Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 76 Rebuilding the Family Yard
Chen Yang explained his intention to Yang Chunsheng.

On the one hand, ask what kind of house to build.On the other hand, whether you can buy cement and steel bars.

Yang Chunsheng told Chen Yang that since it was a new house, of course it had to be a good one, that is, to use cement and steel bars.

The county supply and marketing cooperative supplies cement and steel bars.Originally, it was not for private supply, but now Yang Chunsheng decided to open a back door for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was overjoyed and quickly expressed his thanks to Yang Chunsheng.

But Chen Yang still has to calculate the cost. He has a budget for building a house, and he can't exceed this budget.

How much money he has and how important he is, because it is impossible for someone to lend him money.

Three tons of cement and two tons of steel bars, even if they were cheap, Chen Yang could afford it.

Together with his grandfather, Chen Yang borrowed two boats from the team and spent a day transporting the cement and steel bars from the county town to his home.

The main room here is vacated, and the cement and steel bars are stored in the main room, so no one is afraid of being missed.

The next day, Chen Yang and his grandfather went to Hengfeng Street again.

There is a sand field and a gravel field on Hengfeng Street, which are places that sell sand and gravel. I bought a boat of sand and a boat of gravel.

The next day, Chen Yang and his grandfather went to the brick cellar more than ten miles away by boat and bought more than 2 yellow bricks.

Another day, the grandfather and grandson went to Wenqiao Street in Wenqiao Town and bought a boatload of timber.

There are dozens of catties of nails.

As for the eaves and tiles used for the roof, they will not go to the streets and tile kilns to buy until the roof is formed.

The cost of using all cement is too high, and the cement bought now is not enough.Grandpa suggested to buy some clam ash and mix it with cement.

After several days of hard work, the main materials needed for building the house were finally prepared.

The quantity of various materials is calculated by grandpa, and the quality is also checked by grandpa.

The carpenter who participated in the construction of the house was selected by the grandfather himself. He was the apprentice of the grandfather and the master of the second brother Chen Bing.

The mason is also a friend of grandpa.

Chen Yang's new house does not use stone, so there is no need for a mason.

There was only one thing that gave Chen Yang a little headache, and that was the small workers needed to build the house.

Rural people repair and build houses, usually relatives and friends do small labor, they come to help, take care of food regardless of wages.

But Chen Yang was self-aware. He wanted to hire ten small laborers in the village, and he was worried that he would not be able to hire half of them.

Even if a few children can come, their parents may not necessarily agree.

Don't ask for help in everything, try not to ask for help, this is Chen Yang's plan.

Just spend money to hire people.

The current masters, carpenters and masons, except for the food, are paid two yuan a day.

The master's apprentice is also in charge of food, and his wages are one yuan a day.

Chen Yang made an appointment with the mason, and the mason would recruit the small workers, and the wages would be settled every day as many tricks were used.

In addition to the food management, the wages of the small workers are fifty cents a day.

The mason is Du Dagui, in his early forties, and a resident of Hengfeng Commune.He is well-known in Chen Cai and Hengfeng area, and his father and Chen Yang's grandfather are also friends.

Grandpa made an appointment with Du Dagui. In addition to taking three apprentices, he would find four more small workers.

As for the ruins and rubbish left by the old house, Chen Yang and his grandfather have been cleaning them up, and now they are almost done.

That night, Chen Yang was going to sleep on the boat when he found a person standing vaguely on the site of the old house opposite the dry ditch.

Chen Yang hurried to the side of the ditch and took a closer look, it turned out to be grandpa.

Grandpa stood there, dancing and chanting words.

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, but then he understood and smiled softly.

Grandpa is really a character, he is observing the Feng Shui of the new house.
