Chapter 136
"I have also changed the door lock of Comrade Fan's room. This is the door key. You can lock the door from the side when you go to bed at night."
Meng Haisheng brought Fan Zhenzhen to see the door lock he had remodeled.
Generally, the doors of villagers' houses are not locked, but only slightly locked with a wooden latch.
This kind of door lock is very low in security. You can pry the wooden latch open with a sharp knife along the crack of the door.
Meng Haisheng replaced it with an iron latch with a keyhole on it, which can be locked directly.
This kind of iron latch is installed inside and outside several rooms of their family.
Especially in the main hall, he installed two.
"Thank you, Comrade Meng."
"Comrade Fan, you are too polite."
Fan Zhenzhen looked at the new lock and iron latch on the wooden door and felt very grateful.
Before coming to Xiashan Village, Fan Zhenzhen was full of fighting spirit and thought that he would get the experimental report in a short time.
When she came, she felt that she was well prepared. After she came, she found that the living conditions in Xiashan Village were much more difficult than she had imagined.
Especially after someone broke the window paper, she felt even more uncertain.
If she had not lived in Meng Haisheng's house these days, she would have run away long ago.
"Comrade Meng, we are so familiar with each other, so don't call me comrade, just call me Zhenzhen."
"I'd better call you technician Fan."
Meng Haisheng is a married man, and it sounds a bit awkward to call someone Zhenzhen.
"Okay, Brother Meng, how about the alfalfa seeds I bought for you?"
"Very good, the germination rate is very high, I estimate that it can be harvested before the weather gets cold."
Alfalfa and cattail grass are actually weeds, and their vitality is not ordinary.
After two consecutive autumn rains, the originally bare wasteland was covered with green in a few days.
"That's good. I was afraid that the seeds I brought you were not good enough."
Fan Zhenzhen wanted to say a few more words to Meng Haisheng, but Meng Daniu soon called Meng Haisheng away.
Fan Zhenzhen glanced at Meng Haisheng's back, then looked at the brand new window, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
Is Meng Haisheng trying to please her on purpose? Changing windows and painting walls.
But he's already married.
Fan Zhenzhen didn't know that the reason why Meng Haisheng was so active was because he felt that Fan Zhenzhen living in his house was too much of a hindrance.
He wanted to be more intimate with his wife, but his wife was not the same.
On the other side, Meng Daniu shyly called Meng Haisheng to his new house.
"Haisheng, I heard that you bought a lot of wool sweaters from the south. Can you give me two? My Chunhua wants them too."
Today, Lin Mucheng wore a rose-red wool sweater and took Momo to play on the street. Many aunts and sisters-in-law saw Lin Mucheng's wool sweater.
They usually wear knitted sweaters or acrylic sweaters, and few of them have bought wool sweaters.
Wool sweaters are very soft to the touch, which is incomparable to acrylic sweaters.
Everyone wanted to ask Lin Mucheng where he bought it, and also wanted to buy one for himself during the Chinese New Year.
As a result, they found out that Meng Haisheng brought it back from the south, and it was sold for 20 yuan in Ninggang City, so everyone gave up.
Even the new brides in the village are not well-off, so who would be willing to spend 20 yuan on a sweater?
Lang Chunhua mentioned it to Meng Daniu, and Meng Daniu took it to heart, so he came to Meng Haisheng.
"That's easy, I'll bring back several pieces, what color do you want, Sister Chunhua?"
Meng Daniu thought for a while and asked for a bright red one.
"My mother went to Chunhua's house to propose marriage two days ago. This time, they agreed and said that we will get married in December this year."
"We will go to get the marriage certificate tomorrow."
"So urgent?"
Meng Haisheng was a little surprised. How could the two get the marriage certificate so quickly?
Meng Daniu smiled honestly, "Aunt Lang said that my family has built a house. In order to avoid more trouble, we should get the marriage certificate first."
Meng Haisheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was something that Ma Jinying could think of.
After entering November, Xiashan Village became colder and colder, and fewer and fewer people went to the mountains to catch earthworms.
Those who saw that the business of Bupleurum was gone and were ready to resell earthworms all gave up after a few days.
It was so cold that the earthworms went deeper into the soil, making it difficult to catch them.
Seeing that the number of earthworms was decreasing, Meng Haisheng simply stopped collecting them.
After sorting out the things at home, he was going to send earthworms to the Chinese Medicine Hospital again, so he would not go.
Without collecting earthworms, Meng Haisheng put all his thoughts on Lin Mucheng.
He specially chose a day with good weather, personally drove the tractor, and took Lin Mucheng and Momo to the county cram school to stay temporarily.
Buying a house is not something that can be done with just a few wordsAfter the decision was made, Meng Haisheng thought that he should move in first while Lin Mucheng's belly was not too big, and he could look for a house slowly.
In order to prevent Lin Mucheng from being bumped in the tractor, Meng Haisheng took the two thickest mattresses in his home to cushion Lin Mucheng, so as not to hurt her.
Qu Lan and Meng Guangzhu also came with him, and they just happened to follow Meng Haisheng to see Meng Yu.
Qi Shangdong's legs were almost healed, although he was still not very agile, but he could walk with crutches.
Meng Guangzhu hoped that they could get the marriage certificate as soon as possible.
Meng Haisheng drove a tractor, pulled a car full of people and things, and stopped at the textile workers' community.
"Mom and Dad, you are here."
Hearing the sound of the tractor, Meng Yu hurried out to see.
"We came to see you."
The tractor's bucket was quite high, and Meng Haisheng specially took a high stool for Lin Mucheng to stand on.
Meng Yu saw that Lin Mucheng's belly was scary, so he hurried forward to help.
"Oh my god, Haisheng, you guys are so brave. You just drove a tractor to bring Mucheng here."
Meng Yu was so scared that she quickly helped Lin Mucheng to sit inside.
"Sister, I know. I ran slower than a bicycle all the way. I was afraid that I would bump my wife."
Meng Haisheng came into the house with a laugh. Meng Xuan also heard the noise coming from the next room.
"Haisheng, you came at the right time. Last time you told me that you wanted me to go back to the village to raise rabbits. I don't think it's necessary. I can just teach children to write in the county. It's enough to support my family."
Qiao Shangdong saw Meng Haisheng coming and quickly told Meng Haisheng about the writing class.
He took the children to the writing class at 40 cents per class.
At first he thought that he would not be able to enroll many people, but he didn't expect that there were 6 students who signed up on the first day. Later, the number of students who came to class every day remained at 6-10 children.
40 cents per person a day is a few dollars. Excluding Saturdays and weekends, he can earn 80 yuan even if there are only 20 days in a month.
This much money is not as good as raising rabbits in the countryside.
