Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 387 Funny Little Naughty
Li Bayi had a headache watching this scene: "Oh my! What kind of thing is this? First, Lao Wang quit, and now there is a problem with the red envelope. I am just building a red brick house, why are there so many problems!"

"Uncle, you are wrong. These two things are actually the same thing. The reason why Old Wang got angry and left was probably because he didn't take the red envelope." Liu Qingsong reminded.

Otherwise.

It is impossible for an experienced craftsman to build a wall so crooked.

And now such a thing has happened. The only explanation is that he was angry about the red envelope issue.

"Then...what should we do now?" Li Bayi wanted to cry but had no tears.

"What else can we do? We can only wait." Liu Qingsong glanced at the sky and said, "Fenfen, let's go to the kitchen to help. Your dad is here."

"Yeah." Li Fenfen nodded and took Liu Qingsong downstairs.

……

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the contractor Lao Hu had not returned yet.

Li Bayi realized that this was not going to work, and was about to ride his bicycle to look for him, but Zhou Bin drove a jeep and stopped at the threshing ground at the gate.

"Why are you here?" Liu Qingsong, who was standing at the kitchen door, saw this and quickly walked over to greet him.

"I'm here to recognize someone from you." Zhou Bin got out of the cab and pointed at a skinny middle-aged man in handcuffs in the back seat.

When the middle-aged man saw Liu Qingsong, Li Bayi and Li Fenfen, he quickly lowered his head.

"Old Zhao???" Li Bayi was stunned, and then he opened the car door: "What's wrong with you?"

The dark and thin middle-aged man did not answer either, nor did Lao Zhao.

Zhou Bin said, "This guy was gambling in a blacksmith shop in the market, and he was caught by my colleague. He was supposed to be sent to the interrogation room, but he said he was building a wall here, so I sent him here to question him."

If true.

Then he would give Li Bayi some face.

After all, Li Bayi is Liu Qingsong's future father-in-law.

But if it is not true, then he will have to punish Old Zhao to the maximum extent.

"He is building a wall here, but he has committed a bigger crime." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhou Bin asked.

"It's like this..." Liu Qingsong explained in detail in front of Li Bayi the series of chain reactions triggered by Lao Zhao taking away all the red envelopes from the masons.

Zhou Bin listened quietly.

After understanding, he frowned and said, "Qingsong, should I take this shameless guy away now, or leave him here and let the contractor Lao Hu deal with him?"

"Leave him here! After the red envelope issue is dealt with, I'll have someone send him to you, or call you to pick him up." Liu Qingsong hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

After all, if the red envelope issue is not handled properly, the other masons will probably not be in the mood to build the wall.

"Okay!" Zhou Bin opened the handcuffs on Lao Zhao's hands, said something to Liu Qingsong, and drove the jeep towards the mountain road.

"I...I...I'm so sorry!" Old Zhao waited until Zhou Bin walked away, then he knelt down in front of Li Bayi with a plop.

"You are not sorry to me, but to the other masons who worked with you." Li Bayi said as he raised his leg and kicked Lao Zhao: "Do you think I will forgive you if you kneel down? I tell you, it's impossible."

"No! I can return the red envelope to you, but please don't send me back to the police station." Old Zhao cried.

If he were to send it back, his life would be over.

"Humph! Are you scared now? When you stole everyone's red envelopes to gamble and play cards, didn't you think about the consequences you would have now?" Li Bayi became more and more angry as he spoke: "Haven't you ever thought about how you messed up a happy event in my family?"

Old Zhao couldn't answer.

The other masons and laborers who had finished their work and went downstairs also remained silent.

After all, what Li Bayi said made sense. Such a happy event of building a new red brick house was ruined by Old Zhao. Anyone would be angry if this happened to them.

Just when they were about to go back to the second floor to finish the red brick wall that had not been completed today, the contractor, Lao Hu, finally came back on his 28-inch bicycle, accompanied by five or six masons.

When they saw Lao Zhao kneeling on the ground crying, they immediately understood what was going on.

After a brief silence, the contractor, Lao Hu, took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Bayi: "Lao Li, please give me some face and let me handle Lao Zhao."

"As for your red brick house, I promise to complete the stack by 5pm tomorrow, and I guarantee the quality and quantity."

"Qingsong, what do you think?" Li Bayi did not agree at the first time, nor did he take Lao Hu's cigarette. Instead, he turned and looked at Liu Qingsong.

After all, Liu Qingsong had told Zhou Bin before that he would send Lao Zhao back to the police station after the red envelope issue was dealt with.

"I don't trust anyone now." Liu Qingsong thought for a moment before expressing his opinion: "Because Lao Wang could quit before, so could everyone else."

"You...you..." The contractor Lao Hu was angered by these words.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not Liu Qingsong's fault.

After all, Lao Zhao and Lao Wang are both masons under him. They are indeed not trustworthy given the accidents that keep happening to them.

"How about this!" Liu Qingsong glanced at the sky and said, "It's going to be dark soon. Let's eat first, and then you can make up the red envelopes you received this morning."

"As for Lao Zhao, I'll call Zhou Bin and ask him to take him to the police station."

"No, I have no objection to paying the red envelope, but why do you insist on sending Lao Zhao to the police station again?" The contractor, Lao Hu, was anxious and a little puzzled.

"Of course it's to intimidate you and other masons." Liu Qingsong looked at Bao Hongtou Lao Hu: "I just said that I don't trust you or any other masons."

"If you have any professional ethics, you would never let things become like this just because of a red envelope."

"So I can only put a tight ring on you."

"Don't even think about breaking free. If you make me angry, I'll send you all to the police station."

This is not to scare anyone. After all, the red envelope was transferred to Lao Zhao through the contractor Lao Hu.

When it comes to responsibility, Bao Hongtou and Lao Hu definitely share some.

"Okay!" The contractor, Lao Hu, smiled awkwardly, not daring to say anything nice to Lao Zhao: "I'll listen to you in everything. Let's eat first, and then I'll make up the red envelope."

Liu Qingsong didn't say any more nonsense, but turned around to look for Xiao Nuomi, Xiao Taoqi, Yaomei and the others.

The contractor, Lao Hu, watched Liu Qingsong walk away and said, "Lao Li, you are not a simple son-in-law!"

“Haha…” Li Bayi sneered: “He is more than just a nobody. If it weren’t for the fact that my family built a red brick house, you would have been in jail long ago.”

"No way?" The contractor Lao Hu's face turned ugly.

Li Bayi did not explain, but went to help serve the dishes.

……

After dinner, the contractor Lao Hu kept his promise and returned all the red envelopes in front of Li Bayi, Liu Qingsong and Li Fenfen.

Of course, the money for the red envelope was not paid by him.

It was Lao Zhao's family who came.

Lao Hu sent someone to call Lao Zhao's family over.

After giving the red envelope, Liu Qingsong drove a sidecar to take Zhou Bin to the police station.

After returning, Liu Qingsong was surprised to find that the contractor Lao Hu was actually bringing a dozen masons and laborers to work overtime to build the wall.

Just in case, Liu Qingsong went upstairs to check.

I felt relieved to see that the masons did not slack off this time and built the red brick walls straight one by one.

"Qingsong, come here." Li Bayi shouted in the threshing ground at this time.

"Coming, coming!" Liu Qingsong walked towards the threshing ground.

"These masons work so hard on the night shift. Do you think I should give them another red envelope?" Li Bayi asked in a low voice when Liu Qingsong approached.

"Sure, after all, uncle is not short of money now." Liu Qingsong replied softly: "But don't make the same mistake again this time. You have to personally deliver the red envelopes to each person who does the work."

"I understand, I understand!" Li Bayi smiled awkwardly: "By the way, Xiao Nuomi and the others want to sleep, but there are mosquitoes biting people at home, you should go and coax her." "Okay! Okay!" Liu Qingsong turned around and walked towards the temporary shed.

In the greenhouse, Liu Chunhua is lighting mugwort to repel mosquitoes.

But it has no effect, mosquitoes still bite people.

The youngest sister was almost crying: "Big sister, can we go back to sleep? It's not good here at all."

"Yeah, the mosquitoes have bitten the nest to death." Little Nuomi agreed.

"Look, I've killed the tenth one." Wang Ba handed the bloody mosquito to Liu Chunhua.

"You are only the tenth mosquito, and I have fifteen." Little Naughty placed the dead mosquitoes one by one in front of Liu Chunhua: "Look, five of them are female."

"How do you know it's a female?" Liu Chunhua was originally quite annoyed, but was immediately amused by what the little prankster said.

Ye Xiaoxiao, Ye Qubing and Jin Yutou also laughed out loud.

"Of course I can see it. Grandpa said that the bites of female mosquitoes are usually more painful." Little Prank replied seriously.

"Really?" Liu Chunhua laughed so hard that tears came out. Just as she was about to correct him, Liu Qingsong approached the temporary shed and asked, "Sister, what are you so happy about?"

"Little Taoqi said that female mosquitoes usually bite people more painfully, and he can recognize them." Liu Chunhua replied with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong smiled and said, "You all go out for a while. I'll light some mosquito coils to keep away the mosquitoes."

"Uncle, did you bring mosquito coils? The kind that smells good?" Little Nuomi was very surprised.

Liu Chunhua was also a little surprised.

"Yes, I brought it." Liu Qingsong confirmed.

"Oh! That's great!" Little Nuomi cheered and ran out of the temporary greenhouse.

Ye Xiaoxiao, Xiao Taoqi, Yaomei, Jin Yutou, Ye Qubing and Wang Ba also followed happily behind.

The reason for this is that it is obvious that he knows how powerful the "mosquito coil" in Liu Qingsong's hand is.

But Liu Chunhua didn't know! She looked at the children running away in surprise: "Isn't it just lighting a mosquito coil? Is it worth being so happy?"

"Sister, please go out first! The mosquito repellent smell is very strong." Liu Qingsong reminded with a smile.

"Okay!" Liu Chunhua had no choice but to walk out of the temporary greenhouse.

After Liu Chunhua walked away, Liu Qingsong took out the Wanshou Insect Killing Incense from his space backpack and lit it and placed it in various corners of the greenhouse.

After the smoke cleared and all the mosquitoes died and fell to the ground, he let Liu Chunhua and the children come back to sleep.

Liu Chunhua looked at the densely packed dead mosquitoes on the ground and was very surprised: "Qingsong, where did you buy these mosquito coils? Hurry up and buy me some. I have been bitten by mosquitoes when I sleep at home these days. The mosquito coils in the farmer's market are not so effective."

"Really? Then when we come back from visiting our parents in Gusha City, I'll buy some for you." Liu Qingsong replied softly.

"Yes." Liu Chunhua, who was a little sleepy, yawned and then lay down.

Liu Qingsong did not sleep, but continued to help Li Fenfen and Li Bayi.

There is no way. If we don’t keep an eye on it now, it will be troublesome if something happens to the round stack tomorrow.

……

In the busyness.

Time quickly came to three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.

At this time, the roof of the red brick house was almost completed, but the masons did not rush to work. Instead, they all sat on the scaffolding and smoked.

The reason for doing this is not to ask for a red envelope from the host, but to wait for the auspicious time to complete the stack.

If you don't know the rules, you will be scolded by the host.

As a reborn person, Liu Qingsong naturally knows the inside story.

So he didn't go to urge them, but took his elder sister to register the share money.

He didn't have to pay for the share of money himself, and Li Fenfen specifically reminded him of this. However, Jin Yutou, Ye Xiaoxiao, Wang Ba, Ye Qubing and Xiao Taoqi had to contribute.

Of course, this money was not paid by Liu Qingsong alone. It was prepared in advance by the children's elders, except for Jin Yutou.

After registering the money for the gift, Liu Qingsong was about to find a seat to sit down when an old man with gray hair in his temples stopped Li Fenfen with two old hens in his hand and said, "Give this to your father and ask him to pay respect to the master."

"Okay! Okay!" Li Fenfen grabbed the struggling old hen.

"By the way! Who is your partner?" the old man asked again.

"He is it." Li Fenfen smiled and quickly pulled Liu Qingsong over: "Qingsong, this is my fourth grandfather."

"Hello, Fourth Grandpa." Liu Qingsong quickly greeted the old man.

"Hey! Hey!" The old man looked at Liu Qingsong and said, "Let me tell you something. According to the rules here, as Fenfen's partner, you don't have to pay for the share of the money, but you must give red envelopes to the masters when the stacks are completed."

"As for the size of the red envelope, it's up to you."

"I have prepared the red envelope." Liu Qingsong replied.

"As long as you are ready." The old man nodded with satisfaction: "I won't say anything else. When setting off firecrackers, remember to put the gift in a prominent place in the main hall."

"This is also our rule here. Please prepare according to your own situation."

"I'm not trying to embarrass you, but I want all the relatives and friends who come to the banquet to see your gift. This way, Fenfen can also save face in front of the relatives."

"Of course, your father-in-law also has face."

"But... is..." Li Fenfen was about to say a few words for Liu Qingsong, but was interrupted by Liu Qingsong: "Fourth Grandpa, don't worry, I have prepared the gifts, but I haven't sent them to Fenfen's house yet."

"Really? That's good, that's good!" Fourth Grandpa smiled, stroked his beard and left.

But Li Fenfen was anxious: "According to the rules, this gift is not simple. It is all food for relatives and friends, and usually the chef prepares it in advance. Don't you know not to say anything nonsense?"

"As long as you say you are not prepared, Fourth Grandpa will not embarrass you."

"After all, this rule is optional, as long as I agree with you."

"Is that so?" Liu Qingsong scratched his head. "I didn't prepare any food, but I prepared something better than food."

"What is this thing?" Li Fenfen asked curiously.

Just as Liu Qingsong was about to answer, an Isuzu double-row truck appeared in the threshing ground.

After the female driver stopped the truck, she rolled down the window and asked, "Who is Liu Qingsong? I've delivered the refrigerator you requested."

"I, it's me." Liu Qingsong was stunned and walked over.

After taking a look at the female driver, he called a few young men to help lift the large refrigerator out of the cargo box.

Nearly a hundred relatives and friends present were extremely envious when they saw this scene.

"Oh my god! Yuanduo gave me a big refrigerator. This young man is really rich!"

"Who is he? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"It seems he is Li Bayi's son-in-law, otherwise who would have such a valuable thing."

"Li Fenfen is so lucky, why isn't my son-in-law as rich as her!"

"This big refrigerator is not something you can buy with money. You see, this is a large double-door refrigerator. It is not sold in Dayu City yet. It must be custom-made."

"Really? Do you know where I can get one custom made? I want one too."

"How would I know? Can't you just ask Li Fenfen?"

"Yeah, but I don't know how much it costs."
