Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 148 The new house is completed, the Xu family and the third uncle complete the task

Song Chaoyang was not surprised when he heard Qin Tie's words.

Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Bye, bye, the next one will be better."

"Huh?" Qin Tie was startled.

Song Chaoyang continued:

"Oh, it means there is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly?"

After saying that, I didn’t want to stay here anymore, I hugged my bedroll and went to the new house.

Since Qin Tie was able to figure out how to separate from the woman on his own, he should have made sufficient mental preparations.

I was afraid that he would do something extreme.

The main house of the house is a bungalow style, using prefabricated panels, and the roof can be installed on the second floor.

At 9:00 in the morning, there was a burst of crackling firecrackers.

Didn't you see that Qin Rou followed Song Chaodong today to greet the guests at the door of the Song family's new house?

The weather will become cloudy.

"Fourth sister, I'm afraid your house will cost a lot of money, right?" Song Chaoyang's second uncle Xu Luqiang asked his mother Xu Cuiping.

Able to accommodate many people.

Main room, bedroom, kitchen, granary, toilet, everything is available.

……

The last tile of the Song family's new house was put up by his father Song Shouyi himself.

Under the tiles there is a house charm he drew himself.

Because now many people have heard the news that Qin Wanshan not only wants to be promoted to the commune, but also wants to find a way to make his future son-in-law Song Chaodong his successor.

It is several times larger than the original old house.

Otherwise, there would be so many guests that it would be overwhelming.

Outside the courtyard, guests were arriving one after another.

It is particularly pleasing to the eye.

The Song family's new house, which has been under construction for so many days, has also ushered in the day of completion.

"Hey, second brother, where did you think you were?" Xu Cuiping responded while giving candy to the children in the yard:

Song Shouyi went down the ladder to the ground, and there were congratulations all around.

"Chaoyang...does he have a partner too?"

Although I don’t know if it’s accurate, but it’s always necessary to come over to give someone a gift and make you look familiar.

Several side rooms have tile roofs.

After all, his previous affair with Shi Xiaona was already very extreme.

I thought I would come over today to give a few cents as a gift and bring the whole family over for a meal.

"People in the city are not as particular as your family."

After saying that, his eyes rolled, and he glanced at Song Chaoyang, who was standing in the yard in the distance and talking to his uncle, and then asked:

"Look at this new table, new chairs, new stools...even the cabinets are new."

In addition to the workers who repaired the house, there were also new neighbors and relatives of my wife’s Xu family.

There are still people who still remember the big pot meal at that time.

Some of them were not very familiar with the Song family, but they all came to think of Song Chaoyang's cooking skills to save face with Qin Wanshan.

"Ouch, how can second brother..." Xu Cuiping responded with a smile, serving everyone water and tea, and getting peanut candies while busy.

Accountant Tang had already delivered new furniture yesterday. Today, there are almost no items from the old house in the Song family's new house.

And last time the Song family started work, they treated everyone to a meal.

Fortunately, the Song family's new house and yard are large enough.

This does not include the pig pen on the other side.

The Song family's new house was completed and was divided into nine rooms according to Song Shouyi's original design.

Coupled with the use of glass windows on the wall, the light in the room is several times more abundant than that of an adobe house.

end of August.

Xu Luqiang peeled off a piece of fruit candy and threw it into his mouth, followed by Xu Cuiping and whispered:
"You may not think that I am a bamboo craftsman, but carpenters also know that, and I have a sharp eye. Your furniture is all made of good wood. Just the furniture in this room costs a lot of money! "

"What, isn't this just Chaodong who wants to marry a wife?"

All brand new furniture.

Time passed quickly, and 4 days passed in the blink of an eye.

"These new furniture are all given by the brigade as a reward to Chaoyang for catching a thief last time."

"And didn't Chaoyang tell you everything this morning?"

"He is not in a hurry to find someone now."

"Look at him now. He is writing novels, doing translations, and running a breeding farm with his uncle. How can he be busy enough to find a partner?"

After listening to Xu Cuiping's words, Xu Luqiang hurriedly said:

"That's what Fourth Sister said. Why is he working so hard to make money? Isn't it just so that he can marry a wife in the future?"

"Now he doesn't understand, so don't you, a mother, understand."

"Let me tell you, his second aunt has helped him find several good girls from all over the country."

"Just wait for him to choose the one he's most satisfied with."

When Xu Cuiping ignored him, he continued:
"When you start a family and start a career, you start a family and a career... It's not me who says that you start a family first and you start a career last. Do you think about it, is this the truth?"

Xu Cuiping had no choice but to say to him:
"Don't tell me, go and tell Chaoyang."

"Can't I say no to him?" Xu Luqiang scratched his head and said:

"This guy is so stubborn."

Xu Cuiping rolled her eyes:

"You can't even talk to him, but you still let me do it."

"Damn it, you are different." Xu Luqiang said.

He was like a dog-skin plaster, following Xu Cuiping, chattering to him to promote the girl he wanted to introduce to Song Chaoyang.

At this time, an old lady came over and said angrily to Xu Luqiang:
"Second brother, please stop being so petty."

"I took advantage of this girl's family, so I quickly took it and returned it."

This is Xu Cuiping and Xu Luqiang's mother, Song Chaoyang's grandmother Chen Qingshu.

The old lady is energetic, talks much faster than normal people, and she looks impatient at first glance.

In a rural area where the average person is illiterate, when she was young, she went to a private school to learn how to read.

It is said that before the liberation, he even used guns to kill bandits.

In recent years, I have followed my old man into the mountains for hunting.

"No...Mom, I didn't..." Xu Luqiang defended with a guilty conscience.

The old lady sneered:
"Haha, do you think I'm blind?"

"What are you and your mother-in-law doing outside, do you really think I can't see you?"

Seeing that his mother was about to get angry, Xu Luqiang immediately withered and said hurriedly:
"Mom, isn't this just for Chaoyang?"

"Fuck you..." The old lady was so angry that she immediately became angry.

Fortunately, Xu Cuiping was by her side and quickly grabbed her:
"Mom, why are you swearing again? There is a child here."

When the old lady saw that there were many children around who were waiting to get candies, they all looked at her with wide eyes, including Song Xue's two children. She patted her forehead and said:
"Oh, I'm so angry that I even curse myself."

Then she pointed at the second child Xu Luqiang and said:
"Hurry up and help me in the kitchen, stop talking nonsense here!"

When the latter heard this, he felt like he was being pardoned and ran away quickly.

After seeing the person leave, the old lady complained to her daughter Xu Cuiping:

"They were all taught bad things by his mother-in-law. Except for the boss who married a good woman, none of your second and third brothers married anyone who was a fuel-efficient person."

"I see your dad's eye was blinded by them."

"In the future, when Chaoyang marries a wife, you can't just find one at random."

"Otherwise, if you marry me, you will be a disaster, just like the two in the second and third family. One is a snobbery, and the other..."

Hearing the old lady chattering, Xu Cuiping quickly interrupted:
"Oh, okay, okay, why are you mentioning that today?"

"That's right..." The old lady finally nodded.

Then he patted Xu Cuiping's hand and sighed:
"Girl, you have survived now. I think people are right. People facing the east and the sun are good. Let's wait and enjoy the blessings in the future."

"Then I'll lend you some good advice." Xu Cuiping responded to her mother with a smile.

She looked outside and saw that Song Chaoyang and his uncle had finished talking.

At this moment, Song Chaoyang and his uncle on crutches were coming into the main room.

"Have you finished chatting?" the old lady asked Song Chaoyang and her eldest son with great interest.

"Let's talk." Song Chaoyang smiled and nodded to his grandmother.

The old lady smiled and patted his shoulder after hearing this, and then asked the boss:

"How about it? Your nephew and uncle are joining forces to do breeding. Are there many problems?"

The uncle responded:
"Things are basically going smoothly, just like what Chaoyang said before. The provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the breeding farm, the county government, and the battlefield unit have all given the green light."

"It's just that the house over there on the battlefield has been abandoned for a long time. We need to find someone to clean and renovate it. It should take three or four days."

"The other thing is that we have to recruit people. We are not a unit, so I'm afraid this won't be easy."

"Chaoyang said to look for him directly in Murakami. I feel like I'm a disabled person and I'm afraid it won't be easy to manage, so I have to think about this matter."

The old lady waved her hand:

"What's wrong with this? Let's ask our relatives to pay the salary."

"As long as the money is in place, it doesn't matter whether you are an employer or not."

"You don't have to manage people directly. You just find someone to take care of them. If someone refuses to be supervised, you just go to the person in charge."

After hearing what the old lady said, Song Chaoyang and his uncle were a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, the old lady saw this matter quite clearly. Even Song Chaoyang felt that the old lady did not look like a rural person.

Although these words may seem straightforward, they are really quite high-level.

Isn’t that what management is all about?
"Mom, where did you learn these things?" Uncle Xu Lubing asked in surprise.

The old lady asked:

"Does this still need to be learned?"

"..." The uncle was speechless. He realized that he had been away from home for too long and he still didn't have a clear understanding of my mother.

Now that I am disabled this time, I go home and find that everyone in my family is talented.

"Chaoyang, take out the cigarettes and let them disperse." At this time, my wife, Xu Cuiping, came over and handed several packs of cigarettes to Song Chaoyang.

Of course, they are all very cheap brands.

However, they are also cigarettes that country people are reluctant to smoke.

Song Chaoyang took the money and my mother went to buy these.

After receiving the order, Song Chaoyang went out with his cigarettes and circulated around the smokers present today one by one.

They didn't even hear the auspicious words from everyone's lips, and they kept praising Song Chaoyang for his ability.

After all, everyone knows what the second room of the Song family looked like before.

If it weren't for Song Chaoyang, would this house have been built?

It can be said that every brick here was earned by Song Chaoyang with his pen.

No one was jealous at all of the money Song Chaoyang made.

What people rely on is their real ability.

Anyone who is jealous can translate or write novels.

If you can't do it, then why are you jealous of others?

Of course, some people are still unhappy that the Song family is so lively.

Mrs. Jia stood on the hillside and looked at the bustling Song family's new house in the fields, not to mention how uncomfortable she felt.

I still live in an adobe house.

The second child and his family lived in a red brick and cement house.

Not only that, but so many people went to their home to send gifts and congratulate them.

This simply means that the old Song family is not taken seriously.

Look at these ten miles and eight villages. Whose old people live in adobe houses, while their children and grandchildren live in red brick houses?

The old lady became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She stamped her feet but there was nothing she could do.

If she came to look for discomfort now, she would probably meet that little bastard Song Chaoyang.

And even if you can't meet her, there is still the fierce old lady of the Xu family.

She knew that this in-law had a "bad reputation".

He had a conflict with her before, and then the two of them stopped interacting with each other.

They were still young at the time, and they didn't remember why they fought.

Mrs. Xu Cuiping beat her directly until she passed out.

This is also the reason why she has been treating Xu Cuiping badly ever since.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Mrs. Jia still felt a little frightened.

He cursed and spat in the direction of the field.

She reluctantly turned around and walked towards home.

As a result, after taking only two steps, I tripped over a stone in the middle of the road because I didn't look at my feet. I immediately lost my balance and fell down.

She lay in the middle of the road in pain and could not recover for a long time.

Thinking of this, she became more and more angry, and she couldn't help but sob on the road.

Fortunately, there was no one nearby, otherwise someone would have seen her, and they would have thought that the old woman was crying because she saw her son's house was built a new one.

When the time comes, it will definitely be rumored that she is too jealous.

I couldn't bear to see other people's family being well, so I was so angry that I cried.

On the other side, Song Chaoyang finished smoking outside and returned to his new kitchen.

Everyone was looking forward to today's meal. He had to come over first to see how the ingredients were being prepared.

The Song family's new kitchen is extremely spacious, and there are two glass windows, so it looks particularly bright inside.

The number of new red brick cement stoves in homes in Qingsongwan can be counted on one hand.

There's no fire in the kitchen yet, but it's already in full swing.

There are many people here helping to work and handle the ingredients.

Chef Song Chaoyang is still the chef today, but there are too many people here today, and he has to entertain people outside, so the work of preparing and cutting ingredients is left to other people who come to help.

As soon as he saw Song Chaoyang come in, his eldest sister Song Xue pointed at some of the ingredients that had been prepared and asked him to check whether they were in place.

Song Chaoyang glanced at it and nodded. The eldest sister was in charge of the overall situation in the kitchen. All the ingredients were handled as Song Chaoyang had told her.

The people who helped in the kitchen followed her instructions.

Most people are busy doing things.

Only a few people are working as foreigners, such as the second uncle and second aunt.

However, Song Chaoyang didn't have the same experience as them. Anyway, they all came to help and left after having a meal.

There are many people here, and whether they do it or not will not affect the progress.

Cao Wei is also helping peel garlic in the kitchen at the moment. She is a busy person today. She even rode to the commune early in the morning and brought back thirty kilograms of meat.

It can be regarded as a gift to Song Chaoyang's family.

The only things she gave more than what she gave were the two goats brought by her grandfather and the six ducks she and her uncle bought at Wangjiaheba.

In addition, Li Shuhui, the former third aunt after she divorced her third uncle, and Song Lan and Song Zhu are also here to help.

Since they became independent, life at home has been pretty good. The three of them, who were originally a little thin, now have no trace of the color on their faces.

It feels a lot healthier.

Song Chaoyang glanced at his watch and said to the eldest sister:

"I'll come over in 20 minutes and start cooking. You guys should be busy first."

"Okay." The eldest sister nodded, but her hands did not stop working.

After all, this is his own house. Dad even reserved a room for their family when designing it.

Let the eldest sister no longer feel like a married outsider.

Now that his brothers are capable, they can help them do projects, and Song Chaoyang treats his two children quite well.

Last time when the girl was sick, Song Chaoyang gave her money and borrowed a car. Song Xue remembered all this.

The family's new house was built by the couple and their engineering team.

She also put her heart and soul into this family.

Song Chaoyang walked outside.

Almost all the guests who were supposed to come have arrived now, and some women are wandering around the Song family hall, pointing everywhere.

The children gathered together to eat candies and melon seeds. Then you chased them, and I chased them away, running barefoot on the flat concrete floor. It was so lively.

The men, on the other hand, were either chatting in small groups or starting to smoke cigarettes and start playing cards.

They didn't find a place to sit, but sat directly on the concrete steps of Song Chaoyang's house.

Groups of three and five gathered together and started playing enthusiastically.

Many people did not go to work today and came over to give gifts and eat well.

Take a half-day break.

Song Chaoyang looked around the yard and then walked to the roof.

There was also some excitement on the roof at the moment.

Qin Wanshan and Qin Tie's father and son, as well as the cadres of the brigade, were all on it.

Song Chaoyang's grandfather Xu Tianshou and third uncle Xu Lusheng were also there.

They also set up a table and played cards.

But unlike those people sitting on the floor below, they are more particular.

Seeing Song Chaoyang coming up, everyone greeted him.

The third uncle also praised him:

"Chaoyang, your new house is really nice."

"You can dry things on the roof, and you can also set up a table to play cards."

"You really didn't read this book in vain."

Then he said:
"Teach your cousin later. He also has a junior high school education."

"You also make him rich."

Grandpa said at this time:
"You can write after reading? You have also read. Why don't you write? Your wife is still a student in the provincial city? Let her write too."

After hearing this, the third uncle said unhappily:
"Okay, why did you bring her up!"

Song Chaoyang knew that his third aunt was from the provincial capital and had a very weird temper.

It seemed that he looked down on his third uncle, and he didn't know how they got married at that time.

At this moment, Song Chaoyang suddenly heard someone calling him outside the yard.

"Chaoyang! I'm back!"

Song Chaoyang took a closer look and found that his third uncle Song Shoubao, whom he had not seen for several days, was back.

If nothing else, when he comes back this time, he should come here to collect the balance.

Song Chaoyang already knew what he had predicted in the dream before. What he did had shattered Song Chaofeng's dream of marrying Bai Fumei.

Now it's really his turn to come back and ask for the balance.

But he didn't know yet that Song Chaofeng had already found out what he had done.

If he didn't help him, he would probably be seriously injured on his way back to the county town this time.
