After lunch, Jiang Shuhuai teased Tangtang for a while, held her in his arms and loved her very much. He gently taught Tangtang to call him uncle, and Tangtang cooperated by babbling. Her little white teeth showed in her mouth and she giggled. Tangtang seemed to like this warm and strong embrace very much. Jiang Shuya inadvertently discovered that Tangtang had not seen her father for more than half a year.

Seeing that everyone had finished their meal and were walking towards the main road, Tangtang dozed off as if she was going to take a nap. Jiang Shuya also got up early today and wanted to take a nap, so she took Tangtang upstairs to take a nap. Looking at the mess on the table, she looked at it apologetically. Grandma waved her hand and said, "Take Tangtang to rest!

I'll clean up. I have to go to the fields and pick grape branches later." Shuya counted three thousand yuan from her pocket upstairs, went downstairs and saw her mother-in-law washing dishes, handed the money to her and said, "Mom, you can go buy groceries tomorrow! Go to grandpa's house. This house will take about ten days to build. I have agreed with Master Fang in advance that he will provide one meal every day at noon. Thank you for your hard work. I will give you some compensation when the time comes! And don't bring all kinds of seasonings from home. Buy some new ones and bring them over!"

At this moment, the mother-in-law smiled happily, stretched out her wet hands and took the money readily.

Jiang Shuya had an especially deep nap this afternoon and was awakened by Tangtang's crying. She saw her legs kicking off the quilt, her face flushed red, and she looked extremely uncomfortable. It was obvious that she had pooped and was vomiting. Shuya pinched her nose, made a disdainful face, and went to the bathroom to get some clean hot water.

He didn't calm down until he helped her clean up, applied refreshing powder, and drank milk. He looked at the time and it was already 3:50 in the afternoon. He fumbled on his phone for a while and sent a message to Huang Minghao: "I have built a house on the piece of land above your old house. After it is built, I plan to make a separate household. We will separate our household registration from your parents', so that we can get more houses and compensation after the demolition. You have no objection, right?"

Two minutes later, a reply came: "Building a house, do you have money?" Shuya replied, "Yes, the construction has already started."

Huang Minghao: "Where did you get the money?"

Jiang Shuya: "I borrowed it from my dad. I'll tell you the details when I get back."

Huang Minghao: "When will your parents ask you to pay it back?"

Jiang Shuya understood that this was a test and a warning to her. Whoever borrowed money should pay it back. If he didn't pay back the old debt, he would have to pay back a new debt. Jiang Shuya said, "I borrowed the money. I promised to pay it back with the demolition compensation after the demolition."

Huang Minghao: "Are your parents that good?" Jiang Shuya understood that he was still holding a grudge against the 60,000 yuan betrothal gift. In his previous life, he had always called them "your mom" and "your dad" in front of Shuya, and had never respected them from the bottom of his heart. He had never visited them during festivals.

Shuya didn't want to reply to him anymore. Her parents did ask for 60,000 yuan as a dowry, and this time they might really want the house. She also didn't want to continue to deepen Huang Minghao's hatred towards his parents.

I can only wait for him to come back and explain it to him.

When I took Tangtang to the big stalk in the afternoon, several masters had already laid the foundation and filled the middle with soil dug from all sides and spread it flat.

Another layer of stones was laid on top, and the ground beam has been poured. After drying overnight, the base of the wall can be built and the basic structure of the wall base and wall surface can be constructed. Several workers, wearing standard safety helmets on the construction site, are pounding bricks and laying the wall base to increase the stability of the foundation structure. There are many long wooden sticks of distinct thickness scattered around the foundation, as well as some hemp ropes, which will be used for building the wall tomorrow and preparing to build the wall structure frame. A young man is working hard with a shovel to filter the yellow sand one shovel at a time.

Jiang Shuhuai mixed cement and filtered yellow sand together, dug a hole in the middle, poured a bucket of water and mixed it with cement, making a sizzling sound. Tangtang watched attentively without saying a word. When she finished, her uncle gave her a kind look and she giggled. His father did not stop until he had used up the cement in the bucket he brought. It was already dark by then. They packed up their tools, got on Master Fang's truck together, and prepared to leave. Jiang Shuya stepped forward to pay the fare separately, but his father told them to settle the bill together, and they got on the truck and went back.

After seeing them off, Jiang Shuya heard another round of fighting and scolding at home. It turned out that the old man had returned, and the two were fighting in the backyard again. When he saw Shuya coming back, the old man pushed his mother-in-law away, went to the backyard to get a shoulder pole and carried two buckets of manure, and went to the grape field.

That night, Huang Minghao sent several messages, but Jiang Shuya didn't reply. Suddenly, she realized that he never seemed curious about Tangtang's appearance and changes. After all, she had only seen Tangtang once since she was born, and it had been more than half a year, but he didn't even ask for a photo. She couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk tsk, is he still a human being?"

In the next few days, after breakfast, my mother-in-law went to the market to buy vegetables and cooked them at my grandfather's house. As usual, Jiang Shuya took Tangtang to Dageng to watch them work, helped them boil water, and bought a few watermelons, which she put in the well at my grandfather's house to cool down. Watermelons can quench thirst and reduce body temperature.

My grandfather was also very concerned about building the house. He got along well with Master Fang, who was a very honest man. Whenever he needed to borrow tools or something, he would go to him. Within two days, except for the slow progress in laying the foundation on the first day, the wall was taller than a person's head on the second and third days.

On the fourth day, Huang Minghao's father was seen among the workers. I don't know what method his grandfather used to get him here. The old man was having difficulty working. He was sweating and panting. He had to stop to rest after working for a while.

Although Master Fang was curious, he didn't say anything. Grandpa's tall figure stood there, very intimidating, staring at him with eyes that seemed to eat him alive. Seeing Grandpa bending down to pick up bricks, he was so scared that he quickly picked up the tools to mix cement. Jiang Shuya stood by and watched the old man's nervous look silently, feeling both funny and sad.

Alas! This pair of enemies, the grandfather did not educate his eldest son well, which was also a source of worry for him.

The weather was sunny for five consecutive days and the progress was smooth. On the sixth day, it started to drizzle. In the afternoon, the rain did not stop and got heavier and heavier.

Master Fang looked at the weather forecast and was told that if it rained the next day, we wouldn't be able to work, so we couldn't come. We could come when the weather was better. We would be earning hard labor money, and it wouldn't be worth it if we got sick from the rain. Sure enough, the sky was overcast at the weekend, and it rained heavily with thunder and lightning. As July begins, the weather is changeable and rain comes at any time.

Jiang Shuya looked at the time and met her sister at the bus stop under the Jiajiang Bridge, waiting for her with an umbrella, wondering whether she could arrive at the agreed time.
