Mother Li, who was waiting for the door, saw that her son and daughter-in-law were back, so she felt relieved and went back to the east room to rest.
The next day, Li Rongguo went to the team's homestead.
It extends to the west of Li Jianguo.
With the homestead in hand, Li Rongguo was full of energy. He was about to lay bricks, but his cousin stopped him.
"The adobe bricks have been laid, right in front of Brother Wang's house. The house and yard are built with stones. We have cut them on the mountain. You and Suozhu are carrying the baskets to the foot of the mountain and waiting. The roof is made of tiles. Lin Guangde has been named
Go and notify Ouyang Lei."
"Jungkook, I, I have no money."
"Think I lent it to you. You will pay back the cement and tiles when you have money later. The rest is free."
"Cement? I, I don't want to build such a good house."
"We've already asked Ouyang Lei to deliver it. Building a house is a big deal, how can we just make do with it? We've built it all at once. Don't worry about the money, just pay it back slowly."
Zhao Xiaofang, who was already able to get out of bed, was shocked when she heard that the tile-roofed house was built with pure stone, "Big Mai Daddy, we..."
"It's what Zhengguo decides. I can't refuse. Let's build it. Zhengguo is right. You can build a house in one step and you won't need to spend money on the house in the future."
…
When picking stones, Li Rongguo finally understood how the stones got to the foot of the mountain.
"Why not just get it back?"
"Hide people's eyes, otherwise they will come to my wife for help. Will my wife refuse or not?"
Li Zhengguo looked at his brother, with his IQ, no wonder he was so oppressed that he couldn't get up.
"oh."
Li Zhengguo and his wife continued to run up the mountain carrying the large stretcher bag woven with vines, while Li Rongguo and Chen Suozhu took turns carrying it back and forth.
The stones were only halfway transported. When Ouyang Lei arrived at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but say a few words when he saw Daxia Tian using his martial arts skills on such a thing.
"Sister, you can get as many red bricks as you want. Why are you so tired?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy."
"Yes, yes, sister, just be happy. Those tiles of cement were unloaded into your yard, and your mother-in-law used that big iron pot to grind it."
"Well, you can pick some vegetables from the vegetable shed in the south, and the money will be deducted from these vegetables."
"Then you're busy, I'll go right away."
When there were vegetables, Ouyang Lei lost his carelessness and turned around to run away.
Li Zhengguo said to Chen Suozhu, who was carrying the burden, "Suozhu, go back and watch."
"good."
…
Stones were piled into Li Rongguo's foundation, and the commune members were extremely envious.
The five companies in the middle are the ones I envy the most.
Of course, Zhang Fangcao's envy was different. "Aren't the stones in the mountains collective? We just picked up some rocks exposed on the ground, but you guys knocked them directly from the mountain."
"Doesn't what you picked up belong to the collective?"
Tian Jing had finished transporting the rocks on the mountain. She came over to see how much was left, and heard Zhang Fangcao's strange words.
"How about I give away the money for the stones? Then I'll count how many stones each household has, and let's all be good members of the community who don't take advantage of the collective, okay?"
Zhang Fangcao turned around, holding out her pregnant belly, "Okay, let's discuss it."
Tian Jing didn't care, "You can do the calculation however you want, just spend more time counting other people's stones."
But the members quit.
"Zhang Fangcao, shut up."
"That's right, Zhang Fangcao, do you think you are rich because you are pregnant with a lucky baby? The stones on the walls of your parents' house are higher than anyone else's, and the yard of your husband's house is also made of stones."
"Why are you reminding her? When her mother and sister-in-law come again and push her lucky doll away, it won't be too late for you to remind her."
"Yes, aren't they just picking up some rocks out of the ground? The couple are so lazy that they only picked up a few rocks to build the house, and they almost didn't even have enough for the foundation."
"Yeah, right? I heard that the eldest brother of the Zhang family who came to help was so angry that he turned around and left."
"How much do you know? I heard that the eldest brother of the Zhang family and Old Man Zhang helped build the adobe bricks. Otherwise, there wouldn't be even a single adobe brick."
"Haha, why are you mentioning these old almanacs? Just say that recently, I have been lazy in the land I have adopted. I have not sifted the soil carefully and the seedlings on both sides have not grown well. So I have harmed the seedlings on both sides. One of them is to help
They built the house for their natal family.”
"A white-eyed wolf is nothing more than that. By the way, how do you know that the ground wasn't sifted carefully?"
"When the captain took people to check on the stolen seedlings, he reached out and turned out a lot of gravel."
"Huh? From the outside, doesn't the land look like dirt?"
"Who knows who stole the sifted soil and sprinkled it on it? This is not the time to calculate work points. Who are you trying to fool?"
"I never noticed before that these two people are so lazy."
"Nonsense, the family hadn't been separated before, and Jianguo and his wife were in front. Besides, the person who didn't do housework and said he wanted to go to his ex-fiancé's house to help, wasn't it already exposed?"
"Yes, yes, it turns out that the eggs are all made of sheep shit and have a shiny surface? No wonder Accountant Li was so angry that he drove away his wife?"
"Isn't he just spoiled by his wife? But he manipulated the eldest son so hard that he spoiled the younger one like a second-rate person. He looks worse than Lin Erlai."
"There's something wrong with what you said. Lin Erlai was a scoundrel before, but things have changed since he got a wife."
"Yes, that's right. It seems that marrying a wife still depends on character. Aren't there two sharp contrasts?"
"That is, a good wife will prosper three generations, but a stupid wife will destroy three generations."
The discussion meeting among the members was in full swing, and they did not take the protagonist of the meeting seriously at all. The protagonist of the meeting backed away in anger.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Tian Jing shouted to her with a loud voice, "Zhang Fangcao, if you retreat again, you will retreat to the pile of rocks. What do you want to do? Do you want to touch porcelain?"
"The first cousin of the Li family has no money, so everything he uses must be borrowed from me. Speaking of which, he and Zhao Xiaofang are pitiful enough. You can choose someone else."
The members' discussion was interrupted, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Fangcao.
Zhang Fangcao is really not far from the stone pile.
Tian Jing took the opportunity to call everyone to testify, "Please help me prove that the pile of stones has been there for a long time, and it is in the homestead of the first cousin of the Li family. Anyone who touches porcelain will not admit it."
"Tian Jing, what does touching porcelain mean?" Sister-in-law Niu asked if she had any doubts.
"Porcelain touching is when someone takes a broken piece of porcelain, puts it in a cloth bag, and bumps it with you intentionally. The bag falls to the ground. The person touching porcelain says that the porcelain is worth a lot of money. If you knock it off, it will break on the ground, and you will have to pay for it.
, I will compensate you as much as the other party says."
"Ah? There are such evil-hearted people?" Sister-in-law Niu's surprise did not seem to be disguised, "So, the porcelain in Zhang Fangcao's belly is broken?"
Tian Jing shook his head, "Whether it's bad or not, only I know."
The members immediately took a step back.
"Quick, call Li Aiguo to come out and watch his wife. Don't harm others."
"Yes, call Li Aiguo out quickly."
Li Aiguo, whose face was covered with stubble, was dragged out, "What did you do to drag me out?"
The two gay men who dragged him out pointed at Zhang Fangcao, who was being watched by two women beside the pile of rocks.
"Quickly, take your wife home, run into the foundation of Li Rong's country with a big belly, and run to the edge of the pile of rocks. What are you going to do? If there is something, who is to blame?"
Li Aiguo rubbed his sleepy eyelids and yelled to the west, "Zhang Fangcao, get back here."
Zhang Fangcao visibly shrank, looked at the two people around him, and walked to Li Aiguo with small steps.
Li Aiguo glared at her fiercely, turned around and went home.
