Chapter 133 Zhang Lishan is here
At first, Li Mingxia didn't know why Zhang suddenly remained silent, but she quickly realized that the relationship between Li Sanlang and the old house is unclear. Although it seems that Li Sanlang has become estranged from the people in the old house, the affection is still there. Zhang and Li Mingxia have different identities. Li Mingxia is a daughter and can do whatever she wants to say in the current situation. But Zhang is different. She has to consider Li Sanlang's opinion before doing or thinking anything. The relationship between husband and wife seems to be the closest, but in fact it is also the relationship that needs the most management.
"Dad, during the half year that you and big brother were away, my uncle and grandma's family helped our family a lot." Li Mingxia glanced at Li Sanlang who was sitting next to them, and his tone was quite meaningful.
Li Sanlang thought about it and took the initiative to say, "I think what Xia Jie said is right. Mother, my eldest brother is good at work and is ten times better than us. It is right for him to earn this money. Even if others want to earn it, they have to see if they have the ability to do so, right?"
Everyone knew exactly who this was being said about. The construction schedule for their house was tight, and they needed people who were capable of doing the work. It was fine for Li Dalang to be cunning and dishonest, but he could forget about doing serious work.
"Let's send a message to eldest brother tomorrow. If he is free, please come and help us for a few days. What do you think, mother?" Li Sanlang asked Zhang.
Zhang was naturally happy to hear this, her face flushed a little, "Of course there is time. Now that the autumn harvest is over, I have nothing to do so I stay at home. Dad, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll go cook it later."
Li Mingxia smiled secretly at the couple's appearance. "Other people's wages are 15 cents. My uncle is here to help us supervise the work, so according to the rules, he should be paid more. How about 20 cents a day?"
"Isn't this too much?" Zhang felt a little uncomfortable.
Li Sanlang and Li Zhengpin spoke at the same time, "Not much, this is the rule for working in the town."
The matter was settled, and Zhang Lishan came to Li Mingxia's house in the evening of the next day.
"Uncle!" Li Zhengde and the two little girls liked Zhang Lishan very much. When they were at their grandmother's house, there were so many people around and they didn't dare to get too close to their uncle. But this time they were at their own home and they naturally had fun.
Li Zhengde ran the fastest and rushed into Zhang Lishan's arms in a flash!
"Uncle! What delicious food did you bring me?"
Zhang Lishan never came here empty-handed every time in these years, and this time would be no exception. Li Zhengde asked this because he saw Zhang Lishan carrying a particularly large basket.
Li Zhengde is a little boy and also Zhang Lishan's favorite nephew, so no matter what he says, Zhang Lishan will not feel unhappy or disgusted. Instead, he will feel that this is his nephew being close to him and not treating him as an outsider.
"I brought it! How could your uncle not bring you some delicious food!" Zhang Lishan picked up Li Zhengde from the ground and kissed him hard.
"Ouch! Uncle! Your stubble is prickling me to death!" Li Zhengde yelled exaggeratedly.
Li Sanlang and others saw this scene when they came out.
Although Li Zhengde was complaining, his hands were still around Zhang Lishan's neck and he refused to let go.
Li Sanlang felt uncomfortable after seeing this. His son was born and raised in the old house, but he had never seen his son and his uncles behave so intimately. However, he also knew in his heart that Li Zhengde was not to blame for these things.
"Hurry up and get down. You're so grown up, but you're still so clingy! You even have the nerve to ask your uncle for delicious food!" Zhang smiled and patted Li Zhengde gently, signaling him to get down from Zhang Lishan quickly.
Li Sanlang also calmed down his emotions at this time, "That's what I mean, your uncle is here to help our family with work this time, so don't make a fuss!"
Li Zhengde pouted and was about to jump out of Zhang Lishan's arms when he was carried a little higher.
"How old is the boy? What's wrong with me not being able to hold him? My eldest nephew only asks me for delicious food without telling me about it. He doesn't do this in front of outsiders. You two don't scold my eldest nephew in front of me. I don't like it!" Zhang Lishan turned sideways to block Zhang's hand, and then carried Li Zhengde into the yard.
"Hehe, uncle, you are so nice to me!" Li Zhengde was very satisfied. He held Zhang Lishan and looked at Zhang and Li Sanlang proudly, as if someone was backing him up.
It was not until they entered the house that Li Mingxia brought Zhang Lishan a bowl of sugar water. Under Li Mingxia's gaze, Li Zhengde obediently came out of Zhang Lishan's arms.
"Uncle, it's really hard for you to come so far. My father and my elder brother don't know how to do masonry work. Although it's not a big house, it's at least a house, which is a big deal for us country people. My parents said that it won't work without someone they trust to help keep an eye on it, so they asked your uncle to come over." Li Mingxia asked Zhang Lishan to sit down before formally telling him about the matter.
These words were intended to elevate Zhang Lishan's status. Li Sanlang agreed to these words and also wanted Zhang Lishan to not have any concerns.
"This is all our family affairs, don't worry, your uncle will make sure it looks great for you." Zhang Lishan said happily.
Li Sanlang sat aside and said, "Brother, I am very grateful that you can come to help me. Our family does not ask for wages. Twenty cents a day is just to buy you some wine."
Zhang Lishan naturally said no, but Li Sanlang and Zhang insisted, so he finally agreed.
"Brother, you just come. Why do you bring so many things to them? We have everything we need at home." Zhang said with some complaints when she saw Zhang Lishan taking things out of the basket.
"If that's what you said, then I'll come to see my nephew and niece empty-handed. The gifts aren't for you, but for the children." Zhang Lishan took out a large bag of wild pears. "This pear is unique to our mountain. Our mountain is the only one with this pear tree in the surrounding villages. If you move it to other places, it won't survive. Put it in the cupboard for a few days and it will taste sweet and sour."
Zhang used to love eating this pear. When she saw it, she remembered the taste and quickly took it.
"Your mother loves to eat this. She asked me to bring these eggs to the children. I picked the biggest ones to nourish my niece's body."
