"Don't think about it so much." Chen Mofan said.

"Forget it, I don't want to, we're going to find someone who builds a house now, but what kind of shop are you looking for to make a house?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked Sheng Rong.

"There will be a special person who will be responsible for building the Earth Dragon." Sheng Rong said, "I remember that there was one we just passed by. ”

"It's a lot more expensive to ask a master to build a house here, right?" Chen Mofan asked out loud.

"In addition to the money for building a house, the expensive ones are the round-trip travel expenses, the cost of moving materials, and the labor costs, after all, it is to find a professional here, so it is naturally more expensive than looking for a mason and carpenter on the other side of the village."

Chen Mofan nodded as he listened, and had a number in his heart.

The three of them came to the building materials store and discussed with the boss together, and learned that the construction of the house alone costs seventy or eighty taels, the labor cost and travel expenses for moving back and forth, and the manpower needed to build the house in the next few days, eating or something, if all of them are used, it will add up to one hundred and fifty taels, and if the house is bigger, it will cost more.

"Then let's talk about it first." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled at the boss, and she pulled Sheng Rong and Chen Mofan to stand aside and say what she thought.

"I just thought about it, the boss said that a worker to build a house, if you don't include food or accommodation, the round-trip travel expenses add up, a person will spend 30 a day, at least four to five workers a day, and it will take at least a month to build a house, not counting the time to rest and delay if the weather is bad, and then the money on the way back and forth is all for us, and it is also time-consuming on the way back and forth, so it is too expensive."

"It's expensive." Chen Mofan nodded, "Although this is in the city, but in the village, if you don't have room and board, it will cost fifteen yuan a day to build a house, and ten yuan a day to include room and board, which is twice as expensive here." ”

"Is there anything you can do?" Sheng Rong pondered, he didn't know much about the object, he just heard the boss say that it was not particularly expensive, but after hearing Chen Mofan and Jiang Yuanyuan say this, he also felt that it was a bit expensive.

Chen Mofan thought for a while and said, "There is a way, but I don't know if it can be done like this." We can ask the people in the village to build some sheds at the place where we build the house, and then ask a fixed number of women to come and cook every day, and make a few beds in the shed next to it, so that we can also be regarded as having room and board. ”

"Hmm...... I think about it, if you build these sheds in the village, five people can do it in three to four days, right? In this way, it can be done with three or four hundred yuan, and the construction of a shed with wood can be cut up the mountain without costing money, and if you invite a woman to cook, you need to invite two people, eight yuan a day, and sixteen yuan a day. Jiang Yuanyuan counted with her fingers.

"It's worth it." Sheng Rong nodded, "If you include room and board, these workers can save twelve yuan a day, and they can save sixty or seventy yuan a day, and they can save a few taels of silver in a month." ”

"That's right! Then we can find people in the village and ox carts to carry the materials ourselves, so we can save a lot of money. Jiang Yuanyuan said excitedly.

"I think that's okay." Chen Mofan nodded, "A few of us can help, so it basically doesn't cost anything, and the big deal is that the transportation is slower." ”

"That's a lot cheaper than our budget!" Sheng Rong was a little happy, at this time, it was a penny to be saved, it was not easy to make money, and they didn't want to spend more money on these aspects.

"Okay, let's talk to the boss first." Jiang Yuanyuan said.

The three of them negotiated the price with the boss, signed an agreement, paid a deposit of fifty taels, and agreed that someone would determine the location and the size of the house in two days.

After such a toss, the time was not early, several people wanted to go back quickly, so they bought some dry food to take to eat on the road, and it was a long journey to go back, Sheng Rong fell asleep after a while, but he didn't sleep well, and there was no way to sleep well on this bumpy road.

When he got home, Jiang Xuan came out to help park the ox cart, Sheng Rong and Chen Mofan went home, Jiang Yuanyuan was ready to rest after washing, but Jiang Xuan sneaked over and knocked on the door.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuanyuan got out of bed and opened the door.

"Dad asked me when he came back at noon today, what are you doing today." Jiang Xuan whispered, "I'll tell my father about you and Sheng Rong." ”

"Did Daddy say anything?" Jiang Yuanyuan was a little nervous, and she had a little bit of anticipation.

"No, Dad just told me to watch you, don't be deceived." Jiang Xuan shook his head, "I heard my father tell my mother about this at night, my mother's reaction was quite big, she made a fuss in the house for a long time, and I guess I will ask you tomorrow morning, you should answer carefully." ”

"Uh-huh! Thank you, brother. Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, and was very surprised that Jiang's father's reaction was not done, as if it should be so.

"It's okay, you go to bed early." After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he went back secretly, Jiang Yuanyuan closed the door and lay on the bed a little distracted.

It was expected that Niang would have such a big reaction, and Niang has always been like this and does not like any change in her life.

But Dad's reaction made her a little surprised and at the same time felt that it should be like this, Father Jiang has always been very casual, as long as it is not a big deal, he will generally obey the opinions of others, fully showing the freedom you want, at least in Jiang Yuanyuan's memory, Father Jiang is opposed and resisted basically can't be found.

There was no dream all night, and the next day, sure enough, Jiang's mother faced Jiang Yuanyuan with a cold face, and did not give Jiang Yuanyuan a look during the whole process.

"Mother~" Jiang Yuanyuan knew that it was not good, so she sat beside Jiang's mother crookedly and hugged Jiang's mother's arm, Jiang's mother took out her hand and ate breakfast silently without saying a word.

Jiang Yuanyuan asked Jiang's father for help, Jiang's father shrugged helplessly, and Jiang Xuan walked away directly with the bowl.

Sighing lowly, Jiang Yuanyuan poked the porridge in the bowl, a little frustrated, Jiang's mother is usually very talkative, but once she gets angry, she ignores people for many days.

Coaxed for a day to no avail, at night, Jiang Yuanyuan sat in the courtyard and pondered, she didn't feel at first to tell Jiang's mother that a large part of the reason for this matter was because she knew that Jiang's mother would disagree, although she didn't understand why Jiang's mother would resist so much.

Jiang's mother has been pregnant for more than four months now, and her belly is already a little big, and when she came out of the bath, she was a little distressed when she saw the poor Jiang Yuanyuan standing in the yard, but she still felt angry in her heart, so she didn't pay attention to Jiang Yuanyuan and went back to the room directly.

Jiang Yuanyuan held her chin and pondered, and fell asleep unconsciously, little by little, when Jiang's mother got up at night, she saw Jiang Yuanyuan still sitting here in the middle of the night, afraid that Jiang Yuanyuan would freeze, and hurriedly went to shoot Jiang Yuanyuan.

As soon as Jiang's mother walked in, Jiang Yuanyuan woke up, she saw that it was Jiang's mother, and her brain was still a little confused, but her body was already very honest and continued to beg Jiang's mother.

"Mother~ Don't be angry."

"Alas!" Jiang's mother was also impressed by her daughter, she held her forehead and walked into the house a little weakly.
