Chapter 40 The house is built

A few people were chatting and gossiping, the village head saw Yu Xiaoxiao who had been found at a glance, and quickly stood up and waved for people to come over quickly.

When people came to him, he said: "Everyone is here, let's go to that field to have a look."

After a whole day of busy work, it is considered that it is almost done and ready to start work.

All day long, Yu Xiaoxiao followed the village chief and the others to run around, first to see the land where the house was built, and when they came back, they discussed how to build it, what requirements they had, and so on.

Only then did we communicate well, and then it was wages and so on, and it was a lot of bargaining, and it was finally settled.

Then Yu Xiaoxiao followed the village chief and the others to see the bricks and tiles, then bargained, and finally settled on a price that both parties were satisfied with, and then they could go back to their respective homes.

Of course, this does not include the village head and Yu Xiaoxiao. After returning to the village, the village head took Yu Xiaoxiao to his home to discuss how many people to invite, how much to eat for one meal a day, and then to buy vegetables and so on. After a whole day, Yu Xiaoxiao never wanted to touch these things anymore, it was really too difficult.

This is the result of Yu Xiaoxiao handing over most of the things to the village chief and Aunt Osmanthus. If she hadn't handed over this, Yu Xiaoxiao guessed that she would be useless.

When I got home at night, I ate the meal cooked by my eldest son, washed up briefly, and lay paralyzed on the bed, not wanting to move.

Physically not tired, but mentally tired.

Before going to bed at night, it is still the same as before, and the number of challenges is exhausted before falling asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, unwilling to get up, and the two sons had no choice but to bring food over for Yu Xiaoxiao to eat on the bed.

After eating, Yu Xiaoxiao continued to lie on the bed and spread out.

It wasn't until the third day that the situation got better, and Yu Xiaoxiao was willing to get up and go out.

Hmm... Who has to go out? Although the family has money, Yu Xiaoxiao has no intention of giving up the previous way of making money.

After going to the town today, Yu Xiaoxiao plans to go to Lei Carpenter’s house in some time. The money box mentioned before needs to be customized, as well as furniture and so on. But for the time being, Yu Xiaoxiao only plans to ask for some small furniture, big ones I have to wait until the house is built and go in to measure the size before making it, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be suitable.

Time flies quickly when I get busy, and a month and a half have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past one and a half months, Yu Xiaoxiao and Shen Ye's work basically stopped, only Shen Qi's cooperation in raising chickens and selling them to restaurants continued.

Shen Ye went to the side to build the house every day to watch, help and oversee the work, and Yu Xiaoxiao was busy with Aunt Osmanthus, so she was so busy every day, it was already because the village chief and Aunt Osmanthus did most of the work. Take it over, otherwise Yu Xiaoxiao would be insanely busy.

After one and a half months, the house was finally built as expected, and today is a good day for beam erection.

Yu Xiaoxiao followed Aunt Osmanthus, keeping her busy feet on the ground. Shen Ye, as the head of the family, had been socializing with the villagers all the time. Shen Qi also had to follow along. Fortunately, he was still young, so he was much less busy .

Finally, the Shangliang banquet was over, and many women in the village stayed to help clean up. After everything was cleaned up, Yu Xiaoxiao, as the host, wanted to distribute the leftover food to these helpers as a token of gratitude.

After finally seeing off the last person, Yu Xiaoxiao's face was almost frozen with laughter, and she touched her stomach that made a "cuckling" sound, planning to make some casual meals for the family to make ends meet.

Turning around and going back to the thatched cottage, the house has been built, but it’s not liveable yet, and the furniture hasn’t been brought back yet to be put up. Yu Xiaoxiao guessed that it would take at least a month to live in this new house. Then.

After going out of the gate, Yu Xiaoxiao locked the door and went back to the thatched cottage.

As soon as he opened the fence door, he saw Shen Qi sitting on the threshold waiting for someone.

Shen Qi also saw Yu Xiaoxiao at the same time, and rushed over happily: "Mom, you are finally done with your work, Xiao Qi is so hungry."

Yu Xiaoxiao caught Shen Qi's body, and said in an aggrieved voice, "Mother is also hungry."

Shen Qi heard his mother say that he was hungry, so he immediately dragged Yu Xiaoxiao to the shed where she cooks.

The eldest son, Shen Ye, was standing in front of the stove and stir frying with a spatula at the moment, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he didn't lift his head and said, "Xiaoqi, mother, please wait a little longer, this dish is ready, we will eat. "

"Uh-huh."

Yu Xiaoxiao and Shen Qi not only spoke in unison, but also moved very synchronously. They both nodded obediently, sat at the dining table, watched the food and rubbed their bellies.

When the family finally had a meal, Yu Xiaoxiao felt more and more wronged as she ate more and more. Thinking about when she was a child, no matter whether she was eating banquets at other people's homes or hosting banquets at her own home, she was always concerned about eating enough for herself.

It's not like now, I'm busy from morning to night without touching the ground, serving others to eat and drink, I don't have time to eat, and I'm hungry all day long.

During the meal break, Yu Xiaoxiao took a look at the two children and continued to eat hard. It turned out that only when she became a parent would she know that she would always think about the children when she was busy, just like at noon, when she was starving. This is also thinking about the fact that the two children are too busy to eat at such a young age, for fear that they will suffer from hunger.

Taking advantage of finally being a little free, I took steamed buns and made some dishes, and sent them over to let the two children eat something.

On the contrary, I didn't have time to eat a bite, so I ran back and continued to work.

Suddenly, she missed her grandparents and grandparents. As for those parents, they were not common when they were young, and even less often when they grew up. Yu Xiaoxiao didn't think much about them.

On the contrary, I miss my grandparents and grandparents who passed away very much. Fortunately, they passed away early, otherwise I am afraid that they will have to be sent by white-haired people to black-haired people.

Yu Xiaoxiao speeded up her eating movements. She was really tired after a busy day today. After eating, she went back to wash up and then went to bed quickly. She still has things to do tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Xiaoxiao got up and didn't even have time to cook, so she went to find Carpenter Lei, and took Carpenter Lei and his son to the new house to measure the size and order a suitable bed, wardrobe and dresser.

After everything was measured, Yu Xiaoxiao followed Carpenter Lei to his house and moved the small pieces of furniture that were ordered two months ago to the new house.

After being so busy for several days, the new house was almost tidied up, and Yu Xiaoxiao was free to relax.

I took out my account book and calculated the sum of the sum. This time I built the house, including wages and materials. It cost a total of 82 taels, and some scattered small money was not included in the calculation.

That's all, and the furniture cost is not included. If all the furniture in all the rooms are furnished, it will cost more than ninety taels.

This has long exceeded the original budget. If it weren't for the money from selling Xiong Xiazi, there would not be enough time to pay others.

One of the 20 silver tickets was spent, and 32 taels of broken silver and copper plates were spent.

When all the furniture in the main house is ready, there will be room warming wine, which will inevitably cost three or four taels of silver.

Opening his money box, looking at the scattered silver pieces, a hanging coin, and a shallow layer of copper plates inside, he felt that his pocket was dry.

Then I went to open the money box that held the property, and felt better. On the first floor, five silver ingots were neatly placed, and a pouch contained ten small gold ingots, with the house deed at the bottom.
