Chapter 18 The great ideal of a daughter

Li Dong was shocked. What did his daughter say? Save money for her to marry a wife. This means finding her own stepmother. The problem sounds a bit strange.

Whose child can do this, let alone Xiaojuan looked at the three or four-year-old girl who said seriously, saving money for her father to get a wife.

This... this is so strange that Li Dong was so amused and crying that he had received support from everyone.

No, for Mao, everyone in Yizhuangzi thinks so. Li Dong is a little worried. Stop making trouble. Grab a wife and take care of himself. When Li Dong thinks of his strong and strong wife in forty years, his scalp will be numb.

After finally escaping from the devil's claws, he was preparing to push himself into the fire pit.

Besides, the two said they were divorced, but as they spoke according to their daughter, their mother was not ready to find someone else, so their daughter warned Comrade Li Dong several times that she would not have any bad thoughts.

Comrade Li Dong did a good job in this regard. He was in his thirties and had already loosened Microsoft. He didn't have that much thought. But when he came here in 1978, he was over 10 years younger and had a very restless body.

No, it's really a side effect of traveling through time and space. I was so young that I couldn't think about it anymore. Li Dong quickly shook his head and joked, marrying a wife. If he couldn't get through it that day, what would the girl do?

"Uncle Guofu, look at this. It's not an exaggeration to say that my family is barely indifferent. We can't implicate others."

Li Dong was wandering his eyes and finally found a reason. Look at the house with only a few walls. Not to mention that the adobe house has a bit of stone foundation, but the house is too small, with only one, and the outer courtyard wall has collapsed a lot.

Yes, Li Dong pointed to the roof with a bright spot. Xiaojuan's mother left last year, and her father also jumped into the river. The roof was not covered with mud last winter. The adobe house and thatched roof had to be repaired every winter.

Especially if the roof is covered with mud and grass, otherwise it will leak rain in the coming year. The year will be bad, and there will be no rain in more than a month. If there is too much rain in previous years, Xiaojuan's house will leak into a sieve.

"What's the point of being poor? The poorer you are, the more glorious it is."

"No, kid, save more money. Go back and borrow some from your relatives in the city. Everyone can help renovate the house and build a capable wife. Everything will be fine in a few years." Grandma Wu smiled. "You can't spend money like this anymore."

"Xiaojuan looks at your dad."

The sixth master was sucking his mouth and smoking a dry cigarette, and there was also a cigarette that Li Donggang had stolen on his ear. "Look, this cigarette is worth 20 cents, no matter how much you say you have to say, you shouldn't spend this money in vain in the future."

Li Dongxin said, "Master Six, you just kept smiling and laughing, why don't you say that?"

But what would you say? The old and young men nodded one by one and agreed that Li Dong shouldn't have bought such expensive cigarettes.

Fortunately, I didn't brag just now. If I knew about the 40,000 yuan and 61 yuan package, I would have died of criticism and struggle.

"It's time to take care of it, it's impossible to have a serious woman."

Korean rich frowned. "I'll just say the matter of repairing the house. After the autumn harvest, each family has taken personal help. Let's help repair it well. Li Dong, you've been tired recently and have finished work. Go to the river beach to transport some stones, sift some sand, and turn around to lay the foundation."

A lot of mud and sand were washed away in the stream. Usually, I would go to the corner of the big tree to sift sand to build a house. Li Dong was confused. What, how could this be finalized? This is a feudal remnant force, and it is not democratic and free at all.

What kind of society is this? The whole village is going to work to marry a wife for themselves. It’s so great. Li Dong looked at Xiaojuan. “Xiaojuan, why don’t you want your stepmother to be successful?”

"What stepmother, this kid, everyone is helping to look at him, so I must find someone with good character." The fifth lady photographed Li Dong. This kid was lazy and had a good character. He just entered the village and took out fruit candy for the kids.

The old man who came came directly stuffed the cake and said he brought some cream, which was sweet and soft, and the old man could eat it even without teeth. After taking a bite of the fifth milk, it was sweet and oily, full of egg flavor, and it tasted delicious. He stuffed it into his pocket without taking a small bite and took it back for his grandson to eat.

Li Dong was stunned by your words, saying "I'm going to marry you" and "I'm going to marry you" Why does Xiaojuan keep nodding? This girl is the leader. No, let's go back and educate her carefully.

"Okay, that's all right."

"Everyone comes to help after the autumn harvest."

Han Fu spoke and called Han Weijun. "Guijun, starting tomorrow, you will teach Li Dong to beat adobe."

"Okay."

Han Weijun patted Li Dong on the shoulder. "Get up early tomorrow and come to my house."

No, Li Dong was scared and shivered. Li Dong really knew this job, it was simply too scary. In the past few days, he was definitely a physical job. He couldn't play with his body. Only those with strong bodies could operate it.

"No."

Li Dong smiled bitterly and looked at the villagers who came home to cook after joining the fun, looking desperate. Why did he say that? I, the person involved, haven't spoken yet.

"Dad, money."

As soon as the person left, Xiaojuan stretched out his hand to ask for money. Li Dong was so amused that this black-hearted cotton jacket was so bad that he even sprinkled soil. Li Dong took out 30 yuan and handed it to Xiaojuan twenty-five. "Leave five yuan for dad."

Li Dong regrets that, bragging, bragging too much, spending money on the restaurant and giving Huang Yingnan one dollar a bonus, which is more than three yuan. If you buy fabric, you will buy two pieces of meat. This is not considered a canvas backpack, it is replaced by Li Dong with a hairpin and two pairs of stockings.

The remaining pairs of stockings were sold to salesmen in the department store. This was a secret that Li Dong discovered. The salesmen in the department store would collect some things in private. Otherwise, Li Dong would not even have thirty yuan on him if he had sold the stockings.

He was bragging and bragging. At this moment, Li Dong only had thirty-six or seven yuan on him. Alas, Xiaojuan grabbed thirty yuan and looked at Li Dong with a suspicion. This new father was not honest at all.

Li Dong shivered. This girl suspected her. Fortunately, she had just hidden herself and might have discovered it.

"It's really gone."

Little girl, if you don’t learn anything, what can you learn? Xiaojuan put away the money. "Dad, I will take the money first, and I will use it to get married."

"Okay, okay."

Li Dong was helpless and looked desperate. When he thought that he would follow Han Weijun to learn to beat adobe tomorrow morning, he lamented that he would not live anymore. Who would he provoke whom he was going to be.

My daughter saved money for herself to marry a wife, and the whole village helped to build a house to see the girl. OK, this really cost me my life.

Alas, the meat is no longer fragrant now. After ate two bowls of rice porridge, I went to bed and didn’t eat the stewed meat. The next day, Li Dong woke up Xiaojuan. "Dad, get up and have dinner."

"ah?"

It was still dark and whimpering this day. Li Dong was so amused and laughed. "Xiaojuan is still early to work."

"Dad, you forgot that you have to learn to beat adobe with Uncle Wei Jun."

Han Xiaojuan made mixed grains and rice early in the morning, and had to do physical work early in the morning, and stewed a few pieces of meat stewed by Li Dong yesterday. Li Dong sighed, why is he so miserable?

I originally thought that the little cotton jacket was a black-hearted cotton jacket. Forty years later, there was a strong daughter, who was a sinister.

After washing up, Li Dong took the rice handed over by Xiaojuan. A spoonful of meat soup and a few pieces of meat were poured on the big bowl of rice. It smelled so good. Li Dong didn't eat much last night, so he was really hungry now. After striking it for a while, he drank the big bowl of rice that was rising.

It was so comfortable. I took a sip of water and glanced at Han Xiaojuan's rice porridge. The most important thing was that there was no meat. "Xiaojuan, why don't you eat meat? I stewed a lot yesterday."

"I don't have to eat meat if I don't do physical work." Han Xiaojuan's answer made Li Dong's eyes turn red. "If you don't do physical work, you won't eat meat if you don't have it. At least not for dad. You are growing up and eating more meat." As he said that, he was about to open the vegetable cabinet and take out the stewed meat and go to the kitchen shed.

Han Xiaojuan held it in her hand. Li Dong had no choice but to say that the little girl didn't eat anything and finally poured some broth and mixed rice. Looking at Xiaojuan who was eating the rice with the meat soup happily, Li Dong felt that he should work harder and bask in the sun more.

The worst thing is to wear more shirts and stockings next time. Li Dong took a look at the screen time and it was twenty years old. I haven’t been much sun in the past few days. Come on.

"Dad, let's go first."

"Dad, study hard and don't be lazy."

Puchi, Li Dong, who was still a little excited and planned to build a fortune for Xiaojuan, almost hit the threshold of the yard. When he broke the door and turned to the yard, he would sort out the threshold and let it go.

When he came to the rich Korean house, the whole family had already gotten up. Han Weijun even placed all the tools and placed them at the west end of the yard. There was the place where his family made adobe, and some adobe was still hanging.

This is all during the slack season. Han Weijun and his brothers fought. They were planning to make a house for the third brother. Li Dong didn’t come empty-handed, but brought two pieces of ribs. After all, he came to learn craftsmanship. "Aunt Chunhua, these two pieces of ribs are stewed for Xiaohao and the others to replenish their bodies."

"What a polite kid?"

Li Chunhua took the ribs and was polite, but she didn't hold it up at all. It's a pity for anyone to think that the meat is too much, but it's not that fat meat cannot be refined, but it's good to have meat. Han Xiaohao and his children were almost drooling. The meat, I haven't eaten meat for a while, and I remember the last time I ate meat on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Han Guo is rich and has two daughters-in-law, especially Zhang Qiuju's eldest daughter-in-law, who was originally very dissatisfied with Han Weijun teaching Li Dong to beat adobe. His man was very tired when he started working. He also taught Li Dong, a lazy person who was good at making adobe, which was a tiring job.

It can be seen that Li Dong was carrying at least half a pound of meat and bones, and Zhang Qiuju showed a smile. This meat was earned by her man. When she turned around, her baby would definitely have a couple more, which was great.

Han Weijun greeted Li Dong and everything was ready. There was a rectangular wooden rack mold on the stone mill, and a hand-held stone hammer on the side, a 20-centimeter square stone hammer with a T-shaped wooden handle inserted on it.

Li Dong finally knew why it was said that it was physical work. It was not a few dozen pounds of stone hammer before it was seen. Li Dong grinned and said that it was not something that humans did to beat adobe.

"I'll do a few first and you can watch."

Han Weijun started to speak, put the wooden rack on the stone mill and picked up a shovel and shoveled it into the wooden mold. "Before loading soil, you must sprinkle a layer of ashes, otherwise the adobe will not be poured out."

As he said that, he began to dig the soil to prepare to fill the mold. First, a large shisha slab was filled with half a mold, and then a shisha slab. The second shovel of soil was put in the middle. "Look, there are three shisha slabs in total, but there are some details."

Han Weijun smiled and said, "We have a formula for hitting adobe, three turtles, six feet and twelve tamps. As he said, he jumped up his feet and started stepping on the soil. He first stepped on the corners and then in the middle, until he stepped on the two ends one inch higher than the mold and two inches higher in the middle."

Next, he used a big stone hammer and bent over to lift the stone hammer. Han Weijun taught Li Dong while smashing it. "First hit the front, then hit the back, and finally hit the middle. The order of front and back cannot be messed up, otherwise he would not be able to make a good adobe."

"You must, don't touch the wooden frame when smashing it."

Han Weijun told him to make the first piece slower so that Li Dong could watch it carefully. Otherwise, Han Weijun would have made a piece of adobe. He made adobe well, and the adobe molded and opened the mold at the end and leaned against the stone hammer.

"Be careful, you should turn the adobe horizontally in the middle of your waist, but don't turn it upright, as it will easily turn it over."

Han Weijun turned over the adobe and moved it onto the adobe pile. When transporting, he had to hold both ends of the adobe with both hands. Li Dong nodded while looking, but he felt very distressed.

Han Weijun asked Li Dong a few words and remembered them all. He was very quick. He beat two pieces and handed them over to Li Dong. As soon as Li Dong got it, it was okay to shovel the soil with a shovel, but as soon as he put the stone hammer on, Li Dong was stunned. The stone hammer was too heavy.

After this piece of adobe came down, Li Dong felt his arms were sore and his legs were numb. He couldn't do this job. He would have at least a few hundred adobe in a house. This was his own life.

No, I can't do it. Li Dong knows what he is doing. No, but it's not good if he beats three pieces. Li Dong is going to be in trouble. He's going to die. "Brother Wei Jun, it's not too early. You can have a meal, you have to go to work later."

"Okay, you will take the tool back."

Seeing that Li Dong was fighting, Han Weijun nodded. Li Dong was so bitter that he was almost killed. A few pieces of adobe were beaten to death. If he beat hundreds or thousands of dollars, he would be better to kill his own happiness. Li Dongxin said he would definitely find a way, but he would not be able to beat this adobe himself, it would be deadly.

When she got home, Xiaojuan was very happy to see Li Dong bringing tools to the house. The new father learned so well. Li Dong looked at Xiaojuan, this kid who cheated her. "Xiaojuan, are we good to build a brick and tile house?"

On the way back, Li Dong remembered that Han Zhuang built brick and tile houses with black tiles and horse head walls in later generations.

It seems that it was in the first two years. By the way, there were even earlier ones. It was built in the early 1970s. Li Dong slapped his thigh, why was he so stupid? He bought bricks and tiles, cement, and asked someone to build a house. It is still okay to build a house this year.

As long as it is not speculation, I am really stupid. Adobe, forget it, I can't do this fatal thing myself, I can't do it, I can't do it, so I'm going to dig sweet potatoes today. If I can't get the shade in that place, I will definitely not be able to resist it, so I'll go to the paddy field.

After a day, it will take at least ten hours. In order not to make adobe, Li Dong planned to fetch water, but it was not good to tread water. When the Korean rich heard that, he said, "A good boy, in order to get married, he saw that he was full of energy. OK, so he said that there was no lazy guy. He was ready to make progress."

Sure enough, for the young man, there is nothing more energetic than marrying a wife. Li Dong nodded with satisfaction when he saw Han Fu looking at him and smiled, but his eyes were strange. What was going on?
