Chapter 60: Building a House

In the early morning, standing on the path of the farm, take a deep breath, fresh dew mixed with the smell of fresh grass comes to your nose, and look up, the blue sky is clean without a trace of impurities.

Yu Qinghe took a few children in the family to set off towards the field, today is the day to plant soybeans.

The two big oxen in the village also began to plow the land, and except for the big oxen, the rest of the people had to rely on rakes to level the land.

Five people pull a handful of rakes, one person in the middle is driving, four people are two on the left and two on the right, and there is one person shaking in the back.

In this way, the adaptability is strong, the seeds are evenly sown, and it is the young man who pulls the rope with strength.

All I could hear was a clang, and all the seeds were buried under the ground.

The Xu family had hundreds of acres of land, and it took three or four days to plant the beans in the field.

Sure enough, nothing compares to working in the field, and this time Yu Qing was tired and lay on the bed for a day before recovering.

Just after a day off, Yu Qing didn't dare to forget the agreement with Ning Kaiyang, and the next morning, she went to the town with the old hen's eggs that had been stored at home for half a month.

There are now three hens in the family, and Yu Qing will secretly buy eggs from the mall and put them in the chicken coop every time to ensure that the hens at home have six eggs a day.

The family scrambled eggs every two or three days, and saved 70 eggs in half a month.

This time, Yu Qing took the back basket at home and set off for the town at eight o'clock.

It was past nine o'clock in town.

She took the key and walked towards her new home, and when she got to the yard, she went to the backyard to find an empty house.

White flour is one pound and one point, she bought six bags and spent three hundred points, and coarse grain is divided into two pounds for one pound, and she bought fifteen bags and spent three hundred and seventy-five points.

The grain bags are pure white with no printed words.

After putting the food away, Yu Qing locked the door and went to Ning's house.

Ning Kaiyang had been waiting for Yu Qing for a long time, and he sold all the pork he pulled out last time within a few days, and directly earned more than three hundred yuan.

He regretted not letting Yu Qing come to him earlier.

Now that he heard the voice, Ning Kaiyang opened the door excitedly, but when he saw Yu Qing alone, he was a little puzzled: "Sister Yu, is there no goods?" ”

"Yes, in my rented house, you go to inspect the goods, and you take the time to take them away at night." It's too risky in broad daylight, and Yu Qing doesn't dare to pull it.

When Ning Kaiyang heard this, he hurriedly went back to the house to get the money, and hurriedly followed Yu Qing to her house.

After arriving, Yu Qing took him directly to the backyard.

300 catties of white flour and 750 catties of coarse grains, all of them are very good.

Ning Kaiyang was very satisfied with the goods, and looked at Yu Qing and admired it even more, where did this eldest sister come from, there were so many goods.

"Four hundred and two, you count them." Ning Kaiyang quickly finished the account in his heart, and gave more than four hundred to Yu Qing.

Yu Qing took the money and gave the door key to Ning Kaiyang: "You pull it yourself at night." ”

Ning Kaiyang took the key with a different expression: "You're not afraid that I will steal your things myself?" ”

"There's nothing else but food." Yu Qing waved her hand.

Ning Kaiyang was speechless.

Yu Qing took the money, glanced at Ning Kaiyang and asked, "Do you know where to sell bricks and tiles?" ”

"Kiln factory, you want to build a house?" Ning Kaiyang asked curiously, then gave Yu Qing an address, and said proudly: "You go over there to buy bricks, find a man surnamed Wan, you report my name, and he will give you a cheap." ”

And this good thing, Yu Qing's face was happy, it happened to be okay in the afternoon, and after saying goodbye to Ning Kaiyang, she went to the kiln factory.

The kiln factory is in the other direction of Zhenkou, but it is not too far, and Yu Qing took a bus to go.

It was about half an hour away.

When Yu Qing went, she happened to meet a man surnamed Wan, the man looked as big as Ning Kaiyang, Yu Qing did what Ning Kaiyang said.

mentioned his name, and Brother Wan really gave Yu Qing a little cheaper.

The brick house needs a lot of bricks, and it costs hundreds of dollars at once, and the bricks are delivered to the door.

After Yu Qing settled, she bought cement, she didn't want that kind of muddy soil, as soon as it rained, her feet would be full of mud.

The bricks and cement were delivered in two days, and Yu Qing returned to the village.

In the evening, she told Old Man Xu about building a house, Old Man Xu, and Mrs. Xu.

Yu Qing made a lot of money selling pork, and both the old man Xu and his wife knew that they didn't say anything about her building a house, after all, the house of the second child's family was built simply, and now it is okay to rebuild it if you want to.

In this way, the second remarried family will be willing to marry when they see the new house, and the third child will be married in two years, and the lotus leaves are also big, and the house is not enough to live.

Old man Xu knew that Yu Qing was going to build a house, so he went to the captain's house after dinner.

Pay the salary, one dollar a day, and take care of one lunch.

When Xu Jianguo released the news, many people came to work, and there were many people in Xujiawan, but there were also diligent and lazy people.

Old man Xu is the main candidate, and the ones who are selected are all diligent, and those who are not selected do nothing except say a few complaining words behind their backs.

Two days later, bricks and cement arrived.

When Old Man Xu saw so many bricks, he knew that Yu Qing was going to build a brick house, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity.

This adobe house is also sturdy and cheap, and this stone brick tile is very expensive.

But I've bought it all, and I can't return it.

When the bricks were delivered, Yu Qing's old house had already been pulled out.

Their family lives in the old house these days.

The foundation of the house here needs to be laid, and it needs to be built, and it will take about ten days to do it.

Old man Xu was in charge of supervising the work, and Yu Qing and Li Mei were in charge of making lunch, and then transporting it to the house building.

When I came to the old mansion, the food was obviously not better than at home.

Xu Xuehua and Xu Xiaoming were bored eating.

"What's the matter, you can't look down on the food I cook?" Mrs. Xu looked at the two of them and asked with a sad face.

Xu Xiaoming and the others quickly shook their heads, how dare they say that they can't look down on them.

It's just that I'm used to eating good, and then I eat coarse grain cakes for a while, and the boiled vegetables are a little unpalatable.

The good thing is that there are many people invited by Qingqing, and the work is fast, and the ten-day project is just eight days.

At the same time, Yu Qing admires the simple folk customs of this era even more.

In the summer, the sun was hot, and the family lived in the old house for a few days, and the cement floor in the yard was basically fine.

As soon as they heard that they could go back, Xu Xuehua and Xu Xiaoming applauded directly.

Mrs. Xu looked at it and scolded the two white-eyed wolves: "After living here for so long, there is no reluctance!" ”

"Milk, I'm definitely reluctant, but I want to see what the new house looks like." Snowflake said smartly.

Mrs. Xu had a smile on her face at this time, and looked at Yu Qing at the same time: "The second family's family, it cost a lot of money to build a house."

This can't be wasted like this in the future, Xiaoren and Xiaoming are both going to marry daughters-in-law, and they will be places to use money when the time comes. ”

Yu Qing nodded hurriedly, it cost six hundred yuan to build a house this time, and she still had more than six hundred left.

It's no problem to use all these years until next year, it's a big deal that she just needs to go to town a few more times.

By the next year, she would start doing business openly.
