Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 54 Uncle Arrives
Having successfully made the old lady angry and leave, Jiang Tian laughed heartily and jumped over the small ditch in one step.
It's true, if there was a ditch behind the house, with fresh water flowing there, it would be very convenient to water the vegetable garden, rinse the mop, etc.
At this moment, Hu Qiongfang and Wang Chunjuan also came over.
When Hu Qiongfang heard that her daughter was "teasing" the lady who lived behind the house, she was speechless.
Did she give birth to a girl or a boy?
Wang Chunjuan admired Jiang Tian's rogue behavior and laughed: "That's it! If someone is being rogue to you, you have to be more rogue than them."
Jiang Tian smiled shyly: "Aunt, I'm not being a scoundrel. I just think that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. From now on, our two families will be neighbors, so we should always interact more."
At this moment , the old lady who was eavesdropping in the toilet couldn't help but secretly spit.
Who wants to interact with you more?
I've never seen anyone in your family so shameless.
I just greeted her and don’t even know her name, and I’m asking her for food?
The old lady muttered to herself for a long time, feeling that the new neighbor was not a good person.
He didn't dare to ask Jiang Tian for his half of the money for digging the ditch.
Make up your mind and tighten the fence of your own vegetable garden!
She was determined not to let this cheeky new neighbor come in and steal her vegetables!
…
After purchasing the residential land, the next step is to build a house.
After listening to Wang Chunjuan's words, Hu Qiongfang also felt that the house should not be built too well now.
Nowadays, some rural girls ask the matchmaker to negotiate with the man's family before getting married, and they will build a new house for the marriage. After getting married, it is best for them to live and eat separately from their parents-in-law.
Hu Qiongfang didn't think this was wrong because she also had a daughter. If Tiantian wanted to get married in the future, she would definitely hope that her daughter would have her own house after marriage and be the master of her own household.
She had experienced the hardship of being a daughter-in-law and serving her parents-in-law, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with living separately from her son and daughter-in-law.
Wang Chunjuan's words really touched her heart.
We really can’t build a very good house now, so we should save the money and build a new house for our son when he gets married.
As for these storefronts, she did not plan to give them to her son and daughter-in-law immediately.
She couldn't let Tiantian go back to her parents' home, and she also had to consider the moods of her brother and sister-in-law.
Having made up her mind, when Hu Qiongfang looked at the residential land again, she felt that it was a success.
"Sister, I plan to hire someone to help me build a row of three large houses in the front, and make a room next to it with two compartments inside and outside. Our family of three will live here."
"For the other two, we'll run noodle shops, and the kitchen can just be a small room behind the main house."
"It's this wall. I want to spend more money to enclose the front and back yards. You know, I'm a woman with two children. If there is no wall, I always feel uneasy when I sleep in the middle of the night."
Wang Chunjuan couldn't agree more.
The provincial road here is even more chaotic than the village. They have a strong man in their house, but their family has been robbed several times in recent years. What's more, Hu Qiongfang is a widow with two children?
Thinking of the public security on the provincial road, Wang Chunjuan couldn't help but persuade her: "When you move here, you can get two dogs if you can't afford it!"
"You're going to open a noodle shop anyway, and there's so much leftovers every day, isn't it a plus to keep two dogs?"
In this era, rural dogs don't eat dog food. Basically, they eat whatever food is left over at home. If there is really no leftovers, they can make do with pig food, ahem~
The dog’s daily meals are so rough!
Hu Qiongfang nodded and continued, "I don't plan to build a house in the backyard. When the time comes, I'll see how many broken bricks are left from building a house, and then I'll just build a row of shacks to store some firewood, make some coal briquettes, or something like that."
The two sisters grabbed pencils and draft paper and buried their heads in calculations.
It would cost about four thousand yuan to buy red bricks, cement, tiles, beams, white lime... plus hire workers.
Hu Qiongfang suppressed the heartache and nodded.
We have to build it no matter how expensive it is, otherwise where will they live?
Fortunately, this house was built to make money. As long as the noodle shop is opened, even if it only makes a dozen or twenty yuan a day, it is much better than living in fear in the village.
Wang Chunjuan slammed the table and said, "That's settled! Let your brother-in-law find someone tonight. There are many people building houses along the provincial road in recent years. Some people specialize in building houses for others by taking apprentices."
Jiang Tian, who was listening in, was secretly shocked.
Sure enough, in this era, there are already some smart people who have started working as contractors.
These people are now just looking for a few apprentices or laborers to build houses for people in the urban and rural fringe areas.
In a few years, when the domestic real estate industry develops, this group of people will transform themselves into the first generation of domestic construction contractors and make a fortune following the real estate tycoons.
Hu Qiongfang and her daughter had saved his daughter, so Han Dajun had to help with this small favor. He immediately said that there was no need to wait until the evening, and he would go find someone for Hu Qiongfang in the afternoon after he prepared the dough.
Having accomplished this important task, Hu Qiongfang felt relieved . She declined Wang Chunjuan and her husband's invitation to keep them for dinner, and the mother and daughter hurriedly took the afternoon bus back to the village.
As soon as he returned to the village, he was grabbed by the villagers who were watching the fun.
"Quick! Fangfang! Your elder brother and second brother brought a lot of people here and smashed the house of the Ma Lai boss to pieces!"
What?!
Both mother and daughter were stunned.
Jiang Tian was the most frightened.
Because she had little contact with her uncle's family in both of her lives.
In her previous life, when her father passed away, no one from her uncle's family came. After her mother passed away, someone from her uncle's family did come, but as soon as they arrived at the door, they were stopped by the villagers and were not allowed to enter.
She didn't understand anything at that time. Seeing that her mother didn't mention her two uncles before she died, Jiang Tian subconsciously thought that the two families had severed their relationship.
Later, she left her hometown and went to the city to work. Until her death, she never saw her uncle's family again.
Could it be that because of her rebirth in this life, her uncle's family's attitude towards them has also changed?
Jiang Tian muttered to herself as she ran forward following Hu Qiongfang.
From afar, a mighty and majestic voice roared—
"I'm going to make this clear today. If anyone dares to bully my sister again, I'll make an example of you!"
"Do you really think that there is no one left in our Hu family?"
"No matter how great Hu Qiongfang is, she is still my biological sister, Hu Jianjun. Anyone who dares to bully her will have to step over my dead body !"
What's going on?
This uncle (I don’t know if he is her eldest uncle or second uncle), doesn’t look like he is no longer related to her mother?
Jiang Tian turned her head to look at her mother.
The result was that Hu Qiongfang was seen in tears.
"Second brother!" Only a mournful cry was heard, and Hu Qiongfang suddenly threw herself into the arms of a strong man like a little girl who had suffered a lot of injustice.
Jiang Tian blinked.
Confirmed, this is my second uncle.
