After Lao Xu finished speaking, he turned around without talking to Zhang Chi, went back to the kitchen cart, took out a fire tong, and clamped the big mouse directly.
When the two dogs saw that they had caught the mouse, they let go.
Meow meow!
The thin little milking sound started to sound again.
The more Zhang Chi looked at Ergou, the more he liked him, so he grabbed Ergou in his hand and turned to leave.
When Lao Xu saw it, he asked, "Hey, what are you going to do?"
"Feed Ergou for breakfast, take care of the mouse!" After saying that, he followed Ergou and left without looking back.
When Lao Xu saw the mouse on the fire clip, he turned to look at Zizhou and found a stone not far away, so he walked over and put the mouse on the stone, stepped on the mouse's head with his head and gave it a try.
Got a big rat.
He picked up the tong and looked around again, then threw the mouse into a small forest not far away, then hummed a little tune and returned the tong to the kitchen cart.
Zhang Chi had already prepared a full basin of milk powder. Ergou, a foodie, directly inserted half of his face into the milk basin, and the food he ate was extremely satisfying.
Lao Xu came to Zhang Chi's side, looked at the two dogs and asked: "Your cat has given birth to a kitten, give me one. There are many mice in my place, and the cats at home are of no use."
"I am a male cat, how can I give it to you?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
"Male cat?"
Lao Xu didn't believe it, so he took the two dogs out of the food bowl.
Ergou, who was eating his meal, was a little unhappy. He meowed and twisted his body to get closer to the basin.
Lao Xu took the two dogs and said to Zhang Chi: "You are a male cat? Just keep it to yourself!"
"Yes... I'm going to go." Zhang Chi looked at the second dog and found that the second dog was not a male cat, but a small female cat.
"You can't tell a male from a female cat, right?"
Lao Xu felt that the expression on Zhang Chi's face didn't look like he was pretending. He obviously didn't know that the cat was a female cat.
"My aunt said it was a male cat, so I didn't care," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi really didn't notice this these days. His mother-in-law said it was a male cat, so he just thought so. How could he have thought that Ergou was actually a female cat? This was a big deal!
"We agreed, give me one of the pups after you get rid of them." Lao Xu put the two dogs back to the edge of the basin.
Ergou, who was freed from Lao Xu's control, happily inserted his head into the milk basin again.
"Okay, don't blame me if the kitten doesn't work hard then," Zhang Chi said.
"I can't blame you for this." Lao Xu looked at Ergou who was sucking milk with a smile.
"By the way, why are you here so early today?" Zhang Chi asked.
Lao Xu said: "Isn't it allowed to transport the sewage tank to you?"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed behind him. Only then did Zhang Chi realize that the pickup truck that Lao Xu drove today was a long bucket, and there was a huge iron can on the bucket.
"Will you bury this today?"
Lao Xu said: "Well, we will bury it today. After this is buried, there will be no big work here."
"What about solar panels? They don't count?" Zhang Chi asked.
Lao Xu said: "There are people who specialize in installation. We don't need it. Once they have installed it, we can just connect the wires here. By the way, the small generator used in your RV will not work. It is best to use a larger one."
Generator, otherwise I won’t be able to carry the refrigerator and other uses in the future.
Don’t buy here. Things sold in the United States are too expensive. It’s better to buy domestic ones. There are also 110-volt generators in China now..."
"I know, I'll contact you later!"
Zhang Chi decided to call Brother Ma later. Not only did he want to buy a larger generator, but he also wanted to buy a firewood stove. With his current pot, it is inconvenient to do anything here. The stove hole is too small.
You have to cut the fish into several pieces to stew it, which is really annoying.
The two chatted for a while, and Lao Xu left after seeing the cans unloaded, while Zhang Chi practiced his cowboy skills on his family's ranch.
The lasso and other things, Zhang Chi played it quite easily in other people's videos, but when it was his turn, he couldn't do it. The cowboy in the video could throw the lasso into a circle, but when it was Zhang Chi's turn to throw it, at most it was
After a day or two of roping a line, there was still little progress, let alone practicing roping a calf.
The lasso got stuck. Zhang Chi returned to the RV, put down the lasso and went to see someone installing a sewage tank. They didn't want his help, so he just watched boredly.
Just looking at this thing, I kept watching until someone else finished the work, which meant I watched it for several hours. It was really boring.
The sewage tank is installed, which means that the toilet and other items in the house can be used.
The water and electricity in the room have also been completed. Needless to say electricity, solar panels are used. If the sun is not strong, then a generator is needed.
Zhang Chi has nothing to do about water or anything like that. Logically speaking, he needs to hire someone to dig a well, but everyone knows the depth of Zhang Chi's pockets, so he doesn't have that condition yet.
There is only one water storage tank now, about two or three cubic meters, which is enough for the time being anyway.
For Zhang Chi, transporting water is also a simple matter. Just load it directly on the gourd. It is a little troublesome, but it saves money.
In the next few days, Zhang Chi gave full play to his spirit of watching the excitement and watched the workers finishing up his room. This time it was mainly about painting the room. The floor needed a layer of wear-resistant paint, and the walls needed to be painted.
You also need to apply a layer of paint or something.
The bigger job is the installation of various cabinets.
As for furniture and the like, Lao Xu will not cover it. Zhang Chi has to figure out how to deal with these things himself.
As I watched, the house was getting closer to completion day by day.
Zhang Chi had his own little home for the first time in his life, so he gradually appeared in front of him.
Although the house is small, it is well-equipped with everything it needs. There is a range hood in the kitchen, a shower in the bathroom, and a fireplace for winter use.
As for other things, they are not available yet. Zhang Chi decided to wait for some second-hand sales in the city to see if there are any bargains.
Needless to say, the warehouse and the cowshed are very simple. It is a space surrounded by four walls. The warehouse is smaller and the cowshed is larger. The roof of the cowshed is equipped with some solar panels like the house, which can provide a certain amount of lighting for the cowshed.
.
Everything is almost done, and it's time to finish.
Lao Xu rushed over at noon and took Zhang Chi to inspect everything inside and out.
"If there is no problem, sign here, and the remaining money will be transferred to this account within a week." Seeing that Zhang Chi didn't care, Lao Xu handed an order in his hand to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi really couldn't fault it. Although the house was not big, the price was quite affordable. It was more than enough to live alone. Even if the whole family came, they could barely squeeze in.
There is nothing common about the houses here. The living area of the house is the same as the internal area. Don’t underestimate the 70 to 80 square meters house. In China, it may be over 90.
square.
Everyone got along well with each other, and Lao Xu even made some changes here, removing some places that were not very practical, and increasing the area of the house by several square meters.
The house now has a layout of two bedrooms and one living room. Both rooms face south. There is also a small room, which can be used as a storage room or a small room when guests come. In general, Zhang
Chi is very satisfied with the current layout of his house.
It’s okay not to be dissatisfied. Even with the money in Zhang Chi’s pocket, he can’t live in a house like his eldest uncle’s wife.
Zhang Chi took the order, signed his name, returned the order to Lao Xu and said, "Then let's have a good meal tonight or tomorrow, and I'll throw a thank you banquet for you!"
Everyone gets along very well these days, with no minor conflicts at all. Zhang Chi feels that he needs to treat the workers to a meal according to our Chinese tradition.
After hearing this, Lao Xu waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, no need! Most of the workers will have to come with me later, and the remaining workers will also have to go back in the evening. Even if our fate is officially over, wait
We'll come back when you get rich and build a big house."
"So anxious?"
Zhang Chi was a little surprised when he heard this, why he had to leave right after we finished here, and didn't even have time to have a meal.
Lao Xu said: "There is no way. It is cold here for half the year. If we don't make some money during these few months, there will be fewer projects to start when the snow comes."
"It's not too late for a meal, right?" Zhang Chi still wanted to keep someone.
Lao Xu said: "Let's wait until there is a chance in the future. Let's eat and drink together again when we have the chance. We really can't find time at this time. We have to eat intermittently. If we are in a hurry, we won't be able to taste the food."
Lao Xu really doesn't have time to have dinner with Zhang Chi. He currently has three projects in hand and has to work on them continuously. If he eats here for a long time, the following projects may be affected.
People who do projects would rather rush forward than delay the time. The longer they delay, the more work they will do. When the time comes, they will not be able to deliver the work on time, which will affect their reputation.
Reputation is very important when working here, and a lot of it is earned through word of mouth. This is the case with Zhang Chi's work. If you can't finish the job on time, and others have objections, they will naturally not give it to their friends.
Introduce your team.
After hearing this, Zhang Chi had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's get together again at some time, and you can do your work first."
"That's right, I won't tell you anymore. I have to clean up and rush to the next house. If there is any problem with the house, just call me." After speaking, Lao Xu waved his hand to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi watched Lao Xu leave with a few workers, and saw Aunt Lu and Uncle Chen also starting to pack up the kitchen cart, so he walked over.
"Xiao Zhang, let's go." Aunt Lu saw Zhang Chi walking over and said hello with a smile.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "After this period of time, I'm still a little reluctant to let you go."
Lao Chen said with a smile: "There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. If we leave today, there will be a time to get together again in the future. Anyway, we all live not far away. This small house here is definitely not practical, so
, we will definitely get together again in the future.”
"That's true. By the way, you two are leaving soon?"
"Of course we have to leave, otherwise the workers over there will have no food to eat. We have prepared lunch for the remaining people, and they will have to go there in the evening..." Aunt Lu said.
Zhang Chi took the advice, loaded all their things into the kitchen truck, and then watched the couple leave their ranch in the pickup truck.
After sending away Aunt Lu and his wife, there are now only two workers left in the ranch. These are also the ones who clean up the house. Some construction waste and other materials in the house are sorted and then put into the pickup truck and taken away.
After the project was completed, Zhang Chi was left with a clean house.
