My daughter-in-law is a snake

Chapter 38 Building a New House

There were eight old gentlemen on a big kang and it didn't look crowded. The guests and hosts had a good meal. After drinking and eating, the village chief took them to the village to wander around the place where the factory could be built, considering the future safety and hygiene. After discussing the problem, we finally settled on an open space of about ten mu not far from the mountain.

The procedure was done very quickly, and the town also attached great importance to this matter, so it was done within a week.

The Xiu family stuffed them full of special agricultural products again, and then he let out a sigh of relief after seeing off the three great gods.

Before leaving, Han Zheng left another sum of money, which was specially used for building a house.According to him, although the house was built on the site of the Xiu family for the two bastards to live in, the money must be paid by the Han family.

Han Zhen knew that it was for Han Zheng to save face, so he took the money silently.

After they left, Xiu's family began to find someone to build a house. They built a half circle along the courtyard wall of their house to form two large courtyards next to each other, and then ran around to find bricks. Wood for beams.

Houses in the rural areas of Northeast China are all about bigness. Big houses have big yards, and some even make the living room extra spacious. You can pass cars just by driving the front and back, which is very grand.

Han Zheng gave a lot of money, and Han Zhen felt that the house was his own anyway, so he was willing to spend money to buy the best bricks, tiles, beams, and floor tiles.The house was built by an old bricklayer in the village. His surname was Yang, and he was also related to the village chief.Uncle Yang Liu gave a lot of advice, and even said that it is best to get a flush toilet and build a cellar to connect it, so that he doesn't have to go out to the toilet in winter.

As soon as Han Zhen heard this, he immediately took heart, and after discussing with Uncle and Aunt Xiu at night, he simply built his own toilet inside the house, and built two small houses in the backyard next to the courtyard walls on both sides, one for Uncle Xiu. The aunt used it, and the other two sons of the Han family used it, and then dug a cellar on each side, repairing the small one for the uncle and aunt, and the larger one for the newly built yard, which saves trouble.

Building a house is a big deal, and almost all the strong laborers in the village will come to help.When the ground was broken, a firecracker was set off, and a few daughters-in-law and aunts were invited to help cook.

The cooking here is done in a simple way to fight hunger. At noon, I can eat Chinese cabbage stew and pancakes and steamed buns casually. If I am full, I will have the strength to work.Steamed buns during the day and night, a big pot of sauerkraut and pork buns are placed fat and white in the dustpan, and occasionally a group of children will run over, each of them will take one, grab it warmly in their hands and run away .

Uncle Xiu and Aunt Xiu didn't stop it either, because the more people came, the better their family relationship was, and it was too late for them to be happy.Moreover, everyone in the village knew that the daughter-in-law of Xiu's second child was going to come to the village to build a factory. This was a good thing for them. At least the children in the family could stay in the village to earn money without having to go out to work.

It is also the greatest hope of the elderly that children can stay at home.

The house here had just finished the beams, and Han Zheng recruited someone to build a factory.

Only one engineer and two assistants came to build the factory building. First, they went to see the place where the house was to be built, and made gestures with the blueprints. Then they discussed the construction period with Uncle Yang, the bricklayer. stayed here.

This is also a great honor for the village chief. He walks with the wind these days, smokes when he sees people, and his face is flushed with joy.

The house was put on the beams and sealed the roof, and the first fire was lit on the stove, and the Stove King was invited to stick it on the stove, and it was all done.

Uncle Xiu bought another pig and killed it. He stewed several pots of meat dishes and invited the whole village to eat. The excitement lasted all day and didn't subside until evening.

Now, no one is talking about Xiu's second son having a brain problem and finding a son-in-law. Everyone is greedy. What if there is such a son-in-law who doesn't have children?You look at Xiu’s family walking with wind these days, and even the uncles and aunts in the village with the same surname Xiu also got their faces covered, and they didn’t tell them what they said before. Throw it back.

When the family was busy, the restaurants in the town were a bit neglected. Aunt Xiu found a brother-in-law from the same village surnamed Xiu, and hired her as the shopkeeper.

The brothers in this family are the third eldest, and when they meet each other on weekdays, they call him Third Uncle Xiu, and their lives are normal, the daughter-in-law is married from another village. It is said that the family was too patriarchal before, and life was very hard.

Third Uncle Xiu doesn't have any skills, he just lives on a few acres of land, and his family is poor, but he is an honest man with a solid heart.After marrying a daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is also weak, and will not be able to give birth to a daughter.Uncle Xiu didn't dislike him either, and wholeheartedly provided for his daughter to go to college.

Although Third Aunt Xiu is not in good health, she is a clean person inside and out, and she cooks delicious food. She even sold soybean paste to Xiu's family, and she is also on the list of Xiu's family who can cooperate.

So when Aunt Xiu approached her to ask, Third Aunt Xiu agreed immediately. It was like a piece of cake from the sky. Although it was only 500 yuan a month, it was still a lot for her!

So I got up early every morning to feed my own pigs, and then every night, I took out the pickles and mushroom sauce that would be sold the next day from Xiu’s house, and caught the first bus to go to the town, and then I started. .

Han Zhen was the happiest when Aunt Xiu stayed at home.Because sister-in-law Yue is a month old and her belly has rounded up, he usually walks in fear and tries not to let sister-in-law Yue work.But there is more and more work at home, and sister-in-law Yue can't take time off, and she is very tired after a day.

Aunt Xiu took over Sister-in-law Yue's job when she didn't go to the town. Now she only needs to pick up mushrooms and rummage through dried vegetables every day, which is much easier.

Zhenling Village is going to build a factory, which is a big event!On the day the construction started, there were people from up and down the ridge to help.Uncle Yang Liu picked someone up and started in full swing.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If we don't start work quickly, we are afraid that it will be too hot and there will be insufficient manpower due to busy farming.

The wheat in the field has been harvested, the rice has been planted early, and the corn has begun to ear and fill.

Summer is the busiest day for farmers.

Every day, Uncle Xiu and Boss Xiu rushed to the field to work in a hurry at dawn, and the second brother Xiu went directly to the place where the factory was built, so busy that he didn't touch the ground.

Even those half-grown children would come over to help after school. They have long been proficient in moving bricks and carts. The children in the countryside start to do farm work early, and they come to help all night and not only have a meal of meat and vegetables. Food, and ten yuan wages, which makes them all very active.

Although ten yuan is not enough to eat a meal at McDonald's in the eyes of children in big cities, it is already a lot of money in the eyes of poorer rural children.

In August, the students all started to go on vacation. Da Niu usually only knew about these changes when chatting with her family on the phone. When she got home, she realized how big the changes were.

As soon as she came back, there was another labor force in the family. At least the whole family didn't have to lie on the kang table at night to write those express orders.

The big girl started customer service in a down-to-earth manner, and also advertised and promoted the store in a different way, and even made two kinds of mushroom sauces that were limited to one hundred bottles each, and each person could only buy two bottles Regulation.In addition to other pickles and pickles and some dry goods unique to Northeast China, nearly two hundred orders can be issued every day.

The waste collectors in the village all know them, and they tidy up the good cartons they collect, and then sell them to Xiu's family, earning an extra five cents per catty, which is quite a fortune in a month.

All kinds of vegetables and fruits in Han Zhen's space are ripe. Last month, Xiu Tianyu's comrades in arms sent him a lot of fruit tree seedlings from the south and several kinds of bamboo whips, and they are all growing lush now.

Xiu Tianyu reserved a lot of vegetables for planting, especially the kind that can be made into pickles and pickles, and planned to acquire more than ten acres of land for growing vegetables in the coming year.He believes that the vegetable seeds in the space must be better than the seeds he usually buys, so that the vegetables grown in this way will not be afraid of others asking where they come from.

The weeds and shrubs in the newly-packed mountains were all cleaned up. Xiu Tianyu contacted the grouse chicken seedlings seller and spared a day to buy chicken seedlings. Han Zhen originally wanted to go with him, but the house was really empty.He found a drink bottle and cleaned it, filled two large bottles of well water for Xiu Tianyu, and told him to drink the well water first when bringing the chicks back, so as to keep the chicks healthy.

Xiu Tianyu already knew that the well water was a good thing, so he put it away properly, and drove out.

The people they invited to watch the mountain and raise chickens were an old couple named Liu from Xialing Village. Two of their children stayed in the city. My family wanted to raise grouse at the foot of the mountain, so I came here to recommend myself.

The old couple are only in their 40s, they are in good health, and they have three big dogs.Usually the money sent by the children is useless, and most of it is spent on the dog.When Xiu Tianyu was finalized, he immediately went home and rented out the land, packed his luggage and came to Zhenling Village.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a house specially built to look at the mountain. It is surrounded by a tall courtyard wall. It is a standard configuration with two bedrooms and one living room facing south. When you leave the courtyard gate, you will see the fenced wire mesh, surrounded by hungry pine and hazelnut trees. And some bushes, the grouse are kept free-range in it.The big dogs were also kept inside the barbed wire to prevent those weasels and foxes from stealing the chickens.

This place happened to be in the middle of Xialing Village and Zhenling Village, and it was convenient to go to either side for anything.

Xiu Tianyu brought the chickens back in the afternoon. Old man Liu and his wife had already made preparations. This time, they will temporarily raise a hundred chickens. The chickens will be raised in ten cages for a few days, and then they will be reared in free range. go out.

After busying these days, it was getting dark, Xiu Tianyu returned home sweating profusely, rushed into the newly built bathroom and took a quick shower with hot water from the sun, washing off the smell of chicken shit.This journey has spoiled him, he didn't expect those chicken farms to smell so bad, even the chicks stink.
