Chen Wang patiently had a few meaningless and awkward conversations with the neighbor.
Recently, this situation often occurs when he comes here to fetch water.
He could probably guess some of the other person's thoughts.
I just want him to feel that since he has done a lot of good things for me, I should give him some benefits in return.
To be honest, it's speechless.
If the other party doesn't have this intention, or at least doesn't show it so obviously, he might really give the other party some meat from time to time.
Chen Wang evaded the other party's questions with a single word, and he was eager to move into his new home.
After fetching water and returning to the kitchen, he began to prepare dinner.
After thinking for a moment, I decided to keep it simple and just cook some noodles.
I have those kinds of noodles at home, so I don’t have to go through the trouble of kneading the dough.
First I cut some dried lamb slices and then cut two tomatoes.
After the ingredients were prepared, he took a handful of straw, folded it in half, lit it with a match, squatted down and stuffed it into the stove.
Then quickly add some firewood.
Soon, the fire in the stove was burning fiercely.
Chen Wang went around to the other side and poured oil into the pot. After the oil was hot, he added chopped green onions and diced tomatoes, and added some salt to make the juice come out faster.
When it’s almost done, add the source of life and bring to a boil, then add the noodles and a few simple seasonings.
Finally, add the chopped lamb slices, cover the pot and cook for about five minutes.
When he opened the lid of the pot and was about to serve the noodles, the little girl came back laughing with the little fox, the little monkey and the three dogs.
"Brother, I'm back. It smells so good. What are you doing?"
“Mutton noodles.”
Chen Wang responded loudly.
"Oh! I'm so hungry, help me get a big bowl."
"I know, I know. Go and wake up your sister-in-law to eat noodles."
"good!"
The little girl responded, skipped into the house, and shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, get up and eat noodles! The noodles my brother cooked are so delicious! "
After the family of three had eaten noodles, they washed up and went to bed early.
I got up so early and ran around outside all day, I was exhausted both physically and mentally.
…
…
The construction team has completed the work at Chen Wang's home, and will be at Chen Wang's place almost every day afterwards.
However, Chen Wang still only provides one lunch.
It’s not that he is stingy and reluctant to spend that little money, but it’s mainly too tiring. It would be better to prepare a better lunch and let the workers eat more meat.
As for dinner, they went back home to eat.
On the day they went to the city, the workers asked the master to ask a woman in the village to prepare lunch for them, and he paid her one yuan as a wage.
You can get one dollar just for cooking a meal, so any woman in the village who has nothing to do would definitely be willing to do it.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Wang arrived at the construction site.
The main body of the yard has been basically completed and it looks quite satisfactory. The workers are currently carrying out some indoor construction.
The southeast corner is the gate of the courtyard. After entering, there is a room on the innermost left, which is called the back house, which is usually used for guests or servants to stay.
Going forward, you will pass the second door. After crossing the door, you will reach the main courtyard. On the north side is the two-story main building and the main house, and on the left and right sides are the east and west wing rooms.
Chen Wang visited the place on his own and when he saw the workers were busy working and sweating, he did not disturb them and quietly left.
I went to the grocery store at the entrance of the village and bought some soda and beer, and also bought twenty mung bean popsicles, two cents each.
After I returned with the things, I saw my wife and the little girl coming over, preparing lunch for the workers.
"Xiaoyu, come here."
Chen Wang waved his hand.
The little girl looked towards him following the sound, and seeing what he was holding, she ran over happily, looking at him expectantly.
"Brother, what?"
"Here, share it among everyone."
Chen Wang took one out and handed the remaining mung bean popsicle to her.
"Okay, I'll go and share it with the uncles."
The little girl took it with both hands, turned around and ran away happily.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to eat a popsicle?"
She looked at Lin Xiuqin and asked loudly.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and shook her head at her.
"You are stupid, your sister-in-law is pregnant, she can't eat that."
Chen Wang shouted angrily.
"All right!"
The little girl nodded, walked into the yard without stopping, and shouted loudly: "Everyone come and eat popsicles!!"
Chen Wang shook his head with amusement, walked to the stove, put down the beer and soda he had bought, and prepared the ingredients with Lin Xiuqin.
After a while, the little girl came out with a popsicle in each hand, licking them happily.
"Eat less, it's time to eat."
Chen Wang reminded with a smile.
"I know. I'll just eat these two."
The little girl said with a smile.
When it was time to eat, the workers who came out saw beer and soda and smiled.
In such hot weather, have a bottle of beer or soda while eating. Don't be too comfortable, your appetite will be better.
After arranging for the workers to finish their meal, Chen Wang and his family of three packed up their things and went home to take a nap.
I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly woken up by the sound of a car.
There were also noisy discussions coming from outside.
Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin woke up together.
Lin Xiuqin showed a look of doubt on her face.
"Is it the refrigerator and the fan that have been delivered?"
Chen Wang helped her sit up and told her his guess.
Sure enough, the little girl's excited shouting was heard outside.
"Brother, sister-in-law, come out quickly, our refrigerator and electric fan are here."
"I'll go check it out. You don't have to worry about it. Just continue sleeping. It's okay."
Chen Wang said something to his wife, put on his shoes, and went out.
Lin Xiuqin naturally took off her pajamas too. After tidying up the wrinkles on her clothes, she put on her slippers and followed him out.
There was a Jiefang brand truck parked outside the house, and many villagers were watching and talking around.
Especially some children, many of whom saw such a car for the first time, followed closely and played around the car, and some were even climbing up.
"Come down, don't climb up."
A middle-aged man came down from the driver's seat, cigarette in mouth, and scolded a group of kids with a stern face.
"Awang, what did you buy again?"
At the next door, Chen Wentao asked curiously.
“Home appliances!”
Chen Wang answered casually.
"Are you colleague Chen Wang?"
The middle-aged driver turned his eyes to Chen Wang.
"It's me!"
Chen Wang nodded and walked over.
"The refrigerator and electric fan you bought at the department store have arrived. Please sign for them."
"Okay, thank you!"
The other party opened the flap on the side of the truck and climbed up skillfully.
There were quite a few electrical appliances in the car, including those bought by Chen Wang and some to be sent to other places.
