Chapter 51: Building a House
Before dawn the next day, Li Yuqing was woken up by a knock on the door. It's still early, no one should come here so early. Yesterday, Li Yuqing told them that she would come over to help at about six o'clock in the morning, and now it was still early, and she was to blame for forgetting Chen Dazhuang.
In the middle of the night, when the rooster just crowed, Chen Dazhuang got up, simply cleaned up and rushed over. can't blame him, thinking that Li Yuqing built a house to pick up his family, he has been looking forward to it since he knew, and now it is finally the day of construction, how can he sleep, if there are wings, he will probably fly over a long time ago.
Li Yuqing was afraid that the people outside the door would wait too long, because she wore underwear when she slept at night, so she put on a coat and went out, and when she opened the door, she saw Chen Dazhuang standing outside.
Li Yuqing was speechless for a while, it was so early, Chen Dazhuang's house was more than ten miles away from here, and it was estimated that he would leave in the middle of the night. "Uncle, why are you here so early? ”
Chen Dazhuang didn't feel anything, and touched his hair wet with dew, "Hehe, isn't that just that I've been waiting since you finished speaking, it's not easy to look forward to it, I want to come early and help you."
Li Yuqing knew that he probably hadn't slept all night, and it was still early, anyway, he bought him a futon yesterday, so he let him lie on the kang and rest.
led him into the house, Chen Dazhuang took out a bag of things from the basket on his back, Li Yuqing thought that he had brought something from home, his own family lacked nothing now, there was no need to bring things over, and before Li Yuqing could say anything, Chen Dazhuang solved her puzzles.
"Yuqing, see what uncle brought over," said as he opened the things and handed them to Li Yuqing.
Li Yuqing took a closer look, I wiped this is not a modern firecracker, it's just a modern small dot, a big dot here, a string of more than 20 like small light bulbs, it turns out that there are already firecrackers here.
Li Yuqing pretended not to know and asked, "Uncle, ・・・・・・ this?"
Chen Dazhuang was very happy to see Li Yuqing's incomprehension look, and said proudly, "This is an earthen cannon, I have seen people in the county town when they built a new house, I let it go, I heard that there is a good saying that this is called prosperity." I know you don't understand these and bought it, and when we start work in the morning, we will put it, so that our future days will be better and better" After speaking, I felt that what I said was very reasonable, and nodded in affirmation.
Hey, isn't it just a firecracker, Li Yuqing doesn't want to hit him, and I don't know how much money this rare thing cost him, so it's his heart anyway.
Li Yuqing pretended to look at Chen Dazhuang with a look of adoration, "Uncle knows so much, we will let everyone go in the morning." ”
After Li Yuqing's affirmation, Chen Dazhuang was even happier, and felt that the more than 100 yuan he spent was worth it. Li Yuqing took out the futon he bought for Chen Dazhuang and spread it on the kang, Chen Dazhuang saw the brand-new futon, listened to Li Yuqing say that he bought it for himself, and happily touched the futon, he hadn't covered a new quilt for many years, maybe it was only covered when he got married, so many years, thinking about his family is a little sad.
I didn't rest well all night, and after walking so far, Chen Dazhuang was really tired, lying on the kang and thinking about the past for a while, he remembered the sound of snoring, looked at the sky, and the people who went to work in half an hour came, Li Yuqing couldn't sleep anymore, so he packed up and went to make breakfast.
In the past two days, I thought that she had just started building a house, and some details needed to be explained by her, so I didn't send toons. Besides, money is not earned all at once, and now building a house is her top priority.
I cooked and wanted Chen Dazhuang to rest more, so I didn't ask Chen Dazhuang to get up. Li Yuqing left a copy for him alone and put it in the pot to warm, and Li Yuxin and Li Minghao ate some first.
Not long after breakfast, the workers came one after another after breakfast.
Li Daniu walked in the front and entered Li Yuqing's home. Seeing that someone was almost here, he stepped forward to wake up Chen Dazhuang. Chen Dazhuang, who was sleepy-eyed, saw a room of people in a daze, and woke up in fright, and scratched his head embarrassedly, from his face to his neck.
Everyone laughed when they saw him with an embarrassed face, and when Chen Dazhuang saw others laughing, he also laughed.
The laughter continued for a long time before stopping, Li Daniu looked at the smiling Li Yuqing and asked, "Yuqing, you didn't say where to build it yesterday, how big it should be." ”
Li Yuqing then remembered and forgot about this stubble, "Blame me, I forgot to say it yesterday, I want to build the vacant land next to my house, that is, all the way to the foot of the mountain." Build a house in the middle of the open space, and then fence it with green bricks. The house I live in now was not moved for now, and the new house was built and then demolished and rebuilt. Uncle Niu looks feasible. ”
"This, such a big place. In terms of the money for Yuqing to build a house, Li Daniu didn't expect Li Yuqing to build such a big place, and he would need a lot of money, although he knew that she made some money, but he didn't believe that there was so much to kill.
"Uncle Niu, don't worry, I asked that it should be enough, even if it is not enough now, I will earn it again when I build it, and I guarantee that your salary will not be reduced by then." ”
"Look at what you said, we still don't worry about you. Even if you don't wait for a while, it's never too late. Said someone who had come to help before
Li Yuqing is very grateful for their trust, but there are still some things to be clarified, and it is not good or unsatisfactory to save time. "To an uncle and uncle, please rest assured, they all say that their brothers settle accounts, we still have the old saying, there is a reward for a good job, and don't blame your niece for not giving face when the time comes. ”
Although he said that he didn't care, his heart was still full of care. It's not a rich person, it's all hard work, and when everyone sees Li Yuqing's repeated assurances, they are completely relieved and eager to try. This is a big project, and I heard that it is necessary to build a wooden house, and it is unique in the whole town and even the provincial capital.
Li Yuqing and Li Daniu agreed on what kind of trees to cut, and asked him to take the villagers to the mountains. Chen Dazhuang saw that Li Daniu was gone, and he was also busy getting up to dig the foundation with the rest of the people. Li Yuqing grabbed him and insisted that he finish breakfast before letting him leave.
Because I told the villagers in advance not to dig first, and then I would do it when Chen Dazhuang came. When Chen Dazhuang and Li Yuqing went, they were waiting there with shovels. Chen Dazhuang put the firecracker in his hand on the ground, took out the fire fold and blew it, and lit it at the fuse. There was a thudding sound, which scared the people who were still curious about what Chen Dazhuang was holding into a cold sweat.
When the sound of firecrackers stopped, Chen Dazhuang shouted "start work" before the people working behind came back to their senses. I didn't know what it was, until Chen Dazhuang said it when we were working together, and everyone knew that this was a way to beg for money in the county.
The first thing to do is to build a shed for Chen Dazhuang to live in at night, and a simple tent was built in less than half a day with a large number of people. Just put a few rocks on it and use a wooden plank as a bed.
It's summer now, and the sun is hot and dry, because the place where I live now is not demolished, so I asked Li Yuxin to brush the cauldron and prepare to boil mung bean soup and send it to the people who dig the foundation and the mountain.
After boiling a large pot, after the soup was cold, Li Yuqing carried a wooden bucket and scooped the soup into the bucket and sent it to the villagers who were digging the foundation outside. After the people outside drank with a spoon, Li Yuqing and Li Yuxin carried the refilled bucket to the mountain. When they came back, both of them were exhausted and exhausted.
Lying on the kang, Li Minghao obediently rubbed her arm, and Li Yuqing enjoyed it. Tilting his head to look at Li Yuxin, who is also tired, she is very distressed, today is only the first day, and I don't know how much I need to do well in the future, so I can't go on like this, not to mention that Li Yuxin's little arms and legs are pure child abuse.
I still found someone to deliver tea, and Li Yuxin, who didn't spend much money and saved money, suffered from himself. Thinking of this, the first person who appeared in his head was Sun Guihua. Be good to your own family, the most important thing is that people are diligent, and leave it to her to rest assured.
When Li Yuqing left work at night, Li Yuqing specially asked Li Daniu to stay, and when everyone was finished, Li Yuqing said what she thought. In the future, I asked Sun to come over at noon every day to cook mung bean soup and send it to the helpers, 20 wen a day.
Li Daniu was very happy to hear it, there was so much money at noon alone. thinks that Li Yuqing is helping herself, and she is even more grateful to her. In fact, Li Daniu misunderstood Li Yuqing, she just felt too tired and didn't want to do it, and she was reluctant to do it. I wanted to let someone do it or not, and besides, she was only familiar with the Sun family, so she handed it over to her.
Seeing Li Daniu thanking him vigorously, Li Yuqing didn't bother to pick it out, so he could go as he wanted.
