Chapter 135: Good Times Come After Bad Times



"Ah..." a loud roar.

Shen Zhihuan suddenly opened his eyes, as if awakened from a dream, and his blank eyes took a long time before slowly focusing.

After looking around, she couldn't help but cover her face and let out a sigh.

That look surprised and delighted Li Qiuhua, who rushed into the house after hearing the sound.

"Zhihuan, you finally woke up!"

Looking at Li Qiuhua who rushed in front of him, a complicated look flashed across Shen Zhihuan's slightly relaxed face.

"Zhihuan, are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Li Qiuhua looked distressed as she saw her daughter's face becoming thinner all of a sudden.

Shen Zhihuan shook her head gently, "Mom, I want to sleep a little longer."

"Okay, okay, you have a good rest. Mom will go buy some pork bones to make soup." Li Qiuhua tucked the quilt for Shen Zhihuan and walked out, wiping her tears.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door closing, Shen Zhihuan slowly closed his eyes and clenched his hands...

After a long time, a crisp sound was heard in the room.

When Li Qiuhua went to buy pork ribs, she also bought two large pieces of pork belly. She sent one to Dr. Hua's house and the other to Wang Lianhua's house. She also took Xiao Weidong back home.

In less than half a day, the news that Shen Zhihuan had recovered spread throughout Panshi Village like autumn rain.

"The third girl from the Shen family is really lucky!"

"Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. This girl will definitely have a great future."

"Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. Wang Dacuizi, you once rolled down the mountain with a bloody head and a bloody body. Isn't that also considered as having experienced a great disaster? Why don't I see you having great fortune?"

“Roll, roll, roll…”

Wang Quezi was so angry that he took off his shoes and threw them at the person who was teasing him.

Everyone under the tree burst into laughter. " Third sister, I will never go to the river again." Little Weidong lay on the side of Shen Zhihuan's bed, crying loudly.

"That's good to know!" Shen Zhihuan gently pinched Weidong's little face, "Okay! Stop crying! You're a grown man now."

The river in Panshi Village may not look wide, but the water flows very fast, especially under the water, where undercurrents surge.

Not to mention children of a few years old, even adults would find it difficult to escape once they are caught in the undercurrent.

This time we can only say that the two of them were lucky and did not encounter any undercurrent. If they had encountered it, they would have been doomed.

"You brat..." While I was holding the bowl of soup, this brat took advantage of me.

Xiao Weidong lowered his head and quickly stood up straight.

"I told you not to disturb your third sister's rest, don't disturb your third sister's rest, why don't you listen?!"

Li Qiuhua handed the perfectly cooled bone soup to Shen Zhihuan, and then hit Xiao Weidong on the butt with her backhand.

Xiao Weidong wiped his tears and dared not say a word.

"Mom, I know I was wrong, please stop talking about him." Shen Zhihuan frowned.

From the moment I entered the courtyard, I was greeted by the constant sound of instruction, sometimes louder and sometimes softer.

He is just a little kid, and he hasn't done anything unforgivable, so why should he be punished?!

"Okay, okay, drink some soup to fill your stomach. The lean meat porridge is still cooking in the pot. You probably have to wait a little longer." Li Qiuhua sighed.

Children are all debts!

After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Shen Zhihuan, whose stomach was already empty, couldn't help but sigh.

"From now on, you should take the same route to and from school. If I catch you running around again..."

In the courtyard, Comrade Li Qiuhua's deliberately suppressed voice of instruction began again.

Shen Zhihuan pinched his swollen eyebrows and pulled the quilt directly over his head.

The next day, Shen Zhihuan, who had completely recovered, had breakfast and went to the brigade headquarters.

Wang Tiezhu also heard the news that Shen Zhihuan had recovered, but he was still slightly surprised to see that Shen Zhihuan was in such a good mental state.

After all, based on his understanding of her, after going through such a great ordeal, she would have to lie down for a month or even ten days to escape.

Shen Zhihuan sat down and went straight to the point.

"Uncle Tiezhu is not an outsider, so I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. In our house, when it rains heavily outside in the summer, it rains lightly inside. When it rains heavily, it leaks a lot, and when it rains lightly, it leaks a little. Every time it rains, all the pots and pans in the house are not enough to collect the rainwater, so..."

Wang Tiezhu nodded and said, "In a couple of days, when the fields are clear, I'll assign a few people to go and renovate the roof of your house..."

"It's not a flip. I want to take advantage of the less work in the fields in winter to rebuild a few houses." Shen Zhihuan interrupted Wang Tiezhu with a smile.

"Re-build it?"

Rebuilding a house isn't cheap these days.

"Are you planning to build an adobe house or..."

"A brick and tile house."

Wang Tiezhu couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

Blue bricks!!!

This covers...

He had also heard that the postman often went to the Shen family to deliver remittance slips, but he didn't expect...

This is too much money! "How many rooms do you plan to build?" Wang Tiezhu swallowed secretly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Six."

Shen Zhihuan originally wanted to build a large courtyard house, but was afraid it would be too eye-catching, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

Comrade Li Qiuhua, Xiao Weidong and she each had a room, one living room, one room for guests and one kitchen, which was just right.

As for the woodshed, just build a large open room in the backyard.

"Six rooms?!" Wang Tiezhu's wide eyes suddenly shrank.

Their village...

He has three rooms.

His sister Wang Lianhua’s house has three rooms.

Su Changhe's house has three rooms.

Xu Youcai's house has four rooms.

Village Party Secretary Su Changjiang only built five rooms.

And they are all red brick and tile houses.

This little girl can talk a lot.

Or blue bricks...

Shen Zhihuan smiled and nodded.

"Green bricks are much more valuable than red bricks," Wang Tiezhu reminded.

For six rooms, the cost of blue bricks is at least a hundred yuan more expensive than red bricks.

This is not a small amount of money.

"Uncle Tiezhu, you see, our family has never built a house. I wonder how much it would cost to build six brick and tile houses?" Shen Zhihuan said with a smile.

"If it's a red brick and tile house, building six rooms would cost about 600 yuan. If it's a green brick and tile house, it would cost at least 700 yuan." Wang Tiezhu thought about it.

"Uncle Tiezhu, you are an expert in building houses. My mother and I don't know much about it, so we would like to trouble you to keep an eye on it for us." Shen Zhihuan said as he took out five big unity notes from his pocket and put them into the document in front of Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu subconsciously glanced outside the door, and when he was sure that no one was there, he pushed and said, "You call me uncle, so it's not my responsibility to help you keep an eye on things. This... can't be allowed..."

"Uncle Tiezhu, if you don't agree, it means you don't treat me as your niece." Shen Zhihuan pushed him back again.

Wang Tiezhu held the document with both hands, but still said in an awkward tone: "Girl, you are so sharp-tongued, I can't argue with you."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Tiezhu, you know, my yard is so small that I can't even turn around. I plan to build a house on the vacant land next to it. How much do you think is appropriate?"

"The empty lot to the left of your house?"

"Yes, that piece of vacant land." Shen Zhihuan nodded.

The location of the west end of the village is not better than that of the east end. No one cares whether it occupies more or less land.

But Shen Zhihuan didn't want to take advantage of that and give people something to talk about.

"Give me fifty!" Wang Tiezhu said readily.

Nowadays, everyone who builds a house does so by expanding it a little bit outwards.
