Chapter 55: Digging the Foundation

Du Yue was a little apprehensive in her heart, mothers all over the world would do it for their children. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I'm really worried that Aunt Liu will bring it up, but it's okay, until I told Uncle Liu about the matters to be paid attention to tomorrow, Aunt Liu just accompanied me and didn't say anything. I just don't know what she would have done if she knew she had rejected her son. Will she embarrass herself for her son, Du Yue is really worried.

Early the next morning, Du Yue got up, today is the day when she digs the foundation of her house, although most of her are handed over to Uncle Liu to help, but on the first day, whatever, she has to be the master of the house, so Du Yue said to the students yesterday, today is a day off, no need to go to school, originally only half a day of class every day, I don't plan to rest, but there is no way.

"Uncle Li, you're all here." Li Tongcai, who had made an appointment to start the house a few days ago, came over with a group of people, and Du Yue hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Well, this is carpenter Li Shi, these are small workers. This is Liu Zhihai, this is ....." Li Tongcai introduced one by one, if you want to build a house for the master, you have to let the master know people first.

"Okay, my house will be entrusted to your uncles." Du Yue said. One by one, he made a gesture to those people.

"You're so polite." Everyone returned the salute. I didn't expect a little girl to be not pretentious at all, and greeted them generously, which is really rare among girls. Aunt Liu was on the side, looking at Du Yue's way of dealing with people, and felt that her son had a good vision for such a person as Du Yue, but she was afraid that Du Yue was too good, and her son had no hope.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Tell us what kind of house you want to build, and then we'll start working on it. Li Tongcai is a simple person, and he doesn't want to waste time, so he said directly.

"Okay, you wait, I'll go get the drawings and tell you." Du Yue finished drawing all the drawings of the house she was going to do a few days ago, and hurriedly went into the room to get the drawings out.

"Uncle Li, this is the drawing I made, you can take a look." Du Yue handed the drawings he took out to Li Tongcai.

"People who have studied are different, they can draw drawings when they build a house, and we have built houses for others for so many years, and we have not seen anyone take the drawings out." Li Tongcai said. In the past, when he started a house for someone else's house, he said how to start it, and he never looked at the drawings of others, after all, the ones he built were ordinary farmers, and generally such people would not have any drawings. It is estimated that drawing drawings is only available to those rich and noble families, but he generally can't receive that kind of work. I had heard before that Du Yue should be a young lady from a rich and noble family, and it seems that the rumors are true.

"Well, I drew it myself, can Uncle Li understand it?" Du Yue heard Li Tongcai say that he had never seen the drawings, and he was really afraid that he would not be able to understand it, so Du Yue was ready to explain it to him at any time.

"I really can't understand it, so I'll have to trouble you to tell me about it." Li Tongcai took the drawings in his hand, and he really couldn't understand it, so he had to ask Du Yue to explain it to him.

Because it is the house he wants to live in the future, Du Yue explained it very carefully, for fear that Li Tongcai would make a mistake, this is his first house, and he may not build it again in the future, he has to build it well, and he may have to live for a lifetime, which is not sloppy. Fortunately, the drawings drawn by Du Yue are not too complicated, and as soon as Du Yue explained a little, Li Tongcai understood. Beckoning to the people he had brought, he took his shovel and prepared to dig.

"Brothers, let's get started." Li Tongcai beckoned.

"Okay." And all answered the word.

Li Tongcai took the lime powder that Du Yue asked Uncle Liu to prepare, according to what Du Yue drew on the drawings, first sprinkled the outline of the foundation with lime powder, the outline was set, and then let them dig it by themselves, and the matter was simple, Du Yue looked at Li Tongcai on the side, and the outline they set was right, so they didn't get in the way here, after all, she didn't understand anything, as long as Li Tongcai and they built the house they wanted. Li Tongcai and the others first dug the general shape of the foundation shallowly according to the place where the lime powder had just been sprinkled, and then began to dig the foundation deeper little by little.

"Uncle, you can let Uncle Li do this, you don't have to be busy with this." Seeing that Uncle Liu also came to help with a shovel, Du Yue felt that Uncle Liu was too much trouble, and now people still threw away the farm work at home to help him, Du Yue was very embarrassed, and hurriedly told Uncle Liu not to be busy with this.

"Yueniang, it's better to work with one more person." In fact, Liu Tianming still thinks that if he works alone, Du Yue will be able to pay less wages, Liu Tianming is saving her money, but he is not easy to say this, he does more, Du Yue invites fewer people, and the salary must be less.

"Uncle, it's okay to have them, and I'm not in a hurry for these few days." Du Yue didn't understand another meaning of Uncle Liu, she just didn't want to trouble Uncle Liu so much, so she told Uncle Liu not to be busy.

"Brother Liu, don't come to rob us of our work." Li Tongcai said in a joking tone. Although Li Tongcai said it as if he was joking, Liu Tianming still felt that it was inappropriate when he heard Li Tongcai say this, after all, if he did this, he would be suspected of robbing other people's jobs, so he smiled, didn't say anything, and picked up a shovel and stood up.

Seeing that Uncle Liu finally didn't continue to dig, Du Yue was also relieved, there were too many things owed to Uncle Liu, Du Yue didn't know how to repay, although Uncle Liu's family never asked her to return, but Du Yue couldn't accept the kindness of Uncle Liu's family with peace of mind, after all, no matter what, Du Yue was only temporarily living in their house.

Seeing Liu Tianming standing up, Li Tongcai didn't say anything, and continued to dig the foundation, the foundation of the house he used to make for others was not too deep, after all, it was only built of mud bricks, but what Du Yue wanted to build was all stone bricks, according to Du Yue's requirements, such a foundation could not be dug too shallow, at least half a meter deep, only when the foundation was laid, the house built behind was stable.

At this time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, the summer sun, this point was already very sunburned, Du Yue saw that Li Tongcai was digging almost what he thought, so he left first. In such a hot weather, people work directly under the sun, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke, Du Yue is going to go back to Li Tongcai and them to cook some mung bean soup to relieve the heat. It's just mung bean soup used to relieve the heat, Du Yue doesn't have to cook all the mung beans, so it is cooked quickly, seeing that Du Yue is about to move the pot of mung bean soup to the construction site, Yuan Qing hurriedly came over to help, and after a night, he is no longer as embarrassed to face Du Yue as he was yesterday. Although he gave Du Yue a hairpin, Du Yue didn't say anything, but he still wanted to help Du Yue more.
