People born in the 80s became relocated households

The next morning, Jiang Shuya got up very early and went to the market to buy a bunch of cooked vegetables. Because she got up early, there were only a few people rushing to the market at that time. The whole market was filled with a wide variety of fresh cooked vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Jiang Shuya bought some pork, dry-cut beef, roast duck, a live chicken, two live fish, and some vegetarian dishes such as tomatoes, beans, eggplants, etc.

There are leeks, peppers, cucumbers, and water spinach planted in the grape field. It will be enough to make a few cold dishes. I don’t know how many people will come. If there are more people, I will make more. If there are fewer people, I will make less. It’s all hard work, so I have to prepare enough dishes.

When I got home and put away a pile of vegetables, I saw my mother-in-law was washing clothes. Tangtang was not awake yet. I said a few words to her and rode my bike to the Dageng homestead to wait for someone.

At about 9 o'clock, six or seven people got off Master Fang's truck, including two middle-aged men, two young men, and even her father and younger brother. Jiang Shuya was a little surprised, thinking that her father was just talking casually. After all, their business was very busy and they were afraid they couldn't take care of everything. She was touched, but also worried that her mother would complain about her because she was too busy with the business.

At this time, grandpa came over, chatted with them for a few words, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to them. The two middle-aged men exchanged polite words and each took a cigarette.

Father Jiang Donglai was all smiles, saying that he came to check on the situation out of concern, and that he also knew how to build a house and could help. His younger brother Shuhuai was on vacation, so he came over to do odd jobs, which saved him some money.

How could Jiang Shuya refuse?

Naturally, I was filled with gratitude. After all, he was the one who helped me when I was in the most difficult time. I remembered that it was the first time my father came to our house, and he had never eaten a meal here. Before I got married, Li Dalan had come here once, and she was very dissatisfied when she came back, which also extinguished my father's curiosity.

Jiang Shuya grew up with her grandparents as a left-behind child. She was not close to her parents. Many times she felt that her parents did not love her and had left her to her grandmother since she was a child. No matter whether the children in the village were older or younger than her, they all dared to bully her, but she did not dare to tell anyone and endured it silently in her heart.

When she was 18 years old, she fell ill and could not take the college entrance examination. She took medicine at home for a long time. Later, Li Dalan let her take a bus to Jinling by herself and found her a job.

From then on, she went to work honestly and handed over her monthly salary in full, while her parents took her younger brother with them wherever they went.

She hated her brother and her parents in her heart, but no one could really hear the voice in her heart until she met Huang Minghao at the age of 22, who said he wanted to marry her.

Having a home of her own, she suddenly realized that she no longer wanted to let others control her life, and she no longer wanted to hand over her monthly salary. She wanted to live for herself. She longed to be loved and to have a warm home, so she got married regardless of everything, got pregnant, and gave birth to a daughter.

When getting married, Jiang Shuya wanted to get back the salary she earned, but Li Dalan said that the money was used for her younger brothers and sisters' schooling, and the money before the marriage belonged to the Jiang family.

Now they were willing to help her, perhaps for their own future interests. Jiang Shuya didn't know whether this was true love or an exchange of interests. She thought, maybe it was for her own benefit! Who made her ask for help from them?

Let’s finish the current things first!

Master Fang took some house-building tools he brought from the car and distributed them to four workers. He asked grandpa about the structure of the house, as well as the squareness and length of the house. He lay on the neatly stacked square bricks and drew a diagram of the overall structure of the house. He also gave his own suggestions. Grandpa nodded with a smile.

After that, he took them to pull up a rope to measure the size. They decided to build a square two-story building. They had to dig a 1-meter-deep foundation first. Because it was a demolished house and no one would live in it, the foundation did not need to be dug that deep, to ensure that it would not collapse within three to five years.

With four skilled workers, they started to dig the foundation after measuring the dimensions. The foundation must be stable. Secondly, the ground beam must be poured. The ground beam must be guaranteed to be stable to prevent the house from collapsing.

Two young men brought a few buckets of water and started to mix cement. Shuya put on gloves and started to filter the sand with a shovel. Jiang Donglai arranged for Shuhuai to filter the sand and asked Shuhuai to go back to buy vegetables and prepare lunch. Shuya responded with a smile:

"The dishes are ready, and they are plentiful."

Knowing that his father never treated him badly when it came to food, he quickly rode his bike to the market and bought two large watermelons. He put them in the well water at his grandfather's house to cool them down, and also boiled two pots of water at his grandfather's house.

I was worried that my mother-in-law would not be able to take care of Tangtang and pick vegetables and cook at home alone.

He picked up a watermelon, cut it up, moved a table from his grandfather's house and put it in front of the door, invited them to eat the watermelon, said goodbye to his father, and went home to prepare lunch.

When I got home, I saw my mother-in-law coaxing Tangtang and couldn't concentrate on cooking, so I went to the kitchen.

Jiang Shuya stared at the dishes in a daze, frowning, not knowing how to start. She was not good at cooking and did not like the smoke, so she smiled and praised her mother-in-law for her delicious cooking.

Afraid that the dishes she cooked would not be edible and would be a waste of good ingredients, she flattered and coaxed her mother-in-law into preparing lunch.

Perhaps she felt more at ease with her father around and her grandfather watching over her, so Jiang Shuya pushed Tangtang to the vineyard to pick some peppers, cucumbers and water spinach.

When I came back, I suddenly felt that it would take a long time to call them to walk home to eat after the meal was cooked, which would waste time. So I planned to buy the vegetables tomorrow and send them to grandpa's house to cook, which would be more convenient.

I told my mother-in-law about this idea, and she also thought that this would be more convenient. Grandpa's house has a big stove, so it would be more appropriate to cook in a big pot. Should I talk to grandpa about this in the afternoon?

My mother-in-law was very skillful and in a short time, all the food was ready. Looking at the time, it was already 11:. Shuya rode her electric bike to call people to eat.

The sun was still bright at this time, and several young men were working hard. They saw that about 1 meter deep pits had been dug around the homestead, and several skilled workers were working hard to drive piles.

Jiang Shuya called her grandfather and asked them to eat together. After a while, they stopped working, drank some water on an empty stomach, washed their hands and faces, and followed Shuya along the path along the river to the downstream direction.

After about a quarter of an hour, they pushed open the door from the backyard and walked into the front yard living room, only to see the food on the table. Jiang Shuya couldn't help but marvel at the food. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they were both rich and pleasing to the eye. There were braised fish, braised pork with eggplant, neatly arranged roast duck, spicy chicken, dry-cut beef, stir-fried water spinach, cold cucumber salad, and tomato and egg soup. When they saw it, they all swallowed their saliva.

Grandpa waved his hand to signal everyone to eat as much as they wanted. Grandma was afraid that they would feel embarrassed, so she found several large bowls in the house and filled each of them with a bowl of rice. At first, they were still polite, but after a while, they just followed the host's instructions and the only sound was the chewing of rice.

Before Jiang Shuya mentioned that they were going to her grandfather's house to cook tomorrow, her grandfather brought it up himself. After all, everyone was there to work, and it would be inconvenient to run back and forth.

Jiang Shuya looked at her mother-in-law and agreed readily.

My mother-in-law took some rice from the kitchen, picked up a few vegetarian dishes, and served some soup to my grandmother.
