Chapter 516 Red Apricot
Zhou Bingqiang's wife walked into the courtyard of Jiang Xia's house and asked directly, "Are you planning to build a higher wall?"
Zhou Chenglei was helping to unload bricks when Jiang Xia stood nearby. Hearing this, he said, "Yes, build it higher to prevent fire, theft, and peeping."
"Who peeped at you? Do you think you are a treasure?" Zhou Bingqiang's wife got angry when she heard this. The two houses were close to each other, so who was she protecting from peeping? Was she saying that her son was peeping at her?
Jiang Xia: "Of course I'm not a treasure, but some people always like to see how my family lives and my man all day long. It's also because he looks too good. Isn't there anything I can do about it? I'm trying to prevent someone from cheating on me!"
Zhou Bingqiang's wife: "..."
She thought of Wen Wan and her son quarreling, and every time she did that, she would talk about what happened next door or what Zhou Chenglei did.
Could that bitch have taken a fancy to Zhou Chenglei? Zhou Bingqiang's wife still had some self-knowledge, although not much, but this little self-knowledge forced her to admit that Zhou Chenglei was much more handsome than her son! Which wife in the entire production team didn't praise Zhou Chenglei for his good looks? She looked up at the second floor of her house.
Wen Wan sits by the window all day long. When she looks up, she can see the yard here and the second floor opposite.
Most of the men in the room were shirtless and walking around in shorts. Only Zhou Chenglei and his wife lived on the second floor.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bingqiang's wife felt that her son's head was greener than the vegetables in her own vegetable garden!
Wen Wan, that slut! No wonder she doesn't want to raise the wall!
"How high do you plan to build it?"
Zhou's mother: "We can build it as high as we want, what's it to you?"
Zhou Bingqiang's wife: "I can't control it, but if you build the wall too high and block my family's fortune, it's not good. Don't think of suppressing my family's luck!"
Their house is on their left, the building is taller than theirs, and the wall is taller than theirs, so isn't that putting pressure on them? Now they don't have the money to raise their house.
Jiang Xia: "Of course, we have to build it to half the height of the windows on the second floor of your house, so that no one can peek at my man. Aunt, let me tell you this, if you don't want to be blocked, there are two solutions. The first is to raise the wall yourself, then it's not us who are suppressing you, it's you who are suppressing us. We don't mind being suppressed. The second way is more cost-effective, your son and daughter-in-law can move to another room, and stop staring at my house through that window all the time, just stare at my man!"
Wen Wan also came over and couldn't bear to listen any longer: "Who was staring at your man?"
Jiang Xia: "Do you dare to swear that you didn't peek at my house or at Zhou Chenglei? Those who peek will never get rich in their life?"
Wen Wan: “…”
What a vicious woman!
Jiang Xia smiled: "You don't dare anymore?"
Wen Wan: "Who peeked? My window is right there. I can see your yard every day when I open the window! Is this called peeking? How can you know I was peeking without you looking at me? I even said Zhou Chenglei peeked at me changing clothes!"
Zhou Chenglei looked at Jiang Xia: "I definitely didn't!"
Jiang Xia ignored Zhou Chenglei: "Really? How did he steal it? Didn't you close the window when you changed clothes, so he could steal it?"
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
Wen Wan: “…”
Zhou Bingqiang's wife: "..."
Jiang Xia looked Wen Wan up and down: "So you are so bold, changing clothes with the window open? How many people passing by would see you?"
Wen Wan: “…”
Zhou Bingqiang’s wife turned her head and stared at Wen Wan!
Wen Wan was almost pissed off by Jiang Xia. She was angry and embarrassed: "Don't slander me. I was just giving an example!"
Jiang Xia sneered: "Then you are really good at giving examples! You use this kind of thing as an example. Do you really covet him and want to change clothes without closing the window in front of him? That's why you think of giving such an example?"
Wen Wan: “…”
"Don't spit blood on me! I didn't do that!"
Jiang Xia ignored her and looked at Zhou Bingqiang's wife: "Aunt Qiang, look, no matter who peeks at whom, don't we have to solve the problem of the window? So is it your family that builds the wall, or mine? If your family doesn't build it, then my family must build it! Don't say that my family is suppressing your family! I just don't want other people to peek into my house! I also don't want others to misunderstand that my man is peeping! After all, the window is open there, and sometimes you can't help but see it!"
Wen Wan's eyes turned red with anger: "Who is Hong Xing? Who are you mocking?"
Zhou Bingqiang's wife said angrily: "My family will build it! Your family doesn't need to build it!"
She stared at Wen Wan: "Why don't you go home?"
She said this, pulled Wen Wan along, and went home angrily. She went to the woodshed to find a piece of wood, and hurried upstairs with a hammer and nails to seal the window directly!
Go buy bricks and sand tomorrow to raise the wall! Wen Wan was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Zhou Bingqiang's wife is a fool. She believes whatever others instigate!
***The bricks and sand next door had been bought, so Zhou's mother asked, "Are we still going to build the wall?"
Jiang Xia listened to the sound of nailing windows next door: "Don't worry, let's see if the neighbors build their walls. If they build their walls higher, we won't build ours."
How ugly would it be to suddenly add a wall? And their courtyard wall is also decorated with stone rice. In order to make it more beautiful, they have to paint it white and make the exterior wall. And a protruding wall is also abrupt.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If the neighbors need to build the house, of course let them build it first!
Zhou's mother: "Then why did you buy so many bricks?"
Jiang Xia: "If you don't need it, build a house for my second brother. It won't be wasted anyway."
Zhou's mother was speechless when she heard this: "Your second brother doesn't even know when to build a house."
Zhou Chenglei: "It will be built sooner or later."
Zhou's mother thought that her second son had earned a lot of money this month. They did not live in the village often, so they did not need to build many floors when building a house. One floor would be enough.
Build a single floor, the foundation does not need to be too good, and the house does not need to be too big. Two or three rooms are enough, and the decoration can be simple. Include a courtyard wall, and build a kitchen and one or two storage rooms. It can be done within ten thousand yuan.
Next year my second son should also have the opportunity to build a house.
Zhou's mother asked again, "How much is the brick now?"
Zhou Chenglei: "It's more expensive than when we built the house. It's one cent more expensive per brick."
Mother Zhou frowned, "No way? The price has gone up again? When your great grandmother went to order the bricks, the price hadn't gone up yet."
Zhou Chenglei: "It has only recently increased. The director of the brick factory said that there are constructions everywhere in the city and the price of bricks will continue to rise. The price of sand has also increased by 1 cent per cubic meter, and the price of cement has also increased."
He was planning to ask his second brother to buy some bricks.
Zhou's mother couldn't help but grumble: "Everything has gone up in price, but your second brother and his wife's salary hasn't gone up!"
"The price of bricks has increased, the price of sand has increased, the price of cement and steel bars have also increased. Everything has increased in price, but wages have not increased. How can people save money to build houses?"
Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything. Everyone's salary will increase sooner or later, and his second brother's salary will also increase sooner or later.
But building a house requires a lot of money, and it is not a problem that can be solved by just raising wages.
It always depends on gradual accumulation.
After lunch, the sun was shining brightly. The fish cages should have been completed, as they had been almost finished a few days ago. Zhou Chenglei took Jiang Xia out to sea to take a look.
