As neighbors, the two families get along well. Besides, when the bandits came, if it hadn't been for Chen Miao, things might not have been the same.
The preliminary work was all arranged, and Chen Miao was lying on the kang with a smile on her face.
I wanted to live in a better place before, but I was scared all the time and didn't have the courage.
The same will be true for the next four years. The puppet troops are better than the Japs, but not much better.
If you can deal with the little devils, you can definitely deal with the puppet troops. Why let yourself live in cowardice? It’s not that you don’t have this condition?
Thinking of this, Chen Miao chuckled and remembered a skit that said it was not without this condition.
Forget it. Now that you've made your decision, don't think about it. What's wrong with building a house? All your money came from the hands of little devils and bad guys.
90% of them will contribute to the country, and the remaining 10% also want to live a good life for themselves.
Early the next morning, before we had eaten, there were voices outside the yard.
Luo Bingyuan went out and came back to tell Chen Miao that he had started working.
This is great. Although it costs money, it saves worry, right?
There was no need to worry about food, so today Chen Miao thought about going to the brick factory to pull bricks. The floor of the house had to be laid with bricks, but the big dirt floor was really enough.
Zhao Xiaoyun came with his children and heard that Chen Miao was going to work. "You wait, I will go home and ask your elder brother to drive the car, and we will go with you."
"The relationship is good. If you give it away for free, you should get it back quickly, otherwise you will lose money if you lose it."
My father is taking care of me at home, and Shen Wufu will definitely come over. I don’t understand even at home.
Shen Jianchun and his wife drove over, "From Xiaofeng's family, I'll drive your family's carriage."
Men like these, Chen Miao smiled and nodded.
The two children were a little envious as they watched their mother driving to leave.
"You are men and should be watched at home."
Luo Bingyuan was a little depressed. She originally wanted to go, but was rejected by Chen Miao. Did she regard herself as a useless person? How should I actually put it? Is she really a useless person?
Chen Dongsheng and Shen Wufu were squatting aside and smoking.
"This house looks domineering."
"Three girls can build it if they like. They got a lot of money and contributed it all. It's not impossible to live a better life by yourself."
"Yes. You can do better than the old men. After building the house, their mother's life will be easier. Is thirty yuan enough?"
Chen Dongsheng shook his head, "Not enough. Labor costs fifteen yuan, bricks cost fifteen yuan, stones cost five yuan, and tiles cost eight yuan. The purlins and flower stands will also cost seven or eight yuan."
"Fifty dollars isn't enough?"
"It's about three to five yuan more. I can't make it by myself, so I'll ask a few of my colleagues to help them move in during the winter."
"I have two pieces of good wood at home. You can give their mother a cupboard."
"You'd better keep it." At this age, those who have good wood at home will save it to build their own coffins.
"It's okay. Ask Jianchun to follow me up the mountain in winter. Ordinary wood will do.
And I can also do some work with you, I am a carpenter with two knives."
"Okay. We need a lot of window frames and door frames. This girl wants to build her own house in one go."
"That's right, save the money and prepare it later."
"What are you going to do this afternoon?"
"It's okay, I won't break the corn until tomorrow."
"You stare here while I look at the wood."
"Okay. It's okay."
There were fifteen people digging the foundation, and they worked really fast.
Chen Miao and the other three drove to the brick factory, where the trucks were also being loaded.
After greeting the boss, the three of them started loading the car.
Chen Miao handed Zhao Xiaoyun a pair of gloves, but Shen Jianchun didn't want them.
The carriage was much bigger than the donkey cart, but he was able to load it faster than the two of them.
"We can bring them all back if we come one more time."
"What do you need so many bricks for? To build a house?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked.
Chen Miao shook his head, "No. I just wanted to find someone to lay bricks on the floor of the house so it would be clean."
"Is there still a gap? You can ask the construction team, they will definitely use cement for you. Can't you just hit the ground more often?"
"Cement?"
"yes."
Chen Miao thought of cement. He remembered that cement might have been called cement before and was built by foreigners from the previous dynasty.
"Then the relationship is better, I'll go back and ask."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it cost you a hundred yuan to build this house."
"It can't be used, even if it's for household use."
"In the future, when I have money, I will also build a big house." Zhao Xiaoyun really envies Chen Miao. In fact, who doesn't envy him?
After saying this, the three of them drove away.
They were already unloading the truck when they arrived at their family's house. It could be said that anyone in the village who didn't have an autumn harvest came to watch the fun and help. The children were laughing and playing around.
Watching them unloading the truck, people in the village came to help, and they finished unloading the truck quickly.
Luo Bingyuan went to feed the animals, and Chen Miao went to the construction team master to ask about the cement.
"I ordered six thousand kilograms, which will be used when building walls. I will also use some for building houses."
"Uncle, can you order more? I also want to cover the ground with cement."
"That's two thousand more pounds."
Chen Miao nodded, "Then I'll hit the ground too. I'll feel good after finishing it in one go."
"Yes, I told them to lift an extra two thousand kilograms, and it will take a few days before they go to pull it. If you say in a few days that it is really not worth it, you will have to pull two thousand kilograms alone, and it will not be enough for the fare."
"Uncle, don't count too little, just buy more."
"I know, don't worry."
Now Chen Miao was happy. This house was built better than the landlord's house, right? It must be comfortable to live in it.
Luo Bingyuan went on the second trip to pick up bricks, and he strongly requested to go.
Chen Miao stayed at home. After a while a load of stones came, and then there came bricks. Anyway, they were all being unloaded.
Chen Miao smiled when she saw the wooden figure pulled back. With her father, she really didn't have anything to worry about?
The purlins are all unloaded here, and the remaining wood is sent to the Chen family. Chen Dongsheng wants to start making window frames, and his daughter requires that the windows be bifurcated. If you do it yourself, you will spend less money.
The three sons of the Chen family also came to help. They treated the girl differently after going up the mountain last year.
Chen Miao doesn't matter. Who wants to be like a five-eyed chicken every day if they can get along well with each other?
I paid eight yuan and three trucks of flower stands will be delivered tomorrow. It’s actually not expensive, there are so many purlins.
Luo Bingyuan and the three of them came back after dark, and all the bricks were pulled back.
The foundation has been dug and the stones can be laid tomorrow.
Chen Miao had a smile on her face. Luo Bingyuan looked sideways, knowing that every time she brought back cotton and cloth, she was not so happy. In fact, it is quite easy to be satisfied, right?
Fifteen people came the next day. Chen Miao also saw the cement, which is cement. This was good, and the ground was covered.
Regardless of food, we still have to give people water to drink. We might as well make tea in a bucket. Although it’s a little bit different, it’s a little more flavorful than plain water.
