Chapter 88: Preparing to Build a House
The village chief came out and saw that they were still there, waved his hand and said, "Why are they still blocked here, hurry home if it's okay." β
Everyone smiled, but none of them left.
In the winter, there is no work in the fields, and the village finally has new residents, which must be followed by the excitement.
The Jiang family pulled the ox cart and followed the village chief in the direction of the village.
The more they walked, the fewer houses they went, and finally they stopped outside a large blue-brick house.
On the way, Jiang Zhiyue had already told the Jiang family that this was where they were going to live temporarily.
The village chief took out a key and opened the door, and there were a lot of weeds growing in the yard and a lot of dust in the house.
But the house is very tidy, clean up and can live.
There are five or six rooms in the yard, and the kitchen is very complete.
The people who followed the excitement outside were shocked when they saw the Jiang family and his party following the village chief into the house.
It's all from a village, and of course they know whose house it is.
But the important thing is that this house costs 100 yuan a day, and these people who fled the famine live in it like this?
Jiang Zhiyue agreed with the village chief to pay the house money every five days, and the money would be transferred by the village chief to the family.
Jiang Zhiyue took 500 yuan in front of everyone and handed it to the village chief, and the money and goods were both gone.
The villagers outside were silent, and their hearts were a little sour.
It seems that those people are not fleeing the famine, they are.
But in the end, this is also other people's money, and they are not qualified to say anything, so they can only look at it sourly.
After handing over the money, Mrs. Jiang and the others stayed at home to clean up the yard and house.
The rest of the people followed the ancient village chief to see the house.
The village chief took them from the head of the village to the end of the village to see the houses where each person built a house, and let them choose their own place.
Old Man Wang Fugui, Old Man Jiang and Jiang Yu discussed with Jiang Zhiyue for a while, and finally decided to want the house in the open space at the back of the village.
The land in front of the village where no one built a house was eaten by the villagers.
If they choose the house there, the villagers will have to pull out all the food.
Although they did not exclude them, the new outsiders, from settling in the village, they might have asked for the houses where the vegetables had been grown.
And Jiang Zhiyue felt that it was inconvenient to live in the middle of the village.
Although I have only come to this meeting, everyone can see that the people in the village are not having a good time.
Now they are not short of money in their hands, and if they eat meat at two ends in three days, wouldn't it be eye-catching!
Besides, there are no two houses in front of or in the middle of the village, or the place is not big enough.
So they decided to choose the house in the back of the village, a little further back than the courtyard they were renting now.
After they discussed it, they followed the village chief to choose the house.
The government originally gave two houses, and the Wang family asked for one, and the Jiang family bought two more pieces of land next to it in addition to that house, which directly became a big house.
The Jiang family only needs to go to the county government office with the village chief to prepare the case and land deed.
The crowd of onlookers was already numb, and dozens of taels of silver said that flowers would be spent, even if they were sour, it was useless.
However, someone still said sourly: "Hey, I'm really so rich, just buy a house in the town and move to the town, what are you doing here." β
It was a woman who spoke, and except for Jiang Zhiyue, who came out to pick up the house with the ancient village chief, they were all men, and it was not easy to fight for the speed of this tongue, so she didn't hear it.
Just when everyone thought they weren't going to get into a fight with the villagers on the first day they came.
Jiang Zhiyue glanced at the woman and suddenly said, "It's really salty and don't worry about eating radish." β
The woman's eyes widened, she looked at Jiang Zhiyue and said, "You girl...... What do you mean! β
Jiang Zhiyue glanced at her and said, "I said, let you be nosy." Initial update @ "
When the woman opened her mouth in annoyance, she was about to scold: "You stinky girl......"
But Jiang Zhiyue directly interrupted her words and said, "Uncles, we chose the house."
If there are people who are willing to build a house, they will come to us tomorrow to sign up, and the salary will be 20 yuan a day, not including lunch. β
Everyone looked at Jiang Zhiyue in surprise, and then at Old Man Jiang and them.
They hadn't discussed this matter yet, but Old Man Jiang still reacted quickly.
He smiled and said, "What my granddaughter said is true, if anyone is willing to help build a house, they can come and sign up tomorrow." β
Everyone had a smile on their faces, who remembered the unpleasant thing just now, and began to ask repeatedly about the truth of this matter.
You must know that after winter, they have no work to do at home, and they are almost idle to grow hair.
If you can earn some money by building a house a year ago, this year will be better.
And the woman couldn't say the words that were stuck in her throat, or she didn't dare to say them.
She also has a man in her family, and she also wants her family to help earn some copper plates.
So the woman kept her mouth shut, and planned to let her men and children go tomorrow when she signed up.
Then there was nothing to do, and the onlookers all left with smiles on their faces.
They had to go back and tell the family the good news.
Twenty yuan a day, and the people in the town who work as contractors only pay fifteen yuan a day.
They didn't ask how many people they needed to do the work just now, so they had to go over to the new one early tomorrow to sign up, otherwise someone else would steal it.
Jiang Zhiyue and the others also stopped by and went back to the house they are renting now.
Jiang Yuchao wanted to send the village chief back, but the village chief waved his hand and refused, and then left humming an unknown song.
By the time Jiang Zhiyue and the others went back, Mu Ran had already eaten and left.
The people who remained in the yard pulled out all the weeds in the yard and swept the dust from the house.
As soon as Mrs. Jiang saw Jiang Zhiyue coming back, she pulled her over and asked anxiously, "Zhiyue, why did someone come to ask us about recruitment just now?" β
It turned out that just before Jiang Zhiyue and the others came back, those who got the news came to ask for the news.
I want Mrs. Jiang and the others to leave two places for their family for the sake of the friendship that they just chatted outside the ancient village chief's gate.
But Mrs. Jiang didn't know about it, so they could only reveal it.
This will watch Jiang Zhiyue and them come back, so don't you just drag and ask.
Jiang Zhiyue told me about hiring someone to build a house.
Mrs. Jiang was a little distressed about the silver, that person had twenty yuan a day, how much money did it cost to build a house!
Jiang Yuqing also came over and said, "Zhiyue, we can't build this house ourselves, we have a lot of family, and it won't take long to build it." β
After Jiang Yulai sent Xiao Wang to the house, he also said casually: "Your second uncle is right, just build a house, our family can do it ourselves, and we don't need to find anyone anymore." _o_m β
"Let's build my uncle's house together, and then build our house together."
"The house we used to build was built by ourselves, so it didn't take much trouble."
Everyone agreed with their two brothers' proposals.
Jiang Zhiyue saw that what they said was the truth, but she didn't directly agree to this matter.
Since she bought two more houses, the house must have been built quite a lot.
There are a lot of people in their family, but most of them are old people, women and children, and few can really contribute.
If they wait for them to build a house, they won't know if they can live in it.
She said: "The New Year will end in less than two months, and we will not be able to catch up with the speed of building ourselves." β
As soon as Jiang Zhiyue said this, everyone hesitated a little again.
Because the village chief said when he left that the family would come back to live for a period of time during the Chinese New Year, then they would definitely not be able to continue renting a house.
Old Man Jiang didn't speak for a long time, and finally decided: "Zhiyue is right, the first year we are here, the house is the first root we have rooted, and we can't even have a house during the New Year." β
"Azuki bought two more vacant plots of land next to that house, which together are much larger than our previous house.
We'll discuss how to build this house in a while, and then we'll get ready to go. β
Now that the matter has been decided, they don't bother anymore.
There are only six houses in this house, and just now everyone let Jiang Yulai and Xiao Wang live in the smallest one.
The remaining five houses still have to be crowded into the crowd before they can live in.
After a busy day's work and hadn't eaten, the Zhang family hurried into the kitchen to cook.
The rest of the people were all around Jiang Zhiyue to discuss the matter of building a house. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First update~~
Jiang Zhiyue took out a drawing of a new house, she started preparing it a few days ago, and now it just came in handy.
Old Man Jiang and Jiang Yuqing all came around to watch.
Jiang Yuqing looked at the drawings and asked in surprise: "Yue girl, did you draw the drawings of this house?" β
Jiang Zhiyue nodded and replied, "Well, I painted it during the rest on the road in the past two days, is there any problem?" β
Jiang Yuqing scratched his head and laughed twice: "There's no problem, I just think your painting is quite novel, what did you use to paint it?" β
Jiang Zhiyue was stunned by the question, and suddenly remembered that the people here still use brushes to paint, and her drawing is drawn with bamboo charcoal.
"It was painted with firewood and bamboo charcoal burned on our road."
Jiang Yuchao took the drawing in his hand and said with some appreciation: "The painting is good, but looking at it this way, it is a little more three-dimensional than the drawing drawn with a brush." β
Jiang Zhiyue smiled modestly, she can say that she is not used to painting with a brush before using bamboo charcoal!
She digressed the topic and said, "Then let's see if there is anything that needs to be changed in this drawing." β
Everyone gathered around and discussed for a long time, and decided on the rough prototype of the house, planning to start working after buying bricks and tiles.
The Wang family is just the four of them, and there are not many houses they need at present, so they decided on the room type after a brief discussion.
Then you need to go to the town to buy bricks and tiles.
Jiang Zhiyue found that the worst houses built by farmers here were made of mud and straw.
Slightly better, use wood, and there are green bricks and terracotta.
They can go up the hill to find some wood, but they have to buy bricks and tiles.
There are also glutinous rice mortar and rammed earth, and you also need to go to the town to buy materials.
