Chapter Seventy-Eight: Home

"Okay, that's it, but I and your father really don't have much money on us, and after the house is built, you will need to buy the things inside!" Li and Lao Luotou estimated it, and felt that the money was only enough to build a house, so each family would pay for the things inside.

"Then grandpa, what kind of house are we building, do we still want our family's earthen house, or is it like the village chief's tiled house?" As soon as Tian Xiaoman spoke, almost everyone's eyes shifted to the past, this was the first child to participate in the discussion except for Xia Zhi.

Tian Xiaoman's scalp was numb when everyone saw it, but she didn't dodge, but stopped her small breasts, and the sixth sister looked like she was upright every time she spoke, and she was definitely not wrong with her appearance.

Every time Tian Xiaoman saw the village chief's big brick house, he was envious. So every time she didn't make much noise, she endured the timidity in her heart, learned from the summer solstice, and said her psychological questions.

Liu sat beside Tian Xiaoman, and when he saw her straightening her small chest and opening her big eyes, waiting for Li's answer, he gently rubbed her head. Tian Laosan's question was also very surprised, usually the Tian family only dared to speak like this on the summer solstice, but I didn't expect Xiaoman to be like this, although Tian Xiaoman also had timidity in his eyes, but it was already a bad start, at least Tian Xiaoman dared to say.

In fact, every time there is something at home, the Li family calls the whole family, including the children of the Tian family, and does not expect anything from them, but just hopes that they will know about the affairs of the family and get involved, on the other hand, it is to let the children listen and watch more, see how the adults have accidents, and let them learn more. In the future, if something happens, it won't be too jerky and too out of line. Of course, the outlier of the next summer solstice made the Li family see their own results. Today's Tian Xiaoman has made Li more sure of his own approach.

"Our family builds a blue brick house, do you like it?" In order not to discourage Tian Xiaoman's courage. He deliberately spoke softly.

"I like it, Xiaoman likes the blue brick house, Xiaoman is very happy every time he sees the village chief's house!" Compared with the pseudo-Lori of the summer solstice, Tian Xiaoman's real Lori will be more cute at that time.

"Good! Since, Xiaoman likes it, then our family will build a green brick house, the eldest and the second will all find bricklayers tomorrow, and the third and fourth will go to Xujiaji tomorrow to ask about the tiles and green bricks there. If the master bricklayer doesn't pack tiles, we have to have our own home. ”

Li finished instructing. After the four brothers of the Tian family agreed to come down, the family went to wash and rest.

The next day, the four brothers of the Tian family got Li's words, looking for craftsmen, looking for craftsmen, and inquiring about the situation. In the afternoon, Tian Boss invited a bricklayer from Xu Jiaji, and asked him to see the surrounding environment of the Tian family, as well as the requirements of the Tian family, and the leading bricklayer said that there was no problem, but because the Tian family asked for five small courtyards, and each small courtyard should have at least five houses, and the summer solstice also proposed to dig a cellar. I'm afraid that's a bit long.

As soon as the Houtian family totaled, they felt that they took out the material cost of 50 taels of silver and the labor cost of 15 taels of silver, and gave this group to the bricklayer master. As long as the master bricklayer completes the work within three months according to the will of the Tian family, the Tian family will not care about anything else. The Tian family pays half of the deposit in cash, and when it is completed, they will pay the other half of the money. At first, the master bricklayer was a little hesitant. The main reason is that half of the salary is not enough, and this poor money naturally requires him to pay first. It was not easy to take out so much money at once, and the master bricklayer gritted his teeth. I agreed.

The summer solstice totaled the green bricks, tiles, and timber, and the twenty-five rooms of the Tian family, plus the gate and the wall, as well as some chicken sheds, duck sheds, cowsheds, etc., fifty taels are more than enough, and the green bricks and tiles are slightly more expensive, as for the wood, there are many on the mountain, and it is not a golden silk nanmu, which is not worth much, mainly to save trouble. Fifteen taels of labor costs are enough to invite a lot of people, you must know that the labor force of this era is only a few pennies a day, and the sooner it is completed, the more these people earn, when the contractor heard the Tian family say this, but he smiled and squinted, and looked at the Tian family like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Of course, what the summer solstice wants is to hope that it will be completed as soon as possible, although there is more money, but the Tian family has saved a lot of things, saving time and effort, why not. After all, if it is required to be completed early, then the number of people who come to help must be quite a lot, and it is difficult to do just to eat, so it is better to contract everything to others, and the Tian family just watches from the side.

The day after the Tian family and the bricklayer master made an agreement, the bricklayer master brought thirty-five people, and the bricks ordered by the bricklayer master were also pulled over one by one, and the tiles and wood were also sent one after another in the back.

The Tian family built a house this time mainly on a piece of land downstream of the Tian family, just on the left side of the pond of Xia Zhi's house, a few steps away, Xia Zhi felt that it was still far away from Tian Xiaohua's house, and I didn't see that Tian Xiaohua was about to stretch his neck from time to time to look sneakily at the Tian family, and Xia Zhi always felt that there was nothing good. Therefore, when the bricklayer chose the address, Xia Zhi suggested that the family go south to choose.

Although it was completely contracted to the foreman, the Tian family was always worried about building a house by themselves, so Lao Luotou and his four sons always went to watch it when they were working. Li took a few daughters-in-law to boil water all day long, although it was said that it was wrapped to others, but this dry food was easy to bring, and this ancient water was inconvenient to carry.

However, such a big movement of the Tian family once again caused a sensation in Tianjia Village, dozens of craftsmen started work together, and five small courtyards rose from the ground, not only the people of Tianjia Village were shocked, but even the Tian family itself was surprised, this can be regarded as a huge project, of course, only relative to Tianjia Village.

Originally, the Tian family was famous in this neighboring township because of the double cropping rice, and this time the action of building a house came out, the people of Tianjia Village were privately talking about whether the Tian family was really rich, look at the house, they are all blue bricks and green tiles, and so many people were invited, how much does it cost.

Some people even inquired about the daily wages of the craftsmen and wanted to come to work for the Tian family, which was really hard for the Tian family to cry and laugh. But fortunately, everyone is not crazy last time, and they know that Lu Dao is the person invited by the contractor, or they will not be pestering the people of the Tian family.

Thirty-five people worked overtime to come early and return late, plus the Tian family's help from time to time, Xia Zhi watched them from ramming the foundation, building little by little, and then to the later beams, the most rearly upper tiles, according to the doors and windows, it only took two and a half months, the five small courtyards of the Tian family were completed, Xia Zhi felt that this was really a magical thing, and the potential of people was really endless, of course, Xia Zhi's family did not build a luxurious mansion, just an ordinary blue brick house, and there were no flowers and plants in the yard. Instead, chicken coops, duck coops and goose coops, pigsty and cowsheds were built.

Although the number is large, it is also simple, which is why they can complete it so quickly, but Xia Zhi thinks that it is simple, the people of Tianjia Village do not think so, in the eyes of the people of Tianjia Village, the high wall looks quite magnificent, that is, the village chief's house is not as good as the Tian family's now.

The house was built, and there was a cellar to be dug, and the thirty-five men dug the cellar in only two or three days, and there was nothing to do with them after that. Looking at the completed courtyard, the Tian family happily handed over the other half of the salary to the contractor. After taking the money, the workers naturally left one after another. Leaving the Tian family to walk around in the five small courtyards, look here and there, the whole family is stupid. Xia Zhi touched the thick blue brick wall, sighed in his heart that he finally had a new house, this will be their new home in the future, thinking of the word home, Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a lot, and she realized the meaning of home when she came to Tian's house.

In the past few days, the Tian family has been floating away, and when they think of the big tiled house built by their family, they are overjoyed. The house was built, and before the autumn harvest was held, the family hurriedly went to the carpenter to order a cabinet and a bed, as well as a table and chairs. Each small courtyard of the Tian family is almost a pattern, one master bedroom, four second bedrooms, this master bedroom is naturally for the Tian family husband and wife, the second bedroom is naturally for the children to live, and the Tian family's baby can almost have a room per person. There are many things that are naturally needed in this house, and there are no ready-made things in the carpenter's place, so they can only do the same, so the carpenter can't be busy at all, so he can only buy the house where people live first, and the others are not in a hurry.

After setting the things, the Tian family sat and waited for the carpenter to send the things home, this time the Tian family set a lot of things, the happy carpenter said to send it to the Tian family, the Tian family was naturally happy to accept, originally they were still thinking, how to pull the things home after the things were done, but they didn't expect to be sleepy and send pillows, this can't be done. The Tian family has a warm affection in their hearts, and they can't wait to move to a new house now, but there is no way to live in an empty house without furniture, so they can only wait for the carpenter to send the things.

More than half a month passed, and the carpenter slowly sent over all the things set by the Tian family. The new houses of the Tian family have also been filled one after another, in the face of the empty house at the beginning, the house is now like a home, everything is no problem naturally to move, but the move is to invite the neighbors to eat the moving banquet, but now the autumn harvest is about to come, no one is free at all, after saying that the Li family also wants to take the two families of Tian Chrysanthemum and Tian Meihua back, the time is not allowed at all, the most helpless has no choice but to wait for the autumn harvest to move, at that time everyone is idle, just have time, Taking advantage of this time, the Tian family can also move things east and west to the new house little by little.
