“Mom, where did you get the letter?”
The letter was brought back by Li Decheng from the town to help. I heard that the letter was from home, and Meng Daguo and Meng Eryong both ran back to see what was going on.
When my father was alive, every time he wrote a letter at home was a big deal. My mother opened the letter and hurriedly finished reading it, and then threw it to them. Meng Daguo picked up the letter and read it to his two younger brothers.
After my father passed away, no letter came again.
Zhen Zhen opened the letter and took a look. The letter said that the problem of the great country father had been cleared, but it had not been verified. However, the leader has urged the superiors to implement the compensation as soon as possible, and the money would be paid before April at the latest.
Five hundred and fifty yuan is not much, but it just attracts people to worry about it. Zhen Zhen closed the letter, “It was a letter from your father’s army. Maybe he heard about Eryong’s marriage and sent the gift.”
Zhen Zhen did not lie. His father in the country was very popular. When he heard about Meng Eryong’s marriage, ten comrades in the army raised five yuan each, a total of fifty yuan in membership, and they sent it with the letter.
Meng Eryong was ecstatic when he saw the money, “Mom, my father’s comrades are quite generous, and he is fifty at the same time!”
“I am not generous! Every household is having difficulty in life these days, so this money must be saved by gritting their teeth. It’s just that your father died early and wants to help!”
Although there are contacts, when the child gets married, he will probably not write a letter to notify Zhen Zhen. This money is considered to be back and forth.
Zhen Zhen didn’t worry too much and locked the money into the cabinet.
After the 550 yuan subsidy from Daguo Dafa was paid, she could have 700 yuan in hand. She felt uncomfortable living in this house and she had already wanted to build a few tiled houses.
Building a house is not easy these days. You have to prepare bricks and tiles one year in advance. For example, the mud thatched house where Zhen Zhen lives now costs about 150 yuan to build three rooms, and the cost of tiled houses will be tripled.
The amount of 700 yuan is enough to build five rooms. This is based on the fact that the villagers come to volunteer to help and all the wood used for building the house is cut down on the mountain.
However, it is one thing to feel uncomfortable living in a house. Meng Hua’s house was occupied by Meng Eryong. He didn’t have a house to live in this time. He couldn’t ask his son to sleep on the road. It was urgent to build a house.
The Meng family has a large population, a large homestead, and a spacious yard. It is possible to build six rooms in a horizontal direction. She lives in one room, the eldest and the second family have two rooms, and the third family has one room for the time being, and the third family will be expanded in a few years.
Zhen Zhen planned this way, but this plan also has shortcomings. It is like having more children at home and can live in it now. In a few years, the children will have to sleep in separate rooms when they grow up, and the house at home will not be enough.
But homesteads are limited, so you can’t build buildings.
It’s too eye-catching! Let’s talk about the reform and opening up in a few years. She wants to encourage the children to go out and make a fortune. Then the family will not be able to do so.It’s not that important to have a house built so well.
Meng Eryong came out of Zhen Zhen’s room and was pulled into the room by Tao Aihong.
“Who has the letter from him has come from the army?”
Meng Eryong frowned, “No, I said Tao Aihong, why do you always care about our family’s money? Not to mention that my father’s death subsidy has not been downloaded, even if it has been downloaded, it is not your turn to worry about it!”
Tao Aihong was so angry that I was thinking about, “What’s wrong with my mother having three sons, and our second wife should be divided into one-third, let alone the eldest grandson of your old Meng family in my belly! Our second wife should be divided into more!”
Meng Eryong looked dark and didn’t say anything.
He also loves money, but that was the subsidy after his father died in his country. It was exchanged for his father’s life. It was only 550 yuan in total, and the family was only 100 or 200 yuan. He didn’t want to be stabbed by someone because he took this little money.
“I just entered the door and thought about our family’s money. What else do you have to think about? I can tell you that my mother is still alive and we don’t have a family. I don’t need you to think about this subsidy money!”
Tao Aihong curled her lips and said to herself that everyone is dead, why don’t you let me worry about it?
“Don’t think I don’t know. It’s all your mother’s instigation. I can tell you Tao Aihong. Even if we get the money, we are not allowed to subsidize your disabled brother!”
Tao Aihong is not stupid. She doesn’t want to subsidize Tao Jiang. She is just afraid that her mother is biased towards the big and third bedrooms.
As soon as Zhen Zhen sat down, Tao Aihong handed over the bowls and chopsticks. She was so attentive that she was simply out of tune.
Zhen Zhen looked outside, “Oh! Why didn’t anyone call me to see the strange scene today?”
Meng Eryong said silly: “Mom, what a strange scene?”
“Why didn’t the sun come out from the west today, and he took a bowl, chopstick, and served a stool to serve rice. I thought the sun came out from the west!”
Tao Aihong blushed with shame, “Mom, don’t I want to perform well, but you see what you said!”
Zhen Zhen wanted to smile, “Do you want to perform well, or do you think about the money in my pocket, and you can still hide your little scruples from me?”
Tao Aihong laughed dryly.
“Mom, I don’t mean that.”
Jiao Huilan was still in a while. She heard that a letter from the army had been sent by her father’s comrades, but her family’s money was never allowed to interfere, and she didn’t care about it.
Zhen Zhen thought about it and simply said clearly: “Your father’s subsidy has not been released yet. If it comes down one day, I want to use this money to build a few tiled houses for your brothers.”
“Mom!” Meng Daguo was the first to object, “That was exchanged for his life. How can we sons have the right to use this money”
