Building a house for my second brother's family has become the top priority for everyone in the family.

The reason why my elder brother got up early and went out to arrange the construction site he had previously contracted every day, so he rushed back to the village entrance to help his second brother dig the foundation.

All of the people are busy just to build the house as soon as possible so that their second sister-in-law can make a sprinkle of this family.

Ivanqiu carried a hoe to the pit that he dug yesterday, which is the foundation.

After discussions between the second brother and the eldest brother, they decided to expand the house to a total area of ​​12 square meters, so the area of ​​the foundation that needs to be dug has also increased a lot.

However, Ivanqiu still didn't know whether my second brother should build it with wood or stone.

Ivanqiu looked up and saw his second brother not far away, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, what should you build your house?"

While digging the foundation, the eldest brother replied with great difficulty: "Your second brother said that you want to... combine stone and wood."

"Mixed stone and wood?" Ivanqiu looked at the eldest brother with some confusion, then turned to look at the back of the busy second brother.

Ivanjiang saw him from the corner of his eyes, staying there frowned, as if thinking about his elder brother’s reply just now.

After cleaning up the soil in the basket, he turned to Ivanqiu and said, "Don't you know this yet?"

Ivanqiu became even more puzzled and looked at Ivanjiang and said speechless.

Ivanjiang explained: "The things we usually do when we go out are made of stones. Are we putting horizontal wood in the middle? "

Ivanqiu nodded in agreement and still said nothing.

"Then half stone and half wood! Just use stones to lift the bottom layer, and above..."

Before Yi Wanjiang finished speaking, the second sister-in-law interrupted, "It is built with wood so that termites can be avoided from eating."

Then he lowered his head and continued to slap because the soil was attached to his body just now when he was holding the basket. He waved his hands hard and patted them, making a "fluttering" sound.

"That way, it can save a lot of time, and it's hard to move stones. Wait until! One day, I'll rebuild... Hehe, how troublesome is that?" The second brother stood on the ground with a hoe, leaning on the first half of the hoe with his hands crossed, and wiped his sweat-soaked collar with a towel, and said.

The sun is really big today. My second brother, who doesn't usually wear a hat, has long been exposed to the sun as black charcoal head by the fierce sun.

"It's not so easy to rebuild. You can build a house like this in your life." The second sister-in-law first let out a sharp and harsh contempt, and then she said it casually, wiping the sweat stains on her face with a scarf as she spoke.

The second brother raised his voice and joked to his second sister-in-law: "Oh, you can't live for the rest of your life? Will you have to rebuild when your child grows up and ask for a wife? Who will be sure at that time? Who knows what the times have become? Not to mention anything else, it depends on the county town. People use steel and cement, and there is another new term called... pouring? Have you heard of it?"

"Who would have thought that decades later, I would only look in front of me!" My second sister-in-law couldn't compete with her second brother, so she just immediately said, "I'm just like this, what are you doing?"

Seeing that his wife could not compete with him for her, the second brother started to cheat again, so he had to admit defeat, "What you said is, who else is right?"

It made everyone present laugh.

The second sister-in-law couldn't help but laugh.

Obviously, in the past, the couple's way of getting along was that the second brother gave in to the second sister-in-law. Even if they were arguing about some major issues, as long as the second sister-in-law showed a very different personal understanding, the second brother would become a very different person.

Ivanqiu looked at the proud, second sister-in-law, and thought to herself, what is this? If a woman becomes narcissistic, the whole world will have to coax her!

Thinking that in the future, I would live a life of black and white in front of someone, my scalp couldn't help but feel numb.

The second brother continued, saying, "It's not certain that when we reach our children's generation, it's possible that steel and cement will no longer be used. Have you seen the title of the morning newspaper? In the future, new houses will talk about a very environmentally friendly way to build houses, which saves time and effort. The whole body is made of steel structure, and there is not even a little cement."

Yi Jiahua bent over, carried the soil from the basket, threw it to the shore, and said breathlessly: "That kind is too far away, it sounds very powerful. But for now, I heard that there is a brick yard in the county town, and the bricks sold in it are hollow bricks. The houses built in the county town use that kind of brick, which is a bit expensive... It seems that there are also graded bricks, one grade is more than one cent, and the third grade is the worst, and it costs seven or eight cents."

The elder brother waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Those, the cost of building a floor is several thousand yuan. It doesn't cost us to mine the stones on the mountain. Don't look at the few cents, what about the shipping fee? If you count these, there are other materials that can be added to it? Isn't it said that only bricks are enough, no cement, no river sand, and no lime powder, and there is no way to build bricks. If this is calculated, it won't cost tens of thousands? Haven't you seen the house of Li Jianguo in Huaihua Village? It's just one floor."

The eldest brother continued with certainty, "It cost 20,000!" Then he raised an index finger and said seriously, "It's hard to ask people outside to build it! This is not something that ordinary people can afford." After saying that, the eldest brother shook his head repeatedly, feeling that the number was too large, so large that it almost exceeded the expected range of many people.

Twenty thousand yuan is indeed a big number at the moment. If the village can pay a household of 10,000 yuan and receive commendation from the county, what does 20,000 yuan mean? It means that the two big rich people combined so many. When everyone heard this, they shook their heads and thought that they would never save so much money in their life, so they could only take a look and listen.

The eldest brother seemed to have thought of something, coughed lightly and then said, "You said if you go to Shenzhen to find work, how much money will you get in a month?" Then he looked at everyone present.

Yi Jiahua's wife, Hong, said: "I heard that they have a little over a hundred people working in Shenzhen for a month. As for how much it is, it's unknown, but my parents-in-law will definitely be able to build a two-story bungalow when they come back for seven or eight years."

The second sister-in-law half-jokingly said, "How troublesome is it to go home? I heard from those who went there that they might be robbed halfway."

The second sister-in-law then asked, "Aunt, is your nephew in Shenzhen or Dongguan?"

Hong looked at his second sister-in-law and smiled gradually and said, "He seems to be out with his classmates. I didn't ask his father much about where he was. He just heard that he was in the factory and didn't know what kind of management it was. Anyway, his salary was still quite good every month. He sent back two hundred yuan a day to supplement his family's expenses. I really envious of people."

"What? Two hundred yuan?" Ivanqiu widened his eyes and looked at Hongshi's two fingers stretched out.

Ivanqiu thought to himself, "How great it would be if I could find such a very profitable job!"

Ivanqiu asked in a low voice: "When does he come back every year?"

Hong counted his fingers, pondered for a moment, then looked up and said to Ivanqiu, "About March... Once, then..." Hong frowned and said, "July, to the Spring Festival, yes, I will come back three times a year."

Yi Jiahua threw the soil in his hand to the side and said, "He comes back occasionally and always comes to invite us to drink. He told me that if there are people he knows there, he should go out. Those who stay here can only starve to death. On the surface, it means that they are close to home and the Gu family, but there is no money available. What? Do you want to go?"

"I really... have this idea."

Of course Ivanqiu really wanted to go there. He didn't have much savings on hand, and the current marriage was imminent.

When he was still at the dining table, his grandfather had lined up a board to Li Simeng's father and said, "Marriage is not a joke. You have to build a house before you can hold a banquet. It is necessary to have a place to live in the daughter-in-law who passes the house."

Grandpa had already spoken, so if this matter was not settled, the marriage would be impossible.

Thinking of these headaches and brains, Ivanqiu is often worried that he can't sleep on the sun and sleep on the night.

Now that I have heard of such a news that I can make a lot of money, it is naturally impossible to let it go.

Ivanqiu wiped off the sweat stains on his face with a towel wrapped around his shoulders and looked at the horizon.

"I don't know if Li Si dreamed of it?"

The eldest brother looked at Ivanqiu and spoke, asking, "How is your relationship with Eryato?"

"Hi, that's all, what else can I do? The door hasn't been passed yet!" Ivanqiu bent down and continued to dig the soil.

"I heard that, too, just a few days ago, the two sisters went to Dongguan together." Hongshi muttered.

Iwanjiang said with some jokingness: "Wanqiu? Why don't you go? There is a way for the two of them to take care of them in the same place."

"I... I didn't know she was going before this, but I just told me when I was going there later. As for what, let's talk about it later." Ivanqiu continued to ask, "Who do you know how long it will take to transfer from the city to Shenzhen?"

The eldest brother suddenly asked, "Didn't you ask Erya to leave an address?"

"Sure, yes, then you can't confirm where it is until she writes me."

The eldest brother and everyone present were silent, but instead waved the hoe in his hand hard and kept digging the foundation.

The eldest brother looked up at the sky in the distance, took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and smoked it "click" there.

During the smoking process, he may have been choked, coughed for a while, blushed, and squatted on the ground with difficulty, supporting his whole body with his hands to avoid falling forward.

Suddenly someone in the audience said in a low voice.

“It’s on fire.”

Everyone subconsciously looked up and looked around.

My sister-in-law's voice sounded again and exclaimed: "Look at there..." My sister-in-law pointed in the direction of the village.

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by his sister-in-law at the same time, and saw the rolling smoke rising into the sky, and the charred debris in the sky kept floating and rushing around.

When people are still wondering whether someone will deal with the opinions of straw or something.

The eldest brother said affirmatively: "It's definitely the house that was burned." As soon as he finished speaking.

Then I heard a rushing scream from the village to the outside, and the voice seemed tired, hoarse and panic, "Help, help! It's on fire, someone is trapped inside! Come on!"

The eldest brother climbed out of the ground outside the pit, and didn't bother to pull off the robe on his body, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of smoking in the village.

"Ah! It's on fire, hurry up... Go and save people!"

Ivana said as she climbed up from the pit. Because the pit was a bit deep, my second sister-in-law ran forward and took a lot of effort to pull Ivana out.

Ivanjiang threw down the hoe in his hand and ran in with his elder brother. Ivanqiu quickly chased after him.

All the people chatting at the entrance of the village ran to the place where the smoke rose when they heard the sound of crying for help.

Some went home to pick up buckets, some were already running towards the pool outside the entrance of the village, and some were already carrying water to trot into the village. The filled buckets were also swaying with people all the way.

Because the fire was too big, people could only extinguish the flames that were constantly devouring out. However, since most of the houses in the village were constructed of mountain wood, the fire continued to spread around with the blessing of dry fire and fire.

The heat waves caused by the flames burning the house indirectly swept around wave after wave.

The houses in the village were all next to each other, and the fire ignited.

With the wind, the fire will burn even more vigorously. The fire is like waves, leaving only ruins and broken beams wherever it passes.

People could only watch another house being swallowed by the fire again, and could only stand in the distance and pray silently, "A rainstorm comes, a rainstorm comes."

There were constant bursts in the fire, and the burned beams also broke, and the tiles on the roof tilted down instantly, burying the fire under the tiles. However, the fact was not as good as expected. The falling tiles poured into the gaps between the wooden beams, and the fire became a little smaller.

Someone was crying and shouting in front of the fire room, and the owner collapsed to the ground, and in severe cases he would fall into a coma.

The shouts of fire-fighting, crying, panic screams sounded everywhere, and the scene was in chaos.

"It's important to save people." A man's voice rang.

"Where?" A quick voice rang out again.

"Here...here...people are here."

Someone ran out from behind the house regardless of the burning wooden beams above his head and shouted.

"Let's find a stick to pry the stones in the window and it's inside."

Ivanqiu followed everyone around looking for crowbars. Ivanjiang didn't know where to get an iron pry and shouted from a distance, "Go away, come away the crowbar."

Then he raised the crowbar high above his shoulders and rolled the crowbar straight onto the stone. The small stone could not withstand the impact of the crowbar and was directly shaken to the ground. Every time Ivanjiang speeded up, he could always bring out a lot of stones, and the opening of the window was dug out half a person's height.

The middle-aged man who stood aside seemed very anxious, got in and carried the child out of it.

The child had no reaction at this time, but just closed his eyes tightly, and his hands and feet were hanging on the side under the arms of the middle-aged man.

The little boy's father held the little boy and rushed to the entrance of the village. The neighbors who were fetching water inside gave up a passage. The little boy's father kept shouting his son's name "Yongfei...Yongfei?"

No matter how he called his younger son, he always looked like he did not answer or opened his eyes. His hands and feet were shaking back and forth with the middle-aged man's running.

"Son! Wake up! Dad needs you! Wake up quickly?"

The son still woke up, his hands trembled constantly, and he became very excited. The barefoot doctor who was called by someone came to meet the father and son who were about to run out as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village.

The barefoot doctor took the child and placed it on the flat ground, then stretched out two fingers and carefully checked the pulse on the child's wrist.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Don't cry, don't be anxious, he was just suffocating temporarily. After I gave him a shot, it would be fine."

Ivanshan wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, sobbing in a low voice.

The barefoot doctor pulled out a silver needle, lit the lighter, put the needle on the fire and baked it back and forth. After the silver needle became cold, he put a needle on the little boy's people, slowly rotated the silver needle. After a while, the little boy's eyelids slightly opened.

He turned his head weakly and looked at his parents who were still sobbing.

Ivanjiang knelt down on both knees and said to his son: "What do you want to eat, Dad will buy it for you."

Yi Yongfei was so weak that he didn't speak.

The barefoot doctor said, "Hurry up, go find water to drink it, just change the air in your lungs."

Ivanshan's wife handed over a bowl of water from beside her, "Hurry, give it to your son."

Ivanshan carefully helped Iyongfei lying flat on the ground, leaned on his broad shoulders, and slowly brought water into his son's mouth.

The fire did not mean to subside, and the southeast wind hanged, and the flames continued to spread to the southeast.
Chapter completed!
