Chapter 173 The Regretful Old Xiao Family
The appearance of the new house made the father and son so happy that they forgot everything else.
Especially Xiao Chenye, who will bring the team leader and his family to Wen Ran's house tomorrow to go through the formalities, and the marriage will be a done deal.
In the afternoon, the team leader didn't have to leave. He could have lunch at Xiao's house and then go to look for a homestead.
Now that the homestead is in place, it’s time to plan for blue bricks…
Hehehe~
Perfect.
The three members of the Xiao family left reluctantly.
As soon as Wen Ran closed the door, Hong Guo hugged him from behind.
She leaned on Wen Ran's shoulders, crossed her legs and wrapped them around Wen Ran's waist, "Sister~"
Wen Ran was helpless, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, you are so kind. I don't know how I can repay you in this life."
She grew up in the mountains and had no idea about the human nature of the outside world.
But her heart is not made of stone. She knows very well who treats her well and who treats her badly.
Just like today, my sister said she wanted to live in her own home after getting married. Wow, it must be because of her.
If you marry someone with your sister, you will be criticized.
Wen Ran could guess some of Hong Guo's thoughts.
She admitted that there was indeed a reason behind this.
But, in the final analysis, the Xiao family really couldn't accommodate them.
Moreover, the sound insulation of this mud house is just so-so.
Even through the wall, you can hear the farts and snoring from next door.
Now that she is married, she must live a married life.
What if one of them can’t be controlled by then?
Oh~
Just thinking about it makes me feel socially dead.
But it’s different here. When this mud house was first built, the materials used were solid. Moreover, there are two rooms with a main room in the middle.
The sound insulation effect will naturally be much better.
Unless she goes crazy and lets herself go, you can hardly hear any noise.
At first, we didn’t plan to get married, and there was no kang in the other room…
So, before the big brick and tile house was built, she had to have a kang in her house?
What a hassle.
Tsk~
If that doesn't work, we'll have to go back and speed up the progress of the brick and tile house.
If you don't have to make this kang, then don't do it.
After coaxing Hongguo for a few words, the two sisters went back to their room and went to sleep.
The next morning, Xiao's father, Xiao's mother, and Xiao Chenye all dressed up and followed the captain to Wen Ran's house for the formality.
It is neither good nor bad for familiar people to get together.
At least the captain couldn't hold it in any longer after saying just two sentences of these polite words.
He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, no, this matchmaker's words are too funny, I really can't say a word.
Anyway, I fully agree with you two being together. So, when are you planning to get married? Let's pick a date?"
After the captain said this, Xiao's mother also smiled, "Very good, very good, this is good. However, don't rush to choose a date for the wedding, I need to go back and study it carefully."
This is a major matter that concerns the whole life of my son and daughter-in-law, so we cannot be careless about it.
After she bathes and burns incense, she chooses carefully.
"Now, let's talk about something else."
Captain: “?”
He was a little confused. Judging from how much importance the Xiao family attached to Wen Ran, he couldn't think of anything more important than marrying Wen Ran.
Father Xiao couldn't help but laughed happily, "Hahahaha, that's what happened, Shi Lan and I have also worked hard all our lives.
Now, the child has grown up, and our house has become old and small. So, we can take advantage of this double happiness and build a house together. "
The captain's eyes almost popped out of his head. He scratched his head and sighed, "Your family is really lucky. What kind of building do you want to build this time?"
"Haha, the kid is promising. Yesterday, we old couple discussed with Chen Guang and Chen Ye and decided to build a big blue brick and tile house!"
——(Xiao Chenguang:??? What the hell, my family is building a house, and you discussed it with me? If it’s not built, I should know if no one notified me, right?)
The captain subconsciously thought that this house was built by the brothers Xiao Chenguang and Xiao Chenye.
I was even more moved, "Old friend, you see, the previous days were a bit hard, but now the hope has finally come!
You have two sons who are both so successful. I envy you so much!"
This is not a compliment, it comes from the heart.
In this era when almost everyone was digging the soil, the Xiao family gave birth to four sons. Although the eldest son was not a good-for-nothing, his job was a popular one in the team.
Workers!
The third brother is a soldier, and he is not just a soldier, but a battalion commander! To fight to this position at such a young age, both brains and skills are indispensable.
And there is Lao Wu, this sly guy. He has countless friends outside. If you ask around in the commune, you will find that everyone knows Xiao Lao Wu.
Ouch!
Damn it, he muttered, the captain was jealous.
Getting back to the topic, the team leader immediately began to discuss the housing resettlement issue with the Xiao family.
As for whether to demolish and rebuild on the original site or to choose another Feng Shui location, everyone unanimously chose the latter.
"Even if we move as quickly as possible, it will be a problem where to live in the intervening one or two months."
Father Xiao pondered for a moment, "Anyway, our brigade has a wide range of locations, so it won't be difficult to pick a good place."
"It's not difficult, but the location is very remote."
The original settlements have been almost completely covered.
"There are advantages to being biased, so choose the biased one."
It is remote and there are few people, so naturally there are fewer things to do.
The captain couldn't sit still any longer, so he said, "We don't have anything to do right now, why don't we just go out and choose a place?"
"Okay."
Everyone hit it off immediately and got up and went out.
When they met those curious people on the road, they came up to ask questions after knowing that the two families were visiting each other today.
At that moment, the news that the Xiao family was going to build a house spread throughout the Silly Roe Deer Brigade like wildfire.
The old house of the Xiao family.
Old Lady Xiao also heard about it. She stopped washing clothes and said disdainfully, "Huh, it's just building a house, and you still have the nerve to brag about it.
Do you know my third son-in-law? He is a truly capable man, and he lives in the factory staff dormitory."
For farmers, being able to work in a factory is truly a blessing from their ancestors.
But in fact, people living in tube-shaped buildings are not as comfortable as those living in the countryside.
In this small piece of land, you can sow some rapeseed and it will grow strong and pleasing. But in the county town, even if you want to eat a scallion, you have to bring food coupons to buy it.
Not to mention the shared washing area and the wok that had to be squeezed into the narrow corridor at the door...
Anyway, only whoever lives there knows.
"Oh, you're still bragging. No matter how capable your third son-in-law is, what does it have to do with you?" The visitor was very disdainful, curling his lips and saying sarcastically, "If you ask me, you're just stupid.
If I had been a little nicer to your second son, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."
