Chapter 69 I am so happy now

   When I arrived at Xinghua Village where the Guo family is located, he called their village chief and told the whole story again. Guo Xiang gave a sum of money, and the two broke off the relationship, and moved their household registration by the way.

  Write down the severance letter, signed by both parties, and the village chiefs on both sides will be witnesses, and they will die of old age from now on.

  Guo Xiang also gave the money on the spot, and took the account book to the village committee to issue a certificate, and went to the police station, even if the matter was finished.

  Two days later, I took the Gu's household registration book to the police station and wrote my name on it. This formally became a member of the Gu's family.

   Guo Xiang felt a bit complicated when he got the account book, and he didn't know whether the account transfer was a good thing or a bad thing.

   When I arrived in the town, he took out the two hundred yuan sent by Gu Zhennan.

  The money is naturally going to Wang Guiying, and Guo Xiang took another two hundred yuan from him and handed them to Wang Guiying together, asking her to make up for the house.

  Although she still has a lot of money in her hands, she dare not give too much at one time. Wang Guiying has no education and is afraid that she will be cheated by then.

   "Mother, I think you'd better give the money to your sister-in-law. You are illiterate. If you want to keep an account when you build a house, how do you keep it?" Guoer said.

  "This..." Wang Guiying was a little embarrassed. The money hadn't been warm, but she also knew that Guoer was right, and that her daughter-in-law was so good, she didn't worry that she would hide her privately.

   "Mother, just let Zhendong be in charge. He is literate and has no problems with the accounting. Besides, the school hasn't started yet. Let's hurry up. Maybe he can fix the house before he goes back to school." Guo Xiang said.

Because Wang Guiying didn’t plan to tear down the house and rebuild it, she thought about pushing the mud wall and building a brick wall. The wooden room inside didn’t move, so there was no need to move the foundation, and it would be hard to reinforce it. It will be finished in a few days.

  She mainly doesn't want to be too high profile to make people jealous. Besides, she is also afraid of spending money and being poor.

  The money saved is not as good as buying more food to eat.

  Guo Xiang doesn’t matter. The wooden house is quite comfortable, and the cement is still hot.

  Finally, it was agreed to pour cement on the ground, so that it will be much cleaner. You will not step on the mud frequently. It is also convenient to clean. Just flush with water.

  Ji Changlin also began to build it. It was really made of wood, and even the floor was raised a little to make a wooden floor, which is distinctive and clean.

  Everyone came to inquire as soon as they heard that the Gu family was going to repair the house. They heard that it was Gu Zhennan who sent the money back. They were all envious.

  But I can’t be envious. Who says I don’t have a son who is a worker?

  Wang Guiying said that the housekeepers who helped to repair the house will pay back the money, and a lot of people came to volunteer.

  In the past, most people built their houses in adobe houses. Because it was purely manual work, they usually helped each other. I will help you today, and you will help me tomorrow, so you generally don’t need money, just pay for it.

   But this time, Gu’s family repaired a brick house. They needed skilled plasterers. Most people couldn’t do it. Of course, they had to pay for it.

  However, Wang Guiying was reluctant to use bricks for the outer wall, and still used mud, so he had to hire some helpers.

  But when we all work together, some people have money and some people don’t have money, and they don’t think it can be justified, so everyone takes care of the food. The money for plasterers is more, and the money for walls is less.

  I picked two skilled plasterers and a few strong young men, and the Gu family started work.

  Guo Xiang also watched the excitement.

  Making a brick wall, it’s not surprising that she has seen it in a previous life, but it is the first time she has seen it when she is doing a mud wall.

  It turned out that I went to the mountain to pull the yellow mud back, and then put a box-like mold made of wooden boards on the foundation of the stone barrier, and added the yellow mud to the mold.

  Adjusted a proper amount of water to increase the viscosity, and then a few lads took huge wooden stakes and punched them, so that they were sturdy, pressed up to half a meter and a half meter to build a fence.

  This is pure strength work. The wall must be pressed very tightly, otherwise it will easily collapse when it rains.

  A layer of tiles or plastic film and straw should be placed on the top to avoid being washed away by water.

  The brick wall was built very quickly, and it was finished in a few days.

  Guo Xiang asked them to paint both the inside and outside of the wall white, so that the house is bright and beautiful outside.

  The brick wall is finished, but the wall is not built yet.

  Guo Xiang simply asked the masters to pour the ground in the yard with cement, so that the whole house looks like new, and it is much more convenient to dry the rice in the yard.

  Wang Guiying originally had some comments, but after thinking about the convenience of drying rice grains, there is nothing to say.

  In this way, the house was really repaired before Gu Zhendong went to school.

  People in the village came to visit one after another, envious.

   During this period, the state has also sent some subsidies, but the family is only a few dozen yuan, and the average family can repair the collapsed mud wall, buy some household goods, and look after the new house of the family. It is really greedy.

   is actually not completely new, but the wooden walls inside are also very clean, plus the walls are so white and the ground is so flat, just like brand new.

   "Our house is so beautiful!" Guoer exclaimed, "It's just like new!"

   "Almost new!" Gu Zhendong also admired.

  They never expected to live in such a good house.

  These changes were made after the sister-in-law came.

  Although the eldest brother had a salary in the past, the family was struggling to pay off debts, and there was not much left every month.

  And the eldest brother is not too young, he still has to marry a wife, and he has to pay gifts. Although it may not be so much, but if he wants to spend more money to build a house, he won’t be so fast.

  I don’t know what kind of person the eldest-in-law will be. In case she is a person who cares for her natal family, then the eldest brother’s money may not have anything to do with them, and she might even split the family.

   But the sister-in-law Guo Xiang has changed a lot since she came here. Although she owes her debts, she paid it off at once and built a house. Even the older brother did not have this ability.

  So they think it is their sister-in-law who brought good luck to their eldest brother.

   "Sister-in-law, I feel so happy now!" Guoer hugged Guo Xiang and looked up at her with a look of admiration.

  Guo Xiang laughed, touching Guo'er’s little head, suddenly there was a sense of accomplishment as the elder sister-in-law was like a mother.

   "It will be better in the future!" Guo Xiang said.

   "Well, it will!" Guo'er nodded vigorously, knowing that her sister-in-law would definitely do it.

  After the summer vacation, Gu Zhendong has to go to school. Wang Guiying also filled him with some rice, sweet potatoes, and delicious kimchi as usual. But this time I brought him some eggs.

   Then I gave another ten yuan, and when the food is finished, I can only buy it at the school.

  Guo Xiang quietly gave Gu Zhendong twenty yuan, and he was taken aback, "Sister-in-law, I can’t use that much!"

  "This is my sister-in-law's own money, don't worry. There is still money for foreigners last time!" Guo Xiang was afraid that he would deliberately mention this.

   "You are growing up right now, don't save yourself, eat more, you see that your elder brother is so tall, you are a bit worse." Guo Xiang said.

Gu Zhendong blushed, yes, my eldest brother is 1.5 meters, and he is only 1.72 meters now, even if he can grow for two years, he can grow less than 1.8 meters. Why are the same parents so different? ?

   "Participate in more sports activities in school, play more basketball, and you can grow!" Guo Xiang laughed.

   "Well, listen to my sister-in-law." Gu Zhendong nodded.

   "Study hard at school, don't worry about the family, there is a sister-in-law at home." Guo Xiang said again.

  Gu Zhendong nodded, his eye circles were a little red, "My sister-in-law is bothering me!"

  Guo Xiang suddenly felt that he was a bit verbose. He really looked like an old mother. He spoke more than Wang Guiying.

   couldn't help but smirk.
