Mr. Transcendence

Yuan Anping is not familiar with building a house, let alone has no time to stare at it all the time.Therefore, the only one who can help him take care of this matter is uncle Yuan Gensheng.

Yuan Anping sat in the yard and talked to Yuan Gensheng: "Uncle, the weather is getting warmer now, should we be able to break ground?"

"Yes, you want to build a house, right?" Yuan Gensheng knew that the yard of Yuan Anping's house was a bit old, mainly because some people couldn't live in it, so it would be nice if he had the money to take the opportunity to build a new house: "When do you plan to start construction?"

Of course Yuan Anping wanted to build the house as soon as possible: "The sooner the better. Now that there are more and more children, if this continues, there will be no place to teach."

Hearing what he said, Yuan Gensheng thought that Yuan Anping was planning to build a school: "Anping, it would be easy if we built a school. You can ask the village head to help mark out a larger area, and everyone in the village will definitely come to help. In this way, the house will be built. It's much faster."

"It's not building a school." Yuan Anping explained to him, "I don't have any fame right now. If I build a school, I will be born without a name. I plan to build a new house. When the time comes, I will build a few more rooms, which will be enough for the time being. The school Let’s talk about it after I pass the examination as a scholar.”

Yuan Gensheng understood as soon as he heard it: "There is still this concern, you should be thoughtful. What kind of building do you plan to build? Is the money enough? If not, I will give you some money."

"The money is enough, and I don't plan to build it very well. It's just an ordinary brick house." Yuan Anping showed him the picture he drew, "I want to build a courtyard with two entrances. I changed a piece of land a few years ago. It’s enough to build a yard. It’s just that I’m not familiar with how to build a house, so I have to ask uncle for your help.”

Yuan Gensheng took the drawing, because it was a three-dimensional drawing, so he could see it clearly.The yard is not small and there are many rooms. Yuan Gensheng readily agreed: "Okay, I will help you with this matter. You have to teach the children every day, so how can you have time to stare at the house? Leave it to me, you Don't worry about it."

Yuan Anping didn't thank you either. It would be a bit too extravagant to say thank you with such a close relationship: "Okay, uncle, do you estimate how much it will cost to build this house?"

"I really can't figure it out." Yuan Gensheng had never built such a brick house before, "I'll ask someone to find out."

"You don't need to be so troublesome." Yuan Anping took out a bag of silver. "Here is 200 taels of silver. Uncle take it and use it first. If you don't have enough, you can ask me for it."

"It won't cost so much, right?" Although Yuan Gensheng didn't know how much such a yard would cost, he felt that it would definitely not cost 200 taels of silver. Woolen cloth."

Yuan Anping felt that it was better to have more than less, lest Yuan Gensheng secretly add money to it because he was too embarrassed to ask him for money: "It doesn't matter if you have too much, this time you should find people in the village to work, right? Building this yard will cost a lot of money." It takes a lot of time, they won't ask for wages, right?"

Yuan Gensheng shook his head: "They're all in the same village, what kind of money do you want, and our village doesn't have this rule. We also use the help of acquaintances to build houses in our village. You help me this time, and I will help you next time. That way. Besides, if you start building a house at this time, you won’t be able to delay the work in the field, and there should be many people who can come to help.”

"I built such a big house, so it's not easy for people to work for nothing, right?" The houses in the village are simple, with a big yard, but not many rooms.Yuan Anping felt that the house he wanted to build was not small, and it would take a lot of time to build more rooms.People always help with work for nothing, and I always feel a little bit sorry.

Yuan Gensheng laughed when he heard him say this: "It's not a job for nothing, you have to take care of the food. Besides, people in our village are all thinking of your kindness. They help build houses, or use them for How could they not be happy with the house where the children go to school?" He couldn't help but exhort, "Anping, even if you have money, you can't pay them wages. There is no such precedent in our village. If you give money, let What about those who build houses in the future? For some families, it is not easy to take care of food, so how can they have money to pay for them.”

Yuan Anping nodded, building a house in the village is a process of mutual assistance.You help me this time, and I will help you next time.It is also because of poverty, if another labor fee needs to be paid, the house may not be able to be built.He also thought clearly that even if he has money, this rule can't be broken: "Uncle, I don't know how to build a house, so what should I do if I can't finish this job?"

Yuan Gensheng smiled and said: "Look at you stupid, who would ask you to build a house. If you feel sorry, you can eat better, but remember not to go too far." Then he explained to him, " Many people in our village murmur about how much money you have, and they are jealous. If you are generous, people will think that your family is very rich, and they will come to you to borrow money when they encounter any problems. Do you want to borrow money or not? Borrow? If you borrow it, there will be no beginning and no end. Even if you say that you don’t have that much money to borrow, people will definitely not believe it, and it’s easy to complain.” Everyone can guess that the food in Yuan Anping’s family is good. Yuan An usually cooks some food for the children from time to time. Of course, many people are grateful, but it doesn't stop them from muttering.Whispering how rich Yuan Anping is and how generous he is.

Yuan Anping didn't have much contact with the villagers because he either went to class or stayed at home to study every day.Coupled with his current husband's status, the villagers always feel a little distance from him.I feel that Yuan Anping is an educated person, and these big bastards can't mess with educated people.The older ones greeted each other when they met, and the ones of the same age didn't like Yuan Anping because of this sense of distance.

Yuan Anping also noticed this phenomenon, and felt a little bit moved by the respect people here for learned people, and also felt that it was not easy for him to make friends in the village.However, because he was often accompanied by children, and Zhongsun Lianjue constantly added to his academic tasks, it didn't make him feel as lonely as snow in life.

Yuan Anping said that he was educated: "I understand. Uncle, I don't understand much about the affairs of the village, so I'll leave it all to you. Please put more thought into it."

"You're being polite. I'm your uncle. I should help you with the house. Leave it to me, and I'll take care of it for you." Looking at Yuan Anping now, he's more than just a husband. , Now that a big house can be built, Yuan Gensheng is very pleased.Thinking that Yuan Anping will also handle the marriage in two years, and he will be more at ease then.After a hundred years, he will have the face to meet his second brother and his wife.
