Chapter 162: Renovating the House and Farming



After eating the meat patties and sugar cakes they brought back from the city and drinking a big bowl of fried rice tea, the young men insisted on following Meng Sheng to go out of the mountain to pull bricks and tiles.

It’s such a big and thick leg, and I can see and touch it. If I don’t hug it now, when will I?

Meng Sheng needed help with many things later on, and he didn't mind that these friends had been avoiding him for more than half a year.

He went out with a few good friends, arm in arm, and drove out of the village.

When living in this world, one should not be too serious. No matter whether it is relatives or friends, there are not so many people who are wholeheartedly good to them.

However, the world is bustling with people because of profit, and the world is bustling with people because of profit.

Meng Shengduo has lived for decades and has long understood this truth.

After Feng Yijia finished preparing snacks, she started preparing dinner.

If someone does work, no matter what else, according to the village custom, they must be provided with a meal first, otherwise they will be scolded to death.

Wash and cook the bacon and sausage, cut some fresh pork brought back from the city today, and stew it with sauerkraut.

Fry some peanuts and stir-fry some green vegetables, and dinner is almost ready.

Cook the porridge over high heat and stew the meat over low heat. By the time dinner is ready, Meng Sheng has almost brought back all the bricks and tiles.

After everyone had a quick wash, they sat together to have dinner.

We drank and recounted the ugly things we had done together when we climbed mountains and went down rivers, and the meal was full of laughter and enthusiasm.

The atmosphere was lively and the relationship became closer.

Meng Sheng also gave each of his friends two bottles of good wine and two packs of good cigarettes to thank them for their help today. He also asked them to help with the subsequent things such as repairing the house and planting medicinal herbs at home.

Of course, it’s not free. I’ll pay each person two dollars a day.

Suddenly, Meng Sheng's name changed from Meng Lao Er and Sheng Wazi to Meng Ge.

Feng Yijia, who was sitting on the side listening to their chat, naturally became the sister-in-law in everyone's eyes.

With wine, meat and friends, the young people partied until midnight before going home.

The next morning, the Meng family yard became lively again.

Despite being drunk yesterday, Meng Changgen, Meng Changmao, Feng Lin, Chen Xiaoshan and others brought their families to work early in the morning.

After all, there are not many opportunities to make money at home. With several people in a family and more than ten yuan a day, you have to be proactive.

There were more than 20 people from four families. The men laid tiles and floors in several rooms, while the women passed bricks and tiles and helped with cooking. The group of people worked hard for two days and renovated the houses.

The next step was to plant medicinal herbs. Seeing that several families had made money, some people in the village came forward to offer their services.

So, thanks to Meng Sheng's financial ability, more than 100 acres of Ophiopogon japonicus and Anemarrhena asphodeloides seeds were planted in the land soaked by snow water in just three or four days.

Then he spent another ten days loosening the soil and applying fertilizer to the mulberry and plum trees on the mountain that had survived the winter.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, time flew by and we entered early February.

The withered winter scene in the mountains began to be replaced by lush grass and singing birds.

Under the gradually warming sunshine, grass sprouts out of the ground, new buds sprout from branches, wild flowers begin to bloom, and butterflies and bees dance gracefully.

Mengjia Village welcomed the most beautiful spring of the year, and also ushered in the busy spring plowing.

Plowing, digging, building ridges, raising seedlings, making nests, planting seeds, and applying fertilizers are not easy jobs.

After all, he was a hidden rich man, so Meng Sheng never thought about cultivating the land at home himself.

The most important thing is that I am exhausted every day, so how can I have the energy to accompany my wife?

After observing for half a month, he went to the city to seek his parents' opinions and decisively contracted all the land to Meng Changgen's family, who worked the most honestly and had the most laborers in the family.

Therefore, when everyone in the village was busy, Meng Sheng and Feng Yijia had some free time.

Every day he is either obsessed with the major issue of human reproduction, or studying eating and drinking to satisfy his appetite. Occasionally, when he is free, he goes up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, medicinal herbs, and hunt.

Life is extremely comfortable and enjoyable.

That day, the couple got up early, packed up, drove into the city, and returned to the village in the afternoon. They took the candies and snacks they had just bought and went to Feng Chunhua's house.

Feng Chunhua's husband, Chen Wenman, is about to finish his two-month home leave.

Tomorrow is the day their family leaves the village to join the army.

When Feng Yijia was just reborn, he received a lot of help from his distant cousin Feng Chunhua. Now, no matter what, he has to send her a parting gift.

Meng Jiefang died, and Chen Wenman, as the most promising man among the younger generation in Mengjia Village, had to take his family to join the army. Many people from the village came to give him gifts.

The young couple could hear the noisy noise from a distance while carrying their things.

When I approached the gate, I looked out.

Oh, such a big farmyard, with people standing crowded everywhere.

When I listened to everyone's chatter, they were either praising the crispness, tenderness and cleanness of their homemade dried vegetables, or praising the deliciousness of their pickled salted duck eggs.

I hope that Chen Wenman and Feng Chunhua will help the younger generation in their family out of consideration for these sincere gifts and the friendship between fellow villagers.

Send boys to the army and introduce girls to a reliable and promising soldier.

Or if there are suitable jobs, you can consider them more.

Chen Wenman, who was in the center of the crowd, was obviously not able to adapt to the enthusiasm of these villagers. He lowered his head and had a stiff face to coax the child. When his name was called, he only responded with a few "hmm"s.

Feng Chunhua, who has always been eloquent in the village, had to deal with one thing after another, and her face was almost twitching.

When he looked up and saw Meng Sheng and his wife at the door, he immediately greeted them as if he had seen a savior, "Yijia and Meng Sheng are here.

Come in and sit down. I was going to borrow your car later.
