Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 258
I heard the word congratulations.

Dakui hugged Guifeng tightly, and the two embraced, the depression accumulated for many years was vented silently with tears.

Li Hongbing quietly walked aside to observe the growth of vegetables in the vegetable garden.

There were footsteps coming from the courtyard door.

Immediately afterwards, Tie Zhu was heard joking loudly, "Hey, what are you doing, cuddling and hugging, I am so impatient in broad daylight, the medicine Uncle Hongbing prescribes is so powerful."

"Da Kui, you are also frizzy, and Uncle Hong Bing is still standing by the side."

"Why, Uncle Hongbing asked us to come over and watch you two enter the bridal chamber?"

Following behind, Lao Gen, Fu Sheng, and Shui Sheng grinned and walked into the yard with baskets in their hands.

Guifeng blushed, pushed Dakui away violently, and ran into the kitchen covering her face.

And Da Kui stood there giggling, as if possessed by a demon.

Li Hongbing smiled and said to everyone, "I'm going to be a father, so I can't make out with you."

What!
Becoming a father!
Tie Zhu and the others looked at Da Kui in unison.

"Damn it, why didn't we tell you about this earlier? I'll call Yuzhi up, and everyone will be happy together."

"That's right, the old brothers are only short of you not being a father. Now it's all over, and we're reunited."

"Okay, good job, Xiucai, go and call your mother, and call all the other aunts along the way, and say that Uncle Da Kui is going to be a father, so bring all the good things in the house."

Shuisheng dragged his son to the gate of the courtyard, exhorting him thousands of times, and not far away, Fu Sheng greeted him quickly.

"That's right, ask your aunt to bring the old wine I hid."

"understood."

Originally, Xiucai came with his father to find Li Hongbing, and discussed about proposing marriage with Widow Liu's family. Knowing that Uncle Da Kui is happy to become a father, he is also happy for Uncle Da Kui.

Among the old brothers, Da Kui is the only one who has no children, and everyone usually tries not to mention children, so as not to hurt Uncle Da Kui.

it's good now.

Uncle Da Kui has also become a father.

Hearing his father's arrangement, Li Hongqi ran home immediately.

soon.

People came in one after another.

Yuzhi held two clucking old hens in one hand, and sent her eldest son back from the city with the other, the health care products she was reluctant to eat.

Tiemei also carried two old hens, and old clothes worn by children in big and small bags.

Chunlan is also an old hen plus a bunch of things.

After delivering the things, he surrounded Guifeng, chirping and imparting all kinds of fetal care experience.

……

Li Hongbing could see that the old hen was hard currency in the countryside, no matter what happened to the family, it was right to give the old hen.

Tie Zhu on the side complained, "It's time to cook, everyone is hungry, and they plan to let us men cook!"

Xiu'e's sister-in-law said fiercely, "What's wrong, men can't cook, it's so old, men and women are equal."

He was talking nonsense, but walked quickly into the kitchen, followed by the other sisters-in-law talking and laughing.

A group of old men were sitting in the rice field, gossiping, and the younger generations around them were not qualified to sit, busy serving tea and water, and sending cigarettes to the fire.

"Uncle Hong Soldier, what do you want us for?" Fu Sheng asked Uncle Yan, taking a puff.

Li Hongbing smiled, "It's nothing. I bought the old warehouse and planned to turn it into a Qixiangsan processing factory. The house is a bit old, but the frame is still there. I plan to ask you to help me repair it. Big work counts."

"That's it!" Lao Gen interjected, "Whatever the money is, just take care of the food and drink."

Lao Gen said this because his burden is light, his eldest daughter has a stable job in the city, and his son-in-law is also motivated. He opened a courier station and does not need Lao Gen's help to subsidize it.

Others don't think so.

A few days ago, Tie Zhu asked Li Hongbing to borrow money to buy a house for his eldest son in the city and pay the down payment. There is also a younger son Shengli who is not good at home.

The same is true of Fusheng’s family. The two sons are not worried. The eldest son Li Hongwei works on a construction site in the city and lives in poverty. Fusheng has to ask someone to send money there every now and then. When you can't even find a wife.

For other aquatic students, Defa also has scriptures that are difficult to recite in every family.

The big salary paid by Uncle Hongbing is not 50 yuan, but 300 yuan.

Just like the dilapidated old warehouse, it wouldn't take three to five days to complete it, which would cost a lot of money.

But Lao Gen said it dead.

Who has the nerve to open this mouth.

Li Hongbing waved his hand, "That's it. If you don't do it, I'll find Sun Qiang's construction team."

Hearing that Uncle Hongbing was going to find the construction team, the gentlemen looked at each other and said awkwardly.

"Then let's do it, the construction team in the city can build tiles."

Li Hongbing smiled and nodded.

"That's it. I'll go to see the house after dinner."

While serving tea and water, Li Hongqi, a scholar, Jianjun, licked his face victoriously, "Brother Hongbing, let's go to work too, just pay a small salary."

you?

Li Hongbing asked curiously, "I just paid the three of you a few days ago a salary of 3000, so there is no money left."

The voice did not fall.

All the gentlemen in the courtyard looked at the three scholars.

In particular, Li Hongqi grabbed Jianjun by the collar and said, "If you are a dog, you will get a salary of 3000, and if you pay a dime, you will run fast and repay your debt. Shame on you."

Shuisheng threw away the cigarette butt with a calm expression, and glanced at his youngest son, Xiucai, "Uncle Hongbing, did you give them 3000 wages?"

"Yes, the salary is only paid." Li Hongbing replied subconsciously, and immediately reacted, looking at the three scholars, "Didn't you tell your family?"

The three scholars nodded with mournful faces.

Lao Gen said quietly, "I told you at home, Uncle Hongbing pays 1000 yuan a month."

"Here, one for each person, don't slap your face." Fu Sheng took out three rattan sticks from the firewood pile under the wall and distributed them to Lao Gen and Tie Zhu.

Seeing this scene, Xiucai, Shengli, and Jianjun were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they hurriedly called for grievances.

"Father, listen to me, I'm not planning to save money for my wife."

"Yes, yes, I want to marry a wife too."

"I'm like them both."

It is a good thing that a son wants to marry his wife.

The three gentlemen couldn't bear to do it again.

At this time.

Mrs. Tiemei came out with a plate of fried peanuts. Seeing that her man was going to smoke her son, she asked inexplicably, and learned that her youngest son was telling lies. She was paid 3000 yuan, but when she returned home, she said that she would only be paid 1000 yuan.

He snatched the cane on the spot, and slapped the three hapless guys indiscriminately.

Screaming screams rang out in the yard, and the sister-in-law who was cooking in the kitchen searched for the sound, and knew the reason from Tiemei, and immediately changed from one to three to three to three.

The old men on the side became the audience.

In the end, Li Hongbing came forward to dissuade them, and then rescued the three scholars from their mother's love.

"Yes, let you tell lies. If you save money to marry a wife, you can save money to marry a wife. Why don't you dare to say it."

sizzle...

The three scholars gasped, touched the red marks that had been drawn by the cane, and looked at the culprit with resentment.

It's not that you talk too much.

Now play nice.

It hurts! !
"Okay, get out of here, we have business to discuss with Uncle Hongbing." Lao Gen waved his hand like a goshawk to let the three unlucky guys go away.

After sitting down again, Fu Sheng, Lao Gen, and Shui Sheng glanced at each other, unable to speak.

"What's the matter, let's talk!" Li Hongbing couldn't see Moji the most.

Lao Gen blushed, "Well, Uncle Hongbing, we would like to ask you to come forward and discuss with Huaizhong, see if we can move the residence registration of our eldest son and eldest daughter back to the village."

This issue?

Li Hongbing put away the smile on his face and fell into deep thought.

The meadow contract money is divided into dividends per person, and one person can get more than 6000 yuan, and a family of three can get nearly 2 yuan in dividends every year.

It is profitable, so some people will naturally think carefully, and move the people who have moved out of the household registration, and then move back, and there will be more than 6000 yuan if there are more than one person in the family.

I just didn't expect that Lao Gen and the others would be the first to speak.

This is a bit of a force.

It is true that the father wants to move his son and daughter's household registration back to Caogou Village.

The problem is that as long as the first opening is made, the daughter-in-law and son-in-law's household registration will not be transferred back, and the children's residence registration will not be transferred back.

At that time, everyone in the village will do this, bring the seven aunts and eight aunts, relatives and six family members back to the village, and even share their farts, all of them are waiting to starve to death.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Hongbing shook his head.

"You guys are setting me up on the fire. Once I speak, what will the other people in the village think of me? What should I do if I report it?"

Follow Li Hongbing to tell the truth.

The eyes of the few old men dimmed, and they knew in their hearts that this would be the result, but they just wanted to give it a try, who wouldn't want their children to live better.

"That's not difficult for Uncle Red Soldier, you just take what I just said as a fart, and do whatever you want." Lao Gen said awkwardly.

Li Hongbing smiled, "I can't change my household registration, but I can let them work in the Qixiangsan factory. I am also short of people. A salary of 2000 yuan a month is no better than a bonus. In addition, the population of our village will increase in the future, and the dividend will also increase." It will decrease, not for a long time."

Others thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

When the villages in the forest area know the news of the dividends in Caogou Village, the bachelors and daughters in the village are all sweet and sweet, and they will sharpen their heads to drill into the village, and the dividends will definitely not be as much as they are now.

Going to work in Uncle Hongbing’s factory, you can earn more than 2 yuan after a year of drought and flood protection.

The gloomy eyes of the few gentlemen came alive again, and they made some calculations in their hearts, knowing that Uncle Hong Soldier was giving them a step down.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face again, and he called the kitchen to serve the food and wine quickly.

After drinking and eating.

A few people took Li Hongbing to inspect the old warehouse, and the sooner they finished, the children could go back to work in the village earlier.

The wall of the old warehouse was originally built with loess, and it is easy to repair. It is enough to re-mold the yellow mud, and then clean up the weeds in the rice field and lay a layer of stones.

There are four warehouses, a two-story brick house and three bungalows.

At the beginning, the production team used the old warehouse to store grain and carry out villagers' activities. When building the house, they used solid materials, the foundation was deep, and the best bricks and tiles were used.

After one inspection, you only need to replace a few beams, and then replace the incomplete tiles with new ones, and the old warehouse can be used normally.

A few people discussed briefly, and each led someone to roll up their sleeves and start working.

Li Hongbing was not idle either, wielding a hoe to clean up the weeds in the rice field.

During the period, other villagers heard the movement and followed the sound. Knowing that Uncle Hongbing was going to use the old warehouse to open a factory, they all enthusiastically helped.

Tie Zhu pulled a cart full of gravel and dumped it on the cleaned paddy field.

The stones were paved with a shovel, and then Hongqi and Jianjun dragged the stone rollers to flatten and compact them.

Spread a layer and grind a layer until it is hard to step on.

"New tiles are here!" Lao Gen pulled the tiles from the brick yard into the warehouse.

It is very troublesome to replace the tiles of the old rural houses, not because of the severe rain leakage, which makes the owner very annoying, and generally does not make up his mind to replace the tiles.

But the old warehouse has basically arrived, and there are big leaks and big leaks, small leaks and small leaks, and there are three days of leaks.

Old houses were replaced with tiles. The wooden purlins and planks on the house have been used for many years. In addition, they have been suppressed by tiles for a long time, and many planks and purlins have decayed.

Lao Gen is a bricklayer, and Shui Sheng is a carpenter. Anyone in the village needs their help when changing roof tiles.

Shuisheng first found two bamboo poles and leaned against the roof. Lao Gen handed the old tiles to Shuisheng, and Shuisheng then used the two bamboo poles as slide rails to lower them down.

The first piece of tile slides to the ground, and the person who receives the tile does not take it. Let the tile serve as a fulcrum to withstand the subsequent tiles. Replace the position of the first tile.

This speeds up the scraping speed.

The old roots reveal the tiles, and the aquatic life sends the tiles.

The tiles fell to the ground along the bamboo poles one by one, and the people below moved the tiles away. The process was extremely smooth.

Soon, all the old roof tiles were stripped off, leaving wooden purlins and planks full of dust.

Shuisheng began to check the condition of each purlin, cleaned up the dust accumulation, and replaced the new purlin immediately when he found the decayed purlin.

The new tiles are sent to the roof with pulleys, and the old roots are arranged according to the purlins, and the new tiles are covered again.

Tiling is very particular in the countryside, and it must be done by a master. If the wrong tile is built, the owner will be angry and have to deduct wages to rework.

Rural tiles are generally gray and slightly curved, one end is thick and the other end is thin, the thick end is the tile head, and the thin end is the tile tail.

The roof tiles are stacked alternately according to the positive tiles and the negative tiles, and the tiles are stacked upward along the grooves between the rafters. They are Yang tiles. Water comes out from here.

The junction of two rows of yang tiles is called yin tiles. The method of covering the yin tiles is opposite to that of the yang tiles. The tiles are turned down and turned upside down, and they are stuck and connected with the yang tiles—like a body and two wings.

The yin tile must face down and the tail of the tile must face up, and the rainwater flows along the back of the tile to the drainage channels of the yang tiles on both sides, and flows down.

The tiles with the same size and specifications, the yin and yang are interlaced and layered to perfectly blend, dense and ventilated, sparse and separated from the rain.

This will make the roof look nicer.

Seeing the old warehouse recovering its original appearance little by little, Li Hongbing couldn't help but secretly happy.

He turned his head and called to stop the iron pillar who just came back from pulling the tiles.

"Is there a millstone for grinding herbs."

"How broken?" Tie Zhu asked.

Li Hongbing gestured, "It's better to be as fine as flour."

"That won't work." Tie Zhu shook his head, "Unless there is a machine, I know there is an electric stone mill in the town, not to mention herbs, even stones can be ground into powder."

Is there a sale in town?
Li Hongbing immediately took out his mobile phone and called Sanpao, asking him to walk around the town to see if he could buy this kind of electric stone mill.

Finish the call.

Roof tiling is also nearing completion.

Boom boom boom.

Shawa drove over from a distance on a tricycle.

The sharp-eyed villagers yelled loudly on purpose.

"Uncle Hong Soldier, your mother-in-law is here to look for you."

The other villagers cast curious glances one after another, and Shan Xing, who was sitting in the carriage shyly, shook her head.

Li Hongbing, sweating profusely, walked out of the warehouse door, picked up a clod of soil and threw it at the talkative villager.

"It's not big or small, it's called Aunt Shanxing."

This caused the villagers to laugh even louder, and they laughed. They would not dare to do anything wrong when they saw Shan Xing in the future. What Uncle Hongbing said just now was not only a joke, but also a warning.
