Jiang Zhen came out to see his house, his original intention was to meet Zhao Jinge.
However, Zhao Jinge went to work in the big family of Zhao early in the morning, and he didn't see anyone at all, not even Zhao's father and Zhao's mother.
Zhao Fugui went out to work like Zhao Jinge. As for Zhao Liu, she was probably a little scared, and she never came out of the house after closing the door.
Touching his nose, Jiang Zhen was a little embarrassed, and then he realized... To the people in the village, he was probably almost like a flood and beast.
It stands to reason that so many people have gathered here to build houses. I am afraid that the women and children of the village will come here to chat and talk, and the children will come here to play, but in fact... Jiang Zhen can't see anything nearby. child woman.
Even, even those working men, after he came, all worked hard and didn't dare to say a word.
These people have worked so hard, he might be able to move into a new house tomorrow... Jiang Zhen thought about it, and asked Jiang Quan, the eldest son of the village chief who was arranging others to do things not far away: "What am I in this house? When can you live?"
"Tomorrow, I can live tomorrow." When Jiang Zhen asked him, Jiang Quan said quickly, seeing Jiang Zhen's bad face, he quickly changed his words: "Let's work harder, maybe we can live tonight."
"Okay, just pack it up for me tomorrow, where's your father?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"My father went to the Yamen to get the household registration." Jiang Quan didn't dare to hide Jiang Zhen at all.
"Got it, bring it to me when it's done." Jiang Zhen waved at Jiang Quan and let him leave. He was penniless at the moment, and he was wearing other people's clothes, but that attitude... just It's like Jiang Quan is his younger brother.
Jiang Quan didn't even think there was anything wrong. People in their village were now afraid of Jiang Zhen's terrible fear. After Jiang Quan left Jiang Zhen's side, there was even a man who was hitting a mud wall there and grabbed Jiang Quan: "I want to go to pee, can I go? Then Jiang Zhen won't come and beat me?"
After Jiang Zhen came, they all wanted to run away, but they were afraid that Jiang Zhen would find trouble with them, so they didn't dare to run, and could only stay and continue to work tremblingly...
The emotion of fear is contagious. No, when a group of people gather together, not only did they fail to build up their courage, but they became more and more afraid.
With Jiang Zhen's supervision, the house was built very quickly, and by the time it was time for lunch, several walls had already been laid.
Now that the walls have been laid, the next step is to make doors and windows, then set up beams, and make out the roof.
At this time, there was trouble again.
When people in the countryside build a house, they must prepare the wood for beams and doors and windows early, but the Jiang family never planned to build a house for Boss Jiang, and Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang’s house has been built, so naturally they can’t take it. Get the wood for the house.
What about someone else's house? Although some people in the village had prepared these things, they also had to build their own houses, so naturally they were not willing to bring them to Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Quan, who was in charge of building the house, couldn't get the wood to use from the butcher Jiang, so he could only look at Jiang Zhen in embarrassment.
Jiang Zhen had already moved a chair and sat down, and sneered at this moment: "If the house is not built, it will not be built. It doesn't matter if I continue to live in Jiang Chengxiang's house. Come to the door." Jiang Zhen also kicked Yang Jiang who was standing next to him.
Butcher Jiang had always disliked his eldest son, and he disliked him for not being able to do things or speak, but now, he felt that the silent son of the past was very good.
The people who came to help from the village all looked at Butcher Jiang, and some even blamed them all in their eyes - if the yamen didn't let them go quickly, would someone from the city arrest them all? Why didn't this butcher Jiang know how to get things done quickly
Butcher Jiang gritted his teeth, and in the end he could only ask people around with a lame leg, asking if the villagers had suitable wood that could be used, and he was willing to spend money to buy a few.
Because he was worried about Jiang Zhen, Zhao Jinge went home specially at noon today, and even came here specially. At this moment, he happened to hear the butcher Jiang asking if there was any wood suitable for the beam.
Zhao Jinge subconsciously said: "My family has..." His brother was sixteen when he died, and the family was preparing to build a house for him, so he kept some wood, and his father picked up a lot of stones and piled them behind the house.
Later, when his eldest brother had an accident and the family was poor, he also had the idea of selling the wood, but every family could cut down trees and prepare it by themselves.
Butcher Jiang still bought wood from the Zhao family, and Zhao Jinge helped him move it one by one, and every time he came to the place where the Jiang family built a house, his eyes drifted to Jiang Zhen.
He has been looking at Jiang Zhen, but if he really wants to meet Jiang Zhen's gaze, he will hurriedly lower his head.
Many people in the village are like Zhao Jinge, but no one thinks him so strange, and a man who has a good relationship with Zhao Jinge said: "Brother Jin, do you think Jiang Zhen is terrible too? Fortunately, I never bullied him before. ."
Zhao Jinge responded vaguely, lowered his head and said nothing. He was actually not afraid of Jiang Zhen, but after seeing Jiang Zhen, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and then his face became hot.
He was reluctant to see Jiang Zhen again.
As soon as Brother Zhao Jin moved the wood, Jiang Xiaomei came and said tremblingly, "Okay... It's time to eat."
"Can you eat?" Jiang Zhen glanced at Jiang Xiaomei, and then shouted to the people present: "You all follow me to eat, and let go of your stomach to eat later, don't be polite."
After he finished speaking, he also glanced at the people around him: "If anyone dares not to go..." Jiang Zhen didn't finish his sentence, but the threat in his eyes couldn't be clearer.
Others only thought that Jiang Zhen said this to want the big guys to eat more of the Jiang family's food, and only Zhao Jinge, who was about to leave, was moved. Jiang Zhen, this is for him to go to dinner with him, right
These days Jiang Zhen kept telling him that he couldn't be hungry, and he was always giving him food. Although they couldn't speak now, Jiang Zhen probably still remembered him.
Zhao Jinge only felt warm in his heart, but the people around didn't think much about it. They put down all kinds of guys in their hands and walked behind Jiang Zhen to Jiang's house. Jiang Zhen thought they were leaving.
He was a guy who even dared to beat the yamen, a man who used to be so majestic, but now he didn't even dare to let go of a fart in front of Jiang Zhen.
The group soon came to Jiang's house, and three tables had been set up here, which were borrowed by Mrs. Jiang and her neighbors.
When someone in the village wants to build a house, other people will help. There is no need to pay wages, but these people must eat better... Chicken, duck and pork may not be available, but there must be two bowls of fish and eggs, and vegetables. It can't be boiled, always add some oil and fry it.
However... Mrs. Jiang only prepared vegetables such as pickled vegetable soup, cauliflower and green vegetables, but she didn't even have tofu.
Mrs. Jiang is a face-saving person. In the past, even if she was stingy, she still did a good job in general, but today... Not only does she have to give all her family money to Jiang Zhen, but she also owes a lot of foreign debts. How can Mrs. Jiang be willing to spend it Money to buy fish and eggs
Everyone in the village knew the situation of the Jiang family, but they didn't say anything, but Jiang Zhen sneered: "Are you going to eat these for me?"
"There's nothing left at home." Mrs. Jiang said.
"That's your business, I want to eat meat!" Jiang Zhen said, holding Yang Jiang's waist knife in his hand and drawing it directly at Yang Jiang.
He didn't pull out the knife, he was carrying the scabbard, which would not hurt Yang Jiang, but it also made Yang Jiang stumble.
Realizing that if he couldn't follow this evil star's wishes, he was afraid that he would suffer, so Yang Jiang shouted at Mrs. Jiang without hesitation: "Old woman, hurry up and make meat!"
Mrs. Jiang was taken aback by Yang Jiang, and she hurriedly went to cook. She wanted to buy fresh meat for a while and had nowhere to buy it, but bacon was actually available at home.
Not long after, Mrs. Jiang brought a bowl of scrambled eggs with bacon.
Sure enough, the Jiang family had to force it... The fried eggs with bacon was very fragrant. Jiang Zhen wanted to give Zhao Jinge something to eat, but he also knew that he couldn't do anything in front of everyone's eyes, so he simply ignored Zhao Jinge. , but ate it up by himself.
Yang Jiang stood beside him and kept gulping, but Jiang Zhen didn't speak, so he didn't dare to ask for food, he just felt that he was about to faint from hunger.
And Yang Jiang, the official standing, didn't have to eat, and also made the people in the village eat with trembling, a look of fear.
Noticing this, Jiang Zhen took a bowl of boiled cauliflower to Yang Jiang: "You eat this."
Jiang Zhen didn't give him food, but Yang Jiang was very satisfied with the bowl of cauliflower. He even thought that this bowl of cauliflower was the best cauliflower he had ever eaten... He was really hungry. .
Jiang Zhen ate two bowls of rice, then returned to the room with the remaining eggs and scrambled bacon, ready to take a nap.
Before taking a nap, he specially put scrambled eggs into a bamboo tube.
Yang Jiang saw this scene in his eyes, but he didn't know what Jiang Zhen was going to do, and he didn't dare to ask.
He couldn't get enough of a bowl of cauliflower at all. He was still very hungry now. Fortunately, the house was about to be built...
After swallowing, Yang Jiang suddenly missed his wife immensely.
When his wife first married him, she wasn't pretty, but she wasn't ugly, but after having two children, she became fat, and she was always beside him asking questions and not letting him go gambling and drinking. Gradually, he became obese. Annoying her more and more, she doesn't even want to go home. He is not short of food and drink when he is outside, and he has a good friend. He is living a comfortable life, so what's the point of going home
But now, Yang Jiang is still homesick.
Although his mother-in-law is fat, she cooks very deliciously, and the two children are also very well-behaved. His parents treat him even better...
Speaking of which, if Jiang Zhen hadn't threatened him to kill his whole family, he still couldn't remember the good of his family, and when he thought about it, he felt more and more homesick.
Seriously speaking, his mother-in-law was single-minded towards him. If she knew that he was suffering here, she would definitely find a way to save him, but it was his good friend, and the little widow was not the only one who was fond of him, and most likely couldn't remember him.
And his two children.
Yang Jiang had never cared about his two children before. He didn't know how their lives were going, but now he couldn't help being shocked when he thought of Jiang Zhen's attitude towards his parents. .
If his two children were not raised well and became like Jiang Zhen, what would he do when he got old
Even if he didn't become like Jiang Zhen, he became like him... Yang Jiang suddenly remembered that after he became a yamen, he had never taken money from his family.
He was suddenly ashamed.
Next time he has money, he will take it home and teach his two children well... Of course, the most important thing is that his mother-in-law must make him a pot of braised pork, and serve it with fragrant white rice Seriously eat those two big bowls!
Yang Jiang swallowed again.
At this time, Jiang Chengxiang finally came back from the town.
He was exhausted, and after entering the house, he sat down in a chair dejectedly.
He and Jiang Ping did not encounter any trouble when they went to the county town to help Jiang Zhen set up household registration. Because corvée and military service were all issued according to household registration, the yamen was eager for the big guys to separate households. But when he went to his house to get the money, he had a big fight with his wife.
Zhu Shufen refused to give him the money and kept crying. He kept begging for a long time, but she was unmoved... Later, he was really helpless, and when he was cruel, he simply robbed Zhu Shufen of the 10 taels of silver at the bottom of the box. .
Zhu Shufen was furious, and before he went home, he packed up and went back to his parents' house.
There are a lot of things on my side, and Zhu Shufen still keeps going... Jiang Chengxiang felt a headache.
Forget it, this is the end of the matter, and it is useless to think about it any more. He should solve the Jiang Zhen matter first, and then go to chase Zhu Shufen back.
After Jiang Zhen took a nap, he went to the place where the house was built and stared again. By the time he had dinner, his house was almost finished, but it was empty inside, the stove had not been built, and there was no furniture.
Jiang Zhen is still very satisfied with this progress, and what makes him even more satisfied is that after Zhao Jinge returned from Zhao Dahu's house, he also came to help with the work, and lingered in front of him for a long time.
It is a pity that before dinner, Zhao Jinge ran away on the pretext of going home to chop wood, so that he failed to abduct people home for dinner.
However, I am afraid that Brother Zhao Jin will come to see him tonight...
