Escape the famine with full-level supplies

Chapter 47 Building a House

After arriving home, Lu Jinnian took a rest and told his siblings what happened today.

I heard that I found a place to settle down, and everyone looked very happy.

Although it is the same as being together as a family on the mountain, it is not a long-term solution after all.

"Brother, why did you suddenly think of this?" Lu Jincheng was very happy in his heart, but at the same time felt that he had too few things to do and would bother Lu Jinnian with everything.

Hearing this, Lu Jinnian replied: "Sooner or later, we will have a place to settle down, as you have seen, this mountain is not good, and the house is also small, so we might as well find a place to settle down."

Everyone understands this matter. Although life is plain and easy now, it is not an option to continue like this.

"Brother, when are we going to build a house?" Lu Jinxin was looking forward to his future life.

In her opinion, no matter where you go, as long as you are together.

Lu Jinnian thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for the snow to completely melt. It's still early. Besides, I have to go hunting in the mountains and save some money to buy more things."

Building a house is not something they can build, and they will definitely have to hire people in the future.Then you need to spend your wallet to eat, all of which need money.

She doesn't want to touch the things in the space. After her siblings get married or start a family, she will go to the mountains by herself, and these things will be available for use at that time.

Therefore, it cannot be said that she is selfish, some things cannot be explained clearly.

She doesn't care about eating and drinking, and if the other things can't be explained, they must not be brought out.

Everyone accepted the move, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Lu Jinnian tidied up the firewood outside, it's almost burned out during this period, and he can take some away.

The things at home are limited, so it is better to continue fleeing famine than to move.

They only have one set of clothes, and they have not added new clothes during the New Year.

Bought one set in fall and one set in winter.

As for the old clothes, she threw them away, they were tattered and the patches couldn't be patched.

Seeing that he didn't have many things, Lu Jinnian made two baskets.This work of weaving baskets is still learned from Lu Jincheng. In the past, the original owner of the family was sick, and this kid made baskets and the like to sell.

Now they don't need to sell this, because one hunting by Lu Jinnian is enough for them to make a year's worth of money.

"Brother, I'll also weave and sell backpacks in my spare time in the future?" Lu Jincheng sat beside him, skillfully weaving.

He knows that he needs a lot of money to study, and he can't make a lot of money, so he can make a little money.

Lu Jinnian rolled his eyes at him and said, "I think you are too busy? Have you read all the books? Are you sure you will pass the exam in two years?"

"If you have time to study more, your younger siblings still count on you. If you win the first prize, your younger sister will be able to marry a good family, and your younger brother will be able to marry a well-educated daughter-in-law."

It wasn't that she was putting pressure on Lu Jincheng, but that this kid was always thinking about helping out.

The family has food and drink, so why use him?
As long as they study hard and become officials or something in the future, they will be able to stand up.

Hearing that Lu Jincheng continued to weave the basket in silence, he was not sure, but he didn't know how to help the family.

Maybe Lu Jinnian is right, only after he is in high school can he bring the greatest help to his family.

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything.

Winter to spring.

Half a month later, the snow under the mountain has almost melted.

However, there is still a lot of snow on the mountain, so that going down the mountain is equivalent to wading the river.

During this period, Lu Jinnian went to the city twice, bought a wild boar, and bought books for more than ten taels of silver.

As for the school, she doesn't want extravagantly. If they don't accept people from outside, it will be a waste of effort.

Fortunately, there are books now. As long as you study hard, you will definitely have no problem rushing for the exam.

Recently, Lu Jincheng has also thought about it. Apart from reading, he is teaching his younger brothers and sisters. He doesn't think about anything in the rest of the time, only reading.

Seeing his performance, Lu Jinnian was very satisfied, how could he catch up with the exam if he didn't work hard?If you can win the number one prize by just reading a few books, wouldn't everyone be able to be the number one scholar in that day?

She was relieved that Lu Jincheng was studying like this because the original owner's talented father had been with them for a few years, and his younger brother was very smart and talented.

As long as you work hard and don't go to school and use your teacher to teach you, you will be successful.

The weather was fine that day, so Lu Jinnian went down the mountain with his siblings and family.

She built a simple shed near the homestead, and it's okay to live there temporarily.

I set off in the morning and arrived at the place around noon, which took more than half an hour longer than usual.

Because other people can't walk fast, she has to wait.

After arriving at the place, Lu Jinnian arranged for his younger siblings and went straight to Li Changhu's house.

"Is anyone home?" she called out from outside.

Li Changhu came out of the house, saw her and said, "It's you, what's the matter?"

The two met once before, but they didn't meet each other during the two visits.

"I've settled down in our Lijiazhuang, and I want to ask if you have someone who can help build the house?" Lu Jinnian went straight to the point.

This house must be built as soon as possible, otherwise it will not work to sleep outside for a long time.

Hearing this, Li Changhu was a little surprised, "Building a house here?"

Knowing what was going on, he said: "Yes, the houses in our village are built for a few pennies a day for one person, and one meal is required."

How much is the difference? It depends on the family situation. If you have the conditions, you can give more, and if you don’t have the conditions, you can give less, but it can’t be too low, and no one is willing to do it.

Lu Jinnian discussed it with him, and in the end Li Changhu was in charge of finding someone, and the price was five cents a day, which was considered normal.

The meal offering is to eat whatever you want, as long as you can eat enough. After all, it’s all physical work. How can you work if you don’t have enough to eat?

Back home, Lu Jinnian moved all the stones from the homestead to one place.

Here is a deserted open space, in addition to broken stones and weeds.

Although the place is at the edge of the village, it is large and can be surrounded casually.

She plans to build a courtyard wall and grow vegetables in the back. The back yard should be bigger, and poultry and the like can be raised in the future.

Even if the game is delicious, it is not as good as the ones raised at home, and the quality of the meat is quite poor.

Those who like wild game prefer these things because they eat well.

For example, in Lizheng, people eat more food at home, and they raise chickens, ducks, geese, etc., and usually eat much better than the people in the village.

Lu Jinnian had almost picked up all the stones, and it was almost dark.

"Brother, come back to eat!" Lu Jinxin shouted from the shack.

Now there are no conditions. Everyone eats early and goes to bed when it gets dark.

Replenish your energy and go to work during the day. Building a house is not just a matter of using your mouth, you have to keep up with your physical strength.

Otherwise, relying on others will also cost money, and doing more by yourself will save money.
