Chapter 991 The General's Love

I didn't go far and set up a card table directly at Xiao Wu's house. I played for three to five yuan, and it didn't matter whether I won or lost after playing for a day. And as soon as they sat down, the fifth daughter-in-law started to bring tea and water. Not only melon seeds but also fruits were placed next to everyone.

The tea was made from the good tea leaves that Xiao Wu brought back from the south. If nothing else, it was estimated that Xiao Wu would only earn this much money in one day. So playing with some lottery tickets is just for fun, and few people take this small amount of money seriously.

"Go kill a chicken, buy some food on the street, and we brothers will have some drinks at noon." Xiaowu said to his wife as he sat down and started building the Great Wall. This status in the family is definitely not that of those who are still a month old on the Internet in later generations. A man who wants his wife to give him pocket money can compare.

Xiao Wu's wife smiled and agreed. She was not a local, nor was she from Wan Province, but from Sishan. A few years ago, Xiaowu went for a long-distance run to the Four Mountains because it was very hard on mountain roads. I don’t know how he met his wife during the two trips and then abducted her back.

Xiaowu's parents were not so proud in the village for this matter. After all, in recent years, the betrothal gifts were not as exaggerated as in later generations. Both parties should try their best to help the children get married, instead of trying to push them back by talking about the betrothal gift.

But whoever can bring a wife back from outside is undoubtedly a very honorable thing. Of course, Xiaowu's parents were very particular about money and spent a lot of money. They gave her three gold gifts as a betrothal gift, but they were not proud of their face.

"Don't trim it too much. It's easy to spoil if you don't finish it on a hot day." Yang Dongxu shouted.

"There's nothing to worry about when there's a refrigerator." Daliang said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I heard that your pickled fish is pretty good. I want to eat pickled fish for lunch."

"I know." Xiaowu's wife said with a smile as she took the child.

Although there is no market today, business people have their presence in the market. They just don’t stand out when carrying the market, and they still have the things they should have at home.

"Why do you like eating so much? You look fat." Xiao Wu glared at Daliang angrily.

But it was obviously a joke. Except for Yang Dongxu's family, they were the only family in Yangjia Village who could get along well. No one from a well-off family cared about the money for food and drinks.

"Why don't you bother sister-in-law? Let's go to Fourth Uncle's house and set up a table to save trouble. Win or lose, I'll treat you." The youngest general said.

Four people sat down to play mahjong, with a few onlookers nearby. He is the youngest among them, and he is also the one who is the most excited now, because Xiao Liang, who is sitting next to the other three packages, is all married and has become a father. He is the only one who has been a bit picky with the blind dates in the past few years.

"Forget it, there's no charge for going to Fourth Uncle's house. How dare you go and eat?" Xiao Wu waved his hand.

The fourth uncle is not a biological uncle because they both have the same surname as Yang, but they are considered to be from the same uncle. However, they are not very close because they are from the same village. He opened a braised meat shop and part-time restaurant in the market, because The income-generating business has been good.

Especially during the holidays, sometimes there is no room for the tables inside, and it is necessary to borrow space at a neighbor's house to set up a few tables. In the past few years, although I have not had a sports car to travel outside, except for restaurants, I have actually farmed, but I have made a lot of money.

After all, the people in Yangjia Village all have bulging pockets. They will save a lot of money to feed their wives and children, and they will naturally spend a small amount of money thinking about some things they talk about.

"Bei Feng! Xuzi, what do you think of me clearing up the land behind the yard and building a house to make a bath?" Daliang threw a Bei Feng in his hand and said.

A few people were playing ordinary mahjong. There weren't any extra kongs after the kongs. The most common kong head and the other three cards were all bad, and they didn't even use the small seven pair.

Therefore, the limelight player is not allowed to cheat, and it is also stipulated that if you touch four, you win five. Therefore, if the limelight player does not have a pair in the first hand when drawing cards, he will basically be thrown out first.

"Just do it if you want. Just think of it as building a new house at home. It's really hard to demolish the bathhouse and still have people living in the house. But I think it can be done. After all, except for our village, there are not many other villages in the ten miles and eighty villages that have solar energy or water heaters. of.

Even in winter, when it's cloudy and cold for several consecutive days, the water pipes can freeze, and bathing at home is a disaster. If you make the bathtub bigger, have more showers, and provide a few skilled bath masters, you should be able to make a lot of money during the winter. Yang Dongxu said while playing cards.

Nowadays, it only costs two yuan to take a bath, one yuan to wash your hands, and a dozen or twenty minutes of pedicure and manicure, which is about ten yuan.

But don’t underestimate the fact that this two-dollar restaurant can’t handle the large number of people. It’s no problem to entertain hundreds of people a day. Moreover, the bathhouse now uses coal instead of electricity, or it would be easier to just throw some firewood in.

If you can boil water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, then selling some other things for a thousand yuan a day is not a problem when business is good.

Of course, the initial investment is not small. Building a house, adding a boiler, building a pond, laying pipes, etc., each cost more than RMB 100,000. And this thing can only be made in winter. In spring, when the weather is slightly warmer for a day, everyone just makes do with washing at home. After all, rural people are not as economical as city people. They also go to bathing centers to take a bath in summer. Feet and stuff.

In fact, there is a bathhouse on the street now, but the scale is a bit small. After the men's and women's baths are divided, there are only two pools in two rooms. If you go to take a bath later, the water will not be able to drain people.

Rural people all have their own little ones and like small benefits. Generally, they go to take a bath once a week. The fastidious people rub their hands in the bath, and the unfashionable people bring their own bath towels. How do you think about hundreds of people using the water in a pool a day? It makes people speechless just thinking about it.

So Daliang proposed to do this, probably because he wanted to make a bigger one, so that he could invest more money. However, at the end of the year, many people who went out to work and took care of their families came back. It is impossible to lose money. The main thing is to see how many years it can be paid back.

"Actually, I wanted to get one in the county before. I already found a venue and a partner, but your second father wouldn't let me do it, so I gave up in the end. Occasionally I go in for a wash when I go for a walk in the county. There's a lot of money to be made from that stuff. "Xiao Wu said.

The 'Second Dad' in his mouth is what Yang Dongxu and others call him. If he is the same generation as Dad Yang and is older than Yang Dad, if he is the eldest brother in the family, he will be called Big Dad, and the second child will be called Er Dad. If he is younger than Father Yang, he will be called uncle according to the order of family.

For example, the Fourth Uncle in the development area on the street is called Fourth Uncle because he is the fourth eldest child in the family and is younger than Yang's father and the fathers of five younger children.

"Have you found some girls to massage you?" Daliang's smile became a little more lewd.

"It's like you've never been there." Xiao Wu rolled his eyes.

Da Liang, who had a lewd smile, looked a little stiff on his face. He looked out the door guiltily and secretly glanced at Yang Dongxu from the corner of his eye. Then his younger brother Xiaoliang, who was sitting next to him and was watching the fun, glanced at him.

There were a few people watching the fun sitting next to them, all of them laughing and saying nothing. All men understand this kind of thing, but when we talk about it in the village, who knows if that little girl will pass by and hear it, and then gossip with her wife.

Although his status in the family is also that of the head of the family, and sometimes being controlled by his wife is out of love for her, and he has the final say in many things at home, but if he gets into trouble with his wife, his parents probably won't help him. He even reached out to beat him.

"Why don't you find time to wash up? I'll treat you." The general interjected from the side.

"You are everywhere." Daliang, who was a little embarrassed by Xiao Wu, glared at him angrily. The two of them are the same grandfather, but their relationship is different from those who are about to leave the fifth server. "If you have money, let the aunt help you." Just save it and find a wife as soon as possible, so you don’t have to worry about all that nonsense.”

Although the general is not as old as Daliang, his father is the eldest among the boys and is one year older than Yang's father. The general is only the youngest among several people because he has a sister above him who is several years older than him, and My marriage was delayed by a few years by my father here.

"Come to think of it, do you have someone in your heart, or are you not interested in getting married? Someone in your heart directly said that the conditions in our village are not very good, but they are not much worse than anyone else. Take them back and see if your aunt and father can do it. Why are you wronged?" Yang Dongxu interjected to divert the conversation, so as not to dwell on the things that are there but not all.

"What Xuzi said is right. In the past few years, whenever you have been asked to go on a blind date, you have either pushed back or looked down on other girls. I think there are quite a few parents who are really good, and they are all well-informed from all over the country. Don't you really have someone in mind?" Xiao Wu looked up and down at the general with some doubts.

"That's right, now that we've reached this point, just say it directly to someone. Even if you're a girl in the city, your aunt and daddy don't have enough money, and a few brothers sitting here can't give you a whole apartment in the city, or what?" Daliang also looked at his cousin.

"This...that" the general's expression changed and he hesitated.

If a few people still thought it was Yang Dongxu's guess just now, they were sure of it when they saw the general looking at each other like this.

"It can't be the nurse when you were hospitalized last year, right?" Xiao Liang, who had been silent for a long time, clapped his hands and thought of something.

In terms of age, Xiaowu and Daliang are similar to Yang Dongxu. Xiaoliang and Dajian are slightly two years younger than them, so they usually hang out together for a longer time.

"The nurse during hospitalization? The one from the county hospital? The one with a round face who gives injections? Or the one who does ward rounds?" Daliang was stunned.

Last year, the general was in a car accident while driving. His leg was broken and he stayed in the hospital for more than half a month before going home to recuperate. As his cousin, Daliang often ran to the hospital, so when he heard the nurse, several figures appeared in his mind.

"The one who got the injection must have been the one who got the injection. It was the autumn harvest, and my aunt and father came back to harvest the crops. I was staying with them. When I went shopping at noon, I had a stomachache and went to the toilet.

It was the little nurse who pushed him into the toilet, and I happened to meet him when I came back. He and the little nurse blushed when they saw me. It must have been the one who didn't run away. "Xiao Liang clapped his hands and his voice rose an octave.

"Keep your voice down, why are you yelling?" The general lowered his head and his face turned red.
