A few people went home, killed fish, washed shrimps, steamed rice, cut meat, and soon the meal was ready.

A large table full of food is placed on the eucalyptus board. There are many people, and the eucalyptus board is obviously much smaller. When the time comes, we will make a dining table, preferably a round table that can be folded. Anyway, in the team

Liu Fugui knows how to cook, and his craftsmanship is quite good.

Panlong eel, fried spicy loach, big fat meat stewed with vermicelli, steamed sea bass, cold cucumber, Liu Chen also cut the braised beef from the spiced peanuts he brought in 2022, perfect.

Zhang Yanjun and Zhang Xiaodong looked at the large plate of vegetables, mostly meat dishes, and their mouths couldn't stop flowing.

Of course there was wine, and during this period we talked about building a house in the past two days.

Liu Jiefang and everyone calculated it. Three large tile-roofed houses plus a pigsty would cost about 25,000 bricks. There would be more than 30 bags of cement, and the sand would be salvaged from the river. By then, the floors would all be made with cement.

The total cost is seven to eight hundred yuan, but Liu Chen wants to make the house taller and larger, so he will pay one thousand yuan.

Wang Mudan still felt that the bricks would be enough, but Liu Chen insisted on covering everything with cement, so he had no choice but to listen to Liu Chen.

Liu Jiefang is an accountant in the team, and he is a big and small official. As long as he talks about it, it goes without saying that the person who works hard will be the one who works hard. What’s more, he has already said that he will build a house for his family and have enough food to take care of it.

Lack of meat, I eat watermelon every day.

Nowadays, everyone is poor. If you can save something for your family, you can save something. Liu Chen said that there is meat. This meat is a good thing and can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Building a house is not a matter of a day or two. You can eat a lot of stew.

, the key is to have watermelon to eat. You can’t even buy it in supply and marketing cooperatives. It’s too sweet.

Last time, Liu Chen invited the whole team to eat watermelon. When everyone thought of watermelon, their mouths were filled with the sweetness of watermelon. It was so delicious.

When Zhang Yanjun and Zhang Xiaodong heard that Liu Chen's family was going to build a house, they were very active and came to help no matter what. Especially Zhang Xiaodong, who was as happy as building a house for his own family. In fact, he knew in his heart that this would

You can come to Liu Chen's house openly, see Liu Youdi often, and work with Liu Youdi.

In fact, it stands to reason that Zhang Xiaodong is already quite old. At this age, everyone gets married early, but he just doesn't want to get married. He went on several blind dates, but failed to find any of them. His mother wanted to beat him up with a wooden stick several times.

, this child is too picky and will become a bachelor sooner or later, but every time he smiles and retorts to his mother, "That's because my wife and I haven't found each other yet, and I will get married when we do."

He made his mother very angry every time, but he couldn't control it. There was nothing to say about the conditions at home, but this child was very stubborn.

After having enough water and food, we can start digging the foundation on time the day after tomorrow.

This incident caused quite a stir in the team. This Liu Chen was really creative. He had such a good relative in the city, and he was actually willing to give him money to build a house, and he built three large tile-roofed houses. It is enviable.

There are quite a few people.

Liu Damao here smelled the fragrance of Liu Chen's rice, and he stomped his feet in anger and cursed loudly: "Damn Liu Chen, I thought he would get out of here soon, but I didn't expect that he would actually build a house, and it was...

We built three large tile-roofed houses. The food here is meat, which is very fragrant."

Wang Xiuhua slapped Liu Damao on the back of the head, "With the tip of your nose, who can't smell the smell of meat? Damn it, you eat meat every day to make people like us starve to death."

"Mom, why don't I go to his house and snatch it away."

"Crack!"

Another slap hit Liu Damao on the back of the head, "Have you forgotten how you were beaten last time? You still don't have a long memory. Go ask your fourth uncle to go. Anyway, he always loves you the most, so he has to give you a certain amount.

.”

"Where are you going? Don't embarrass me. Remember to eat and not fight. If you don't eat, you won't die."

Liu Weiqiang really couldn't stand this mother and son. Originally, the brothers were very good together, but his wife insisted on causing some trouble, which made him a stranger inside and outside. Now that the brothers don't talk, they are worse than outsiders. Seeing the fourth brother

When building a house, it doesn't matter whether you help yourself or not.

"Shameful? When are you going to be ashamed? Look at you, you are such a bear. You deserve to die. Your fourth brother has already built a house. How about you? You still live in this leaky mud house. You have the ability."

He also built a big tile-roofed house for us. He has no skills at all, but he still has the nerve to live."

Wang Xiuhua was like a crazy tiger, she couldn't stop talking.

Unable to bear the noise, Liu Weiqiang put down his bowl and almost stopped eating, and went to bed. This girl can't beat or scold her, so it's better to go for the 36th strategy.

As long as you can have something to eat, it’s okay to be shameless, so what does it matter? Anyway, you’ll earn money if you eat it.

Liu Chen had been eating for an hour or two and rested for a while. The others were going to bathe, swim and catch fish in the river.

"Ah...ah..."Ama...Ama..."

I only heard the sound of a child crying, the sound was heartbreaking, and the voice was hoarse from the crying.

The kids in the team were pretty tough, and it didn't matter to the adults at home if they cried, as long as they didn't hurt their muscles or bones, they were fine. At that time, the kids didn't have toys or playgrounds, so they could climb trees to dig out bird's nests, and go down to the river to catch fish.

Fighting is a common thing. Every family has a lot of children, and they cry for a while. There is not so much emphasis on it.

"Ah...ah..."

The child cried louder, and Liu Chen was about to go to the toilet first, and then go to the river with them to catch fish.

This is not just one child crying, this is several children crying. What is happening?

Liu Chen went out to take a look and was shocked.

I saw that the faces of Liu Dameng, Gou Sheng, Goudan, Liu Xiaomeng and other children were swollen like pig heads, their eyes were so swollen that they could hardly open, and several of their lips were like sausage mouths.

Some of the children were shirtless, and their bodies were even more swollen.

"Did you get stung by a bee?"

"Uncle, we have all been stung by bees."

Liu Dameng cried while talking.

None of the naughty children dared to go home, fearing that their parents would slap them if they saw them, so they came to see Liu Chen one by one.

The older Liu Dameng knew that Liu Chen had saved the Erniu family's daughter-in-law, and that Liu Chen could save "dead people". Liu Chen must have something to do if they were stung by bees.

Liu Chen talked a lot, and did not go to the toilet, but directly led the children into the yard.

The younger children were still crying. They were stung by bees, and the pain was excruciating. Most people couldn't bear it.

Liu Chen looked at the stings on the children's faces and bodies. They were stings from bees, not wasps.

Fortunately, Liu Chen brought a lot of things when he came last time from 2022.

Liu Jiefang, Wang Mudan, Liu Youdi and other adults in the yard came together. Some used needles to pick up the bee stings on the children, some pulled them out directly with their hands, and some used tweezers to pick them up.

The children who were picked out were no longer in so much pain, and the older children who could bear it had stopped crying. The younger children were also humming, not crying as much as before.

"Hey, you guys are going day by day. You really don't want to let adults worry. Why are you poking a bee's nest when you have nothing to do?"

Liu Jiefang said distressedly while handling the children.

Liu Chen took out the soap again and washed the children one by one.

The bee venom is acidic, and the soapy water is alkaline. After washing it several times, Liu Chen took out the anti-inflammatory medicine and applied it one by one.

After some operations, the children finally felt better, at least not so painful or itchy.

"Okay, can any of you tell me what's going on?"

Liu Chen looked at their swollen faces and asked, holding back his laughter.

Liu Dameng told the story of the incident.
