Chapter 2017 Building a House
. Chen Dalian, Liu Lu and other buddies helped Brother Zhou organize the wedding, and also dealt with the remaining ingredients for the banquet. They also arranged all the trivial matters. They only had one night's rest and were ready to go on the morning of the 15th. Go to the construction site.
Brother Zhou and Ms. Li were happily married, and the next day they packed up a homecoming gift and returned to Grandma Cao's house.
Most of the Cao family members helped take care of the belongings and went back to their respective homes on the afternoon of the 14th. On the day when the new couple returned home, only Granny Cao’s male cousins went to Granny Cao’s house to have lunch with the new uncle.
Brother Zhou accompanied his new wife back home, preparing to go to work the next day. As a result, it started to rain at dawn on the 16th. It was light rain, but it kept falling, and the outdoor work at the construction site could not start.
Brother Zhou called and asked the foreman to confirm that there would be no work that day because of the rain, and then asked his buddy to come to his house for dinner at noon. Not to mention that the buddy had to work for two days to help him organize the wedding. It was tiring to hold the banquet on a hot day, so he invited his buddy to have a meal to thank him. one time.
Liu Lu and others didn't show any politeness, they all agreed. After breakfast, they went to Zhou's house to have a meal, and then went to Le's house to play.
Brother Le was chatting with his buddies at home, while Zhou Qiufeng invited the guests to play at home. She had something to do and went to the village to discuss business with the people who grew glutinous rice. She made a reservation for the glutinous rice from the family who wanted to sell it. After the owner milled the rice, she waited until the weather cleared. Go pull it again.
There are several early rice companies in Meicun that grow glutinous rice. Everyone keeps part of it for themselves, and basically sells a few hundred kilograms. If the Le family wants to buy glutinous rice, they are naturally willing to sell the rice to the Le family.
Yan Lao knew that the little girl said that the weather was going to change, so they packed up the dry rice on the evening of the 15th and left it in the sun for two days. The rice was very dry and ready for storage.
The two elders secretly waited for the rice to be eaten, and packed two large boxes for the little girl to keep for research. They also left a basket of rice under the eaves of the south building to let it absorb some water and moisten it for two days before rolling it. Rice and other rice are collected into the warehouse.
When things really changed in the morning, the two elders were so surprised that they nagged the little girl for a long time, which made the little girl angrily and stopped paying attention to them.
After being bombarded for a while by the almost talkative Yan Lao, Le Xiao’s head was hurting. He finally managed to escape, put on wooden clogs with ten centimeter-high soles, and held a big umbrella to go out.
Young Master Yan was ordered to stay at home again. With a grimace on his face, he climbed back to the second floor and took out his computer, crying and complaining to his brothers in the team.
The wolf men far away in the capital: "..." The captain stayed at the little Loli's house and had a good time, and he came to show off when he was fine. I really wanted to beat him to death!
Le Xiao, a student wearing waterproof clogs, walked to the village road and called a supervisor of the construction team responsible for the school construction site to make an appointment to meet.
The supervisor of the construction team received the appointment from Miss Le, called another supervisor and a supervisor, took simple measuring instruments and notebooks, and hurried to Jiudaoxiang Street.
The three of them drove a van and arrived first. After waiting for a while in the parking lot of Xiang Street, they saw the Lejia girl strolling out of the rain holding an umbrella.
As people came closer and closer, the three men also saw the little girl walking on "stilts" shoes. It's no wonder that she also wore a long robe and long-sleeved Hanfu on rainy days and was not afraid of getting her shoes and skirt wet from the rain.
When she met with people from the construction company, Le Yun realized that even though she was wearing a pair of high-heeled waterproof clogs, she was still a little shorter than the three men, which made her so depressed that she wanted to hit the wall.
No matter how depressed I was, I couldn't miss my business. I led the three construction engineers into the alley of the cross well and went to the outside of Granny Cao's house. I pointed to Granny Cao's house and asked them how much it would cost to knock down the old house and renovate it. How much time is needed and how much money is expected.
Because of the rain, Grandma Cao didn't go to the vegetable garden. She was watching her eldest granddaughter teach her youngest granddaughter how to read. She didn't know Miss Le was outside the house until she heard her voice. She hurried from the main room to the eaves to greet her.
Cao Qingyue and Cao Bingyue also followed her grandma outside. When she saw Sister Lejia, she happily called "Sister Le".
The master came out, and Le Yun invited the three men to enter the main room of Granny Cao's house.
The watermelons grown at home were not picked. Fortunately, the Cao family prepared some fruits when they came to help the day before yesterday. Cao Bingyue first poured a cup of warm water for the guests, then found some cantaloupe, washed some, put them on plates, and brought them to the main room to greet the guests.
After autumn, a rain finally came, which relieved the heat. Sitting at Grandma Cao's house and drinking warm water, I didn't sweat from the heat.
After drinking water, Le Xiao said that he had hired professionals from a construction company to measure the dimensions of Grandma Cao’s house and assess the project budget for knocking down the house and rebuilding it.
Grandma Cao was confused and said blankly: "My family is not planning to build a house." "
You are not planning to build a house. I am planning to tear down the old house and build a new one for you. Your house in your hometown has mud walls. How many walls are there?" The inside of this place has been hollowed out by rats. If heavy rain comes diagonally and wets the walls, the mud walls will collapse, or a strong typhoon of magnitude 5 or 6 can blow down the walls. It is very unsafe to live in a house like this. You have to overthrow and build a new one to live in peace of mind."
Le Yun explained with a smile, and before Granny Cao could say anything, she added: "Besides, Granny Cao, your two granddaughters are in high school and one will go to kindergarten soon. You have a lot of homework when you are studying. The old house in your hometown is not well-lit. It is easy for the little ones to do their homework in a house with poor light." Cao Bingyue was shocked: "Sister Le, you have to...help us
make A house?"
"Yes," Le Yun nodded gently: "I am optimistic about you and your sister, just think that I am investing in you, creating a better growth environment for your sisters, so that you can grow up healthily and be successful in the future. Don’t forget your roots, do some good deeds you can do, and let the world know that the men in Fang County are upright and the girls in Jiudao are affectionate and righteous.”
Cao Qingyue listened to Sister Le’s words and felt that every word she said weighed more than a thousand pounds. , the corners of her eyes suddenly became wet, and she nodded heavily: "I will! I will also supervise my sister, and I will be an upright person."
Cao Bingyue didn't understand yet, so she only knew how to stay close to her sister and be obedient.
Granny Cao had tears rolling down her eyes and her voice was choked with sobs: "Miss Le, please put yourself in my granddaughter's shoes. I have nothing to say. Although my savings are not much, they are still around a hundred thousand. No matter how much more you have, I will be fine." I have to ask you to post it."
"Grandma Cao, keep your money. When your granddaughter gets married and you have a great-grandson, you can keep the money to buy milk powder and clothes for your great-grandson."
Le Yun was not surprised that Granny Cao, an old lady, had accumulated more than 100,000 yuan, and smiled lightly: "I have made a rough budget, and the demolition and reconstruction will not exceed 300,000 yuan. To be honest, I usually make
money It’s an income of millions and tens of millions. Two or three hundred thousand is just a drop in the ocean to me.
I’m not short of money. As long as the money is spent well, I won’t feel bad even if it costs hundreds of millions. If it’s not well spent, I won’t feel bad. I can't bear to split the money. I think Granny Cao and your old granddaughter are worth it, so I am willing to invest in them. I am
only responsible for providing the funds, and the project is left to the construction company. Granny Cao, you always take advantage of your eldest granddaughter at home. If you know what documents are needed, you can go to the village cadre tomorrow to help with the construction permit.
Then pack up your things and put them with the Cao family's family members if they can. If there is no place to put things, move important things to Zhou Zhou first. Store it at Grandma’s house.
Pigs, chickens and ducks can also be taken to Grandma Zhou’s house. Grandma Zhou’s house is wide. Even if Grandma Zhou doesn’t have enough space, my house still has room to keep the chickens, ducks and pigs. Once you get the things out,
work can start here right away. If The speed is fast enough. It can be completed before New Year's Day, and the house can be built by the end of the year at the latest for you to live in a new house during the New Year." "
I listen to you, what do you tell me to do." Grandma Cao thought, wiping She wiped her eyes and never said any nonsense again. The Le family girl was determined to cultivate her granddaughter, and she accepted this love.
"I like Grandma Cao who is straightforward and straightforward. She doesn't talk too much and doesn't engage in vain things. She is so comfortable. Let's make an agreement. I will tell Uncle Zhou when I go back that you talked about building a house. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow It should still rain. Let Uncle Zhou and Aunt Li come back tomorrow to help pack things."
Granny Cao is not a mother-in-law or a drag-and-drop person. Le Yun feels very comfortable and has done the ideological work. The rest is to discuss what the construction will look like.
There is no problem. After discussion, the layout of the house remains unchanged. The first floor must be a reinforced concrete building. Two rooms will be built on the second floor with tiles on top. The two rooms on the second floor will be used to store things, leaving room for the two rooms. Used to dry things.
The kitchen was also demolished and a new one was built, and the livestock house at the back did not need to be rebuilt.
Miss Lejia and Granny Cao were talking. The three people in the construction company were confused at first, and then fell into admiration. Miss Le, she asked them to measure the foundation without consulting the owner?
Miss Le is worthy of being a celebrity in E North. She is courageous and has no pressure to play first and then play!
Miss Le and Grandma Cao discussed it, and the three of them went to measure the dimensions of the house. After measuring, they showed it to Miss Le and the Cao family's grandparents, so that they could also confirm the dimensions.
Cao Qingyue wrote down the dimensions of the house's foundation.
After getting the dimensions of the house, Le Xiao's classmates and the people from the construction company left. The three people from the construction company went to the street and took a bus back to the project department at the elementary school construction site to immediately calculate the project materials and funds and prepare the contract.
Grandma Cao sent away the Le family girl and the construction workers, took her granddaughter and told her not to speak ill of her conscience in the future, and took her eldest granddaughter to take care of the property.
Le Xiaoxiao returned to the village from Granny Cao's house and went straight to Grandma Zhou's house. She found Uncle Zhou's Aunt Li, Grandma Zhou, and Zhou Tianming who were busy preparing lunch. She told them that she was helping Granny Cao build a house and asked Granny Cao to take care of her granddaughter. Come to Zhou's house to stay temporarily.
The young and old of the Zhou family were shocked.
When Xiao Lele said she wanted to help Granny Cao build a house, she certainly didn't mean to do the work. When she said building a house, she meant to help her build a house with money.
It costs at least hundreds of thousands to build a house. Xiao Lele and Granny Cao have no blood relationship, and there was no deep friendship before. Xiao Lele is actually willing to spend hundreds of thousands to help Granny Cao build a house. Do you think you can help her? Surprised?
After coming back to his senses, everyone looked complicated.
Especially Ms. Li, her eyes were red. She knew that Miss Le wanted to make her, the new daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, look good. Otherwise, why would Miss Le have given her a dress, borrowed a luxury car, and now built a house for her natal family.
She couldn't say anything to swear she wouldn't be ungrateful, but she remembered the support and care the Le family girls gave to the three generations of their family.
In the future, if the two cubs dare to imitate Li Xiaoyan and Zhou Jiachunmei, she will break the person's legs and cut off the relationship without anyone having to tell them, and they will pretend that they have never given birth to such cubs.
Ms. Li wiped her eyes and said to her mother-in-law and Brother Zhou: "If Qingyue and Bingyue make trouble, if Xia Long and I are not at home, Mom, you and Tianming don't have to worry about me. You should scold me." Just scold and give a beating when it's time to hit. If a child does something wrong and doesn't give it a beating, it won't last long in his memory." "
Okay, as you say, I won't spoil the child and can be reasonable. Just say it, and if you don’t change what you said, you’ll be slapped.” Grandma Zhou nodded happily. She was most afraid of people who protected the cubs regardless of their importance. Aunt Meng never asked her to give Li Xiaoyan a spanking when she made a mistake.
Zhou Tianming also nodded. Leyun recognized the Cao sisters, indicating that the two cubs were teachable and he would also supervise the two stepsisters.
The Zhou family was mentally prepared. Le Xiaoxiao walked home happily and saw Mrs. Wang, Grandma Chao and Mrs. Wu making dumplings, as well as Grandma Liu Qi and Grandma Zhang San who came over to sit around. The handle was pushed away by the old ladies.
The old ladies refused to let themselves get involved, so classmate Le Xiao also took over other people's work. He took off his clogs and wore embroidered shoes and went up to the second floor. He continued to take out the box containing the patient's diagnosis and continued to write the diagnosis.
Zhou Qiufeng went out for a walk and has come back. She and Sister-in-law Liu, Sister-in-law Zhao, Sister-in-law Hu, Sister-in-law He, fried sesame seeds and peanuts in the kitchen and were grinding them. Dad Le and his buddies were eating melon seeds and chatting about the mountains.
Li Xian took his junior brother to class first, and Lao Yan and Lao Yan didn't attend. They also went to the living room on the second floor to sit, drinking tea and playing chess with Young Master Yan.
The two elders didn't actually want to play chess, but every time the little girl was at home and she was working on the second floor, they would usually make tea and drink it, so Yan Shaozi always stuck to the little girl to get good tea.
The two old men, who have become mature in age, have only recently understood the mystery, so now when the little girl is not teaching Leshan at home, they secretly stay on the second floor.
Mr. Yan, who was left behind by the little Lolita, made a pot of tea and complained to his brothers. As a result, two thirds of the pot of tea was taken away by the two elders. There was nothing he could do. Seeing that the Little Lolita was back, he went there again. Make a pot.
Sister-in-law Zhao and others ground the sesame and peanut fillings and went to make the buns.
At noon, the dumplings and steamed buns made by the old ladies were also baked. The women did not go to Zhou's house and ate dumplings at Le's house. Brother Le brought a pack of freshly baked dumplings and went to his mother-in-law's house for lunch with his friends.
Classmate Du Miaoshu, who was fed a lot of chicken soup by the girl at the same table, had a good night's sleep and woke up naturally. When she woke up, she found that no one else in the dormitory came back last night.
People who have boyfriends stay up all night, so you can imagine what they are doing.
Classmate Du, who understood instantly, was embarrassed. He opened the curtains and saw that it was raining lightly outside. He was filled with emotion. No wonder he woke up late. It turned out to be raining and it was too cool, so he slept soundly.
Feeling the refreshing feeling on her face, Du Miaoshu did some stretching exercises, washed her face and brushed her teeth quickly, packed herself up and was about to go downstairs to find food, when a call from Manager Xue came in.
After answering the phone, Manager Xue knew that she had gotten up and told her that he was downstairs and asked her to have breakfast. Classmate Du went downstairs carrying a small backpack.
Xue Yunlang was waiting downstairs with an umbrella. He saw the girl running downstairs with a bright smile: "It's raining today, so I can't run in the morning. Are you interested in going to the lotus pond in the nearby park to enjoy the rain?" "Okay.
" Du Miaoshu decided to spend some time with Director Xue, so she readily accepted the invitation to go on a date.
The girl was in good spirits and did not refuse to go out for a walk. Xue Yunlang also understood that she was expressing her willingness to be with someone else. He happily opened the umbrella and took the girl into the rain curtain to start the first date of love.
