Chapter 79 It's Holiday
"Captain, here's 30 yuan. Take it. I'm going to clean up the broken tiles on the roof of this house and the toilet at the back. I also need someone to help me turn over the weeds and the ground in the front and back yards. The windows that are not firm need to be reinstalled. Please help me find someone to clean up the mess."
Li Meng made a request to the captain with a flattering look on her face. The captain felt a toothache when he saw the money in his hand. This girl really knows how to spend money. She is such a spendthrift!
"Okay, cute girl, uncle will take care of it for you. When the time comes, you can get a refund or a supplement. Is that okay with you?" The captain took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. This cigarette was the one Li Meng had just given him. The taste was much better than the dry tobacco he smoked.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Of course, if the money is not enough, just tell me." Li Meng agreed obediently and promised to follow the captain's arrangements.
After settling the house issue, Li Meng returned to the Youth League Home. She planned to write back to Pei Yu tonight to tell him about her recent situation and hoped that he would not worry about her.
"Mengmeng, we'll be on holiday this week. You've taken care of the house matters today. If there's anything else you need me to do, just tell me. You're welcome." Wu Ruirui came in after washing up and saw Li Meng packing up the written letters.
"Well, after the holiday I will probably go back to town for two days. The house issues are basically settled, and I have entrusted the rest of the matters to the team leader. I will count on you to take care of some small matters then, so don't complain about being tired," Li Meng said happily.
"Don't worry, if there's anything you need me to do, just come over. Sister Lai Di and Zhou Hui have also said they will help when the time comes. If you have anything to do, just take care of your own things first," Wu Ruirui said sincerely. She really wanted to help. Li Meng had arranged everything so well, she didn't know where to start and could only ask directly.
"Okay, go to bed early. I won't be polite when I need you." Li Meng gave her a comforting smile.
The next day, construction of the new house began under the leadership of the team leader. Aunt Ma and her family came to help, and the aunts and young wives in the village also knew that the old landlord's house had been bought back by Li Zhiqing.
They were all sighing at how rich Li Zhiqing was, and they were also talking about how great their sons and relatives were. They wanted to be a matchmaker for Li Zhiqing, which was a good plan.
"What are you talking about? You are the one who covets that cute girl, but you don't even look at your own child's conditions. It's just dreaming." When Aunt Ma heard a group of old ladies talking about introducing a partner to Li Meng, she started to yell at them.
They are all dreaming. No matter whether Li Meng will take their family to do business in the end, as long as Li Meng treats her well, she cannot let these old ladies slander Meng girl behind her back and plot against her marriage.
Hearing that even such a brat like Aunt Ma came out to speak for Li Meng, the other aunties didn't dare to respond. Everyone knew how strong Aunt Ma's fighting ability was. She was so brave that she chased her mother-in-law and sister-in-law for two miles with a knife. Anyone who dared to provoke her would remain silent.
“If I hear anyone making up stories about that cute girl again, I will tear her mouth apart.” After saying that, Aunt Ma turned around proudly and continued to work.
When Li Meng came back from school, she saw that the yard was full of people helping. The whole yard looked brand new. Even the well in the yard had been cleaned by the aunties. The clear well water was steaming and it was very comfortable to look at.
"Thank you all for your help. I'll invite you all to have a meal with me when I move in. You'll definitely come then. Thank you all again for your help." After saying this, he bowed to express his gratitude.
The villagers were all very simple people. They were very happy to see that the educated youth from the city did not despise them but appreciated their efforts and invited them to have a house-warming wine. They promised verbally that they would come when the time came and told them not to thank them, and then they worked even harder.
The school winter vacation was soon approaching. Li Meng took out the winter vacation homework that she had prepared in advance from her space, took out the books one by one, wrote the children's names on them, and distributed them to them.
The children had never seen such new homework before and were very happy. Of course, these were books that Li Meng and Dandan had processed before, and it would not be obvious that they were not from this era.
"Children, you have to study even during the holidays. Hand in your homework when school starts again. The best ones will be rewarded, right?" Li Meng said to the students who were sitting quietly.
The students all shouted in unison, "We understand. We will do our homework well."
As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the semester came to an end. The children said goodbye to Li Meng reluctantly. They liked this substitute teacher very much and were reluctant to be separated from her for such a long time.
Li Meng told the children that they could come to Huanglong Village to play with her during the winter vacation with the permission of their parents. Only then did the children reluctantly leave the school.
The children of Huanglong Village were waiting at the gate for their teachers Li and Wu to return to the village.
After returning to the village, Li Meng took Wu Ruirui, Li Lai and Zhou Hui to see the new house. Seeing the brand new house, Li Meng was very satisfied, and Wu Ruirui and others also liked it very much.
"Oh my God, Mengmeng, your house is so nice. It's big and spacious. I'm so envious." Li Laidi is not good at acting. He said whatever he thought, with envy in his eyes.
"Sister Lai, if you want to come and play, come over anytime. We all welcome you," Li Meng said generously.
"That's for sure. You said I was jealous when I saw it, let alone other people's. You'd better surround the wall with bamboo or thorn branches. It will look safer." Li Laidi offered his opinion.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to do it tomorrow. Thank you, Sister Lai Di, for your reminder." Li Meng expressed her sincere gratitude. Although she was not afraid of these, Li Lai Di's reminder was good and she would of course accept her kindness.
"Or, Sister Meng, you can get a dog. It will be safer this way," Zhou Hui reminded after turning around.
"Well, we'll talk about it later. Have you forgotten? I still have balls? Have you forgotten its attack power?" Li Meng said with a proud look on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot about it, haha." Zhou Hui and Li Laidi had both seen Dandan's strength and said that this bird was enough, and they didn't need to keep a dog to save food.
"Mengmeng, which room should I sleep in?" Wu Ruirui rushed out of the room like a little swallow and asked.
"You can choose whichever room you like. I don't care." Li Meng touched Wu Ruirui's furry head lovingly, as if he was petting a cat.
"Then I'll sleep in the smaller one and you can sleep in the bigger one. It's decided. Let's see if you need anything else and then go to town to buy some together." After saying that, he rushed into the room.
The three people standing in the yard looked at each other and smiled.
