She still has to go home and continue repairing the house!
No matter what, as long as the roof cover is closed, everyone can always deal with it.
Due to the lack of firewood, Jiang Hexi decided to buy some dry firewood directly, so she went to find her second aunt.
The second aunt's family sells firewood and charcoal fires, and the prices are reasonable. Firewood costs six cents, ordinary charcoal fires cost sixteen cents, and good charcoal fires cost twenty-six cents.
Jiang Hexi asked for some separately and asked her second aunt's mother's brother to send them to her.
The second aunt's natal family is in the mountains and is safe from the intrusion of the Liao people, so the whole family is doing well.
After knowing that my daughter's place was hit by a disaster caused by the Liao people, I came over early this morning to pick up some things and help her.
Now that I heard that Jiang Hexi wanted to buy firewood, I was very happy and immediately went home to pick up food for Jiang Hexi.
After learning that his family still had good firewood, Jiang Hexi immediately bought a few beams and asked his family to deliver them together.
After the Liao people wreaked havoc, under normal circumstances, the village could be managed for a few more months. During these months, everyone always had to cheer up and make a living.
The second aunt's mother's family has many brothers, so she made several trips in the afternoon to deliver firewood and other items to Jiang Hexi. Jiang Hexi also asked them to find carpenters from the village to come over and help with the work.
It's also a shame that I have money. If I didn't have money, I don't know how long it will take to repair this house.
Jiang Hexi's family was rich, and money quickly solved most of their worries. The burned-out beams of the house were repaired in the evening.
As long as the house is covered with tiles the next day, life can continue.
Everyone in the village was busy building houses. Even though someone in the Chen family died, no one came to help. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family couldn't help crying loudly.
Fortunately, the Sun family and his son were here. They had the money they had earned from working in the city, as well as the property earned by Mrs. Sun. They did not bother to repair their own house, but first helped the Chen family buy wood to build the coffin.
After the coffin was finished, Mrs. Chen cried and complained that she had no money to hire a Taoist priest, so the Sun family father and son spent more money to hire a Taoist priest to do the work for Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
A lot of money was spent here both inside and outside.
They built a shed randomly and finally buried Chen Dalang the next day.
At this time, other families had already repaired their houses, but theirs was the only one whose house was still in ashes.
Seeing that other families in the village had moved into their houses, Mrs. Chen, Old Man Sun and others in the village were all anxious.
Mrs. Chen went directly to Li Zheng's house and said in tears, "Li Zheng, my family is really in trouble. You have to help us. We are orphans and widows. We don't even have anyone to repair our house. Ugh...
"
Seeing Mrs. Chen crying so sadly, Li Zheng couldn't ignore it and could only say, "Sister-in-law of the Chen family, what difficulties do you have? Tell me! I think we can help, and we will do our best to help."
Mrs. Chen whispered, "All our belongings have been burned, we have no food or water, and there are only two women and children left in the house. We have no place to live, oh oh oh..."
Li Zheng said in a deep voice, "Every family and property in the village has been burned down..."
"But... there are men in their family!"
Li Zheng had nothing to say, sighed and said, "Then tomorrow, I will ask the strong men in my family to help your family build a house?"
"Uh-huh, but I don't have any materials at home!"
Li Zheng was really angry now and said, "If your family has no materials, can't you think of a solution by yourself? Whose life is better these days? In a word, if your family needs help to build a house, I will give you two strong men."
Help, if you don’t need it, forget it.”
After a pause, he continued, "In our land, how many poor people sell their sons and daughters every year? You and your wife at least have a few acres of land. If you work hard, after a few years, your eldest grandson will only be fifteen."
When the time comes, the door will be able to be supported, and your family’s life will be better.”
After hearing these words, Mrs. Chen did not dare to offend Li Zheng, so she could only go to Sun's house next door to cry again.
Old man Sun and his son were originally planning to build a house for their family. When he saw his "sweetheart" crying so miserably, he had no choice but to say something. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Sister Chen, don't worry, why don't you just build a house? Just wait.
Just wait, I'll come up with something for you."
Old man Sun finally took out his last remaining savings and took his son to help Mrs. Chen build a house for her family.
Mrs. Chen's house was more completely destroyed and more materials needed to be purchased. Although Old Man Sun was in pain, he still took out the money and bought wood and tiles to be shipped to build a house for Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen shouted "Brother Sun, Big Brother Sun" for a while, which made old man Sun feel weak. He didn't care about anything else. He took his son and worked harder and harder to build a house for Mrs. Chen's family.
After Mrs. Sun left, Sun Dahuang lost control and became more and more attracted to Mrs. Chen's daughter-in-law, Tao Hua. From time to time, he would get in front of Tao Hua to please her.
At such a critical time as building a house, there is nothing to say. You have to step up and help with the work.
In the village, I saw Mrs. Chen's poor family and came to help build a house.
However, Granny Chen and her family are really top-notch. For the people who helped out in front of them, they couldn't even cook a bowl of hot water, let alone treat them to a meal.
Those who came to work had to eat a lot of cold wind and go home every day.
After seeing the behavior of Mrs. Chen and others, my family members made up their minds that they would definitely not help people like Mrs. Chen next time.
When Jiang Changsheng passed away, how dignified was the funeral? He was very generous to the villagers in terms of food. Not only did they feed him, he also gave them meat to eat.
Although everyone is having difficulties nowadays, after all, they just sold their livestock a year ago. Who doesn’t have some money in their hands? Not only do you have enough to eat, but you should at least act like you are grateful?
But look at the Chen family's style? The villagers couldn't help but shake their heads privately.
At Jiang Hexi's house, Jiang Hexi also sent Du Da to help build a house. Of course, Du Da came back hungry every day.
Du Da went to help for two days and then didn't go.
On the third day, after Mrs. Chen finished building the house, she slammed the door shut and ignored the villagers.
Looking at the entire village, only Old Man Sun and his son had no house to live in.
Old Man Sun's pockets were empty of money at this time, and he had no money to build a house at all.
Old man Sun gritted his teeth and went to borrow money.
He felt that Jiang Hexi's family had suddenly become rich and had only a few children, so it was definitely the best place to make money.
Old Man Sun walked towards Jiang Hexi's home.
When the door of Jiang Hexi's house was knocked open, Jiang Hexi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that it was Old Man Sun and his son who came.
When Mr. Du brought the people in, Jiang Hexi said to Old Man Sun, "Uncle Sun, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Old man Sun didn't feel embarrassed and said directly to Jiang Hexi, "He Xi, your father and I were brothers who were the most powerful brothers back then. He Xi, look, your uncle Sun is in trouble now. For your father's sake,
For your sake, please lend me some money to your uncle Sun! I'm sorry for your uncle, now we don't even have a place to stay, so Dahuang and I have to live in a ruined temple at night."
Jiang Hexi was surprised when he heard this and said, "Uncle Sun, didn't you make a lot of money when you went to work in the city? How come you have no money?"
Old Man Sun's eyes flickered and he said, "This money can't be spent. It will be gone when you turn around."
Jiang Hexi smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Sun, it's not that I won't lend you money. All my money is spent on hot pot restaurants in the city. You know that iron pots are expensive. I make those iron pots for cooking pots, but
I spent a lot of money and all the money in my hand was gone. Otherwise, I would have lived in the city long ago, why would I still be worried in the village?"
After hearing this, Old Man Sun felt that it was reasonable. Although he was a little unhappy, he could only stand up.
"Okay, excuse me."
Jiang Hexi didn't say much, she just said, "Uncle Sun, when you build the house, I asked Du Da to come over and help."
Old Man Sun snorted, not sure whether he heard it or not.
When Old Man Sun walked out, Mrs. Jiang came to visit and said, "He Xi, don't lend money to that old guy. That old guy is not a toy. He gave all the money to the widow next to him.
You have taken advantage of someone who has no money, and now you still have the nerve to borrow money? What are you borrowing money for? Borrowing money to continue to support the old widow and the young widow?"
Grandma Jiang was afraid that Jiang Hexi would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly told Old Man Sun about buying tiles and firewood for Mrs. Chen's house. When it was confirmed that Jiang Hexi had not borrowed money, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandma Jiang said, "That's it! He Xi, let me tell you, you can't open this hole. Everyone is poor now. If you know you are rich, why don't you be caught borrowing money? Now this
It doesn't matter if you borrow the year, or if you don't borrow it."
Jiang Hexi nodded, "Don't worry, Second Grandma, I've made it clear to him. All my money was used to invest in shops in the city. Where did the money come from? My house was burned to ashes."
"That's the truth!"
Grandma Jiang Er said something and then turned around and left.
The next day, there was faint news in the village that old man Sun was looking for people to borrow money everywhere. As a result, the Sun family and his son became the most unpopular people.
Whenever the villagers saw him coming to their door, they would slam the door tightly and would not open the door for him at all.
In the end, Old Man Sun turned around and still couldn't borrow a single coin.
Because it was too cold to live in the ruined temple, the father and son had no choice but to go up the mountain to cut firewood and plan to build a thatched house to live in first.
Fortunately, the firewood was all wild and could be cut down by everyone at will, and Old Man Sun and his son both had a lot of strength, so they could barely build the house.
When Mrs. Sun was still alive, she was a capable person and chose a house built with good stones. Because the foundation was solid, the Sun family and her son built a thatched house roof on the original foundation, which at least provided protection from wind and rain.
At this time, Jiang Hexi's engineering team actually had new work.
This job seemed to be a coincidence, as the other party came to the door on his own.
