Chapter 23 Chicken Soup for the Soul for Yang Qingsi

Ok?
Yang Xingyu turned to look at Yang Qingsi. He was surprised that Yang Qingsi would ask him to help him repair the roof. He was afraid of heights and did not dare to go up to the roof, so he never repaired it?Not because of laziness?
Yang Xingyu's thoughts changed, "Brother, then half of your toilet has collapsed. It has been several years and it hasn't been repaired? You don't have to climb high to repair the toilet, right?"

Yang Qingsi frowned and said: "There is a toilet, what can be repaired? Anyway, my, my field is behind my house, and there is no one else's house next to my house, so I, I just pull... Pulling it in the field also saves the time of applying fertilizer. Besides, my main house is leaking and I haven't repaired it yet! What kind of toilet should I repair?"

Yang Xingyu: "???"

This reason was so good that Yang Xingyu didn't know how to refute it.

But after thinking about it carefully, I still feel that my uncle is too lazy, and what he said just now is all an excuse for laziness.

If everyone does what he does, who in the countryside will need to build toilets?

After a few seconds of silence, Yang Xingyu lowered his head and continued working. While working, he asked casually: "How do you want to renovate it? Should you remove all the tiles on the roof and re-roof it? Or what?"

"It's going to cost a lot of money if it's all exposed, right? Xiao-Xiaoyu, you study a lot, er, can you give me an estimate of how much it will cost! I-I have a hand Just three thousand yuan, no, I don’t know if it’s enough!”

Yang Qingsi said these words with a smile on his face.

Yang Xingyu glanced at him and felt that the opportunity to reform him had appeared.

"Three thousand dollars is enough to renovate the roof. But, man, you spent all the money on renovating the roof. How will you live in the future? No food or water? What if you get a minor illness or disaster?" Why do you want to see a doctor? Are you planning to wait at home to die?"

Yang Qingsi's expression changed slightly, as if he was frightened by Yang Xingyu's assumed situation.

He hesitated and said: "Then, then I won't, won't cultivate?"

Yang Xingyu lowered his head to install the squat toilet, and then began to lay the bathroom floor tiles. While working, he chuckled, "Don't repair it? Before your toilet collapsed, it also started leaking, right?"

Yang Qingsi hummed.

Yang Xingyu: "So, when your toilet leaked, you didn't fix it, and then it collapsed. Now your main house also started to leak. I heard it has been leaking for several years. If you still don't fix it, don't worry. When will the main house collapse? If you happen to be in the house when it collapses, then we won't have to bury you again."

This was what he wanted to scare Yang Qingsi.

Because before the sudden death of Yang Qingsi in the original time and space, the three main houses had not collapsed.

But how could Yang Qingsi know this?
What his nephew just said made Yang Qingsi turn pale with fright. Although he was lazy, he had not lived enough and did not want to die early.

"Then, what should we do? What, what can we do?"

He was out of ideas.

Yang Xingyu skillfully laid pieces of non-slip tiles on the floor. Glancing at the frightened uncle next to him, Yang Xingyu sighed softly, "Let's do this! When the decoration here is finished, I will take some time to help you first." Fix the leaky area on the roof and make it stop leaking for the time being. Then what! When I start cooking roast duck here, you can come over and help every day, such as plucking the duck's feathers and so on. Then I will give you 200 every month. The salary of [-] yuan is considered as giving you an opportunity to make money, would you consider it?"

Yang Qingsi frowned again.

He has become accustomed to laziness over the years. If he hadn't starved to death if he didn't farm, the little farmland he had at home would have been abandoned long ago.

"Plucking, plucking duck feathers? I, how can I pluck duck feathers? I, I can't!" Yang Qingsi subconsciously refused.

Yang Xingyu: "Then you are born to know how to eat? You can learn to eat, but why can't you learn to pluck duck feathers?"

This sounded harsh.

Yang Qingsi's face darkened slightly, and he was about to lose his temper, but Yang Xingyu didn't seem to see his expression, and continued: "Brother! Don't you want a wife? Are you really going to hang out like this until you die?"

Yang Qingsi's eyes became surprised, and he hesitated and said: "In my situation, which woman is willing to follow me? Your father, your second brother, third brother, and third brother have never given it to me. After introducing a woman, I, I will definitely not be able to get a wife!"

Yang Xingyu laughed.

I thought to myself: As lazy as you are, with an unreasonable temper, who would dare to introduce a woman to you?If you don’t change your bad habits, wouldn’t introducing a woman to you mean to harm others?

"You are not living a good life yourself, and you don't have a stable income. Of course, no woman will want to be with you. Think about it, among all the people in the village who have wives, who is like you?"

Yang Qingsi was stunned when he heard this.

Yang Xingyu added: "Think about it carefully! I only give you this opportunity to make money because you are my brother. Otherwise, if I pay 200 yuan a month, there are many elderly people in the village who are willing to come and give it to me." Help, plucking duck feathers is not a heavy or tiring job. Besides, besides me, who outside will ask you to do something?"

In 2006, even if rural people with no education or skills went out to work, their monthly salary was generally only 500 yuan.

Unless you are willing to work hard at the construction site, your income will be slightly higher, but not much higher, because these days, the daily wage for small workers on construction sites is only 30 yuan.

Therefore, Yang Xingyu offered his uncle a salary of two hundred per month, which was not very low.

After all, there isn't much his brother-in-law can do here.

Yang Qingsi frowned and struggled for a while, then stammered and asked: "Xiao, Xiaoyu, do you think I can find a wife if I work here?"

Yang Qingsi, who has been single since birth, definitely wants a woman.

Otherwise, he would not approach women every time he saw them when he entered the village. Young women ignored him, and he did not dislike older women aged between 50 and [-]. He still showed a bright smile and went up to chat with her, and even fished for her every now and then. Those old women ate.

What is he drawing?
Aren't you just looking forward to eating some of those old women's tofu one day?

Yang Xingyu is very aware of his uncle's virtues, so he knows that seeking a wife is his deepest desire.

"At least there is some hope! You can't marry a grown-up girl, but you can still hope to marry a divorced woman with children! Look at Yang Laoliu from the end of the village. I heard that he was in his forties before he married a divorced woman with children. , and then the woman gave him a son, Xiaojun. I heard that Xiaojun was admitted to college two years ago. Do you know this? You don’t want a son like Xiaojun? You are not even four years old yet. Ten! Yang Laoliu was over 40 back then and could find a wife, why can’t you?”

As mentioned earlier, during the years when Yang Xingyu started his business, he often fed his employees chicken soup for the soul, and he was very skilled in doing ideological work for others.

No, Yang Qingsi, who was famous for being lazy in several nearby villages, was told by Yang Xingyu that his face turned red and he looked very excited.

Obviously moved.
