The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband
Chapter 21 Building a new house
After packing up the things they bought, Zhao Ye cooked dinner. Although Li Shao also wanted to cook for his wife, his cooking skills were not as good as Ye Ge's, so he could only leave the cooking to Ye Ge and he was responsible for washing the dishes.
After dinner, Li Shao went to the village chief’s house carrying the snacks he had bought in town today.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief opened the door and saw that it was Li Shao, who was holding snacks in his hand. She hurriedly took the things and invited him into the house. "Brother Li, come on, what else are you bringing? Are you here to see your father-in-law? Please come in."
"Mom and Dad, Brother Li is here."
The village chief had just finished his meal and was sitting in the main room to rest. When he saw Li Shao coming, he invited him to come in and sit down.
"Brother Li is here. Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten, Uncle Zhao. Sorry to bother you so late."
The village chief waved his hand nonchalantly, "Sorry for bothering me. You don't need to bring anything next time you come to my place. I heard that you bought a donkey today. That's great, young man."
Li Shao smiled and replied, "I'm thinking of doing some small business in the future. It would be convenient to have a car to go to town. I came to you today to buy a few acres of land, and I want to build another house next to my current house, and I want it to be bigger."
The village chief thought for a moment and said, "People generally won't sell their fields easily. I'll keep an eye on it for you. As for building a house, the empty land to the west of your current house is unowned. It's about one and a half acres. I'll give it to you at the price of wasteland, five hundred coins per acre. How much do you want?"
As soon as Li Shao heard this, he knew that it was the village chief who was looking after him, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I'll take all the land."
"Okay, I'll help you with the formalities tomorrow morning. By the way, now is not a good time to build a house. The autumn harvest is coming soon. Only those people in the village who have no fields or little fields have the time to build houses with you." The village chief thought for a while and said.
Generally, when building a house in a village, people would look for people from the same village and give each person ten cents.
However, Li Shao did not plan to hire only villagers to build the house. He planned to build an improved version of a blue brick and tile house and hire a professional craftsman from the town. However, he would also hire a few men from the village who had little land to help.
So Li Shao said, "I was thinking of moving in before the New Year, and it's also the time for the autumn harvest, so I thought of finding some masters from the town and a few less busy men from our village to help."
Seeing that Li Shao had his own ideas, the village chief didn't say anything more. He just thought in his heart that a rich man had come to their village and wanted to buy a donkey and build a big house.
The next morning, after getting the land certification documents, Li Shao went to the town and asked the waiter at the restaurant where he had dined before if there were any skilled house repairmen.
I found out about a Master Qian, who usually had seven or eight apprentices and specialized in repairing houses for some wealthy landlords. I heard he had also repaired houses for officials.
His work schedule is usually full, and Li Shao is lucky that Master Qian was stood up by a customer, so he had time to repair the house for him.
Master Qian is indeed a man who specializes in building houses for rich people. After Li Shao finished talking about his requirements, Master Qian immediately drew a rough layout of the house on some rough paper.
The entire yard was surrounded by a blue brick wall from front to back. The whole house had a main hall, a side hall, three bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and a large bathroom, which was convenient for him and Ye Ge'er to take a bath together.
In addition, five more empty rooms were built, which can be used as study rooms or toy rooms for children when they are born. A place for raising livestock was also planned.
Some vegetables can be grown in the yard, and there is also space for digging a well. Li Shao plans to dig a well at home to save him from having to fetch water outside every day.
The kang needs to be built into a fire-heated kang. I heard that the winter here is very cold, and Ye Ge'er can't be frozen. Fortunately, Master Qian is knowledgeable and knows how to repair a fire-heated kang.
He also said that he could meet all the other requirements raised by Li Shao, and improved the construction plan according to Li Shao's requirements. When he showed it to Li Shao and Zhao Ye, they were both very satisfied.
Since they were going to build a new house, all the matching furniture had to be made, as well as miscellaneous items such as pots, pans, and bowls. Li Shao and Zhao Ye were busy again.
Building a house in the village is a big deal, so as soon as the news that the Li family was going to build a new house spread, Zhaojia Village became lively again.
Everyone who heard the news thought that Li Shao was a real hidden talent. He had just bought a donkey and now he was building a new house.
The aunties and young wives gathered together to do needlework and chat about gossip.
"By the way, do you think this idiot has really been harmed by someone? I haven't seen him in the village these days."
"How is that possible? Listen to his mother's nonsense. He is a thief every day. He might have stolen some money from somewhere and went out to hang out. He will come back when he has spent all the money."
"I think so. Yesterday his mother cried and yelled that her son hadn't come home for several days and must have been harmed by someone. She forced her eldest son and youngest son to go look for him, but no one paid any attention to her."
"If you ask me, she's the only one in her family who still misses this vagrant. Her eldest and youngest sons' families wish he would never come back."
"Don't mention him. Hey, have you heard? The Li family is going to build a house, and it's a blue brick house. Yesterday I saw the man of the Li family contacting the brick kiln in the next village to buy blue bricks."
"I've heard so much, but I never thought Li Shao really had a lot of money. He has only been in our village for a short time, but he is already buying a donkey and building a house."
"Of course I am. If I had known he was so capable, I would have introduced my sister to him."
"Hey, who says it's not true? This Ye brother is really lucky. Brother Li fell in love with him not long after he came to our village. I didn't expect that with his previous reputation, he could still find such a man."
"If Brother Qi knew about this, he would be so angry. He stole his brother's fiancé, but now Brother Ye has found a husband who is rich and loves him."
"Hey, stop talking nonsense. If the Zhao family hears, she will tear your mouth apart. Besides, Qi'er's husband said he wants to be an official in the future. We dare not say anything to an official."
"Bah, wait until he really becomes an official. I have been looking out for Ye Ge'er since he was a child."
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. The Li family will definitely need manpower to build a house. I have to ask my head of the family, Mr. Tian, to go and ask. He can also earn some wages."
"It's the same in my family. I'll ask my boss to go, too."
......
Li Shao selected a few strong and honest men from the village who wanted to help build the house. Each man was paid 20 wen a day, including a meal at noon. This was already a good job. A short-term worker in the town who went out early and came back late would only be paid 40 wen without meals, and this job was not available every day.
Zhou Zheng, the husband of Zhao Ye's good friend Baoger, also came. Zhou Zheng was the youngest son in the family. His mother originally wanted him to marry a girl from her own family, but Zhou Zheng was unwilling and insisted on marrying Baoger, so they separated.
Because Zhou's father and mother lived with their eldest son in their old age, Zhou Zheng and his wife only got a small house and two acres of land. Zhou's mother wanted to force her son to obey her, so she didn't give them much money. Usually, Bao Ge'er raised chickens and ducks for eggs, and did some needlework to supplement the family income.
Zhou Zheng works in the fields, and in his spare time he does odd jobs at the town's dock, but there is not always work.
After hearing what Zhao Ye said, Li Shao also wanted to help his friend, so he asked Bao Ge'er to help cook for the workers with Aunt Su, and gave him 20 coins a day. Anyway, the money would be given to anyone, and it would definitely be given to the close ones.
After hearing this, Zhao Ye happily hugged Li Shao and gave him a big kiss, "My husband, you are so kind, thank you. Before, after that incident, among all the girls and boys around me, only Bao Ge'er treated me the same as before. He would help anyone who bullied me and scolded them back. I also want to help Bao Ge'er."
Li Shao really enjoyed his husband's initiative to get close to him, "Little fool, why are you thanking me? I will be nice to whoever is nice to you."
