Chapter 390 The food is better than the Chinese New Year
"Congratulations! Good luck!"

"Congratulations, Chen Hui!"

"Chen Hui, congratulations! You're building a house right after getting married. There really is an order to building a family and a career."

"Good luck, good luck, this house is built very well!"

The villagers who came to help gathered around and said auspicious words.

"Good luck, good luck!"

Chen Huihong stood a little further away, repeating these four words with deep emotion.

She lowered her head, wiped her tears, and went back to Wu Jinhua's house to boil water and make tea.

Chen Hui and An Wenjing dealt with it together for a while.

Wang Kunhua greeted the enthusiastic villagers who came to help.

Some people climbed higher, some people handed things over, and everyone worked together to build the roof.

Chen Hui saw that it was already past nine o'clock, so he pulled Chen Xiaoqiao, who was smiling like an auntie, over and said:

"Uncle Xiaoqiao, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to the town to buy some rice!"

After saying this, without waiting for Chen Xiaoqiao's response, Chen Hui left in a hurry.

"Ah?! Leave it to me?"

Chen Xiaoqiao was stunned to see Yuan Chuanfang walking towards the village.

He quickly ran over to hold her and said, "Mom! You can't leave! Chen Hui said to leave this to me, how can I do it?"

"What could this have to do with you?"

"Just stay here. If there's anything you can do to help, just go and lend a hand."

"There are a lot of people eating at noon. I'll go see if Huihong has anything to do together."

After Yuan Chuanfang finished speaking, he patted Chen Xiaoqiao’s hand and left.

Chen Xiaoqiao thought about it and agreed.

He stood where Wang Kunhua often stood, with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the people coming and going with their work in a very serious manner.

Chen Hui rode his tricycle to the town and brought back fifty kilograms of rice and some vermicelli.

For most families, the only time they can eat rice is during festivals.

When Chen Hui moved the rice in, some sharp-eyed villagers saw it and looked expectant on their faces.

Wait till it’s time for lunch.

I found that there were not only rice, fish, and half-meat and vegetarian dishes fried with meat, but also two vegetarian dishes.

Everyone was grinning from ear to ear, saying that today's half-day work was well worth it.

"I didn't expect that I came here just to help, but I unexpectedly had a meal that was better than Chinese New Year!"

"Chen Hui, when will your family build another house?"

"Why build a house? Isn't there still a housewarming?"

"Are you stupid? You don't want to give red envelopes when you attend a wedding?"

Several villagers were chatting animatedly.

Chen Huihong and An Wenjing happily added more rice and dishes to everyone.

Yuan Chuanfang wanted to help.

Being carried by Chen Hui and Chen Xiaoqiao, he went back to Wu Jianhua's house and sat at a square table to eat.

It is the busy farming season and everyone has a lot of work to do at home.

After lunch, the villagers who came to help left.

Chen Hui returned the cleaned dishes to Wang Hongmei.

He turned around and passed by his house, stopped and looked up.

There is strength in numbers.

In just half a day, the roof was completed, and even the bricks and stones that fixed the tiles were pressed into the right position.

"Chen Hui, give me the key to your bicycle lock."

"Also, when did you say you were going to go out to sea yesterday?"

"Your aunt asked me to go back and get her two sets of clothes, and to help you check the time with Wu Guang and the others."

Wu Shuisheng came over from Wu Jinhua's house and asked.

Even though just the two of them can go.

If you go together, it will be more fun to go out to sea, and you can also share the round-trip expenses.

Wang Kunhua, who was not far away, heard it.

He rushed over and said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine, or tonight is fine too!"

"The key to the car lock is with my mother-in-law, ask her to give it to you." "You can decide on the sailing date, it would be best if it were within the next two days."

"Sister Juanjuan's family will be guests on Saturday, so we have to return to the port no later than Saturday morning," said Chen Hui.

“It’s Saturday.”

Wu Shuisheng thought for a moment, "What day is today?"

"Today is Wednesday." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Oh, it's Wednesday already. Time flies!"

"The weather was good last week, I hope it will be better than this week."

Wu Shuisheng said this and looked up at the sky.

The sun, which was scorching hot in the morning, softened by lunch time.

People who go out to sea to eat are particularly sensitive to changes in weather.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Don't talk nonsense, it must be a good day!" Wang Kunhua said nervously.

"Captain Wang, don't be so nervous."

"It's a good thing that it rained today. If we pour out the accumulated water, there will be no more rain in two days."

Wu Shuisheng laughed, waved his hand and left.

"Oh! Business is difficult and money is hard to make." Wang Kunhua sighed and called on the workers to start working.

Chen Hui borrowed pots, pans, and utensils from other villagers and returned them to each household.

Thinking that the time was almost up, he went to the village to find Chen Guobiao.

Seeing Chen Hui coming empty-handed, Chen Guobiao asked, "Huh? Didn't I ask you to bring a gun today?"

"Oops! I forgot because I had too many things to do this morning. I'll go back and get it."

Chen Hui explained with a smile.

Just as he walked out of the village, a loud thunder frightened him and he shrank back.

"Is it thundering?" Chen Guobiao walked out to see.

The brightness around had dropped a lot, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if another big thunder was about to strike at any time.

He sighed and said, "Hey, I wanted to take you for a walk in the mountains this afternoon, but how can I do that now?"

"Going up the mountain, and starting practical training so soon?" Chen Hui said in surprise.

"Let's do it another day. With such a heavy thunderstorm, the road in the barren mountains is impassable." Chen Guobiao shook his head and said.

Clang!

Boom!

After a few thunders and lightnings, the rain fell impatiently.

It was dark all around, with only the sound of rain hitting the roofs and trees.

Now there's no way to leave.

Chen Hui simply moved a stool and sat at the door to watch the rain.

"By the way, you're really lucky!"

"God is giving you the benefit of the doubt. It will not start raining until your roof is finished."

"If it rains this hard this morning, it will be difficult to carry the beams."

Chen Guobiao lit a cigarette and handed one to Chen Hui with emotion.

"I don't smoke. Do you have any tea?" Chen Hui waved his hand and asked.

"Hey, you are so young, but you act like an old man, drinking tea instead of smoking."

Chen Guobiao made a teasing remark, found a cup, washed it, and made a cup of tea for Chen Hui.

Summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

After an hour of rain, the sky cleared up.

Wang Kunhua looked at the sunlight shining down and felt relieved.

He then called on the workers to continue working.

It was impossible to go up the mountain, so Chen Hui played with a slingshot for a long time in the open space outside the village.

On the way back from the village, I happened to meet a group of workers who were leaving together.

"Chen Hui, is your uncle back?"

"It was just to pick up some clothes and make an appointment, why did it take you so long?" Wang Kunhua stopped the person and asked.

"My uncle." Chen Hui couldn't help but laugh.
