   Yan Runzhi stared nervously at Jiang Lin with her head raised below, and then moved east to west, her arms open for fear that Jiang Lin would slip down accidentally.

Jiang Lin checked, "The tiles on this are all good, but many of the tiles are dislocated and have to be re-paved, and the ridge tiles are broken, so they need to buy new replacements."

This is their old house for many years. The blue bricks and fired ash tiles are all made of excellent materials, which are much better than those of other people in the village.

The ridge tile is very important. It is the part that covers the junction. It is not easy to cover and specify rainwater leakage. The rainwater will soak the mud under it, and the rafters tied with the straw will also be soaked and need to be dried.

She looked up at the sky, the thick clouds dissipated, the blue sky was like washing, and it was beautiful and dazzling. Dongfang Yumaibai gradually burst into the rays of the sun, dyeing the sky red, orange, yellow and purple, as beautiful as overturned oil paint.

She thought that it should be a good weather!

She said: "It can't rain anymore, let the roof ridges to dry, so as not to rot the stalks below."

Yan Runzhi shouted from below: "If the morning glow does not go out, the sunset will travel thousands of miles, will it rain heavily."

Jiang Lin: "It will rain . Just cover it quickly, it won't be troublesome."

She checked the place where the rain was leaking, opened it to dry, turned it back and covered it with muddy tiles.

Jiang Lin stood on the roof and looked into the distance. She saw many people running out and shouting at those who were leaking rain, filling bags, dredging the gutters, and looking for someone to repair the roof. They were very busy.

Not far away, Cheng Ruhai's house was even more lively. Several chickens were drenched in soup. The rainwater in the yard turned into blisters. There was a leak in the house. The family was drying their quilts and drying their clothes.

Liu Honghua is even more funny, she will put on her mother-in-law's money as soon as the family is divided, and she will be on crutches! ! Seeing her jumping up and down with a stick, Jiang Lin smiled without restraint.

Jiang Lin: Che, do you want to be a mother-in-law before your daughter-in-law has married one?

She fiddled with it numbly, and hurriedly rearranged the tiles. She had to go down and mud, and bring it up to sew up the stalks.

At this time, someone finally saw her on the roof, and the exclamations came one after another, and they all ran to the brigade to see.

"Hey, Jiang Zhiqing is so hidden, she can still repair the roof!"

"Jiang Zhiqing, can you? When did you learn this trick?"

Many of them knew what Jiang Lin looked like before. Eyes are higher than the top, look down on people, but it's really high now, climb the roof, you can't go to the sky next?

Jiang Lin said loudly: "It still takes learning? Climb up and place the tiles, even a three-year-old child can do it. Of course, there must be tiles." Hehe, don't think about the wheat straw roof of Cheng Ruhai's house.

The sense of happiness is really better than coming out. How suffocating was living in a shack before? Now living in a brick house, Cheng Ruhai and Liu Honghua went to live in an adobe house, Jiang Lin felt extremely happy.

If there is another news that Bian Haitao is dead from the sky, it will be even more perfect.

Ha ha ha ha.

Some people couldn't get used to her complacent appearance, so they ran on her, "Jiang Zhiqing, you are so good, you can repair it for us."

Jiang Lin: "Okay, it depends on the situation and charges, and you bring your own materials."

She is a business People will never be as embarrassed as some people are embarrassed to ask for compensation because their neighbors are too familiar.

Some people were unhappy, "Jiang Zhiqing, why don't you keep your mouth shut? We are all in the same team, and we should help each other." People in the village don't charge for building houses, they help each other out, and it's fine to take care of two meals, you Need money to fix a roof?

Jiang Lin said loudly: "Then you say, I also have to go to work and eat. If I keep repairing roofs for others, then I drink rainwater?"

Someone laughed: "Yes, it makes sense, I have to pay wages."

Just as the women's director Cheng Yulian came over, she shouted: "Jiang Zhiqing, if you can, come and help me fix it. I'll give it to you depending on the situation. Either eggs or food will do."

Jiang Lin: "Okay, director, wait a moment."

Naturally, some people do not believe that a female educated youth can repair the roof? Lie.

Naturally, there are masons in the village, and even men from every household will order it. After all, they have to build their own walls.

However, the craftsmanship can be mixed, and some are very ugly.

Some people build the wall every day, but the building in front of them collapses without waiting for it to finish...

Some people repair the roof every day, but it still leaks when it rains, and I don't know what happened. Even if you find a professional mason to repair it, and you can find someone who can build a house to repair it, it will still not delay the leak!

It's weird.

The same is true of Cheng Yulian's family. Although her man is strong, he is not agile, and she is called clumsy. The roof of my house leaked, and it was originally a leak. As a result, he was able to fix it, and it turned into a leak in three places. It can't be more annoying! Find someone else to repair such a little thing, it's not worth the meal, no matter what. The family did not repair it properly, and even after taking care of the meal, they did not repair it completely. After the two rains, the storage continued to leak.

Damn, are you not angry?

Jiang Lin checked the roof of her house, knowing what she knew, and then came down. In her previous life, she did decorations and took over various businesses. This kind of wealthy people who returned to the pastoral style also took over, but it was more than a hundred times more advanced than the current one. So, just build a small roof, small idea! As long as you are bold and not afraid of heights, it is very simple.

Yan Runzhi patted her chest, "Mother Bao'er, it's scary, we women's family, don't do such a dangerous business." It's okay to be sleepy.

Jiang Lin: "It's okay, don't you know that many of those tall chimneys are built by women? Men are afraid that heights are useless." She also listened to the masters and didn't know whether it was true or not.

Yan Runzhi: ...... My daughter-in-law here needs to be sensible, no one else has anything to do.

Cheng Dabao and Cheng Xiaobao also got up at this time.

Cheng Xiaobao looked at the pots and pans placed on the kang, and the puddles of underground water, and immediately shouted, "Haha, rowing!"

Cheng Dabao frowned, looked at the ground and looked at the roof, then jumped to the ground. He rushed into the yard with his little feet, just in time to see Jiang Lin come down from the roof.

Cheng Dabao: "○o○!!!"

Jiang Lin clapped the mud on her hands and smiled: "Actually there are tiles on the roof, as long as your bare feet don't slip, there is no danger at all."

Yan Runzhi scooped water with a gourd scoop Punching her hands, I don't want to say anything anymore.

Cheng Xiaobao also ran out and was so happy, "Linlin! You're just like Dongsheng!"

Yan Runzhi and Jiang Lin asked for instructions in a more sincere tone, "Mother Baoer, what do you want for breakfast?"

Jiang Lin: "... "

She wants to say anything, will Yan Runzhi not know what to eat?

The locals usually prepare dry food for the next day at night, boil water and distill dry food to eat pickles in the morning, cook vegetables in salt water at noon, cook porridge or stew at night, and then prepare the staple food for the next day. Most people don't pay attention to it. It's good to have food to eat. No matter how you make it, it will always taste better.

If you want to change the pattern, wait for various festivals, eat dumplings for New Year's Eve, eat Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first month, February 2nd, March 3rd, Qingming Festival, etc., rely on festivals to improve your meals. This is still conditional. If you don't have the conditions, it's good to not be hungry. Do you still want to improve your meals during the festival? Go dream!

But she found that Yan Runzhi really worked hard to change patterns, even if there was no meat or fish, she could change a lot of patterns. Pancakes have enough steamed cakes, steamed cakes have enough rolled noodles, soup noodles have enough boiled noodles, fried noodles, cold noodles, and this does not include all kinds of porridge, paste, coarse grains...

Jiang Lin's heart was full of joy and emotion. She looked at Yan Runzhi with a very kind expression. Sometimes she had the urge to call Yan Runzhi Niang, but she couldn't. After all, she always called her mother, but if she called her mother It's a bit of a hindrance, so it's still the same.

She saw that Yan Runzhi looked at her slightly with a smile, as if waiting for instructions, and laughed again. She smiles unreservedly every day now, wondering if she will grow wrinkles in advance.

She said, "Boil millet porridge and boil eggs." There was still a staple food last night, so you can boil it.

Cheng Xiaobao: "Steamed cakes and eggs, Linlin is cute to eat."

Cheng Xiaobao is a foodie himself. If he wants to eat, he will say that Linlin likes to eat, because grandma likes to ask Linlin what she has eaten.

Yan Runzhi said: "Okay, I'll roll a few more cakes and steam them, and let's roll eggs to eat."

Jiang Lin: "Then I'll go to the director's house to see."

Cheng Dabao originally wanted to help set the fire, but now let Xiaobao set the fire , he followed.

Jiang Lin went to the roof of Cheng Yulian's house to have a look. Some of the tiles had pebbles under them. If they were not flat, could it leak rain? Hearing what Cheng Yulian said, she knew that someone must have done it on purpose. This is also a trick of some unscrupulous craftsmen. She can always come for two meals in one summer, and continue to come next year.

Jiang Lin repaired the two places where the rain leaked at Cheng Yulian's house in the morning. "As long as the tiles are not opened properly, they will not leak again. If they leak, I will be responsible for free maintenance."

Cheng Yulian used a crooked mouth gourd to hold six eggs . To her, "Jiang Zhiqing, don't think too much." The farmhouse's chicken butt is used as a bank, and eggs are the common currency, everyone recognizes it.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Director is polite, the eggs are good."

Cheng Dabao wanted to go up, but Jiang Lin wouldn't let him, so he could only wait with his head up. Her little face was tense until Jiang Lin got down, and she let out a sigh of relief, and raised her little hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. He has already admired it so much that Mom can really be half the sky.

Jiang Lin held the egg and smiled at Cheng Dabao: "There are eggs to eat again."

Cheng Dabao smiled at her: "Mom, you are amazing! Just like Dad!"

Jiang Lin led him home.

Someone with good faith came to Cheng Yulian's house and asked, "She's a woman, can she be better than the old men like Cheng Ruhai and Cheng Decai?"

Cheng De is the eldest son of Cheng Fuwan, who is a little lame and has studied masonry. Cheng Ruhai worked with him before and was responsible for helping people build houses. Later, Cheng Ruhai became the production captain of the third team of Shuihuai Village, so he stopped doing this job. Now Cheng Decai is responsible for the roofs of many people in the village, but he relies on his uncle Cheng Fugui as the secretary of the commune and his father as the captain of the second team. His work is getting more and more fooling people. grumble.

Cheng Yulian's family was repaired by Cheng Decai, and sometimes they had to queue up, but the repairs were done here and there, and another place leaked, and if it was blocked here, it could not be blocked there. Cheng Yulian naturally had an opinion. This year, Cheng Ruhai from their gang robbed her younger brother of the job of the production team leader again. Cheng Yulian had a greater opinion on them, so she naturally tried her best to introduce others to Jiang Lin to repair the roof.

"Of course, you didn't see Jiang Zhiqing stretching on the roof. People are neither afraid of heights nor coy, and they can do it. I looked at her, and it's right to find her. Is it false that a woman can hold up half the sky? Of course it is. Really!" She's the women's director and never forgets her work.

Some women went to Jiang Lin to try it. After all, they didn't need to worry about the meal, just give them a few eggs or a little grain, which would save them compared to Cheng Decai.

When Jiang Lin came home, Yan Runzhi took Xiaobao to finish cooking.

Xiaobao was drinking millet porridge, and when Jiang Lin came back, he hurriedly finished drinking it, and licked the bowl without hesitation.

Jiang Lin: "..." What's the situation?

Cheng Xiaobao winked at Dabao proudly, and Cheng Dabao knew that he was drinking porridge and adding sugar while Jiang Lin was away. Because Xiaobao didn't eat candy cubes for three days in a row, he wanted to dig the sugar jar at home, and he wanted to add a spoon of white sugar to drink water and porridge.

Cheng Dabao frowned and pouted the corner of his mouth at him, telling him not to be angry.

Cheng Xiaobao immediately held his hand and talked warmly.

Jiang Lin washed her hands and helped Yan Runzhi set the meal.

Yan Runzhi had already listened to her and didn't cook another meal. Before, Yan Runzhi always cooked something delicious for Jiang Lin and her children, and ate coarse grains such as dried sweet potatoes by herself.

Now Jiang Lin naturally refused, and asked Yan Runzhi to mix coarse grains and fine grains together and let everyone eat together. It is right for a family to share weal and woe. Only by knowing the difficulties can we know how to make progress.

Yan Runzhi mixed the fine flour and cornmeal when rolling the cake today. Although the Erhe Noodles is not as big as a pot lid and as thin as paper like the pure fine noodles, it is not as tough as the pure fine noodles. Roll the cake with eggs, or roll with shredded cucumber, shredded pickles, shredded green onion, and soy sauce. It tastes crunchy and fragrant.

Jiang Lin especially likes the green onions here. The green onions are one foot long, sweet and not spicy, which is simply addicting. While she was eating the pancakes, Xiao thought about the roast ducks in pancakes. If there were such sliced ​​scallions and pancakes, she could eat ten of them! !

Yan Runzhi saw that she was eating deliciously and the two children were happy, so she was even happier.

When they were eating, someone came to Jiang Zhiqing to help repair the roof, whether it had a tile roof or not. After hearing Cheng Yulian's words, they wanted to try it.

Maybe change the person, then the roof will be repaired!

Jiang Lin naturally has no refusal, she has to give eggs or food.

For two days in a row, Jiang Lin took Da Xiaobao to repair roofs for others to earn extra money to improve their lives, and she was very busy.

This can make some people jealous, but Cheng Decai doesn't matter. What can a roof do? Can't get a few eggs either. His mother-in-law bloomed, but he was so angry that he crooked his mouth and pointed at Sang and scolded Huai on the street, but unfortunately, because he was afraid of Cheng Rushan, he did not dare to name him.

In addition, Cheng Fugui personally told Cheng Fuwan and Cheng Ruhai that they should not make small moves against Yan Runzhi's family. What's more, Jiang Lin is still an educated youth and is protected by the educated youth policy, so she can go directly to the county to file a complaint. Therefore, the men all stopped, and they absolutely did not approach Yan Runzhi and Jiang Lin, so as not to anger her family's killer star.

Liu Honghua heard Ma Huahua scolding on the street, and ran over to intervene, "It's really a white-eyed wolf that is rarely found in the world, eating and drinking mine... Others, and bullying others! Why is there no one to treat her?" Hua Hua: "It's not difficult to treat her, the key..." Cheng Rushan came back, so he still can't settle the account?

Curse and relieve hate, who would dare to move Jiang Lin?

Liu Honghua said, "I know she's afraid of dogs." Once she accidentally saw Jiang Lin encounter two local dogs fighting, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid. In the countryside, dogs are running all over the place, and normal people are not afraid. The big deal is to hide and walk. How could they be scared like that?

At this time, Wei Qiongfang came over to find Ma Huahua, "Cousin, what do you say?"

Ma Huahua said in a sullen voice, "Is it irritating that someone with a good morality and talent makes a good living?"

Of course Wei Qiongfang knows that although the educated youth is far away The brigade should be far away, but what happens in the countryside can quickly spread to the whole village, not to mention she is watching.

She glanced at Liu Honghua and said to Ma Huahua: "Auntie, I just happen to have something to do. I'll go talk to you at home."

Ma Huahua thought she wanted to go through the formalities for returning to the city, "Have your receiving unit done it?"

Wei Qiongfang lived in her house before, but it was inconvenient for her son to get married, so Wei Qiongfang moved to an educated youth station. Although Wei Qiongfang has such a relationship with sesame and mung beans, it is not so easy to return to the city. The most important thing is that there needs to be a unit in the city to receive it. She has nothing to do with it.

Wei Qiongfang shook her head and took Ma Huahua away, "Cousin, what's the use of scolding you like that, I heard..." She said about Jiang Lin selling children.

Ma Huahua was skeptical, "Selling children? It's not credible, everyone is talking about it."

Although Jiang Lin went out before, Liu Honghua said that she was going to sell children, but most people would not believe it. people's? I can't even feed myself.

Seeing her disbelief, Wei Qiongfang became anxious: "Cousin, what I said is true, there are buyers."

Ma Huahua suddenly became excited, "Really? Where is the family?"

"I heard that it's a big car shop, the Zhao family, it's true."

Ma Huahua clapped his hands, "If it's really enough for that little bitch to drink a pot , Liu Honghua should handle this matter properly, and I will care about her when I look back."

But Liu Honghua was thinking about how to get a dog to scare Jiang Lin, it's better to scare her so that she doesn't dare to go out again, it's better to be stupid.

When she went home, she walked past Jiang Lin's house and saw many women queuing up to find Jiang Lin. Seeing that she had been looking for her and Cheng Decai's house to repair the roof, she would come to curry favor with Jiang Lin, and Liu Honghua was so jealous that she always felt that she had missed a thousand eggs.

"Jiang Zhiqing, what's our number? We have a big hole in our house, do you want to fill it up first? If it rains again, it will be over."

"Jiang Zhiqing..." The women chattered like a vegetable market, scrambling to think about it. Let Jiang Lin order herself.

Jiang Lin waved her hand, "Don't worry, everyone, you have to come one by one. But I see that you have to buy some tiles."

"We want to buy them, but we can't afford them."

"It's not easy to arrange the numbers. "

Jiang Lin said: "Everyone can buy it together. Buy a car and share it back, at least cover the roof." Many leaks are caused by the roof's ridge.

Although she wants to buy tiles herself, she won't say that I will carry them for you. Of course, the transportation cost must be shared equally.

They began to discuss who can buy tiles.

In the end, Widow Huang said: "Jiang Zhiqing, let's do it, you have the culture and know people, you can buy it for us."

Other women asked Jiang Lin to help.

Jiang Lin said: "If you want me to help, then you have to decide how much you want, including the transportation fee. Everyone has to pay first, and then I can go to the commune to find someone to help." She will definitely ask for money, and she must say it in advance. .

She asked for money, and the women found her more credible.

The price of tiles is now transparent, at 15 cents a piece, and a ridge tile costs 25 cents a piece because it is in the shape of a saddle. Because the supply of small tile factories is in short supply, many people cannot buy them. And the big brick and tile factory is too far from the local area. If you want to buy it, you have to transport it. There is no livestock car at home. It is not cost-effective to rely on a collective or public transportation team.

Jiang Lin is willing to help, they are naturally willing, someone takes the lead, and everyone shares it equally, which is always more powerful than one person.

Jiang Lin asked them to tell the cadres of the brigade that she would take the lead and give her a letter of introduction, so that she could talk to others. With Cheng Yulian taking the lead, this happened quickly, and Jiang Lin got the letter of introduction.

The cadres of the brigade were extremely surprised. This Jiang Zhiqing had complained and complained before, but now she has changed his temper, and there is nothing to do with men!

The educated youth who knew Jiang Lin were even more unbelievable, especially Meng Yiyi who deliberately hid After spending a few days with Jiang Lin, I wanted to let Jiang Lin dry and ask her to apologize. As a result, Jiang Lin ignored her at all, as if she had forgotten about her, and Meng Yiyi felt like she was going to vomit blood.

During lunch that day, Jiang Lin said to Yan Runzhi, "mother, I'll go to the commune later."

Yan Runzhi didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would be able to do things that even the men could not do well, and she felt distressed if her daughter-in-law would tired. But she didn't stop her, she just said: "Go ahead, we can do what we can, don't be tired, how much money you make is not as important as your health."

Maybe she is pregnant with a little granddaughter!

Jiang Lin smiled: "Okay. "

Cheng Dabao: "I'll go too!" Cheng Dabao was nervous as soon as his mother went out, for fear that, just like when he went to Zhao's house, another man would come and say Linlin, let's leave these assholes and go back to the city.

Jiang Lin didn't know what he was worried about, and smiled: "Mother is going to do business, it's not for fun."

Cheng Dabao: "I'm a man, father is not at home, I'll accompany you."

Anyway, there needs to be a man at home.

Jiang Lin looked at him with a small face and a stubborn look, as if it would be wrong not to take him.

She laughed, "Okay, let's go, the commune is not far away anyway."

Cheng Xiaobao immediately laughed, his eyes drifting into the room, Linlin is gone, he can go and eat candy.

Jiang Lin glanced at him, hehe, you can count me as a loser!
