Vol 2 Chapter 109: New Yard (1)

After two o'clock in the morning, I woke up safely and on time. With a "wow", Zhang Guoqing looked at the left with a sharp look and found no son, so scared and sweat came out. Turning around, she saw Zhou Jiao Mi feeding her son with staring eyes. The two couples looked at each other stupidly. After a while, Zhou Jiao woke up and let him go to sleep. After safe eating, she will go to sleep after changing the diaper.
Zhang Guoqing opened her eyes, watching her skilfully after her son was full, in order to prevent milk from spilling, she picked him up and gently patted his little back, which made her feel relieved.
When the rooster crowed, Zhang Guoqing woke up, and it was just past four o'clock at the sight of his watch. Today, he didn't plan to get up so quickly, lying on the bed quietly, closing his eyes and meditation, staring at him for a while, and only then did he gently get up and put on his clothes when he woke up at 5:30. Looking at the two mothers and sons they were holding, they grinned openly before leaving the house cautiously.
After washing, he changed into patched clothes. Zhang Guoqing took the changed clothes, pants, and son's diapers to the well, washed them, and hung them on the bamboo poles in the yard for drying clothes.
He went to the backyard and watched them weeding and fertilizing. He greeted them. Far away from the fertilization area, he also picked up the shovel to loosen the soil, broke the clumped mud, and the old grass roots also rose. , Throw it aside. The four father and son finished their work in the yard. Back to the hall, the three brothers listened to Zhang's general arrangement today.
After eating breakfast, Zhang Guoqing went back to the room to see that Zhou Jiao had already got up and had breakfast, sitting in the living room, humming a nursery rhyme with her son.
"Jiaojiao, I'm going to help in the new house next door in the morning. You have something to ask Xizi at home and they call me. After lunch, I have to return the car to the provincial capital. By the way, I will pass by the county principal and ask about the college entrance examination. You see See if you have anything to bring, write it down on the note and give it to me when you come back at noon.
Zhang Guoqing said as he looked at the briquettes in the stove.
He picked up the tongs, went to the outside and clamped a briquettes, returned to change the burned briquettes under the stove, and stabbed at the hole. Put white fungus on the briquettes stove.
"I remember there are two boiled eggs in the kettle. I will eat them later. There is also the white fungus soup. If you have a life, don't do it yourself, let them call me." Zhang Guoqing finished cleaning up, and gave another order without worry.
When she responded, she kissed the mother and son and went out reluctantly.
In just a few days, the two yards have taken shape. Many people gathered around to work. Between the two yards, a large number of materials such as blue stones, soil embryos, and straw were piled up. Early in the morning, some people came back from the foot of the mountain with stones one after another. In the main rooms and east-west wing rooms of the two yards, the apprentices of master bricklayers can be seen busy with their work while directing the helpers. Looking at it from a distance, like a game, I didn't even take a breath and rushed to work.
Looking at the two yards, Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is this playing at the same time in different shifts?
Zhang Guoqing smiled and greeted everyone, and quickly came to Zhang Daddy. Listening to the words of Master Bricklayer and Daddy Zhang, there was a slight eyebrow.
This morning he will make soil embryos with Da Mu. Looking at Father Zhang, they were busy mixing the clay, the straw, hemp, mud and sand together with water, and finally they had to mix them into thin mud, so that the better.
He didn't understand, just do what he asked him to do, and he felt that the more he became more and more sticky, the more sticky and the more tired he was, and he had to pour water repeatedly. Four or five people were stirring vigorously with shovel. After that, I didn't even want to say anything, and worked with suffocation. This work must be done continuously, with the master bricklayer.
Zhang Guoqing looked at the small courtyard not far away. I suddenly understood why the people in the village could not build a house because of the strong labor. Three generations of the family fell asleep on a kang. It is estimated to be too tired with Da Mu. Even if there are blue stones, the soil embryos still need to work hard, and they must be prepared in advance.
My own brother and Da Ni are all doing the work of my own brothers. In the past few days, his eldest and second brothers took a few cousins ​​to round up these words. It is estimated that the brothers can't lift their arms, this will force them.
He planned to talk to his father secretly after lunch. Find a few people who are in difficulties at home and do not delay them from going to work, so come to help early in the morning. Just ready to wait for the master to come. Or ask the master if anyone knows who specializes in this, and let him introduce more. Don't talk about money with your second brother, he secretly gives it. Otherwise, the gains outweigh the losses.
Seeing that his father and his uncle were making soil embryos, they were also doing the same thing, and they were all suffocating hard. Repeated mechanical work. His thoughts ran away, pondering many things in silence. For example, how long will the house be built? If it were not for the roots of his hometown, he really had no plans to build a house. But this house is different, his father gave him. In the future, I will come back every new year and festivals and worship the ancestors. This is their root, his peace, and the root of future children and grandchildren.
Calculating the money in hand, spending ginseng, fur, and seven or eighty-eights, those 2,800 yuan is only less than 2,000 yuan. He did not intend to sell the wild animals that he hunted years ago. It’s too late to buy now, who will sell? That is no income.
In the end, he decided to buy a small yard in the county seat, as long as it is safe and clean. By the way, I went to Zhao Dashan to solve the work problem, just to inquire about the house near him. As for Zuo Linna, when his father-in-law comes back, he will find a chance to mention the second brother.
Zhang Guoqing just worked so hard mechanically, his brains widened, and finally he didn't know where his thoughts went. When others saw it, they all thought this Xiaowu was a good guy. Look, work hard. One person is worth three people. I heard that the generals of his Yue family are here. I thought it would be different than usual.
Look, it's the same as before. When you see people, your uncle and brother call out. Very affectionate, without any negligence. Those who speak politely, do not work lazily.
Even the master bricklayer, who has never boasted much, secretly envy Zhang Dayou. I patted Dayou Zhang: "My dear, my son is a good blessing. Good luck. Look at your three sons. Then take a look at your fifth child, what is this kid doing, everything is quacking. People are going taller, I don’t change my original intention. I used to hear people talk about your fifth child, but I thought it was exaggerating. He is a good boy."
Zhang Dayou laughed loudly, his mouth was raised high, and no one could see his pride. He said modestly: "That's how it is. Growing up in the countryside, that is, with a lot of strength, it's not like doing anything."
Within a few hundred miles, the old Zhang’s grandfather Zhang Guoqing started as his home and is now the fifth generation of descendants. People from ten miles and eight villages do not exaggerate their family style.
After the three brothers of Zhang Dayou separated, they blocked everything together. There are more than ten brothers and sisters of Zhang Guoqing's generation, all of them are not lazy and filial~EbookFREE.me~ mother-in-law, wife, and wife all get along well.
His grandfather laid down rules while alive, except for the eldest son following his parents, the other children would be separated within one year of marriage. Not to mention the harmonious relationship between their wife and wife, but the mother-in-law is sensible and generous.
In this division alone, people who have daughters like to be married to them. Regrettably, their parents in the three rooms mainly depend on their children's wishes regarding the choice of their daughter-in-law. It is said that they live on their own after getting married, unless the other party is really troublesome and has a bad reputation.
Since ancient times, marriage and cigarettes have been important matters, and parents are the masters. But the old Zhang family is better, let the children decide. Even more frustrating, the children of Zhang's family are more top-notch, with good character, and never talk to girls casually. Especially after Zhang Guoqiang of Zhang's second family married Lin Juhua, who was in the wrong family, he made the poor family with daughters stare at the Zhang family. Unfortunately, even the youngest Zhang Guoqing married a wife. It will be years before grandchildren grow up. This makes countless people who have daughters hate.
The Zhang family was vigorous and built two large yards at once. I heard that it was the same large yard as the old one. There are many people in the village secretly wondering about Zhang's family. This is not a three or five room of soil embryos, look at the piled large bluestone and soil embryos. The landlord’s house was not so lavish before. This is not a thatched house, but a grand courtyard. I heard that the old man of the Zhang family would go to the provincial capital when he was still alive. Why do several families at the foot of Beishan have good daughters in their wives? The yard alone knows that the family is doing well.
Some family members in the village saw that their sons should marry a wife. They also built a yard at the foot of the North Mountain. Some younger generations who hadn't seen the three brothers built the yard at the beginning, they secretly observed the old Zhang's yard.
Suddenly, more and more people came and went in the new yard every day, and everyone came to help when they were not working.
