Wen Shunzi bit a root of grass in his mouth and smashed the grass juice into it. He waved and said with a smile: "I have eaten a few more meats during the Chinese New Year this year. My wife thinks I am fat and wants me to work more. I am planning to go to town."
Find someone to do it for you. Uncle Meng, your family is going to build a house, so that’s good, I won’t have to run to town!"
Mr. Liu glanced at him and laughed at him, "You boy, you have agreed to work hard for me when you come back! I can't compare to working in the town. I only pay fifteen cents a day and have two meals."
meal!"
You can earn twenty cents a day working in the town, but that doesn’t include food!
Besides, the helpers in this village don't care that much.
"Don't worry, Old Uncle Meng! I will work hard! I hope I can build your house in half a year, so that you don't have to go to town and have trouble!"
Liu Laomeng's eyes widened when he heard this, "I'm just going to build a few houses, not a big house, it will take half a year or a year! You kid, don't even think about being lazy and working as a day laborer. I can do two months for ten days of work!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Wen Shunzi grinned, "How could that be possible! Am I that kind of person?"
Song Qiu also laughed at the side, "Uncle Shunzi just wants to work in the village and is too lazy to go to the town!"
Wen Shunzi glanced at her. He was thick-skinned and admitted that he was just too lazy to run so far to find work. "Hehe! Isn't that right? I thought that Aqiu and your workshop could continue to work well, but this
The sweet potato harvest will have to wait until the second half of the year."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Ah Qiu, let's talk about sweet potatoes in the second half of the year. Will you open a workshop to make starch?"
He worked for more than a month last year and earned most of the money. Otherwise, why would his wife be willing to buy meat during the Chinese New Year!
Song Qiu shook his head, "I have sold the recipe for making starch, and I will not open another starch workshop."
However, since the red peppers were harvested in autumn, she still had to make a large amount of bean paste so that the fertilizer would not go to other people's fields, so she would have to hire people from the village.
Now she understands why their village is so united, because with the leadership and coordination of the village chief, they count their ancestors backwards, and they are originally one family!
No wonder what happened to Mrs. Cao, the village chief was willing to give her money without saying a word at first.
It's just that Granny Cao and her son were too arrogant, and the village chief had no choice but to grit his teeth and drive them out.
Moreover, Miao Xiang is still here, and the roots of the Cao family are still there, so I am not missing a family.
She thought that fifteen taels of silver was nothing. When Miao Xiang got old, she would ask her to go home and find a new wife, and it would not be considered a matter of selling herself.
After hearing this, not only Wen Shunzi but also everyone was a little disappointed. Without this workshop, there would be no wages to earn.
A Qiu opened the vermicelli workshop on Zhuangzi with six people in the village. Even though it was good, they couldn't get in.
I haven't had such good income this year, so I can't bear to buy meat during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Song Qiu didn't say anything about the peppers. It was still early and the peppers hadn't been planted yet. We would talk about it later.
Now, she also has a job to hire.
"What I was about to say! Grandpa Meng's family is going to build a house, and my family is also planning to build a new house! You uncles and uncles will work on Grandpa Meng's house first, and then you can help my house after you finish the work!"
Everyone was feeling regretful. When they heard this, they suddenly brightened up and started talking to each other.
"Aqiu, your family is going to build a new house? Where will it be built? Should the homestead be rezoned or should it be built at the original location?"
"I was just saying, Aqiu, that it's time for your family to build a new house! I remember that your grandfather was always mumbling about a big yard with blue bricks at that time! Now, Aqiu, you are making a difference, so you can satisfy your grandfather.
I believe he will be happy with this wish even under the ground."
"Aqiu, how big a house do you plan to build? It has to be like Hugua's house, right? Nowadays, blue bricks and tiles are expensive. Will you use blue bricks or make them out of wood like your inn?"
"..."
No wonder everyone is excited, Aqiu is now the most promising person in their village. He runs an inn and does such a big business, making a lot of money.
We are going to build a new house, and we are going to build a big yard. It has to be the most impressive in the village!
This house is really built, it’s in their village, it looks grand, and they will respect it!
Just like the Huangjia Village mentioned above, once upon a time Huang Yuanwai’s grandfather made a fortune and rebuilt his own house into a big village. At that time, it was the envy of all the villages in the world. The children and daughters in Huangjia Village were better at marrying each other than in other villages.
It's easy to say.
That Zhuangzi is still bought by Aqiu.
Song Qiu was asked enthusiastically by the villagers and answered them one by one very patiently.
"It will be built on the original land, but I guess the land is still a bit small. I am planning to ask the village chief to help me measure it. The large piece of land next to my house that was pushed out will be allocated together. I will also give money according to the price.
No one in the village will rob me, right?"
"It's still comfortable to live in a blue brick house, and it can last for several generations! I don't use wood, but only blue bricks and tiles."
"When the time comes, we will build a grand blue-brick courtyard, and my father will be happy to look at it underground!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and praised Song Qiu, saying that when the time comes, just ask them to help build the house.
The blue brick courtyard needs to be expanded to the side. It is definitely bigger than the Zhang family's. It will take at least several months to build. Well, it can earn half a tael of silver.
Everyone was imagining more about the blue brick courtyard of the Zhang family, but they never expected that the blue brick courtyard that Song Qiu mentioned was completely different from what they thought!
At that time, the man was so surprised that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear.
But they don't know that right now.
Song Qiu told him that he wanted to build a house. He watched the village chief finish measuring the Liu family's land. It would still be dark for a while anyway, so he walked over and said, "Grandpa, the village chief, we happen to have all these tools. We all have them."
Now, will you go over and measure mine as well?"
The village chief first watched Song Qiu take Li Mi out of the village. He was in a state of confusion. He was still thinking about the secret that he couldn't know. Did his father ask Aqiu to listen in later?
Otherwise, why would she come out with Li Mi?
But when I think about it, I think it's impossible. His father won't even let him listen. How could he let a little girl like A Qiu know?
"Okay, let's go to your house and measure it right now." He responded, but he didn't know that he hadn't guessed that Song Qiu really knew something that he didn't know.
If he knew that Song Qiu knew about it, he would be furious and shout that his father is partial.
The villagers joined in the fun and went up the gentle slope together.
Old Yuan was drying the wilted cabbage heads hanging on the eaves steps. He was surprised to see so many people coming to his house.
Song Qiu took a few steps in and told her that the Liu family was going to build a house. They happened to start building the house, and the village chief came over to measure the land next to it.
When Old Yuan heard this, he grinned happily.
Is this ready to be built?
Oops, I can spend the Chinese New Year in my new house this year.
