The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 812 Official Start of Construction

Bai Meixi returned home with a full load this time. When she placed the scattered bills in front of Cheng Haiyi, Cheng Haiyi couldn't believe that they were lent by his stingy mother-in-law.

"Why is my mother-in-law willing to borrow so much money?" Cheng Haiyi knew that He Shaoying's income was meager, and so much money was probably all her private money. He felt moved in his heart, and even felt that he had misunderstood He Shaoying before, and would be more likely to do so in the future. You have to be filial to her.

"My mother also borrowed it after hearing that she would get two cents of profit. She usually doesn't put the money in the bank, and it would not produce value if she left it at home." Bai Meixi did not dare to tell Cheng Haiyi that the money was borrowed with three cents of profit. Yes, the money they borrowed has put a lot of pressure on Cheng Haiyi. According to his salary, even if he doesn't have food or drink, he will have to pay back three or four years, not to mention repaying the high interest fees.

"Hai Yi, from now on, we must keep a clear record of how much money we spent and what we bought. If anyone suspects anything again, we also have an account book for people to check."

Bai Meixi's account book is very detailed. Although the 2200 yuan that Cheng Haiqiang wants to pay is all for materials, each amount of money is required to buy something. It requires not only a number, but also a receipt of payment. In this way It will be easier to check the accounts later.She was afraid that Cheng Haiyi would be stigmatized for taking bribes, so she did everything with extreme caution.

She also made a repayment plan. The money from Cheng Haiwen must be repaid first, so that his colleagues at the newspaper could not resent him, and the money from the village could not be owed for too long. On the contrary, if there was no emergency, it would be Cheng Haiyi's colleagues. , you can pay it back later, lest everyone think that Cheng Haiyi made money too fast and arouse unnecessary suspicion.

"Obviously we spent our own money to build the house, but it seems like we are doing a project for the unit. We have to wait for others to check the accounts at any time." Cheng Haiyi sighed lightly, feeling a little tired. Although he can keep accounts when building a house in rural areas, But they are all rough calculations, and they are not as detailed as Bai Meixi's.

"It's different now that you are the deputy director. No matter what you say or do, you will be magnified infinitely. You must always pay attention to your words and deeds."

Bai Meixi has reached the point of being stubborn and rigid in this matter. She even goes to the construction site every day to check the progress. If she finds that the project is slow, she will immediately go to Cheng Haiwu to check and find out the problem.

The people in the construction team were working hard, but they were always busy chatting about various households, which gave Bai Meixi a headache.

She didn't want to publicize the building of her own house too much, but she was sure that such a special house would probably become a tourist attraction in the future.

"Haiwu, the proportions here are wrong. If the stairs are to be placed in this position in the future, they must be wider. There needs to be room for the stairwell. I want to make a cabinet here as a storage space. And here, The windows need to be bigger.”

The design of this house is very modern, so Bai Meixi's requirements are also very high. Not only is it required to make the best use of everything, but it is also required to arrange the most reasonable circulation lines so that everyone living in it can achieve what they want in the shortest time. place.

Cheng Haiwu obeyed Bai Meixi's words. He immediately asked someone to change the size and measured the location of the stairwell. According to Bai Meixi's design, a large wardrobe can be made here, which can not only accommodate all the clothes of the family, but also the bedding. All can be let go.There is also a stove in the living room. In the future, Western food can be cooked in the living room. If you need to cook Chinese food and other ingredients with a lot of fumes, you can go to the Chinese stove. This can save a lot of time.In the living room, Bai Meixi also reserved a bar counter. The rest of the cabinets and wall cabinets are matching, and the effect will be good after being made.

Cheng Haiwu's senior brother is good at almost everything. Not only can he build houses, but he is also good at making furniture. After hearing about Bai Meixi's design, he glanced at Cheng Haiwu hesitantly and hesitated several times.

"Junior brother, who is this sister-in-law of yours? This request is too pretentious. She is a bit like a capitalist's eldest lady. She is both a bar counter and a cupboard. I have never heard of it." Cheng Haiwu's senior brother lowered his voice and said. Due to his dissatisfaction with Bai Meixi, he has also done many large projects and built houses for hundreds of families, but there has never been a family that demands uniqueness in every detail like Bai Meixi.

Although he had made those cabinets in the kitchen, most of them were copied styles and made of discarded wood. He just made a random cabinet to put the dishes and chopsticks. Now, in order to completely match the size of the room, he had to make a side The artistic conception of cooking and drinking coffee at the same time is really difficult.

Cheng Haiwu's senior brother couldn't help but worry about Bai Meixi's composition. Now was the time to tighten his grip. If someone with problematic composition built such a luxurious house, their entire engineering team would be implicated.

"My sister-in-law's family is really poor peasants. If she hadn't married my brother, she would still be working in the mines. Don't worry, she is a member of the military. She has a good background no matter how you calculate it."

Cheng Haiwu reassured his senior brother that there was absolutely no problem with Bai Meixi's composition. He Shaoying was an orphan and a widower with several children. Many people knew about this and they had helped her a lot in the past.The Bai family was a well-known poor family in the neighborhood, but He Shaoying had a fierce personality. Sometimes others who wanted to take pity on the children were suppressed by her and did not dare to approach.

"Fortunately, my sister-in-law escaped from that devil's cave, otherwise I always feel that her life might not be able to afford food or drink, and her life would be extremely miserable." Cheng Haiwu had heard about some of He Shaoying's deeds, and felt that Bai Meixi could It is a blessing to be alive till now.

"Then she is really the lady's maid." Cheng Haiwu's senior brother joked a few words and started to build the cabinets according to Cheng Haiwu's requirements. It is not easy to build the second floor. Bai Meixi and the workers are all laymen, but You are doing things based on your own intuition.

Cheng Haiwu's senior brother had to work up 120% of his energy, repeatedly compared the drawings, and finally made a rough idea of ​​the location of the first floor. This floor will soon be capped.

"Has it been waterproofed?" Bai Meixi looked around the house and found a lot of bricks wrapped in yellow mud. These bricks are the basis for building houses in rural areas, but Bai Meixi was worried that her house would be damaged because of these bricks. And leakage of wind and rain.

"This floor is not the top floor. Even if it is not waterproof, there will be no water seeping in." Cheng Haiwu's senior brother asked Bai Meixi to be calm. According to the design, this house must be built with at least two and a half floors. If rainwater really leaks from the outside, this house may be flooded with water.
