The young couple discussed their plans for the New Year, and then Shi Zhentang called back to persuade the old lady.
Unexpectedly, the old lady did not resist at all. She was a worldly-wise young lady in her early years.
I joked on the phone: "You think I, an old man, have never been on a train? Fine, I'll listen to you. We'll spend the New Year in your new home."
"Grandma, talk to my uncle."
"Okay, okay. Besides, I've thought about it. Our baby is still young. It's not appropriate for you to take two kids on the train for so many days. We should go. It just so happens that you want to go out for a walk."
"Bring my elder brother and sister-in-law with them..."
"Okay, okay, got it!"
The old lady hung up the phone and turned around and excitedly said to the village party secretary: "Zhentang asked our whole family to go to the military region to celebrate the New Year this year."
"Oh, Auntie, that's so beautiful. You can go out and enjoy the mountains and rivers." The village party secretary was also envious. They had been staying in the small mountain village all their lives and they were eager to have somewhere to go.
Su Zhen, who was accompanying me on the phone, was surprised: "Grandma, we are going too?"
"Of course, no one in our family will be left out..."
But!
There are some things the old lady didn't say directly.
On the way home, she told Su Zhen, "Let Yang Dahua look after Xiaoli at home. Xiaoli can't go far away anyway. And your father-in-law, if he wants to go, he can go. If he doesn't want to go, forget it."
Su Zhen nodded: "The third brother will definitely be happy."
The old lady said with a smile: "This kid has been thinking about going to see his second brother all day long. He must be very happy to hear this news. By the way, ask Weimin to tell Uncle Tao to go too."
"Well, let Weimin tell Uncle Tao tonight."
The family suddenly received such great news, and Shi Weiqiang was so excited that he couldn't sit still: "Dad, I can finally go find my second brother."
Yang Dahua, who was sitting on the kang sewing, didn't say a word.
Shi De, who was smoking a pipe, rolled his eyes and said, "Look at your useless energy. Haven't you been there once?"
"I'd be happy to go as many times as I want. Besides, my second sister-in-law and second brother bought a new house in the county town. I heard it's very big. It used to be the house of a wealthy family."
Shi Weiqiang didn't know exactly how big it was, but he stretched out his arms and drew a big circle: "By the way, Dad, are you going?"
Shi De smoked a cigarette and said, "No."
"real?"
"What's true or false? I'm not going."
He also wanted to go out and see the world, but he was too embarrassed to do so.
Not to mention Yang Dahua. Before she even opened her mouth, Shi Weiqiang said, "Mom, don't go. Otherwise, your second sister-in-law will be unhappy when she sees you."
Yang Dahua choked and said, "You are such a good son. You really think about Tian Yuzhu."
But now she no longer fights or competes, and she has the same idea as Shi De. She is too embarrassed to see Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang and is too embarrassed to go.
As for Shi Xiaoli, her belly was getting bigger day by day, and she was about to give birth.
What's more important is that although she is calm and doesn't make trouble, she still has moments of mental confusion, so I don't dare to take her out at all.
On the other hand, Uncle Tao heard that the old lady asked him to go on a long journey to Shi Zhentang's new home.
He was stunned for a while: "Weimin, are you kidding?"
Shi Weimin said cheerfully, "Uncle, how could I joke with you about this? Grandma told you that you might refuse. She asked you if you wanted to see your uncle. If you do, you must go. Who knows, this will be the only chance in your life!"
Uncle Tao's expression brightened...
The image of the young master in his youth, handsome, mighty and full of vigor and vitality, emerged in his mind.
They are superiors and subordinates, comrades-in-arms, and brothers.
Thinking of the life-and-death friendship, Uncle Tao nodded with tears in his eyes: "Okay, I'll go."
Since he agreed to go, the next thing Uncle Tao would pick up would be his own clothes.
He planned to take all the nice clothes in his home to Old Shi's house tomorrow and ask the old lady to take a look and decide which one would suit him best.
As for the Shi family, Su Zhen was also thinking about it in her mind.
I have to bring something for Tian Yuzhu and her husband.
Oh, and since she just had a baby, eggs are a must, along with rice, pasta, wild flowers picked and dried in the spring, and wild mushrooms picked and dried in the mountains in June and July...
There are so many things I want to bring, and the more I think about it, the more excited I get.
As for Chengcheng and Doudou, they were not told for the time being.
The little brats can't keep track of things. If they knew about this, they would probably count the days on their fingers every day and wouldn't study well.
Everyone back home has their own plans.
At the military district, Tian Yuzhu worked quickly to find someone to start the renovation.
Originally, the carpenter found a colleague for her, but she felt that was not enough and asked for two more, making a total of four carpenters.
Rushing every day.
Tian Yuzhu was worried, so she took her two children and Zhang Zimei and moved to the county guesthouse.
Two rooms, one dollar a night.
Good girl, she scared the hotel staff so much that they could only guess her identity.
An ordinary person actually booked a room for a whole month at a time. He must be really rich!
Since we are staying in a guesthouse, we cannot cook our own food.
Tian Yuzhu asked Zhang Zimei to get food from the People's Canteen every day.
After three days of fighting, Zhang Zimei took the initiative to buy a set of pots, pans, and utensils.
Although the house is being renovated, he is not working on the three-in-three-outlet house at the same time. The inner and outer courtyards have to be renovated one by one, and the kitchen is the last place to be installed.
Zhang Zimei spent three hours cleaning up the kitchen.
They lit the coal stove and set up the pot to cook and fry dishes, quickly bringing the air of home into the house.
In this way, Tian Yuzhu can eat nutritious meals.
Tian Yuzhu was also shocked when she saw the well-prepared kitchen: "Aunt Zhang, you are so lucky to be my husband."
Zhang Zimei just smiled gently: "I like doing these things. Besides, the food in the cafeteria is too monotonous. Eating only the same two things all day is not nutritious. Also, I like cleanliness, and what I cook is clean."
Well, where can I find such a good aunt?
Not only did Tian Yuzhu like her more and more, even the carpenters liked Aunt Zhang more and more.
Watching her busying around, I couldn't help but talk to her, and after a while we became familiar with each other.
Aunt Zhang also got Tian Yuzhu's consent and cooked meals for the carpenters every day.
However, the carpenters’ meals were not as exquisite as Tian Yuzhu’s.
The carpenters are also kind people. They know that it is not easy for them to get this job, and the employer still provides them with food.
So in my spare time, I used scrap wood to make toys for the two babies.
I made several things, such as rattles, carts, and wooden monkeys.
In addition to the carpentry work, the plumbing and electrical work will also have to start in the decoration process. Tian Yuzhu plans to ask someone about it.
She doesn't know anyone in the county, the only person she knows has a lot of connections.
She only thought of one person...Gu Dagang, the buyer who entertained all the buyers.
