Chapter 68 Construction

Xie Daniu took six people and pulled back the materials of two donkey carts. He started to move into the yard. The few of them were honest and hardworking people.

Li Chengji instructed Li Xiaoyu to boil some boiling water and go shopping for groceries with a basket.

Some neighbors came to see the fun. When they came in, they found that they were repairing the house. There was no owner coming out to greet the house. They felt that there was nothing to see, so they left one after another.

At this time, Li Xiaoyu was sweating profusely in the kitchen and burned a large pot of boiling water.

Put the dried chrysanthemums and sugar into a large bucket and put them outside the kitchen with an empty bucket.

Enter the kitchen and roll out a large wooden basin, place it beside the bucket, and pick up the melon scoop to scoop water.

"Let go, let go!"

Xie Daniu saw her scooping water with sweat on her head, ran over and said, "What are you going to do? You can call us for help."

"Uncle, I just want to put cold water in the basin to ice boiled water so that it will not make you hot. Can you help me pour the boiled water from the pot into this bucket?"

When Xie Daniu saw the chrysanthemums and white sugar in the bucket, he felt indescribable: after doing work for others for so many years, no family has ever treated them like this.

Xie Daniu helped me to freeze the boiling water, and went to work again. He also asked his brothers to do it well, so that they could drink sugar water when they were thirsty.

The saying "sugar water" made several people feel warm and motivated.

Li Xiaoyu carefully carried out a stack of thick bowls and put them on the stool, shouting: "Uncles, come and drink sugar water when you are thirsty!"

I went to the kitchen to cook again, and it was almost time to cook.

When Li Chengji came back from buying groceries, the rice was already steamed. He hurriedly stepped forward to check if the little girl was hot.

Li Xiaoyu patted her chest: "It's okay, I can do it!"

"Yes, you are the most capable person in our family, go and have a rest."

"No, I'll help you with fire." Li Xiaoyu took out ten kilograms of pork belly from the space, and the aroma of meat came from the kitchen for a while.

“This is the taste of the refried meat.”

“And the taste of braised pork.”

"Work hard and you will have something to eat in a while. You must be worthy of others' wishes." Xie Daniu roared.

The person who went to the kitchen door to drink water stretched his head and peeked into the kitchen, confirming their conjecture.

He ran back excitedly and told others: "It's the double-cooked pork and braised pork."

Xie Daniu also started to swallow his saliva, which was so fragrant.

"It's time to eat!" When several people heard the call for dinner, they went straight to the kitchen without washing their hands.

A pot of red-cooked meat, a pot of braised pork, and a pot of tomato and egg flower soup on the table.

"Sorry, I don't have so many stools at home, so I have enough food." Li Chengji said as he picked up the big sea bowl next to him and scooped half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of vegetables for everyone.

"I'll eat it myself."

Several people ate voraciously, ate while walking, and each found a place to sit down: Oh my god, it's so delicious, the fat pork belly (braised pork), bite the oil in your mouth.

Li Chengji took a thin bowl and filled half a bowl of rice for his younger sister, picked a few pieces of lean meat, and the rest were all potatoes.

Scoop a bowl of soup and cool it down, bring a stool for her to sit under the eaves, and he himself sits on the ground to eat.

Seeing that the little girl had so little meat in her bowl, Xie Daniu blushed and said to Li Chengji: "Why don't you scoop more meat for your sister? I can eat less."

Seeing that Xie Daniu's face turned red, Li Chengji hurriedly explained: "Uncle Xie, it's not what you think. My little sister doesn't like fat meat, so she likes to eat the side dishes inside."

"Yes, Uncle Xie, the side dishes in the meat are better than meat."

"I thought..."

"Why, I thought I was treating her harshly, how could it be possible? That's my real sister!" Li Chengji smiled.

How could anyone not like to eat big fat meat? The meat is so delicious, I can’t figure it out! Xie Daniu shook his head and continued to bury his head to eat.

Lunch is a three-light policy, and even the soup is eaten by bibimbap. It makes several people unable to bend their waists. Li Chengji asked them to rest for a while to avoid problems.

After the work started in the afternoon, Li Chengji did not go to help, but instead steamed buns in the kitchen.

When the sun sets, it is all completed. Li Chengji proposed a large basket of steamed buns, paid the wages agreed in advance, and handed the basket to Xie Daniu.

"Uncle Daniu, give this steamed bun to several uncles. There is no extra basket in my house."

"Thank you little brother. If you have any work, just come to me. I will definitely do it for you. The house will be used in two days." Xie Daniu thanked Li Chengji.

No one expected that after getting the wages, there would be steamed buns. This family is so honest! It is something they have never encountered before. How could this feeling of being valued by others be so good?
