Chapter 182: Building a House
"Having said that, if I clean up my innocence early, plough it a few more times, take care of the land or take care of it in the coming year, and if I don't clean it up, I just don't feel right in my heart." Mu Shui replied.
"You're obsessive-compulsive!" Mu Xiu said secretly in his heart, but in his mouth, "Okay, Dad, we'll be back after dinner in a while." ”
"Let's go!" Mu Shui waved his hand and continued to clear the rocks.
By the time Mu Xiu and Mu Xiaocao had lunch and brought back the food and water, Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui were still working in full swing.
"Dad, Brother Chen, come and wash your hands and eat." Mu Xiu shouted at the edge of the field.
When Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui heard this, they both put down what they were doing and walked over here.
Mu Xiu first lifted the water and washed it with both hands, then Mu Xiu opened the basket and brought out the food inside
Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui were already hungry, so they gobbled up the food they brought over, drank a full jar of water, and then continued to work in the fields with satisfaction.
Mu Xiu and Mu Xiaocao also began to pull weeds and pick up stones, and when they were working, time really passed very quickly, and when the surrounding environment gradually began to darken, Mu Xiu realized that the whole day had passed.
After a busy day of farming, everyone was tired enough and tired.
"If you want me to say, if only we bought a cow, it would save a lot of trouble." Mu Xiu saw that Mu Shui had been carrying the plough for most of the day, and she felt tired and panicked.
"Cattle are the foundation of work, with cattle, it will be much more convenient to plow the land in the spring, and you don't have to be so tired, even if you can't set a car when you are not busy with farming, it is also convenient to go out or something." The more Mu Xiu said, the more she felt that buying a cow was a wise decision, but no matter how good the cow was, there was no tractor to use, and Mu Xiu was more depressed now, but now she had a tractor in her space, but she couldn't use it right now, which was really embarrassing.
"A cow is not cheap, there are only 6 cows in our village, and now they are all used in the public ownership of those fields, and we can't divide the fields into households." Mu Shui stood up and thumped his waist.
"In the past two days, I heard from the villagers that Uncle Dahua's family bought a cow." Mu Xiu asked curiously.
"Yes, but his cow was not bought, the in-law that his daughter found is now in the cattle and sheep business, and when she got married, she gave a cow as a dowry." Mu Xiaocao explained on the side that she had just heard Zhou Shuilian say it last night.
"This cow is not cheap, it costs 500 yuan." Mu Shui smacked his tongue.
"Hey, it's getting dark, let's go home first." After Mu Xiu calculated the account in her heart, she stopped talking, she was a little depressed, and she was still too short of money in the end.
"Xiu, don't worry, Uncle Mu Shui and I will resist this place." Chen Xuhui felt the change in Mu Xiu's mood, and stood beside her and whispered.
"Well, when the spring wheat is sold, I'll make it up." Although Mu Xiu has money in his hands, this is used to build a house, so it seems that he can only work hard for this period of time, but in the autumn, he has to buy a cow no matter what.
When the group returned home, Zhou Shuilian had already made dinner, and when she saw everyone coming back, she hurriedly brought the food to the hall, and after everyone had eaten, they all washed and slept.
Other people's farming is about to end, Mu Xiu's family has just begun, two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and finally three acres of land have been cleaned up, watered with chemical fertilizer and fertilizer first, early in the morning of this day, Mu Xiu shouted Mu Shui.
"Dad, I won't go to the ground today, the foundation here has been opened, let's build the house first, and then continue to dry it for a few days!"
"Okay, let's build these two huts in the next two days." Mu Shui put down his tools and walked to the foundation to the west of the kitchen.
"Xiu, this limestone soil is really easy to use, look at this foundation, it's really solid!" Mu Shui has only been focusing on clearing the wasteland these days, and he has no time to look at the foundation, so he took a closer look at it and couldn't help but admire.
"Xiu, can you buy some more?" Zhou Shuilian stood aside and asked.
"That's all there is left, I pulled it all back, and then the house was built, and I applied it again, and it was very strong." Although the cement in the Muxiu space is enough, but now cement is a rare thing, and it is difficult to explain when people who come to help ask, after all, it will be used in a large area in a few years.
"This is a rare thing, and it's not easy for Xiu to get this." Mu Xiaocao knows the market.
"Alright, let's start building the house!" Mu Shui shouted.
Everyone divided their labors, Mu Xiaocao went to carry water, Mu Xiu stirred cement and transported bricks here, Chen Xuhui moved bricks first, and then built a house with Mu Shui.
The bathing room and toilet are small in size, and they are built quickly, and Mu Shui has been helping families to build houses since he was a teenager.
In the past, when he was in Mu's house, the room where he and Zhou Shuilian got married was also built by him day and night, but later it was given to Mu Gen to get married, and Mu Shui and his family gave up the house......
The first thing to build is the bathroom room, Mu Xiu is fed up here, everyone only takes a bath at least once a month, although she scrubs every day, but after all, it is not as comfortable as rinsing with water.
The bathroom room and the kitchen share a wall, when Mu Xiu let the foundation dig a little deeper, the bathroom room is about 40 centimeters shorter than the kitchen, in the kitchen wall, a hole was punched, the size of thick bamboo, just enough to stuff a piece of bamboo. There are three remaining walls, and on the northernmost wall, there is a window at the top that can be opened for ventilation.
After a few people were busy for almost a day, the bathroom room was finally built, and Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui coated the walls on all four sides, including the ground, with a layer of cement, and the ground was painted several times at the request of Mu Xiu.
"You can use it in a few days, but, Xiu, why do you have to make a hole in the kitchen wall?" Mu Shui only remembered to ask at this time.
"It is convenient to boil hot water in the kitchen, put a wooden bucket above the hole in the kitchen, connect it with a bamboo joint, and then fix a wooden bucket below the hole in the bathroom, and make a switch gate on it, so that you only need to boil hot water in the kitchen, mix it into warm water, pour it directly into the bucket, and the water can flow into the bucket in the bathroom, open the gate, and the water will flow down, so that you don't need to boil the water in a large bathtub, so that it is not only convenient to take a bath, but also will not waste hot water." Mu Xiu explained that this is equivalent to a simple shower.
"That's a good idea! No wonder the bathroom is lower than the kitchen, it turns out to be convenient for pouring water! Zhou Shuilian is also a person who loves cleanliness, but due to the conditions, sometimes she can only scrub it simply, and now that this bathroom has been built, she is also very much looking forward to it.
