This is the day when the construction of the Qiao family's house starts. The custom here is to invite relatives and friends over for a warm house meal when the beams are laid or the roofing is completed.

However, firecrackers are also indispensable for the start of work. It is just a simple ceremony.

Qiao Manman drove to the town early in the morning to buy a bundle of firecrackers, and arrived at the new house when work started at nine o'clock.

"I bought it, I bought it!" Seeing Qiao Manman's van parked on the side of the road, everyone looked over together. The construction team and designer team are waiting.

After Qiao Manman got off the car, he turned on the firecrackers and circled the foundation of the house.

When Grandpa Qiao said the time was up, Qiao Manman lit the firecrackers with the lighter he borrowed from Lu He.

The crackling sound of firecrackers surrounds everyone's ears.

Aunt Ye from the house next door also came over to watch the fun, and chatted next to Qiao's mother: "Your hard life is finally over."

Looking at the red color and smoke in this place, Qiao's mother also felt that her hard work over the years had finally paid off.

Qiao's mother was born in a mountainous place when she was a child. As the eldest sister in the family, there are five children in the family.

From their home to the town, they have to climb three mountains and take an hour's bus ride to the town.

At that time, Qiao's mother went to school until the fourth grade and then dropped out of school. Her grandparents still had to work in the fields, so the younger brothers and sisters were basically raised by Qiao's mother.

So they all have deep feelings for Qiao Ma.

Although the uncle is often unreliable, there is absolutely no way he would do anything to hurt Qiao's mother.

I helped with farm work at home until I was 16 years old and then started working in the neighboring province of Guangzhou. It wasn’t until I was 22 years old that I met Qiao’s father through the introduction of my family. After they got married, they also worked in factories.

Over the years, she has been making money for her family and children, and there has never been a moment that made her feel as satisfied as she did now.

She is just a rural woman who doesn't know anything about luxury cars and villas. Before, she only wanted to renovate her own house and stay in her house for her retirement.

With the intrusion of some new ideas, she also thought about buying a house for her two children in the city if she had some money. However, she still would not follow her children to the city for retirement. She did not expect to start building their new house now. .

The end of this string of firecrackers also pulled Qiao's mother out of her memories.

I don't know when my eyes were filled with tears.

She pretended to wipe her eyes with her sleeve inadvertently, not letting anyone know that she shed tears.

After the sound of firecrackers ended, Luhe announced the start of construction, and the workers and excavators started moving.

After that, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.

The Qiao family members were still watching, but after a while Grandpa Qiao and Qiao Zhiyuan went about their own business.

Qiao Manman felt relieved when she saw Huang Hua telling Lu He some precautions.

At this time, he thought of his pigs and asked Dad Qiao: "Dad, what are you busy with now? Shall I go get the pig pen with you?"

He thought that there was nothing to be busy with. Some mulberry trees in the mulberry field needed to be collected, so Qiao Ma took care of it herself.

Back at Jamfang, Qiao's father drove out his tricycle. Qiao Manman couldn't help but said, "Dad, how about I buy you a new tricycle? This one is already so broken."

Looking at the rusty roof with disgust.

Dad Qiao was moving the cement from home into the car. When he built the small brick house, he left some bricks there, so he just needed to take the cement.

"If I don't replace it, my car will still last for several years."

Then he rummaged through his tool box and found a scraper and ink line. Qiao Manman nodded silently when he saw it. He was worthy of being a bricklayer at the construction site and had all the tools.

Dad Qiao found all his tools, packed them in a fertilizer bag, and put them in the car. He also took a shovel and a cement shovel from the door of the silkworm house and put them in the truck bed. Finally, I took a small chair from home and put the small chair in the car body.

Glancing at Qiao Manman: "Get in the car and sit down, I'm ready to drive."

Qiao Manman was not surprised by this situation, so he grabbed the guardrail next to the car body and climbed up.

After seeing her sitting down obediently, Dad Qiao started to start the vehicle and walked towards Xiaohua Mountain.

When we arrived at the small brick house, we stopped the car and turned on the handbrake, because the concrete road here was winding up the mountain. After parking the car, Qiao's father asked Qiao Manman to pick up two stones and put them against the rear tires.

Prevent the car from rolling back.

After Qiao's father got out of the car, he moved the cement down from the car. When Qiao Manman saw it, he moved with him, and then took down the tools in the car.

When she got to the small brick house, she said, "I just want to raise a few pigs. When grandpa can't raise them, I'll hire someone to raise them. Dad, you can make them bigger."

Dad Qiao laughed when he heard his daughter's plan: "You are really awesome, and you have to ask someone to raise pigs for you."

"Not only raising pigs, but also raising some sheep and some cattle."

Qiao Manman's expression was extremely serious.

Dad Qiao, who thought his daughter was joking just now, realized now that his daughter really wanted to hire someone to raise these animals for her.

"Okay, if you have money, just invite me and I'll eat along, haha."

Qiao Manman didn't say anything more.

Follow Dad Qiao to move the bricks on one side here, and then use a two-wheeled cart to move all the small gravel to the place where cement will be mixed.

The two fathers and daughters worked like this all morning. When they were preparing to go home for dinner, Dad Qiao said: "I thought before that when I was working, it must be your brother following me and helping me. I didn't expect it was you." Come follow me and Cement.”

"Am I better at cement and I than my brother?"

"Haha, I'm sorry for you. Your brother's leg has no problem walking now, but he probably won't be able to lift heavy objects."

"Hey, why do I think about this? Your brother can stand up because of the Bodhisattva's appearance. Why do I still think about it so much?"

When they got home, Qiao's mother had already prepared the meal, but the soup was still missing. Qiao's father and Qiao Manman washed their hands and faces first, and there was no place that could be cleaned from the cement.

The whole body was covered with dust. Fortunately, Qiao Manman prepared masks for the two of them when they went out today.

Otherwise, eating will smell like sand.

"You have to do it in the afternoon and leave it for five days, otherwise it will become unstable."

Dad Qiao was picking up vegetables while talking about the results of his and Qiao Manman's struggles this morning.

"Then you are quite fast."

If Dad Qiao's progress would be much slower by himself, it would definitely be different when Qiao Manman, the powerful king, takes action.

As he started eating again, Qiao Manman suddenly looked around, "Why don't you see rhubarb?"

Rhubarb usually lies aside when eating.

"Hey, I haven't seen it much. Did the sound of firecrackers scare it in the morning?"

The more Mom Qiao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.

"No way, is Da Huang so timid?"
