Teacher Jiang and Xiao Bai Xier slept at Dunzi's house in the evening, while Zhang Tan stayed alone at Teacher Jiang's house. At first, he slept in the living room, but there were many mosquitoes at night and the bites were uncomfortable. He moved out and slept there when he couldn't bear it.
In the yard.
The grain stacks were lit in the yard, and the smoke drove away the mosquitoes. I immediately felt more comfortable. However, the mountain breeze was blowing and the chill was quite strong, so I needed to cover myself with a blanket.
The moonlight was shining brightly, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and the birds and animals were chirping. There was nothing to say all night. The next day, the decoration and helpers came, and it was bustling. Zhang Tan was busy taking care of the place and had no time to care about Xiaobai and the others.
Fortunately, Xiaobai didn't need his attention. After breakfast, he went to play with the group of Xiaobai in the village. Xi'er and Dunzi were also among them, wandering around and not knowing where they were going in the blink of an eye.
Xi'er has only been here for three days, but he quickly integrated into it and turned into a wild child, running around in the mountains and fields.
A group of children ran to play under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, and saw a car approaching from a distance.
"Which pot is it?" Xiaobai blocked the sun with his hands and looked at it. The child was tanned.
The car stopped under the tree, the window was rolled down, and a loud voice rang out: "Xiaobai, you little melon! Let's see who comes back to chat!!!"
Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and exclaimed: "Torrent!! It's Malanhua who's back to chat!!!!"
As soon as she shouted, other children followed and shouted that Malanhua was back.
The people in the car yelled: "Xiaobai, you are a melon! You are so black, you have no conscience!"
Sitting in the car were Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping. As soon as "In the Name of the People" was finished, Bai Jianping joined Ma Lanhua and came back together.
When Dunzi saw this, he didn't say a word and ran toward home to report the news.
Ma Lanhua called him several times but to no avail, Dunzi had already disappeared.
“Get in the car! There is also Xiba, who is becoming more and more chatty.”
She greeted Xiaobai and Xi'er into the car and drove home. On the way, she finally caught up with Dunzi who was running the "marathon" and called him into the car.
This honest little kid was panting from exhaustion, sweating profusely, and kept having a silly time.
"Auntie, are you here all of a sudden?" Xiaobai asked Malanhua while sitting in the car. This unexpected surprise caught her off guard. She didn't even know that her aunt was coming back.
Ma Lanhua knocked her head and said: "Why did you sing Malanhua on the phone???"
Xiaobai quickly held his head and said, "No, no! I'll call you auntie."
Ma Lanhua asked Xi'er if she had any.
Hiahia smiled, thought for a moment, shook her head and said she didn’t know.
The car took the group of them to their home, and then turned around and went back. This was the car taken by Malanhua.
They put down their luggage first, and then went to Teacher Jiang’s house.
Xiaobai, Xi'er and Dunzi had already rushed to report the news. When Malanhua and Bai Jianping appeared in the yard, the helping villagers all said hello.
“The orchid is back.”
“Lao Bai is back too, he’s become whiter and fatter~”
…
Zhang Tan came out of the house, saw them, and stepped forward and said, "Why didn't you tell me before you came back so that I could drive to pick you up?"
Ma Lanhua said: "It's not that troublesome. Just take a taxi. When will the decoration start?"
“It just started today and everyone has come to help.”
"Auntie - look!" Xiaobai ran over holding her certificate to show off. She got it in kindergarten, with the four characters "Excellent in both character and study" written on it.
Ma Lanhua looked at it carefully and seemed to be able to see the flowers. He said with a smile: "I want to get thiol, melon seeds."
“嚯嚯嚯~~~”
Tunzi also presented the certificate he received, which had the four characters "honest and brave" on it.
“The pier is even more important.”
Ma Lanhua looked at the last child, Tan Xier's child hiahia, smiled and said that she also had a certificate of award, but she kept it at home and not here, hiahia, she was telling the truth, she was not lying, she really had one.
As soon as Malanhua came back, she immediately helped to cook. Dunzi’s mother was already cooking, but there were too many people working today, so the amount of food had to be increased.
The overall structure of the house will not change, nor will it be raised any higher. It will only have one floor, which is fine and sufficient for living.
All that needs to be done now is to decorate the inside, but the original house was almost a rough house and was not comfortable to live in.
So the amount of work was actually not that big. I painted the walls, put on wallpaper, laid ceramic tiles, and then moved in the furniture I bought. It took five days to do it all, and the home had a completely new look.
Solar power panels and signal receivers are installed on the roof. Hot water will be available at any time in the future, and mobile phones and TVs will not be disconnected from time to time.
The house is not habitable yet. It needs to be ventilated and we can move in in a few days.
There are paddy fields in front of the house and mountains and forests behind the house. The doors and windows are opened, and the draft passes through. The smell dissipates within a few days. Zhang Tan tested formaldehyde and found it is normal, so he can move in.
Hung up firecrackers, posted brand new couplets and door gods on the door, the whole family moved back, cooked a table of delicious food in the evening, and invited Dunzi’s mother and Dunzi, as well as Malanhua and Bai Jianping.
Ma Lanhua looked at the house and praised it, saying that it looked much more comfortable now, it was spacious, bright, clean and comfortable, and it felt like a home.
During dinner, Zhang Tan discussed something with everyone, and after dinner, he and Bai Jianping went to the village.
The moonlight was like water, and you could see the path clearly without using a flashlight. The sound of frogs rang out in the paddy fields on the side of the path. The two of them arrived at the village party secretary's house one after another.
“Is the party secretary at home?” Bai Jianping asked.
“Who?”
“It’s me, Lao Bai.”
“What the heck, I am Lao Bai, too.”
“Bai Jianping!”
The door opened, and the village party secretary saw Zhang Tan was there. He guessed that something was going on, so he invited the two of them into the house, poured a glass of water, and Bai Jianping said, "Uncle, I have found a happy event for you."
“What is it?” asked the village party secretary. If Zhang Tan hadn’t been there, he would definitely think that Bai Jianping was not reliable again.
“Zhang Tan was asked to talk about it, it was him who mentioned it,” Bai Jianping said.
The village party secretary looked at Zhang Tan, who said: "As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build the road. I think the road we lead to the outside is still a dirt road. Once it rains, the road will be muddy and difficult to walk on, and the road surface is also narrow. It is difficult to drive
It’s very troublesome to get in…”
The village party secretary’s eyes lit up and he asked: “Then what do you want to do?”
“I’ll pay to build a road leading to the town.” Zhang Tan said.
The village party secretary's Adam's apple made a sound. He was surprised, happy, and a little unbelievable. That was a huge sum of money.
He looked at Bai Jianping, and Bai Jianping said: "Don't look at me. I don't have money. It's all Boss Zhang's fault. Boss Zhang keeps his word. He never bluffs people. There are respectable people outside. You can watch TV movies."
Have you ever? I'm a celebrity. I'll build a road for you. If you really want to do it, then that's not a problem. I'll make it clear. Pies in the sky won't fall. The reason why Boss Zhang built this road is for
Thank you to the village for taking care of Teacher Jiang and Xiaobai. Oh, Xiaobai is Bai Chunhua and Xiaohuahua. That child suffered a lot when he was young. Boss Zhang thanks you..."
