Chapter 9 Seeking Help
Haha! In fact, there is another reason; it is still quite difficult for me to adjust to the lifestyle outside. Take sleeping, for example! I usually only start feeling sleepy around 11 o'clock, which conflicts with your schedule. Living at my second uncle's place is really inconvenient. " Chu Jiaqiang added another compelling reason.
Chu Shengyi held his son, placing him on the ground, and said to Chu Jiaqiang: "Don't pay attention to him; this little brat's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Last time at the market, he actually clung to a remote-controlled car that cost over 50 yuan. He rolled on the ground and refused to get up unless I bought it for him, which really infuriated me. You still indulge him; Uncle Shengyi's days are going to be tough from now on"
Well! Everything else is fine, but we need to choose an auspicious day to rebuild the stove, and we must sacrifice a chicken to honor the Stove God. I will keep an eye on this matter and will find a few people in the next couple of days to take care of it. By the time you return after resigning, it should be about done. " Uncle Er nodded slightly and said
Chu Jiaqiang himself also noticed that his alcohol tolerance had increased. Although he could drink before, just a few liang of liquor would make his head spin. Now, surprisingly, he does not feel dizzy and his face does not flush.
Oh! Is Jiaqiang here? Come in and have a seat! Just as Chu Shengyi was about to go out, he heard the dog barking. When he came out to take a look, he found that it was the university student who had arrived, and he immediately invited Chu Jiaqiang to come in and sit down
"A Qiang! Are you really planning to move back to the old house? Isn't it quite nice here with Uncle Er? It's not far either!" Uncle Er asked during breakfast.
Uncle Wu has no sons, and at home, he only has his old partner for company. He has a daughter, but she is already married. Upon seeing Chu Jiaqiang and Chu Shengyi arriving together, he naturally exchanged pleasantries. Chu Jiaqiang immediately conveyed his intentions, and upon hearing this, Uncle Wu nodded in agreement, ready to accompany Chu Jiaqiang to the old house for a visit before making a final decision
I will inform Grandpa Village Chief about this matter shortly! I also need to ask Uncle Shengyi to help bring back some bricks, cement, and lime. Uncle, if you have time, please help clean up the old house first! Chu Jiaqiang decided to go personally, as there were some matters that needed to be clearly explained, such as the specifications for applying lime and so on
Well then! Although the old house is a bit worn, it was built by our ancestors and is still quite sturdy. However, it has been uninhabited for too long, so we need to clean and organize it. The electrical wiring needs to be reinstalled; otherwise, it won't be safe. We also need to arrange for some essential household appliances, and by the way, do you think the interior needs a refresh? Uncle Er, seeing that he could not persuade Chu Jiaqiang, had no choice but to wholeheartedly help him get the old house in order. We also need to arrange for some essential household appliances, and by the way, do you think the interior needs a refresh?
Before Chu Jiaqiang even reached the door, the large dog at the old village chief's house began to bark furiously. A group of recently weaned puppies followed suit, all barking in unison. However, their immature voices lacked any sense of threat, and instead, they seemed quite endearing.
"Uncle Shengyi, I have come this time to trouble everyone with some matters," Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.
Chu Shengyi does not refer to his parents as "Dad" and "Mom," but rather as "Uncle" and "Aunt." This is not uncommon in the Chu family village. In rural areas, especially among some older individuals, it is believed that certain people's fates are in conflict with their parents. In such cases, they cannot call them "Dad" and "Mom," as it is thought that this could lead to the parents' demise. Instead, they use terms like "Uncle" and "Aunt," or even other titles.
Remember, Qiangzi said that next time he comes back, he would buy Huzi Superman and monsters. Did Qiangzi buy them? Children always say whatever comes to their mind
"That's fine, you have grown up, and you must gradually learn to handle these matters yourself." Uncle Yi thought that this could help strengthen Chu Jiaqiang, so he decided to let go.
The next morning, Chu Jiaqiang, as he did the day before, got up early to exercise; this is likely to become a habitual behavior for Chu Jiaqiang
Returning to my second uncle's home, I took a shower, then watched television and chatted with him for a while before playing on my phone. It was until 10:00 PM that I, fearing to disturb my second uncle and others' rest, retreated to my room. However, it was not until after 11:00 PM that I began to feel sleepy, which is also influenced by my biological clock
"Yo! Qiangzi has arrived. Come, come! Please take a seat!" The old village chief stood up
Does Little Tiger still remember Brother Qiang? When Chu Jiaqiang saw a sturdy boy running out, he immediately picked him up.
Subsequently, Uncle Er's family went to help clean the old house, while Chu Jiaqiang headed towards the old village chief's home. Along the way, he encountered many people working in the fields, naturally exchanging greetings continuously
Hello, Grandpa and Grandma Village Chief, and Aunt Yi!" Chu Jiaqiang greeted.
Haha! What trouble is there? It's not like we're from somewhere else. Why say so many formalities?" Chu Shengyi laughed heartily, then called out to the room, "Uncle, Aunt! Guess who has come?
That's good. By the way, regarding the expenses for www.hetushucom.com, you must not interfere, Uncle. Jiawan has only one year left before the college entrance examination, and you need to save that money for her university education. As for the household appliances and such, I will keep an eye out in town after I resign and will bring them back. Chu Jiaqiang had to give his uncle a heads-up in advance. Based on his understanding of his uncle, if he didn't say anything, his uncle would probably settle the accounts secretly.
After sitting for a while, Chu Jiaqiang went with Chu Shengyi to visit Uncle Wu again
Well! Let's apply a layer of lime! Add another layer of cement to the floor, and also, focus on the toilet, shower room, and kitchen. The toilet doesn't need to meet the city standards, just make it like Uncle Er's, as long as it can cover the odor. I checked the shower room the day before yesterday; the door needs to be replaced. Actually, it's fine to combine the toilet and shower room; there's no need to go through the trouble of building a new toilet. The stove in the kitchen needs to be rebuilt. " Chu Jiaqiang said all this in one breath. Actually, it's fine to combine the toilet and shower room; there's no need to go through the trouble of building a new toilet. The stove in the kitchen needs to be rebuilt. " Chu Jiaqiang said all this in one breath.
Uncle Er let out a bitter smile, and could only nod in agreement, knowing that his nephew had some savings. Moreover, Chu Jiaqiang had indeed articulated his concerns; his daughter was about to take the college entrance examination, which was why he did not insist further
Chu Jiaqiang forced a smile, thinking that this little fellow probably remembered his own existence because of the Ultraman, as well as the wicked monsters and books
"Good, good! A few days ago, I heard someone say you have returned." The village head's grandmother was clearly very happy to see Chu Jiaqiang, and Aunt Yi also nodded with a smile, asking if Chu Jiaqiang had eaten breakfast. Chu Jiaqiang replied that he had already eaten; otherwise, given the villagers' warm hospitality, even if there was nothing left in the pot, they would surely cook another batch.
Haha! In a couple of days, I will go to Qiangzi's place to pick it up, or Qiangzi will bring it to you.
Chu Jiaqiang directly stated his intentions, and the village chief did not hesitate, saying decisively: "This matter is simple. Your fifth uncle is in construction; he is definitely the right person to consult. You should go with your uncle Shengyi to Old Wu's place shortly. Note down how much material is needed, and by the way, help bring it back."
Chu Jiaqiang speculated that this should also be due to the Shanhe Map, right? In fact, there are two reasons: the Shanhe Map indeed played a role, but the primary factor is still the true energy cultivated by Chu Jiaqiang causing trouble. The true energy constantly circulates within the body, and when the alcohol concentration in the body becomes too high, it will decompose on its own
Most people just had a meal, chatted for an hour or two, and then left. Chu Jiaxiong's parents were busy sending guests off and distributing red envelopes. Chu Jiaqiang and others were left behind, and they had to stay for another meal in the evening before they could leave
