Chapter 30 Remodeling the house

 After Mrs. Jia Zhang came back from delivering the eggs, Qin Huairu also prepared dinner. The family sat at the table to eat and discussed temporarily moving to Weijia Hutong.

"Weidong, the first uncle borrowed 100 yuan, the second uncle's house borrowed 50 yuan, the third uncle borrowed 50 yuan, Silly Zhu borrowed 20 yuan, Xu Damao's house borrowed 50 yuan, and Lao Li's house in the front yard borrowed 10 yuan..."

After eating, Jia Zhang took out a stack of big black ten from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Jia Weidong.

"Mom, keep this money and pay it back one by one after our house is repaired."

"Ah, I really want to pay it back. Isn't that what I finally borrowed..."

"Mom, stop it! Stop it!"

"Mom, sister-in-law, it is natural for you to pay back your debts. You must pay back your debts. It is not difficult to borrow money. You should understand these principles that children know, right?"

"Mom, sister-in-law, take advantage of small things and suffer big losses. We, the Jia family, will definitely not do such things in the future. We, the Jia family, must be proud people. We will starve to death without taking advantage of other people's money."

"Mom, sister-in-law, Banggeng is slowly starting to become sensible. We must teach by words and deeds and set an example!"

"Banggeng, tell your grandma and mother what you want from now on. You can also tell your uncle. You must never take other people's things for nothing and do something that embarrasses the face of Lao Jia's family. If your uncle finds out, I will be fine."

If they break your legs seriously, you will be kicked out of the Jia family."

"I know, uncle" Banggeng nodded as if he didn't understand.

For the first time, Jia Weidong kept a straight face at home and seriously set rules for the family. Jia Zhang's face was stern, and Qin Huairu's face was red and her head was lowered.

When Jia Zhang went out for a walk, Qin Huairu brought hot water and silently squatted to help Jia Weidong wash her feet.

"Sister-in-law, do you think my words are too harsh?"

"No, no, sister-in-law just..." Qin Huairu's eyes were slightly red, and tears flowed out.

"Sister-in-law, don't think that taking advantage of someone else's leftovers or a few steamed buns is a trivial matter, especially the sticks. It's up to the children to watch what we adults do!

If we want our children to grow up to be talented and promising, we as parents and elders must set a good example. We should not just think about taking advantage of those three melons and two dates, let alone instigate and indulge our children, and ruin our reputation just to take advantage of it.

, it’s difficult to change!”

Jia Weidong stretched out his hand to wipe Qin Huairu's tears, stroked her beautiful and charming face, and whispered.

"Sister-in-law, if you stop crying, you won't be beautiful anymore if you cry again."

"Pfft, you brat!" Qin Huairu burst into tears and laughed, her charming look making Jia Weidong obsessed for a moment.

Soak your feet, drink the medicine, and get on the kang to sleep and think about your thoughts.

There was nothing to say all night. I got up on time in the morning, meditated, ran, boxed, exercised, and went home for breakfast.

After having breakfast, he told Qin Huairu to go directly to Wei's Hutong after work. Jia and Zhang were at home to pack some things necessary for daily life. They would not move any large furniture or anything like that. They had already agreed with the third uncle to put them in one room for the time being. The opposite of things.

After making arrangements, it was a little late. He pulled Yan Jiedi who was waiting for him and ran to school. Li Dabao and Liu Guangfu left first.

On the way home from school the day before yesterday, after Jia Weidong secretly gave Yan Jiedi two pieces of white rabbit, Yan Jiedi tended to become a little follower, waiting for him after school and after school.

After school at noon, I went to the door of the Beixinqiao store to find Lao Liu and another Banerye. They went to the Siheyuan home with pots, pans, clothes, quilts and other sundries. They took Jia Zhang, Banggan and Xiaodang with them. Weijia Hutong.

Youdao said that a broken family was worth tens of thousands of yuan, so he loaded two full trucks. After moving, Lao Liu refused to accept the fare, so Jia Weidong gave a small bag of stick noodles, about 5 kilograms, to each other. The two of them pushed it back and accepted it. They were happy. No. Food is expensive these days, and it’s hard to buy it even if you have money!

After settling Jia Zhang's family, Xiaodang told Bangge not to run around, and Jia Weidong went back to school without stopping.

After school in the evening, he asked Yan Jiedi, who was waiting for him, to go back by herself, while Jia Weidong went directly back to Weijia Hutong to help clean up.

After Qin Huairu came back, he quietly took Jia Weidong to help solve the problem of swelling in his rice bowl. After feeding Jia Weidong half full, he helped to clean up and put it away. After putting it away, he quickly made a fire to cook. Jia Weidong asked Qin Huairu to cook more. Steamed two baskets of steamed buns, and I will have to take care of them at home starting tomorrow. I won’t be back for breakfast and lunch.

After dinner, Qin Huairu packed up, served Jia Weidong to wash his feet, drank the medicine, and the family went to bed early on the kang.

Jia Weidong lived alone in the east wing. He took care of the space and prepared some things for home renovation. He quickly fell asleep after leaving the space. The whole family was tired today.

In the morning, Jia Weidong got up a little earlier than usual, meditated for half an hour, then ran with his schoolbag to the park near the courtyard where he often went, where he boxed and exercised, and then ran back to the courtyard.

It was quiet in the courtyard, and most people didn't get up. After entering the house, they closed the door, collected all the furniture in the house, leaving only the stove, and then put the collected things into the sitting room.

Go back inside, take out a bag of stick noodles and a bag of white noodles, and put them in the living room.

"Good morning, little brother." Liu Fusheng led seven or eight people carrying handbags on their shoulders to transport materials and tools from outside the courtyard gate.

"Good morning, Master Liu"

"Master Liu, our family moved out yesterday, so we couldn't cook for you. I've prepared a bag of white noodles and a bag of stick noodles here. Do you want to cook them here or divide them and go home?" You can bring it here, but you have to bring your own pot when cooking here."

"Little brother, you are too polite." After Liu Fusheng saw the two bags of grain, he smiled happily, even happier than when he gave him the money.

Liu Fusheng directed the workers to start today's work, tearing down the old partition wall, digging a septic tank two meters behind the house from the back gable, digging a trench from the septic tank to the sewer main pipe well on the street behind the yard, and installing tap water and sewer pipes.

, dig a ring beam groove 30 cm wide and 45 minutes deep around the house, dig grooves under the partition walls, and make templates...

After Jia Weidong made some specific requests, he walked to school with Yan Jiedi who was waiting for him.

"Jie Di, give it!"

After leaving the yard, he took out two white-faced steamed buns from his pocket and handed one to Yan Jiedi.

"Thank you, Brother Wei Dong." Yan Jiedi happily thanked Jia Weidong after taking it, and jumped behind Jia Weidong. The two of them ate and walked. The third uncle's family had to count the pickles when eating them, and replaced the fine grains with coarse grains. White flour steamed buns were very important to Yan Jiedi.

It's a rare thing.

I behaved myself, finished my morning class quietly, and rushed back to the courtyard after school. After checking the progress, I hurried back to school for class.

"Jie Di, help me carry my schoolbag back and give it to me tomorrow morning"

When school was over in the afternoon, Jia Weidong gave his schoolbag to Yan Jiedi, who was waiting for him, and asked her to carry it back to the courtyard for him first, while Jia Weidong went back to Weijia Hutong by himself.

"Mom, sister-in-law, I will go back to the courtyard in a while. You go to bed first and don't have to wait for me to come back."
