Chapter 168: Fire

"Slow down, you guys leave Brother Chen's things behind!" Mu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and seeing that Zhao Junlan was still carrying a burden, she immediately said loudly.

"You stinky girl, do you want to be beaten! There's no room for you to talk about here! Mu Xiu's repeated remarks made Zhao Junlan angry.

"Leave it for me, I won't give it to you even if I feed the dogs!" Chen Xuhui saw Zhao Junlan bullying Mu Xiu, and he was even angrier than he was bullied.

"Yes, you took away Xuhui's food, what he will eat in the future, and leave it behind!" Chen Xiangyang said with a dark face.

Hearing Chen Xiangyang's words, Zhao Junlan reluctantly took off the burden on her body and threw it directly in front of Chen Xuhui, and the two of them left in a gloomy manner.

After everyone dispersed, Chen Xuhui said to Mu Xiu gratefully, "Thank you." ”

"It's all a trivial matter, you still have to lock the door when you go out in the future, after all, villains are difficult to prevent." Mu Xiu said.

"Hmm."

"Then let's go back first, and you can come to us if you have something." Mu Shui also stepped forward and said at this time.

Chen Xuhui took the burden back to the house, and after putting the sausages and the like away, he saw that the sheets were full of oil, so he put the sheets in the wooden basin and went to the river to wash the sheets.

Just when Chen Xuhui was washing the sheets, he heard someone shouting that there was a fire, he stood up and took a look, and found that the location of the fire seemed to be in the direction of Mushui's house.

When he ran to the place, he saw that the cabin that had been his was on fire, and the fire was everywhere, but fortunately the cabin was built alone on the edge of the field, and after a while, the fire was extinguished by itself after the hut burned down.

Chen Xuhui was homeless again, and in the end, Mu Shui built a shed for Chen Xuhui next to his house so that he could have a place to sleep.

"Dad, mother, I want to renovate the house and build a few more houses." Two days later, when everyone was eating together, Mu Xiu looked at the courtyard and suddenly said.

"I also think that the yard is too big, I can build a few more rooms, and reserve a room for Brother Pan and Xiaohua." Mushui is very much in favor.

"Brother Chen has been living in the shed outside, and now that the weather is not cold, it's okay to say, when it's winter, how to live, just build two rooms outside for Brother Chen." Mu Xiu's words made Chen Xuhui startled, and then a warm current surged straight into his heart.

"Yes, it's still Mu Xiu's thoughtfulness, so it's decided."

"Then let's plan it well." Mu Xiu went into the room and took out a pen and paper and began to write.

Now there are only three rooms and a hall house, just one for Mu Shui and his wife, one for Mu Xiu, the one where Mu Xiaocao and Li Pandi lived, it was the room where the sundries were put in the house before, and it was not very big, so there was a bed and a wardrobe, and now Li Pandi writes in the hall, and the miscellaneous items at home are placed under the eaves or in the temporarily empty pigsty on weekdays, and the chicken pen and duck pen are also built with wood and grass sheds.

The family needs to build another room for all kinds of agricultural household sundries, a room for Li Pandi, a room for Mu Xiaohua, if conditions permit, build all the chicken pens and duck pens into brick houses, it would be better, Mu Xiu also wants to do a good job of toilets and bathrooms, after crossing, this is what she wants to change the most.

Chen Xuhui lives alone, just on the land outside the backyard of Mu Xiu's house, according to the wall of Mu Xiu's house, two brick houses can be built, one is a big one to live in, and the other is a small one to use as a kitchen.

"Two bedrooms need 20 square meters, a storage room of 16 square meters, a toilet and a bathroom 10 square meters each, Brother Chen's house, build one to live in, twenty-five square meters, Dad, don't you know who builds a house?" How many people do I need to invite for this? Mu Xiu asked.

"That...... I want to build a small kitchen, it doesn't need to be big, just have a stove and put a pot. Chen Xuhui said softly.

"Brother Chen, you can eat at my house." Mu Xiu thought that Chen Xuhui was embarrassed to eat at her house.

"No...... Mu Xiu, you misunderstood, I often get hungry in the middle of the night......" Chen Xuhui's face turned red after saying this, you know, he eats a lot at Mu Xiu's house on weekdays.

Mu Xiu glanced at Chen Xuhui, and secretly said that he was too careless, as the saying goes, half the size of the child, eat the poor old man, this Chen Xuhui is what to eat, what is fragrant, can eat and drink.

"Okay, build a small kitchen for Brother Chen, nine square meters is about the same."

"This adds up to eight houses, if you let people help, you need to invite two experienced masters, plus the villagers who I helped build the house before to help, it takes more than half a month to do it, the masters take care of the food, one person gives a dollar a day, although the villagers don't have to give money, but this has to take care of the food, every day to see the meat or eggs, or work without strength, the house is not strong." Mu Shui pondered for a moment and replied.

"Those two masters are 1 yuan a day each, at least 30 yuan for half a month, and everyone's food expenses should be 100 yuan for half a month." Mu Xiu calculated, the price was quite right.

"There are bricks, if this house is all built, a total of 90 square meters are needed, let's calculate according to 100 square meters, according to the standard size of bricks, we need 20,000 bricks, last time I helped in the county, two green bricks for a dime, and now the bricks need 1,000 yuan, otherwise, let's use mud bricks, mud bricks are cheap." Mu Shui calculates the price, which is a bit smacking.

"If mud bricks don't work, use green bricks." Mu Xiu directly vetoed it.

"But this money ......," Mu Shui said embarrassedly.

"Mu Xiu, I have a little money there, but it's not enough ......" Chen Xuhui also said in embarrassment, fortunately, he kept the money close to his body, and he had nothing left when the fire didn't burn last time.

"Now it's true that the money is not enough, Brother Chen's house is either slow down first, and he is still living in our house for the time being, these two days, I will go to the county seat first, sell the pickle recipe, and the money to build the house will be there, but now it is spring ploughing, and everyone will start building the house after this month, but the toilet and bathroom, we can make bricks and build it ourselves."

Mu Xiu pondered for a moment and then said: "It's just the time to dig the drainage ditch, dig out a lot of soil and put it on the edge of the field, let's go here, pull it back, and make bricks first." ”

Mu Xiu remembered that she went to the field today, the soil piled up at the edge of the field, the reason why she wanted the toilet and bathroom to be built by herself, was also because she wanted to use cement bricks, and she didn't want others to see the clues, other rooms can use green bricks, but the toilet and bathroom must be made of cement bricks, waterproof and moisture-proof, clean and strong.
