Chapter 25(1/2)
Yan Runzhi raised her head and stared at Jiang Lin nervously, then moved east and west, spreading her arms for fear that Jiang Lin would slip down accidentally.
Jiang Lin checked, "The tiles on this are all good, but many of them have to be re-stitched, and the ridge tiles are broken, so you need to buy a new one to replace."
This is their old house for many years. It has large blue bricks and burned ash tiles. The materials are all very good, but it is much better than those of other families in the village.
The ridge tiles are very important. This is the part that covers the junction. If the cover is not good, the rain will be leaky. The rainwater will soak the mud underneath and the rafters tied to the sorghum straw will also be soaked and need to be dried.
She looked up at the sky, and the thick clouds dissipated, the blue sky was as beautiful as it was. The whiteness of the oriental fish belly gradually broke out of the rays of rays, dyeing the sky with red, orange, yellow and purple colors, as beautiful as overturned oil paint.
She thought it would be a good weather!
She said: "It can't rain anymore, let's dry the ridge so that the sorghum stubble will rot."
Yan Runzhi shouted below: "If the morning glow doesn't go out, the sunset will be raining thousands of miles away?"
Jiang Lin: "If it rains, cover it quickly, it's fine."
She checked the leaking area, lifted it up and turned it back and mud and covered it with tiles.
Jiang Lin stood on the roof, standing high and looking far away, and saw many people running out to shout about the leaking rain, packing, clearing the yang ditches, and looking for people to repair the roof. She was very busy.
The journey is even more lively, with a few chickens pouring into chickens, the rain in the yard turns into bubbles, the rain leaks in the house, and the family is drying quilts and clothes.
Liu Honghua was even more funny. She put on her mother-in-law's style as soon as she split her family, and she was leaning on her crutches! Seeing her jumping around with a stick, Jiang Lin smiled without any reservation.
Jiang Lin: Tell, you want to be a mother-in-law before your daughter-in-law has married one?
She fiddled with it quickly and quickly reorganized the tiles. She had to go down and mix the mud, and carried it up to sew the sorghum stubble.
At this time, someone finally saw her on the roof, and screamed in surprise, all of whom went to see the brigade headquarters.
"Oh, Jiang Zhiqing is hidden in his heart and can also repair the roof!"
"Jiang Zhiqing, can you? When did you learn this trick?"
Many of them know how Jiang Lin used to be. She was above the top and looked down on others. She was so tall now that she climbed the roof. You can't go to heaven next?
Jiang Lin shouted: "It still needs to be learned? Climb up and put the tiles on it. You can do it for three-year-old children. Of course, there must be tiles on it." Hehe, don't think about the wheat straw roof like Cheng Ruhai's family.
I feel so happy that I feel so frustrated when I live in a shack before? Now I live in a brick house, and Cheng Ruhai and Liu Honghua go to live in a adobe house, Jiang Lin feels extremely happy.
If there is another news that Bian Haitao is dead from the sky, it will be even more perfect.
Ha ha ha ha.
Some people couldn't stand her proud look, so they squeezed her, "Jiang Zhiqing, you are so powerful, so let's practice it for us."
Jiang Lin: "Okay, it's a charge depending on the situation. I'll bring my own materials."
She is a businessman, and she will never be as embarrassed as some people because their neighbors are too familiar with each other. As a result, they will be useless and offended others in the end. Not to mention how frustrated they are.
Some people are unhappy, "Jiang Zhiqing, why are you talking about money? We are all from the same brigade and should help each other." The villagers don't charge money for building houses, they all help each other. Just take care of two meals. Do you still need money to build a roof?
Jiang Lin shouted: "Then you said, I have to go to work and have dinner too. If I keep repairing the roof for others, what about I drink rainwater?"
Someone laughed and said, "That's right, it makes sense, you have to pay for your wages."
It happened that the women's director Cheng Yulian came over and she shouted, "Jiang Zhiqing, if you can, come and help me repair it. I will give it to you depending on the situation, either egg or food."
Jiang Lin: "Okay, Director, wait."
Of course, some people don’t believe it. Can a female educated youth repair the roof? Let’s cheat people.
There are naturally bricklayer jobs in the village, and even men from every household can do some. After all, the walls at home have to be built by themselves.
However, the skills are of varying quality, which is a bit ugly.
Some people are building walls every day, but before they can finish building, the front building collapses...
Some people repair roofs every day, but they still leak when it rains. They don’t know what’s going on. Even if you find a special bricklayer to repair them and find a good way to build a house, you will still not delay the leak!
It's really strange.
The same is true for Cheng Yulian's family. Although her man is strong, he is not a clever person. He said that he is very clumsy. The roof of his house leaks. It was leaking in one place, but it turned out to be three places. It was simply annoying! He came to someone and repaired it, and it was repaired in only a few things. It was not worth it to be a meal. No matter whether the food is not properly repaired, or even the food is taken care of, the people did not completely repair it. After two rains, they kept it and continued to leak.
Damn, isn't it annoying?
Jiang Lin checked her roof, knew it, and then she got down. She did decoration in her previous life and took on various businesses. She also took on this kind of rich people who returned to the pastoral style, but it was more than a hundred times more advanced than it is now. So, just repairing a small roof, a little bit! As long as you are bold and not afraid of heights, it is very simple.
Yan Runzhi patted her breasts, "Baoer, it's scary. Every woman's family can't do this dangerous business."
How great it is to embroider a flower and cook a meal. If you don’t help you, you can eat melon seeds and you will be sleepy.
Jiang Lin: "It's okay, don't you know that many of the tall chimneys are built by women? Men are afraid that heights will not be useful." She also heard from the masters, not knowing whether it is true or false.
Yan Runzhi:…………My daughter-in-law must be sensible, and nothing else is wrong.
Cheng Dabao and Cheng Xiaobao also got up at this time.
Cheng Xiaobao looked at the pots and pans on the kang, looked at the puddles of the ground, and immediately shouted, "Haha, it's rowing!"
Cheng Dabao frowned with a beautiful look, looked at the ground and looked at the roof, then jumped down from the ground, rushed to the yard with barefoots, and happened to see Jiang Lin coming down from the roof.
Cheng Dabao: “○o○!!!”
Jiang Lin patted the mud on her hands and smiled, "Actually, there are tiles on the roof. As long as you keep your barefoot and don't slip, there is no danger at all."
Yan Runzhi used a gourd ladle to scoop water for her to use, and she no longer wanted to say anything.
Cheng Xiaobao also ran out, happy, "I, Linlin, is so awesome! Just like Dongsheng!"
Yan Runzhi and Jiang Lin’s tone of asking for instructions became even more sincere, “Baoer, what do you want to eat for breakfast?”
Jiang Lin: “…”
She said whatever she wanted, would Yan Runzhi not know what to eat?
Locals usually make dry food the next day at night, boil water and distille dry food in the morning to eat pickles, boil vegetables in salt water at noon, cook porridge or stew at night, and then prepare staple food for the next day. Most people don’t care about it, and it’s good to eat with food. No matter how you make it better, you always eat it as fucked and change the styles.
If you want to change your style, wait for various festivals, eat dumplings and New Year’s Eve dinner during the New Year, eat Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, February 2, March 3, Qingming Festival, etc., rely on festivals to improve food. This is still the condition. If you don’t have the conditions, just don’t go hungry. You still want to improve food during the festival? Go and dream!
But she found that Yan Runzhi really tried to change her tricks. Even without meat or fish, she could change her tricks. She had enough steamed cakes, rolled noodles with steamed cakes, and rolled noodles with rolled noodles with soup noodles with braised noodles, fried noodles with sauce, and cold noodles. This did not include all kinds of porridge, paste, and coarse grains...
Jiang Lin was filled with joy and emotion. Her eyes looked particularly friendly when she looked at Yan Runzhi. Sometimes she had the impulse to call Yan Runzhi's mother, but she couldn't call her. After all, she had been calling her mother, but if she called her mother, she still had some obstacles, so she was still the same.
She saw Yan Runzhi smiling slightly at her, looking at her with instructions, and then laughed again. She smiled unreservedly every day, and I wonder if she would wrinkles in advance.
She said, "Make millet porridge and cook eggs." There were still staple foods last night, which can be distilled.
Cheng Xiaobao: "Steamed cakes and rolled eggs, Linlin is cute."
Cheng Xiaobao is a foodie himself. He will say that Linlin likes to eat whatever he wants, because Mr. Lao likes to ask Linlin what he eats.
Yan Runzhi said, "Okay, I'll roll a few more cakes and steam them, let's roll eggs and eat them."
Jiang Lin: "Then I'll go to the Women's Director's house to have a look."
Cheng Dabao originally wanted to help burn the fire, but now he asked Xiaobao to burn the fire and he followed him.
Jiang Lin went to the roof of Cheng Yulian's house to take a look. Some of the tiles had stones underneath, and they were covered with uneven surfaces. She knew that it must have been intentional. This was also a trick of some craftsmen with bad intentions. They could always come to have two meals in summer and continue to come next year.
Jiang Lin repaired the two leaks in Cheng Yulian's house in the morning, "As long as the tiles are good, they will not leak again. If they have leaks, I will be responsible for free repairs."
Cheng Yulian used a crooked gourd to hold six eggs for her, "Jiang Zhiqing, don't think it's too little." The butt of a farmer's chicken is a bank, and eggs are the common currency, and everyone recognizes it.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Director, you're welcome, the eggs are pretty good."
Cheng Dabao originally wanted to go up, but Jiang Lin refused to let him go, so he could only wait with his head on his back. His little face was tense, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Jiang Lin got down, raising his little hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He was already impressed by how much he could be, his mother could really be half the sky.
Jiang Lin held the egg and smiled at Cheng Dabao, "There are eggs to eat again."
Cheng Dabao smiled at her: "Mom, you are so awesome! Just like dad!"
Jiang Lin led him home.
A good letter came to Cheng Yulian's house and asked, "A woman, can she be better than Cheng Ruhai and Cheng Decai's men?"
Cheng Decai is Cheng Fuwan's eldest son, a little lame, and has learned from bricklayers. Cheng Ruhai used to work with him and was responsible for helping people build houses. Later, Cheng Ruhai became the production team leader of the third team of Shuihuai Village, so he did not do this job. Now Cheng Decai is responsible for the roofs of many people in the village, but he relied on his uncle Cheng Fugui, the secretary of the commune and the captain of the second team, and his work became more and more foolish, and even looked at people's dishes, many people complained.
Cheng Yulian's family was repaired by Cheng De, and sometimes they had to queue up, but after repairing, it was all here to repair it. Another place was leaked, and it was blocked. Cheng Yulian naturally had a big opinion. This year, Cheng Ruhai, their group of people snatched the job of her brother's production team leader, and Cheng Yulian had a greater opinion on them. Now, he naturally tried hard to introduce others to Jiang Lin to repair the roof.
"Of course, you didn't see Jiang Zhiqing stretching on the roof. He was neither afraid of height nor humiliation, so he could do it. I looked at her and it was absolutely right to look for her. Is it false to be able to hold half of the sky? Of course it is true!" She is the director of women and never forgets to work at all times.
Some women go to Jiang Lin to try it. After all, they don’t have to worry about food. Just give a few eggs or a little grain, which is more than finding Cheng Decai and others.
When Jiang Lin got home, Yan Runzhi took Xiaobao to finish cooking.
Xiaobao was drinking millet porridge. When he saw Jiang Lin coming back, he quickly finished drinking it, and licked the bowl with unsatisfactory feelings.
Jiang Lin: "..."What's the situation?
Cheng Xiaobao proudly shook Dabao's eyes. Cheng Dabao knew that he had taken advantage of Jiang Lin's absence from home to drink porridge and sugar. Because Xiaobao had no candy cubes for three days, he wanted to pick up the candy jars at home, and even if he had water and porridge, he wanted to add a spoon of sugar.
Cheng Dabao frowned and curled his lips at him, telling him not to be angry.
Cheng Xiaobao immediately held his hand and spoke warmly.
Jiang Lin washed her hands and helped Yan Runzhi prepare the meal.
Yan Runzhi had listened to her and did not cook two more rice. Before, Yan Runzhi always made some delicious food for Jiang Lin and her children, and ate dried sweet potatoes and other coarse grains by herself.
Now Jiang Lin naturally refused and asked Yan Runzhi to mix coarse grains and fine grains together and eat them together. It is the right thing for a family to share hardships. Only by understanding the difficulties can we know how to improve.
Today, Yan Runzhi rolled the cake and mixed the fine noodles with corn flour. Although the Erhe noodles cake is not as big as the lid of the pot and as thin as paper, it is not as tough as the pure thin noodles. Children bite it hard. Roll the cake and roll the eggs, or roll it with shredded cucumber, shredded pickles, shredded green onions, and soy sauce, it tastes crispy and fragrant.
