Soon, everyone in the village knew that Jianxinjia was going to build a new house.

Generally, when a family wants to build a new house, they will say hello to the people in the village, hoping that everyone will spare time, those who can come to work will help with the work, and those who have money can also borrow some money.

Building a new house is also because the whole family has been squeezed in the old house for a long time. Thanks to Wei Jingze's blessing this year, I finally saved some money, so I thought about building the house. It's time to talk about kissing in a few years, and we can't say that there is no new house when we kiss.

The old man agreed to borrow money, and Wei Jingze had no objection. When borrowing money, it was enough to write out the IOU. The man said that he wanted to borrow [-] yuan. Wei Jingze calculated the money at hand and thought it was okay.

Pan Jianxin has a good reputation in the village, hardworking and willing to work. His wife is also a good character, quick at work. His two children, the older one is in high school, and the younger one is in junior high school. on the line.

Rural people also know that if they don't help the poor, people who are eager to borrow money are temporary. Poor people with few sources of income may not be able to pay.

Of course, there are also some people who refuse to pay back the money they borrowed. They keep procrastinating and refuse to pay back the money.

In the end, it turns out that only Wei Jingze's grandpa and grandson borrowed more. The others borrowed a few thousand, and the one who borrowed more was only 1 yuan.

It is said that the house is going to be built, although the construction will not start now, it will wait until the beginning of next year, but now we must start to prepare everything that can be prepared. Find out which kiln produces good bricks, whether to buy red bricks or blue bricks, where to buy cement, where to buy sand, where to hire an engineering team, etc.

Breaking ground in the countryside is a big project, and many materials must be prepared early, and when the time comes, the agreed construction team will be brought in to start the construction.

Except for local wealthy families, most families will prepare for a new house for half a year.

Soon, vehicles came in and out of the village one after another, all delivering bricks, tiles, stones, prefabricated panels and other building materials.Soon Pan Jianxin's house was full of piles, so he piled them outside.

No one would steal these building materials outside, and they were too heavy to sell for a few bucks, so they covered them with tarpaulins for fear of wind and rain.

Apart from borrowing money from their family, Pan Jianxin didn't need any other help for the time being.

About half a month after Lai Ye fell, his son came back with a huge woven bag on his back, and it seemed that he was not doing well outside.It is said that he works in the engineering team, which is also a hard work. The money he earns is sent home to pay off the debts, and the whole family has no money left.

But his wife did not come back. I heard that the contract stated that he would work until the end of the year, otherwise he would be in breach of the contract, so he did not come back for the time being. It is estimated that he will not arrive home until the Chinese New Year.

The father is back, and only the children are the happiest. When the two little girls were about to do their homework in front of Wei Jingze's house, they heard that their father was back, and they ran home like flying. Probably because they heard that their father was back, they were very happy Bar?

Grandpa's son's name is Pan Wang's family, which is a pretty good name. After returning, he walked around each house to say hello and so on.

As an elder in the village, the old man was naturally one of the people to be visited, and the old man even stayed with him for a meal.

It was also the first time for Wei Jingze to see Pan Wang's family. He was dark and thin, not much different from the men in the village who farmed the fields. He had a standard local accent. He drank it like water and talked to the old man. Sometimes, very enthusiastic.

Wei Jingze listened silently beside him for a while, and found that this person was quite bragging, saying that he had worked on a few big projects outside, how many rich bosses he had met, and so on.

Fortunately, they were all talking to the old man, Wei Jingze didn't know him well, so he was too embarrassed to drag Wei Jingze to talk about it.

After eating for almost three hours, he wandered back. Wei Jingze came over to clean up the dishes, and asked the old man in surprise, "He can talk like that? Are you tired of listening?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Listen, it doesn't matter, let's just drink away the boredom. I can believe three points of his words. How can I believe them all? If I believe them all, I'm a stick."

Wei Jingze knew that his worries were in vain. The old man had decades of experience in life, so even if he hadn't seen the outside world much, he could tell how much water was mixed in.Of course, smart people will have some life experience after living for many years, but not everyone is like this. Some people will do many stupid things when they are old.Some people live their whole life in a daze.There are not many people like the old man who live and understand more.

Pan Wang's family took over Lai Ye's job and started to make tofu. There is nothing to worry about about tofu. Wei Jingze observed it for a few days and found that although Pan Wang's family is bragging, they still do a good job. , making tofu was also done when I was young, although not as proficient as Lai Ye, but it is quite satisfactory, Chen Han didn't dislike it, and Wei Jingze didn't say anything.

Worrying about the restaurant, Wei Jingze was thinking about what Jiang Yanzong was doing now, and didn't know how the matter he wanted to solve was progressing. He went back in person, and the problem to be solved was probably a family matter. Hope he gets the result he wants.

Wei Jingze was thinking in his heart that the phone rang just in time. He took it out and saw that it was really Jiang Yanzong. Say, "I was just wondering what you were doing when you called."

Hearing what Wei Jingze said, Jiang Yanzong couldn't help asking: "Really? You were thinking about me just now?"

Wei Jingze nodded and said with certainty, "Of course it's true!"

Jiang Yanzong couldn't help but smiled, and said, "What a coincidence, I just took a break, and after taking a breath, I wanted to talk to someone, took out my cell phone, and called you."

Wei Jingze also laughed.

"Is the restaurant still normal?"

"It's normal. The bald head is in charge of it very well. Don't worry, it's just that his temper has become more irritable. Last time, a young apprentice served the wrong dish and was scolded for half an hour."

After thinking about it, Wei Jingze felt that those who could persevere under Chen Han's hands were all warriors.

Jiang Yanzong said cheerfully: "He has always had such a bad temper, and he can't change it. What about you? How are you?"

Wei Jingze said: "I'm fine too. I'm busy growing vegetables every day. The two days are almost over. My grandfather said that I might have to go up the mountain to collect firewood and pick up fungus in two days. At that time, the signal on the mountain was not very good. When you get on the phone, if you can’t get through, you can call me at night.”

Jiang Yanzong thought to himself, this girl has a really thick skin. When did I say I was going to call him, but he had the nerve to say so, but he replied very smoothly: "Okay, I got it."

Wei Jingze couldn't help asking: "What about you? Are you okay now? Do you have a headache?"

Jiang Yanzong rubbed his forehead and said, "Fortunately, it doesn't hurt as much as before." Hearing your voice, the pain is gone, Jiang Yanzong whispered in his heart.

Wei Jingze breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good, you should pay attention to rest, you are quite scary when you have a headache."

At this time, Wei Jingze felt a little regretful. If he had known that he was going back earlier, he would have prepared some things to bring back for him. Eating the things he grew with his abilities would still be good for his illness.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Yanzong was going to be busy, so Wei Jingze hung up the phone reluctantly.

That night, when the ducks were going home, a duck accidentally ran out of the team and hurried back, trying to pretend that he had been in the team all along, hoping that Wei Jingze would not find out.

In fact, Wei Jingze did not realize that he was still thinking about Jiang Yanzong.

Now, the nearly three-month-old ducks are getting fatter and fatter, and they can be eaten during the Chinese New Year, but Wei Jingze and the old man both plan to let the ducks lay eggs first, and discuss with the restaurant about selling the ducks. There are also some male ducks in it.

In October, we finished our work in the field, and the rice was already heading and filling, but the autumn harvest was not in a hurry, so everyone was still busy with the things in hand.

The old man took Wei Jingze up the mountain to collect firewood, mainly to prepare for the winter. There was no farm work in winter, and many people stayed at home, watching TV by the fire. If the fire cannot be stopped at home, it is necessary to collect firewood.

The forest is still lush in autumn, and most of the coniferous trees are planted on the mountain, so even if it is already autumn, the leaves are already lush, and the wind blows through the tops of the trees, and you will hear the rustling sound.

In autumn, there will be some mushrooms on the mountain. Some things can be eaten, and some things can’t be eaten. It can’t be judged by saying that the brightly colored ones can’t be eaten, and the ugly ones can be eaten. It still depends on the experience passed down from ancestors. , Which mushrooms like to grow on rotten wood, which mushrooms like to grow in haystacks, and which mushrooms like to grow on the roots of trees, so that even if the shape is similar, it can be judged whether it can be eaten or not.

Wei Jingze also saw a long row of fungus growing on dead wood, but it was said that these were not tasty, so he didn't pick them.

Moreover, there are many wild fruits on the mountain, such as wild persimmon, wild kiwi, and even a little bit of wild raspberry in this season. Raspberry is generally more abundant in August and September, and it is rare to see it in October. Zihua fruit is said to be very good for making wine.

Wei Jingze even had an illusion, that is, there are treasures on the mountain.

This mountain is next to the two rivers upstream, unlike the mountain behind the village, the trees are planted by people, and people go up every now and then, so the species are not so rich.If you want to harvest more wild mushrooms and fruits, you have to go to places where such people rarely appear.

Wei Jingze was lamenting that there were many things, but the old man lamented that there were few things: "In the past, there were more things in the mountains. You can scare away a rabbit with a few steps and step on a pheasant! You can often see turtledoves. Hard to see now."
