Chapter 184 You think you are so funny, everyone is laughing at you
When Jiang Huai came back from get off work in the middle of the night, Xue Shuzhen told him about Zhou Yun's thoughts.
"Let's buy the land next door and expand the house. Then the whole family can be together and have a lot of fun together. We'll have help with everything we do."
"It's always worrying for the two of them to live outside."
Jiang Huai thought about it and it made sense.
But he didn't agree to expand the house.
"Our house has only been built for less than ten years. Why do we need to tear it down and rebuild it?"
"I didn't say tear it down and rebuild it. I said tear down the wall and enclose the land next door."
"No, no, if we tear down the wall, what will we do with the foundation? You say that's not possible. If it were me, I'd just build another village next door."
"When Leilei grows up, he'll have to get married. Our family will have to separate sooner or later. It's always inconvenient to live together."
“Especially in the summer, it’s inconvenient to take a shower. It would be better to build another two-story house next door.
We can also build another floor on this old house, and then whoever wants to leave can leave."
"We're next to each other anyway, so there's no difference between living away from home and living together."
Xue Shuzhen thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes, it's fine if you say so. Children will eventually grow up, and Leilei will have to get married in the future. We will have to separate sooner or later."
"Then I'll go to the team tomorrow and open a ticket?"
"Well, go ahead and build the house soon so Jinzhou can get married soon. Then we won't have anything to worry about for the rest of our lives."
The two of them agreed, and the next day Xue Shuzhen went to the team to get a note and apply for a land certificate.
Without asking Jiang Jinzhou's consent, he went to the town to withdraw the money and started construction.
Liang family
The sweet potato seedlings have sprouted, and Liu Guizhi wants to plant sweet potatoes in large quantities.
Liu Guizhi greeted Liang Xiulan as soon as she got up in the morning and asked her to talk to her two aunts when she went to Lin County to deliver the goods.
Ask her uncle and cousins to come and help when they are free, and they will be paid by the day.
She repeatedly emphasized to Liang Jianguo that he only needed to help with the new farm, and she would find someone to take care of the sweet potato planting.
But Liang Jianguo refused to listen and insisted on turning the soil.
He was turning the soil while muttering.
"I have to build a house and plant sweet potatoes. What good will it do you if I work myself to death? Even a cow would die sooner or later if it were exploited like this by you."
Seeing that he was mumbling like a woman, Liu Guizhi picked up the hoe in her hand and strode towards him.
"Who asked you to come? Did I say you were asked to come?"
"Didn't I tell you long ago that you should just go build a house? What are you doing here?"
"You insisted on coming here, so who are you babbling about this to? If you don't want to do it, just leave!"
Liang Jianguo pounded the ground with his hoe and said with his neck stiff, "I'm the man of the family. How can I let you do this kind of work alone?"
"If anyone tells this, I'll be laughed to death!"
Liu Guizhi pinched her waist and said, "I don't understand. What's so funny about this? You are not sitting idle at home doing nothing. You obviously have something serious to do. Why do you have to squeeze into the fields?
Besides, why would someone come to laugh at you when they are full?"
"Why are you so proud? Do you think you're so funny that everyone is laughing at you?"
"It's just a small job. I've already found someone. If you're willing to do it, do it. If not, get out! Stop whining here!"
"My brother will be here soon, so you better put away your face! You're not even being welcome at work!"
After Liu Guizhi finished speaking, she glared at him, then went back to pick up her own hoe and started plowing the soil.
Liang Jianguo looked at his wife's back with hatred, feeling furious.
If all her brothers-in-law came and saw her, a woman, tilling the soil, who knows how they would stab her in the back.
Even if he doesn't want to, he has to do it here!
At around ten o'clock in the morning, people from the Liu family came, five strong laborers, and they all went down to the pit.
"Guizhi..."
"Aunt..."
"sister……"
He started shouting from a distance.
Liu Guizhi quickly turned around and looked back, waving at them: "Here..."
Liang Jianguo stopped the hoe in his hand, waited for them to come over, and handed them cigarettes one by one with a smile.
"Oh... Guizhi insisted on planting so much land, disturbing everyone and making them come. I'm so embarrassed."
Liu Shuisheng took the cigarette he handed over, lit it with a match, took a puff and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's all my own work."
Liu Dayou also took the cigarette he handed over and said, "That's right! If my aunt can make a lot of money from sweet potatoes, I'm willing to grow sweet potatoes for her every year!"
Liang Jianguo politely lit his cigarette and held out his hand to block the wind: "Eh? Isn't Dayou at work? Why did you ask for leave?"
Liu Dayou chuckled, "Lanlan said that she pays more than what I earn at the factory. What's wrong with taking a day or two off to earn some extra money? Does my uncle think I'm redundant?"
"No, no, no, why would I think that? Everyone coming here is a great help to me."
Liu Musheng lowered his head and looked at the ground while saying, "What's the use of money? We are all family. It's only natural for us to help each other. Stop the bullshit!"
Everyone came with tools, and Liu Musheng picked up a hoe and dug some soil.
"Wasn't this field planted last year?"
“No, I was originally planning to grow wheat, but Xiulan asked me to prepare the carts and containers.
I missed the farming season, and the land lay idle for the entire winter. Then, in the spring, I started building a house and didn’t have time to take care of it.”
Liu Shuisheng flicked off his cigarette ash and scraped the ground with his shoe: "It's okay, there's no need to delay. Sweet potatoes are easy to grow."
As he was speaking, Liu Guizhi had already walked over from the other end of the field.
After chatting for about ten minutes, everyone started to work hard.
It was not until twelve o'clock noon that everyone returned from the fields.
Liang Xiulan bought some cigarettes, alcohol and cold dishes on the street and placed them in the yard. Seeing that everyone had returned, she hurriedly arranged for them to wash their hands.
"Uncle, uncle number one, uncle number two, uncle number five, brother number one, brother number two... you've worked so hard. The hot water is ready. Let's take a shower first."
After inviting everyone in, she poured tea for them.
Liu Shuisheng joked: "Lanlan has really grown up and is very thoughtful."
"Yes, you are becoming more and more like a boss.
Speaking of this, I have to thank Lanlan. Since your aunt opened a shop, she has something to do and has no time to find fault with me when she comes home.
Liu Dayou didn't wait for the words to fall, and quickly continued.
"Of course, she's busy counting money! My mom's been in a good mood lately, and she even gives me pocket money whenever she wants."
“Hahahahahaha…”
The family was happy and harmonious, except Liang Jianguo who couldn't fit in.
Because deep down, he always regarded these uncles as guests, not family members.
After dinner and some drinks, Liu Guizhi emphasized this again to Liang Jianguo in front of several of her relatives.
"Go and look after the new farm this afternoon and make sure no one does anything bad to it. My brothers and the others are taking care of the farm affairs, so don't worry about them."
Liang Jianguo pursed his lips and smiled, "That won't work. My brothers are busy working in the fields, so how can I not go?"
Liu Shuisheng slapped his thigh. "Oh...after all these years, why are you still so distant? Am I an outsider?"
"Just worry about the farm work. The real work is to build the house properly."
Since his brother-in-law said so, he quickly took the opportunity to back down.
"Okay then...thank you for your hard work."
"What are you talking about? It doesn't matter whether it's hard or not. It's all my job!"
