Chapter 007 Building a house

Zhang Yongmei’s plan was right. She only had so much money, but if she bought a cow, she wouldn’t be enough to build a house.

Ju Wenqi sighed and said firmly: "Save as much as possible, don't buy what you can do, don't find someone if you can do it yourself. If you can't afford to build a big one, then let's build a small one."

In order to save money to build a new house, Ju Wenqi and his wife were not idle during the Chinese New Year. They went out to pick up materials for building the house in the wind and snow all day long.

When it was cold, they couldn't pull stones and soil, so they pushed the cart to the neighborhood of the timber factory and brick and tile factory to pick up wood and broken bricks that others didn't want.

It took them more than an hour to go to Guanglu, and it took longer to get back to pull things. They could only travel twice a day. Even so, after a while, they met two uncles who opened the factory.

Ju Wenqi is not stupid. Every time he goes back, he either brings cigarettes or alcohol. He is not very expensive but can make people happy.

The one who opens the door has a low status in the factory, but there are many things that can be done. Just by raising your hand, Ju Wenqi and his wife can take away good quality wood and complete bricks and tiles.

When he returned to his parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ju Wenqi bought a cow under the introduction of his brother-in-law and second brother-in-law, and then went to pull bricks and wood to save trouble.

After the spring planting, the Ju family officially broke the ground and dug the foundation.

Ju Wenqi and his wife were not very quiet. From the beginning, the villagers knew that they wanted to build a house. Except for the neighbors in the back house, no one took the initiative to ask them if they wanted to help.

Someone can ask a question, but it’s okay if you don’t ask. But some people just feel bad and say something that is not nice and unpleasant.

No one was talking nonsense in front of adults, but some people thought that the child was ignorant and told Ju Min about something messy.

That day Ju Min took Ju Ling and took Ju Jing out for fun. After a while, she came back in depressed mood and squatted beside the half-digged foundation to play with soil.

Zhang Yongmei was careful and could tell at a glance that the girl was unhappy, so she asked them what was wrong.

Ju Min refused to say it, but Ju Jing couldn't hold it in her words. She said aggrievedly: "Miss Xu from the west end of the village said that our family was just messing around and had no son to build a house. She also built a tiled house, but she was full."

This is pretty good. Those who are worried about salty radish in their backs must have said even more ugly things.

The couple looked at each other and sighed while having a tacit understanding. They knew that there was nothing good about them outside, but they really didn't expect anyone to say this in front of the child.

Zhang Yongmei smiled at the girls and said gently: "Don't pay attention to them, your dad and I will have three of you. You are all fine, your dad and I will hope that you will build a bigger house for us to live in the future."

Ju Jing pouted, and Bei'er nodded seriously: "I want to build a house bigger than the school for my parents and grandma to live in. When I grow up, I will beat anyone who dares to say bad things in our family!"

After coaxing the girl, Zhang Yongmei lowered her head and started working again. She didn't take Ju Jing's words to heart. She didn't know that the little girl was very revenge, and she always remembered what she said today.

The materials for building the house are almost the same. Although there are only two people working hard, they are working hard to get up early and work late, and the speed of getting the house is also very fast.

It's time to get on the beam in a blink of an eye, this is a big deal.

According to the custom here, you have to set off firecrackers when you go to the beams of the room, and those who are more particular also have to set up wine.

Anyway, the couple was busy, so they didn't think about posing for wine, and they wanted to get on the beam if they fired a cannon.

Unexpectedly, before the cannon was put out, Ju Wenlin came over with his eldest son Ju Changfu's second son Ju Changlong and his son-in-law Ma Jiabao, and opened his mouth and said he would come to help.

It is a good thing to go to the beam, and it is a good thing that someone comes to help. You cannot keep others out. Ju Wenqi and his wife can only thank them with a smile.

After that, Ju Ying and her husband Zhu Yunping also came to help. With her own relatives, many families in the village who had been watching came one after another, and one of them was busy.

Zhang Yongmei was cooking in the kitchen, Ju Ying helped, Ju Min and Ju Jing coaxed Ju Ling while helping him peel the onions and garlic.

"San Sister-in-law, what does the eldest brother mean?" Ju Ying asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yongmei pursed her lips and shook her head, and she was also very confused.

Ju Wenlin has never been very good to them, and it would be good if he doesn't have bad things. Will he come here to help with it so kindly? No matter how you think about it, she really can't figure it out what's wrong.

Soon, Zhang Yongmei knew what Ju Wenlin was thinking.

He came to make trouble with his son and son-in-law!

There are some people who don’t bother with him and don’t mess with him, and they don’t like others, and they have to come up with flowers to make trouble.

It only takes half a day to build a house with beams. Even a house as big as a school can be completed in less than a day, but the newly built house by the Ju family has not been completed until the dark sky!

Ju Wenlin's family was helping him out. They were working in front and demolishing them behind. If they could finish this work, there would be a ghost.

That's not all, the sun is still high, so Ju Wenlin yells to eat. He is the oldest among the people working, and he is Ju Wenqi's elder brother, so no one else can say anything. Ju Wenqi was afraid of this elder brother, so he finished work early to have a meal.

I didn't stop eating. I was obviously full of oil and I still thought this and that, and I had to pick up the wine. I had to take it home to feed the dogs after eating, and they also took it away by taking the leftovers home for feeding the dogs.

When Zhang Yongmei talked about this at night, she burst into tears.

"Are there any relatives like them? They are so bullying!" Zhang Yongmei said angrily.

Ju Wenqi sat at the end of the kang and smoked several cigarettes, sighing, "I will talk to my elder brother tomorrow. I can't write two Ju characters in one stroke. Even for the sake of my father, I can't do things too well."

However, Ju Wenqi really overestimated his elder brother. No matter what kind of brother or brother, he just needs to be happy and get benefits.

After chatting, Ju Wenlin did not change his style of conduct and helped him with his son and son-in-law for two days.

The family has no money at all, and the people who are helping me have spent almost the same amount of money these days. I really can't even afford to eat when I come to make trouble tomorrow.

This is not a solution. If you bully your family, you will not be able to live your life.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yongmei came up with a good idea.

When Ju Wenlin and the others came back the next day, they suddenly found that the crazy grandma was sitting at the gate with a sledge, and the three of Ju Min and the other two were there, blocking the doors entering and leaving tightly.

When Ju Wenlin was about to come in, the crazy grandma drove them with the sled. They spoke loudly and cursed, while Ju Min's three sisters cried at the top of their throats. When outsiders saw that they looked like three big men bullying the three little girls.

Ju Wenlin immediately turned black and didn't want to be pointed at in person, so he had to curse and lead his son and son-in-law to leave.

No wicked people make trouble, the finishing work is done very quickly.

As soon as July began, the family happily moved into the new house.

There is only one big kang in the new house. Ju Wenqi made a sliding door in the middle. When he was sleeping at night, one house turned into two houses, three children and crazy grandma, and one house for couples, which saves firewood and is convenient.
