Chapter 1861

The weight of Sister Meng’s words was not light. Granny Li’s face changed several times. After a while, she moved her lips: “Xiaoyan is the only seedling of the Li family.”< br />
Grandma Zhou frowned, but still didn’t speak.

Sister-in-law Meng also knew that her ex-mother-in-law only had a granddaughter, Xiaoyan, and she was reluctant to let Xiaoyan suffer, but she did not give up halfway: "Mom, it is precisely because Xiaoyan is your only granddaughter and the only one in the Li family. Genmiao should be disciplined more strictly. It is better to discipline yourself than to let others discipline you.

Do you always hope to wait until something happens and Xiaoyan is taught a lesson by others before you regret it?

We discipline ourselves, beat and scold ourselves, and at most we only get a few bruises. When it’s someone else’s turn to discipline them, they won’t feel bad, and they may not even be able to save their lives.

True By that time, it will be too late to regret."

Granny Li was almost speechless and murmured to herself: "But Xiaoyan...has always been very good and obedient. "..."

"Mom, Xiaoyan used to be very obedient. That's because she has been living in a small village and her family is poor. Except for going to the home of a classmate who is almost as poor as ours, she has never been to other classmates. She has never seen other people's wealth.

Now that she has seen other people's wealth, she has developed jealousy and a vanity attitude. If she doesn't discipline her well, she will grow crooked. Our family has no money for her lavish spending, and if she goes astray, it will be over."

Mrs. Meng's words made sense, and Granny Li was speechless.

Xiaomeng’s mind was clear, and Grandma Zhou was relieved. If Xiaomeng couldn’t figure it out, she would rather be slapped in the face than her son would be single for the rest of his life.

In order to give Granny Li a step down, she brought out negative teaching materials and said on the spot: "My granddaughter Zhou Chunmei used to be because her mother was too spoiled and she did everything she wanted. She didn't notice. She has a crooked posture, and by the time she discovered it, it was already too late."

When Grandma Zhou talked about her granddaughter, Grandma Li suddenly shuddered when she remembered the scene in the morning when the Zhou family disliked the girl. , the girl from the Zhou family grew crooked, and her biological father cruelly broke off the relationship. Xiaoyan was not a biological child of the Zhou family. If she also grew crooked, how could the Zhou family tolerate Xiaoyan?

Thinking of this, Granny Li no longer dared to protect her only granddaughter no matter how much she cared about her. She was so embarrassed: "My mother-in-law, I am an old fool who has caused trouble for you."

"People, there are always times when we are confused. If we encounter a similar situation in the future, just don't do it again." Grandma Zhou reminded her earnestly.

Grandma Zhou probably also understood the reasons for the differences between Granny Li and Granny Li. Granny Li was not immune to vulgarity.As long as it has nothing to do with her granddaughter, she is an understanding person. Once it does have to do with her granddaughter, she will definitely put her granddaughter first.

I used to think that Granny Li was simple and kind. That was because everything was beneficial to her granddaughter. If she felt that her granddaughter had suffered a loss, Granny Li would turn to her regardless of the circumstances. granddaughter.

Grandma Zhou touched Granny Li’s life gate and sighed secretly. If Li Xiaoyan was not educated by her mother and did not correct her attitude in time, she would most likely follow in the footsteps of Zhou Chunmei.

Granny Li was preached, her face was a little hot, she nodded bravely: "My mother-in-law is right, it's all because I have never seen the world, and I was fascinated when I saw other people's families. ..."

Granny Li brought up the topic again. Grandma Zhou chewed her teeth with her. The marriage was already done. It was unrealistic not to associate with Granny Li. She couldn't look too ugly on her face. Anyway, I know in my heart that it is impossible to be a good sister who opens her heart and talks about everything.

The old mother and Lao Meng's mother-in-law started chatting "carelessly" again, and Brother Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two mothers-in-law settled their differences again, and Sister-in-law Meng was relieved and did not go to comfort her daughter. She talked in the kitchen and discussed what to prepare, because Zhou Xialong's buddy had made an appointment to have dinner at his house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

After Mr. Le finished tutoring the children, he went upstairs to teach his younger brother how to practice plum blossom piles, and then went downstairs with his younger brother holding the heart-warming brand.

Zhou Tianming didn’t know that the Li family’s grandparents had offended Le Yun. He practiced English conversation with Chen Fengnian. When it got dark, when Le Yun took her brother downstairs, he and Chen Fengnian asked her for advice. I have a problem with spoken pronunciation, so I didn’t go to the North Building until dinner was about to begin.

When dinner was about to begin, Zhou Tianming saw a large group of people coming down from upstairs and was startled. Le Yun actually had so many friends from the world come to her house?

After making a medicinal meal at his aunt's house, Zhou Tianming returned to his home in a good mood and found that his family was still eating. He also went into the kitchen to talk to his grandma.

His reflex arc was a bit long, and it took him a while to realize that his stepsister Li Xiaoyan didn’t come to dinner, and he didn’t ask.

Moreover, Zhou Tianming didn’t notice anything wrong. He chatted with his grandma for a long time and didn’t go to bed until after nine o’clock.

Mr. Yi, the head of the Tang family, Mr. Xuan, and others in the Le family also knew that the Zhou family’s in-laws, grandparents, and grandchildren were criticized by Miss Le because of their little thoughts, but they all pretended to be stupid. , as if you didn’t hear it.

Le Xiao’s classmate will not embarrass herself for others. Her mood is not affected by Li’s ancestors and grandchildren. She eats well and sleeps well. She is in good spirits.

The winter nights are long and the days are short. When the long night passes, the fifth day of the lunar new year is ushered in.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival annual holiday stipulated by the state is alsoAfter the break, most units across the country went to work on the same day, and institutions such as government departments and state-owned enterprises carried out work as scheduled.

Private enterprises or individual units set their own start date, and some set it on the fifth, sixth, or eighth day of the lunar month.

Because the brothers were coming home for dinner, Brother Zhou and Sister Meng got together after breakfast.

The villagers were busy visiting, and Le Xiaoluoli was also busy. After breakfast, she announced her new decision to her family - to build a granary, and she also calmly arrested Mr. Yi, monks from the Tang family and the Xuan family as hard labor. .

Of course, Xiao Loli’s decision to open a position was not a sudden whim, but she had the idea two years ago.

Lejia has eight acres of paddy fields. Based on normal yields, the rice harvest is about 12,000 kilograms per season. There is also dry land, where several thousand kilograms of cereals and beans are harvested every year.

The west room on the south side of the North Building of Lejia was used to store grain. Due to the load-bearing problem of the wall, only one season of rice could be stored. Later, a room was also allocated in the south building to store grain.

The Le family has two buildings, the north and the south. If it is an ordinary family, even if food takes up two rooms, there will still be a lot of room. The Le family often has friends from all walks of life visiting, and even a total of eight rooms is not enough. .

If you build a warehouse specifically for storing grain, it will not only free up two guest rooms, but it will also make it easier to store and manage grain.

When the little Loli was idle in Dongchen Continent, she got the materials needed to build a warehouse and chose an address. After she came back, she went through repeated deliberation and finalized the plan.

Originally, she wanted to wait until the summer vacation after graduation to start construction, but after yesterday’s incident with Li’s grandparents and grandson, plus Li Wenwen’s troubles, she felt that she might consider hiring security personnel to come back and take charge. Shock.

If you want to hire security personnel, you have to provide food and accommodation. The teacher and his wife will come on vacation during the summer vacation, so the room will be even more tight.

Therefore, it is better to build a granary sooner rather than later.

After a night of careful deliberation, classmate Le Xiao decisively decided to choose a day that was better than a chance one, and quickly started work while the monks from the Tang family and Xuan family were at home.

Zhou Qiufeng, the daughter-in-law’s father, had no doubts about Little Cotton Jacket’s decision. He didn’t ask anything and just went to find something.

Mr. Yi, Young Master Xuan Shaotang, Master Tang and others were more happy to be caught than to pick up money. They gathered around with great interest, studying the drawings and discussing the wall-building techniques.

After talking for a while, we went to see the address where the granary was built.

There is a saying in rural areas: "Be afraid of pig pens in front and warehouses in the back." That is to say, if there is no pig or cattle pen in front of the house or a barn behind the house, building a pig or cattle pen in front of the house will damage the feng shui. Building a warehouse behind the house can break your spine or waist.

　Little Loli chose a location for her granary on the slope in front of the south building. There is a road in front of the south building, a garden on one side of the road, and a piece of dry land with a slope next to the garden.

Under the slope is also a vegetable garden.

The slope and the garden below the slope are the property of the Liu family.

The garden in front of the south building now belongs to Lejia. A student from Lejiao chose a slope to build a granary and designed it like a stilted building with an elevated bottom to keep the surroundings of the granary ventilated.

And because it is a sloping land, if the warehouse is built higher, some shade-loving plants can still be planted on the ground below the building, and the land will not be wasted.

The property rights of the sloping land were secretly acquired by the little Lolita, and she had already greeted the owner of the garden down the slope.

As for the land use permit, you can build a shed in the countryside to pile manure, or flatten the ground to build a granary, or build a toilet. As long as it does not exceed a certain area, there is no need to find land resources. Department approval.

Of course, if the land resources department comes to verify the house area one day, all formally roofed manure sheds, warehouses, toilets, etc. will be counted as the actual house area, and the sheds and toilets will be regarded as pig and cattle pens. House area, the warehouse belongs to the house area, so you have to pay some tax.

There is no need to apply for an approval certificate to build a warehouse, you can start construction whenever you want.

A group of monks followed the young head of the Lejia family to visit the site in front of the south building of the Lejia family. They compared the terrain and drawings to determine where to build the pillars and where to build the door.

For the sake of convenience, the granary faces east and west, with the door opening in the northeast corner. The vegetable garden in front of the South Building of Lejia is retained, with only a width of 60 to 70 centimeters being used as a path to the warehouse.

The overall design of the granary is 2.8 meters higher than the lowest point of the slope and 1.6 meters higher than the highest point of the slope. The overall design is 1.2 meters higher than the level of the garden in front of the building.

Mr. Yi, Patriarch Tang and others inspected the venue, went back to the guest room and changed into a set of practice clothes that were convenient for working, put on rubber shoes and gloves, and immediately removed the fence on the slope and the fence in the Lejia garden. .

The monks did not let the little head of the Le family die personally. There were so many of them, and they were all men. They were all very capable, so how could they let the little girl do the rough work.

Chen Fengnian wanted to help but was forced to study.

Mr. Le Xiao also followed the guest's instructions and gave his younger brother homework. He first marked the place where the foundation was dug, and then cooked steamed cakes, beggar's chicken and clay-roasted rabbit.

Liu Lu’s home is close to Le’s home. He heard the noise and ran out to check and found that Le’s home was going to build construction. Liu Lu also changed into a set of stain-resistant clothes and went to Le’s home to help.

Dad Le first carried a gift and ran to the owner of the vegetable garden down the slope to say hello to the owner. When building the warehouse, heTo dig the foundation, in order to facilitate the transportation of soil, we excavated from the slope with the vegetable garden, so we had to use the Liu family vegetable garden for access.

The owner of the vegetable garden is Grandpa Liu Lu’s cousin. When Liu Lu’s family learned that Xiao Lele had bought a slope to build a warehouse, they also went to say hello to his fellow clan members in advance.

If Lejia did not come to start work, the garden owner would not say anything. When Lejia started to work, he came to say hello. The Liu family felt valued and were very happy to accept the gift from Yueqing.

Le’s father came back from a trip and began to tear down the fence of Liu’s vegetable garden.

The owner of the vegetable garden arrived soon after. He pulled out the vegetables and some radishes in the area where Lejia's foundation would be trampled and moved them home. He then returned to help remove the fence, spread straw on the ground of the garden, and then cover it. A layer of plastic paper cloth to prevent gravel or scraps from transporting materials from falling to the ground and mixing in the garden mud, affecting the soil quality.

Zhou Qiufeng first caught a rooster and locked it up. She prepared the offerings, including incense, burning paper and firecrackers, and also went to help dismantle the fence. She only did the work for a while, and some villagers came to visit. Go home and greet guests.

When the guests who came to Lejia heard that Lejia was going to build a warehouse, they drank tea, ate some dried fruits, rolled up their sleeves, and went to the fields to help with the work.

With more people and greater strength, a group of monks served as the main force, and there were also helpers who were small laborers. It took less than an hour to dismantle what should be demolished.

Dad Le brought a small table to the construction site, set out drinks and fruits, offered incense, killed a rooster, burned paper, prayed to the gods of heaven and earth and the gods of earth, and set off a bunch of firecrackers.

He is the owner, carrying a hoe and digging a hoe at each foundation column to show that the work is in progress.

After the male host of the Le family collected the table and offerings, the monks started work.

Before formally digging the foundation, shovel aside the surface soil in the area where the pillars are built and the area where the road is to be made. The soil is relatively soft and will be returned intact in the future.

Shovel away the soil on the surface, then lay a layer of straw in areas and gardens that may be trampled, and then cover them with plastic paper. In some areas, wooden boards are laid for trucks transporting soil.

Do the preliminary work and formally dig the foundation.

The warehouse is supported by three rows of nine pillars. Whether it is from east to west or from south to north, there are three rows of pillars. When digging the foundation, start from the west slope of the garden below the bottom of the slope. Make three trenches in the west direction, and the foundation can be dug out in one go.

Three pillars are evenly distributed in each slot.

A group of monks were divided into two groups and started working at the same time. The laborers were responsible for loading the soil into bucket trucks and transporting it to the main road of the village for stacking.

Liu Lu, Chen Big Face, Zhang Poluo and others made an appointment to go to Brother Zhou’s house for dinner that day. Liu Lu went to Le’s house, and his family went to Zhou’s house at nearly ten o’clock.Later, Cheng Youde and others also knew that Xiao Lele was going to build a warehouse, so they ran to watch.

They wanted to help, but there were too many people, so they couldn’t help, so they wandered around and returned to Zhou’s house.

At noon that day, there were nine tables of guests in the Zhou family, including the two drivers who drove electric three-wheelers yesterday. There were many people visiting Lejia. There were nine tables of villagers alone, plus Mr. Yi. Waiting for 12 tables at noon.

Most of the villagers who came to visit went back to their homes after lunch, leaving a few to help out at Lejia. But Zhou Qiufeng had no time to spare. In the afternoon, there were still two or three villagers who came to visit, and in the evening there were still six tables for New Year's Eve meals. Dinner guests.

Le’s dad went to the store where he bought steel bars in the afternoon and brought back a truckload of steel bars.

Mr. Tang, the owner of the Yi family, and others were very strong. They took turns digging the foundation and tying the main steel bars placed in the middle of the load-bearing columns. The villagers who helped the workers did handyman work and went to the river to pick up more than a dozen carts of stones. Place it on the village road.
