Chapter 74: The House and the Pine (Part 2)
Gui Wu was stunned and finally took back the eight taels of silver, but he looked unhappy and inexplicably his chest was blocked.
The ten taels of silver are a large amount in the eyes of the villagers, but can we buy the books brought back by Gui Chongyang? We can't buy them at all. Not only did Gui Chongyang not have any dirty treasures, but they shared them with Gui Wu, but also gave him many books for the boy's test, and the test-taking skills taught by the teacher before were also explained one by one. The meaning of this is not something that can be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver.
Gui Chongyang spread his hands, and he said he had no intention of provoking. It was always a family, so it would be better to be considerate of each other. Since Yang's heart disease was caused by these two cars of pine wood, it would be better to "prescribe the right medicine".
But Gui Wu was more than one who was upset.
Mrs. Yang sat in the second landlord's wing, pounding her arms while sulking.
Yang is not afraid of fatigue, but he is afraid of anger.
It was two carts of pine wood, either two trees. It was just a beam. It was even prepared for purlins and doors and windows. A complete set of pine wood. Such a house could be built for several generations.
Even though Mrs. Yang thought about building a house in the future, she didn't dare to think about the whole set of pine wood material.
It is also an old house, and the second house is just repairing and changing doors and windows, but the old house is rebuilt all. This is nothing more. After all, the old house is dilapidated and there is no need to repair it. However, it is rebuilt again, and it is another matter to build a complete set of pine wood.
For such a house, you can build two sets of poplar wood.
If the eldest son doesn’t say that, he will be given care to the elders and sent them to the end in the future, and will not be divided. After the youngest son gets married, he will definitely be divided, but the house is still missing.
Gui Wu, the legitimate uncle, built a house for his cousin who had separated the house, but forgot that he had a legitimate second nephew!
Just now, when Yang saw the two carts of pine wood, he almost burst into anger. It was really hard to control it, so he used the excuse of the heat coming back first.
Little Chongyang is a good child. It is pitiful to have no one else in the family, but he has no help in this way. Although Gui Chongyang said that it was bought by two cars of pine wood that he asked Gui Wu to buy, Yang was not a fool. If he really asked him to buy it, he would not make any noise?
Yang knew in his heart that no matter how much Gui Wu spent, it was Gui Wu’s money and had nothing to do with him. But when he thought about the hard days of these years, he still couldn’t help but blush his eyes.
Mrs. Yang lay down for a long time and still got up at supper.
The whole family was helping in the old house, but Grandpa Gui Er did not go there. First, there were physical work there, and Grandpa Gui Er could not work hard when he was old; second, Grandpa Gui Er had a high seniority, but the young people could not let go after he passed.
When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw Jiang's presence, and Yang couldn't help feeling a little awkward.
Jiang said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is uncomfortable, so she lie down and tastes my skills for dinner today."
Yang looked disbelief.
Jiang smiled and pushed Yang out, saying, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, don't know anything else, the noodles can always be cooked."
Yang forced a smile and let Jiang go.
Jiang first prepared sesame paste, and then cooked most of the dragon beard noodles according to the servings of three. After delivering one of the large bowls to the upper room, Jiang took the remaining two bowls of noodles to Yang's house. Mei Duo was not there, and there was a restaurant in the town today, so he followed Aunt Zhang to deliver embroidery.
On the plate, in addition to two bowls of noodles and egg braised, there are also chopped shredded radish, garlic sprouts, blanched soybean sprouts and shredded black fungus. Red, green, yellow, and black, looking colorful.
Yang was quite surprised and sincerely praised: "My brother and sister are clever, so this side must be wrong.
Jiang said: "This knife skill is so crude, so how can my sister-in-law be as delicate as her sister-in-law? It's just a bite for her family."
The dragon beard noodles that had passed through water, plus four dishes, poured a spoon of sesame paste with a spoon of sesame paste, and looked at it. Even though Yang was so stuffy for a while, he also felt appetite. After taking a few mouthfuls, he said, "I have eaten water paste before, but I never thought of using sesame paste to make it directly for braised sesame paste. It is not greasy to eat. It is a serious food."
Jiang smiled and said, "Since I like it, my sister-in-law will eat a few more bites." At this point, she paused and said, "If it starts tomorrow, I'd better go with my mother-in-law to the front yard. My sister-in-law will take a rest at home for a few days."
Yang quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this is all in a daze. The kitchen work is smoky and fire-filled. How can you stand it? I have been resting for half a day and have recovered."
Jiang is in poor health, Mei Duo is the daughter, and the two who go to the front yard to cook are the second grandma Gui, Yang and Mei. However, when the second grandma Gui is old, Mei is an embroiderer, and her hands are always exquisite, so many kitchen work are not easy to do, so Yang is still the one who holds the spoon there.
The young and strong meals for the 20th day are two meals a day, even if they are all big pots of dishes, it is tiring enough. Yang said that he was a little bit hit by heat, but he was not completely pretending to be sick, and he was really tired these days.
Jiang said, "Thank you sister-in-law for your hard work. When the old house is built, I have to let Xiao Chongyang thank you very much."
Yang waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of strength, so what's the point? I can't use any other help."
The sisters-in-law spoke, but they drew a lot of the previously slightly stiff atmosphere.
In the final analysis, Yang was not completely confused. She just involved two sons, so she couldn't think about it for a moment. When she was angry and cried, she felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, someone said outside the window: "Is sister-in-law here? Is the fourth sister in sister-in-law's house too?"
Mrs. Yang was a little uncomfortable and stood up and looked out the window and said, "I'm here, I'm done with my front yard? Why are you back at this time?"
Gui Wu disappeared, so he came in directly and handed Yang two bags of herbs, saying, "These are two medicines I just grabbed at the Song family. They are all for treating the heat. My sister-in-law cooked them and took them."
Yang felt that the face was hot and he took herbs, and he was at a loss. It was common for the farmers to get cold or hot. How many people would go to drink medicine?
However, Gui Wu seemed to have not seen it, so he took out a few dollars from his sleeve bag and handed it to Jiang Shi and said, "This is the eight liang of pine wood money added to Chongyang. You can collect it first."
Jiang's heart was very keen. Although he didn't know what the lawsuit was for "pine money", Yang's previous discomfort was somewhat guessing, so he followed her husband's words: "How much money did you spend in total? You are the uncle. Since Chongyang has asked you, you can be more careful and save some money for your children."
This is in line with Gui Chongyang’s previous statement.
Yang was stunned when he heard this, and a little embarrassed appeared on his face.
Gui Wu kept paying attention to Yang's reaction, and sighed when he saw this, but he only said on his face: "Can you buy it for Lao Zhao be more expensive? Two carts of pine wood were originally 16 taels of silver, but I saw that I had a 10% discount on my face, 14 taels of sixteen taels of silver. The poplar wood pulled back was 150 cents, and 4 taels of silver was 4 taels of silver, and it was still ten taels of zero. The boy from Chongyang was a man who didn't like to take advantage of it. I only said that the difference was eight taels, and I would immediately pay the eight taels of silver. There was no way to deal with him, so don't say it was exposed."
Yang stood beside him, embarrassed to look at Gui Wu, but his ears were standing there.
I could tell the difference between the two cars of poplar trees and knew that the two cars of poplar trees were indeed bought by Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu. Yang was so ashamed that he was ashamed.
As for the 2000 yuan silver difference in the middle, isn’t it a good thing that uncles should pay for one or two? It would be strange if Gui Wuyi’s penny is enough to collect Gui Chongyang.
He was also red-eyed and petty. If Gui Wu and his wife weren't there, Yang would have wanted to sack him.
Thinking that when she left just now, Grandma Gui's face was not good, Yang couldn't stand it anymore, so she threw the medicine bag to the side and said, "It's just hot for a while, I'll just be lazy after stealing for half a day. I'll go to the front yard now. I'm not relieved if I don't have my spoon..." After that, he went out in a hurry.
