Chapter 52: Mu Zhiqing prepares to build a house

To be honest, there were endless strange things happening at the educated youth site, and most of them were caused by Zhu Yan. Mu Deye was so angry that he went to find the team leader to deal with it. With the team leader's warning, Zhu Yan finally promised not to cause trouble before leaving.

After Mu Deye watched the captain leave, he returned to the room and sighed to the others, "Oh my god, what sin have I committed to attract such a weirdo!"

Several educated youths couldn't help but feel sympathy for him when they saw his appearance, and they comforted him, "This has just begun. We all saw it just now. The way that educated youth Zhu looked at you was as if he was determined to win you over! Did educated youth Li say when he would be back? Maybe she would have given up by the time he came back."

Hearing this, Mu Deye frowned, looking a little distressed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then what should I do? Should I move out, or just build a house and move out? Well... I think it's better to build a house. When my partner comes back, we can get married directly!"

That's right, Mu Deye's partner is Li Li, who is also an educated youth. She happened to go home to visit her family recently, and the two of them had already agreed to hold the wedding when she comes back. Now the time is right, Mu Deye decided to ask the team leader to apply for building a house, so that when Li Li comes back, the house will be almost built.

Mu Deye acted immediately after saying it. He talked to a few people and went to the captain's house to express his idea.

The captain was a little surprised after hearing this. "Are you really going to build a house by yourself? This is not an easy thing to do."

Mu Deye nodded firmly, "I know it's not easy, but I want to give my partner a stable home, and at the same time get rid of Zhu Zhiqing, so that my partner won't misunderstand me when she comes back."

The captain looked at his sincerity and smiled. "Okay, since you are so determined, I will approve it. However, building a house requires a lot of materials and manpower. You have to prepare the money. Also, do you want to build a blue brick house or a mud house?"

"A blue brick house, I'd like to ask the captain to help me with it as soon as possible. I want to build two rooms, a living room, a kitchen, a toilet, and a storage room for firewood. I'm not short of money. I pay a full centimeter every day, and my family sends me money every month. I haven't spent any of this in several years. I told my family about my marriage, and they sent me the betrothal gift and the money for three turns and one ring. I'd like to ask the captain to keep it a secret for me for the time being." Mu Deye said excitedly.

The captain's mouth twitched. A grown man is afraid of being robbed? And you kept it a secret and told me, you are really careless... "This will cost about 150"

"Okay, I'll give you 150 yuan, and you can refund me the excess or make up the shortfall later." After saying that, he took out the money and gave it to the team leader.

Wow, this move is amazing, done in one go...

After thanking the captain, Mu Deye left excitedly.

He began to prepare for building a house. First, he asked carpenter Gu Er to make furniture for him. The total cost was only fifty yuan.

When he passed by Mr. Gu's house on his way home, he saw the little cutie Tang Hua sitting on the doorstep, drinking milk. He felt funny in his heart that this little girl always carried a bottle of milk wherever she went.

He stopped and said with a smile: "Xiao Huabao, what are you doing here?"

Tang Hua looked at him and replied with a smile: "Mu Zhiqing, I'm waiting for my grandfather at the door. Where have you been?"

"Oh, I'm planning to build a house to marry my partner, and I'm going to ask Brother Gu to make furniture for me."

Tang Hua nodded, and then as if she suddenly thought of something, she asked, "Mu Zhiqing, for your new house, do you need to buy pots and pans? I have some at home, do you want some? I'll give you a set."

Mu Deye was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Give it to you? That's not a good idea. I'll buy it for you."

Tang Hua waved her hands and said generously, "No, I don't need this little money. Just take it and consider it my wedding gift to you and Sister Li. Don't be polite to me. It's settled. You can go back now."

Mu Deye smiled. "Since Xiao Huabao is so generous, then I will thank you. I will treat you to wedding wine and wedding candy later." Never mind. Pots and other things are not easy to buy. I will just buy more food for her in the future.

"Okay," Tang Hua said, and then she stood up, walked over to him, slapped him a lucky charm, and said, "Mu Zhiqing, go back. I'm going home."

After returning home, Tang Hua walked into the kitchen and took out some ingredients to prepare dinner. Her grandfather had gone to the mountains and would probably not be back for a while, so she skillfully lit a fire and prepared to stew soup.

Tang Hua first cleaned the ingredients, then put them into the pot and added an appropriate amount of water. Then, she carefully lit a fire, watched the flames gradually rise, and put in some firewood before getting up.

While the soup was simmering, she was not idle. She started to prepare other dishes, cutting vegetables and adding side dishes. Everything was done in an orderly manner. Her movements were skillful and quite elegant if you ignored her chubby hands.

Tang Hua gently stirred the soup pot to allow the ingredients to fully blend and emit an enticing aroma. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She admired herself for her cooking skills that were getting better and better.

Tang Hua looked up at the time and estimated that her grandfather would be home soon, so she quickly tied on her own apron and went into the kitchen to prepare cooking.

When she was busy frying the last dish, she heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside the door. As expected, Grandpa came in carrying a large pile of firewood. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled the fragrance of the whole house and couldn't help asking, "Huabao, what are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?"

Hearing her grandfather's voice, Tang Hua poked her little head out of the kitchen and replied with a smile: "Grandpa is back! Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner! I stewed soup today." After that, she turned back to the kitchen and continued to be busy.

After Grandpa washed his hands, she brought the food to the dining table.

The grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other, preparing to eat dinner. Looking at so many dishes, Gu Zhonghua said, "Why did you cook so many dishes? Are you tired? Let grandpa come back and cook them later. Don't fall into the pot and fry yourself, you little guy."

After hearing what her great-grandfather said, Tang Hua suddenly felt that the food was not delicious anymore, and she whispered, "Grandpa, I won't fry myself. The pan is hot, can you help me get a bowl of soup?" There were indeed a lot of dishes fried tonight: fragrant-scented leek scrambled eggs, crispy and tender pan-fried spare ribs, delicious braised fish, hot and sour cold chicken made with the chicken in the stewed chicken soup, and a refreshing stir-fried vegetable dish.

Just as they were eating with gusto, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Gu Zhonghua put down his chopsticks, stood up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Gu Weiqi. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to say, "Brother-in-law, do you have a bicycle ticket? Your sister said she wanted to buy another bicycle so that she can ride it when Dongzi comes back. Oh, I just saw you come back! Are you guys eating so early?"

"Yes, Huabao cooked first." Gu Zhonghua said with a smile. He looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and nodded with satisfaction: "Anyway, there are quite a lot of dishes. You can come and eat together. Let's drink some wine and relax."

When he heard that there was wine to drink, Gu Weiqi's eyes lit up and he immediately responded, "That's great!" Then he stood up to wash his hands and returned to his seat.

Tang Hua sensibly took a bowl for her uncle-in-law, while Gu Zhonghua took the cup to pour wine. After Gu Weiqi sat down, he couldn't wait to fill himself a bowl of soup. He blew on it gently, took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wow, you're good, little painter!" Gu Weiqi looked at Tang Hua next to him in surprise and praised, "Your skills are getting better and better. Grandpa will have to come over more often to eat with you in the future."

After hearing this, Tang Hua patted her chest happily and said confidently: "Don't worry, uncle, you and aunt can come to eat whenever you want in the future! Huabao will take care of you and make sure you are plump and white." Her face was filled with smiles.

"Okay, next time you cook, just call your uncle over. For a bite of food, your uncle will definitely come to support you," Gu Weiqi laughed.

Gu Zhonghua brought out two glasses of wine, sat down, took out the bicycle ticket from his pocket and handed it to him. Gu Weiqi wanted to take the money, but he raised his hand to stop him: "No, I have a few more. If you need them, come to me again."

Gu Weiqi refused to listen and insisted on paying, saying, "If you don't accept it, believe it or not I won't be able to enter your room tonight. Don't you know your sister's temper?" Gu Zhonghua thought about it and accepted it, muttering, "What a coward." "Haha, you act like you're not a coward and you're not afraid of your sister." Gu Weiqi picked up the glass and clinked it with his.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Gu Weiqi looked at the time and stood up.

"It's getting late. I have to go back, or your sister will scold me again."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Have two more drinks." Gu Zhonghua said.

"No, we really have to go. There's a lot to do these two days. I have to get up early tomorrow because the commune is going to buy house building materials for Mu Zhiqing." Gu Weiqi shook his head, said goodbye to the two, and left.

It was already dark at this time. After Tang Hua cleaned up the table, the grandfather and grandson washed up and went back to their room to practice.
