Sturdy and pretty daughter-in-law Shanlihan

Chapter 718 The New House Has Been Built

After leaving the courtyard gate, I turned a corner. I thought the road would be difficult and full of potholes, but it turned out to be very smooth. It was obviously repaired on purpose.

He thought of a few evenings ago, when the second brother and the third brother both finished work, they went out with a hoe on their shoulders, without saying anything.

He didn't ask any more questions.

Only now did I know that the two of them went to repair the road for the convenience of his wheelchair.

A ray of emotion brewed in the chest.

Thinking that his daughter-in-law only wanted him, he was overwhelmed by a feeling of joy in his heart and couldn't breathe.

When he turned the wheelchair in one hand and appeared on the open space of the building with a bucket in the other, several workers greeted him, especially the second and third brothers looked at him with pity, and said that he was not necessary to come.

Their concern warmed his heart.

Afterwards, every day, it was Xiao Qinghe who delivered water, and when it was time for lunch, he was the one who called them in a wheelchair.

Every night, the three brothers of the Xiao family practiced calligraphy with Su Qingyue earnestly.

Almost two months later, Xiao's house was completed.

The walls of the adobe houses are plastered with mud mixed with lime, so the walls are not the yellowish-yellow mud color of other houses, but marl gray.

The roof is covered with ordinary tiles.

The gray tiles and gray walls are not only the most upscale in the whole Wushan Village, but they are also one of the best.

Most of the village has yellow adobe walls, and no one is willing to spend money to plaster the walls. Even the majority of the houses have thatched roofs, and not many can afford tiles.

That evening, Xiao Yuchuan moved a table in the yard, and put a lot of scattered silver and copper plates piled high on the table.

Thirteen workers lined up at the table, and Xiao Yuchuan paid everyone their wages.

The workers happily took their wages and left one after another.

Finally, when it was Zhang You's turn to collect his wages, he counted the number and said, "That's not right."

Xiao Yuchuan asked with a smile, "Why not?"

Zhang Youlai made the calculations, "I gave you two hundred wen more."

Originally, Zhang Youlai’s salary was agreed to be [-] renminbi higher than the total number of other workers, because he had worked for a long time, and he introduced tiles, earthen bricks, and plaster for plastering walls. When I came across some things I didn’t understand, he was the one who gave me pointers. He was like a foreman, so the wages were naturally higher.

"My daughter-in-law said that Master Zhang works hard, and the price of the bricks and tiles I recommend to buy is fair, which is slightly lower than the market price. It should be based on the agreed three hundred yuan plus two hundred yuan." Xiao Yuchuan explained.

Su Qingyue said from the side, "If the Xiao family hadn't used up all the silver taels to build the house this time, I originally wanted to give Master Zhang an extra tael of silver."

Zhang Youlai was very moved when he heard this, "My boss has accepted it. You are so familiar with my sister, I am very lucky to be able to take on this job, so I don't need to pay more."

"Master Zhang, just take it if you don't think it's too little, and show some kindness." Xiao Yushan also persuaded.

Zhang Youlai heard it, so he didn't refuse anymore, "Thank you."

Zhang Youlai is the younger brother of Aunt Zhang and the uncle of Zhang Ping'an.Others left first after receiving their wages, while Zhang Ping'an waited on the sidelines. Seeing this, he also deeply felt that the Xiao family was very good at life.

The two went straight to find out what they might need in the future.

After sending away all the workers, there were only four members of the Xiao family left in the courtyard of the Xiao family.

There were still ten copper coins left on the table, which was all the money Xiao Jiaming had on his face.
