Chapter 195: Stealing adobe
Now that the land has just thawed, if the weather can remain fine, spring plowing will be available in a few days, and everyone will have to work in the field at that time, and Luo Jingyan's project will be put aside first.
Therefore, the people on Luo Jingyan's side must detain all the adobe needed to build a house in the past few days, and also dig the foundation, and after the spring ploughing, people will have to be idle for a while, and they can officially start building houses.
These masons usually work for others for three cents a day, Luo Jingyan gives them five cents, just to let them hurry up and catch up, the premise is to ensure the quality, Luo Jingyan before the start of work, with them three chapters, if the quality of their work does not meet her requirements, she will not give them so much wages.
The masons worked very hard and carefully enough to rush the work, and at the same time, they were tired and sweaty in the cold spring weather of February.
Among them, only two came with towels, and they could wipe the sweat off their faces with towels, and those who didn't have towels could only wipe their sweat with their sleeves.
Xue Yanchen and Zhao Jun are younger than them, more powerful than them, and they do more work than them, and the two of them also sweat a lot.
Because their work was dirty, Xue Yanchen was digging the foundation with a shovel, and the dust on the ground would splash up from time to time and fall on his body, and his hands were also stained with a lot of dust, and some of them also fell on his face, plus a lot of sweat on his forehead, flowing down his cheeks.
His hands and sleeves were dirty, and he couldn't lift his hands to wipe the sweat.
When Luo Jingyan saw it, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and walked over to help him wipe the sweat off his face.
"Thank you, daughter-in-law." He smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Luo Jingyan looked at the others: "There are so many people present, I'll leave first, and I'll come back later." ”
Compared with Xue Yanchen, Zhao Jun is more miserable, he and Xue Yanchen do different work, he is deducting adobe.
After using a shovel to put your living mud into the wooden mold, you need to press the mud flat with your hands, pat it firmly, and then turn the mold upside down and buckle the adobe inside to the ground.
It made him even dirtier than Xue Yanchen, his hands and body were not covered with soil, but mud, and similarly, detaining adobe was also a very physically demanding job, when he sweated, sweat flowed into his eyes, and his eyes were almost unable to open.
But he couldn't wipe it with his hands, and there was mud on his clothes, so he couldn't rub it.
After Luo Jingyan saw it, she didn't dare to wipe his sweat, not only would Xue Yanchen be jealous, but she was also afraid that others would gossip.
Fortunately, she prepared a basin of water in advance, so that those people could wash it when they needed it, and when the water was too dirty, she went to change it.
Zhao Jun knew this, and when he wanted to put it aside, he went to wash it, but today he didn't want to wash it.
If I wash it myself, I'm afraid I will miss an opportunity to chase my daughter-in-law.
He stood in front of the mold, his hands were muddy, and he looked at Qin Zhenzhen for a while.
Luo Jingyan said: "Zhao Zhiqing, you stop and wash first." ”
Of course, Zhao Jun refused to listen to her: "What a waste of time to wash your hands and face, we have to rush the deadline." After that, he buried his head and continued to work.
"Zhao Zhiqing, you don't have to be like this, in fact, you are not in such a hurry."
"That's not good, no matter what I do, I don't like to grind, it's best to do it all at once, clean and neat, you don't need to persuade me."
Luo Jingyan looked at the handkerchief in her hand, she still didn't go over, Qin Zhenzhen saw that she was embarrassed, and said, "It's too inappropriate for you to wipe his sweat, my cousin will definitely be jealous when he sees it." Anyway, I don't have a partner, and I'm not from here, I'm not afraid of anyone saying that I have something with him, and he can't open his eyes, it's weird and uncomfortable, I'll go and wipe him. "Anyway, she'd fed the guy and didn't care about wiping his sweat again.
As long as there is no physical contact, she doesn't care.
"Then I'm bothering you."
"No trouble."
Qin Zhenzhen took out her handkerchief from her pocket, walked up to Zhao Jun, and asked Zhao Jun first: "Zhao Zhiqing, the sweat on your face is about to flow into your eyes, and the sweat will cover your eyes, don't you mind if I wipe it for you." ”
"Oh, don't mind, don't mind." Zhao Jun hurriedly replied, and raised his face: "I'm sorry for you, it's inconvenient for me to wipe the sweat with my hands, otherwise I'll wipe it myself, to be honest, this sweat is really uncomfortable in my eyes." ”
When Qin Zhenzhen was about to stretch out his handkerchief, he glanced at the other party's clean blue handkerchief, but: "My face must be very dirty, will it stain your handkerchief?" ”
"It's okay, I'll just take it back and wash it again."
"Alright then, thank you, Comrade Qin."
Qin Zhenzhen wiped all the sweat off Zhao Jun's forehead with a handkerchief, Zhao Jun enjoyed the care of his sweetheart, smelling the fragrance on Qin Zhenzhen's handkerchief, and almost fluttering.
After Qin Zhenzhen wiped his sweat, he found that he still looked intoxicated.
So, he reminded him loudly: "Zhao Zhiqing, it's already been wiped." ”
Zhao Jun reacted and thanked Qin Zhenzhen again: "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Qin." ”
"You're welcome, you can get on with your work."
"Hmm." Zhao Jun was full of energy, and he worked harder.
On the same day, Zhuang Feifei and Uncle Zhang were busy from morning to night, pulling back two truckloads of blue bricks and one cart of blue tiles from the county seat, she temporarily called two strong laborers in the village to help her neatly stack the bricks and tiles on the edge of Luo Jingyan's homestead, the blue bricks and tiles and Luo Jingyan's freshly buckled raw adobe formed a sharp contrast, representing Zhuang Feifei's obvious provocation and demonstration against Luo Jingyan.
Luo Jingyan ignored it, she couldn't afford to deal with such useless things with Zhuang Feifei.
In the evening, when Qin Zhenzhen left, she took eight more watches from Luo Jingyan, and gave Luo Jingyan the money she had paid for the settlement last time.
Zhuang Feifei only took two days to buy all the bricks and tiles she needed, and she learned that Luo Jingyan was going to build four rooms, so she was also going to build four rooms.
Her four brick houses, Luo Jingyan's are only four adobe houses.
When their houses are built, and the brick houses are compared with the adobe houses, the rows are immediately high, and Luo Jingyan's adobe houses will definitely be turned into slag by her magnificent brick houses.
She also called the masons that the captain had found for her and asked them to dig the foundation, but the foundation had just been dug and the building could not be started for the time being, and the foundation needed to be completely dried and solid before it could be built, otherwise, after the house was built, there would be a risk of resurgence and downward collapse.
