was practicing in Yufeng Mountain, after returning to the villa, Daxuan still gave her half a year's Lingshi, and Li Wenchang also gave her half a year's moon silver. She didn't want it at first, but they said that everyone took it like this. If she didn't take it, how could others have the nerve to take it?

In the end, it was Li Wenchang who said solemnly, "This is the order of the young master." She reluctantly put it away.

Needless to say, spirit stones are hard to find in the world, even if you hold gold, you may not be able to buy them. She was actually shocked by the bag of silver in the storage bag.

In previous years, when the family was the richest, it was just watching my father go to the bank and deposit more than 30 taels of silver, but my monthly income for half a year actually amounted to more than 320 taels.

In fact, the pocket money Tang Xiao ordered for them at the beginning was two taels of silver a month, but Li Wenchang Daxuan and the two players couldn't stand it. The more money they earned, the more money they earned, and their business began to be exported across the country, including red envelopes during the holidays. He Yueli's money couldn't help but increase with the increase in dividends, so the children who did nothing but practiced cultivation were able to save 300 taels of silver in half a year.

Tang Xiao was not afraid of them spending recklessly. After all, there were people to control them. The children had no worries about food and clothing. Most of them deposited their money with Li Wenchang. Zeng Xiaohua also thought of going home, so she took all the money with her. , I have no place to spend it, my parents can spend it.

When I went back to the villa, I went to the city with Tang Xiaosi, and met Qian Si who had returned from begging for food in other places. As soon as the old Lai saw him, he posted it. If Tang Xiaosi was not accompanied by the fierce Guapi brother I'm afraid that Lao Lai will pick Tang Xiaosi up and shake him, shake out all the valuables on his body and take him away.

In fact, Tang Xiaosi has cultivated himself, and he is no longer the eight-year-old kid who has no power to restrain a chicken, but this gambler is his father, he can't let himself be too hard on him, he didn't recognize Qian Si , let people drive him out of the city, after all, there is no gambling house in the city, so it is not suitable for him.

Tang Xiaosi went back to the city to visit his mother. Although after the city was newly built, the marriage established by the business relationship was not recognized, but that old man Zhang was very kind to his mother. These days old man Zhang was together was a peaceful life that she had never lived, so the two officially signed a marriage certificate in the Yamen and became a legal couple.

After eating a home-cooked meal at Tang Xiaosi's mother's house, Zeng Xiaohua missed her parents very much. Chaihe County is so close, she wished she could run home immediately and cook a delicious meal for her parents Yes, so she returned to the villa and took a few days off, and set foot on the road back to Chaihe County alone.

……

Seeing that he got the pieces of silver with a casual answer, several other rough guys cast envious looks at Dahuang Ya. In the past, if the guarantee was not complete, some people would have their own ideas, but it is different now. The security guards sent by the Yamen There are police officers and patrol teams everywhere, and there are many monks inside. Life is better outside now, and it is easy to make money. In this environment, no one is willing to break the law easily.

Zeng Xiaohua's disappointed figure hadn't gone far when she heard a somewhat familiar voice with her hearing far superior to that of ordinary people.

"Old Zeng, look, the girl who just talked to Liu Da and the others looks like your little flower."

"No way! My little flower went to cultivate with the immortals. How can I come back easily?"

Zeng Guangxian wore a safety helmet on his head and pushed a cart of cement. Although he said this, he couldn't help but look in the direction where his old neighbor was talking.

When he looked at it, he happened to meet the eyes of Zeng Xiaohua who turned around.

Zeng Guangxian froze on the spot and subconsciously wiped the mud on his face with his sleeve, but there was a lot of cement on his sleeve, which made his face even dirtier.

Zeng Xiaohua saw her father in his 30s from a distance pushing the cement station on the construction site in a dirty suit. His tanned skin and unshaven face were far from the decent father she remembered who was running a small business. , everyone's life has changed for the better, why does my father seem to be more miserable than before? !

She rushed over with red eyes.

Zeng Guangxian anxiously searched left and right, and blurted out "Oops!"

The old neighbor who moved bricks together was surprised:

"What happened?"

Zeng Guangxian wanted to find a place to hide, and finally squatted directly behind the cement truck, and whispered:

"Shhh! It seems like she is really my daughter!"

"Then what are you hiding from?"

"Also, I'm like this..."

"father!"

Before Zeng Guangxian finished speaking, Zeng Xiaohua had easily stepped over the construction site fence and stood in front of his cement truck. While shouting, tears could not help but fall down.

The old neighbor at the side saw Zeng Xiaohua, who was dressed in brocade clothes, and said with a smile:

"What a little flower! It seems that you don't have to come to the construction site with me to find work in the future."

As he spoke, he lightly kicked Zeng Guangxian who was squatting on the ground.

Hearing his daughter's choking voice, Zeng Guangxian stuck his head out and looked at his daughter who was born like a young lady with sore eyes. He laughed dryly and said:

"Oops! Xiaohua is back? You can't do this on this construction site..."

As he spoke, he was about to take off the helmet and hand it to Zeng Xiaohua. When he took it off and saw the dirty hat in his hand, he retracted his hand and said:
"Lao Deng, please give me a day off. I'm going home first."

After saying that, he walked forward:

"Come on, let's go home and talk."

He patted the ashes on his hands, and walked to the front, lest his dirty hands could not help staining his daughter's clothes, but who knew that Zeng Xiaohua hugged him:
"Father! My daughter is not filial. I didn't come back to see you earlier. Didn't you say that the demolition paid a lot of money? Why are you on this construction site?"

Hearing his daughter's crying question, Zeng Guangxian's expression softened, he turned around and stretched out his dirty hand to pat Zeng Xiaohua's head, but he stopped in mid-air, fearing that his daughter's hair would be dirty. Put his big hand on his head:

"My daughter is a monk now! She is not afraid of getting dirty!"

"real?!"

Zeng Guangxian's eyes brightened. He originally thought that it would take at least three to five years for his daughter to follow the immortals before she would have the opportunity to practice. Unexpectedly, only half a year later, she was already a monk.

Zeng Guangxian took his daughter back home in a newly built five-story apartment, a small house with two bedrooms and one living room.

This is the distribution of Zeng Xiaohua's grandmother's old house demolition.

Seeing Zeng Xiaohua come back, her mother and grandmother were very happy and wanted to make stew for her. She drove them out of the kitchen, took out the ingredients she brought with her from the storage bag, and made a big table for them. Although her immortal dishes are not comparable to Afan's craftsmanship, she is very talented and is already a second-grade immortal cook. She can easily cook an ordinary immortal dish that can be eaten by mortals.

Grandma and parents, who originally had a lot to say at the dinner table, forgot to say anything for a moment because of the delicious food they had never tasted before. The family worked hard on the meal, and until the cups and plates were bottomed, grandma touched Zeng Xiaohua's head lovingly and happily. of said:
"Xiaohua, didn't you follow the immortal to cultivate immortality? You don't know how to learn to be a cook, do you?! It's so delicious!"

Looking at her grandmother who was obviously in better spirits, Zeng Xiaohua told her family about her practice and learning about fairy cooking.

The whole family was very happy. Although they didn't understand why the cook was related to cultivating immortals, her craftsmanship was not something ordinary people could taste. In short, it was better than what they had imagined before, working at home and getting married when they grew up.

After Zeng Xiaohua finished talking about her practice, it was the turn of her father Zeng Guangxian and mother Liu Wan to talk about the family affairs.

It turns out that ever since her siblings left, the uncle's family urged the old man to say that Zeng Guangxian was unfilial and sent all his children away. He was not qualified to inherit the family's appearance and house. The old man didn't know what he was thinking, but actually took back the appearance After leaving, Zeng Guangxian had no choice but to spend money to rent a storefront and continue doing business.

But there are a lot of new gadgets coming from the city, and the old things in his hands will soon be sold out, and he has been to the city a few times, but the supply job said that at least 100 taels of order will be delivered, he thinks This business can be done. After all, the goods in the city sell very well, so I came back and made a calculation with Liu Wan, sold the old house, and collected enough 100 taels to place an order.

Who knew that guy would charge him money for his relationship, otherwise he would have to give 20 taels of silver as a deposit, and the guy would ask for 20 taels as soon as he opened his mouth. He didn't get it right, and returned to Chaihe County in disgrace, planning to use the money in his hand to do something else.

This day was unlucky, the old man in the family was learning to practice Buddhist incense offerings outside, so he got himself into it somehow, and was caught in the yamen with a large group of monks, and he had to pay a large fine. It was donated to the Buddhist temple by the old man, where there is money to salvage people, so the 100 taels in their hands suddenly became the old man's life-saving money.

The old man was rescued and became seriously ill. He lives with the uncle of the Zeng family, and he is still a little nervous.

Later, the construction team came to the city and said that they would recruit a large number of workers. The wages were high and the benefits were not bad. Zeng Guangxian thought that he had to make some money, so he went to the construction site. Quite tired, but his income is not much worse than when he started his business, so he accidentally did a few more months of work...
