Chapter Seventy-Nine: The House Is Built
When he went out, Old Man Tang smiled at the corner of his mouth, he was very happy to be able to help the boss build a house, and said to Carpenter Shen: "On the eighth day of the second lunar month, you can just take your people there,"
"Okay, then we'll make up our minds, I won't leave you two if you have something urgent, and you'll have a meal here next time," Carpenter Shen was very interested in the house that Tang Tiezhu's family was going to build,
On the way back, Old Man Tang asked Tang Tiezhu if the person who dug the foundation was good, Tang Tiezhu thought for a while and said: "I discussed it with the second brother to dig the foundation, and I didn't spend money to hire people, anyway, the wood on the mountain is almost enough for more than ten days, and after the wood is cut, my second brother and I will start digging the foundation, if there are not enough people, my eldest brother and second uncle can come over to help, and the second brother's uncles will also come over." ”
Hearing the boss say this, Old Man Tang was unhappy, his face turned black and said: "You don't have no brothers, why do you ask the eldest brother to come over to help, isn't this a slap in the face for the third and fourth children?" ”
"I have this plan, and I haven't told my uncle and them yet, if they don't have time to come over, I'm thinking of other ways," Tang Tiezhu looked at his father's face and said.
After arriving home, Tang Qing'er looked at his father's happy expression, guessed that the matter would be done on time, and saw that his mother and her father had something to say, so she consciously took Jiao'er to her house to play.
Li asked about today's matter, and after understanding the matter, he frowned and said to the owner: "The wood is not finished yet, even if the wood is finished, Uncle Bigfoot's house still has to find someone to pick it up, and then start digging the foundation, the most important thing is that the stones for laying the foundation have to go to the river to pick, and the glutinous rice, clay and sand used to build the wall are also to be done, how can you and the second brother have time to get these, if you find someone to spend money to get it, you are not willing to do it." ”
Tang Tiezhu smiled and said, "You are on fire for these things,"
Li Shi was surprised to see that the master was not on fire, and he smiled hehe, and heard the master say: "Guess what my father said to me on the way back,"
Li shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what to do.
"Dad said, now the third and fourth children are idle at home and have nothing to do, let the two of them help us with logging from tomorrow, as well as digging foundations,"
"What! Dad actually said that," Li screamed in surprise, thought for a moment and said, "Although Dad said so, we can't really go to the third and fourth brothers for help, otherwise our mother won't be able to eat us,"
"That's what I said, but Dad said that he talked to the third and fourth children about it, and we don't have to worry about it," Tang Tiezhu didn't expect the third and fourth children to come over to help, and he wouldn't be surprised if he didn't come tomorrow.
What the Tang Tiezhu brothers didn't expect was that the next morning, the third and fourth were all holding axes, and said with a bad face: "Our father asked us to help you and the second brother go up the mountain to cut wood,"
Zhang said loudly to Old Man Tang in the main room: "The old man builds a house, what is the matter with the third and fourth children, why should they go to help, they didn't expect the third and fourth children when they were beneficial, they couldn't be busy, you let them go and help them, you are not obviously biased towards the previous child,"
"Brothers are supposed to help each other, you don't need to worry about this," Old Man Tang didn't care about the noise made by the old woman's anger.
"Okay, it's not impossible for the third and fourth to go to work, you have to give them twenty dollars a day, if you don't give it, I'll let the third and fourth come back, what do you say?" Zhang didn't care about Old Man Tang's wishful thinking.
"If you really say that, you are ready to take over the book, I can't live with you," After Old Man Tang finished saying this, he saw that Zhang's face turned purple, beat his chest with his hand, and gasped and said, "You...... You....... ”
Old man Tang snorted and walked out, and when he saw that there were still four sons standing in the courtyard, he shouted: "What are you still standing for, go up the mountain to cut down trees for me, if you don't, you will let me go out of this courtyard and find a place to live by myself,"
The third and fourth didn't dare to squeak, and Tang Tiezhu, who was standing on the side, didn't say anything, after all, this war was fought by his family
caused, took them directly to the mountain.
It is said that there are many people, and with the help of the third and fourth brothers, the wood needed by Tang Tiezhu and Tang Tiexiong brothers to build the house was cut in six days, and they helped them to pick up the house of Uncle Bigfoot's house, and finally began to dig the foundation after doing these things for a month, and finally prepared all the things that should be prepared on the eighth day of Tang Tiezhu's second month.
During this period, there were a lot of troubles, for example, Ma watched his man get up early to help his eldest brother's family work, and he was tired and went to bed early every day, very distressed, and he didn't dare to let the head of the house go, so he could only go to Li's every day to mumble.
At first, Li saw Ma coming over with his waist, and he would find an excuse to go out to work, not wanting to listen to her repeating those few words every day, but he didn't expect Ma's stickiness, no matter what Li did, he had to follow with a big belly, Li had no choice but to listen to her, and he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Brother and sister, it's useless for you to say this to me, your eldest brother told our father everything, but you don't know our father's temper, and you are still angry at your eldest brother after the end, and we can't help it,"
Ma was choked for a moment, thinking that her mother-in-law said that day that she would be paid for a day's work, so she thought about it and said: "Sister-in-law, you see that I am pregnant with a child, and it is not easy to have a good stomach, otherwise how about you give me ten cents a day to be in charge?" We don't want much, after all, it's not easy for you,"
"Brother and sister, what you said is not a good way, it just so happens that your family wants to buy my house and still owes me two taels of silver, so can the third brother use this to pay for his work?"
Ma's face turned from red to black, and then from black to purple, and he didn't say anything after opening his mouth for a long time.
On the eighteenth day of February, Carpenter Shen brought his men over to see Tang Tiezhu lay the foundation, and they could directly make the house frame and build the stone wall.
Tang Qing'er will go to see them build a house every day, if anyone is thirsty, she will hand him water to drink, running around day by day, so that Li found that she is tall, which can make Tang Qing'er happy, in his previous life, he was short, he was always said to be a short winter melon, and secretly measured his height, nine years old, more than one meter two, and when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, wouldn't it be able to reach one meter six, thinking of this to see her father and her mother's height, I couldn't help but sigh: "The height of the baby is related to the genetics of the parents, and the acquired exercise is also crucial." ”
When Tang Qing'er was pouring water for her father, she heard her mother say to her father: "Carpenter Shen's house is almost finished, shouldn't we go buy tiles?"
"I've been thinking about this for the past two days, I think I'll talk to Carpenter Shen about it today, he knows the tile seller, let him take us there,"
"Okay, then I'll give you the money, and I'll buy the tile back with the money directly this time,"
Tang Qing'er couldn't miss this opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Daddy, I'm going too, you take me there, I'm bored at home,"
Li Shi said with a calm face: "You forgot what happened to Master Zhou's house last time, it's good for me to let you go out and around now, you still want to go to other villages with your father, I really want to see if I don't break your legs,"
Tang Qing'er looked at her father pitifully, and her father shook his head and agreed with her mother's words.
Tang Qing'er hiccuped angrily, and said intermittently: "Mother...... You...... Really bad...... Bad,"
At noon, Tang Tiezhu and Shen Carpenter talked about buying tiles, and Shen Carpenter was happy to help, so Tang Tiezhu went to Tang Da Niu's house to borrow an ox cart to take Shen Carpenter to buy tiles, of course, there was no Tang Qing'er on the ox cart, she was forced to embroider tweed by her mother at home, Li Shi spoke, if she still embroidered chrysanthemums into a ball of weeds, she would never be able to leave this yard tomorrow.
Carpenter Shen took Tang Tiezhu to the house that sold the wand, and when he saw the shopkeeper, he smiled and said, "Old money, it's time to do business,"
As soon as Qian Ming greeted a guest away, he saw Lao Shen come in with a person, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind blew you here,"
"Of course it's the spring breeze, I'll bring you business here, this is the owner of my current work, Tang Tiezhu, he wants to buy tiles, you introduce some sturdy and easy to use, the price must be affordable," Shen Carpenter didn't bring Qian Ming to speak, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and dried it in one gulp.
Qian Ming couldn't cry and laugh and said, "You, it's still the same," and greeted Tang Tiezhu again: "Hello Master Tang,"
"Brother Qian, don't call me that, it's really tormenting me, what kind of master am I, I'm just a farmer, there are too many babies in the family, and the house is a little small, so I started to build a house, you can call me Brother Tang with Brother Shen," Tang Tiezhu felt uncomfortable as soon as he was called master.
"Ha Luha, then I'm not welcome, Brother Tang drinks tea, you take a break first, and then tell me what price you want, I'll give you a specific introduction," Qian Ming smiled and poured a cup of tea for Tang Tiezhu.
"Even if it's a house you live in, the tiles are not too expensive, you can use it,"
"According to your requirements, then I won't introduce to you the kind of expensive and impractical, I have a kind of tile suitable for living at home, and it is not a problem to use it for ten or eight years, this kind of tile is one penny and five pieces, since it is introduced by Lao Shen, I will give you a cheaper price, and charge you one penny and three pieces, do you see it?"
Tang Tiezhu was overjoyed after hearing this, and said happily: "Then thank you Brother Qian, I need two thousand tiles, just send them to Tangjia Village in early April, this is a deposit." As he spoke, he handed Qian Ming a tael of silver as a deposit.
Businessmen prefer cheerful people, Qian Ming saw that Tang Tiezhu was so refreshing, took the money and said: "Brother Tang, don't worry, I will definitely check your tile, and there will be no damage when I pull it over for you,"
Shen Carpenter They are used to building houses, although Tang Tiezhu's house is very novel, but as long as they figure out the rough, it is easy to finish, and after more than a month, the house will be built according to Tang Tiezhu's ideas.
