Chapter 11 Yu Li’s joy

 Before dawn, the eighth uncle from the village drove his son and nephew to the courtyard in a carriage pulling wood.

Seeing that they were all wet with dew, Jiang Che cooked a pot of noodle soup to warm them up.

Uncle Eighth's family is the poorest in the entire Shahe Village. Uncle Eighth's father died when he was very young. My mother is also very hardworking, a widow with three children. Later, she became ill due to overwork and was bedridden at an early age.

Take medicine.

His younger brother passed away due to illness ten years ago, and his sister’s husband’s family was also very poor and could not help her mother’s family in life. Now many of her sons and nephews have grown up and can help the family earn more work points. In his own words, if not

With the help of us young and old Jiang family members, their family has long since starved to death.

The eighth uncle and his three uncles did not rest after eating the noodles. Under the guidance of Jiang Che, they unloaded the wood in front of Yan Jiecheng's house.

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng also hurriedly got up and repeatedly expressed his gratitude for coming so early. He went outside to buy soy milk and charcoal rings from the breakfast shop.

When everyone in the compound started to go to work, the three of them began to do their own things. They sawed wood when they needed to, and measured when they needed to measure. Jiang Che also helped with what he could do.<

/p>

Uncle Eight also knew that he had been injured some time ago and had been in a coma for a while, so he always told Jiang Che to go back to the house and rest.

Jiang Che always said that his uncles and brothers were working while he hid in the house and slept. How ridiculous! If the news reached Shahe Village, Jiang Che would not even enter the village again.

Hearing this, Uncle Eighth smiled happily and said: "Okay! Okay! We, the Jiang family, are one family wherever we go."

When Jiang Che was busy at 12 o'clock, he didn't see anyone from the Yan family coming to deliver food. He was so angry that he went back and cooked a few dishes, and then he and the others had lunch.

When Yan Jiecheng got off work in the evening, Jiang Che pressed him down and beat him up without saying a word.

"You piece of shit, I, Lao Jiang, have never been sorry to you."

“You don’t know how much money I’ve saved you by buying furniture for you?!”

"Okay! Money is saved and people don't care anymore?!"

"I've been so busy that no one boiled water or brought food at noon!" Jiang Che was beating and scolding, and his eighth uncle and his two cousins ​​couldn't stop him. Jiang Che was already over 1.8 meters tall, and he was so tall recently.

After eating a lot of fish and meat for a while, Uncle Ba and the others were not as strong as the ones who ate rice bran every day. Fortunately, He Yuzhu came back early, and they worked together to pull Jiang Che away.

Yan Jiecheng didn't fight back even after being beaten. He knew it was his parents' fault and the beating was not in vain.

"Shuanzi, my brother was wrong about what happened today."

"I've never forgotten how good you were to my brother. I apologize to you."

"Uncle Eighth and these two brothers, I didn't do a good job today. Please forgive me if I make any mistakes."

"I'll ask my wife to come over tomorrow and make sure nothing goes wrong again." Yan Jiecheng apologized to the four men one by one and said soft words, and Jiang Che's anger calmed down a little.

"Shuanzi, you still say that I am impulsive. My brain is full of muscles and I know how to take action."

"You can't let Jie Cheng say something and then take action again, and watch Jie Cheng's face be covered with blood."

"Hey, I didn't expect that you kid, your hands are darker than mine." He Yuzhu said a few serious words and then started to talk nonsense.

"Today, I have a good fortune. The good work introduced by Shuanzi has made me rich, and a lot of good food has been given to me by the host."

"Let's go to Shuanzi's house to eat and drink together." He Yuzhu raised his iconic net bag again.

The elders and younger ones sat down one by one, and Jiang Che also pretended to bring out a stack of pork heads and a stack of cut sausages from the kitchen.

"Brother Xie Cheng, this happens only once."

"Brother, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want." Jiang Che raised his head and the 3-yen wine cup was empty.

"Shuanzi, eighth uncle and two brothers."

"I gave the wrong order to the wrong person today. Tomorrow I will ask my wife to come over and boil water for cooking. I guarantee that I won't let you guys go hungry like today."

"I will punish myself with three cups." After three cups, Yan Jie's bruised face turned red again.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors. Today's unhappiness has also changed. Now Yan Jiecheng and Jiang Che's two cousins ​​are bragging.

"Shuanzi, thank you for introducing me to a good job."

"There aren't many of these, just take it." He Yuzhu secretly handed Jiang Che two big unity cards under the wine table.

"Brother Zhuzi, save your money for yourself."

"This is your hard-earned money. If I introduce others to do it, I will do it."

"What's the relationship between us brothers? Why are you still doing this to me?"

"Hurry up and get ready, save more dowry for Sister Yuyu, and save more money to find a sister-in-law for me." Jiang Che couldn't take the money, so he pushed it back to He Yuzhu.

"Do you know how much I earned today?!"

"In addition to the 5 yuan per table you agreed upon, the host said the food was cooked well, and the guests were happy and gave another 20 yuan, for a total of 70 yuan." He Yuzhu said mysteriously.

"Aren't you just pretending it yourself?" Jiang Che asked after taking a bite of food.

"How could that be possible? I gave my apprentices Ma Hua and Liu Lan 5 yuan each. Their conditions were more difficult and I gave them more."

"Hurry up, the rule passed down from our ancestors is that the middle-aged man cannot have less money." He Yuzhu handed the money to Jiang Che again.

"You also said that it was money for the middle-aged man. What does our brother have to do with each other?"

"Don't mention it to me again, I'm annoying you." Jiang Che pulled his hand away without looking at it.

"Okay, brother will remember this now, let's deal with it later." He Yuzhu didn't dwell on it anymore.

From that day on, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng bought vegetables and cooked them in Jiang Che’s kitchen. The water in the thermos bottle was always full.

Yu Li is also happy to come to the courtyard every day. Seeing that the furniture in her new home looks the same every day, her heart is sweeter than eating honey. Touching the varnished furniture, Yu Li can't wait to hug it and sleep at night.

Hurrying slowly, they finally finished it two days before Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's wedding. Yan Jiecheng borrowed money from relatives and friends around him and was still close to two hundred yuan short. He didn't even step into the third uncle's house to ask for help. It was Jiang Che.

To make up for it.

The eighth uncle and the others were about to return to the village, so Jiang Che asked the eighth uncle to bring more than a hundred kilograms of grains to the uncle, fourth uncle and the others.

Seeing that her new home was filled with furniture, Yu Li happily wiped it over and over again.

There is a table under the window on the south wall. There is a vase on the left and right sides according to Jiang Che's arrangement, filled with colorful artificial flowers. There is a mechanical clock in the middle, and an upside-down glass table on the side.

Enamel tray for cups.

Below the table is the Eight Immortals table and several benches.

On the west wall of the living room are several black-and-white photos of the two of them, and the kitchen and coat racks are also placed in an orderly manner.

What Yu Li likes the most is the large wardrobe and dressing table in the bedroom.

Yu Li could stand in front of the full-length mirror all day long without feeling tired. According to Jiang Che's suggestion, the writing desk was transformed into a dressing table by adding a mirror and some small jewelry boxes. Uncle Eight even provided it thoughtfully.

I got a small stool.

Yu Li walked around the house looking at what she liked. She never thought that one day she would have so many pieces of furniture. All this was something she had never dared to imagine before.

After the new house was tidied up, the smile on Yu Li’s face never disappeared.

"Lily, what makes you so happy lately?" Seeing that Yu Li has been acting uncharacteristically recently, the little sisters were very confused.

"Isn't the furniture all ready?" Yu Li answered lightly, but the smile on her face betrayed her.

"Didn't you say that your father-in-law is an old man and can't bear to do anything for you?" The more they listened, the more confused they became. Previously, Yu Li had been frowning all day long after hearing that her father-in-law was a tough guy. She went to Yan's house twice and refused to live or die.

In the past, recently, I went to the courtyard house uncharacteristically, and the smiles on my face became more and more.

"No matter where he did it, it was all done by my master, Jie Cheng." When mentioning the third uncle, Yu Li also had a look of disdain.

After Yu Li explained this, several little sisters were also curious about how much furniture was purchased for the new house to change Yu Li's attitude so much.

Unable to resist the little sisters' pleas, Yu Li took everyone to the courtyard to visit her wedding room.

"Wow! The decoration is so grand."

"Xiaoyu, come and take a look. There is a wardrobe and a dressing table in here."

Originally, I heard that Yu Li said it was an inverted house, so the girls didn't pay much attention to it. As soon as they entered the house, the little sisters were attracted by the layout and furniture of the new house. They touched the strips and looked at the wardrobe, and their eyes were filled with envy.

.

"Lily, I'm so jealous of you. Your family is so kind to you. No wonder you are in such a good mood recently."

"That's right, Lily. How much does it cost to buy this furniture for your family? As long as it's not too expensive, I'll ask him to buy it for me."

"Lily..."

"Let me tell you, it only cost more than 400 yuan to make these furniture and clean up the house."
