In Chenjia Village, after the autumn harvest, everyone had some free time.
After the collective work stopped, the women went up the mountain in groups of three or five to collect firewood and send it to the sugar factory. They now devoted all their attention to the sugar factory.
If you collect more firewood for the sugar factory, they can get more sugar. When they take the sugar to visit relatives, they will all have face.
Several men who were on good terms with each other got together and discussed helping each other repair their houses before winter came.
Because the educated youth had not yet had their holiday, Jiang Baige also planned to renovate Grandma Meng's house.
But she was an outsider and didn't know who to ask for help.
Renovating a house is a big deal, so you have to find someone who has good skills and a sense of responsibility.
If she finds someone who is unreliable, it won't matter if she spends money. If the performance is not good, she can't complain to him.
While having breakfast, Jiang Baige mentioned to Grandma Meng that she wanted to repair the house.
Grandma Meng had no objection to the proposal, as her house had not been renovated for many years.
She used to only think that if the house collapsed, she would be crushed to death inside.
Now that Jiang Baige has moved in, she is also afraid of danger.
In the morning, Jiang Baige waited in the yard for a long time before she heard that her future father-in-law next door was at home.
If I need help finding someone to repair the house, I can only ask my future father-in-law for help.
After all, he is the village chief, and he knows best who is reliable and who is not.
Chen Defu saw Jiang Baige come in and asked her to sit over.
"White Pigeon is here. Come and sit down. Have you had breakfast?"
Since Jiang Baige got engaged to Chen Jianguo, she has regarded the Chen family as half of her own family.
I come here every day to sit and chat with them.
Jiang Baige said, "Uncle, Grandma Meng's house is also considered a dangerous building. I think it's okay now. Find a few people to help."
"I saw that the villagers were repairing their houses, so I wanted to ask my uncle for help. I wanted to find some reliable people to repair Grandma Meng's house."
Chen Defu looked at his future daughter-in-law seriously and thought, "It's good that she's kind, but it's going to cost a lot of money to build a house."
"How can Aunt Meng come up with this money? Could it be that my daughter-in-law is going to pay for it?"
Seeing that her future father-in-law was silent, Jiang Baige hurriedly said, "Just buy as many materials as you need. I'll pay for it."
Chen Defu said, "How can you pay for this? You are just a little girl, how can you afford it?"
"How about this! I'll go talk to a few cadres and see if the village can come up with some materials."
Jiang Baige said happily: "It would be great if that were the case, but it doesn't matter if not."
"I want to start working on it in the next two days. You can ask their manager to do it. The wages will be calculated as usual, and we will also provide three meals a day."
Chen Defu swallowed and wondered why this girl still wanted to give him a meal.
He said, "It's enough to pay the wages. A few grown men need to eat a lot of food in one meal. How much food will it take?"
Jiang Baige really didn't care about this little bit of food. He smiled and said, "It's okay, uncle, just do as I say."
Chen Defu sighed, "Alright! You have the final say."
"But as for the cooking, let your aunt do it, and you don't have to worry about it."
He was afraid that this girl didn't know how to estimate how much food to eat for how many people, and when the time came, she would just eat as much as she wanted.
Zhou Xiuying was making shoes in the house. When she heard them talking, she came out.
He smiled and said, "Your uncle is right. I'll cook at our house then."
"The house needs to be repaired, so we need to move out. I'll go with you to pack up our things later, and you can move in and stay at my house for a few days."
"Mrs. Meng's house hasn't been renovated in years. If we're going to renovate it this time, let's do it well."
Jiang Baige agreed: "Well, I'll go back and tell Grandma Meng."
After Jiang Baige left, Chen Defu looked at his wife and sighed.
"Jianguo was right about this girl. This girl is sensible and kind-hearted."
Zhou Xiuying glanced at her husband and said, "You need to tell me, as for my wife's ability to take care of Aunt Meng, none of us can compare to her."
When Jiang Baige returned home, she told Grandma Meng everything she was going to do next.
This house is hers, and I have to seek her consent for any decision I make.
Grandma Meng asked, "How much will this cost? Where can we get the money?"
Jiang Baige was afraid that she would not agree, so she hurriedly asked, "How much will it cost?"
"You don't have to worry about what happens next. Uncle said he'll discuss it with the Party Secretary and the others, and Mu Tou and the others will help find it. It won't cost us much."
"If we're going to repair it, we should repair it upstairs and downstairs, so that we don't have to worry about the boards from upstairs falling and hitting people."
"Also, the ground is not level. It needs to be leveled as well."
You've fallen several times on this bumpy ground."
"Many of the roof tiles are broken, and they need to be replaced as well."
"The roof is blocked by leaves, and even heavy rain can't flow down. It's raining heavily outside, but only lightly inside."
Everything she talked about was about Grandma Meng's family problems.
Grandma Meng is blind, so she really doesn’t know what her home looks like now.
Sighing, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Jiang Baige added, "This house needs major renovations, so we have to move out."
"Pack your things now and move to my aunt's house. We'll move back after the house is repaired."
Grandma Meng was stunned. "Isn't this a bad idea? That's your in-laws' family. Why would I go there to make a fuss?"
Zhou Xiuying said with a smile at the door: "You are the children's grandmother, so just move over! I came here to invite you, you should give me this honor!"
