The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine
Chapter 422 House Building Plan
Ten minutes later, Jiang Qingyi walked to the outside of Zhou Daquan's yard, and the gate was open.
Jiang Qingyi didn't go in directly, but stuck her head in and shouted, "Is the captain home?"
Chen Xuefen heard the noise and came out of the house. Seeing that Jiang Qingyi was a stranger, she asked, "Are you the new educated youth?"
Jiang Qingyi answered obediently, "Auntie, I am the new educated youth Jiang Qingyi. May I ask if the team leader is here? I have something to ask you."
Chen Xuefen glanced at Jiang Qingyi's bag and enthusiastically called her in.
"Hey, the new educated Jiang is looking for you, come out quickly."
Zhou Daquan came out of the house quickly, and Chen Xuefen went to another room.
"Jiang Zhiqing, what do you want?"
Jiang Qingyi directly took out a piece of dried meat and half a pound of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper from her bag and put them on the table.
Zhou Daquan's face suddenly became serious. "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just tell me."
Jiang Qingyi smiled, "Uncle Zhou, it's like this, I'm not used to living with others, so I want to live by myself, do you think there is any solution?"
Zhou Daquan frowned, "Well... if you want to live alone, it's not impossible. There is an old empty house in the village that can be rented to you, but that house is not very good.
Another option is that the village will grant you a residential plot, and you can pay for it yourself and I will have the villagers build a new one for you, but the house will belong to the village after you return to the city. I don’t know if you can accept this.”
Jiang Qingyi was waiting for this sentence, so she hurriedly said, "Uncle, how much do you think this house will cost?"
Zhou Daquan asked again, "It will cost a lot of money to build this house. Do you really want to build it?"
Jiang Qingyi answered firmly, "Yes, my family gave me enough money when I came here, and they hope that I can live a better life."
She lied without blinking an eye, and Zhou Daquan couldn't go to Shen City to confirm the situation at her home anyway.
When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.
"Then wait."
Zhou Daquan went into the house and took out a notebook and came out again, "This is the remaining residential land in the village. You decide where to choose."
Jiang Qingyi took the notebook and looked at it carefully. To be honest, the map was a bit abstract and Jiang Qingyi could only understand it roughly.
She pointed to a place far away from everyone at the foot of the mountain and said, "Uncle, build the house here. I like quietness."
"This place is a bit close to the mountains. A few years ago, wolves came down from the mountains. Why don't you try another place?"
Jiang Qingyi found a fist-sized stone in the corner and crushed it into pieces with a light squeeze.
Ignoring Zhou Daquan's shocked expression, Jiang Qingyi continued, "Uncle, I can protect myself, so let's choose this place."
"So how big do you want your house to be?"
"I live alone, so it doesn't need to be too big. It just needs to have space for a table and cabinets besides the kang."
"It's just one hundred yuan. You don't have to worry about the materials. I'll find someone to build the kang and stove for you. As for the food that you'll need the villagers to help you with, you'll have to pay for it yourself."
Jiang Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "It's inconvenient for me to live in the educated youth camp. How about this, I give three cents to the villagers who come to help me every day. What do you think, uncle?"
"That's fine. It's not the autumn harvest yet, so we can have people start construction in the next two days. I guarantee it will be built well for you."
There was nothing wrong with Zhou Daquan agreeing to it. After all, everyone was short of food and money these days. But compared to food, everyone would definitely prefer money.
Jiang Qingyi directly took out twelve big unity notes and handed them to Zhou Daquan, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Daquan said a few more polite words.
Jiang Qingyi discussed a few details with him before slowly going back.
When they arrived at the educated youth point, Jiang Qingyi slowed down her pace. Chen Xiaofang and the others should be resting, so she didn't want to disturb them.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xiaofang and others went to work again.
Jiang Qingyi is really free now.
Li Siyue and Zhao Meili have not yet fully recovered their spirits. They lie on the bed like dried salted fish without any movement.
Jiang Qingyi was really bored, so she simply took out the original owner's high school textbooks to read.
The content of textbooks at that time was far less complicated than that of later generations. Even if Jiang Qingyi had already returned the knowledge in her mind to the teacher, she could still understand it easily.
The afternoon passed quietly.
It was around six o'clock when Chen Xiaofang and a few others came back from the fields.
Dinner was still corn grits porridge, and the side dishes were not much different from lunch, the taste was just the same anyway.
After dinner, Jiang Qingyi returned to the house, and Chen Xiaofang and others sat beside her.
"Sister Xiaofang, how do you distribute the cooking tasks? When is my turn?" Jiang Qingyi took the initiative to ask about this.
Chen Xiaofang thought for a while before saying, "I'm the last one to take the turn, and a new round will start tomorrow. Why don't you take the turn after me?"
"Tomorrow?"
Li Xia, who was sitting opposite, looked up and said, "Sister Chen, let's not do this. Tomorrow is the first day of work for the new educated youth. I'm afraid she won't have the energy to cook when she comes back."
Fu Yunyun also nodded, "Indeed, when I first came here, I wanted to fall asleep as soon as I got home from work. I really couldn't do anything."
Chen Xiaofang then asked, "Then how do you think Jiang Zhiqing should take turns?"
Fu Yunyun suggested, "Why don't you let her take your turn from behind? Not starting tomorrow, but after a few days you'll be used to it."
Li Xia also said, "That's fine, let's take another turn and let her line up behind you."
"Okay, since that's what you said, let's take turns like before. Tomorrow it's Yunyun, the day after tomorrow it's Axia, then it's me, and finally Jiang Zhiqing."
Seeing that they had discussed it, Jiang Qingyi nodded in agreement. She turned over and lay on the kang, rummaged through her luggage, smuggled out a handful of candy from the space, and then sat back down.
She evenly distributed the fruit candies to Chen Xiaofang and the other two. "Hey, I didn't bring much when I came here. Thank you for taking care of me."
After a few polite words, they finally accepted it.
It was getting dark, and Chen Xiaofang lit the kerosene lamp. She urged Fu Yunyun, "It's getting late. You should go take a shower and go to bed. You have to go to work tomorrow."
Jiang Qingyi also put away the book, took her own basin and went to the next door to get a basin of cold water, washed outside, and then went back to the room to sleep.
The next morning, a gong sounded outside.
Chen Xiaofang and the others habitually got up at this time, and Jiang Qingyi of course got up as well.
The person who has the turn to cook every day is only responsible for lunch and dinner, so everyone has to take care of their own breakfast.
Of course Jiang Qingyi couldn't go to work on an empty stomach.
On the way to the drying yard, Jiang Qingyi ate beef patties while walking, and of course she didn't let the smell spread out.
Li Siyue probably didn't get up early at home. She only struggled to get up from the kang when Jiang Qingyi went out with Chen Xiaofang and others.
Zhao Meili had already packed everything, but she still had to wait for Li Siyue to come.
