When Qi Yongfu asked this question, both the Sheng family were stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.
But Liu Changde reacted quickly and laughed immediately.
"What? You are interested in my apprentice and are you going to introduce me to someone?"
Your eldest daughter has been married a long time ago, and your younger daughter is only fifteen, a little too young, right?"
They all come from the same village. Liu Changde knows the situation of the Qi family best.
Qi Yongfu shook his head when he heard this, "Don't say that my family doesn't have a suitable one, even if there is a suitable one, it's not worthy.
I’m talking about my sister’s daughter. She is now a substitute teacher at Donggang Commune Primary School. She is 21 this year and she hasn’t found a partner yet.”
"Oh, I know who you are talking about." Liu Changde nodded, and then explained to Sheng Liancheng.
"Lao Qi's sister married to Donggang, and her brother-in-law is the deputy secretary of the commune.
Her daughter graduated from middle school and was recruited to be a teacher at Donggang Commune Primary School.
Well, I've met that girl before, and she's okay and quite upright. She's just one year older than Xiping."
Only then did Sheng Liancheng react and immediately smiled, "Oh, thank you, Brother Qi, for thinking so highly of our boss.
However, he already has a target, an educated youth from our forest farm.
Isn't that right? I just applied for public housing with the landlord, and I plan to clean it up for my child's wedding."
Sheng Xiping has already established a relationship with Zhou Qinglan, so the Sheng family cannot be half-hearted and see other girls.
Therefore, no matter how good Qi Yongfu's niece is, the Sheng family cannot agree to it.
"Okay, Lao Qi, it's too late to tell you. This apprentice of mine is good-looking and capable, so he is in high demand."
When Liu Changde heard this, he quickly reconciled the situation to avoid embarrassment on both sides.
"That's it, that's it. I don't know how many girls are staring at my eldest nephew's personality and appearance.
I just said it casually, casually."
Qi Yongfu was not a fool, so he followed Liu Changde's words and made a haha, thus debunking this article.
Several people took another sip of wine, and then Liu Changde remembered it and asked Sheng Liancheng.
"Brother, how many public rooms are there? Is it enough?
Then do you plan to leave the new house for Xiping to marry a wife, or what should you do?"
The large alkali field is so close to the forest farm, so even if there are less visits on weekdays, you still know a lot about the area.
Forest farms are not as spacious as rural areas, where every household has several large houses built.
The public housing in this forest farm is small, and a family can be given one and a half rooms, or two rooms, which is pretty good.
How can there be enough room for such a big family like the Sheng family?
"Well, we were discussing just now. I said that I would give the new house to the boss for his wedding, but he was not happy with us still living in the old house.
Then, we discussed and wanted to add a room and a half to the east end of the house.
This is enough to live in. The boss can get married in the West Wing."
Sheng Liancheng and Liu Changde have been friends for many years, and they have nothing to hide, so they just tell the truth.
"Well, that's okay. The house will be bigger and the living space will be spacious.
Besides, I just got married at a young age and I don’t know how to live my life.
If you distributed it to them directly, wouldn't you be in a hurry?
It’s good to have you two here to guide me, and my younger siblings can help with the child’s care and so on.”
When Liu Changde heard this, he nodded. It was more reasonable to build a house.
"Then what kind of house are you planning to buy? Is it made of bricks and tiles? Or is it a wooden house like this one?"
Liu Changde was Sheng Xiping's master, so he was naturally more concerned, so he continued to ask.
“Once it’s built, why can’t it be built with wood carvings? I thought, even if it’s not all bricks and tiles, it’s better to be brick-clad.
We have to discuss this with the forestry farm, and it would be best if we can transport it back from the farm. It would be really inconvenient to transport it back from the Songjiang River."
Sheng Liancheng took a sip of wine, put down the glass, and said.
"We have wood at home, and there is no shortage of sand. We can dig some from the river.
Stones, I plan to go to the stone quarry to chisel some. Anyway, it won’t take much for a house and a half.”
"No, no, Stone, don't bother." Upon hearing this, Liu Changde waved his hand quickly.
"When my house was built, there were still a lot of stones left. Later you can just hitch up the car to my house and pull it back.
If there are not enough bricks, I still have large slabs at home. As you said, it can also be built with bricks and stacks.
Let me tell you, the large wall is still warm and can last for decades after being tidied up." Upon hearing this, Liu Changde waved his hands.
Nowadays, most of the materials for building a house are prepared by each family by themselves.
Liu Changde's family has many sons, so he originally planned to prepare some more stones, rough slabs, etc., and wait for the third and fourth to get a wife and build a few more rooms.
As a result, the third child went to join the army. He did very well in the army and was expected to be promoted. Even if he changed his career in the future, he would definitely not be able to come back to this small valley.
The fourth child is studying in Donggang. From what I heard, it seems that he doesn't plan to come back.
The materials prepared at home are useless, and it would be useless to leave them there. It happens that the apprentice's family is building a house, so it is better to give them to the Sheng family.
"Brother, I also have some stones and rough stones at home. If you don't mind, go and bring them back for use."
Over there, Qi Yongfu also expressed quickly.
"Just in time, save the time of cutting stones and build the house as soon as possible. After cleaning it, don't you still need ventilation or something?"
Sheng Xiping was kind to the Qi family, and the Qi family father and son were worried about how to repay him.
It's just a few stones and billets, but they're not valuable, so it's okay to give them as a favor.
"Whenever I build a house, I will ask the boss to come over and help.
Anyway, nothing will happen at this time. Let’s all work together to build the house as soon as possible and marry my nephew as soon as possible.”
Qi Yongfu finally got a chance, so he must show his attitude.
Besides, doesn’t this person get along with others just by looking at things?
Sheng Xiping is very particular about his work, and the Qi family cannot do anything errands.
Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping looked at each other and smiled, "Oh, that's good.
I'm still worried. You said I'm at work and Xiping is in the educated youth team. We don't have much free time these days.
The second and third oldest children are on summer vacation, but they can’t do the work of chipping rocks.”
They had good intentions, and since they were talking about it, it wouldn't be good if Sheng Liancheng refused again, so he agreed without saying a word.
"Okay, then another day, I'll hitch up the cart and bring back all the stones, billets, etc."
Sheng Liancheng didn't mention the money. He knew that even if he gave him money, he wouldn't be able to take it.
The key is that the stones, adobes, etc. are not valuable. They are worth three melons and two dates. The Sheng family cannot afford them, and they don’t look good on their faces.
It's better to rush to the New Year or other festivals and send something to others, which will make both parties happy and look better.
The more they talked, the closer they got, and the more the wine drank, the clearer it became. Unconsciously, it was almost nine o'clock.
Over there, the forest farm loudspeaker shouted that the power supply would be cut off immediately, asking every household to pack up quickly.
Liu Changde and others had almost finished drinking the wine, so they hurriedly got up to say goodbye and went home.
