The splendid pastoral of the fierce scholar
Chapter 140 Borrowing Money
Chapter 140 Borrowing Money
The family went home and discussed it, and roughly calculated that the cost of materials would cost four taels of silver, and there would be additional furniture and daily necessities later, which would also cost a few taels of silver.
As for the new benches and some tables, Chen Yujie happened to learn how to be a carpenter, so he could go to the mountains to cut trees to build them.
According to the original plan, Chen Yiyi planned to build a small house with six rooms.Unlike Mr. Chen's courtyard, the house that Chen Yiyi was planning to build had a dam in front, so there was no need to block it with a courtyard wall.
In the back, you can build a small backyard by yourself, and block it with a courtyard wall.
You can plant some fruit trees by yourself, or raise some chickens and ducks, etc.
As for the location, Mr. Chen insisted on visiting the old people in the village to find a place with good Feng Shui.
Gu Nian Chen also had good intentions, so Chen Yiyi stopped insisting, although Chen Yiyi had already found a good place with a sunny back.
After buying a few catties of good wine in Chen Yujie, and serving good dishes and meals, the old man Mo in the village walked slowly behind, looked around the village four times, and finally found the flat ground opposite the door of Qin Zhao's house.
"It's here, it's a good place, the feng shui is good, and the ground is a good place. If you build a house here, your descendants will prosper and your wealth will continue."
"Really? Can children and grandchildren prosper?"
Mr. Chen attached great importance to this sentence.
Old man Mo's beard was puffed up, his eyebrows were knotted together, and his face was very unhappy.
"What's the matter? You still don't believe me, old man Mo? I, old man Mo, have been watching this Feng Shui for so many years. When did I get it wrong? If you don't believe me, I won't accept your gift money. Don't build houses here. That's it."
After finishing speaking, old man Mo pushed up his sleeves and made a gesture to leave.
"Hey, look, the old man is just happy, I don't mean that. Why are you angry?"
With old man Mo's actions like this, Chen Yujie believed in old man Mo's ability even more. If a person who is incapable, can he have such confidence?
Chen Yiyi looked at the place opposite Qin Zhao's house.
The terrain is really good, and it is also a sunny place. The land behind is so flat that it is enough to build a backyard behind.
Behind the key is a small hill, and there are enough flat places. After repairing the house, there is no need to worry about sudden landslides.
Downward, there is still a certain height. In this way, the house is built above the ground and has a distance from the road. At that time, a ramp can be built to facilitate the descent.
Chen Yiyi likes this very much, and she doesn't have to be afraid of getting damp when the house is built in the future.
I scanned the hardness of the foundation with spirit stones, and it was unexpectedly honest, unlike ordinary soft mud, with thick rock formations underneath. Although it took a lot of effort to lay the foundation like this, you don’t have to worry about the lower limit of the foundation when the dam is built in the future. You don't have to worry about the quality when you step on things.
Finally, Mr. Chen found the right person and did the right thing for the first time.
Mr. Chen and Chen Yujie took a fancy to this ground, but Chen Yujie still had some concerns.
"Father, do you think this place is a bit far from home? If so, mother..."
"Mom! It's good for you to be filial, but you can't always be a mother, mother, have you not been weaned yet! Even if this place is a little far away from home, it is not far from the land allocated to your family. You What are you in a hurry for?"
After saying a few words, Chen Yujie was speechless.
The next thing is to choose a date. When the family returns home, they must eat and drink for this old man Mo, hoping to choose a good day to start construction, isn't that right?Who can tell someone to be capable? Although this ability seems worthless in Chen Yiyi's eyes, he has traveled to this ancient time after all, and those who should do as the Romans do as the Romans do.
But when watching the day, Chen Yiyi didn't go back with her, but went to Qin's house.
At this time, Qin Zhao just caught up with the ten-day two-day holiday, and saw the Chen family asking about the location and looking at Fengshui, Qin Zhao was the most curious.
He had already run to Chen Yiyi's side to ask questions.
"Yiyi, your family is looking at Fengshui and books, are you going to build a house?"
"That's right, it's probably across from your house, and we're the only ones who moved here."
"That's great!"
"Well~"
Chen Yiyi looked at Qin Zhao, why are you so excited.
Obviously you are not here for one and four-fifths of the time.
Xu Shi noticed that he had lost his composure, and Qin Zhao laughed a little embarrassedly.
Instead, she went back to her home to have a look, and then to the opposite side, with a suspicious smile appearing on her face from time to time, making Chen Yiyi a little panicked.
This child is probably stunned, alas, he shouldn't have been sent to Saobao Children's Shoes to seek medical treatment, this is good, he didn't learn anything from the doctor, he was stupid first.
Qin Zhao volunteered to take Chen Yiyi to check the terrain. In fact, he had a small calculation in his heart that he could stay with Chen Yiyi for a while.
Chen Yiyi focused on scanning around with the Lingshi, drawing the blueprint of the future house in her mind.
In the afternoon, Qin Zhaoniang asked Chen Yiyi to have dinner at home, and Chen Yiyi didn't refuse, so they ate together.
There was no old man Qin at the dinner table. When Chen Yiyi asked, he realized that old man Qin hadn't eaten at the table earlier, and was basically lying on the bed.
When talking about these things, Qin Zhao's face showed a sadness that didn't match his age, mixed with some firmness.
This is probably why he studied medicine.
Chen Yiyi thought so.
I feel sorry for Qin Zhao in my heart. He is such a young child, but he has to bear these things. First, he is going to build a house at his own house, and there is not enough manpower. When the time comes, he will specially ask Qin's family to help, just pay the wages. Why? You can earn more than doing some farm work in a day.
The whole meal was spent with Qin Zhaoniang's enthusiasm, obviously, Chen Yiyi regretted it.
Although the food on the dinner table was not as good as the daily food of Chen Yiyi's family, compared with the Qin family's family situation, it was obviously much better.
As for the fried golden eggs, Qin Zhaoniang kept putting them into Chen Yiyi's bowl, and Qin Yueyan often asked Chen Yiyi to eat them, not wanting to treat Chen Yiyi badly.
Seeing that everyone's food is mediocre, and the only oily food is in my bowl, how can I be ashamed.
After dinner, Qin Zhaoniang wanted to send Chen Yiyi off, and Qin Zhao followed along, probably educating Chen Yiyi along the way to listen to her parents and learn more about the housework that girls do. She was even more nagging than Wang.
Chen Yiyi could only smile and listen, wondering in her heart, why didn't she notice it before?
Qin Zhao, who was well aware of Chen Yiyi's inner state at the moment, snickered, thinking that this was very amusing.
Back home, I heard Chen Yujie and Wang Shi talk about it.
Now September is almost over, and the best day to start construction is the first day of October. At this time, firecrackers should be set off to lay the foundation.
If there were enough manpower before, only Mr. Chen can help a little. Mr. Chen is fundamentally injured. Mr. Chen is a lazy guy. What we are discussing now is to hire those helpers.
Moving bricks and mud, and laying foundations are labor-intensive tasks that ordinary people can do.And repairing houses and laying tiles and walls is a technical job, and you have to find a professional person to do it.
Mr. Chen will help you find people with technical skills, so don't worry.
For those who work hard, Chen Yujie and Mrs. Wang have to discuss and find them.
If we want to repair the house quickly, fifteen helpers are indispensable. Wang's natal family can provide two labors, and Chen Yujie has to find wood to plan furniture, which can't help.
In this way, there are only thirteen people left.
There are helpers in the village, but honestly there are not many.
These Wangs all know that some deep-fried dough sticks are completely dependent on wages, and they do things very well, and they have to be watched by the boss to do some work.
The family discussed for a while, and decided to find honest helpers in the seven villages.
That leaves six people to find.
"Father, we can invite Uncle Qin, who happens to have nothing to do right now."
"Yes, you can find the brothers of the Qin family."
This Mrs. Wang agrees, "Yes, the Qin family has helped our family a lot. This time, our helpers take care of the food and pay wages every day, and we should take advantage of this time to repay others. By the way, the girls of the Qin family are also good at cooking. That's right, I have to eat when I'm working, and I can't do it alone, and the second sister-in-law has to take care of the children, so it's not a good idea to ask the sister of the Qin family to help and pay her wages."
"Well, mother, you are right."
These notes were unanimously agreed upon by the whole family.
The remaining five people still need to be found, and these five people still have to find people in the village.
Then it's time to filter.
Chen Yujie first thought of the third brother Wang, the younger brother of the second Wang family who rescued Chen Yiyi.
Mentioning this person made Wang a little concerned.
It's not that I don't like Wang San, Wang San will be good at that time, that is, Wang San's brother's daughter-in-law, Wang Er's wife, and when the time comes to get in touch with Wang Er's wife, what if something happens?
Chen Yiyi disagreed.
"Mother, this can't be confused, people say they are my saviors, how can they be like this because of Wang Er's family."
"Well, Yiyi, what you're saying is, I was scared by Wang's second wife's family, that's shameless."
When Mrs. Wang mentioned Wang's second daughter-in-law, she couldn't hide the disgust on her face.
Chen Yiyi smiled, "Mother, why worry about that?"
"It's rare to see you hate someone, daughter-in-law, it's really rare for you to look so angry."
Chen Yujie looked at Wang Shi, and felt that it was quite pleasing when Wang Shi had a temper like this.
"Hmph, you guys don't know, when I first got married, I was with the daughter-in-law in the village, she stabbed me a lot, and then she said that about Yiyi, I really get annoyed when I think of her, and I want to hide when I see her. "
When Wang said it now, she always had lingering fears.
This will not work!
This thinking must be changed.
Chen Yiyi said seriously: "Mother, how could you be like this? If the second daughter-in-law of Wang bullies you, you have to fight against her. For some people, the more you back down, the more you are afraid of her, and the more she goes too far. What's wrong, it's obviously someone else Wrong, is it you who backed down?"
Wang Shi listened, she didn't know this truth in her heart, but she just thought that one more thing is worse than one less thing.
"I know, but if you always quarrel with others, you will have a bad reputation. The second daughter-in-law may not care, but I do."
"Mother, why don't you understand? It's the second daughter-in-law Wang who is so arrogant to save you from giving in all the time. If it were me, she would suffer if she made a fuss. Otherwise, what's the point of enduring it all the time?" ."
"Well, I agree with what Yiyi said, mother of the child, don't worry, no matter what you do outside, I will stand by your side, and outsiders will never try to bully you."
As soon as Wang Shi heard this, her heart moved, she felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned slightly red.
Chen Yiyi twitched while watching, she didn't respond to what she said just now, but what Chen Yujie said made Wang look so shy, tsk tsk tsk.
Thinking of Chen Yujie's frequent visits to Wang's natal family since the separation of the family, the Tang family and Mr. Wang must have instilled ideas in Chen Yujie.
In addition, Chen Yujie was really good to Wang later, because there was no conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wang's mood became more and more refreshing, and with good things to support, she was much more beautiful.
Looking at it, Chen Yujie liked it more in his heart, and it may have been cleared up for a while, and he also knew his mistake, so there is nothing to say about Chen Yujie's kindness to Wang.
The two of them are now just like the man and woman when they were passionately in love, making Chen Yiyi almost feel that she is not her own, and is always ignored.
It's really a man who forgets a woman, so it's a waste of time for Wang to worry about it.
The decision is made, and Wang San enters it, so there are still four people left.
At this time, Chen Yujie thought of Wang Dahai who had given the jar to his family before.
This person has always been working with jars, so he has a careful mind, and he also has strength to carry the jar that day.
Chen Yujie also had some conversations with this person, and learned that he also has an older brother and his wife's younger brother.
After some conversations, Chen Yujie still thought he was a cheerful person at that time, so it seems that these three people can also be found.
Fourteen people, almost.
That's fine, tomorrow I'll go talk to the people I'm looking for in the village.
The rest is to negotiate wages.
These families mainly listened to Chen Yiyi. After thinking about it and knowing it in the town, Chen Yiyi felt that ten cents was about the same.
Originally, I was thinking of following the principle of whoever does the most gets the most money, but since the calculation is quite troublesome, let it go.
The last thing to talk about is the food served at that time.
You can't be sloppy in this aspect. If you don't do it well, you will be criticized. When the time comes, the workers will not work hard to repair the house.
We started to discuss it, and we will do it together with Qin Zhaoniang.
There are two meals for dinner and lunch. There are about twenty people in total. Don't worry about the rice, and there are two hundred catties for the share.
There is no need to rush the dishes, there are still many in the back of the yard.
The most important thing is to buy meat, and this will have to wait until the time to go to the market.
The next day, the family first went to Qin's house to talk about it, and Qin Yueyan naturally agreed.
Qin Zhaoniang has concerns about Wang's proposal.
"Sister, needless to say, I'm fine as long as I'm helping you, but my father-in-law needs someone to take care of him every day. If I go, I'll have three meals a day."
"I took care of grandpa and saved it."
Qin Zhao made a sound.
"But, you are going to town tomorrow, how do you take care of it?"
Chen Yiyi didn't expect this at the time, but now it seems that it is really difficult.
After some discussion, Chen Yiyi and Wang gave up.
After talking to the seven helpers in the village, he went to find Wang San at the risk of arguing with Wang Er's wife, and Wang San agreed.
During the period, Chen Yiyi saw Wang Gou'er, who was surprised and happy at the sudden arrival of Chen Yiyi's house.
She kept sneaking around and watched, wanting to come in but not coming in.
Finally, when Chen Yiyi was about to leave, she boldly ran up to Chen Yiyi and gave Chen Yiyi a candy.
"You take it and eat."
After speaking, he ran away quickly.
Wang San looked at his nephew with great interest, and his meaningful eyes passed over Chen Yiyi and Wang Gou'er.
"This……"
He holds a candy in his hand, which is actually a rock candy. In ancient times, candy was very expensive, and there was nothing to eat.
"You gave me carrots last time."
The dog that ran away was actually watching secretly from the sidelines.
Seeing Chen Yiyi's puzzled eyes, she explained there aloud.
Chen Yiyi: "..."
Wang: "..."
Take the candy, since Wang Gouer can't come over, Chen Yiyi doesn't have to worry about it anymore, don't take advantage of the bastard, let him take it, just give it to him.
Mrs. Wang is going to be tangled up again now. Look, Wang's second daughter-in-law is so personal, and this son is so polite. It seems that it was not right for me to treat this child like this before.
However, his mother is really annoying.
Alas, why is life full of difficulties everywhere?
Exclamation.
The last one is Wang Dahai's family, who Chen Yiyi is most familiar with.
Before reaching the door of the house, Wang Xiaodie flew out.
"Yiyi! You finally came to play with me! Haha!"
Being attacked by Wang Xiaodie's hug attack, Chen Yiyi was in pain but also happy.
"We're here to find your father and your mother."
"My father and mother are at home, I will take you in."
Following Wang Xiaodie to Wang Dahai's house, suddenly, Wang Xiaodie stopped suddenly.
"No, we have to wait for a while."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that he was about to go to the house, why did he stop?
Chen Yiyi was puzzled, and Chen Yujie and Wang were equally puzzled.
I saw Wang Xiaodie frowning.
A regretful and tangled face.
"Actually, I should have said that my parents were not at home, but I told you the truth."
"why?!"
Wang Xiaodie looked around, lowered her voice, and leaned into Chen Yiyi's ear.
"Yiyi, my father is being punished by my mother to kneel down on the washboard. He drank a lot of wine last night. If you go over now, you will be ashamed if you see my father."
"But... haven't you always been afraid of your father? Why do you care about his embarrassing things now?"
Wang Xiaodie looked helpless.
"I can't help it, but I can't stop my father being punished by my mother to kneel on the washboard, but I told him before that if I don't embarrass him within three days, I will buy me a flower rope. If Now that you are gone, I still brought it, so he will definitely not buy it for me."
"Yo, your father was punished by your mother to kneel on the washboard."
Chen Yujie was overjoyed, he never thought that Wang Dahai was still a strict wife.
Wang Xiaodie: "..." It's over.
"Uh, actually, Xiaodie, I just wanted to remind you that your voice just now was actually not low at all."
Chen Yiyi was also very helpless.
Wang covered her mouth and snickered, this doll is so cute, it would be great if her Yiyi could be so cheerful sometime.
"Oh,,, then you all know, my flower rope is useless." Wang Xiaodie was very sad.
"It's okay, it's okay, my parents can just pretend they don't know. When the time comes, you'll be at the back and say you won't be able to stop us."
"okay."
Wang Xiaodie agreed and followed Chen Yiyi.
Instead, it was Wang Shi and Chen Yujie who walked in front.
You can vaguely hear Wang Xiaodie muttering from behind, anyway, my father didn't kneel for a while, so it's not a problem to wait like this, just go in and forget it, if my father doesn't buy it for me, I will just buy it for myself. The incident of him stealing a drink last time was exposed, and made him kneel one more time.
God knows, how uncomfortable it is for Chen Yiyi to hold back her laughter, and she will be hurt internally in the future.
In the room, sure enough, Wang Dahai was kneeling on the washboard.
Xiaodie Niang is really drinking tea, very leisurely.
Seeing someone coming, Wang Dahai didn't panic, Xiaodie Niang was a little anxious.
Hastily kicked over and told Wang Dahai to kick.
Looking at Wang Xiaodie who was secretly hiding behind, he roared loudly.
"Wang Xiaodie! Didn't I tell you to keep watch?"
"Xiaodie Niang, don't be aggressive with Xiaodie, we are looking for you for something."
Seeing Wang's lively talk, Xiaodie Niang smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, then, then you guys, what's the rush?"
"This, I discussed it with Brother Hai, Brother Hai? Let's go outside."
Wang Dahai looked at Xiaodie Niang, and Xiaodie Niang cast a glance, and then Wang Dahai followed Chen Yujie out.
The only ones left in the room are Wang Shi and Chen Yiyi, and Xiaodie.
Xiaodie Niang's way of hospitality was still good, she immediately gave way to Chen Yiyi and Wang Shi, and served sugar water.
Wang spoke first.
"Xiaodie's mother, I have something to do today, I don't know if it will work."
"Just say whatever you want, and I'll know if it's okay after you say it."
Xiaodie Niang, who always had a smiling face to Chen Yiyi, said this to Wang Shi, and Wang Shi was embarrassed for a moment, and she didn't know how to reply.
Chen Yiyi looked, why, this is the first time we met, and I always thought that Xiaodie Niang was easy to get along with, but I met Wang Shi, and I didn't like to see her.
Wang was at a loss.
Chen Yiyi came to smooth things over.
"Auntie, my house is going to be repaired, and I have to take care of the meals, but my mother can't do it alone, so I don't know if I can ask you to help. We cover the three meals, and we will pay you wages. It just so happens that I also call Die Uncle Dahai went to help, and Xiaodie also went to eat together, how convenient it is."
"Well, it's okay, just go and help you, there are other people in this family anyway."
This time it was refreshing, Xiaodie Niang agreed.
"Haha, Yiyi, so I can play with you every day. Just right!"
Wang Xiaodie was the happiest, holding Chen Yiyi's hand as soon as she came out.
"Do you really miss me, or do you miss my carrots? Huh?"
"Uh, hehe, Yiyi, your radishes are delicious."
Seeing Wang Xiaodie sticking out her tongue cutely, Chen Yiyi didn't hesitate, as if there was nothing to embarrass this girl.
Here, Wang Dahai and Chen Yujie have also negotiated. On the first day of October, they will bring their brothers to help.
On the way home, Wang endured and endured, but still couldn't help asking Chen Yiyi.
"Yiyi, Xiaodie's mother, why doesn't she seem to want to see me, I see she always smiles at you."
This Chen Yiyi really didn't know how to answer Wang, because she didn't know either.
"Mother, don't think too much about it. Xiaodie Niang always talks like this. It is probably the first time I see you. I have been to her house several times. She will naturally smile when she is familiar with you. If she really doesn't want to see you , can you promise to help our family?"
"It's about time..."
That being said, Mrs. Wang is still a little thoughtful.
Back home, Chen Yiyi took out 15 taels of silver and gave Wang five taels of food money for grocery shopping.
For the rest, he estimated the wages for ten days and gave Chen Yujie one or two and a half taels of silver.
There are still three days until the first day of October.
Chen Yiyi has been busy these few days asking about radishes everywhere, and learned how many radishes there are in the village.
There are still about 20 days left, and the newly soaked radishes are almost ready. I was planning to start harvesting radishes now, but there is no place to put them. I can only start harvesting radishes after the house is repaired.
Seeing the day when the groundbreaking was approaching, the Chen family felt restless.
Chen Xinhua has been studying in the school hall in the town, and he has heard about things at home, but Mr. Chen does not allow Chen Xinhua to go home. Chen Xinhua has been eating, lodging, and traveling in the school hall these days. Fortunately, nothing happened before. At that time, I paid a lot of money, which was still enough for Chen Xinhua.
Boss Chen found Mr. Chen that day and said that he hadn't seen his son for a long time, and he missed him, and hoped Mr. Chen would allow him to bring Chen Xinhua back.
Mr. Chen was very concerned about his elder grandson, and he didn't want the family affairs to disturb Chen Xinhua, but seeing his elder son snot and tearing up, pitifully tight, his heart softened.
In the end, he let go and allowed Boss Chen to go to the town to pick Chen Xinhua home.
Unexpectedly, Boss Chen didn't leave, and stood there motionless, as if he wanted to say something.
"What? What else are you going to do?"
"Well, if I go to the town, I don't have any money. This is to see Hua'er, I can't lose face for him."
ask for money.
This is Boss Chen's intuitive wish.
Now that the family is separated, the food and drink expenses of Mr. Chen's family should be borne by himself, but Mr. Chen knows what Jiang's family is like. At that time, Mr. Chen was injured again. You can still rely on your own help.
But now, Boss Chen asked for money!
This is what makes it difficult for Mr. Chen, because Mr. Chen really has no money now.
"Boss, it's not that you didn't see that I, as a father, didn't hide it from you. There is only so much money in the house. Who knows what else will be needed urgently, and where there is money for you."
But I can't go to the school empty-handed. When I meet Huaer's teacher, what should I do if I don't have a gift and let the teacher look down upon me. "
"this……"
Mr. Chen was entangled. Face is something that Mr. Chen valued all the time.
But now, he really has no money.
Looking at old man Chen's face, Boss Chen was already prepared, and he didn't really want to ask old man Chen for money.
"Father, I know you are out of money, why don't you borrow some from my third brother first."
"Borrow some? From your third brother? Your third brother is just about to build a house, and I don't know if the money is enough."
Mr. Chen disagreed.
"Father, look, the third younger brother has already repaired the house by himself, the money must be the same, I just borrowed some, and went to see Hua'er first.
Besides, you have also seen the business of the third brother's family, even if it is close, it will be earned back soon. "
"But, it's all separated."
Mr. Chen felt that this was a bit bad, and it was fine to bear the responsibility of Mr. Chen himself, but Chen Yujie was the youngest, and Mr. Chen, the eldest son, how could he come to ask for the help of the youngest.
"Father, we are all one family. Even if the family is separated, I still treat the third brother's family as a family. If you borrow a little now, I will make money later. If you pay back double, how can you lose the third brother?"
Being moved by Boss Chen, and also because he really wanted his grandson, Mr. Chen felt a little loose in his heart.
"Then, go ask the third child."
I found Chen Yujie who was still busy planning to plan the furniture. It happened that Boss Chen didn't see Chen Yiyi.
He can see it clearly when he writes the days like this. Chen Yiyi is the most difficult person in the Sanfang family. Many things are ruined by Chen Yiyi, a stinky girl, just like the last marriage with the ghost. Two silver coins are in hand.
Where is it like now, I have come to such a fate.
Resisting the unwillingness in his heart, Boss Chen showed a big smile to Chen Yujie.
"Third brother, congratulations."
Seeing that it was his father and elder brother, Chen Yujie hurriedly put down his work.
"Father, brother, you are here."
Chen Yujie put down the work in his hands, and greeted Mr. Chen and Boss Chen.
"Third brother, brother came to see you for something today."
"What's the matter? Brother, tell me."
Chen Yujie felt strange in his heart, thinking about his elder brother, he never said anything to ask for his help, what happened first?
"That's right, I thought, I haven't seen Hua'er these days, and I want to go to Hua'er. But I don't have any money, so I just go to see the teacher empty-handed, I'm afraid."
As Boss Chen spoke, he peeked at Chen Yujie's face. When Chen Yujie heard this, he immediately opened his mouth.
"This is Mr. Teacher, so you should give me something."
"That's right, but unfortunately there is no money."
Boss Chen was very embarrassed, as if talking about his pain.
"This……"
Chen Yujie seemed to have thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision.
"Then, how about I lend some to you first."
"Well, thank you, third brother."
"This is a family, thank you, isn't this what it should be."
Feeling happy or feeling a sudden sense of accomplishment from Boss Chen's thank you, Chen Yujie couldn't help smiling.
This smile was seen in Boss Chen's eyes, and the resentment was in Boss Chen's heart.
I am the eldest son!
To actually say thank you to you, the youngest, thinking that I am more promising than my boss Chen, and you think that building a house will be great for you!Hmph, let's take advantage of you first, then you will know later that big brother is big brother after all, just smile now.
Chen Yujie was so immersed in the brotherly love that he didn't notice the color in Chen Boss' eyes at all.
Taking out a tael of silver, Chen Yujie generously handed it to Boss Chen, and the two of them talked about their brotherhood again.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Chen felt very relieved, the brothers are friendly, his youngest son is also promising, and his eldest son also has the air of being the boss.
After getting the money, Boss Chen went to the town the next day. However, he was not heading to the school, but to another place.
When the first day of work started, everyone was beaming. According to the line drawn by the master, a group of people began to lay the foundation.
The materials are all dug directly from the river. The current things are all made by the ancestors, and they are more useful than modern reinforced concrete.
Everything went on in an orderly manner until the third day. That night, the Wang family had been busy all day, and Chen Yiyi was very tired after running errands with Wang Xiaodie.
Chen Yujie looked at Chen Yiyi, feeling a little embarrassed, but couldn't help calling Chen Yiyi back.
"Yiyi, Daddy has something to tell you."
"what's up?"
Chen Yiyi felt that Chen Yujie must have done something stupid.
"That's right, won't there still be workers tomorrow? Wages will be paid."
"Didn't you get paid? It's only been three days, and it's over?"
When he said this, Chen Yujie felt even more embarrassed.
"Well, last time, I lent a tael of silver to elder brother."
"Borrow! Ask your uncle to return it!"
"However, even though you know your uncle's current situation, and he is going to visit your elder brother, it is necessary to salute the teacher."
The more Chen Yiyi listened, the angrier she became. What's the matter, Chen Yujie is really not a fake fool.
"I haven't heard of it yet. The teacher in that school charges a tael of silver for gifts. Is this the book taught by the champion?"
"No, I was thinking, our family is short of money now, so it's okay to lend some money to your uncle. Oh, it's not your uncle who asked for a tael of silver, I lent it to him."
"Our family is not short of money? Chen Yujie, my father and my brother are helping our family, isn't it just to save electricity money? Yiyi didn't buy anything for herself, we didn't even have a new dress, didn't we just Saving money? You're squandering before the business even starts making money!"
Mrs. Wang is angry, so angry, what is this.
"I, don't I have to pay it back? How can I call it squandering? This is not an outsider."
The more Chen Yujie said, the expressions of Chen Yiyi and Wang became colder, until Chen Yujie didn't have the confidence to say anything.
"Okay! I will borrow it, and I will give my mother all the wages after that. My mother will send it. You can work on your furniture then."
Chen Yiyi didn't want to argue with Chen Yujie anymore, but the money in the future could no longer be handed over to Chen Yujie.
At first, he thought about making Chen Yujie look good, but now, forget it.
Knowing that I did something wrong, how can I decide to borrow money by myself, I should discuss it with my family.
Chen Yujie was also very wronged, obviously he was kind at the time, but as a result, Boss Chen almost ignored Chen Yujie when he got the money. In addition, Boss Chen was already in good health, and now he couldn't see Chen Yujie at home.
After such a turmoil, everything is still proceeding calmly and orderly.
until one night.
A figure flashed into the woodshed of Chen Yiyi's house.
(End of this chapter)
The family went home and discussed it, and roughly calculated that the cost of materials would cost four taels of silver, and there would be additional furniture and daily necessities later, which would also cost a few taels of silver.
As for the new benches and some tables, Chen Yujie happened to learn how to be a carpenter, so he could go to the mountains to cut trees to build them.
According to the original plan, Chen Yiyi planned to build a small house with six rooms.Unlike Mr. Chen's courtyard, the house that Chen Yiyi was planning to build had a dam in front, so there was no need to block it with a courtyard wall.
In the back, you can build a small backyard by yourself, and block it with a courtyard wall.
You can plant some fruit trees by yourself, or raise some chickens and ducks, etc.
As for the location, Mr. Chen insisted on visiting the old people in the village to find a place with good Feng Shui.
Gu Nian Chen also had good intentions, so Chen Yiyi stopped insisting, although Chen Yiyi had already found a good place with a sunny back.
After buying a few catties of good wine in Chen Yujie, and serving good dishes and meals, the old man Mo in the village walked slowly behind, looked around the village four times, and finally found the flat ground opposite the door of Qin Zhao's house.
"It's here, it's a good place, the feng shui is good, and the ground is a good place. If you build a house here, your descendants will prosper and your wealth will continue."
"Really? Can children and grandchildren prosper?"
Mr. Chen attached great importance to this sentence.
Old man Mo's beard was puffed up, his eyebrows were knotted together, and his face was very unhappy.
"What's the matter? You still don't believe me, old man Mo? I, old man Mo, have been watching this Feng Shui for so many years. When did I get it wrong? If you don't believe me, I won't accept your gift money. Don't build houses here. That's it."
After finishing speaking, old man Mo pushed up his sleeves and made a gesture to leave.
"Hey, look, the old man is just happy, I don't mean that. Why are you angry?"
With old man Mo's actions like this, Chen Yujie believed in old man Mo's ability even more. If a person who is incapable, can he have such confidence?
Chen Yiyi looked at the place opposite Qin Zhao's house.
The terrain is really good, and it is also a sunny place. The land behind is so flat that it is enough to build a backyard behind.
Behind the key is a small hill, and there are enough flat places. After repairing the house, there is no need to worry about sudden landslides.
Downward, there is still a certain height. In this way, the house is built above the ground and has a distance from the road. At that time, a ramp can be built to facilitate the descent.
Chen Yiyi likes this very much, and she doesn't have to be afraid of getting damp when the house is built in the future.
I scanned the hardness of the foundation with spirit stones, and it was unexpectedly honest, unlike ordinary soft mud, with thick rock formations underneath. Although it took a lot of effort to lay the foundation like this, you don’t have to worry about the lower limit of the foundation when the dam is built in the future. You don't have to worry about the quality when you step on things.
Finally, Mr. Chen found the right person and did the right thing for the first time.
Mr. Chen and Chen Yujie took a fancy to this ground, but Chen Yujie still had some concerns.
"Father, do you think this place is a bit far from home? If so, mother..."
"Mom! It's good for you to be filial, but you can't always be a mother, mother, have you not been weaned yet! Even if this place is a little far away from home, it is not far from the land allocated to your family. You What are you in a hurry for?"
After saying a few words, Chen Yujie was speechless.
The next thing is to choose a date. When the family returns home, they must eat and drink for this old man Mo, hoping to choose a good day to start construction, isn't that right?Who can tell someone to be capable? Although this ability seems worthless in Chen Yiyi's eyes, he has traveled to this ancient time after all, and those who should do as the Romans do as the Romans do.
But when watching the day, Chen Yiyi didn't go back with her, but went to Qin's house.
At this time, Qin Zhao just caught up with the ten-day two-day holiday, and saw the Chen family asking about the location and looking at Fengshui, Qin Zhao was the most curious.
He had already run to Chen Yiyi's side to ask questions.
"Yiyi, your family is looking at Fengshui and books, are you going to build a house?"
"That's right, it's probably across from your house, and we're the only ones who moved here."
"That's great!"
"Well~"
Chen Yiyi looked at Qin Zhao, why are you so excited.
Obviously you are not here for one and four-fifths of the time.
Xu Shi noticed that he had lost his composure, and Qin Zhao laughed a little embarrassedly.
Instead, she went back to her home to have a look, and then to the opposite side, with a suspicious smile appearing on her face from time to time, making Chen Yiyi a little panicked.
This child is probably stunned, alas, he shouldn't have been sent to Saobao Children's Shoes to seek medical treatment, this is good, he didn't learn anything from the doctor, he was stupid first.
Qin Zhao volunteered to take Chen Yiyi to check the terrain. In fact, he had a small calculation in his heart that he could stay with Chen Yiyi for a while.
Chen Yiyi focused on scanning around with the Lingshi, drawing the blueprint of the future house in her mind.
In the afternoon, Qin Zhaoniang asked Chen Yiyi to have dinner at home, and Chen Yiyi didn't refuse, so they ate together.
There was no old man Qin at the dinner table. When Chen Yiyi asked, he realized that old man Qin hadn't eaten at the table earlier, and was basically lying on the bed.
When talking about these things, Qin Zhao's face showed a sadness that didn't match his age, mixed with some firmness.
This is probably why he studied medicine.
Chen Yiyi thought so.
I feel sorry for Qin Zhao in my heart. He is such a young child, but he has to bear these things. First, he is going to build a house at his own house, and there is not enough manpower. When the time comes, he will specially ask Qin's family to help, just pay the wages. Why? You can earn more than doing some farm work in a day.
The whole meal was spent with Qin Zhaoniang's enthusiasm, obviously, Chen Yiyi regretted it.
Although the food on the dinner table was not as good as the daily food of Chen Yiyi's family, compared with the Qin family's family situation, it was obviously much better.
As for the fried golden eggs, Qin Zhaoniang kept putting them into Chen Yiyi's bowl, and Qin Yueyan often asked Chen Yiyi to eat them, not wanting to treat Chen Yiyi badly.
Seeing that everyone's food is mediocre, and the only oily food is in my bowl, how can I be ashamed.
After dinner, Qin Zhaoniang wanted to send Chen Yiyi off, and Qin Zhao followed along, probably educating Chen Yiyi along the way to listen to her parents and learn more about the housework that girls do. She was even more nagging than Wang.
Chen Yiyi could only smile and listen, wondering in her heart, why didn't she notice it before?
Qin Zhao, who was well aware of Chen Yiyi's inner state at the moment, snickered, thinking that this was very amusing.
Back home, I heard Chen Yujie and Wang Shi talk about it.
Now September is almost over, and the best day to start construction is the first day of October. At this time, firecrackers should be set off to lay the foundation.
If there were enough manpower before, only Mr. Chen can help a little. Mr. Chen is fundamentally injured. Mr. Chen is a lazy guy. What we are discussing now is to hire those helpers.
Moving bricks and mud, and laying foundations are labor-intensive tasks that ordinary people can do.And repairing houses and laying tiles and walls is a technical job, and you have to find a professional person to do it.
Mr. Chen will help you find people with technical skills, so don't worry.
For those who work hard, Chen Yujie and Mrs. Wang have to discuss and find them.
If we want to repair the house quickly, fifteen helpers are indispensable. Wang's natal family can provide two labors, and Chen Yujie has to find wood to plan furniture, which can't help.
In this way, there are only thirteen people left.
There are helpers in the village, but honestly there are not many.
These Wangs all know that some deep-fried dough sticks are completely dependent on wages, and they do things very well, and they have to be watched by the boss to do some work.
The family discussed for a while, and decided to find honest helpers in the seven villages.
That leaves six people to find.
"Father, we can invite Uncle Qin, who happens to have nothing to do right now."
"Yes, you can find the brothers of the Qin family."
This Mrs. Wang agrees, "Yes, the Qin family has helped our family a lot. This time, our helpers take care of the food and pay wages every day, and we should take advantage of this time to repay others. By the way, the girls of the Qin family are also good at cooking. That's right, I have to eat when I'm working, and I can't do it alone, and the second sister-in-law has to take care of the children, so it's not a good idea to ask the sister of the Qin family to help and pay her wages."
"Well, mother, you are right."
These notes were unanimously agreed upon by the whole family.
The remaining five people still need to be found, and these five people still have to find people in the village.
Then it's time to filter.
Chen Yujie first thought of the third brother Wang, the younger brother of the second Wang family who rescued Chen Yiyi.
Mentioning this person made Wang a little concerned.
It's not that I don't like Wang San, Wang San will be good at that time, that is, Wang San's brother's daughter-in-law, Wang Er's wife, and when the time comes to get in touch with Wang Er's wife, what if something happens?
Chen Yiyi disagreed.
"Mother, this can't be confused, people say they are my saviors, how can they be like this because of Wang Er's family."
"Well, Yiyi, what you're saying is, I was scared by Wang's second wife's family, that's shameless."
When Mrs. Wang mentioned Wang's second daughter-in-law, she couldn't hide the disgust on her face.
Chen Yiyi smiled, "Mother, why worry about that?"
"It's rare to see you hate someone, daughter-in-law, it's really rare for you to look so angry."
Chen Yujie looked at Wang Shi, and felt that it was quite pleasing when Wang Shi had a temper like this.
"Hmph, you guys don't know, when I first got married, I was with the daughter-in-law in the village, she stabbed me a lot, and then she said that about Yiyi, I really get annoyed when I think of her, and I want to hide when I see her. "
When Wang said it now, she always had lingering fears.
This will not work!
This thinking must be changed.
Chen Yiyi said seriously: "Mother, how could you be like this? If the second daughter-in-law of Wang bullies you, you have to fight against her. For some people, the more you back down, the more you are afraid of her, and the more she goes too far. What's wrong, it's obviously someone else Wrong, is it you who backed down?"
Wang Shi listened, she didn't know this truth in her heart, but she just thought that one more thing is worse than one less thing.
"I know, but if you always quarrel with others, you will have a bad reputation. The second daughter-in-law may not care, but I do."
"Mother, why don't you understand? It's the second daughter-in-law Wang who is so arrogant to save you from giving in all the time. If it were me, she would suffer if she made a fuss. Otherwise, what's the point of enduring it all the time?" ."
"Well, I agree with what Yiyi said, mother of the child, don't worry, no matter what you do outside, I will stand by your side, and outsiders will never try to bully you."
As soon as Wang Shi heard this, her heart moved, she felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned slightly red.
Chen Yiyi twitched while watching, she didn't respond to what she said just now, but what Chen Yujie said made Wang look so shy, tsk tsk tsk.
Thinking of Chen Yujie's frequent visits to Wang's natal family since the separation of the family, the Tang family and Mr. Wang must have instilled ideas in Chen Yujie.
In addition, Chen Yujie was really good to Wang later, because there was no conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wang's mood became more and more refreshing, and with good things to support, she was much more beautiful.
Looking at it, Chen Yujie liked it more in his heart, and it may have been cleared up for a while, and he also knew his mistake, so there is nothing to say about Chen Yujie's kindness to Wang.
The two of them are now just like the man and woman when they were passionately in love, making Chen Yiyi almost feel that she is not her own, and is always ignored.
It's really a man who forgets a woman, so it's a waste of time for Wang to worry about it.
The decision is made, and Wang San enters it, so there are still four people left.
At this time, Chen Yujie thought of Wang Dahai who had given the jar to his family before.
This person has always been working with jars, so he has a careful mind, and he also has strength to carry the jar that day.
Chen Yujie also had some conversations with this person, and learned that he also has an older brother and his wife's younger brother.
After some conversations, Chen Yujie still thought he was a cheerful person at that time, so it seems that these three people can also be found.
Fourteen people, almost.
That's fine, tomorrow I'll go talk to the people I'm looking for in the village.
The rest is to negotiate wages.
These families mainly listened to Chen Yiyi. After thinking about it and knowing it in the town, Chen Yiyi felt that ten cents was about the same.
Originally, I was thinking of following the principle of whoever does the most gets the most money, but since the calculation is quite troublesome, let it go.
The last thing to talk about is the food served at that time.
You can't be sloppy in this aspect. If you don't do it well, you will be criticized. When the time comes, the workers will not work hard to repair the house.
We started to discuss it, and we will do it together with Qin Zhaoniang.
There are two meals for dinner and lunch. There are about twenty people in total. Don't worry about the rice, and there are two hundred catties for the share.
There is no need to rush the dishes, there are still many in the back of the yard.
The most important thing is to buy meat, and this will have to wait until the time to go to the market.
The next day, the family first went to Qin's house to talk about it, and Qin Yueyan naturally agreed.
Qin Zhaoniang has concerns about Wang's proposal.
"Sister, needless to say, I'm fine as long as I'm helping you, but my father-in-law needs someone to take care of him every day. If I go, I'll have three meals a day."
"I took care of grandpa and saved it."
Qin Zhao made a sound.
"But, you are going to town tomorrow, how do you take care of it?"
Chen Yiyi didn't expect this at the time, but now it seems that it is really difficult.
After some discussion, Chen Yiyi and Wang gave up.
After talking to the seven helpers in the village, he went to find Wang San at the risk of arguing with Wang Er's wife, and Wang San agreed.
During the period, Chen Yiyi saw Wang Gou'er, who was surprised and happy at the sudden arrival of Chen Yiyi's house.
She kept sneaking around and watched, wanting to come in but not coming in.
Finally, when Chen Yiyi was about to leave, she boldly ran up to Chen Yiyi and gave Chen Yiyi a candy.
"You take it and eat."
After speaking, he ran away quickly.
Wang San looked at his nephew with great interest, and his meaningful eyes passed over Chen Yiyi and Wang Gou'er.
"This……"
He holds a candy in his hand, which is actually a rock candy. In ancient times, candy was very expensive, and there was nothing to eat.
"You gave me carrots last time."
The dog that ran away was actually watching secretly from the sidelines.
Seeing Chen Yiyi's puzzled eyes, she explained there aloud.
Chen Yiyi: "..."
Wang: "..."
Take the candy, since Wang Gouer can't come over, Chen Yiyi doesn't have to worry about it anymore, don't take advantage of the bastard, let him take it, just give it to him.
Mrs. Wang is going to be tangled up again now. Look, Wang's second daughter-in-law is so personal, and this son is so polite. It seems that it was not right for me to treat this child like this before.
However, his mother is really annoying.
Alas, why is life full of difficulties everywhere?
Exclamation.
The last one is Wang Dahai's family, who Chen Yiyi is most familiar with.
Before reaching the door of the house, Wang Xiaodie flew out.
"Yiyi! You finally came to play with me! Haha!"
Being attacked by Wang Xiaodie's hug attack, Chen Yiyi was in pain but also happy.
"We're here to find your father and your mother."
"My father and mother are at home, I will take you in."
Following Wang Xiaodie to Wang Dahai's house, suddenly, Wang Xiaodie stopped suddenly.
"No, we have to wait for a while."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that he was about to go to the house, why did he stop?
Chen Yiyi was puzzled, and Chen Yujie and Wang were equally puzzled.
I saw Wang Xiaodie frowning.
A regretful and tangled face.
"Actually, I should have said that my parents were not at home, but I told you the truth."
"why?!"
Wang Xiaodie looked around, lowered her voice, and leaned into Chen Yiyi's ear.
"Yiyi, my father is being punished by my mother to kneel down on the washboard. He drank a lot of wine last night. If you go over now, you will be ashamed if you see my father."
"But... haven't you always been afraid of your father? Why do you care about his embarrassing things now?"
Wang Xiaodie looked helpless.
"I can't help it, but I can't stop my father being punished by my mother to kneel on the washboard, but I told him before that if I don't embarrass him within three days, I will buy me a flower rope. If Now that you are gone, I still brought it, so he will definitely not buy it for me."
"Yo, your father was punished by your mother to kneel on the washboard."
Chen Yujie was overjoyed, he never thought that Wang Dahai was still a strict wife.
Wang Xiaodie: "..." It's over.
"Uh, actually, Xiaodie, I just wanted to remind you that your voice just now was actually not low at all."
Chen Yiyi was also very helpless.
Wang covered her mouth and snickered, this doll is so cute, it would be great if her Yiyi could be so cheerful sometime.
"Oh,,, then you all know, my flower rope is useless." Wang Xiaodie was very sad.
"It's okay, it's okay, my parents can just pretend they don't know. When the time comes, you'll be at the back and say you won't be able to stop us."
"okay."
Wang Xiaodie agreed and followed Chen Yiyi.
Instead, it was Wang Shi and Chen Yujie who walked in front.
You can vaguely hear Wang Xiaodie muttering from behind, anyway, my father didn't kneel for a while, so it's not a problem to wait like this, just go in and forget it, if my father doesn't buy it for me, I will just buy it for myself. The incident of him stealing a drink last time was exposed, and made him kneel one more time.
God knows, how uncomfortable it is for Chen Yiyi to hold back her laughter, and she will be hurt internally in the future.
In the room, sure enough, Wang Dahai was kneeling on the washboard.
Xiaodie Niang is really drinking tea, very leisurely.
Seeing someone coming, Wang Dahai didn't panic, Xiaodie Niang was a little anxious.
Hastily kicked over and told Wang Dahai to kick.
Looking at Wang Xiaodie who was secretly hiding behind, he roared loudly.
"Wang Xiaodie! Didn't I tell you to keep watch?"
"Xiaodie Niang, don't be aggressive with Xiaodie, we are looking for you for something."
Seeing Wang's lively talk, Xiaodie Niang smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, then, then you guys, what's the rush?"
"This, I discussed it with Brother Hai, Brother Hai? Let's go outside."
Wang Dahai looked at Xiaodie Niang, and Xiaodie Niang cast a glance, and then Wang Dahai followed Chen Yujie out.
The only ones left in the room are Wang Shi and Chen Yiyi, and Xiaodie.
Xiaodie Niang's way of hospitality was still good, she immediately gave way to Chen Yiyi and Wang Shi, and served sugar water.
Wang spoke first.
"Xiaodie's mother, I have something to do today, I don't know if it will work."
"Just say whatever you want, and I'll know if it's okay after you say it."
Xiaodie Niang, who always had a smiling face to Chen Yiyi, said this to Wang Shi, and Wang Shi was embarrassed for a moment, and she didn't know how to reply.
Chen Yiyi looked, why, this is the first time we met, and I always thought that Xiaodie Niang was easy to get along with, but I met Wang Shi, and I didn't like to see her.
Wang was at a loss.
Chen Yiyi came to smooth things over.
"Auntie, my house is going to be repaired, and I have to take care of the meals, but my mother can't do it alone, so I don't know if I can ask you to help. We cover the three meals, and we will pay you wages. It just so happens that I also call Die Uncle Dahai went to help, and Xiaodie also went to eat together, how convenient it is."
"Well, it's okay, just go and help you, there are other people in this family anyway."
This time it was refreshing, Xiaodie Niang agreed.
"Haha, Yiyi, so I can play with you every day. Just right!"
Wang Xiaodie was the happiest, holding Chen Yiyi's hand as soon as she came out.
"Do you really miss me, or do you miss my carrots? Huh?"
"Uh, hehe, Yiyi, your radishes are delicious."
Seeing Wang Xiaodie sticking out her tongue cutely, Chen Yiyi didn't hesitate, as if there was nothing to embarrass this girl.
Here, Wang Dahai and Chen Yujie have also negotiated. On the first day of October, they will bring their brothers to help.
On the way home, Wang endured and endured, but still couldn't help asking Chen Yiyi.
"Yiyi, Xiaodie's mother, why doesn't she seem to want to see me, I see she always smiles at you."
This Chen Yiyi really didn't know how to answer Wang, because she didn't know either.
"Mother, don't think too much about it. Xiaodie Niang always talks like this. It is probably the first time I see you. I have been to her house several times. She will naturally smile when she is familiar with you. If she really doesn't want to see you , can you promise to help our family?"
"It's about time..."
That being said, Mrs. Wang is still a little thoughtful.
Back home, Chen Yiyi took out 15 taels of silver and gave Wang five taels of food money for grocery shopping.
For the rest, he estimated the wages for ten days and gave Chen Yujie one or two and a half taels of silver.
There are still three days until the first day of October.
Chen Yiyi has been busy these few days asking about radishes everywhere, and learned how many radishes there are in the village.
There are still about 20 days left, and the newly soaked radishes are almost ready. I was planning to start harvesting radishes now, but there is no place to put them. I can only start harvesting radishes after the house is repaired.
Seeing the day when the groundbreaking was approaching, the Chen family felt restless.
Chen Xinhua has been studying in the school hall in the town, and he has heard about things at home, but Mr. Chen does not allow Chen Xinhua to go home. Chen Xinhua has been eating, lodging, and traveling in the school hall these days. Fortunately, nothing happened before. At that time, I paid a lot of money, which was still enough for Chen Xinhua.
Boss Chen found Mr. Chen that day and said that he hadn't seen his son for a long time, and he missed him, and hoped Mr. Chen would allow him to bring Chen Xinhua back.
Mr. Chen was very concerned about his elder grandson, and he didn't want the family affairs to disturb Chen Xinhua, but seeing his elder son snot and tearing up, pitifully tight, his heart softened.
In the end, he let go and allowed Boss Chen to go to the town to pick Chen Xinhua home.
Unexpectedly, Boss Chen didn't leave, and stood there motionless, as if he wanted to say something.
"What? What else are you going to do?"
"Well, if I go to the town, I don't have any money. This is to see Hua'er, I can't lose face for him."
ask for money.
This is Boss Chen's intuitive wish.
Now that the family is separated, the food and drink expenses of Mr. Chen's family should be borne by himself, but Mr. Chen knows what Jiang's family is like. At that time, Mr. Chen was injured again. You can still rely on your own help.
But now, Boss Chen asked for money!
This is what makes it difficult for Mr. Chen, because Mr. Chen really has no money now.
"Boss, it's not that you didn't see that I, as a father, didn't hide it from you. There is only so much money in the house. Who knows what else will be needed urgently, and where there is money for you."
But I can't go to the school empty-handed. When I meet Huaer's teacher, what should I do if I don't have a gift and let the teacher look down upon me. "
"this……"
Mr. Chen was entangled. Face is something that Mr. Chen valued all the time.
But now, he really has no money.
Looking at old man Chen's face, Boss Chen was already prepared, and he didn't really want to ask old man Chen for money.
"Father, I know you are out of money, why don't you borrow some from my third brother first."
"Borrow some? From your third brother? Your third brother is just about to build a house, and I don't know if the money is enough."
Mr. Chen disagreed.
"Father, look, the third younger brother has already repaired the house by himself, the money must be the same, I just borrowed some, and went to see Hua'er first.
Besides, you have also seen the business of the third brother's family, even if it is close, it will be earned back soon. "
"But, it's all separated."
Mr. Chen felt that this was a bit bad, and it was fine to bear the responsibility of Mr. Chen himself, but Chen Yujie was the youngest, and Mr. Chen, the eldest son, how could he come to ask for the help of the youngest.
"Father, we are all one family. Even if the family is separated, I still treat the third brother's family as a family. If you borrow a little now, I will make money later. If you pay back double, how can you lose the third brother?"
Being moved by Boss Chen, and also because he really wanted his grandson, Mr. Chen felt a little loose in his heart.
"Then, go ask the third child."
I found Chen Yujie who was still busy planning to plan the furniture. It happened that Boss Chen didn't see Chen Yiyi.
He can see it clearly when he writes the days like this. Chen Yiyi is the most difficult person in the Sanfang family. Many things are ruined by Chen Yiyi, a stinky girl, just like the last marriage with the ghost. Two silver coins are in hand.
Where is it like now, I have come to such a fate.
Resisting the unwillingness in his heart, Boss Chen showed a big smile to Chen Yujie.
"Third brother, congratulations."
Seeing that it was his father and elder brother, Chen Yujie hurriedly put down his work.
"Father, brother, you are here."
Chen Yujie put down the work in his hands, and greeted Mr. Chen and Boss Chen.
"Third brother, brother came to see you for something today."
"What's the matter? Brother, tell me."
Chen Yujie felt strange in his heart, thinking about his elder brother, he never said anything to ask for his help, what happened first?
"That's right, I thought, I haven't seen Hua'er these days, and I want to go to Hua'er. But I don't have any money, so I just go to see the teacher empty-handed, I'm afraid."
As Boss Chen spoke, he peeked at Chen Yujie's face. When Chen Yujie heard this, he immediately opened his mouth.
"This is Mr. Teacher, so you should give me something."
"That's right, but unfortunately there is no money."
Boss Chen was very embarrassed, as if talking about his pain.
"This……"
Chen Yujie seemed to have thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision.
"Then, how about I lend some to you first."
"Well, thank you, third brother."
"This is a family, thank you, isn't this what it should be."
Feeling happy or feeling a sudden sense of accomplishment from Boss Chen's thank you, Chen Yujie couldn't help smiling.
This smile was seen in Boss Chen's eyes, and the resentment was in Boss Chen's heart.
I am the eldest son!
To actually say thank you to you, the youngest, thinking that I am more promising than my boss Chen, and you think that building a house will be great for you!Hmph, let's take advantage of you first, then you will know later that big brother is big brother after all, just smile now.
Chen Yujie was so immersed in the brotherly love that he didn't notice the color in Chen Boss' eyes at all.
Taking out a tael of silver, Chen Yujie generously handed it to Boss Chen, and the two of them talked about their brotherhood again.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Chen felt very relieved, the brothers are friendly, his youngest son is also promising, and his eldest son also has the air of being the boss.
After getting the money, Boss Chen went to the town the next day. However, he was not heading to the school, but to another place.
When the first day of work started, everyone was beaming. According to the line drawn by the master, a group of people began to lay the foundation.
The materials are all dug directly from the river. The current things are all made by the ancestors, and they are more useful than modern reinforced concrete.
Everything went on in an orderly manner until the third day. That night, the Wang family had been busy all day, and Chen Yiyi was very tired after running errands with Wang Xiaodie.
Chen Yujie looked at Chen Yiyi, feeling a little embarrassed, but couldn't help calling Chen Yiyi back.
"Yiyi, Daddy has something to tell you."
"what's up?"
Chen Yiyi felt that Chen Yujie must have done something stupid.
"That's right, won't there still be workers tomorrow? Wages will be paid."
"Didn't you get paid? It's only been three days, and it's over?"
When he said this, Chen Yujie felt even more embarrassed.
"Well, last time, I lent a tael of silver to elder brother."
"Borrow! Ask your uncle to return it!"
"However, even though you know your uncle's current situation, and he is going to visit your elder brother, it is necessary to salute the teacher."
The more Chen Yiyi listened, the angrier she became. What's the matter, Chen Yujie is really not a fake fool.
"I haven't heard of it yet. The teacher in that school charges a tael of silver for gifts. Is this the book taught by the champion?"
"No, I was thinking, our family is short of money now, so it's okay to lend some money to your uncle. Oh, it's not your uncle who asked for a tael of silver, I lent it to him."
"Our family is not short of money? Chen Yujie, my father and my brother are helping our family, isn't it just to save electricity money? Yiyi didn't buy anything for herself, we didn't even have a new dress, didn't we just Saving money? You're squandering before the business even starts making money!"
Mrs. Wang is angry, so angry, what is this.
"I, don't I have to pay it back? How can I call it squandering? This is not an outsider."
The more Chen Yujie said, the expressions of Chen Yiyi and Wang became colder, until Chen Yujie didn't have the confidence to say anything.
"Okay! I will borrow it, and I will give my mother all the wages after that. My mother will send it. You can work on your furniture then."
Chen Yiyi didn't want to argue with Chen Yujie anymore, but the money in the future could no longer be handed over to Chen Yujie.
At first, he thought about making Chen Yujie look good, but now, forget it.
Knowing that I did something wrong, how can I decide to borrow money by myself, I should discuss it with my family.
Chen Yujie was also very wronged, obviously he was kind at the time, but as a result, Boss Chen almost ignored Chen Yujie when he got the money. In addition, Boss Chen was already in good health, and now he couldn't see Chen Yujie at home.
After such a turmoil, everything is still proceeding calmly and orderly.
until one night.
A figure flashed into the woodshed of Chen Yiyi's house.
