Chapter 351 Building a House

Chen Qing has learned her lesson and is no longer making promises to others lightly, lest she forget them herself in her busy schedule.

As for building a room for He Yuanjian, it was Zhang Dongmei's father who chose it, and it was Zhang's father who applied for it himself on his second visit.

It was all for his son.

His son and the widow had become very close, and he wanted his son to go to the city to work.

Even during the busy farming season, she wouldn't allow her son to fawn over the widow at home!
The reason he sent his son to the city to build a house was because one of his son's classmates had a father who was good at building houses, and they could form a small team to work in the city.

Mr. Zhang had already discussed it with his daughter, and they decided to let their son see more of the city's prosperity and make him fall in love with the outside world.

Zhang Dongmei agreed.

But I feel the probability is very small.

Her younger brother has always been a person of his own mind; once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it.

He liked widows because they were educated youth sent to the countryside, talented, and among the last batch of college students.

Her brother's grades were average, but he had been infatuated with female classmates who had good grades since he was a child.

When he was little, he was the follower of the top girl in his grade until junior high school, when his classmate dropped out of school and he stopped being her little brother.

Unexpectedly, when she was feeling romantic, she found another educated youth.

Zhang Dongmei didn't know how to persuade her anymore, because she felt that the woman was quite nice and that her brother was the one who got the better deal.

But while her parents doted on her, they weren't open-minded enough to accept that their son had fallen in love with a widow ten years his senior.

When Zhang Dongmei and her younger brother came to the city, she repeatedly told him, "That's someone your sister is very grateful to. You have to make sure their house is well taken care of, understand?"

"I know, I know." Zhang Dongfei patted his chest and assured her, "Sister, don't worry, I'll do a good job."

They arrived at the courtyard in a group, with He Yuxiang supervising the work.

He took leave.

Chen Qing initially refused, until He Yuxiang said, "I can still get two 100s even if I don't go to school."

Chen Qing was impressed by his display of skill.

So I didn't try to persuade them any further.

He Yuxiang supervised them to ensure they didn't cut corners or slack off; at such a young age, they already had the demeanor of capitalists.

He Yuxiang felt that his aunt paid him a lot of money, one yuan a day, and because of the hot weather, she only made him work for seven hours!

From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.

From 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

He Yuxiang didn't want them to think city people were easy to fool, so he wore a fisherman's hat and kept a stern face as he looked at them.

Not only did he have a stern face, but he also secretly learned!
He Yuxiang believes that there is a housing shortage now, and building houses can also make money. It is also a skill, and it is always good to have more skills. The more you learn, the better you can find a job when you grow up.

He was aloof and didn't like to talk to others. He also wandered around the scene, which perfectly fit the stereotype that city people are not easy to mess with.

Seeing He Yuxiang's attitude, Chen Qing could only think: That's just a few individuals.

Zhang Dongmei would take her younger brother to the movies when she had a spare moment amidst his busy schedule.

Zhang Dongfei enjoyed watching it very much.

Zhang Dongmei took her younger brother to the zoo again, which made Zhang Dongfei even happier.

She kept taking her younger brother around, and her mother-in-law started yelling at her.

After hearing this, Zhang Dongfei stopped going out with his sister.

Zhang Dongmei was both angry and aggrieved.

Zhang Dongfei and Qin's wife were chatting at the alley entrance when Zhang Dongfei came to his sister's house and said, "Actually, we didn't end up together. She thinks being with me is too much trouble. I'm still in the stage of pursuing her."

"Then Dad said you two are in a relationship!"

“I was playing in the river with her daughter that day when I tripped over something and nearly choked to death. She saved me.” Zhang Dongfei sighed, “I’m not even an adult yet. In her eyes, I’m just a child.”

Zhang Dongmei felt that her younger brother had also had a hard time: "Why don't you find someone else you like? Aren't there many educated youths in the village? And the top student in your grade that you liked before is also quite good."

“The top student in the grade has already had two children,” Zhang Dongfei said. Zhang Dongmei’s breath hitched.

Suddenly I felt a pressure on my chest, and I couldn't breathe properly.

"I think she was only a year older than you, right?"

"Yes, I heard once that she had given birth, so I gave her a pound of high-gluten flour. When I was there, her husband didn't react at all and just happily took my high-gluten flour. But later I heard that she was beaten up by her husband. She was still in her postpartum period at that time!"

Zhang Dongfei gritted his teeth at the thought, his eyes even turning red.

He doesn't love her.

It's just pure heartache.

They were friends for so many years, and yet she was tortured like that...

The two siblings remained silent.

Xiao Yu said angrily, "That bad guy who beats his wife at will is no human being. If I ever run into him, I'll let Xiao Hei bite him!"

Zhang Dongmei and Zhang Dongfei both looked at the little boy puffing up his cheeks at the door.

Zhang Dongmei was both amused and exasperated: "Xiaoyu, why did you suddenly come?"

"I came to see Brother Dongfei. I want to give him a bottle of soda." Xiaoyu gave him a bottle of Beibingyang soda.

Zhang Dongfei quickly declined, saying, "No need, no need."

“Yes! I’ve learned your labor methods, and I’ve already gotten third place in the labor class. If I get first place, I can go back to the competition.”

Xiao Yu, full of fighting spirit, handed the Arctic Ocean soda to him again.

Zhang Dongfei looked at his sister.

Zhang Dongmei nodded: "You can keep it."

Zhang Dongfei immediately grinned and took the soda. It was ice-cold. He took a sip and his eyes lit up: "You city people live such a good life."

Then, thinking of the city kids in the alley who didn't look much different from the city kids, she changed her words and said, "Xiaoyu, you're living a really good life."

"Yes, it's my aunt and uncle who have made my life very good." Xiaoyu smiled sweetly.

Zhang Dongfei ruffled her hair, thinking that five-year-old Xiaoyu was really well raised.

He followed Xiaoyu back to the courtyard and asked, "What's your brother doing?"

"Cook."

"That's fine."

It's lunch break time now.

The three of them rested in the shade.

When the father and son saw Zhang Dongfei's Arctic Ocean soda, they asked, "Did your sister buy you soda?"

"No."

Zhang Dongfei shook his head.

He didn't explain who gave it to them, but he gave the father and son a sip as well.

The father and son drank until they felt completely refreshed. It was indeed better in the city; everything was there, even the water tasted so sweet.

He Yuxiang called them over to eat after he had steamed the rice.

The Chen family doesn't provide vegetables, but they do provide rice.

So the three workers ate rice with pickled vegetables.

This was already a very good meal for them.

In rural areas, people generally eat coarse grains, and only during the double harvest season can they eat white rice.

After the three of them had eaten their fill and rested for a while, they began to work.

He Yuxiang continued to wear his fisherman's hat and followed them to learn how to build houses.
