Early the next morning, after the family finished breakfast, they ran to the place where the old courtyard was located, and according to the design drawings studied yesterday, they compared what should be built here and what should be used there, and the faces of adults and children were full of smiles.

After a while, Yang bricklayer came with a few apprentices, and after a while, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu also came, as well as the young people who were working in the forest farm to help Lian's family, also came to Lian's house one after another.

After everyone came, it was naturally indispensable to have a greeting, especially Yang bricklayer, when he helped the Lian family build a new yard last year, he felt that such a clean and neat yard was very rare, and now I heard that the Lian family wants to build a bigger and better yard, or three in, I only feel that I have met a big gold owner.

"Oh, brother, you've made a lot of money this year, and you're going to build a bigger yard this year?" Yang Bricklayer laughed and came to Lian Qingshan and Cui'er, and said with his hand.

"Everywhere, everyone helps." Even Qingshan smiled and said politely, his attitude was cordial and sincere, not inferior to the old oilman of the shopping mall like the money shopkeeper, which made people can't help but feel good, and even the little envy and jealousy that made Yang Bricklayer have before disappeared.

"How are you going to build this yard?" Yang didn't know the specific design before, and when Lian Qingshan asked someone to pass the word, he only said that he wanted to build a three-entry courtyard, so he asked so much.

"Plan to ...... like this" Lian Qingshan said the house he needed to design before, and Cui'er and Uncle Zhong, Uncle Lu, and Aunt Lu added on the side, and the time of a pillar of incense made the general situation of the house to be built clear.

"Say so. This yard is really not small, and the construction period will take two or three months! Yang Bricklayer sighed, if he could save such a large family business, it would be good!

"Look at these things. How much bricks and timber do you need, and how much labor costs? "Before starting construction, it is natural to determine how much money will be spent, and the bulk of this cost is bricks and wood, and the other is labor costs. This brick and wood can not be saved, and the labor cost is in it. The labor in the mountain field does not need to spend money alone, but the money of Yang bricklayer master and apprentice has to be paid alone.

"If I do this roughly, your yard will cost at least thirty or forty taels of bricks and tiles, and if it is wood. Now you can pick the trees on the mountain and cut them down, dispose of them and put them for a few months, and you can save some money on the timber in the two yards behind you. "Yang Bricklayer is a sincere person, and his friendship with the Lian family is also good, and he sincerely helps Lian Qingshan to come up with ideas to save money.

"As for the ......wages," said the bricklayer Yang and rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, "to be honest, let me build three rooms, I know how much it will cost." But you asked me to build such a big yard, to be honest, I haven't built it, and I don't know how much it will cost......"

"How much is how much. We're all old friends, we can't let you not make money! Uncle Lu waved his hand and said with a serious face.

"That's the case, at the beginning, our six houses and a large courtyard were four taels of silver, and our current courtyard is the same as the original. Three courtyards are twelve taels ......," Yang Bricklayer whispered, as if he wanted too much.

"I've got a lot more houses than before. If it is according to the original price, it will be too low......" Lian Qingshan groaned. "In this way, after the three courtyards are built, I will give you a total of fifteen taels of silver, do you think this is okay?"

"Fifteen taels of silver, that's too much, isn't it?" Yang Bricklayer felt a little dizzy in his head, and hurriedly excused himself and said.

Yang bricklayer built a house, in previous years, he was able to pick up a few single two taels of silver, it was already very good, very good, the whole year added up to only five or six taels of silver, last year he received a single four taels of silver, he was already happy, and now there is a big job of more than ten taels of silver!

"That's it, this yard is too big, if you can't make money after months of hard work, wouldn't it be too much to go?" Lian Qingshan said, and the clapper was decided.

"Then thank you Brother Lian!" Yang Bricklayer listened to this, and if he refused, he couldn't bear to himself, forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and arched his hand to Lian Qingshan, "The affairs of this house will be handed over to me, and I will ensure that the one built for you is beautiful and sturdy!" ”

After negotiating the price, you can officially start construction, everyone meets so a total, the sooner the start of construction, the better, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, directly today!

Speaking of starting to build a house, everyone also has experience, knowing that after the place is demarcated, you can start digging the foundation, so you measure the place to build the yard, put a drill in each place, pull the line, and start digging the foundation according to the situation of the line.

This foundation is different according to the different houses, the type is also different, for example, the main house of the occupants, because the house is higher, and the house is built into a platform to cushion the height, the foundation needs to be deeper and firmer, because the weight of the top is heavy, the foundation is shallow and easy to collapse.

And for a short wing house or something, the foundation can not be so deep, after all, the house is not high, the weight is not heavy, even if it sinks, it will not sink much.

According to the previous design plan, everyone is preparing to build the first courtyard first, and the roasting tea room and tea warehouse are the most important parts needed.

Because the first yard is a place side by side with the old yard, the house in the old yard was not directly demolished, but kept for Yang Bricklayer and Uncle Zhong and others to live in.

Of course, the matter of building a house had to be reported to the village chief, and after arranging the things to be done, even Qingshan and Uncle Lu carried a basket of eggs and a large piece of muslin, and went to the village chief's house to make peace.

With the schedule and a lot of young and middle-aged laborers, after the bricklayer measured the place and drew the line, everyone began to get busy, shovels, hoes, pickaxes...... Regardless of whether it is a farm tool or a tool for building a house, it is not easy for a dozen young and middle-aged men to dig the foundation of a few houses?

I watched as a deep pit was dug out of the flat ground where the path had been drawn. Cui'er took the children to watch, and she was very excited, although Cui'er knew that she might not always live here in the future, but this place was in Cui'er's heart, on this hillside of Shantun. It's your own home, and building your own home is something that makes people happy.

"Mother, let's start digging the foundation now?" The big girl's red little face was full of excitement, jumping around happily, and her pigtails flew up with her movements. It looks lively and cute.

"Well, yes, after this foundation is dug, we can build a house." Cui'er nodded with a smile, and reached out to touch the little face of the big girl who was flushed with joy. The mood is also the same as the big girl.

Xiaohu was a calm look, looking at his mother and sister with an excited face, but Xiaohu was unmoved like a little adult, staring closely at the person digging the foundation, with a serious face.

"Ah, it's almost lunchtime, let's go cook?" Aunt Lu looked at the sky and said suddenly.

"Hmm. Good! Cui'er nodded, and subconsciously pulled the children to the new yard, when the new yard was built, Cui'er was the one who packed the food. Now I continue to build a yard, and I don't have anything to eat, and I don't have the slightest consciousness that I am the daughter of a tea family.

"Miss, you can cook their food, I'll just go." When Xiang Mo heard that her young lady was going to cook for the gang of old people outside, she immediately became anxious. Said busily.

On weekdays, my own young lady cooks, this is for my aunt and little young master. Although I feel that the young lady is wronged, it is a matter of the family. But the honorable lady cooks for a bunch of big men...... Xiangmo couldn't think about it, and stood in front of Cui'er with red eyes, "Miss, you can rest, I'll cook this meal!" ”

"It's not a big deal, look at your grievances." Cui'er was startled by Xiang Mo's red-eyed and aggrieved appearance, turned her head to look at the men who were working in full swing over there, and then looked at Xiang Mo, who was caring for the master, and did not get angry, but smiled faintly.

"Xiangmo, what are you thinking in your heart, I know, and it is because I know that I can't do what you think." Cui'er stood in front of Xiangmo and said seriously to her, "Yes, I used to be the daughter of a big family, and it was not bad to have a noble status, but now I am the daughter-in-law of the mountain people, so I should do what the daughter-in-law of the mountains should do, behind me, not only the people I invited to help build the house, but also the relatives and friends of our family, cooking a few meals for them will not insult my identity, and I also think it is very deserved." ”

"Miss......" Xiangmo's eyes turned even redder, and big tears flowed out of her eyes, she was thinking about Miss, but Miss blamed herself for those mountain villagers, the more Xiangmo thought about it, the more sad she became, she was really wronged.

"Don't cry, I'll go back and tell you this truth, you just need to know that there is no one who is expensive or who is cheap, everyone earns money with strength and ability, and they are all worthy of respect." Cui'er stretched out her hand and patted Xiangmo's shoulder, and said with a slight smile, "Including you, Xiangmo, you are also worthy of respect." ”

"Miss ......" Xiangmo, who was originally wronged to the point of not being able to do it, was calmed by Cui'er's words, and she is also worthy of respect? I'm just an ordinary girl, I can't do anything except serve people since I was a child, is I even worthy of respect?

Cui'er smiled and led the big girl and Xiaohu to walk past Xiangmo, leaving Xiangmo to stand alone and think clearly. In Cui'er's heart, there is no distinction between high and low, if Xiangmo can't overcome the hurdle in her heart, she may not stay by her side for a long time.

What Cui'er didn't know was that although she and Xiangmo didn't talk loudly, the gentle wind carried the sound to the ears of a group of people digging the foundation, although they were still continuing to work, but at the same time there was a question in their hearts, "I, a mountain villager, am I worthy of respect?"
