Chapter 475 Waiting for Labor
After everyone started working for more than two hours, Li Hongbin arrived late carrying a nail rake.
“I’m really sorry, I’m late.”
Although Li Hongbin’s family has only lived in the village for a few years, they all regard themselves as Changqing people.
No matter what happens in the village, no matter whose family has something to do, or whether it is collective work in the village, they are very active.
Sometimes when Li Hongbin is not at home, Mr. Li comes over. Anyway, you can see people coming out of their family for big and small matters.
Just like this, everyone in the village is very warm to their family, and they do not alienate them because they moved in from outside.
"You're back now. I thought it would take a few days for you to come back."
Zhang An knew that Li Hongbin did not go to the construction site this time. Li Yao's grandparents returned to their hometown.
Because the flood was very serious, Li Yao's grandparents were worried about their sons there, so Li Hongbin took them back to take a look at the situation.
"My eldest brother and the others are still busy rebuilding the house, and Li Yao doesn't want to stay there and keeps making trouble, so I brought him back first. My parents stayed there temporarily. When they came back just now, When I saw the lively scene here on the bridge, I thought someone was coming to play in the lotus pond. After asking, I found out that the village was organizing a cleanup of the river beach today. "
Although Li Yao has grown up now, he still has a lot of fun. He has never forgotten what happened to him in the village, so he hates it there.
And after he came back, there were a lot of friends in the village, and everyone had fun every day, so naturally they didn't want to stay there.
After Li Hongbin's family moved into Changqing, Zhang Jianwen directly classified their family into the sixth team because they were adjacent to Zhang An's family and they were close to each other.
So when Li Hongbin comes over now, he naturally wants to come to Zhang An and the others.
"Oh? How is the situation? Nothing happened."
It has been so long since the flood, and the village over there is still rebuilding houses. It seems that the damage there is much more serious. .
“It was quite serious. The whole village was flooded in those days. Everyone lived in the cave on the mountain behind for more than ten days. They returned to the village after the water subsided. However, the houses in the village Almost all of them were in terrible condition, and three or four people died. Li Yao and his uncle were also injured and are still in the hospital, but there was nothing else. "
Although Li Hongbin's hometown is in the village. It is on a mountain, but the houses there are almost all old adobe houses, so it is not surprising that the whole army was wiped out in this flood.
After all, Zhang An had seen the people in their village. They could share the money for road construction and buy meat for everyone. What a good place such a place could be.
In comparison, Changqing was not much affected by the flood, with only a few houses damaged.
There were not too many casualties in terms of personnel. Only Chen Laoliu and his wife were injured in the whole village, but this is nothing. As long as no one is dead or missing, that is the best situation.
At the same time, Li Hongbin felt very lucky that he had brought Li Yao's grandparents here before.
If it were in my original hometown, even if there were no big problems, I would still have to suffer a lot from the flood for such a long time.
"As long as nothing happens to anyone."
Zhang An knew that Li Hongbin didn't have much affection for that village. The people there had already given him a chill. What he was worried about was just Just those uncles of Li Yao.
The river beach of Lotus Pond is very large. Even though the village sent more than a hundred people to clean it, it took two days to completely clean it and restore it to its original clean appearance.
Just a few days after the cleaning was completed, more and more people came to the village, and the lotus pond returned to the lively scene it had last year.
Because it is summer vacation, people come to the village every day. Many people who came last year still come with their families this year.
There are also some people who have never been here. They heard about such a place from others, so they came here this year. In comparison, the number of people who came this year was much higher than last year.
Seeing that the village is so prosperous, the haze left by the flood has disappeared.
There is no way to survive in the field, and the corn seedlings are still very small when they grow out, so everyone focuses on the people who come to play.
Everyone tried their best to start various small businesses in the village.
Not to mention, many people make money every day from these people who come to play.
Although it is not a lot, it is only July. If this craze continues until September, the money everyone can earn will definitely not be lower than the crops grown in the same year.
So this is why everyone is coming out of the haze of failed harvests in the fields.
It can be said that the east is not bright but the west is bright. The millet in the fields is gone, but everyone has new income and will definitely have a good life this year.
The villagers have new income, and the village is happy to see it.
Of course, if we use normal means to make tourists spend money willingly.
If anyone dares to deceive tourists and use some crooked ideas, Zhang Jianwen will be the first to let him go.
After all, it took him and the whole villagers so many years and so much effort to achieve the grand scene in the village.
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is mid-September.
The crowds in the village slowly faded away with the end of summer vacation, and the original tranquility returned again.
"Zhang An, have you packed up? Let's go now. Mom called again to urge me."
On the morning of September 26th, Su Ying Holding in his hand the artifact Nokia that Fatty Lu had given him before, he urged Zhang An.
School has been open for nearly a month now, but Su Ying did not go to school.
Because her belly is getting bigger and bigger now, her pregnancy has reached more than nine months, and it is time to wait for delivery.
So when school started, I had already applied for maternity leave.
The school was also very forthcoming and agreed immediately.
On the one hand, it was because during the last flood, students were forced to stay in school due to heavy rains. Zhang An organized the villagers to cook and deliver quilts to all the teachers and students, and also gave several sky.
Both students and teachers at the school keep this kind of thing firmly in mind.
On the other hand, this is because the second and third grades of junior high school in Changqing Middle School will start at the same time this year, and the recruitment of teachers has also been completed.
In addition to Su Ying, there are two Chinese teachers in the school now. After Su Ying takes maternity leave, someone will be able to take over the class.
So as soon as Su Ying submitted the application, Ou Lin agreed without saying a word.
"Okay, okay, you go to the car and wait, I will move the things to the car and we will leave."
Zhang An packed a lot of things in the room. Clothes, shoes, various daily necessities, and baby items that Wang Fang and Su Ying have prepared for a long time this year.
They are going to the city today. This is Wu Qiuping's strong request to let the two of them live there directly.
Because Changqing is still a rural area, and the distance to the city is still very far, so it is very inconvenient to go to the hospital.
Wu Qiuping was worried that they would not be able to rush to the hospital in time when Su Ying's delivery date came, so she asked them to move to the city during the next period of time.
This way, it is very convenient to go to the hospital at any time, and she has also asked for leave and is ready to take care of Su Ying at home.
Zhang An and Su Ying thought it was unnecessary at first, but they underestimated Wu Qiuping's concern for her daughter and her soon-to-be-born grandson. In his words, when his eldest daughter Su Xuan gave birth to a child, she had been taking care of her.
Now that the youngest daughter is here, she naturally needs a bowl of water to keep her even. No one can be left out.
So under Wu Qiuping's strong request, the two of them could only obey obediently.
Wang Fang also agrees very much. It is indeed more convenient to live in the city than at home.
What she initially thought was that if Wu Qiuping had to go to work, she would go and take care of Su Ying.
But knowing that Wu Qiuping had already asked for leave, she gave up the idea.
After all, this family cannot be separated from others, and Zhang Jianguo cannot get around it alone.
So for the time being, she would not go there with Zhang An and the others until the days when Su Ying gave birth.
After everything was ready, under Wang Fang's instructions, Zhang An started the car and drove slowly towards the entrance of the village.
When they arrived in the city, Wu Qiuping was already waiting downstairs.
She had already tidied up their room, which was Su Ying's old room. She cleaned it thoroughly before Zhang An and the others came over.
“Oh Bodhisattva, please slow down, you are such an adult, you don’t care about the importance of things.”
When going upstairs, Su Ying stepped on the stairs carelessly. This is remarkable. Wu Qiuping was frightened and quickly called Su Ying to stop and led her slowly upstairs.
Actually, Su Ying felt that it didn't matter. It was just going upstairs. It was not difficult for her.
Although she has a big belly, she has never felt any physical difficulty in moving.
But Naihe couldn't twist her thigh with her arms. In front of Wu Qiuping, she could only be obedient.
Zhang An was walking behind carrying things, and couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart. Finally, there was someone who could punish his wife.
At home, Wang Fang wanted to hold her in his hands, but he couldn't bear to say a word to her.
But when they got home, Wu Qiuping turned into the second Wang Fang, asking Su Ying in a gentle voice what she wanted to eat, and she went to prepare it.
At home, with Wang Fang taking care of him, Zhang An has always been like a fine person.
When they came to the city, the person who took care of Su Ying became the mother-in-law, but Zhang An was still like a normal person.
In the afternoon, after Su Shaowen got off work, he rushed home without delay, because he knew that his daughter would be back today.
When he returned home and saw his daughter and son-in-law on the sofa, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Dad, you're off work."
Zhang An treats Su Shaowen just like he treats Zhang Jianguo. After all, this father-in-law personally went to the house to bring him and Su Ying together.
It was only after Su Ying talked about it that he realized why Su Ying's family went to Changqing in the first place.
"Look, what I have prepared for you this time."
With that said, Zhang An came in carrying a birdcage from the balcony.
Inside is a pair of small orioles, which Zhang An grabbed from the space before coming.
Su Shaowen had never forgotten the fact that he wanted to raise a pair of chicks, so he had asked for the pair of orioles from the furry children.
Of course, this pair is not the previous two, this can only be regarded as their descendants.
Because after the two little guys were put into the space by Zhang An, they had already hatched nest after nest of little orioles.
These two were specially found by Zhang An among the many little orioles in the space. Not only are they very good-looking, they are also very smart and very approachable.
Moreover, Zhang An has trained them many times in the space. They have learned to respond to general instructions and are very suitable for raising Su Shaowen.
As for the cage to hold the bird, Zhang An asked Ding Yi to help him get it.
Originally, he wanted to make one himself, but later he discovered that he had underestimated the craftsmanship of the birdcage.
After trying several times, he gave up and asked Ding Yi to get one for him when he purchased the goods.
When Ding Yi heard that Zhang An wanted a birdcage, he thought that this man was so corrupt that he wanted to raise canaries.
Later I learned that they were prepared for Zhang An’s father-in-law. He even knocked a pair away from Zhang An and took them back to Mr. Ding.
"You kid, I was just talking about it for fun, why did you actually buy a pair?"
Su Shaowen looked at the two little orioles in the birdcage with great surprise on his face. But the words were full of blame.
He really envied the birds raised by the neighbors downstairs, but he didn't want Zhang An to have to worry about it.
After all, he is still busy at work and has not retired yet, so this thing is not necessary.
But he didn’t expect that Zhang An really brought him a pair this time.
"Haha, Dad, you guessed wrong. You didn't buy this, you caught it in the mountains."
Zhang An chuckled and handed the cage to himself Father-in-law.
Su Shaowen did not dare to reach out to pick it up at first, but looked at Wu Qiuping next to him.
After seeing that Wu Qiuping glanced at him but said nothing, she happily took the birdcage from Zhang An.
“This was caught in the mountains? But this is too close to people.”
Zhang Jianwen didn't quite believe that these two little orioles were caught from the mountains.
Because these two little guys were a little flustered at first when they got into his hands, and then they became close to him.
Such a little oriole, which is not wild at all, does not look like a wild bird caught in the mountains.
Even those little birds who have been trained for a long time may not be able to do this.
“If you don’t believe me, ask Xiaoying, this is a kid from the village who caught him, and I asked him to come here.”
After hearing this, Su Ying next to her couldn’t help but nodded. She saw it with her own eyes when Zhang An got the bird from the furry children.
“Yes, yes, these two little birds are so nice, especially the sound they make is really nice, and they actually know how to respond.”
The two little orioles. An ethereal cry really penetrated his heart.
