Chapter 157, Start Renovating the New House
In the kitchen, He Anze came to his wife for comfort.
It's his fault for being beaten by his grandma.
"You deserve it." Unexpectedly, he was hurt by his wife as soon as he entered the door.
"Don't you see who I'm doing this for?" He Anze muttered, "If you weren't too bored at home, would I have agreed to them?"
Hearing this, Mei Xue was happy, "Really?" Her grandmother must be worried about her going up the mountain alone.
But grandma would agree if I were to be with He Anze.
But grandma still worries.
"Is it possible for me to lie to you and give you candy?" He Anze touched the place where he was hit, it was burning with pain.
"There's no candy. Even if there was, I wouldn't give you any. They all belong to grandma." Mei Xue responded very naturally.
Now He Anze really became autistic.
"But are we really going up the mountain tomorrow?" Mei Xue still wanted to go out for a walk.
It's so boring to stay at home every day. It would be great to go up the mountain where there is food, drink and fun.
"Of course, but they want to go fishing, you say..." There was no need to say more, both of them understood.
Mei Xue shook her head. "Probably not. The road Xiao Bai took was a different one. No one had ever walked on it before."
What the two of them didn't know was that when Xiaobai came back, he used the spiritual spring water in the space, which directly made the plants they had crushed grow wildly and full.
Even if they go there in person now, they may not be able to find it again.
Unfortunately, Xiaobai has been holding a grudge against Meixue for abandoning him last time, and hasn’t told Meixue about it yet.
Every day he just lies in the firebox, sleeps after eating, and eats after waking up. He is more leisurely than a pig.
She is spoiled by her grandma every day, which makes Mei Xue envious.
"We have to be on guard against that, but we also have to repair our house quickly and move everything back when the time comes. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable leaving it on the mountain." He Anze said seriously.
"Where should I put it after moving it back?" Where can I hide things at home?
My grandma is very smart. It would be strange if she didn’t notice so many things being moved back. If she says she found them on the mountain, she will have to go and worship the mountain god.
No, grandma must not know about this, not to mention that this is the treasure of that rich family.
"It's okay. I'll dig a tunnel in our house and you have to keep this a secret." He Anze thought of the events in the movies he had seen.
Best to hide under the bed.
"Will this work?" Mei Xue was still skeptical. If possible, she would like to hide everything in the space, but unfortunately she couldn't.
"We have to try it whether we can." With so many gold bars, their family won't have to worry about anything in their lifetime.
The next generation will have no shortage of money to spend.
"Well, it's up to you. I'll dig it myself when you're not home. There's no rush anyway."
The couple cooked while chatting.
Soon dinner was ready when it got dark. There were lights in every room of the house, and Meixue's wattage was high, so it was the same as during the day.
"Come and have dinner, it's warm in the kitchen." Since we are all family, there is no need to eat in the main room.
Not only was it cold, but he was also too lazy to clear the table.
"Hey, we're here." Li Fei and Fang Kai had already taken off their shoes and went to the firebox to chat with grandma.
As soon as they heard about eating, their stomachs started growling.
You know what, this smells so good.
At the dinner table, Grandma He told Mei Xue about He Yunhong, and also told him that it was the letter from An Cheng and An Shan.
So that Mei Xue can have an idea in her mind.
"It's okay, just come. I can't teach anyway. I don't owe him anything, and I don't need that little money." Mei Xue said indifferently.
Li Fei and Fang Kai had already started drinking, and the three of them were drinking happily.
Plus the food smelled delicious, they felt that the food at Brother He’s house was better than that at the restaurants in the county town.
They have never eaten in the provincial capital, so they don’t know what the difference is.
But they trust their sister-in-law's craftsmanship more.
"That's true, but I'm afraid that you will be soft-hearted again and help your Aunt Zhengting again." Grandma He said worriedly.
Mei Xue was speechless. Did she look so kind?
"Grandma, you think too much. If I wanted to help them, I would have done it a long time ago. Why would I have to wait until now? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this trouble."
If it weren't for grandma, An Liang and the others would have no chance.
She is a selfish person.
"Oh, grandma, you are just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. Forget it, let's eat quickly and don't think about it. Leave it to me when the time comes." He doesn't need to worry about family affection.
When his family was in financial difficulty, Yunhong never gave them a handful of rice or a piece of firewood.
Now you want to take advantage of me, haha, no way, no, there is no window.
"Okay, then. I'll leave it to you." Upon hearing He Anze's words, Grandma He and Mei Xue responded in unison.
This made Li Fei and Fang Kaile very angry.
Renovating the house is a big deal, so even before the end of the first month of the year, He Anze, Yang Fei and Fang Kai started working on it.
He first collected wood in the village and sent out a notice asking anyone who had extra wood to bring it to him and he would buy it.
This matter also got the support of Grandma He, and it couldn't be a better buy.
After Li Fei and Fang Kai learned that a small wooden building was going to be built, they asked why they didn't build a brick house. Mei Xue said it didn't look good.
She prefers wooden houses.
There is no danger here, why use those bricks to build the house?
After all, it was at the foot of the mountain, and the amount of wood was not limited. In addition, every household had no plans to repair their houses, so there was not much dry wood left.
So He Anze rented An Cheng's carriage and took Li Fei and others to the mountain team to collect wood.
It took seven or eight days to complete this matter.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone starts to get busy.
Things like hiring carpenters, burning paper to worship gods, etc. began to happen.
The one who had the most idle time was Mei Xue. Grandma He had to deal with those who came to congratulate her, and she had nothing to do except preparing some melon seeds and peanuts to entertain the guests.
Just put these things on a larger plate and put them there.
As for water, it’s even simpler. Who would make tea for visitors nowadays? It’s not such a good treatment.
Grandma He couldn't bear to give away the sweetened water, so if you wanted to drink the boiled water in the kettle, you could pour it out yourself.
We hired some strong laborers from the village to do the work. Since they were all from the same village, they didn't have to eat lunch at home. The only thing they were paid was a higher daily wage.
This is a very good thing to do in the countryside. When Mei Xue had nothing to do, she took Xiao Bai and started her journey through the mountains.
At this time, grandma had no time to care where Mei Xue went.
I don’t know if it was because of Aunt Zhengting, but Yunhong didn’t come to the house in the end.
However, when Hongmei was leaving, she came over to say hello. Grandma He was not stingy and gave her a piece of her own bacon.
No matter how much she disliked it, the other person had come and taken so many things, so she should at least give him some gift in return when he left.
Of course, Comrade Lixia did not receive such good treatment, because she left early and did not come home to tell us.
Mainly because the red envelope given was big enough, Lixia didn't feel comfortable visiting again. She thought about buying some delicious food for her third grandmother next time she came back.
