Chapter 149 Working and Gaining Weight
"Sister-in-law, have I offended you in some way? How can you find a lot of faults in the food I brought to you?" Wang Ronghua was not a soft-hearted person, especially when it came to this kind of sarcastic tone.
"Second sister-in-law is here, please come in and sit down. Why do you bring a fish with you? It's such a big one." Zhao Yu had just come back from collecting grass for pigs outside.
Since she came back, she bought two piglets to raise and also bought some more chickens.
After what happened last time, Zhao Yushi has changed a lot, but it is normal to have many disputes, quarrels and selfish thoughts when living under the same roof.
"Didn't you send some crispy fish over yesterday? Nannan enjoyed them very much. We went fishing yesterday afternoon, and most of the fish we caught were big ones. I'll send one over today for you to try." After saying this, Wang Ronghua stuffed the fish into Zhao Yu's hands.
"It turned out that we were able to catch a big fish yesterday afternoon. No wonder I thought something happened when I saw so many people in the village going to the river. It turned out that they caught a big fish. Thank you very much, second sister-in-law." Zhao Yu took the fish with a smile and weighed it. It was not light.
"Then I'll go back first." Wang Ronghua nodded, turned around and left.
To be honest, she didn't want to come to this old house at all. If it wasn't for the sake of saving face and not having people stabbing them in the back, she really wouldn't want to come.
"Hey, take care, second sister-in-law." After watching Wang Ronghua walk out, Zhao Yu looked back at Zhao Chen.
He looked at Zhao Chen as if she were a fool.
As expected, Zhao Guoguang and Zhao Chen were a perfect match. Birds of a feather flock together. She had seen that kind of look too many times, the look of looking down on others when they couldn't curry favor with them. No wonder they ended up like this.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Chen frowned.
"I just think some people still can't see clearly, they are really stupid." After saying this, Zhao Yushi went to the kitchen to clean the fish and drink fish soup in the evening.
Zhao Chen glared at Zhao Yu, then went back to her room angrily. However, after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what the third son's wife was talking about.
She didn't dare to offend the third son's wife now, and even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't say it out loud, because she was the wife of a juren, and Zhao Guochang was now a teacher. Zhao Chen also wanted the third son to take her youngest son to go to private school together. After all, Youwen, the third son's son, had already gone to study at the private school in Wangjiacun.
This is also the reason why Zhao Yushi was so hardworking. Zhao Guochang rented a house in Wangjia Village to take his eldest son Zhao Youwen to study, while Zhao Yushi took his youngest daughter Zhao Youjing to work at home.
This way I can earn more money and support my children's education.
Otherwise, Zhao Yu would not be so diligent. After all, Zhao Chen was a lazy woman who would not move at all unless she was whipped.
He is lazy about housework as much as possible, he is not good at anything and eating is his top priority.
Zhao Yu prepared fish for lunch and everyone enjoyed the meal.
.......
Zhao Laoer’s house is at the end of the village.
Lunch consisted of two large bowls of fish, two plates of crispy fish, and two vegetables.
The table was filled with four dishes, all of which were generous in portion.
Even the food today is something we don’t usually have.
"Wow, this crispy fish is so delicious. It must be fried in oil. It smells so good." said Liu Chuanmu.
"Yes, I heard last night that many people in the village were fishing in the river. Some families even caught several big fish. They were really lucky."
"No matter how much you fish, it's not as much as Guocheng. Some people saw Guocheng carrying it in a backpack."
"Really? No wonder we have such a big basin of fish today. Guocheng, you are so generous."
"It's not just the size of the fish. It would cost a lot of money if we went to a restaurant."
"Don't worry about eating it, I will go to the river to fish after I finish eating." Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.
"Hahaha... I'm not polite then. I've gained a lot of weight working at your house lately."
"Everyone is different. Last night my wife asked me why I had a little extra fat around my waist. Did I cheat on her?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Everyone has gained a lot of weight while working at Zhao Laoer's house during this period.
Although they only have one big meal a day, it is full of oil. Wang Ronghua is willing to use a lot of oil when cooking, so the soup base is greasy, especially the meat dishes. It can be seen that the men have gained weight recently.
Everyone was eating and chatting, and time passed quickly. After eating, everyone went to the workshop.
Only then did everyone have time to look around the workshop.
The workshop is really big, with four rows of houses, all of which are double-row houses. It will be almost completed this afternoon, and the next step is to build the wall.
At this time Zhao Guocheng also came.
"Mr. Zhao, can we finish building the remaining houses today and build the walls tomorrow?" asked the bricklayer.
"Yes, just call me Zhao Lao Er, don't call me Zhao Erye. We country folk can't bear the word 'ye'." Zhao Guocheng waved his hand.
"Haha... Guocheng, you have a big family and a lot of money, so you definitely can't be called a master, so don't be so modest." A villager joked. "You kid, just tease me, but don't let me get the chance, I will definitely retaliate." Zhao Guocheng smiled and pointed at the other party.
"What if there aren't enough bricks tomorrow?" The bricklayer looked around and looked at Zhao Guocheng.
"I just came here to ask you, will there be enough bricks and tiles for tomorrow? If not, I will go and fetch a few trucks back in the afternoon. Also, after the wall is built, choose a larger open space and make a simple kitchen. Then you can calculate how much bricks and tiles are needed." Zhao Guocheng also had a plan and he had discussed it with Wang Ronghua long ago.
"Then you'll need to haul a lot of bricks, at least ten trucks. You don't need to haul tiles for the time being. See how many are left after today's work." The bricklayer nodded and estimated. He could only give a rough number now. Whether it would be enough would depend on the last two days of work.
"Okay, then I'll go and pull it back first. If it's not enough, I'll come back later. Anyway, the wall must be built higher. If there are not enough bricks, we can use stones." Zhao Guocheng said.
When the two men had almost finished their discussion, Zhao Guocheng left.
The villagers have also started working, after all, there is still a lot of work to do today.
........
While having dinner in the evening, Zhao Guocheng looked at everyone after taking only two bites.
"Our workshop is almost done, so what should we name it?" Zhao Guocheng looked at the few people.
Several people were stunned by Zhao Guocheng's question and couldn't answer for a while.
"Does the workshop need a name?" Zhao Shimin was a little confused.
"Of course we need to give it a name. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. The name is related to our family's future business. Why don't we think about it carefully? It's a pity that Shengzi and Huizi are not at home, otherwise they would definitely be able to come up with many names." Wang Ronghua was a little disappointed, but also a little happy.
"That's right, but we are not bad either. If we think about it more, we will definitely be able to figure it out." Zhao Guocheng nodded.
"How about calling it Zhao's Workshop?" Zhao Shiying suggested.
"Zhao's workshop?" Zhao Guocheng was stunned and looked at Wang Ronghua.
