At dawn, Chenjiacun was very lively.

More than a dozen oxcarts loaded with green bricks arrived in a mighty manner. It turned out that they were here to deliver green bricks to Chen Changsheng.

Bai Xiao's work was very efficient, and he had collected all the green bricks in less than two days.

Chen Changsheng also gave the house building drawings to the brick deliverer and asked him to take them back and pass them to Bai Xiao.

There were neatly stacked green bricks in the open space, and there were many villagers watching the excitement around.

"Sister-in-law of the Chen family is really going to build a house?!"

"That's right, and it's a blue brick house. Besides Li Zheng, the Chen family's sister-in-law is the second person to build a blue brick house in our village."

"After my family works in the brick kiln factory for a few more months to save some money, I also want to build a house."

Li was just washing his face in his courtyard when he heard the noise outside and rushed to Chen Changsheng's house.

He pushed through the crowd and got in. Seeing the piles of blue bricks in front of him, he asked in surprise, "Are you really going to build a house?"

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "When will the construction start?"

Chen Changsheng smiled brightly and said, "Dafu went to the city early this morning to look for bricklayers. I guess he will be back soon. Today will officially start."

After so many days since she came to this era, the house matter was finally put on the agenda.

Chen Changsheng had to endure the dark, narrow, leaky, musty house for so long.

I have also made a lot of money, and now is a good time. I can finally build a house openly.

Sure enough, regardless of ancient or modern times, buying a house is engraved in our bones.

"So happy?" Li Zheng exclaimed.

He knew that it would be a matter of time before Chen Changsheng's family built a house, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

I remember that when my family was building those two brick houses, the whole family discussed and discussed and considered and considered again. It took his father almost half a year to finally finalize the decision.

On the first night when construction of the house started, the whole family was so excited that they couldn't sleep all night.

Li Zheng looked at Chen Changsheng again and saw that her face was calm, as if building a house was as common as brushing her teeth and washing her face every day.

No, he doesn't brush his teeth and wash his face every day, he only washes it every two days.

Chen Changsheng said to Li Zheng, "Uncle, the blueprints for building a house are ready, and the masons will be here soon. I would like to ask for your help to find some people in the village to build a house for me, as many as you can find. "

The more people, the better. It is best to build the house within a month or even half a month. It does not matter if the furniture is later.

Li Zheng said politely, "You can help me or not. You need to hire people to build a house, but you still need my old man? Let any one of your four children howl now, and everyone can come."

Old Mrs. Chen also spoke up, "That's right. But why do you need to find people from the village to build two houses? It costs money to find people, so I just asked brothers Youjin and Yin to come over and help."

Not only do workers need to be paid, but they also have to take care of meals. Calculated every half month, it costs a lot of money.

Mrs. Chen was thinking about a house that was not that big, so she planned to let her two sons, the second and third, build it.

"Mom, I'm not building two rooms." Chen Changsheng thanked the old lady with a smile and explained, "I want to build seven rooms, plus a kitchen and two toilets."

"What? Seven rooms, but also a kitchen and a toilet? Just two toilets?!" Old Mrs. Chen thought she had heard wrong, so she repeated it and counted on her fingers.

"That's ten rooms! Why build so many?"

Ten rooms, how big a house that is.

A house as big as the landlord's house in Baishui County?

Two more toilets?

Before Mrs. Chen could figure out why her eldest daughter-in-law wanted to build so many houses, she saw a familiar bullock cart parked outside the crowd.

Chen Dafu jumped off the bullock cart and followed a few people from the car.

"Mom, I've invited all the masters here."

Chen Changsheng hired a total of six masons, who were responsible for the main room, the east wing, the west wing, the kitchen and the toilet. There was also a mason who was responsible for supervising the work and was equivalent to the commander-in-chief.

By inviting so many people to help, all projects can be carried out at the same time, the house can be built quickly, and everyone will not disturb each other.

Moreover, there are dedicated master masons watching over and directing the workers to ensure that everything is done according to the drawings and to ensure the quality of the house built. Chen Changsheng can save herself a lot of worry.

Dafu poured a bowl of water for each of the masters and stepped aside.

Chen Changsheng unfolded the house drawings and explained the specific requirements to several masons, "The main room is in the middle, and the wing rooms are on the left and right sides, each with three main rooms.

I will build another kitchen on the left side of the yard. The kitchen should be spacious. I will build two stoves and can also put firewood.

Build me a toilet at the back of the east and west wing rooms. "

When the time comes, the boy who is blessed with two fortunes, two years of wealth and three years of longevity will sleep in the three rooms on the west side, while she and Sixi will sleep in the two rooms on the east side. The five of them will share a room.

Although the children are small now and can be squeezed in, they will grow up in a few years.

As children grow older, they all want their own independent space.

Besides, brothers Dafu and Erlu are not young at all. Some of the older men in the village have wives.

When boys get married, they must live alone with their wives.

Instead of changing it later, just do it now.

The extra room was used as a guest room, although Chen Changsheng didn't know what guests or relatives there would be.

She had broken up with the Cai family from Zhaojiacun, and since the Cai family had seen the government, Zhao Daming's family of three would probably not bother her again.

There is also a room over there in the old house, and Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Cui probably won't be coming, but it wouldn't be wrong to get a guest room.

When the six bricklayers heard that ten houses would be built at once, they all became energetic. After reading Chen Changsheng's drawings, they were even more amazed.

They have built such a big house for rich masters in the city, but this is the first time they have built it in the countryside.

Rural families usually have one room for adults and one for boys. It would be great to have a separate room for girls, and it is even rarer to have a guest room.

But since they build more houses, they earn more.

Chen Changsheng added, "In addition to the main room, the six rooms in the east and west wings must have a kang."

In the winter when there is no heating or air conditioning, only the kang can keep you warm.

When cooking in winter, burning the kang for two hours will keep you warm all night when you sleep, not to mention the fragrance.

After hearing this, several bricklayers looked at each other in shock. This was the first time they had seen someone not making beds in the house.

There is wood everywhere in the mountains. The materials cost only a few dollars, only the carpentry fee for making the bed.

The woman in front of me can afford to build a brick house, and she doesn't look like someone who can't afford the carpenter's craft fee.

Regardless of the doubts in his mind, the leading masonry worker happily responded, "Sister-in-law, we will build it as you say!"

The matters concerning the masonry workers have been clearly explained, and the division of labor has been clearly defined. Now we only need to recruit people who can dig the foundation, transport stones, and move two pieces of wood and bricks.
