Chapter 29: The Bricklayer's House Talks About Building a House

"I know, but I'm afraid some people don't know."

"Yes, some things are lost, and they are lost forever. In the past, when Qingxin's father was alive, he supported the whole family by himself.

As soon as he left, he began to mistreat his wife and children."

"Now his wife and children have become prominent and are the object of everyone's flattery."

"That's right, that's right, the new girl must not be soft-hearted. Some people are born snobbish and think that orphans and widows are easy to bully. Now they are slapped in the face, right?"

"As for me, I will never forgive you! Just live your own life if you have the ability. We finally got rid of those blood-sucking bugs, we can't let them bother us again."

After the man finished speaking, he looked at Chen Lai and others meaningfully.

When Mr. Chen heard this, his forehead started throbbing. He felt completely embarrassed.

It's all that old woman's fault. If she hadn't been making a fuss all day, his grandson would have had a chance to become a general with his martial arts skills.

So he must be the general's grandfather, how mighty and majestic is he?

I really can't accept that the endless wealth and glory I have imagined has just passed me by.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking more.

If he angered the brother and sister, they could possibly beat him into pieces with one punch.

Chen Yaozu glared at Chen Lai fiercely, then walked towards home with his hands behind his back.

Chen Lai and others followed anxiously.

When everyone saw that the protagonist had left, they all left.

Third Grandma, Aunt Zhou, and Chen Li said goodbye and went back.

The village chief handed the land deed and house deed to Chen Qingxin and said with concern:

"New girl, the weather is getting colder. Uncle thinks you'd better repair your bamboo house. If it snows in winter, it won't be a problem if the house is drafty on all sides."

Chen Qingwen took the deed with both hands and said firmly:

"It must be repaired. Thank you, Uncle Village Chief.

I plan to build a courtyard in front of the bamboo house.

This place is too close to the mountains, and the wild animals cannot find food in winter, so it is possible that they go down the mountain.

So we must make plans early. Uncle Village Chief, I want to ask Uncle Liu the Bricklayer to help me build a house. Can you introduce him to me?"

The village chief agreed without hesitation: "No problem, Lao Si is pretty good at his job. When can I take you with me?"

"It's better to go now than to wait for a better day. Is it feasible to go now? Qingwen, take a pheasant and a rabbit each to the village chief and bring them back."

The village chief waved his hands and refused: "How can this be possible? You keep the money to sell to build your house, how can I take your things?"

"Take it, let Qingwen carry it so no one else can see it. Also bring a pheasant for Uncle Bricklayer." Chen Qingxin instructed his second brother.

Chen Qingwen put a rabbit and two pheasants into the backpack, and said with a grin, "Got it, elder sister."

"I really can't do anything about you. I'll take you there now." After the village chief said this, he took the siblings back to his own home first. After throwing the pheasants and rabbits back home, he took everyone straight to his cousin's house.

"Is the fourth one at home?"

Liu Laosi ran out to open the door for his eldest cousin. Seeing two children following behind him, he asked in confusion:

"Brother, do you have something to ask Fourth Brother? Qingxin, Qingwen, are you and your brother here?"

Chen Qingwen bowed and greeted: "Hello, Uncle Liu the Bricklayer!"

Chen Qingxin bowed slightly and said, "Uncle Liu, Xin'er asked the village chief to bring us here to discuss building a house with you."

Liu the bricklayer looked puzzled: "The new girl wants me to build a house for her?"

"Come in and sit down, and talk slowly." Village chief Liu reminded them when he saw several people standing in the yard.

Liu the bricklayer grinned sheepishly: "Yes, yes, yes, you see my memory, I forget everything when I'm happy. Xin'er, Wen'er, you can sit wherever you want. Mother, serve the tea."

"I'm here, I'm ready. I thought my husband wanted me to stand outside for a while before coming in!"

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

The bricklayer's wife Qian Dahua served each person a bowl of tea and then left.

Village Chief Liu took a sip of tea and then explained his purpose:

"Old Four, the new girl is planning to build a courtyard house. Can you help her calculate how much it will cost?

How long will it take to be completed?

Please help calculate the materials, you have been in this business for several years, you know where to buy building materials at a reasonable price, please recommend some to her."

Although Liu the bricklayer often went out to help people build houses.

But I still return to the village every night.

He doesn't have to personally check on construction sites that are a little further away.

So, he also heard some things about Chen Qingwen's family.

These two siblings are both blessed people, and you should definitely make friends with them.

So he asked, "What kind of yard do you plan to build, Xin? Have you decided what materials to use?"

Chen Qingxin took out the architectural drawings that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve.

Liu the bricklayer took the blueprint and looked at it, and he immediately became upset:

“This picture is so detailed and clear!

This is the first time I have seen such exquisite drawings in all these years!

New girl, who drew this picture?"

Chen Qingxin pointed at himself and said with a smile: "I drew it myself."

When the village chief saw his cousin's overjoyed look, he couldn't help but stand up and take the blueprint. He saw the entire courtyard's physical map, vividly presented on the paper.

Exactly the same as the real thing.

There is also a floor plan on the side with names and dimensions marked on it, so even people who don't know how to build a house can understand it.

“Girl, every bedroom has a bathroom, what does that mean?

Where can I buy those pipes buried underground, and what are they used for?" Liu the bricklayer asked questions like a curious baby.

Chen Qingxin patiently explained: "These tubes are not available on the market yet.

I asked my master to get it from a faraway place. It is used to make sewer pipes.

Every room has a restroom, which means that people living in it can wash their hands, take a shower, and even go to the toilet without going out.

The wastewater generated is discharged through a pipe into a special septic tank outside the house.

The thin water pipe can bring well water into the house. This is the washbasin. You can wash your face by turning on the faucet.

There is also a sink in the kitchen for washing vegetables.”

"No need to carry water? This is amazing! What if these uncles don't know how to install it?" Liu the bricklayer said embarrassedly.

“It’s okay, I can teach you when the time comes. I need to finish it within a month, so I can find more people to do the work.

The labor cost is not a problem. I will take care of the labor for you. Just name a price for the meal. I will buy the ingredients myself."

"It will take 30 days to complete, and we will need 20 people every day, for a total of 600 man-hours. Based on the current price of 40 wen per day, it is estimated that 24 taels will be needed." Liu the bricklayer looked up from the drawing, looked at Chen Qingxin and said truthfully.

"I'll give you 40 taels, and you help me get things done.

In addition, I invite the village chief to be my supervisor, Uncle Liu, do you mind?"

Liu the bricklayer quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "I don't mind, one more person means more strength. Even if we don't work, it's good to see the workers not being lazy, hehe!"

Village Chief Liu didn't expect that he would still have his own business, so he asked uncertainly: "New girl, are you sure you want your uncle to help you watch over you?"
