Chen Changsheng knew that except for a few lazy people in the village, the rest would earn money if they had money.

So many bullock carts came to the village early this morning, and so many bricks were delivered. The news that Chen Changsheng was going to build a house spread throughout Chenjia Village, and more and more people came to watch.

As long as she opens her mouth, there will definitely be a lot of people signing up.

"Sister-in-law, you are really going to build a brick house with such a big yard." Chen Youjin came over with a hoe, followed by Chen Youyin.

While Chen Changsheng was explaining the specific requirements to the bricklayers just now, Mrs. Chen hurried home and called her two sons to come over and help.

If you call one more son, the eldest daughter-in-law will get one less salary.

Chen Changsheng did not expect that You Jin Youyin would come with Old Mrs. Chen, and asked, "Why are you all here?"

"Sister-in-law, there is not much farm work in the fields these days. Youyin and I have finished the mosquito coil work and have half a day to spare, so we can help you build it."

The sister-in-law asked the two brothers to be responsible for the process of kneading mosquito-repellent incense, and they were given 800 cash a month. With so much money, they only needed to work for half a day.

The two brothers felt that they had too much money and too few things to do, and they were feeling very sorry.

Now it's good, my sister-in-law's family is building a house, so I can come over to help.

Their men don't know how to do fine work, but they have plenty of strength for physical work like digging foundations and transporting stones.

Afraid that Chen Changsheng would be worried, Mrs. Chen added, "The second and third daughters-in-law are still taking care of them at home. If my old wife hadn't been old, I would have come to transport the stones."

"Mom, how can you work? Go and rest." Chen Changsheng looked at the old lady's hair with silver threads and advised her.

Apart from occasionally being reluctant to spend money, this mother-in-law is really a nice person.

"Then my old lady will help you prepare lunch." What Mrs. Chen thought was that if she worked more, her daughter-in-law's house would be built a day earlier.

Chen Changsheng tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail.

Youyin said cheerfully at the side, "Sister-in-law, please stop trying to persuade mother, mother just can't stop."

Old Mrs. Chen warned, "You two brothers must obey the arrangements and don't do anything blindly."

"Mom, don't worry. My second brother and I will definitely listen to the mason's arrangements. We will do whatever we are asked to do without causing any trouble." Chen Youyin promised seriously.

Seeing the two brothers Chen Youjin and Chen Youyin working for Chen Changsheng for free, the other men and women surrounding them didn't know what to say.

They also want to work, but they just don't know how much money Sister-in-law Chen can give them.

"The blue bricks have been transported back, and we still need tiles. I went to the county yesterday and decided on the quantity of tiles. Now we need people and vehicles to transport them back. This is a tiring job, and those who can do it will raise their hands. , Thirty coins a day." Chen Changsheng said loudly.

The county tile factory only delivers free tiles to people in the city. Remote mountain villages like Chenjia Village do not provide door-to-door delivery.

Chen Changsheng ordered a large number of tiles, and he only had one ox cart, which was used for delivery. There were no extra cars or people to pull the goods.

I can only find people in the village who have wheelbarrows and carts. Although it is a bit tiring, the wages given are not low.

The wages for carrying bags a day at the dock in the county town is only about ten yuan.

When they heard about thirty cents a day, the people in the village immediately became excited.

Thirty cents a day, if you can work for a month, you will have eight or nine hundred cents.

"I sign up!" Chen Daniu squeezed into the crowd excitedly.

Apart from Chen Changsheng's family, his family is the only one in the village with an oxcart.

If he could take over the job of transporting tiles this time, he would be able to save some money and buy some red bricks from Chen Changsheng's kiln factory. He also wanted to rebuild his house.

Now that the stomach is full and the family has surplus food and money, everyone wants to improve the place where they live.

"Okay, Uncle Daniu counts as one." Chen Changsheng wrote down.

Others don't have bullock carts at home, so they can only envy them.

"I have ordered a lot of tiles. Anyone who has a two-wheeled cart or a wheelbarrow at home can sign up, as long as they can transport goods."

Chen Changsheng wanted to pull the tiles back as soon as possible, and if Chen Daniu's family was left alone, firstly, it would make people jealous, and secondly, he was afraid that Chen Daniu would deliberately delay.

"I'll sign up, I have a trolley at home!"

"I also have a scooter, I'll sign up!"

"I have a unicycle, count me in!"

Since Sister-in-law Chen has said that as long as the tiles can be transported back, anyone can sign up, so there is no rush to do it.

Chen Changsheng finally decided among those who had cars at home that they would be responsible for transporting the tiles back.

It is up to these people to decide how many men a family will produce, as long as they ensure that the tiles are returned intact.

Of course, in order to prevent anyone from squandering the work, Chen Changsheng also made sure that the number of tiles shipped back every day was no less than 500.

At last count, in addition to his own ox cart, all the carts and wheelbarrows in the village, plus Chen Daniu's ox cart, totaled twelve, which could be transported in about ten days.

Those who don’t have cars at home can only watch helplessly.

Chen Changsheng asked again, "We also need people to dig foundations, lay adobe, transport stones, and move beams, wood, bricks, and tiles. We will pay twenty cents a day. If you are willing to do it, please sign up."

The men who had not been selected just now all raised their hands in unison, shouting "I, me, me", for fear that they would not have a chance if they were a step too late.

Although they don’t have as much money as transporting tiles, they don’t have a car.

Moreover, digging foundations, laying adobe, transporting stones, and moving bricks and tiles are all done nearby in the village. It is not like others who have to go to the county town. It is reasonable for them to earn more.

Chen Changsheng chose forty young and strong men. She originally wanted to choose more people so that the house could be built faster.

But it would be bad if the whole village came to build a house for her, delaying everyone's work at home and in the fields, and causing trouble.

Chen Changsheng ordered, "Dafu, please count the number of people, register all the names, and remember clearly how many days we have decided to do."

Her family does not have so many hoes for digging foundations, bamboo baskets for carrying stones, and dustpans with poles. Fortunately, they are all from the same village, and the selected people have these tools at home.

Everyone lined up to register at Dafu's place. After registering, they all spontaneously went home, brought their tools, and followed instructions to work.

Chen Changsheng looked at the list. There were a total of twelve trucks transporting tiles, including ten people digging the foundation, twenty people digging adobe, and ten people digging stones and moving bricks and tiles. Many people said when they registered that they had finished digging and laying the foundation. After making adobe, you can continue to do other things.

Anyway, as long as there is work and money to earn, they can do it, but they are afraid that Sister-in-law Chen will not want anyone.

Those who are not selected are basically men who are too old or too young, or are too thin, or have only one working person in the family and are really unable to get around.

These people just hate that they can't make money.
