Chapter 42

"Excuse me, is this Captain Zhou's house?" Ye Tan asked outside the courtyard of Zhou Changzhu's house.

It was a woman in her 40s who heard the sound. She stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, and asked with a smile, "Are you here to see my old Zhou?"

This woman is Captain Zhou's daughter-in-law, her surname is Tong, and her name is Tong Meifang. She looked at Ye Tan's face and knew that there were a few new educated youths in the village yesterday, so she knew that this should be one of them. I'm afraid he came to talk to Zhou Changzhu about something.

Ye Tan smiled and nodded: "You are Aunt Zhou, right? My name is Ye Tan. I'm here to talk to Captain Zhou about something. In addition, I want to ask you something."

After hearing Ye Tan's words, Tong Meifang said "Oh": "You are Ye Tan, I heard from my old Zhou that you want to ask Carpenter Liu to build some cabinets, don't you?"

"Yes." Ye Tan nodded.

"Come in." Tong Meifang greeted Ye Tan with a smile.

After Ye Tan entered the courtyard, he handed the brown sugar and fruit candy to Tong Meifang: "Aunt Zhou, this is my first time here, so it's a little care."

"Hey, you kid, come here as soon as you come, what are you getting?" Tong Meifang hurriedly refused, but the smile on her face deepened. This girl knows how to behave, but the fruit candy is okay. Brown sugar is a bit more expensive, but it’s okay in towns nowadays, but it’s hard for villagers to buy brown sugar.

"Auntie, keep it, it's just a little thought." Ye Tan put the things in Tong Meifang's hands with a smile: "Besides, I have to work hard for my aunt to help me."

Tong Meifang saw that Ye Tan really wanted to give it to her, and then she thought about how her daughter-in-law was just pregnant. After all these years, she finally got pregnant, so she had to make up for it, so she took the opportunity and said, "Okay, that aunt is cheeky." Accept it, and in the future, if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask your aunt."

"Hey, thank you auntie."

At this moment, Zhou Changzhu came out of the room and asked, "Who's here?"

Ye Tan greeted with a smile: "Captain Zhou."

"Ye Tan." Zhou Changzhu remembered that Ye Tan said yesterday that he wanted to find Carpenter Liu to make a cabinet, so he said, "It's just right, let your aunt take you to Carpenter Liu's house in a while, and just tell Carpenter Liu what you want to fight." Can."

"Captain Zhou, I still want to talk to you about something." Ye Tan said hastily.

"What's the matter? Come in and talk about it." Zhou Changzhu had a good impression of Ye Tan. He was not a hypocritical person who took the initiative to live in the utility room, but he helped him solve a big problem. Therefore, where he could, he I don't mind helping Ye Tan more.

"It's like this. I saw that there is still an open space in the backyard of our educated youth camp. It's not that there is not enough space for female educated youths to live in. I thought, can I build a house with my own money? Don't worry, Captain Zhou. You help me say hello to find someone to build a house, and I will pay for the amount I have to pay." After entering the room and sitting down, Ye Tan shared his thoughts with Zhou Changzhu.

Meanwhile, a woman in her 20s poured a glass of water for Ye Tan, put it next to her, and smiled kindly at her. This is Zhou Changzhu's daughter-in-law Yu Juan, and her mother-in-law just told her that Ye Tan sent them home. I bought two or three taels of brown sugar, just enough to supplement the nutrition for the child in her belly.

Ye Tan also hurriedly responded with a smile, and said, "Thank you sister-in-law."

After hearing Ye Tan's words, Zhou Changzhu immediately understood Ye Tan's meaning: "Do you want to live by yourself?"

Ye Tan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Well, is it okay?"

"It's not impossible." Zhou Changzhu thought for a while. Although there was no such precedent in the village before, it was still possible. After all, the houses for the female educated youths were not enough to live in. A new house had to be built. To build a house requires labor, and the village has to give labor to the workers. To put it bluntly, the village has to spend money to build the house.

But if Ye Tan paid to build the house himself, not to mention that the village did not need to pay, and those who built the house could get cash directly, it would be cheaper for both parties.

But I should make it clear in advance, I still have to make it clear: "However, Ye Tan, you also know that even though you paid for the house, the foundation still belongs to the village. You can live in the house, but the house cannot belong to you. In the future, the house will be returned to the village. As for the money you paid to build the house, it can only be counted as the cost of the foundation for the village to use temporarily. Look, can you accept this?"

"Yes." Ye Tan didn't expect to get back the money to build the house, she just wanted an independent space, after all, her secrets are too big, if someone finds out, I'm afraid there will be big trouble: " However, Captain Zhou, since I paid to build the house, I hope that during the time I live in that house, I have the right to use the house independently, and the village can no longer arrange other people to live in my house, is that okay?"

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Changzhu is not an inkblot, so he agreed directly. After all, he paid for the house, and if he stuffed people into his house without his consent, what's the matter?Zhou Changzhu couldn't do such a cheeky thing.

Seeing that Zhou Changzhu agreed, Ye Tan's mood also jumped up, and he hurriedly said: "Captain Zhou, then please help me get someone to build a house. In addition, I also want to build a kitchen by myself, and I also want to cook by myself .”

"Yes." Zhou Changzhu nodded, even if Ye Tan didn't say anything, he wanted to build a kitchen together. The open space in the back yard is not close to the kitchen in the front yard. If there is no fire pit in winter, this place can freeze to death: " See if there is anything else you want, if there is no problem, I will arrange people to go to the brick kiln tomorrow to pull bricks, and then organize people to build a house, and I will tell you how much it will be at that time."

"No problem." Ye Tan thought for a while, and then said, "Captain Zhou, just tell me how much money you need in total."

Zhou Changzhu smiled: "Okay."

Seeing that Ye Tan and Zhou Changzhu had agreed on something, Tong Meifang smiled and said to Ye Tan: "Then let's go to Liu Carpenter's house while it's still light."

"Okay." Ye Tan got up and said goodbye to Zhou Changzhu, and followed Tong Meifang to Liu Carpenter's house.

On the way to Carpenter Liu's house, Tong Meifang touched Ye Tan's hair, and said pitifully, "You are too thin. Fortunately, although we are in a village, we are still young. Slowly grow up." can be brought back.”

Because of the ten years of abuse, the original owner is not only short, yellow and thin, but also has dry and dull hair.

Ye Tan thought, he doesn't look like a rich man now, and he has to build a house and start a fire by himself. It is inevitable that no one will suspect, or even come up with other ideas, so he succinctly described the original owner's I talked to Tong Meifang about the situation, and finally said: "Fortunately, the leaders in the factory gave me justice. Although I still have to go to the countryside, they also helped me get some compensation."
