I became popular in the 1970s by disguising myself as a man

Chapter 9: Building a new house and digging the foundation ([-])

Zhong Zhiran discovered something was wrong with Tian Zeyu yesterday. If he had any questions, Zhong Zhiran wanted to ask directly. Zhong Zhiran didn't like the meandering.

At this time, Jiang Heng and Zhou Xingyu also came in, but Zhong Zhiran could see that in addition to Liu Yuzhou who was also looking at Tian Zeyu with doubts, Jiang Heng and Zhou Xingyu also had smiles with unknown meaning on their faces.

Tian Zeyu twitched the corner of his mouth, took two steps forward, and placed the bowl on the kang.

"Your father's name is Zhong Zhicheng. He died on the battlefield 16 years ago. My father and your father were comrades in arms. As long as one of us is a girl, we can't run away after getting married."

Zhong Zhiran: What the hell is getting married?

Zhong Zhiran's brain was running rapidly. Tian Zeyu's simple sentences contained too much information. In other words, the original father and Tian Zeyu's father were not only comrades in arms, but also had a good relationship.

Since Tian Zeyu knows her identity, it also proves that Tian Zeyu's father has always paid attention to the original person, so much so that when Zhong Zhiran went to the countryside, he got the news. Was it specially arranged by that person for him to go to the countryside here?
Zhong Zhiran was thinking secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He picked up the bowl and sipped the porridge in small sips.

"Thank you for the porridge."

On the other side of the village chief's house, Li Cuihong was holding a meeting with family members. Yes, Zhang Yougen usually held meetings with the villagers in a decent manner, but in front of Li Cuihong, he could only be obedient.

"I know that child has a hard life. He has no father since he was young, and his mother has remarried. I don't know how much suffering this child will suffer when he lives this long. Since he is here, it is fate for us.

From now on, we will take more care of this child. I thought about it all night last night, and I am afraid that there will be gossips in the village that this child is currying favor with the village chief. From now on, we will tell the outside world that this child is a distant relative of our family. "

Zhang Yougen took the cigarette from behind his ear, put it under his nose and smelled it. He couldn't bear to smoke it and put it away. That's all, for the sake of those boxes of cigarettes and those two bottles of wine, distant relatives should be distant relatives!

"Do you understand what your mother said? If you understand, take the shovel and pickaxe and dig the foundation for your cousin!"

As Zhang Yougen spoke, he looked at his old wife with his peripheral vision. After receiving an appreciative look, why did he feel a little swaying?This good mood filled him all day long, and even seeing Zhong Zhiran's pretty face made him feel better.

It was only when the educated youth courtyard saw the village chief and his four sons that they learned that the newly arrived educated youth not only had to cook alone, but also built their own house and lived alone. What was even more exciting was that Zhong Zhiran had turned out to be He is a distant relative of the village chief's family, and it turns out he is a related household.

News spread quickly in the village. For a time, gossips continued, starting from 'A handsome educated youth has arrived' to 'The handsome educated youth has money to buy a bicycle', and then to 'That handsome educated youth has arrived. They are relatives of the village chief's family and want to build a new house.'

They are all from the same village, so the distant relatives of the people in the village are equivalent to our own people. How can our own people build a house and watch over it!

Suddenly the situation was out of control. The homestead at the foot of the mountain that Zhong Zhiran had chosen became crowded with people, and the work was in full swing...

To be honest, all this was unexpected by Zhong Zhiran, but Zhong Zhiran still understands how to be human. After all, these people came here to help, not because of her. She is an educated youth who has just arrived. No matter who she is, it is because of the face of the village chief and his family. Came here just now.

This also made Zhong Zhiran want to get along well with the village chief's family.We can't let the village chief's family take advantage of both favors and things. Zhong Zhiran went to the village chief's house carrying a bag of grain, two pieces of bacon and two plastic-wrapped roast chickens in the space. Of course, the plastic-wrapped skin of the roast chicken had been removed. Zhong Zhiran took it apart.

"Auntie, I'm here, are you at home?"

"Hey, Zhiran is here, come in quickly, you kid, why are your hands so big? Why are you bringing these things here? Take them back quickly!"

As soon as Li Cuihong heard Zhong Zhiran's voice, she wiped her hands with her apron and ran out to greet people. When she saw what Zhong Zhiran was holding, her smiling face was immediately filled with disapproval, and even her brows were wrinkled. together.

"Auntie, I don't understand anything. I just went to take a look at the homestead. There are so many uncles, uncles and eldest brothers there to help me lay the foundation. How much should I pay for this labor? What other materials are needed to build a house? I thought about the mud bricks last night and decided to pay for them. It’s about to be harvested in autumn, so I’m afraid I won’t have time to finish them and make up for them.”

"What kind of money should I give? Everyone helps each other to build houses in the village. I said you are a distant relative of mine and you are. I can't let you call me aunt in vain. There are only three houses as big as you mentioned last night. , with so many people helping me, I estimate it can be done in three days. Even the stove and kang can be set up, and you can live in a new house before the autumn harvest.

We can take care of three meals a day. You don’t have to worry about cooking. You and I have two sisters-in-law.

As for the mud bricks, if you don't mind the trouble of spending money to replace them, just replace them, save your worries. "

Zhong Zhiran had already guessed that Li Cuihong would answer like this, but what should be said must be said, and one could not pretend to be confused while pretending to understand. This was too chilling!

While Zhong Zhiran listened to Li Cuihong's words, he also looked at the faces of the two sisters-in-law, Mengfang and Geng Hua. Zhong Zhiran felt relieved because he didn't see any displeasure.

Don't make other people's homes uneasy because of this little thing about yourself.

"Okay, I listen to my aunt, but my aunt and my two sisters-in-law will have to work hard these days. I have to thank you for your help, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

To build this house for me, so many people came to help. I also know that they came because of the face of my uncle, the village chief, my aunt, and my four brothers. I can't let you use favors and then food. , I didn’t take much. There are fifty kilograms of rice here, and some bacon and roast chicken. As for vegetables and other things, I just licked my face and took advantage of my aunt’s house. "

To be honest, no one is rich in food these days. At first, Li Cuihong just saw that Zhong Zhiran was good-looking and pleasing to the eye!But she just wanted her child to have a meal at home, so the child came to the door with those old things. It wasn't that Li Cuihong was attracted by those things, it was just that she felt that Zhong Zhiran was honest and not talkative, and then she knew Zhong Zhiran's life experience. , they are all grown from the human heart, and she just feels distressed.

Let’s look at what Zhong Zhiran did today. The 16-year-old child handled things in an open and clear manner, and what he said made people feel at ease. Li Cuihong is really more and more satisfied with it. Her four sons combined are probably not as good as Zhong Zhiran. Sensible and responsible.

"What are you taking advantage of? If you don't want to talk to aunt again in the future, the vegetables in the garden are not all ready-made. Just put your rice and meat here first, and you can take back the leftovers."

"I listen to my aunt, don't save the rice or meat. The big guy has given us all the strength, so we can't let them suffer any more."
