Chapter 169: Three-room Pan Kang

It doesn't matter if he pays twenty more coins. He is willing to pay ten more coins.

A Qing fell ill once, and it cost him only forty or fifty cents to pay for a doctor and medicine. In comparison, the hundreds of cents for this kang was simply a bargain.

"Okay, okay, what should be taken, what should be taken." Zhuang San smiled and narrowed his eyes, nodding after Liu Da.

When people entered the house, Liu Da said, "Okay, have you put away all the things inside? Are you sure there is nothing valuable? When the work is done, don't say you lost anything, and you come to the door again. , our brothers don’t recognize it.”

Liu Da has an upright temperament, and always talks ugly things about him when he is working.

This kang dish is a craft work, but you can't let the owner watch it being done in the room, so no matter which house it is, someone has to clean the room before starting the work.

"That's it. It's all collected. That's what you're doing." Zhuang San sighed, nodded and left the house.

"Let's get to work."

Now that he is here, Liu Da is not prepared to make things difficult for others. He looks rough but is actually careful and can do all the work beautifully. It is also because of this that the business of his Pankang Team can be so good.

Zhuang San went out of the house to close the courtyard door. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the daughter-in-law of Liu Kanzi's family next door skulking towards him and stretching her head.

He felt very bored after looking at it.

This is another time to see what happened at home and come to see the fun!

Zhuang San was not happy, so he simply walked outside and asked Liu Kanzi's house, "What are you looking at? Do you see clearly? Do you want to come over and have a look?"

This was a strange thing to say, and Liu Kanzi's wife couldn't stand it either. She immediately spat and returned to her yard, but the door slammed and made a loud noise, causing Liu Kanzi inside to yell and curse.

In a busy morning, the men from the construction team went back and forth in the house and courtyard several times, using up all the mud bricks they brought. When Liu Da came out again, the fire pit had been completed.

Zhuang San went in again and saw that the original wooden bed in the house had been moved to one side. Where the bed used to be, a long square brick was built. The height was slightly higher than the bed, but it did not affect people. Sit on it.

"That's it. You go back and light the fire yourself and try it." Liu Da spoke firmly and had nothing to explain. He directly mentioned the money matter, "One hundred and twenty coins."

Only then did Zhuang San react, and hurriedly ran to Wu, took out the money and delivered it to Liu Da.

The money was a relief, and Liu Da felt better. He wanted Zhuang San to remember the girl well, so he considered his tone and asked the brothers to go out first, leaving only him and Zhuang San in the room. , then said: "Just because of the bad things you did before, I just don't want to come and make a kang for your family."

Zhuang San understood that what he had done before had been criticized by many people. At this time, he was so dull that he didn't make any difference and just waited to be lectured.

"But who can make this girl have such a good heart? Seeing that your child is weak, she came to my place to invite me." Liu Da said word by word, and saw Zhuang San's eyes widen in disbelief, and showed a somewhat ashamed expression. Come on, I nodded slightly in my mind.

This guy is not that hopeless.

"Just remember this kindness and don't do anything shameful in the future. Otherwise, girl, if you don't mind, I will teach you a lesson!"

Zhuang San had vaguely felt before that there must be some reason why Liu Da took the initiative to come to the door that he didn't know, but who would have thought that it was Zhuang Keqing who was helping behind the scenes. Now he felt a mixture of guilt and gratitude, even for a tall and strong man. moistened his eyes.

"No more talking, that's it."

Liu Da didn't bother to look at him like this. He just said something and left the room without anyone responding.

Not long after, Zhuang San heard his rough voice greeting his brothers and the sound of the wooden wheels of the cart going away. It wasn't until Wu took the child into the house and called him in a low voice several times that he turned back.

god.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you so stunned?" Mrs. Wu didn't know what Liu Da said just now. She just looked at the freshness of the kang head, tilted her buttocks, and sat up.

"It's really good. This height is more suitable than a bed." Wu was anxious to try the fire kang, so she ordered Zhuang San to light the fire.

But after she urged him several times, her man still stood still. Wu looked up and saw that Zhuang San's eyes were red, and he was confused.

"What's wrong with you? Shouldn't you be happy when the kang is ready? Why do you show up with such a face?"

"Do you know why Liu Da is here today?" Zhuang San only asked without raising his head.

Wu couldn't guess, so she shook her head and motioned for the man to continue.

"It was the niece of the eldest family who made a special trip to find him, saying that she came to help us beg for Ah Qing." Zhuang San's voice was hoarse, showing a hint of fatigue that he had never experienced before.

Mrs. Wu was also stunned. Yesterday she complained that the man couldn't seize the opportunity to marry her eldest niece. Unexpectedly, the man in the first room looked cold but his heart was warm, so she put the matter in her heart when she turned around. Listen again

The meaning behind the man's words was that the other party had done this good deed without letting his family know about it.

She came from a poor family and had to snatch every grain of rice and handful of grain. She had to be seen and praised and rewarded for whatever she did. How could she have imagined that there would be other things in this world?

There is such a person who works hard behind the scenes without asking for anything in return.

"Then, what should we do?" Wu asked anxiously.

At this moment, her usual straightforward and refreshing energy was gone, and she asked her man rather undecidedly.

"Hey, I don't know either." Zhuang San sighed, "If I just come to say thank you, I'm afraid I will annoy people again."

Wu's eyes rolled, "Then let's just give her some things when there's no one in the courtyard, then leave them and leave?"

This is a way, but when the time comes, who can confirm that those gifts are from his Zhuang San family, not Liu Dawang Er?

Lost something?

After all, I still can't change Xiaojiazi's angry and calculating temperament.

Zhuang San didn't think it would work after thinking about it, but the two of them couldn't come up with any good solution after much deliberation, so they could only put aside the problem for the time being and turn to study the newly built fire pit.

Liu Da said that the kang should be lit by fire to dry the mud before placing the mattress. So the couple opened the window and lit the stove.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Tukang to heat up, and I felt waves of warmth.

Ah Qing has a good winter!

The two finally felt relieved.

Zhuang San's family used the fire kang as they wished, but the matter was not over yet.

A few days ago, the old lady from the banker's family made a special trip here. She didn't see her son, daughter-in-law, and the sick granddaughter. After hearing what Liu Chanzi's wife said, she thought they had gone back to their parents' home.

She kept this in her mind, thinking that she would come and talk to people when they came back. It was not a festival, so she would go back to her parents' house! Femi wasted money, how could he come to help people?

The family is not very wealthy. If they are always given to me and are used to it, they might come here every once in a while to bring a blow. Who can stand it?

Qian, the old lady of the banker, was not happy at all to let others take advantage of her. She kept this matter in her mind for a few days, and figured that it was time for her to come back, so she held her stomach and lectured her daughter-in-law before going out.

The two families were not far apart, and they were there within a few minutes of walking. When they were approaching the door, she happened to see Liu Kanzi's wife tinkering in the vegetable patch at the door, so she raised her voice and asked, "It's from the Liu family, my San'er's family."

Are you coming?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Kanzi's wife, who had been able to exchange words with him a few days ago, saw her and came to ask, but she scooped up a ladle of dung water in her direction, sprinkled it from a distance, and snorted loudly.

Don't care about people.

"What are you talking about!" Mrs. Qian made a gesture and hid on the side of the path, not bothering to talk to the woman. She swung her hips and walked quickly in two steps to the door of Zhuang San's courtyard.

"San'er! Is San'er at home?"

The old lady called repeatedly, but there was no response after calling several times. She was short, so she leaned into the wooden gap of the courtyard door and took a look. The kitchen door inside was open, so there must be someone at home.

"You're a mourner. How come you're deaf? You can't hear me, so I'm shouting out loud?"

She guessed that her son was not at home and her daughter-in-law must have caused trouble. She pretended not to have heard her and did not want to open the door for her.

This is indeed true. Mrs. Wu was staying in the house, heating up the kang, and letting her children play on it. She heard her mother-in-law calling outside, but she rolled her eyes and was too lazy to pay attention. Anyway, she was at home.

The man is in the backyard. If he hears it, he will go and say hello.

Mrs. Qian shouted a few more times, and when she was about to lose her temper, Zhuang San hurriedly came over from the backyard warehouse to open the door.
