Chapter 235 Taking Back the House
Both of their rooms enter through the corridor door on the kitchen side.
The house is bright when the curtains are opened during the day.
There are electric lights at night.
Huaixi was naughty and flashed a light bulb.
Sweet and sour orange candy.
Sweet persimmon cake.
Everyone asked what was for dinner.
Gu Lixia thought for a moment, "Cut the pork head meat, ask my second uncle to come, and get some vinegar and garlic, and I'll make a big stew."
Jiang Xiu washes the rice and puts it into the back pot.
Cut the cabbage into pieces, slice the bacon, kelp (sent by Guo Zili), black fungus (sent from Yucheng), vermicelli, and potatoes.
The stew has a meaty aroma.
Gu Lixia thought everything she ate was delicious.
After dinner, I washed up, brought the chamber pot into the house, and was about to go back to sleep.
The three Jiang brothers also returned.
Their cornmeal was just there. Gu Lixia had no intention of taking any action. She closed the aisle door for Jiang Huainan and the others and asked Jiang Huainan to lock it.
If there are only family members at home, then it is definitely not necessary. The problem is that there are outsiders at home.
Let Jiang Xiu go back to the house and lock it.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen were also ready to leave. Jiang Wen had already added a large piece of charcoal to the stove on Jiang Xiu's side.
The three Jiang brothers used the stove near Huainan's house to cook, and then Jiang Wen said to put the charcoal in it last and left.
In the room of the three Jiang brothers, because there were dishes there, Gu Lixia did not allow the chamber pot to be placed there, and asked them to go to the toilet outside like herself and Jiang Wen.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen had felt that the kang with fire was indeed not cold.
The problem is, there is no space.
I can't take off my clothes, I feel a little cold.
When I woke up in the morning, the house was cold and deserted before the fire was lit.
Go back to the house and enter the space.
Separate each other.
When I woke up, Jiang Wen was lying next to me again.
Gu Lixia didn't prepare space for eating.
Hot milk.
drink.
Out of space.
Draw the curtains.
It was all white outside.
Snowing.
Almost ankle high.
Use a broom to clear a path.
Go to the kitchen and light the fire.
Wash and grate potatoes.
Make butter fried meatballs.
The front pot was used to make seaweed (sent by Guo Zili) and egg soup.
Go back to the house.
into space.
Call Jiang Wen to get up, drink milk, and leave the space.
Wake up the kids, no exercise today.
Sweep snow and clear snow.
Gu Lixia knocked on the corridor doors on both sides.
Jiang Xiu got up and pulled the curtains, and it started snowing.
Quickly went to the kitchen.
Jiang Wen first swept the snow in front of the door, cleared the way to the toilet, and then went to deal with his third nephew.
The three brothers from the Jiang family next door also got up.
Wash and eat.
The Jiang family has never seen anything other than seaweed and egg soup, but they often eat meatballs.
The three brothers from Jiangjia Village looked at the greasy meatballs and swallowed hard.
After dinner, Gu Lixia cleaned up.
Jiang Wen went to hang curtains in Huainan's room.
Everyone took a broom and two shovels and went out.
The two brothers Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiyuan from Jiangjia Village were shoveling snow with shovels.
Jiang Zhiwei swept.
They all entered the vegetable gardens on both sides of the aisle.
Then open the door.
Clean up the outside of the yard.
Jiang Wen sent the three brothers from Jiangjia Village to work.
He and his sister Jiang Xiu shoveled the snow with shovels.
Sweeping snow in Jianghuainan.
Huaibei and Huaixi followed behind.
Soon, other families came out to clean up.
Gu Lixia called Jiang Xiu, let the geese out, and put corn stalks in the goose house.
Feed the geese.
Jiang Wen shoveled the dirt and walked into the yard.
Gu Lixia saw that the speed was slow, so she asked the group to come together.
We started shoveling snow in full swing early in the morning.
The Jiang family yard is the same as the other families' yards.
It is 20 meters long, and everyone first shoveled out a small path for people to walk on.
Then expand outward.
Everyone will try to shovel the snow clean and then put it on their own land.
Nourish the land.
Before Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen go to work.
Basically, a three-meter road was cleared.
Everyone goes to work or school.
Then each family took their own broom and shovel.
Walk out from the family compound.
Walk, sweep and shovel snow along the way.
The same applies when you enter the factory, clear the snow first.
Then have a meeting.
get off work.
Come back home.
My sister-in-law Jiang Xiu has already made hand-rolled noodles.
Gu Lixia scooped up a bowl of cabbage and radish.
I tasted it and it was sweet and crispy.
Then eat.
Continue to shovel the snow outside the yard.
To work.
On Sunday, Uncle Zhao and his eldest son came in a bullock cart to deliver firewood.
Finally, the Jiang family's woodshed was filled.
When they went back, Jiang Wen and Gu Lixia also rode back on their bikes.
Jiang Wen took Huainan with him.
Gu Lixia brought a backpack and a bag.
After entering the village, they separated and Jiang Wen and Gu Lixia rode their bikes to the end of the village.
Went to my uncle and aunt's house.
Seeing Jiang Wen, Gu Lixia and Huainan coming in, the uncle and aunt looked at each other.
Very surprised.
He quickly called his daughter-in-law, "Go, pack the millet, mung beans, and red beans."
Gu Lixia took the bag and followed.
50 kilograms of millet.
20 kilograms of mung beans.
30 kilograms of red beans.
Of course, it wasn't that smooth. Gu Lixia reduced the weight by 2 kilograms based on the weight reported by the system.
After returning to her uncle and aunt's room, Gu Lixia said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, there are many families who can't accommodate us because of this matter. So let's forget about it next year. I'll ask for someone else."
Gu Lixia left after saying that.
Jiang Wen and Jiang Huainan hurried to follow.
Gu Lixia felt that her request was not excessive at all.
A group of people went up to stop Gu Lixia. If this got out, would he still have face in Jiangjia Village?
Jiang Wen's family now lives with their youngest son and second son.
Gu Lixia looked at the five sons of her uncle and aunt.
He made a request, "Let the second and fourth sons move in. Then I'll sign this note with their families separately. Move in now. Relatives shouldn't be so petty. Since you're petty, then I'll be petty too."
"You can also choose not to move. I will go find the branch secretary and the team leader to handle it."
"Look, we live well. We have also dug up food for you. You can't destroy the bridge after crossing the river for the second boy and his wife. Our two families have had a good relationship for many years." The aunt spoke.
Gu Lixia said nothing and pushed the door open and left.
Jiang Huainan has grown sensible now and follows behind.
Jiang Wen also chased out.
After pushing the cart to the branch secretary's house, Gu Lixia was asked to sit on the kang as soon as she entered the door.
Gu Lixia took out Jiang's father's account book and said, "Hello, Secretary. I have something to tell you. My father borrowed a lot of money from foreign banks. Now our family is in financial difficulty."
"My annual salary is only 390 yuan. You saw it the other day. Two tractors of charcoal. 300 yuan, gifts for my eldest brother and his classmates. Tea leaves for 20 yuan, apples for 6 yuan. Uncle Zhao sent firewood to our family several times."
"Although I get paid every month, I don't have to pay for anything. Every month when I collect my rations, I have to pay more than half of my salary. We paid 260 for the tractor."
"Zhiwen and my three brothers carried cornmeal when we came to the city. The problem is, we only eat cornmeal every day. We drink porridge, and it's already our livelihood. Living in the city, nothing is free."
