Chapter 48
After working for more than ten days, the wall has been built up.

Now that the [-]# is broken, I simply look at the life on the almanac by myself.

Finally, they began to surround the courtyard wall. According to Jia Haohao's request, they planted trees and built chicken coops in the courtyard.

Not only that, but there are gravel paths on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, September 9th in the Gregorian calendar arrived.

After more than half a month of hard work, Zhen Youqin's new house was finally built.

Speaking of which, he was lucky, the weather had been sunny for more than half a month, and it didn't delay him at all.

The house was completely built yesterday, and it started to drizzle this morning.

And the old people in the village also said that the sky will not be sunny all of a sudden.

Of course, there is little rain on their side, and it is a good thing for everyone to be able to rain when this is not a busy season.

On rainy days, the adults don’t have to go to work to rest at home, and the men take advantage of their idle time to smoke a bag of cigarettes and talk about the mountains, or repair the wobbly stools, chairs and tables at home, and look around for water leaks.

The women have to mend the torn clothes and trousers, especially the soles of the shoes. Everyone in the family needs shoes except for the children who can't walk.

However, the educated youths were not so diligent. Taking advantage of the rainy day, Xiao Jianjun invited everyone to play cards: "Lady comrades, whoever of you is free, come and play double buckle, we are short of one!"

Zhao Meili combed her hair and walked out with a bright smile: "I'll come, is it the money?"

Xiao Jianjun grinned and said, "It's boring to count the money. Is it okay to deduct two cents for both and one cent for one?"

"Okay." Zhao Meili also happily agreed.

After a while, someone came in from outside.

He Xiongfei walked in wearing gray overalls and smoked cigarettes for the three gay men, smiling triumphantly: "They're all here, let's smoke. Tomorrow is my wedding with Xiaohua. If you have time, why don't you join in the fun?"

"Haha, Comrade He is so polite." Xiao Jianjun saw that the cigarette he handed over was from Daqianmen, he took it and put it in his mouth: "I haven't been to Hejiazhuang yet, so I'll bother you tomorrow."

Lou Jie also smiled and said, "We can also be regarded as Chen Zhiqing's natal family, we must be married off."

Cui Xiucheng didn't speak, but just nodded to him, expressing that he would go too.

Seeing that they all agreed, He Xiongfei was very happy, and took out a box of matches to light them up: "Thank you very much, everyone will work hard tomorrow."

Zhao Meili stretched out her hand with a smile: "Brother-in-law He, they all have cigarettes, what about me?"

"You don't smoke, I'll leave you more wedding candies tomorrow." He Xiongfei was coaxed by Chen Xiaohua during this period of time, and his youngest sister was also coming back to drink the wedding wine, so he was ready to do something extravagant.

After all, what is being advocated now is a revolutionary wedding. It seems that weddings in towns are organized by "organizations". The guests are either union representatives or employee representatives. It looks a bit like a party at a work unit.

Getting married now is really very simple, if the conditions are good, pick a good day in private and set up three or five tables of wine, and relatives, friends, neighbors and neighbors get together for a meal.

If the conditions are poor, the two bedrolls are considered married, which is very low-key.

On the contrary, in the rural areas, the most difficult and difficult period has passed. Although the dowry is a luxury, there will be a few tables of wine.

One is that the dishes for the wine are all from their own vegetable gardens, or they are delivered from other people's homes. Except for the cost of meat and vegetables, there is no need to spend anything else.

Furthermore, they can receive gifts, which may be red envelopes of a few cents, or rice noodles and vegetables.

And if you don't do it, the ones that were sent out before will be in vain.

No one is willing to do such a loss-making thing as going in and out.

At this time, Chen Xiaohua, who was wearing a blue Bragi, came out, glanced at Zhao Meili, and joked with a half-smile: "Lili, are you still cheating? You are getting married too, so don't be afraid that I will behave like that when the time comes." Sample?"

Although she herself looked down on He Xiongfei in her heart, she knew that only by coaxing him well and giving birth to a son could she gain a firm foothold in the He family.

It cannot be denied that He Xiongfei's conditions are indeed good. If he didn't look down on the village girl, it would not be his turn.

She was very unhappy seeing Zhao Meili smiling at him like this now, and she always felt that Zhao Meili wanted to benefit from being cute and surly.

Zhao Meili was purely careless, she didn't think much about Chen Xiaohua's words, and said angrily: "You will marry Comrade He tomorrow, and now you are turning your elbows out."

Jia Haohao also came out at this time. She was not familiar with He Xiongfei, so she just nodded and left the educated youth spot.

She came outside the new house with a broken umbrella with no good looks, and saw that the unpainted wooden door was open, and there were shouts from inside.

"Okay, why are you standing at the door?" Zhen Youqin, who was wearing a coir raincoat, happened to carry a piece of wood in, and saw her eyes lit up: "Go into the house."

"You are still smart. You look at the gravel road, and you can see the benefits in rainy days. There is no mud on it."

Jia Haohao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, she couldn't help it, she was also human, and she liked to hear people praise her.

"By the way, the latrine, no, the latrine is built according to what you said. It looks clean. The people who came to help are jealous. I think they will be built according to ours in the future."

Nowadays, large urns are mostly used as toilets in rural areas, but Zhen Youqin dug a cubic pit in the ground according to what Jia Hao said, and filled it with green bricks and cement, and covered it with thick planks. , It doesn't smell too bad in summer.

Regarding this topic, Jia Haohao was a little embarrassed, so he could only change the subject: "When are you going to move here? Do you want to prepare a few tables for helpers to have a drink?"

Zhen Youqin put the wood into the empty living room, then scratched his head, and looked at her with bright eyes: "Now there is nothing at home, I just want to get some furniture first, and we will have wine together when we get married, what do you think? "

Jia Haohao nodded affirmatively: "This arrangement is quite good."

She also found that there was nothing in the new home except a pile of wood, which looked a bit shabby.

"My second uncle also taught me carpentry. I dare not do the detailed wardrobe, but I can do the work with a stool and a wooden table."

Zhen Youqin also felt that the new home was too shabby: "I asked Da Shuan's father to make us the kang mat, 箢篼, 箢pan, and dustpan; everything in the Tie family is too expensive and requires a ticket, but like big and small vats, earthen pots, There is no need for a ticket to buy these pots in the town another day."

Jia Haohao's heart moved: "Uncle Zhen doesn't need a mule cart in the rainy day, why don't we pull the cart ourselves to buy it?"

Before she got married, she knew that life was not easy.

She also understood that what the dog system gave her would not be cheaper than outside.

However, seeing that there was nothing in the new home, she also felt a little sad, so she wanted to take the opportunity to sell some eggs, so that she could buy some essentials for the house.

Seeing that the weather is going to be cold, cotton and cloth are indispensable for bedding, otherwise how will everyone survive the winter?

Thinking about it this way, she wondered if Zhen Youqin was born by his father, otherwise, could she be so ruthless?
