Chapter 140: Urging Marriage
The reason why Liu Laowu was chosen to help watch the place at night was, firstly, to let him provide some financial support to the family, and secondly, because he was skilled in martial arts, and if someone really came over, he would be able to protect himself.
So, not only was the thing not lost, but I also got a basket for free.
When Liangzi went there early the next morning, Liu Laowu told him what had happened in the evening.
Liangzi looked at Zhuifeng who was lying beside the straw hut and said, "I heard that this is the offspring of a military dog. Like father, like son. It's amazing that he can guard the house at such a young age."
Originally, when houses were being built in the village, except for the skilled workers, all the others came to help out with good relationships, but they were provided with meals at noon.
But this was obviously impossible given Chuxue's situation, so she told Uncle Liangzi that except for the bricklayers, everyone else would be paid 30 cents a day, and she would also treat everyone to a meal on the day of the beam raising and completion.
At the beginning of the day, Uncle Liangzi didn't mention the money. He just wanted to see how many people would come to help. He only talked about the wages with everyone when work was over in the evening.
Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, many people came the next day. However, Liangzi was not a very capable person, so he only kept a few capable ones and sent away all the others.
Starting from the next day, Liu's mother would boil water and send it to the new house every morning and afternoon.
Chuxue would also go there in the morning and evening to see if anything was needed and make arrangements quickly.
When they were not busy, they and Liu's mother would start to tidy up the private plots allocated to them. Several families in the village who had good relations with them would send them their leftover vegetable seedlings and help plant them.
That day, Chuxue went to Uncle Liu Jiu's house to check on his progress in making furniture: "Uncle Jiu, the beams, purlins and rafters for the new house are all borrowed from the village. I thought I would go up the mountain to look for them and mark them when I have time these few days. I will cut them down and send them to you later. Please help me deal with them so that I can return them to the village earlier."
Uncle Liu Jiu nodded: "Okay, just send it over when the time comes."
He borrowed an axe from someone and went up the mountain alone.

Beijing City
Fu Yancheng looked at everyone at home and asked, "Can I still have a peaceful meal?"
When Mother Fu heard what he said, she said unhappily, "Every time I talk about blind dates, you have this attitude. There are already several people your age who are already married, so why are you so uninterested?
I spend so much effort to find out for you every day, what's your attitude? "
"Mom, didn't I tell you that I will find my own partner?"
"You said this, but did you take action?"
"Your sister is already 19 years old, and she's already dating someone, but you haven't made any move yet. Do you know what people are saying outside?"
"Let them say whatever they want."
Seeing her son not caring, Mother Fu raised her hand and slapped him on the arm: "Look at you, you've rejected so many girls before, and now people are saying that you have a hidden illness. If this continues, I think you'd better stay single."
Fu Yancheng didn't expect this to happen. Seeing that his mother was really angry, he said, "Mom, I promise you that I will bring my girlfriend home this year, and I will marry her next year at the latest."
When he said this, Fu's mother glared at him and said, "Don't try to fool me. You are already 24 years old. If you don't get married, what will happen to your sister? If you really let her get married before you, you will be single forever."
At this time, Zhang Yurong, the third sister-in-law of the Fu family, spoke up: "Fourth brother, there is a cousin in my mother's family who is fair-skinned and pretty, and graduated from high school. How about I bring her home so you can take a look at her?"
Fu Yancheng waved his hands quickly: "Third sister-in-law, please don't. I really have a girl I like. Don't get involved in my affairs."
It seems that he needs to work harder. No matter what, he needs to establish the relationship first. That way, he will have someone he loves and others won't have to target him anymore.
