Chapter 43 Return to Calm
"Don't just watch."

After Lao Xu finished speaking, he didn't talk to Zhang Chi, turned around and went back to the kitchen cart, took a torch, and caught the big mouse directly.

Seeing that Ergou had caught the mouse, he let go.

Meow!Meow!
The thin little milk sound rang out again.

Now Zhang Chi likes Ergou more and more, so he grabs Ergou and turns to leave.

Old Xu saw it and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Feed Ergou breakfast, you deal with the mouse!" After finishing speaking, he copied Ergou away without looking back.

Seeing the mouse on the fire clip, Lao Xu turned his head and glanced at Zizhou, and found a stone not far away, so he went over and put the mouse on the stone, stepped on the mouse's head with his head, and it was over. A big rat.

Picking up the torch and looking around, he threw the mouse into a small forest not far away, then hummed a little tune and returned the torch to the kitchen cart.

Zhang Chi had already poured a basin full of milk powder at this time, Er Gou, a foodie, directly inserted half of his face into the milk basin, and what he ate was called joy.

Old Xu came to Zhang Chi's side, looked at Ergou and asked, "Your cat has a kitten and give me a kitten. I have a lot of mice over there, and the cats raised at home are not very useful."

"I'm a male cat, how can I give it to you?" Zhang Chi asked back with a smile.

"Tom cat?"

Old Xu couldn't believe it, so he fished Ergou out of the food bowl.

Ergou, who was eating, was a little unhappy, meowing and twisting his body to get closer to the basin.

Lao Xu held the second dog and said to Zhang Chi: "This is a male cat? Don't fool me!"

"Yes... I'll go" Zhang Chi looked at Ergou, and found that Ergou was not a male cat, but a little female cat.

"You can't tell the difference between male and female cats, can you?"

Lao Xu felt that the expression on Zhang Chi's face didn't look like it was faked. He obviously didn't know that the cat was a female cat.

"My aunt said it was a male cat, so I didn't care," Zhang Chi said.

These days Zhang Chi really didn't notice these things. Auntie said it was a male cat, so he thought so. He didn't expect Ergou to be a female cat. This is a big deal!

"Okay, give me one when you give birth to the cub." Old Xu put Ergou back to the side of the basin.

Er Gou, who was out of Lao Xu's control, inserted his head into the milk pot again happily.

"Okay, don't blame me if the kitten doesn't work hard then," Zhang Chi said.

"It's not your fault." Old Xu looked at Ergou who was feeding with a smile.

"By the way, why are you here so early today?" Zhang Chi asked.

Old Xu said: "Can't I bring you the sewage tank?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, only then did Zhang Chi realize that the pickup that Lao Xu drove today was a long bucket, and there was a huge iron pot on it.

"Bury this today?"

Old Xu said: "Well, I will bury it today. After this is buried, there will be no big work here."

"What about solar panels? Not counting?" Zhang Chi asked.

Old Xu said: "Then there is a special installer, we don't need us, we can connect the wires after they are installed, by the way, the small generator used in your RV is not good, it is best to replace it with a bigger one. The generator, otherwise the refrigerator will not be able to be used in the future.

Don't buy it here, the things sold in the US are too expensive, you should buy our domestic ones, and now there are [-] volt generators in the country... ".

"I know, I'll contact you later!"

Zhang Chi decided to call Brother Xiaoma later, not only to buy a bigger generator, but also to buy a firewood stove. With his current pot, it is inconvenient to do anything here, the stove is too small, It is a bit annoying to have to cut a fish into several pieces for stewing.

The two talked for a while, and when Lao Xu saw the jar was unloaded, he left, while Zhang Chi practiced his denim skills on his ranch.

The lasso or something, Zhang Chi watched other people’s videos to play it very easily, but it’s his turn. The cowboy in the video can swing the lasso into a circle. When it’s Zhang Chi’s turn to swing the lasso, at most One line, after a day or two, there is still no progress, let alone practice some calf.

When the noose got stuck, Zhang Chi went back to the caravan, put down the noose and went to see someone installing a sewage tank. They didn't want his help, so he just watched boredly.

Just staring at this thing, watching others finish their work, that is to say, watching for a few hours, it is really a pain in the ass.

The sewage tank is installed, which means that the toilet in the house can be used.

The water and electricity in the room have also been completed. Needless to say, the electricity and the like use solar panels. If the sun is not strong, we need to rely on generators.

There is nothing Zhang Chi can do about water and so on. It stands to reason that he wants to hire someone to dig a well, but everyone knows the depth of Zhang Chi's pockets, and there is no such condition yet.

Now there is only one water storage tank, about two or three cubic meters, anyway, it is enough for the time being.

For Zhang Chi, transporting water is also a simple matter, just put it in the gourd directly. It is annoying, but it saves money.

In the next few days, Zhang Chi gave full play to the spirit of watching the excitement, watching the workers finishing up his room, and now the main thing is to paint the room, the floor needs a layer of wear-resistant paint, and the walls What to put on a coat of paint.

The bigger job is the installation of various cabinets.

As for the furniture, Lao Xu didn't take care of it, Zhang Chi had to figure out how to do it himself.

Watching and watching, the house is getting closer to completion day by day.

Zhang Chi had his own small family for the first time in his life, and gradually appeared in front of him.

Although the house is small, it is well-equipped with almost all the internal organs. The kitchen has a range hood, the bathroom has a shower, and there is a fireplace for winter in the house.

As for other things, there are not yet, Zhang Chi decided to wait for the second-hand sales fair in the city to see if there are any bargains.

Needless to say, the warehouse and the cowshed are very simple. A space is surrounded by four walls. The warehouse is smaller and the cowshed is larger. A part of the solar panel is installed on the roof of the cowshed just like the house, which can provide certain lighting for the cowshed. .

Everything is almost there, and it is time to finish.

Lao Xu rushed over at noon and took Zhang Chi to check everything inside and out.

"If there is no problem, sign here, and the rest of the money will be transferred to this account within a week." Old Xu saw that Zhang Chi didn't make any choices, so he handed a list in his hand to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi really couldn't find any reason. Although the house is not big, how can I put it, the price is quite affordable. It is more than enough to live alone. Even if the whole family comes, they can barely squeeze in.

The house here is not shared or shared. The area of ​​the house is the same as the living area of ​​the house. Don’t underestimate the house of [-] to [-] square meters. It may be more than [-] in China. square.

Everyone got along well, and Lao Xu even changed it here, removing some impractical places, and increasing the area of ​​the house by a few square meters.

Now the house has a layout of two bedrooms and one living room. Both rooms face south, and there is another small room that can be used as a storage room or as a small room when guests come. In general, Zhang Chi is very satisfied with the current layout of his house.

It doesn't matter if you are not satisfied, even with the money in Zhang Chi's pocket, you can't live in a house like Uncle and Auntie.

Zhang Chi took the form, signed his name, returned the form to Lao Xu and said, "Then let's have a good meal tonight or tomorrow, and I will hold a thank you banquet for you!"

These days, everyone gets along very well, and there is not even a little conflict. Zhang Chi feels that it is necessary to treat the workers to a meal according to our Chinese tradition.

After hearing this, Lao Xu waved his hands again and again: "No need, no need! Most of the workers will have to go with me later, and the rest of the workers will have to go back in the evening. Our relationship will be officially over, just wait and see." You have made a fortune, we will come again when we renovate the big house."

"So anxious?"

Zhang Chi was a little surprised when he heard that, why he had to leave after the end here, and he didn't even have time to eat.

Old Xu said: "There is no way. It is cold here for half a year. If you don't take advantage of these months to make some money, there will be fewer projects to start when the snow falls."

"It's not short of time for a meal, right?" Zhang Chi still wanted to keep him.

Old Xu said: "Let's wait for the opportunity in the future. If we have the opportunity, we will eat and drink together again. I really can't spare time at this point in time. I always have to stop and stop eating. If I am in a hurry, I won't be able to taste it."

Old Xu really doesn't have time to have dinner with Zhang Chi. He has three projects in hand now, and he has to work on the same axis. If he eats here for a long time, maybe the next few projects will be affected.

Those who do engineering would rather rush forward than delay the time. The more they delay, the more work will be done. When the time comes, they will not be able to hand in the work on time, which will affect their reputation.

It is very important to work here to gain reputation, many of which are accumulated by word of mouth, such as Zhang Chi's order, if you can't finish the work on time, others have opinions, and naturally you won't give it to your friends Introduce your team.

After Zhang Chi heard this, he had no choice but to say: "That's all right, let's get together sometime, and you guys do your work first."

"That's right, I won't tell you anymore, I have to clean up and rush to the next house, if you have any problems with the house, you can call me directly." After finishing speaking, Lao Xu waved his hand at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi watched Lao Xu leave with a few workers, saw that Aunt Lu and Uncle Chen were also packing up the kitchen cart, and walked over.

"Xiao Zhang, let's go." Aunt Lu greeted Zhang Chi with a smile when she saw Zhang Chi approaching.

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "After this period of time, I'm still a little bit reluctant for you to leave."

Old Chen said with a smile: "There is no permanent banquet in the world. After leaving today, there will be a time to meet again in the future. Anyway, we live not far away. This small house here is definitely not practical, so ah , we will definitely meet again in the future.”

"That's what you said. By the way, you two are leaving soon?"

"Of course we have to leave, otherwise the workers over there will have no food to eat. We have already prepared lunch for the rest of them, and they have to go in the evening..." Aunt Lu said.

Zhang Chi listened and gave his hand, loaded all their things into the kitchen car, and then watched the couple leave their ranch in the pickup truck.

Aunt Lu and his wife were sent away, and now there are only two workers left in the ranch. These are still cleaning up the house. Some construction waste in the house is sorted out, and then put into a pickup truck to take away.

After the project was over, Zhang Chi was left with a clean house.
