Chapter 59 Look, help is here,,, ask for a monthly pass)
After a sleepless night, Liu Chen was so annoyed. This was the first time he had been here that it rained so heavily. With this downpour, the room almost turned into a water curtain hole. The ground was covered with water, which was originally land.
There was no cement or bricks, and the floor in the room was soft and soft after being soaked by water.
As soon as I stepped on the shoe, there was mud on the sole.
We can't plant corn in the ground for the time being. The ground is too rotten. We can plant it directly after it has been dried for two days without having to carry water.
There is no rain today, the sun is rising slowly from the east, and everyone in the team is starting to get busy. It rained so much last night that many houses were damaged by the wind and rain, and several houses leaked.
There was no work today, so everyone started cutting reeds to build the house. Liu Chen really didn’t want to repair it, so he just built it, but Wang Mudan and Liu Jiefang still felt that they should repair it first. At that time, the old house would not be demolished, but another three buildings would be built on the land next to it.
In the meantime, when Liu Chen gets married, if his wife is not able to talk to her, they can be separated.
Liu Chen thought that it would be okay if he didn't demolish it. When the time comes, he can make money again, demolish the mud house, and then change it into a two-story or three-story building. When the sisters come, it would be better if he doesn't go back.
A place to live. As for Liu Chen, who Wang Mudan thought, he didn't know.
After a simple breakfast, Liu Jiefang took Liu Chen to cut reeds, while Wang Mudan and Liu Youdi packed two bags of wheat rice dumplings and mud and grass dumplings for later repairing the roof.
Liu Jiefang just wore a pair of big pants. It rained all night yesterday, and the reed marshes were full of water. He was barefoot, and the big pants were easy to cut when he stepped in the water. Liu Chen also learned to wear big pants, but he didn't want to be naked.
As for his feet, he wore protective shoes. If they got wet, they would get wet. It was too uncomfortable to have bare feet. He was really not used to it.
When it was eight or nine o'clock in the morning, I saw a group of children running towards the reed marsh, chirping.
"Uncle, uncle, we are here."
A group of children were running on the muddy road with bare feet, and their feet were covered with mud.
Followed by several adults.
"Look, help is coming."
Liu Chen took a closer look, wasn't it? The eldest sister's family, the second sister's family, and the third sister's family were all here.
Oops, it’s hard to do secant, but this helps.
"I knew it rained all night last night and my house was leaking. It's sunny today and it must be repaired, so we came."
"Well done, let's get to work."
Liu Jiefang gave the sickle to his second brother-in-law Zhang Youcai.
My son-in-law is here, so I can have some rest.
The eldest brother-in-law Li Xianghong also took the sickle from Liu Chen's hand.
The third brother-in-law, the second sister, and the third sister began to bundle the cut reeds and take them back to dry later.
"There are still many people in your family, Accountant Liu, you are in for a treat."
Erniu's mother, who was also cutting reeds next to her, said enviously.
He has two daughters, but the daughter married a little far away, so she didn't come.
"Yes, when the children are older, they should also think about their happiness."
Liu Jiefang smoked his pipe and pot and replied with a slight smile.
Everyone worked enthusiastically and soon cut a lot of reeds.
"Uncle, uncle, I miss you so much."
Wu Yiyi, the youngest daughter of the third sister's family, stretched out her hand for Liu Chen to hold her.
"Uncle, I miss you too, I miss you too."
Zhang Xiaoli from the second sister's house also extended her hand to hold her.
"Okay, I'll hug you."
Liu Chen held one in each hand, and the two little girls hugged them together.
"Uncle, we miss you too."
Several other nephews and nieces came over and pulled Liu Chen's clothes, and Liu Chen was surrounded in the middle.
In his previous life, he was an only child. How could he be so needed? Now he feels so happy.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and get you something delicious later."
"Okay, uncle, I want to eat some candy."
"I want to eat canned food."
"I want to eat meat."
Liu Chen looked at the group of children, thinking of me or wanting to eat.
"Okay, all of you, please obey me and I will bring you food later."
"Oh oh oh...there's something exciting."
"So happy."
The children were shouting and jumping.
Their feet were covered in mud. Even when we arrived, several children fell down and were covered in mud.
Children in rural areas are like this. They are born and raised. It is normal to have mud. Adults don't care and don't care. Anyway, if your summer clothes are dirty, just wash them.
Everyone was in a hurry, and soon the reeds were transported home and dried at the door.
Here Wang Mudan and Liu Youdi, as well as the second sister Liu Pandi and the third sister Liu Niandi, put the wheat baskets on the ground and poured some soil. Several brothers-in-law were making grass and mud dumplings with their bare feet.
Liu Chen took out some candies, cans, and peach cakes for everyone to eat.
The eldest sister also wanted to help, but she was pregnant after all, so she didn't let her do it.
Anyway, there were so many people that he couldn't seem to get involved. The main reason was that he really didn't know how to do it and didn't want to do it. His current task was to take these nephews and nieces to eat and play well. He found a solution for his laziness. The perfect excuse.
"Hehe, there are benefits to being thick-skinned." Liu Chen said to himself.
Liu Chen moved a stool, sat next to his eldest sister Liu Zhaodi, and asked her how she was doing recently.
Liu Zhaodi looked at Liu Chen, her eyes full of gratitude. Since Liu Chen taught her husband Li Xianghong a lesson last time, Li Xianghong has treated her a lot better, and her mother-in-law no longer dares to be so presumptuous. Nor does she dare to force herself to eat those messy foods. The most important thing is that Li Xianghong knows how to work and is not as lazy as before.
Liu Zhaodi and Liu Chen talked about their current situation and the changes in their husbands. Liu Chen was also very happy. This eldest brother-in-law is not a heinous person. As long as he treats his eldest sister well, it will be okay if he lives in poverty. With him here, he is afraid that several sisters will live in trouble in the future. If you don’t live a good life, won’t you be able to make money?
"Come on, everyone, take a rest, wash your hands, and come and eat watermelon."
Liu Chen held a large watermelon and placed it on the eucalyptus board, then took a kitchen knife and cut it into pieces.
Seeing the big watermelon, the child yelled, "I have never seen such a big and round thing, let alone eaten it."
The children surrounded the eucalyptus board with water, eagerly looking at the watermelon on the eucalyptus board.
"Look, your little hands are dirty. Wash them and eat them."
When they heard that they had to wash their hands before eating, the children threw it away in a flash, ran to the kitchen, scooped water from gourds and ladles, poured it into the basin, and squeezed to wash their hands.
I'm afraid if you can't wash your hands, there will be no watermelon to eat.
"Uncle, I have washed it."
"I've washed it too."
The older children ran fast and washed even faster. They stood on the edge of the eucalyptus board and stared at the watermelon, with their mouths watering.
"Take it quickly and eat it. Nibble the red flesh on the top. Don't eat the bottom part."
After hearing that it was edible, the children picked up the watermelon on the eucalyptus board and gnawed it.
"It's so good. It's so sweet. It's sweeter than candy."
The sound of smashing and sucking is endless.
"Don't grab it, I haven't washed it yet."
Wu Yiyi, the youngest, shouted with a cry.
"It's okay, uncle left a big piece for you, don't worry."
Hearing that his uncle had left a big one for him, Wu Yiyi felt relieved and ran over with bare feet.
Liu Chen put the watermelon into Wu Yiyi's hand, held the watermelon in his thin little hands and started to chew it.
Seeing that a big watermelon was almost eaten, Liu Chen picked up another one, washed it and cut it into pieces.
Several adults also came quickly to get the watermelon and gnawed it.
Several brothers-in-law had heard of watermelon and saw others eating it, but they had never eaten it themselves. Everyone took a piece in their hands and started to chew on it.
"This thing is so sweet, as sweet as sugar, no, sweeter than sugar."
"Yes, this is really delicious."
They gnawed quickly. After finishing one piece, they put it down and picked up the second piece to gnaw. Some even gnawed the white flesh near the skin, and almost ate the green skin.
Seeing that another one was wiped out, Liu Chen hugged another one and cut it. Anyway, this watermelon was reserved for a few sisters' families. Just forget it after eating it. You can eat it at home just like you eat here.
Seeing that everyone likes to eat watermelon so much, he decided to bring some more from 2022. Anyway, now is the peak season of watermelon, and watermelon is cheap.
After eating the watermelon, Liu Chen gave the cigarettes to his brothers-in-law to smoke, and then took a break.
Liu Zhaodi insisted on cooking. She was really not used to being idle. In this era, any pregnant woman would not work, let alone cooking, even doing farm work until she was born. What's more, she was born in the fields.
of.
Liu Chen disagreed, so he should take more care of him. After all, there was too much fumes in the kitchen. He could call the second sister, the third sister, or the fourth sister for help later.
The children ate so happily, their bellies were swollen and round.
After several children finished eating the watermelon, they pushed aside the candy that Liu Chen had just given. When the sisters saw it, they immediately grabbed it and put it in their pockets.
It’s better not to eat the candies, save them for the New Year.
