Walk 500 meters north along the west side of the shoe factory and you will reach the Inna River, where there is a stone dam and a water pumping station.
Because the river coming from behind the mountain makes a big turn here and constantly washes away the embankment, there was a stone dam at this bend in the early years. However, the stone dam has now been washed away by the river, leaving only scattered stones on the river bank.
In summer, this place becomes a place where women wash clothes.
Li Erman and Jiang Wen first met on these stones.
This is also the place where the water is deepest behind the mountain and the depression, and the adults almost all swim and bathe here.
However, Wan Feng was determined not to take a bath or swim here. With his swimming ability, he would probably sink to the bottom here, and he was afraid of drowning.
"I want to take a bath in the river. I haven't had a bath in a long time because I've been busy these days."
The two of them had been sitting here for less than five minutes when Luan Feng made this suggestion.
When she said that, Wan Feng also felt sticky. He had been on the bus for three days and hadn't had time to take a shower when he got home, so he should take a shower too.
"I don't dare to go in the water here. If I want to take a bath, I'd better go to Laodaokou. The water there is shallow."
"Then let's go to the north bank of the river to wash. There is no one on the north bank of the river." Luan Feng's eyes were bright in the dark night.
This was a good suggestion. Wan Feng thought that it would not be difficult to wade across the river from Laodaokou at night, so he nodded in agreement.
The two of them turned back to the east end. Wan Feng went home to get soap, towels and other things and then came to the old trail entrance.
Hand in hand, they waded across the river, the water barely reaching their calves.
There is no village to the west of the north bank of the river. The nearest Sunbaozi is at least four miles away to the north, and the rubber dam is five or six hundred meters away to the east.
There are corn fields between Sunbuzi and the north bank of the river. Not only would no one come to such a place in the dark, but there are also few people coming here even during the day.
Therefore, the north bank of the river is the safest at night.
Unless there is a ghost.
There was no dark moon in the sky, so there was no need to worry about anyone feasting their eyes.
Luan Feng was still hesitant and planned to go down to the river to take a bath with her clothes on.
Wan Feng completely returned to nature and went into the water naked.
He rubbed out curls of dirt on his arms and chest, but he was at a loss as to what to do with his back.
"Come here and rub my back."
Wan Feng came over hesitantly, and when his hand touched his back, Wan Feng's body trembled.
Luan Feng's hands were very soft. Why was this woman breathing so rapidly while rubbing his back? Her rapid breathing infected Wan Feng and his body trembled.
As Luan Feng's hand moved, Wan Feng's shivering became more and more frequent. After shivering a few times, he simply gave up taking a bath and decided to do something romantic first.
In the dark night, Luan Feng let out a muffled scream by the river...
It’s a pity that Luan Feng’s temperature was not taken, but the thermometer... was a hammer, but Luan Feng polished it until it was shiny.
Feeling relaxed after taking a shower, the two held hands and walked back to the south bank of the river towards home.
When passing by grandma's house, Wan Feng put the towel and soap on the wall and sent Luan Feng home.
Those who were staying at Luan Feng's house had already returned and were now sewing clothes in the workshop.
Outside the workshop, there were several flower protectors sitting in Luan Feng's yard chatting.
Yang Qilang, Jiang Wen, Yuan Zhuzi, Jiang Xishui, and two people whose nicknames Wan Feng only knew but not their names.
It seems that these two people also have a target, but I don’t know which two girls they are.
There are as many as seven unattached girls in Luan Feng's village. In addition to the three relatives of Yan Shufang from Sunbaozi who were sent here, the other two are from Liang Hongying's village, and the other two are new arrivals.
During the half month that Wan Feng was away, some changes had occurred in Wahou.
For example, Yang Qilang and Jiang Wen are engaged, and Yuan Zhuzi and Jiang Xishui will probably be engaged soon too.
"You guys have such bad consciences that you deliberately arranged an engagement while I was away. On your wedding day, I'm going to fill a basin with soybeans and make Gu Qiaoling and Li Erman grope until dawn."
Yang Qilang and Jiang Wen secretly groaned when they heard this. Of course they knew what the soybeans were used for. By then, this guy would stuff their clothes with soybeans from top to bottom, and their brides would have to use their mouths to find them one by one, and they might not be able to find them all by dawn!
Yuan Zhuzi and Jiang Xishui started to light the fire even though they were not engaged: "Yes, yes! That's what my nephew will do when the time comes. It will make these two guys anxious to death."
Seeing Yang Qilang and Jiang Wen’s faces turned pale with fear, Wan Feng burst into laughter.
"How much does your grandpa's house sell for?" Jiang Wen asked.
"You want to buy it?"
"Er Man and I are planning to get married this winter. We plan to buy a house to live in first and then build a new house in a few years."
"You'll have to ask my uncle about this. I don't think it's too expensive, no more than two hundred. Ask him tomorrow."
"Your uncle said that you paid for the new house, and you have the final say on the old house. He asked me to ask you."
Wan Feng scratched his head, but that was the truth.
Now it costs at least three hundred yuan to build an old-style small house.
Building a house like the one Zhang Xian and Wan Feng's aunt built would cost at least 500 yuan, so an old house is only worth half the price of a new one.
"Then let's make it one hundred and sixty yuan. That's all the money we have. Go back and discuss it with your father..."
"No need to discuss. If it's one hundred and sixty, I'll come over and give you the money tomorrow."
Grandma Wanfeng's house is only six or seven years old. It's no problem to live there for another ten years. One hundred and sixty is really not expensive.
"Our new house won't be finished until October at the latest. We'll move out when we do. Don't rush it, it's useless."
"That's natural."
Wan Feng's gaze fell on Yang Qilang: "You can't get married this year. At the very least, you have to wait until Gu Qiaoling turns 18, which is next year. What are you going to do?"
Yang Qillang is the youngest in the family. He and his sixth brother are the only ones who are not married yet. It is said that his sixth brother and Liang Wan’s sister-in-law Qiuyue will get married this winter.
This seems to be something that Wan Feng decided during the more than half a month since he returned home.
"My sixth brother's family didn't take a cent of the money he earned at the brick and tile factory last year, and they won't take a cent of his earnings this year either. This money is for my sixth brother to build a house and get married. He bought the old house of Shen Xilai's family and plans to live there after they get married and renovate it in two years."
A first-class laborer like Yang Liulang earned 180 yuan at the brick and tile factory at the end of last year, and this year he is expected to earn around 300 yuan. If he only builds three rooms, then that is enough to buy a house and get married.
You can buy an old house to live in first and then renovate it later.
"So you plan to live in your old house?" Yang Qilang will live with his parents. There are four old houses in his family that are right in front of him.
"I promised Qiaoling that I would live in a new house. Next summer I will tear down the old house and renovate it. I will fill in my landlord's house and renovate it into four large tiled houses."
Good!
I'm afraid that in the next two years after the depression, there will be a wave of building new houses or renovating old houses.
