Looking at the copper coins she earned, Li Mo was in a good mood, feeling that her beauty business was gradually starting, and the family would gradually improve, and it would no longer be so empty.
But what Li Mo didn't expect was that her good mood was shattered that night.
It was a night of thunderstorms, and thunderclaps resounded in the sky. When the sleeping people were awakened, the pouring rain had already fallen.
When Li Mo and Song Dashan were awakened, the quilt covering their bodies was already wet, and raindrops fell on their faces. The bean-sized raindrops leaked through the sparse thatched roof and fell straight into the room, especially on the bed. Not immune.
Song Dashan hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, woke Xiaobao who was still sleeping, carried him out of bed, searched around, found a place in the corner where there was no leak, let him stay, and then hurriedly put him Li Mo, who was still getting dressed, hugged her off the bed and put it in a corner, then hurried back to tear off the quilt and sheets and put them in a dry place.
By the time Song Dashan went to the corner to take shelter from the rain, he was already soaked through.
Xiaobao wasn't very wet, just in case, Li Mo quickly went to the closet to find some dry clothes to help Xiaobao change into so as not to catch a cold, and then urged Song Dashan to change into dry clothes as well.
Song Dashan took the dry clothes and went to the main room to change.
The main room was not much better either, it also leaked badly, and there was already water on the ground.
Looking at the leaking roof, Song Dashan sighed heavily.
When he came back, he had no place to live, and he didn’t have much money. It happened that this house was going to be sold. Because it was dilapidated, it was cheap, and it was suitable for Song Dashan, so he bought it without thinking about it. It rained, so I didn't know that the roof was rotten like this.
At this time, we must repair the house first. The rainy season will soon come, and there will be a lot of rain. If we don't repair it, the house may not be able to accommodate people.
Li Mo also thought about this, and asked Shen Shen, "Brother Dashan, how much does it cost to repair this house?"
Song Dashan thought about it in his heart. If he only needed to repair the roof, he would have to chop some bamboo, get some straw and mud. More than 300 texts.
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, she now has more than a tael of silver left over from the jade pawn last time, if it costs a lot of money to repair the house, it is estimated that she will not even have money for food in the future, and how to live in the future will be a problem.
Song Dashan looked at Li Mo and comforted him, "Don't worry, tomorrow I'll go to Changbang and some people with good relations in the same village for help, and it can be repaired in a day if you hurry up."
Li Mo nodded, it's enough to get through tonight.
However, at this moment, a "bang" suddenly sounded in my ears, like the sound of something collapsing.
Song Dashan's heart skipped a beat, he glanced at Li Mo, and immediately ran out of the room, only to find that the kitchen had collapsed.
Li Mo also ran out with Xiao Bao in her arms, seeing the collapsed kitchen, her heart sank.
Song Dashan didn't care about looking at the kitchen, and immediately found a broken sack from the corner to cover Li Mo and Xiaobao's heads, and led them out of the house, "Li Mo, you take Xiaobao to Aunt Zhao's house right away, the house doesn't want you now. Waiting." After speaking, he entered the room by himself, and asked Li Mo as he walked, "Do you want to bring anything?"
Li Mo didn't have time to pull him, seeing that he had already entered the room, she immediately shouted: "Brother Dashan, come out quickly, don't take anything."
Song Dashan didn't come out immediately, but came out after a while, holding a big bag in his hand.
"Come on, let's take shelter at Aunt Zhao's house tonight."
The three of Li Mo went to Aunt Zhao's house and knocked on the door, and someone came out to open the door immediately. Zhao Changbang who opened the door was surprised when he saw the three members of Song Dashan's family, and hurriedly pulled them in, "What's wrong with you? Come in quickly!"
The three of Song Dashan entered the main room of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family got up. The candles were lit in the main room, and the light was a little weak. The whole family was very worried when they saw Li Mo and the three of them. Aunt Zhao immediately arranged for the two daughters-in-law to cook Order ginger soup for the three of them to go to the cold.
Then let Li Mo take Xiaobao to Qinhua House to change clothes, so as not to catch a cold.
Also ask Song Dashan to go to Zhao Changbang to find a change of clothes.
Seeing Li Mo and Xiaobao went to change clothes, Song Dashan told the Zhao family what happened tonight, "Uncle, aunt, the house is leaking badly, and the kitchen is also collapsed, I really dare not let Li Mo I stayed at home with Xiaobao, so I may have to trouble you again and let our family of three stay for a few days."
Hearing Song Dashan's words, Uncle Zhao waved his hand, "What do you say, just stay here and go back after the house is repaired. I dare not live in that house anymore."
Aunt Zhao also complained, "The house of Mr. He is too old and dilapidated. I didn't expect it to be unable to hold on to the heavy rain. Hey, luckily no one was hurt."
Zhao Changbang found a piece of dry clothes for Song Dashan to change into. Li Mo and Xiaobao also changed into dry clothes. The two families sat in the main room and discussed about repairing the house tomorrow.
Zhao Changbang: "If the rain stops tomorrow, I'll bring a few strong laborers from the village to chop some bamboo, pick some mud, get some grass, and repair the roof for you. That's the kitchen. There's no way to fix it. "
Song Dashan nodded, "Originally, we only need to repair the roof, but who would have thought that the kitchen suddenly collapsed, and the cabinets, stove, pots and so on are probably destroyed.
After everyone heard this, they all understood that this would be a lot of money. Originally, repairing the roof cost nothing, but if they had to build a new kitchen and repair the stove, the cost would be huge.
Uncle Zhao looked at Song Dashan, "Dashan, this is a lot of money. Do you have enough money? If not, tell Uncle, and Uncle will lend you first."
Song Dashan's eyes were a little red, and he nodded heavily, "Uncle, I'm not polite to you. I don't have enough money on me. I really need to borrow from you. Uncle, don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible."
Uncle Zhao waved his hand, "We watched you grow up, uncle still doesn't believe you, so don't say too many polite words, let's go through the difficulties first."
Song Dashan nodded heavily.
Li Mo watched from the side, also very grateful, thinking that after this difficult time, she must thank Uncle Zhao's family well.
That night, Aunt Zhao arranged for Li Mo and Xiaobao to sleep with Qinhua, the two daughter-in-laws to sleep in the same room, and the two sons to sleep in the same room with Song Dashan.
That night, Li Mo hardly slept much, thinking about the collapsed house, heavy.
Li Mo woke up early the next morning, Qin Hua and Xiao Bao were still sleeping, Li Mo got dressed quietly, opened the door and went out.
Unexpectedly, everyone else got up and was busy doing things, but they didn't see Song Dashan.
Seeing Li Mo coming out, Yang Lanhua took Li Mo to the back yard to wash up.
"It's sunny today, and I can go repair your house today. Brother Dashan and my second brother went to the town to buy rammed earth and hired someone to build a house soon." Yang Lanhua said.
Li Moming understands that although there are bricks in this era, they are very expensive. Wherever ordinary people can buy bricks, they use rammed earth as bricks to build houses. The rammed earth is not easy to make, and requires a lot of technology Manpower, so few of the common people know how to make rammed earth by themselves. There are workshops in the town that specialize in rammed earth. When building a house, they buy rammed earth and come back to build it.
Li Mo thought about asking for help again, and hurriedly asked: "Then sister-in-law, do you want to prepare meals for the people who come to help at noon?"
"Of course, people in the village don't ask for money when they help. They all include a meal. After they are completely cured, they will invite the helpers to have a meal." Yang Lanhua added another sentence, "Don't worry , I thought about this in the morning, and I have already asked Dashan to bring some meat back from the town, and there are vegetables at home, so this meal will do.”
Li Mo didn't expect that sister-in-law Lanhua had already made arrangements, and she was very moved, "Sister-in-law, I don't even know how to thank you."
Yang Lanhua didn't care, "Thank you, we didn't thank you that much when you gave us the balm."
Li Mo smiled, nodded and said no more thanks, but kept it firmly in her heart.
… … … … … … …
Before noon, Song Dashan came back with rammed earth and people, handed over the vegetables he bought to Li Mo, and took people to repair the house.
Li Mo asked Xiao Bao to play with the Zhao family's children, and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. Fortunately, Yang Lanhua and Li Xiaofeng were busy with the work. The two sisters-in-law's craftsmanship is really good, and the dishes are basically fried by them. This made Li Mo breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise, with her craftsmanship, the workers would probably be dissatisfied.
At noon, I made fried eggplant with meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and roasted pork with potatoes. The portion was very large and there was a lot of meat. The staple food was a large pot of steamed buns. Each person had two big steamed buns at noon. , Such a meal is already considered very good.
Just when the meal was about to be ready, Song Dashan's mother and Wang Cuihua came in, followed by a woman Li Mo had never seen before.
Yang Lanhua and Lu Xiaofeng's faces darkened when they saw the person coming, and they were not polite, "What are you doing here?"
Mother Song smiled, rubbed her hands together and replied embarrassedly, "I heard that Dashan asked someone to repair the house, so let's help."
Wang Cuihua also took a step forward, and said while looking at the cooking dishes in the pot: "The Dashan family is such a big deal, how can we not come to help, my family Dazhu and the third younger brother have both gone to help, we think we need to cook I'm busy, I'm here to help you."
This sounded nice, but Yang Lanhua knew who Wang Cuihua's family was, so she couldn't just tell Song's mother directly, so she showed no mercy to Wang Cuihua, "You're only here to help now? If you don't come to help when the food is not ready, once You come only if you do well! How dare you!"
Song's mother on the side blushed when she heard the words, she lowered her head and didn't know what to say.
