Chapter 8 Building a House

Ding Dashan prepared the bricks and timber and began to recruit workers to build a house, because everyone had already planted wheat, and since everyone had already passed the wheat, many people came to help Ding Yiyi's family build a house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Ding Yiyi's family built three south houses, and built a kitchen and a granary on the east side. Ding Dashan's family gave each person 20 wen wages a day, took care of a lunch at noon, and invited two women to make lunch, each of whom had 15 wen a day.

The progress of building the house was very fast, and the twenty men worked while talking and laughing, first digging the foundation, and then putting the soil into the heel stones, so that the foundation was more than half completed. Ding Yiyi has been in the workshop, only to eat and sleep before going home, now there are more people ordering peanut oil, she is very busy every day, only to see the house built day by day quickly to feel that all the hard work is worth it.

Five days later, the foundation of the ground is ready, and the wall will be started, the green bricks bought by Ding Yiyi's family, the wall of the blue brick base is much stronger than the wall made of yellow mud embryos, and Ding Yiyi's family no longer has to worry about the house will collapse when it rains heavily.

In addition to farming, the big guy also helps people build houses to make money, so building a house is familiar, some people also make fun of Ding Dashan for building a house Don't make the threshold too high, otherwise it's really not good to come to his house again, Ding Dashan smiled honestly: "How can I be a mile, the villagers come and go, I like to be lively." ā€

After the wall is built, it is time to go on the purlin beam, the beam can be picked up good wood, to be strong and strong, so that the house can live for a long time, Ding Dashan bought a hundred-year-old acacia tree, such a tree cost ten taels of silver to buy, because the village has a rule that individuals can not cut down trees on the mountain, and if you want a good tree, you can only buy it with silver.

On the day of Shangliang, the children in the village were waiting at the door of Ding Yiyi's house to grab candy to eat, and seven or eight big men pulled hemp ropes to pull the beams to the roof and put them on. Ding Dashan hung the long firecrackers on the bamboo poles and lit them, Ding Yiyi carried a small basket to sprinkle sugar, and the children happily picked up the candy on the ground, and shouted that they didn't pick it up: "Sister Yiyi, sprinkle it this way, this way." Ding Yiyi heard the shout and threw a handful of candy over there, the children smiled widely, the children were easily satisfied, and after grabbing the candy, they went to enjoy the results of the battle in groups.

"Everyone has worked hard, come down and drink a bowl of water and rest!" Ding Chen lined up the bowls and shouted for everyone to drink. Ding Yiyi took out some candy from the house, and asked everyone to grab some and go home to coax the children, everyone grabbed a handful, at this time there were still not many candy to buy, and the surplus money would be saved for emergencies, so no one was polite.

The noodles made at noon, the marinade is pork cabbage and tofu, everyone said that the food of Ding Dashan's family was good, everyone ate two large bowls, and there was a large amount of rice and ate the third bowl, after eating, he also smashed his mouth and said that it was as good as eating during the festival, and he was called if he had a job in the future. After a busy day, I finally finished the purlins, and I waited for the cover tiles. Everyone went home after saying hello, Ding Yiyi also returned home from the workshop, and the family sat down for dinner together.

"Daddy, our workshop has been taking on a lot of work recently, should you consider recruiting some people?" Ding Yiyi felt that his busy feet didn't touch the ground every day, he was so tired, and he built a house at home, and his cousins couldn't be busy at all, so it was necessary to find more people.

Ding Dashan looked at his daughter lying on the table tiredly and felt distressed: "Her mother, what kind of person do you think is suitable?" Ding Chen thought about it again and again and said with a cautious face: "It must be reliable, otherwise the loss will outweigh the loss if the oil extraction method is leaked, or shall we buy some servants with a death contract?" The deed of sale is in our hands, and we are not afraid of what they will do, and then buy a maid for my daughter, and a mother-in-law for Xiaochen to take him, what do you think? ā€

"Mother, you have a good idea, just do it, if I don't want to do anything, I can let the maid do it, and you don't have to take Xiao Chen with you all day." Ding Yiyi raised his hands in approval. Ding Dashan also felt that what his daughter-in-law said made sense: "Then I'll talk to the Chinese tomorrow, let him pay attention, find that healthy and honest diligent person to buy ten, buy a clever and well-behaved maid for his daughter, and find an honest mother-in-law for Xiaochen." ā€

Ding Yiyi took the rice bowl and added a chicken leg and put it in Ding Chen's bowl: "Mother, you eat more, you can eat well in the morning, you have to eat two people's portions." "You girl is a ghost, pick up good things to coax your mother." Ding Chen's face was full of gratifying smiles, or the girl knew that it hurt people, it was really her intimate little padded jacket.

Ding Dashan had an envious and jealous expression: "Why does our family smell so vinegar?" Dad, go to the kitchen and see if the vinegar jar is overturned. Ding Yiyi said as she added a chicken leg to her father.

Ding Dashan immediately smiled on his face: "My daughter knows that her father loves to eat chicken legs, she is really filial, this chicken leg is still for you to eat, you are the time to grow your body." As he spoke, he was going to clip the chicken thighs to Ding Yiyi.

Ding Yiyi hurriedly stopped her father's chopsticks, "Dad, you eat, you are tired from work, make up more, I don't like to eat chicken legs, I love to eat chicken heads, chicken feet, and chicken wings." Ding Yiyi is telling the truth, she used to love to eat these, and chicken feet are more expensive than chicken heads.

After another two days, the tiles were placed, the house was built, all that was left was to pack up and wait for the house to dry and move to a new house, the family was very happy, I didn't expect the new house to be built so quickly, I used to think about saving for three or five years to build a house, like a dream.

During this period, Ding Dashan also contacted the Chinese people, and the Chinese people sent a letter saying that they would have time to come and see the people, and the people were all found, so they were waiting for the Ding family to buy them.

Ding Yiyi saw that happy life beckoned to her, and when she had time to go to school, she was not very good at writing ancient characters, even if she could understand ancient characters, she had to pretend to be illiterate, she couldn't say that Mr. Whitebeard taught herself everything, that was too far-fetched.

As soon as Ding Yiyi had time, his church buddies would learn to use Arabic numerals to calculate accounts, and the cousins found that the little cousin was really smart, and using these Arabic numerals to calculate accounts was much faster than them, and it was also easy to learn, and the accounts were clear and clear. Ding Yiyi knows that there are drawbacks to this kind of bookkeeping, for example, spending ten taels of silver plus one can be one hundred taels, and one horizontal family is seventy taels on top of one, so it is still necessary to let the cousins take the time to go to the school to read and write, which is better than being blind, and their own business also requires them to be literate.
