The good words in Mr. Qi's mouth were endless, and Xu Zhang's heart was to accept all the orders, and in the end, Mr. Qi's remuneration was increased from 300 to 500 at the beginning, and both parties were happy.

Xu Jiaojiao complained secretly. But the custom here is like this, and Xu Zhang's is happy, so he didn't say anything. Consider it a good thing, or wouldn't it ruin everyone's interest?

……

The site selection is stopped, and the next step is to hire someone to start construction.

The whole family of the old Xu family sat together to discuss.

This time, the house that Lao Xu's family wants to build is relatively large, and it needs more manpower.

Xu Youde and other adults wrenched their fingers and counted the craftsmen nearby, which bricklayers, carpenters, stonemasons, who were skilled and who couldn't.

After talking for a while, Luo Qi Ai said: "Why don't you let my two brothers come and help?" ”

"Your brother?" Xu Zhangshi rolled his eyes, and turned his head lazily, "Just your two lazy brothers, you are embarrassed to say it!" ”

As soon as he left the school, he was hit on the head, and Roche was dumbfounded and looked at his man.

Xu Laosi hurriedly said: "Mother, that's the case. This is a bad person anyway, just let them come and see, if they don't do well, they will only give half of the salary, or if it really doesn't work, then let them get out, and they are afraid of offending them? Of course, we have another meaning, if these two brothers can, I can hire them to help me make loquat paste next year, so they are relatives, and it is more comfortable to use than outsiders. ”

Xu Zhangshi paused, she understood what she said, it was to use the matter of building a house to see if the two Luo brothers were the material for work.

Xu Youde spoke: "That's okay, old woman, and give people a chance." "It's a matter of your own son, and it's not unavoidable.

"That's fine." Xu Zhangshi was relieved, "After coming, make it clear, if they are lazy and slippery, they will be driven away directly." ”

Xu Laosi also breathed a sigh of relief and promised: "No problem, Daddy, they are here, I will give them a good explanation, and I can't make a mistake." ”

Xu Jiaojiao spoke, "It's okay to work slowly, but if the quality is not good, I won't agree." "She doesn't want to take the money out, but she cuts corners and makes shoddy things, which is absolutely not good, even if it is a relative.

"Of course, rest assured, old girl." Xu Laosi hurriedly said, "This is the house where we live by ourselves, I stare at it every day, and I must not do that." ”

For Xu Zhang's family, Xu Laosi may not have paid much attention to it, but he didn't dare to be sloppy about Xu Jiaojiao's words.

annoyed the old lady, and was beaten up in the sky. What if you anger Xu Jiaojiao? I'm afraid that my happy life will always be a dream, and there is no hope in this life.

Xu Jiaojiao nodded, of course she couldn't rest assured of Xu Laosi's assurance, and she would have to check it then.

When the deliberation was almost over, the people dispersed, and went to each other separately to ask for help.

……

Two days later, the dojo in front of Lao Xu's house was lively again. There were more than 20 workers invited, and there were two or three times as many people who watched the excitement, and the noise was like a happy event.

Building a house is a big deal no matter where it is, and it's rare to see it. Because in the countryside, it is generally inherited from the ancestral house and repaired for another year, there is no need to build a new house, or few people can afford to build a new house. And in the city, there are city walls, the site has long been circled, you want to build a new house, then you can't find a place, so you generally buy a second-hand house.

The commander of this house construction is Xu Jiaojiao, who pays the most. But Xu Jiaojiao didn't understand it very well, so the actual commander became Liao Qing.

Liao Qing was not ambiguous, and roughly discussed with a few skilled craftsmen, and assigned someone in a few words. Of course, the main task at present is very simple, that is, digging the foundation, and at the same time sending people to dig sand, lime and other materials to pull back.

These are all hard work, due to the heavy workload, it took half a day of hard work to get to the end.

"Is this the job of the four of you?"

At noon, as soon as Xu Jiaojiao came here, she heard Xu Laosi's voice.

"Uh, yes, we did it." Opposite Xu Laosi, there were two men and two women, and replied.

Xu Jiaojiao already knew before that these were Luo's two brothers. Originally, it was said that the two brothers came over, but today the official start of work, these two people brought their mother-in-law.

They all came, and Xu Zhang's family didn't drive anyone away, and ordered them to work together.

"Look." Xu Laosi's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and he kicked a pile of sand and gravel under his feet, "People in teams of two have dug up a pile of bosses." And what about you? Have half of them? And there are such big pebbles in it, can this kind of work? ”

"Well, we don't have any skills...... Boss Luo said with a shy smile.

"But there are four of you!" Xu Laosi had a straight face, "My ugly words can be said in front, the salary is calculated according to the amount of work done, and if you do this, the salary is less than half of that of others." ”

The four of them were not dissatisfied, and nodded again and again, "I know, I know, haven't we explained it before, we all know it." ”

These people are also self-aware, Xu Laosi didn't have much to say for a while, and kicked those pebbles again, "This kind of big piece can't be used, you have to pick it out." ”

"Okay, let's pick it out right away, we can't miss it......"

"Fourth brother, it's time to eat!" Xu Jiaojiao shouted to this side.

The Luo family brothers immediately said happily: "It's time to eat!" Get ...... after eating" Before the words were finished, the four of them rushed over.

Xu Laosi had a dark face and followed behind him......

Hire someone to work, and generally take care of the food, which is customary.

Because the rural work is in a hurry, especially to build a house, if it rains, it will be troublesome, so there is very little rest time, basically from dawn to dark, plus the traffic is not convenient, it is impossible for workers to go home to rest and come again, so the owner will take care of the meal, three meals a day, sit for a while after eating, and have to work again.

Lao Xu's family specially invited Master Jichang, who is the best cook in the neighborhood, headed by him, and a few cooks to serve everyone's three meals a day.

The dining table was placed on the dojo in front of the old house, with a total of five tables, and Lao Xu's family also ate together. The children actually prefer this way, with a smile on their faces.

The meals are also relatively decent, Wowotou, brown rice, vegetable porridge are enough, the current vegetables are basically available, and there are four large bowls of meat dishes, and each table is full to ensure that everyone can eat well and have the strength to work.
