"Mom, grandma, the beautiful sister is here!" Yes, in Lu Xiaohe's small group, Cheng Yunan and Tao Xingwan are both beautiful sisters.
However, Ma Xiulian would occasionally mention Cheng Yunan when she returned home, so Lu Xiaohe had a deeper impression of Cheng Yunan. In her heart, Cheng Yunan was prettier than Tao Xingwan.
When he saw the beautiful young lady, Lu Xiaohe's face flushed with excitement.
"Hello little girl, my name is Cheng Yunan."
"Sister, I know you. You are Cheng Zhiqing, and your name is Lu Xiaohe. You can call me Xiaohe."
"Okay, Xiaohe!"
Lu Xiaohe: Pretty sister has a nice voice, and it sounds even better when you call her by her name. She likes Pretty sister.
"Sister, come in quickly!"
"Oh good!"
Cheng Yunan was welcomed into the house.
Ma Xiu Lian got off the bed and told her family that Cheng Yunan would be coming over in a while. She also asked the second son's family to add a meat dish. At this time, the second son's wife was complaining.
"Cheng Zhiqing is an outsider. Why do you give her meat dishes when she comes here?"
She didn't receive this treatment even when she entered the Lu family.
She also overheard the discussion between her elder sister and mother-in-law at noon, and now she pouted.
The third son of the Lu family looked so horrible that any normal woman would never agree to marry him.
You still want Cheng Zhiqing to agree? You are dreaming.
Humph! She was waiting to see the old woman slap her in the face.
Cheng Yunan handed over the chicken and malted milk, "Auntie, Sister Xiaoyue gave me too much. I can't eat so much by myself. Bring some over for you and the village chief to taste."
Malted milk is really a scarce commodity.
The two cans that Lu Xiaoyue sent were obtained by her through the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Seeing that it was such a valuable item, Ma Xiulian could not accept it. She said with a fierce face, "This malted milk is a good thing. You lost so much blood before, so keep it for yourself to replenish yourself. I'll take this chicken. I'll stew it for you to eat and take it back."
Cheng Yunan could feel Ma Xiulian's sincerity, but there was no point in taking the things back after they had been brought here.
Cheng Yunan laughed cheerfully and said, "Auntie, this is also a gift to the Buddha. Aren't you looking for the village chief to help you?"
Lu Weimin also knew that Cheng Yunan had saved his eldest grandson. He was silent for a moment before saying, "What is it? It's just within my ability. I can help you."
It can be considered as repaying her favor.
Cheng Yunan was not stupid, so she naturally heard the hidden meaning in Lu Weimin's words. She did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Uncle Village Chief, I think my aunt should have mentioned to you before that she wants to move out and build a house. It's not a big deal. Just a room will be enough for her to eat and live in."
So that's what happened.
Lu Weimin thought Cheng Yunan would ask him to switch to an easier job.
After all, there are only a few easy jobs in the village, and it would be difficult to replace anyone.
If any bad rumors spread again, he, as the village chief, would not be able to escape responsibility.
Building a house was a good thing. She moved out and created a vacant space. After the autumn harvest, the educated youth who came here would also have a place to live, and the village would not need to provide any more houses.
Besides, building a one-room house is not a big deal.
"Okay, then do you want to find someone to build it yourself? Or do you want to directly use people from the village?" Lu Weimin asked.
"Of course we have to hire someone from our village. You are a member of Lujia Village. People in our village will definitely not cheat their own family. If we hire someone from another village, I will not feel at ease!"
Lu Weimin was particularly satisfied.
Moreover, Cheng Yunan's words "we are one family" brought her closer to the villagers.
No wonder the old woman praised Cheng Zhiqing so highly when she came back. Whoever heard this would feel comfortable.
"So, village chief, how much does it cost to build a house like the one you mentioned?"
"This is not expensive. The village has its own adobe bricks. If each family buys a little, the wood team will approve it for you and you can use it in the back mountain. The villagers don't need to pay for the work, and each person will be provided with two meals.
However, if you want to make a kang, you can spend some money to buy green bricks, which are more durable. As for commonly used furniture such as tables, chairs and benches, it is easy to make. Uncle Tao in our village can make them, and his three sons are all good at carpentry. If you want to order one, it can be done in about one day.
However, if you come out, you have to buy all the pots and pans, which are the big expenses. You have to go to the town or city to buy them, and you also need a business license, so all together, it will cost at least a hundred yuan."
Although a hundred bucks may not seem like a lot, you can marry several wives here.
After all, some families only offer a dozen or twenty yuan as a dowry, or even a bag of food to buy a wife.
"Well, Uncle Village Chief, I want to move out. After the wheat harvest, please discuss building a house with the villagers.
But I don’t care about the food. The main thing is that there is only one big iron pot in our educated youth camp, and it has been occupied. The educated youth will definitely have opinions, so I plan to pay for it. How much money do I want to give? How much money does it cost to build a house? I need to know this first. "
Otherwise, if she gets a few lazy people who want to make money without working, she will suffer a lot.
"That's easy. An ordinary house takes at most five or six days to build, and a full house costs only 15 to 20 cents. Thirty cents is not a small amount.
And don't worry, when I find someone for you, I will definitely find someone who is hardworking and willing to work hard."
Cheng Yunan nodded, "Okay, I'll trouble the village chief now."
The two talked about some details, and then Ma Xiulian tried her best to keep Cheng Yunan at home for dinner.
Cheng Yunan tried to refuse but finally nodded in agreement.
At the dinner table, Ma Xiu Lian kept helping her pick up food, and Cheng Yunan was overwhelmed by Aunt Lu's enthusiasm.
Lu Xiaohe sat next to Cheng Yunan and obediently picked up food for her. "Sister, although the food mom cooks is not very good, you are so thin, so eat more!"
Li Hongmei hit Lu Xiaohe's hand with a chopstick, leaving a red mark.
Lu Xiaohe screamed in pain, and the chopsticks in his hand immediately fell under the table.
Tears fell instantly, "Mom, why did you hit my hand?"
"Eat your food. Don't other people have hands? Why should you be so attentive to a stranger?
You are a traitor. If you don't like the food cooked by me, don't eat it anymore!" Li Hongmei said sarcastically.
Cheng Yunan's expression was a little stiff: Didn't she have a grudge against Li Hongmei?
"Li Hongmei, even eating is not enough to stop you from talking. You can eat it or not. If you dare to hit Xiaohe again, get out of here and go back to your room." Ma Xiulian's face turned cold.
She was thinking about mentioning the matter of the third child to Cheng Zhiqing later. If Li Hongmei interfered, and Cheng Zhiqing was left with the impression of a vicious sister-in-law and a wicked mother-in-law, would he still be willing to look at the third child? Would he still dare to marry into the family?
The more Ma Xiu Lian thought about it, the more she wanted to kick Li Hongmei out.
"Mom, you can't be so partial. 놖 is your biological daughter-in-law. Cheng Zhiqing hasn't agreed to date the third son yet. It's useless for you to try to curry favor with her."
Cheng Yunan: What kind of target?
Ma Xiulian had already picked up the chopsticks and hit Li Hongmei with it. As the second son of the Lu family, Lu Jianguo quickly pushed his wife back to the room and locked her inside.
Despite this, Lu Jianguo also took two hits with chopsticks for his wife.
