Mr. Guan led Teams 2, 3, and 4 to the mountain to chop down trees for two days and gather the necessary wood. He also led people to get straw, reeds, yellow mud and other necessary materials.
It took about 4 days to prepare the materials. Once all the materials were gathered, we started work under the shouts of Guan Dapao.
Now we were destroying the Four Olds and all feudal ideas, and if we held a groundbreaking ceremony, everyone would be arrested, so we skipped that procedure and started construction directly.
First, they lifted the entire roof, repaired the leaky walls, replaced the beams, and then nailed wooden planks to the roof in a crisscross pattern. They covered it with straw and reeds, and secured it with yellow mud. This way, the roof would be strong, heavy, and warm. Guan's father thought, "When the village gets richer in a few years, I'll definitely build them a brick house so they can live there with peace of mind."
The Guan brothers hadn't signed up a few days ago. It was freezing cold, so who would be willing to go? They didn't explain it in detail when they got home. The wives didn't know about it at first, but only heard about it when the whole village was bustling with people preparing for the move. Why not go if you're given food? Foolish! With so many people participating, who knows how much you'll work? Why not go if you can just hang around for a few days and get food back? The key is that Guan Er is also involved, and he's a leader. After all, he's a brother. He can't turn a blind eye to their actions. If he can get the food, that's all.
After repeated instigation from their sisters-in-law, the four Guan brothers came to see their father. They started yelling at him, first using their emotions, then using moral coercion, and finally putting forward the condition that they would help him build the house.
Look, this is the main reason why Professor Dong insisted on going to the commune to register and prove the separation. This family is a bunch of scum, they just take advantage of the situation, they are like dog-skin plasters, they can't get rid of them.
Guan's father sat steadily, and after they finished speaking, he said, "The village chief will decide who will build the house. I don't have the final say."
"Second brother, you're not right. You're also involved in the management. How can you have no say in arranging a few people? Besides, we are brothers, you have to help us."
"Have you been kind to Guan Er over the years because we are brothers?" asked Guan's father.
Boss Guan stopped talking.
"Go find the village chief. It's no use asking me for this."
The four Guan brothers returned home disappointed.
Old Lady Guan scolded Old Man Guan for an hour in the yard but still felt unsatisfied. She wanted to go to the construction site to find him and scold him back, but was later persuaded by her fourth daughter-in-law.
This fourth brother was so sinister and mean, and she was an Oscar winner, but she had no good intentions at all. With a chuckle, she came up with a suggestion: "Mom, don't get angry with Second Brother. It's not worth it. If you get sick, you'll be the one suffering. In a few days, just say you're sick and hungry. He'll have to honestly deliver the food he worked so hard for all day to earn. Isn't that better than scolding him?"
Old Lady Guan thought about it and felt that it was true. That ungrateful bastard also had a share of food. He was a plague-ridden creature and should not be allowed to eat it. The food had to be given to his sons and grandsons. Thinking of this, she endured it and just waited for the time when the food would be distributed.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. There's a reason why Mrs. Guan has been on good terms with her daughters-in-law for so many years. Look at the trashy people who marry trashy wives. Each one is worse than the other. You can imagine what kind of education the next generation will have.
