"Sisters, you go about your business first. We won't disturb you anymore." After chatting for a while, the fat aunt and the others sat back to chat again.

"Awen, you did a good job. The relationship between neighbors in the street must be taken care of."

"Did you see the guy with the red sleeves on his arm? That's a member of the inspection team. Who doesn't have one these days? It's all about this and that. Once you handle this relationship, everything you do in the future will go smoothly."

Li Xiulan praised Li Wen with a smile.

"Well, I understand, I think so too." Li Wen nodded.

"You are chirping, open the door quickly." Li Deyou on the side urged.

"This yard is really nice. It's much better than our house. The yard is paved with blue bricks." Li Deyou commented as he walked through the gate and touched his chin.

"Yes! This house is really nice. It's all made of blue bricks. The roof is made of blue tiles. It's much better than our thatched roof." The old lady smiled happily as she looked at the neat brick and tile house.

Except for the old lady's main roof, the other houses in Li Wen's house are made of thatched houses.

What I fear most is heavy rain and rainy weather. Water leaks in the house all the time. In winter, you have to be careful of the northwest wind blowing away the straw. After every heavy rain or strong wind, my father and my second uncle have to climb to the roof to clean up.

"Alas! Our family doesn't require this brick house anymore, as long as the roof can be turned into tiles." Mother Wang Chunmei said with emotion.

"Yes!" The second aunt on the side looked at the brick house in front of her with hope in her eyes.

The family's wishes are so simple and unpretentious.

Yes! From ancient times to the present, the people of Daxia have to live in peace and contentment. No people in any country have the persistence and love for houses that the people of Daxia have.

Li Wen stood in the yard, watching his parents, aunt, second aunt, and old lady with excited faces walking from room to room.

He secretly kept it in mind that when the time was right in the future, he would help his mother realize her wish and let her family live in a good house.

"This house is great. The beams are thick and the floor is flat. And these cabinets and furniture are well worth the 500 yuan spent." Li Deyou said with satisfaction while smoking a cigarette.

"Okay, don't be so blind, hurry up and help the children clean up. You can only move into the new house after it is clean." Wang Chunmei said while wearing a handkerchief on her head.

In fact, Li Wen and his aunt Li Xiulan took care of the hygiene in the yard yesterday. It seems that his parents are going to clean everything today.

"Dad, there is no well in this yard, let's go fetch water?" Li Wen carried three wooden buckets out of the utility room.

There is no well in this yard, so we have to fetch water from the collective well at the entrance of the alley. Uncle Zheng told Li Wen yesterday.

"Let's go and fetch water. This house is good. The only drawback is that you have to go outside to fetch water. This is worse than our house." Li Deyou took out the pole from the utility rack and said.

"Dad, my skills are not good, so you have to come. I can just carry a bucket myself." Li Wen looked at the pole and smiled, flattering Li Deyou.

"You're still young, I have to come." As he said this, Li Deyou picked up the pole and walked out.

"Young man, go fetch water!" The aunt who was chatting at the side greeted Li Wen while looking at him carrying the bucket.

"Auntie, are you still here? This yard has been empty for a while. My family is all here today, so I can clean it up and make it easier for people to stay." Li Wen said with a smile.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and there were very few people fetching water. Li Wen and his father waited for four or five minutes before arriving at the well.

This public well is slightly larger than Li Wen's well, and the wellhead is only one meter square.

At this time, the wells did not use pumps to lift water, but primitive windlass.

I saw Li Deyou hanging the bucket on the windlass and getting stuck, and then with a squeaking sound, the bucket fell into the well along the hemp rope.

After a thumping sound came from the well, Li Deyou started to stir the pot, and after ten minutes all three buckets of water were brought up.

After fetching water, Li Deyou picked up two buckets of water and left early.

Li Deyou is an experienced worker. Carrying two buckets of water is a piece of cake for him, and he seldom spills it.

Li Wen was miserable. It was okay to carry an empty bucket when he came, but it was really difficult to carry a thirty-pound bucket when he went back.

The well is a hundred meters away from the door of our house, so it took us seven or eight minutes to carry it home.

When he got home, Li Wen sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. Although the water was not heavy, it was difficult to lift and his hands were tied. It seemed that his elder brother would have to do the work of fetching water in the future. Li Wen had seen Li Wu carrying the burden.

"You're not good at it, you have to learn to carry more burdens in the future." Li Deyou, who had already returned, was smoking a cigarette and laughing at Li Wen.

"Dad, I'm still growing taller. I won't be able to grow taller after picking up this pole." Li Wen said with a smile.ωωw..net

"I learned a lot of nonsense in one day. Your second uncle and I have been working hard to carry sacks since we were young, and we have never been short." Li Deyou glared at Li Wen and said.

"My child can compare with you. How was our family's life when you were a child, and what is it like now? How can the children grow taller if they don't have enough to eat every day." The old lady laughed and scolded Li Deyou.

Li Wen's grandfather had a job in the city when he was young, so Li Deyou and his family's life was pretty good when they were young. It was only after the Japanese invaders came in that the family gradually declined.

In those decades, soldiers, gangsters and bandits were everywhere, and most families in the village declined at that time.

Li Wen took advantage of his mother and others to clean up the house and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to start purchasing daily necessities for the kitchen.

Li Wen bought a lot of salt, seasonings, and bowls and chopsticks. He also bought more than 20 kilograms of cornmeal and some pork. Finally, he took out some potatoes and a dozen kilograms of flour and rice from the space and put them into the backpack.

Come back.

"Auntie, you can gain popularity by joining us today." Li Wen, who returned to the yard, said to Li Xiulan who was cleaning the wall.

"Okay, you can go to my aunt's house for lunch later and bring your uncle and cousin over with you." Li Xiulan, who was sitting on the stool, said directly without refusing.

Li Wen has a rule here, which is to walk in the yard and eat noodles when moving to a new house. This is to gain popularity. Use people's blood to expel some unclean things.

Originally, all the neighbors were invited to the yard tour. But these days, everyone's life is poor, so we invited some relatives and friends to do it.

Li Wen handed the things he bought in the basket to his mother, then pushed out his bicycle and took the little one, Li Juan, out again.

He didn't buy enough bowls, so he had to buy more bowls. He collected the original bowls and sold them to a thrift store.

"Brother, I want to eat this lollipop, candied haws, and that big apple."

When she came to the supply and marketing cooperative store, Li Juan was very excited and kept pointing to the things she wanted to eat and asking Li Wen to buy them.

Li Wen has always liked children. If it weren't for Song Xiaohua's cuteness, which made Li Wen feel pity, he would not have helped the brother and sister for no reason.

With the tickets and money in his hands, Li Wen also waved his hand and bought. After spending Li Wen a full dollar, the little guy walked out of the supply and marketing store with satisfaction.

At this time, the little guy's hands were filled with snacks. There was also a small net bag hanging around his neck, which was also filled with snacks.

"Let's go, eat quickly on the way, and be careful if your mother beats you when you take it back." Li Wen warned the little girl who was looking around on the street to watch the excitement.

"I know, brother. I haven't been to the county town since I was a child. I want to go shopping today." The little girl looked at the shops around and licked the lollipop in her hand from time to time.

Li Wen thought to himself, "Hey guys, does this girl have the gene for shopping since ancient times?"

After riding a bicycle with the little guy, he took a long circle around the county town. It was almost time for lunch. Li Wen rode his bicycle towards his aunt's house.

After waiting at the door for about twenty minutes, the four uncles, Zhao Hongjun and his son, returned home.

"Awen, why are you at the door? Where is your aunt?" Zhao Hongjun asked as he watched Li Wen riding a bicycle with the little girl.

"Uncle, my grandma and dad are here today, and my aunt also went to the house I bought. I bought meat, and we will have a party at my place this noon to help me gain popularity." Li Wen

He said with a smile.

"My aunt is here too. I haven't seen her for several years. Okay, let's go directly to your place. My uncle hasn't seen the house you bought yesterday yet." Upon hearing that, Zhao Hongjun got up and followed his mother-in-law.
