Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 203: Moving reinforcements, asking for support

There are a total of [-] pages of bricks. If Li Muyang, Li Muyun, Mi Dama, and Qinqin were to unload them, it would not be impossible to unload them, but it would just take a long time.

For a person who has never put in much effort, if he keeps doing this, his body will probably be disabled by the end of the day. It is not certain whether he can move in the next few days, let alone work in the fields again.

Li Muyang felt this was unnecessary.

He let Mi Tutu rest for a while, and then he called some people to come over and unload together, which would not only speed up the process, but also make people feel more relaxed.If we hurry, we can bring back the remaining car today.

His first choice was to find his eldest brother and second brother, but as soon as he turned out of his own lane, he saw the Xue family's sister-in-law walking towards him.

"Shepherd, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm going to call my brother to come over and help me unload the bricks."

"It turns out that the cart of bricks just now was pulled for you. Let me tell you, who bought these bricks? It will cost a lot of money to buy such a big cart, right?"

"Fortunately, we went to Xialin Village some time ago. Didn't they tell us that we need to build a house here? If we don't build it, we won't be able to marry the girl back."

"That's true. But I remember it seemed like it was before the end of the year. How could you start planning so quickly and make money?"

"I made some money and borrowed some money. So what should I do? If I don't make money, I still have to build it. Sooner or later, you say no. Build it sooner and make money to pay back to others."

The neighborly relationship between Li Muyang and the Xue family's sister-in-law is not particularly good, but it is not bad. After meeting, he can be polite, but he does not want to tell her his true situation.

For the Xue family's sister-in-law, maybe Li Muyang's family is poorer, which can make her more enthusiastic. If her life is pretty good, this relationship will disappear.

This is the complexity of human nature.

Don't underestimate life in the countryside. If you really want to live well, it's not as easy as in the city.

The most primitive temperament is the hardest to figure out.

"Oh, that's okay, then hurry up and do it. Your partner is quite nice. She looks like a good woman who manages the house. When the time comes, you have to treat her well and don't let her down. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble. There is no way to go back to Xialin Village."

This is what matchmakers often say.

They are the best at building close relationships with everyone. It seems that they have relatives in the surrounding villages, and they are all their relatives.

When she said this to Li Muyang, she did not necessarily really hope that Li Muyang would live a better life in the future, but she once again emphasized her importance.

This means that if she had not been the matchmaker, Li Muyang would not have had a good chance of finding a good wife and mother, thus leaving more of a good impression on him as a good matchmaker.

"Is your mother at home?"

"Here, where can her body go?"

"Okay, I'll go find her and have sex with her. It's been a while since I came back. I've always said I'd like to come and see her, but I haven't had time to spare."

"Then go ahead, sister-in-law, Qinqin is also at home."

"Okay, then keep busy."

Li Muyang continued to walk forward and met a few more people on the road. They took the initiative to say hello to him, which surprised him.

He had often walked this road before, and almost didn't meet a few people talking to him along the way.Even if they meet, everyone just nods. Sometimes they don't even nod, they just pass by each other, as if they don't know each other.

But when he left today, people became much more enthusiastic. Several people greeted him, but he couldn't even name them.

This forced him to believe what others said. Now he was somewhat famous in the village and had a small sense of accomplishment.

Not to mention how much money they make, it is unimaginable for many villagers to send an old woman who obviously has little hope of living on the kang to the hospital and be cured so that she can not only talk but also sit up.

With Yuan Rufeng returning home these days, the matter has spread in the village, gaining favor from some elderly people and filial children.

Others, when they saw the carts pulling bricks today, they remembered that Li Muyang had been building roads some time ago, and suddenly felt that this man was unusually generous. They had really underestimated him before.

They were all curious about him and wanted to find out why he became so arrogant and how could he suddenly become rich despite being an honest and honest person.

When he was down and out, Li Muyang was not affected too much by others' indifference to him. He lived his life how he thought he should.

If he is poor and others don't want to deal with him, he doesn't need to care. He won't be cynical because of it and feel that he is unfair and others are awesome.

Now that his life is better, others are showing enthusiasm towards him again, and he is not particularly pretentious either.It's like taking the opportunity to slap someone in the face, which is completely unnecessary.

You live your own life. What hasn’t changed is you, but you have become someone else. Even if there are any problems, they are other people’s problems.

When others chatted with him and said hello, he said hello. When others stopped to chat, he would also say a few words, and then politely say goodbye to others, without any condescension or the mentality of a nouveau riche.On the contrary, the villagers felt that he was unfathomable.

When we arrived at the second brother's house, he was picking peppers in the field with his second sister-in-law and the two children at home.

There are about three to four fields of peppers planted in front of their door, all of which are long string peppers. Now that it is the season between summer and autumn, the peppers are starting to turn red, and a batch is picked almost every day.

People will use ropes to string chili peppers and hang them under the eaves.After letting the air dry, use a tool called a grinder to grind it into fine powder, which is chili powder, and use it to add cooked oil and spicy food.

Unlike later generations who bought and sold green peppers in supermarkets and other places, almost every household in rural areas grew peppers, so green peppers were not sold well, mainly red peppers.

The same goes for people who buy red peppers. When they buy red peppers, they hang them up and save them for winter.

People in Qingcheng don’t eat chili peppers as well as in Guichuan, or even as well as in Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi, but they still like to eat them.If they don't eat chili pepper in a meal, they will feel that the food is tasteless.

"Second brother and second sister-in-law, you are busy."

"It's Lao Wu, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Li Mudi and Zhao Yali both stood up from the ground, patted the soil on their bodies, and asked with a smile.

Now not only Zhao Yali, but also the relationship between Li Mudi and Li Muyang has improved a lot after her mother's incident.

When he came to see his second brother before, he didn't have this kind of enthusiasm. He usually ignored him, as if he ate from their family because he didn't pay back the money he owed them.

"Oh, I have to build a house recently, so I bought some bricks. Now that I'm back, I want to ask my second sister-in-law and second brother to help me unload the bricks. The amount is really too big, and I am a little busy. "

"Oh, you bought bricks. Why did you hear the noise on the road just now? It's because the car you bought bricks came over."

Zhao Yali smiled.

The road is not very smooth these days, and the village is not big. As long as a car passes by, the bumps can be heard by the whole village.

"It's mine. The car is parked in front of our house now. There are more than 2 pages."

"More than 2 yuan, why did you buy so many bricks? Can't you just pave the waterproof hilltop with bricks?"

Zhao Yali asked puzzledly.The so-called hilltop refers to the wide side of the house, that is, the short section. In the early years, the buildings here were like hoop cave dwellings. The long side was hooped first, then the short side was covered, and finally the gap was closed in the middle. .

Because houses are generally built facing south, the hills are in the east and west respectively. In summer and autumn, southeast winds tend to blow. If it rains, the wind will continuously wash away the east side with rain.

Therefore, even though many houses are built with civil construction, people still choose to cover the east side with bricks in order to extend the actual life of the house.

"What do you know? In the past, people only paved the east side because they didn't have the money to buy so many bricks. Now, life is different from before. Many newly built houses are made entirely of bricks. Everything looks like our home This is how life goes.”

Li Mudi complained about his wife.

Their yard was pretty good before. After all, he was a well-known bricklayer within a few dozen miles around. There would be some people coming to help him, and the bricks he bought were relatively cheap.

But except for the bricks next to the front gatehouse, his courtyard wall is all made of earth.At that time, the construction style with all bricks at the back was not yet popular, so it was already quite advanced at the time.

If ordinary people wanted to build a house like Li Mudi's, it would have been difficult to afford it at that time. He just relied on his own work in this area, which reduced a lot of labor and other expenses, and got an advantage.

Li Muyang's house was built with all bricks and tiles. Of course Li Mudi knew it, but he didn't tell Zhao Yali carefully. Zhao Yali was still kept in the dark, so she became curious.

"Okay, let's unload the bricks first."

Li Mudi tore off the plastic paper surrounding his body and threw it aside. Seeing this, Zhao Yali followed suit and told Li Muyang a few times about the child before beckoning Li Muyang back.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, you go over first. I have to call out to eldest brother and sister-in-law when I go. Otherwise, if there are not many people, we will be too tired and we won't be able to lift our waists. What should we do?"

"Okay, then go ahead and shout. Your second sister-in-law and I will go to your house to unload it first."

"Well, Lao Liu and the others are all here."

After leaving my second brother's house, Li Muyang came to his eldest brother's house again.

The eldest brother is processing a farm tool specially used to sow seeds. This is called a basket, which can be pulled by animals or people.

My sister-in-law was helping, and she was a little surprised to see him coming.

The main reason is that Li Muyang is not the kind of person who likes to have relationships.

Some people like to move around to ensure that the relationship is not cold, but Li Muyang is relatively introverted and does not like to hang around other people's homes for nothing, which is a bit like the social anxiety of later generations.

He would only go there if he had no choice but to make a last resort.

Li Muyang told them what he said to Li Mudi again.

"Lao Wu, you are so fast. Your life is going well. You have to start building a house so soon."

Sister-in-law Milan Lan smiled half-heartedly.

"Isn't this still about getting a wife? Sister-in-law, you don't know. Last time we went on a blind date, my parents said that they would definitely build the house before the end of the year. It's not too early now. If you don't plan early, it will take a while. Isn’t it impossible to do anything if time is frozen?”

"I didn't say you can't build it. Why are you telling me this? Okay. If you want us to help, then go ahead. Shopkeeper, stop what you are doing and come back to work on it."

"it is good."

Li Mutian threw the tools aside.

He has always been like this, he is more obedient to his wife, and it is because of his personality that he can get along well with Milan Lan's fiery temper.

"Mom, dad, Wu Da, I'll go and help too."

Nephew Li Yongzhong came out of the door.

"What are you going to do?" Milan Lan said angrily.

"I can help. Unloading bricks is not a particularly strenuous job."

Li Yongzhong seemed very disapproving.

"Okay. If that's what you want to say, then go ahead. If you don't get there, you have to work hard. If you get tired after just a few strokes, I won't let you go."

"Don't worry, mother, I'm already 17 years old. What's the point of unloading bricks? Sooner or later, you have to work, don't you think?"

"Okay, that's good if you guys say so. Anyway, if you don't live up to your expectations, you will be a hard worker in the future. It would be good to get some exercise as soon as possible."

"Very good."

For Li Yongzhong, working is much more comfortable than studying.

All you need to do is put some effort into the work, and you don't have to use your brain at all. Just do what others ask you to do.

Studying is too troublesome, and he may not be able to learn it after studying for a long time. He knows the things in the book, but he does not know the knowledge.

Therefore, instead of feeling that unloading bricks is a hard work, I feel very excited, as if it is some kind of reward.

Li Muyang couldn't help but feel funny when he saw his nephew's stupidity.

This kid obviously doesn't know the hardships of life yet. Even though his sister-in-law is like that, she has protected her children very well and hasn't let them do too much work since they were young.

On the contrary, in my previous life, my children suffered a lot.

"Wuda, let's go faster."

On the way home, Li Yongzhong and Li Muyang walked in front.

Although he is only 17 years old, his head is already a little taller than Li Muyang.From time to time, he held Li Muyang's arm, trying to get further away from his parents.

Since he had this idea and was so enthusiastic, Li Muyang must meet the requirements, so the two of them left quickly.

When the group of four returned home, they found that the bricks on the car had begun to be unloaded.

There were six people in total, two in the car and four under the car, divided into two groups, and they were having sex in full swing.

Mi Tutu is also very loyal and helps us work together.

Under normal circumstances, drivers like them don't actually need to help unload the truck. They are only responsible for pulling the goods over and sitting back and watching.

Li Muyang and others also joined in.

While the truck was being unloaded, some people stood on the side of the road to watch.

Many people didn't feel it at first, but when they saw more and more bricks on the ground, directly surrounding the entire ground, they realized that there were so many bricks.

It's too exaggerated. There are so many bricks to build turrets! !
