Jiang He groaned and said, "It's that Chen Tie from Goda Village..." He told the whole story as if he were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. After speaking, Jiang He didn't forget to laugh at Chen Tie for being stupid.
"Do you think Chen Tie's head has the same name as him and is filled with iron? How could there be such a funny person?"
Jiang He couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought that they had been grinding their teeth all day and still not being able to get the beam up.
This is the result of not letting his brother intervene, he deserves it!
He Qingdong glanced at Jiang He lightly: "Brother, please stop laughing at your second brother."
After saying that, he walked away.
Jiang He was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
What does "big brother, don't laugh at second brother" mean? Does it mean that he is as stupid as Chen Tie's head that doesn't know how to turn? Jiang He refused to accept it and caught up with He Qingdong in big steps: "Brother, what did you mean by that just now? Do you think I am very stupid?"
Stupid?"
"Think for yourself."
"Hey, that's not it? It seems like I'm overthinking it."
The conversation between the two brothers gradually faded away.
In Goda Village next door, Chen Tie saw that it was getting later and later, and if he continued to delay, it would be dinner time. By then, they would have to provide a dinner to these people who came to help, and Chen Tie felt heartbroken when he thought about it.
Although it is said that his family has food, it is not made like this!
"Daquan, did that young boy go find He Qingdong? Are you going to ask someone to urge him?" Chen Tie found Sun Daquan again, with a worried look on his face.
Sun Daquan glanced at Chen Tie very calmly: "Earlier, you didn't have much to do. The roof was already booked."
"..."
Chen Tie choked in his heart and couldn't get up or down. Didn't he want to breathe a sigh of relief for his daughter? Who knew that it was so difficult to get up the beam?
If he knew, he would definitely have endured the trouble of causing trouble to He Qingdong again today!
Chen Tie wanted to say something else, but Sun Daquan stood up: "Here he comes."
Chen Tie immediately shut up and turned to look in the direction of Hongqi Village. He saw the gangster He Qingdong walking towards them casually with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and his hands in his trouser pockets.
That casual look didn't look like he was in any hurry.
But yes, this house belongs to Chen Tie's family. If the beams cannot be raised and the auspicious time is delayed, it is also Chen Tie's family's business and has nothing to do with He Qingdong. So he must not be in a hurry.
Sun Daquan walked up and called Dongzi. Chen Tie behind him pushed Sun Daquan away and said to He Qingdong: "If you raise this beam, I will give you five yuan."
He had thought about it, He Qingdong was already here, so he would definitely earn five yuan in order to make the trip worthwhile.
That way he can save exactly five yuan. Five yuan can buy a lot of rice.
Tsk…
The ten yuan we just agreed upon turned into five yuan in the blink of an eye?
Sun Daquan was angry at Chen Tie's shamelessness, and Jiang He was so angry that he wanted to scold Chen Tie for bullying. He Qingdong himself had no reaction on his face.
He touched the tip of his tongue to the roof of his mouth and clicked his tongue.
"Who told you that I was here to raise the rafters for you?"
He Qingdong had a mischievous smile on his face, and his narrow phoenix eyes stared at Chen Tie with an extremely lazy light. His gaze seemed casual, but it seemed that it could penetrate people's hearts. Chen Tie was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to do.
Thinking that He Qingdong didn't come to help him climb the rafters?
"Then what are you here for?"
Chen Tie asked subconsciously.
He Qingdong curled his lips and raised his eyes to look at Sun Daquan beside him, the laziness in his eyes was more sincere.
"Uncle, I went to see the Su family's old house, and I asked them for their opinions. They have some demands for building a house that I would like to convey to you."
(Su Xue: Appeal? No!)
In fact, the Su family's demands that He Qingdong mentioned were just random nonsense by himself. The reason why he did this was naturally because he wanted to get more benefits for Su Xue and the others.
He looked around and found that there were enough bricks and tiles there, so he simply built a relatively better house in one step.
Anyway, it is the government that pays for it. If it is not built, it will not be built.
He Qingdong is a gangster, and he doesn't have a strong sense of serving the people, so it's understandable that he would think so.
Sun Daquan nodded, glanced at Chen Tie, turned to He Qingdong and said, "Then let's talk while walking."
"good."
The two of them made a gesture and walked towards Hongqi Village.
Jiang He looked at Chen Tie and snorted, then turned to follow.
They were obviously trying to give up the job, which really made Chen Tie anxious. He was sweating so much that he was sweating heavily, and dense beads of sweat hung on his forehead.
"Hey, great power, great power..."
Chen Tie chased after him: "Daquan, the beams haven't been raised yet? Why did you leave?" He looked at Sun Daquan with an awkward smile on his face, not daring to look at He Qingdong.
Sun Daquan snorted: "You are so good at withholding money, wouldn't you be just as good at going to the rafters?"
Chen Tie:......
"Haha, Da Quan, what do you mean by withholding money? I was just joking with Brother He. How could I not keep my words?" Chen Tie laughed, whether the smile was embarrassing or not was only known to him.
"Ten yuan. For ten yuan, Brother He, please do me a favor. Go up and make the faucet and raise the beams."
This is to put a thick log in the middle of the roof of the house. The person standing at the highest point of the roof is what they call the leader.
Originally, when raising the beams in other homes, the owner would build a platform and let a few powerful young men stand on the platform and work together with the people below to pull the beams up.
But Chen Tie was stingy. He felt that even if he asked people to help, he would provide meals, so they would have to put in a little effort to be able to afford the meals he provided. So he did not build scaffolding for people to stand on.
There was originally a scaffolding used by He Qingdong and others to lay bricks. It was just right for one person to stand on it, but if one more person stood on it, he might be squeezed down! This is what created the current situation.
The person standing on the scaffolding must be a very strong man, so that he can drag the beam up...
After Chen Tie said ten yuan, he thought He Qingdong would immediately nod in agreement. After all, for a rough guy like He Qingdong, ten yuan is not easy to earn.
When Chen Tiezhi was satisfied, He Qingdong snorted and sneered: "Thirty yuan, if you lose a penny, I won't do it."
Chen Tie's face turned pale: "What? Thirty yuan? Are you trying to steal money?"
"Yeah!" He Qingdong's thin lips curled up: "I'm just robbing you, you can also choose not to give." After saying that, he raised his feet and left again, not caring that Chen Tie was so angry that veins appeared on his face.
Out.
Chen Tie watched He Qingdong leave without any hesitation, and his heart ached with blood (30 yuan of heartache). Finally, when He Qingdong's back was about to disappear into the woods, he shouted loudly.
"Okay, I will do as you say. But you must put the beam up for me immediately."
"Pay the money first."
The tall man came back and stretched out his hand towards Chen Tie.
