"Brother-in-law? Why are you here? When did you come back from the army?"

Zhao Guoqing shouted in surprise. He really didn't expect that his uncle Liu Zhendian was back?

When the family was separated last time, it was my brother-in-law who stepped forward and asked him to dig traps to catch wild boars. However, my brother-in-law was in the army and could only come back when he was on vacation.

"I heard you were building a house today, so I took leave early. I won't come back to help you..."

Liu Zhendian was a little haggard. He came back overnight.

Originally, he planned to come back from vacation to take care of business, but after receiving the telegram sent to him from home, he simply came back early.

When Liu Zhendian went to that station, he saw Zhao Shun and Zhang Jun coming to greet him.

Today, Zhao Guoqing's family is building a house. In addition to grandma, his uncle's family of four, and his uncle, everyone from the Chaoyang Brigade, including Zhang Jun and his wife, and Zhao Shun, also came here.

Eldest sister Zhao Chunlan and brother-in-law Zhou Yong also came with Gou Sheng.

Liu Yuqing and Xia Ruolan also came over.

In addition, Zhao Quan and Chen Hongmei also came, and the two ponds were suddenly filled with people.

Everyone looked around the twin ponds with great interest. They all praised the feng shui here. There was water in front of the gate and the back was against the mountain. The surrounding area was spacious. From this point of view, it was a good place.

Zhao Guoqing looked at everyone with a smile. He was in a very good mood at this time. Regardless of whether others were complimenting him or speaking sincerely, he really liked this place.

The scenery is beautiful, leeward and quiet, making it comfortable to live here.

Later, you can plant red plums, pomegranates or peach blossoms beside the pond. Then you will have flowers to see and fruits to eat, not to mention how beautiful it will be.

"This place is really good. The air is sweet. The trees on the mountain are lush and the water is clear. Whoever chose this foundation really has a good sense..."

Liu Zhendian was also full of praise for this position, and Liu Zhenfang on the side was smiling from ear to ear.

Pointing at Zhao Guoqing, he said he chose this place.

There are eight foundations in total, and four foundations were given to Zhao Youqing, so that the two brothers can have some kind of care together in the future.

When Liu Zhendian said this, he couldn't help but nodded, and glanced at his brother-in-law Zhao Gui, who was squatting by the pond smoking. He didn't bother to talk to him, and just patted Zhao Guoqing on the shoulder.

"Well done, this is what you call a brother. Your mother has been suffering for half her life. From now on, this family will depend on you. Your family's life will get better and better. This person is almost old and it's time to set off firecrackers...

"

When Liu Zhendian said this, Zhao Guoqing quickly asked his younger brother Youqing to set off firecrackers.

When the firecrackers go off, it means that the Zhao family is going to build a new house here. Villagers, adults and children, who hear the sound of firecrackers will come over to join in the fun and say congratulations.

It also represents a kind of ceremony. After the firecrackers go off, the earth can be dug to build the house.

As the crackling firecrackers sounded, Zhao Guoqing took a bag of toffee and biscuits and sprinkled them on the foundation. After this, a group of impatient children who had been waiting for it swarmed up and scrambled to pick up the sprinkles.

candies and cookies.

The child who quickly grabbed the candy shouted happily at the top of his lungs.

"It's the white rabbit, and there are biscuits, crisp..."

“There are also fruit candies!”

…

The conditions in rural areas are not particularly good. Even if you want to build a house to create a happy and lively atmosphere, more discerning people will only prepare half a catty of candies to sprinkle on it.

Like yesterday at Zhou Xiaoliu's house, although three packs of cigarettes were scattered, they only prepared half a pound of hard candies wrapped in colorful plastic paper.

Those hard candies are too cheap to be chewed and can only be melted slowly in your mouth. If you bite hard with your teeth, your teeth will easily break.

It’s nothing like Zhao Guoqing’s house. Not only are they prepared good cigarettes for the men, but they also sprinkle the candies without hesitation. A pound of White Rabbit candies are sprinkled on them. There are also various biscuits, fruit candies, and several delicious sesame cakes.

Jin, all of a sudden the children in Chaoyang Brigade became jealous.

The child who was too slow to grab the candy burst into tears and kept yelling that he wanted to eat fruit candies.

This made the men who were standing aside smoking and bragging very upset. Fortunately, Liu Zhenfang was prepared. Those who were too small to grab the candies were each given a few candies and one or two biscuits. Those who got the candies were all

I couldn't bear to swallow the candy in one mouthful.

Instead, I licked it one bite at a time, for fear that if I swallowed it in one bite, the delicious fruit candy would be gone!

After all, it was the first time for many children to eat so many delicious foods.

When Zhao Guoqing's house was setting off firecrackers, Zhou Xiaoliu also came to join in the fun. He frowned when he saw four or five cigarette boxes thrown away on the ground. He didn't expect so many people to come to Zhao Guoqing's house today?

Seeing a large group of children sharing candies and biscuits, Zhou Xiaoliu felt a little sour.

There are so many people here, especially children. Almost all the children from the village are here. Even the children who have not yet grown teeth and are carried on the backs of their brothers and sisters have a candy in their mouths and their saliva is flowing.

are everywhere.

"Huh, I don't know how to live my life. With so many candies, half of the bricks on the gable are gone. Let's see how Zhao Guoqing will cry when he has no money to build tiles..."

Zhou Xiaoliu cursed secretly in his heart.

I saw a few villagers smoking and talking in silence.

"This Shuangtang is really a good place. It's a pity that I don't have money, otherwise I would have moved here. It has mountains, water and a high location..."

"It doesn't work even if you have money. Zhao Guoqing is so proud and bold that he asked for eight foundations at once. Didn't you see that the six brothers of the Zhou family went to make trouble and didn't even get the foundations here?"

"No, this is the upwind vent, but it is much stronger than the downdraft vent. If someone builds a toilet in the upwind vent, you can smell the smell of feces and urine when eating in the downdraft vent..."

…

When Zhou Xiaoliu heard this, he was dumbfounded. Yes, he had just bought four foundation rooms out of anger, and he was indeed at a disadvantage.

If Zhao Guoqing built a toilet above and he lived downwind, wouldn't it be terrible?

Zhou Xiaoliu looked at the location of the two houses. At this time, he was not sure whether the dry toilet built in this house would make it smell bad down there.

For a moment, Xiao Liu was running around anxiously. He saw Zhao Guoqing and a group of people digging the foundation. Many people were working around him. He couldn't move closer. He glanced around and saw Zhao Gui.

He immediately had an idea.

Zhao Gui is good at wine, and he can drink two glasses of it. He will use his brain later on to prevent Zhao Guoqing's toilet from being built at the highest point upstream.

"Uncle, how long will your wedding leave be this time? When is the date set?"

After Zhao Guoqing learned that Li Ping escaped the last flash flood, her relationship with her uncle was made clear. This time her uncle's return should be for a happy event.

"This matter, there are many people at this meeting, I will tell you later, my marriage is still a bit troublesome..."
