Chapter 78
The next day, Ivanqiu was woken up by a rush knock on the door.
"Uncle, uncle open the door." It was Yi Yonglin who spoke, and Ivanqiu was awakened by the sudden noise.
With his half-sleeping eyes open, he opened the door with some anger. The little nephew, who was standing outside the door, had an innocent smile, raised his head and said to Ivanqiu: "My dad said I asked me to call uncle."
Ivanqiu looked down at his nephew's round, chubby and tender smile, and his sense of disturbance and sleepiness disappeared. "Dad, is there anything you call uncle?"
Ivanqiu squatted down and looked straight with his nephew, rubbed his nephew's somewhat messy hair with his hands.
"The second uncle and dad are both in the fields at the entrance of the village, and they are digging holes."
"I know, you go and tell your dad first, and the uncle will arrive later."
The little nephew turned around and ran out the door, probably to go back and tell his father that he was coming.
Ivanqiu probably knows why my second brother told me to leave today. There is more than one acre of dry land at the entrance of the village. As early as when I mentioned the construction of a house with my grandfather, I said, "If I really want to build a house in the future, I really want to build it on the fast land at the entrance of the village."
In addition to my usual conversation with my second brother, I also expressed my thoughts. Of course, when my second brother built a house, the only place I could build was the land at the entrance of the village, and there was no other place. As early as a few years ago, the village had already distributed the land, and only the family had not yet been distributed.
Ivanqiu changed into water shoes, put on old clothes and pants, and went out in the direction of the village entrance with a bonnet hat.
The sun was already high at this time. Not long after, Ivanqiu arrived at the entrance of the village and saw the eldest brother and second brother talking there from a distance. The eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law and the mother had not yet come back to mow the grass.
"Brother." Ivanqiu first greeted his elder brother, and the elder brother and the second brother looked up at Ivanqiu who was walking towards him.
"Third brother, do you rely on the east side or the west side?" asked the second brother loudly.
"It's fine." Since dry fields are on the side of the road, it's as convenient to move on the side or the west.
"Then I'll choose the east side."
The second brother said as he pulled the tape measure in his hand and handed it to the eldest brother. The two of them set a seat in the field, and Ivanqiu took the lime and sprinkled it all the way.
"Stern, when will you go out?" the second brother asked with his head down.
"It's the day after tomorrow!"
"Are there many people going there this time? How many people in the village go together to know if they have any?"
Such a conversation goes back and forth between the two brothers, which seems to be some travel work and even talk about marriage, but in fact it is the most common simple communication on weekdays.
After the size of the house was basically determined, the eldest brother held the compass in his hand and began to determine the location of the house gate.
Whether in rural areas or in cities, people pay great attention to Feng Shui, which has become the most important precautions besides weddings and funerals.
There was a legend before that a very famous scholar appeared in the village.
Because his family's ancestral tomb is very good, he has a genius who is unparalleled in the world, and it is his generation.
One day! A Feng Shui master who came from afar who could read Feng Shui was passed by here and saw that the location of this ancestral tomb was a high Feng Shui area, and then he felt jealous.
Then I asked the people in the village where the house was? After the introduction of the villagers, the Feng Shui Master came to the scholar's home as a guest. At that time, the village was circulated in the village to protect the land of Dongfeng Village, which was obtained by Yiruochuan's Feng Shui, and the villagers completely regarded the Feng Shui Master as majestic as a mountain respecting him, and trusted the foreign Feng Shui Master very much.
When the Feng Shui Master came to the door of Xiucai's house, he saw that the Xiucai's house was in a mess and the roof was ventilated and leaking.
The scholar's father was very happy to entertain Feng Shui master. Feng Shui master narrowed his triangle eyes, and light flashed in the cracks of his eyes that looked like beans. Suddenly, he waved his hand and focused his fingers. He opened his eyes and looked at the scholar's father, and said uneasy: "If you don't rebuild the house and change the Feng Shui position, something big will happen to your family."
When the scholar's father handed money to ask the Feng Shui Master to tell the truth, the Feng Shui Master stroked his beard and said, "If the house is not rebuilt, your son will probably not come back."
A pun to not come back can be completely understood as your son will be able to make a fortune outside and will not live in an old house in the future.
Another meaning is that your son will probably die in a foreign land.
The scholar's father heard that he couldn't come back, so he thought of the second statement.
Then I asked the Feng Shui master how to change Feng Shui position. When the Feng Shui master opened his eyes, he told him that your house must follow the direction of this year and not the direction of the public.
As expected, the scholar's father did it according to the Feng Shui master. Later, he changed the house and moved the ancestral grave. After waiting for a series to be completed, his son Xiucai died in a foreign land two years later.
When my son was waiting for his son to come home, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man and cried and howled.
Later, someone raised the question of Feng Shui Master, so he invited Feng Shui Master from other places to come to see it.
The moment the Feng Shui Master came to his home, he kept shook his head and sighed: "How can you move your home and move your tomb? The original Feng Shui of your family has been destroyed, which leads to the current consequences."
That story has been passed down to this day, so people take Feng Shui very seriously and rigorously.
Perhaps it was because the scholar's visitor died in a foreign land, but if the scholar had not died in a foreign land, people still attached great importance to the Feng Shui treasure land.
After getting the directions, the elder brother looked down at the watch and said, "Prepare to make ground."
The so-called earth-breaking means determining the direction and identifying the time. The first piece of soil dug is particularly important. This piece of soil is usually dug at the stigma.
The digging must also be dug by the owner of the house. The second brother Ivana raised his hoe high and pointed it at the thick soil of the stigma and shook it down. A large piece of soil was dug up.
Ivanqiu and his elder brother each took each of them, digging a square patterned stigma pit poured out of lime.
At noon, three large pits had already been dug out half a meter high. The eldest sister-in-law and mother who came back from mowing the grass also came to help dig the stigma.
The family dug up a role model, and the rough foundation of the house was clearly identified. Then the family carried a hoe and went home to cook.
(On the road to Shenzhen)
The three masters took turns driving the car. In the evening, they leaned against the parking lot on the side of the road for a short rest.
The passengers in the car also slept for a day and a night and got off the car to find food.
Li Simeng and her sister got out of the car, came to a noodle restaurant, ordered fresh meat noodles, and then the two of them started eating.
There were limited seats in the noodle restaurant. A girl who was holding a bowl of hot noodle soup and didn't know where to sit. She looked at a square table with only two young sisters sitting in the corner and came carefully because there was too much water in the noodle soup and the ground under her feet was obviously uneven.
It took a lot of effort to put the bowl on the table and sat down. The two sisters who lowered their heads to eat noodles at the same time looked up at the young girl who had just sat down and looked at her. They looked at her eyes and lowered their heads to continue eating noodles.
The young girl asked, "Are you all going to Shenzhen?"
Li Siyan raised her head and replied with a smile: "Yes."
"It's also a car of 868?" the girl looked at Li Siyan and asked.
Li Siyan lowered her head to eat noodles again, and replied vaguely: "Well, are you too?"
The girl shook her head gently, lowered her head and grabbed the chopsticks and said, "Yes." The girl looked up at the two sisters again curiously and asked, "Are you fellow villagers?"
Li Siyan said "Yeah!" and continued to eat noodles.
Then Li Siyan looked up and added: "I am my sister, she is my sister."
The girl lowered her head and ate noodles with a gentle "oh".
In the noodle restaurant, people come and go, and some tables gathered on the tables, eating steaming noodles and making jokes.
Some are obvious father-daughter relationships. The daughter is afraid that she will not finish eating and put the noodles she just brought into her father's bowl. The father pushes the bowl over and sits upright and watches her daughter pick up noodles into her bowl.
After almost the picking, my father quickly stepped forward with chopsticks to stop him, "You can keep it for food, you will be hungry on the road and don't know where to stop."
Hearing his father say this, the daughter obediently stopped the chopsticks that continued to pick up the noodles. The father reached out and took the bowl back in front of him, lowered his head to eat noodles.
Some also hugged the young parents in their arms and coaxed their children to laugh out loud.
Li Simeng took the lead in finishing the noodles, but didn't drink the soup, and hit her sister with her elbow, "You've finished eating, let's go out to have a breath, it's so boring here!"
The girl sitting opposite her deskmate paused for a moment and looked up and asked, "Oh? Where are you from? The accent seems to be..." After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I heard that accent, are you from the ancient town?"
Li Simeng and Li Siyan met for a moment, and unexpectedly looked at the girl sitting opposite each other again at the same table, and said in unison: "How do you know?"
The girl stopped the chopsticks of the noodles and looked up at the incredible expressions of the two sisters. She probably explained why she looked at herself like this! She was so beautiful? No! She said that she hit the threshold, thought for a moment, and said mysteriously: "After you go out for a long time, you will be able to tell which accent there is."
Then he lowered his head and ate her noodles again.
Sister Li Siyan stretched her neck to the table and asked in a low voice: "You..." She didn't want to ask about her job, but she still spoke, "Have you done a lot of work before? Have you been to many places?"
The girl nodded, and her ponytail rose and fell behind her.
"I grew up in the ancient town when I was a child, and I didn't go home until I was old." The girl said seriously and calmly.
Li Siyan continued to ask, "Then how many years have you been to Shenzhen?"
The girl raised her smile and stretched out her three fingers with confidence, "This."
"Three years? It's so early. I heard that there are many interesting places in Shenzhen, right?"
"I haven't been there." The girl shook her head. "I've been to the city center. It's very lively. There are many kinds of clothes." As she said, the girl stretched out her arm and pointed to the white skirt on her shoulder and said, "This skirt was bought in the market and it's very cheap."
Looking at the girl's white fabric and soft skirt, Li Siyan and Li Simeng's thoughts had already crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and came to the developing Shenzhen. Imagine that people there are high wages and living a high-quality life with low consumption.
The girl looked at Li Siyan and said, "Oh, what are you doing?"
Li Simeng supported her lower jaw with her other hand and said, "We are going to surrender to our uncle. I heard that he was entering the garment factory." Li Simeng suddenly thought of something, looked at the girl with curious eyes and asked, "Are you also from the garment factory?"
The girl shook her head, as if she was recalling something unbearable to look back on. She glanced at the ground and sighed, "I sell clothes, and the garment factory will never go in again in this life." Her tone felt a little disgusted.
Then he waved his hand: "I won't mention this."
On the contrary, she waved her hand, which made the curiosity of the sisters increase instead of reducing. Li Siyan asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me? We will work in a garment factory in the future. If you have any experience, we can avoid it. This will reduce a lot of trouble."
The girl's lazy voice sounded, "I don't know how lucky you are. Anyway, I'm unlucky enough. I've been in the garment factory three times and I haven't gotten money once. Now, if you have some money in Shenzhen, you can open a factory if you can sew clothes, and don't care whether you understand or not. Anyway, if you enter a small workshop, you have to pay attention. Those places never pay on time, so that you can work overtime without any day or night."
"Isn't that a bag?" Li Siyan asked in a low voice.
"Some of them are for food, but they don't have to pay their wages. We go out to work and don't go out to pay off our debts. Besides, we ran all the way, and you said that it took several days and nights to even take a car. What's the purpose? Isn't it just that we can get a salary?" the young girl spread her hands and said.
"This is, going so far is naturally a matter of getting money. So don't you go on strike?"
"Tsk, it's useless to put the work. The boss will give you a little bit, but it doesn't give much. By the end of the year, you'll do it in vain. So, just be careful when you go there. Ask if the boss pays his salary on time, otherwise there will be no travel expenses for the Spring Festival."
Li Siyan stroked the hair on her forehead with her hands, blew her barely, and asked, "Then can you pay your salary on time when you come out to sell clothes?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have made this either. Although my salary was a little lower, I felt at ease." After the girl said that, she lowered her head and took the noodles from the bowl.
Li Siyan pondered for a moment, and thought that his father had also inquired from many sources. He thought that the factory where his uncle was in should not be so dark, otherwise how would he go home every Spring Festival?
Li Simeng asked, "How long have you been selling clothes?"
"It's been a year."
"Then do you all look for a job by yourself?"
The girl replied in a slight silence: "I went out with the villagers when I first went there. Later, after staying for a long time, I became familiar with it. I found work by myself. In fact, jobs are not as difficult as you think. You can see recruitment information on the wall and the electric pole when you walk by a place."
"Ah? It's so easy to find." Li Siyan said in surprise.
"Do you think? After you go out for a while, you will gradually understand. It's okay. At first, I heard that I didn't think it was like you."
"But that's true. It's really easy to find when you go out and get familiar with it." Li Simeng murmured, then asked again: "By the way, what is the small workshop you mentioned?"
