Zhuang Keqing left Zhuang San's house, but did not go back directly. Instead, he took a turn and went to Liu's house.
She wanted Liu Da to help make a bed for A Qing.
The child is weak and cannot bear the cold anymore, so making a kang is the most suitable for his family.
When Zhuang Keqing arrived at the door of Liu's family, he happened to meet someone leaving work.
Liu Da's construction team went to Sanlin Village next door to do work today. They spent the morning and the afternoon building two households. One household was a large kang, and the other was a small kang. Doing the math, in just one day, they made two
It’s more than 100 Wen. After excluding the money spent by the people in the same village to buy mud, the remaining four people share it equally, and each of them can get more than 50 Wen.
In this slack season, when everyone is sitting on their hands, there is simply no better deal than this.
Liu Da is in high spirits these days, and the brothers who are sitting on the kang with him all call him "boss" and listen to his orders in everything, which is enough for him.
But when he met Zhuang Keqing, he didn't put on any airs of being a boss. Instead, he greeted her enthusiastically, smiling and ready to invite the person home.
"Girl from the banker, why are you here?"
"Uncle Liu, I came here today to ask for your help."
"Let's talk about what we have to do when we go in. Come in first to have a drink of water and rest. Later, your sister-in-law will prepare a meal for you and stay home for dinner in the evening."
Liu Da has always been grateful to Zhuang Keqing in his heart. If it weren't for this girl, how could he have saved a lot of money in such a short period of time?
Speaking of which, this kang work was given to me for free. If I had relied on my stupid brain and learned the craft, I would never have thought of setting up a construction team.
"Uncle Liu, I won't rest any longer. My mother is waiting to go back. I came here just to ask you to make a bed for my third uncle's house when you have time."
Zhuang Keqing said with a smile, completely disregarding past grudges.
When Liu Da heard this, he immediately frowned, "Zhuang San?"
"Um."
"But you don't care about the evil things Zhuang San did before, so you still want to help his family make a kang?" Liu Da was unwilling.
He heard about Zhuang San's marriage proposal a few days ago, and thought that the girl had been coaxed by someone's good words, so she came to ask him for help. So he said, "He came to see me a few days ago.
He asked me to make a bed for him, but I refused."
"Even if you bring money to your door, I won't accept it even if you are so evil-hearted. Girl, you are young, so don't be soft-hearted and get tricked by him like this. That guy is very shrewd and has many tricks up his sleeve."
You know what you’re planning!”
Liu Da wanted to remind him a few words, so he spoke a bit harshly.
But Zhuang Keqing didn't take it to heart. She knew that Uncle Liu was doing this to her. At this time, she heard that he had rejected Zhuang San once before. After thinking about it for a moment, she knew why her third uncle suddenly went to bed that day.
The door is closed.
It turns out that at that time, I wanted to make a kang for Ah Qing, but after Liu Da refused, I had no choice, so I thought of asking myself. Who knew that the kang issue was not solved, but I was shocked by Niu Dan’s knot cutting book.
, it’s really miserable.
"Uncle Liu, I'm actually here to ask for your help for my little niece." Zhuang Keqing smiled, "Although there are some problems between my family and the third room, it won't involve innocent children."
She further explained: "You must have heard that my third uncle's little daughter was born weak. However, the temperature has only dropped slightly in the past few days, and the child has become ill. The doctor said that the wind and cold have penetrated the body, and she should pay attention to keeping warm in the future.
As a sister, I naturally can't bear to see my sister always sick, so I thought of asking you to help me."
These words were polite and polite, which actually made Liu Da feel a little ashamed.
"I never thought about the fact that there are children in his family, but I neglected it. So, I will talk to my brothers tomorrow and go and put the kang in his family's bed first."
Liu Da's breasts slapped loudly, and she wished she could help Zhuang Keqing do this beautifully right away.
"Then thank you very much, Uncle Liu." Zhuang Keqing smiled and thanked him, feeling slightly blessed.
Liu Da didn't dare to accept the gift from his benefactor, so he hurriedly turned away.
"Then I will go back first. Please pay more attention to the Kang matter. However." Zhuang Keqing paused and smiled narrowly, "Don't forget to collect his money. It doesn't matter if you charge more."
"It can be said that you refused other people's jobs and came here specifically to jump in line for them. You should accept a few more."
Liu Da laughed when he heard this, "Haha, that's how it should be."
After this matter was settled, Zhuang Keqing said goodbye to everyone and went home.
When they arrived at home, Qin Manzhi was holding Aman and basking in the sun outside. Shen Ling was nowhere to be seen, so he must have been reading books in the house.
Zhuang Keqing said hello to his mother and went into the small kitchen to prepare dinner.
While she was busy taking out the sauerkraut from the jar to soak, Qin Manzhi came in with Aman in her arms.
"How are the children of the third brother's family?"
"It's true that he's not raised well. His hair is thin and yellow, and his face doesn't have any flesh. He looks weaker than the average child."
"Hey, what should I do? The foundation was damaged in the womb, and it will be more difficult to make up for it the day after tomorrow. I just hope that the things I brought here today will be of some use."
Of course Zhuang Keqing knew that only a little brown sugar and red dates could replenish the blood of adults. If he really wanted to increase his nutrition, he would have to start with meat, eggs and milk. But in this village, only a few people are willing to eat vegetables and grains. I'm afraid the same is true for the Zhuang family.
But this is not something that her family should worry about anymore. She has already helped solve the Kang problem. She just hopes that the other party will stop asking for thanks and do something to make people speechless.
Early the next morning, Zhuang San was cooking porridge in the kitchen when he heard someone shouting his name outside the yard.
"Zhuang San, is Zhuang San at home?"
Zhuang San felt strange. This voice was unfamiliar. Who could it be?
Nowadays, he has a bad reputation. Those who played well in the past and can speak a few words have stopped nagging him. Now, who else can come to the door and make such a big noise, they are not afraid. Let the neighbors see it and talk about it.
People outside were still shouting, as if he would not leave unless he answered.
Zhuang San simply stuffed the firewood into the stove, stood up, and asked, "Who is it?" as he stepped out of the stove.
"It's me, Liu Da!"
Without the other party needing to answer, Zhuang San had already seen several men standing outside the yard. The leader among them was Liu Da, wasn't he?
Why is he here?
"Brother Liu, why are you here?"
Zhuang San had some guesses in his mind, so he walked up to him and opened the courtyard door.
After opening the door, I could see clearly that there was a large cart behind these people, with mud bricks stacked high on it.
"This, this is?"
"I brought you a bed, why haven't you moved it so that the car can get in?"
Although Liu Da didn't have a good face, his actions were serious. He pushed the stunned Zhuang San to the side, turned his head and asked his brother who was following him to push the cart in.
"Just put it here."
"Ah, ah, okay, okay, just put it here." Zhuang San looked dumbfounded, without any of his previous cleverness.
He remembered the way Liu Da was when he went to see him a few days ago. He didn't even want to say a word to him. Why did he take the initiative to come to help with the bed today?
"Is there anyone in the house? Everyone comes out when they are sitting on the kang, so it's hard to stay inside."
Liu Da ordered. Zhuang San was interrupted in the middle of his thinking. He completely forgot to continue thinking deeply and hurriedly ran into the house, "Wait a moment, wait a moment. My wife and child are inside. I'll move her."
A house.”
After that, he went back into the room and said to Mrs. Wu who had just sat up from the bed, "Liu Da is coming outside and wants to make a bed for us!"
"What! It's true!"
Wu's eyebrows overflowed with joy, she reached out and pulled her man and asked, "Didn't he say before that he wouldn't do it for us?"
"Hey, I don't know, and I don't dare to ask. Anyway, it's good to be here." Zhuang San tidied up the room, and then said, "Hurry up, wrap up Ah Qing, and carry her to the next door.
They don’t allow anyone to watch it.”
"Okay." Mrs. Wu leaned forward and moved a small box from the inside of the bed. "Bring the money from this house to that room. I'll count it out. I'll have to pay for it later."
"I understand, go quickly so that people don't get impatient with the wait." Zhuang San urged.
Mrs. Wu bent over and wrapped the child in a quilt, picked it up gently, then walked out of the house and moved to another room without even looking at Liu Da and the others.
"Are you ready?"
Liu Da called outside, and Zhuang San was indeed a little impatient after hearing the tone. He felt anxious and kept saying, "It'll be ready soon, please wait a moment."
Zhuang San got out of the house after finishing it, then opened the door of the main room and invited a few people from the construction team to go in.
"Let's talk about it first. I went out the back door for you and jumped in the queue for this job. There were several other companies waiting for you, and you were in a hurry even if you pressed me. I was reluctant to say anything and pushed the time, so you need to charge two more for the wages.
Ten articles."
Liu Da must explain it clearly before starting work, so that this guy will not be cunning and pay less.
