"Jingzhi, the house is basically built. What's left is some fine work. In a week at most, the house will be ready for people to live in after it's aired out." An Kangtai raised the corner of his mouth.
If it weren't for the work of scraping porcelain powder and laying floor tiles, it wouldn't have taken so long.
Floor tiles, those are things that only exist in movies. I didn’t expect that their family actually used them in advance. Even in the city, there are not many families that use floor tiles. It is considered a sophisticated family if they can smooth the floor with cement.
"Thank you, brother and dad, for your hard work during this period."
An Kangtai said: "Why is it hard? This is what should be done. If there is any hardship, it is you, Jingzhi, who is doing the hard work."
"You know I haven't read much and don't know much. Fortunately, Ruyu is a child who can read. He can help you a little, and I'm happy for him."
"If you need anything done, just tell her to do it. Don't be polite." An Jingzhi smiled without saying anything.
Don't worry, big brother, I'm already at your service.
Zhang Weifen asked several old sisters from the village to help cook the meals at the construction site, and also cooked meals for the family at the same time, so there was no need to cook separately at home.
An Jingzhi sent An Qingxin out to get food. She placed several dishes that she had prepared in advance in the living room of the old house, and the specially cooked potato chicken was placed in front of An Jingzhi.
Even though the family has no shortage of food and drink, Zhang Weifen still subconsciously puts the best things in front of her son.
Chen Youzhen asked about An Yuru's situation in the county town.
An Jingzhi praised An Yuru's performance and felt that Chen Youzhen and her husband felt embarrassed.
Chen Youzhen has always known that her daughter is a child with strong opinions. Her academic performance is much better than that of other people in the village and she is among the top students in her class.
But no matter how powerful she is, she is only powerful in their small place. Her brother-in-law is a big boss in Hong Kong Island. She is not sure whether her daughter's ability can help her brother-in-law.
"It's not that great, I'm glad I can help you."
Of course I can help, An Jingzhi smiled.
An Yuru helped him to keep everything in order, and once the telephone line was connected, he would be able to better use his niece.
I glanced at An Qingxin who was busy eating after coming back from dinner. His niece couldn't be busy alone. As a nephew, shouldn't he also be filial to his uncle?
But it seems that this nephew is really a big guy who is good at doing things recklessly, and his only advantage is that he is obedient.
Zhang Weifen looked at the uncle and nephew and remembered something.
"Jingzhi, Qingxin will set a date in a few days. Once the house is habitable, the couple will move in."
"Qingxin's partner is Li Xiaoxia, the daughter of Captain Li Shoucai. She's a good girl and has been secretly helping our family for years."
Zhang Weifen briefly introduced how Li Xiaoxia and An Qingxin have been getting along in recent years.
In the past, he was afraid of being a burden to the girl, so he would avoid Li Xiaoxia when he saw her. But now the situation at home is different.
An Jingzhi naturally had no objection. Li Xiaoxia was indeed a good girl, and in their previous life, the two of them had gotten together.
To Li Shoucai, this may be an unfilial daughter, but to the An family, Li Xiaoxia is indeed a good daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.
"Since we're going to have a wedding, let's do it in a big way." An Jingzhi said, "I'll take care of the three major items. Consider it my uncle's wedding gift to my nephew."
An Qingxin was slightly excited, and his ears turned red.
When they came to propose marriage, the Li family did not object at all. Even Li Shoucai, who had always looked down on the situation in Anqing's new family, agreed.
Li Xiaoxia couldn't help crying with joy. After waiting for so many years, it finally happened. She was sincerely grateful to An Jingzhi for coming back.
After sending the people away, Li Xiaoxia's mother happily counted the engagement gifts sent by the An family.
Li Shoucai felt a little uncomfortable after seeing this, as if his insistence on opposing his daughter's relationship with An Qingxin for so many years was a mistake.
He opposed it at first, but now that he sees that the other party has become capable, he is eagerly following suit. What will the villagers think of his family?
Li Xiaoxia's mother didn't bother to pay attention to Li Shoucai's awkwardness.
Talking happily to his own son and daughter.
"It seems that Qingxin still has a conscience." She was anxious in her heart. Seeing An Jingzhi coming back, the An family bought electrical appliances and they even built a new house.
It was not a mud house like theirs, but a proper brick house, paved with floor tiles and painted with white porcelain powder. It was bright and pleasing to the eye.
There were quite a few people who came to the An family to propose marriage, and she was always worried until things were settled.
Just for an engagement, people gave a bucket of oil, a bag of white flour, a bag of fried dough twists, and a lot of cakes and candies that were sold at very high prices in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Is there any need to explain how much she values her daughter?
"My dear, your good day has finally come. Qingxin's mother said that the betrothal gift to our family consists of three large items, all bought by Qingxin's uncle."
Although no one has publicly expressed this issue.
But it seems that everyone now unanimously agrees that An Jingzhi is the one who makes decisions for the An family. With An Jingzhi's approval, Li Xiaoxia's mother is relieved.
Li Xiaoxia held a cold cream and a bottle of floral water in her hands, smiling happily.
"Sister, when you have a good life in the future, don't forget your brother. I have worked hard to keep an eye on Qingxin for you during this period." Li Xiaofeng came up and said, with a fried dough twist in his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.
Li Xiaoxia glared at him. "Are you doing that to help me? You obviously just want to watch a movie yourself!"
Li Xiaofeng argued, "Aren't they all the same? If I hadn't been keeping an eye on you, would you be so confident?"
