The first peasant girl of splendid elegance

Chapter 58 Building a house. (7)
Looking at the distressed eyes of the old lady, Jun Yao felt a little pain in her tangled stomach, and felt deeply helpless for the people of this era. In modern times, the food wasted every year is estimated to be able to block the Yellow River, but eating a white flour steamed bun here, It's just a good hope for the new year.

"As long as you can eat enough, it doesn't matter how many catties, it's all to fill our stomachs, isn't it? Grandma, don't feel sorry for yourself. If you don't eat any more, the little ones will eat up." Raising his hand, I picked up a chopstick of cabbage meat and chicken for the old lady, urging her to eat quickly.

Jun Yao's appetite is very small, usually a bowl of porridge in the morning is enough.

After eating, she opened the curtain and went out, and saw a few men outside who were eating in full swing, even dripping with sweat, took off their clothes, waved their arms, and gorged themselves.

"Eat slowly, and I'll add more for you." Jun Yao couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. He couldn't compliment their eating, so he went up to pick up the plate and went to the kitchen to refill them, some added a few steamed buns, "Grandpa , is it delicious?"

"Well, she's much better than your grandma, she's indeed my granddaughter." The old man said in a loud voice.

Inside, the old lady's voice came out, "Damn old man, I hate my cooking. You have been eating for decades, and you haven't starved to death."

When Mr. Yang heard this, he stopped talking immediately. He picked up the steamed bun and opened his mouth to bite off a quarter of it. He blinked at Junxie and buried himself in eating again.

After a meal, the whole family ate heartily. After everything was packed, and before the whole family sat down to have a sip of tea, someone outside said, "Is Mrs. Jun at home?"

Jun Yao hurriedly ran out, and saw a middle-aged man in a blue gown, leading a dozen strong men, standing in front of the door.

"I am."

"Hehe, Mrs. Jun, my surname is Chen, and I am the head bricklayer in the town." Chen Erlen said with a smile.

Jun Yao knew it at a glance, so she hurriedly asked Jun Zhengmin to move the table out, put the tables and chairs in the shed that was set up yesterday, let everyone sit down and rest, and poured a bowl of hot water for everyone to warm up .

"Miss Jun, I don't know what requirements you have for the house? I'm not afraid that Madam Jun will digest it. I have traveled all over the world for more than ten years, and I have also built houses for others for more than ten years. As long as it is what Madam Jun said, I can usually build it. " Chen Erleng gulped down the warm water, it was so sweet, it was obvious that there was sugar in it.

"Uncle Chen, it's like this, I just want a yard with two entrances, bring an east and west wing, and make the foundation circle bigger for me, and I want to set aside a piece of land at the back for a chicken coop and a pigpen , In addition, I need Dilong to get me a separate shower room, and set up the drainage area to prevent the water outlet from being too cold in winter... Uncle Chen, this is the picture I drew, you can follow it The above general meaning, combined with your experience, can you build me a big brick house with blue bricks?" He said and handed the blueprints in his hand to Chen Erleng.

Chen Erleng took it and looked at it slowly, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and finally he looked at Junyu with admiration, and said, "Miss Jun, you came up with this?"

"Well, I figured it out because I couldn't sleep at night. I don't know if it's feasible if Uncle Chen looks at it?" She asked.

"Okay, why not, it's really good." Chen Erlen patted his thigh and said excitedly: "This is to repair the shower in the room, and you can also put the toilet in the room. You only need to dig a cesspit at the back. It's so convenient, Mrs. Jun is really smart."

"In any case, I'm just talking on paper. Whether it's feasible or not depends on Uncle Chen's intentions. Since Uncle Chen is feasible, just follow the drawings. I don't know if 3000 yuan of blue bricks is enough. Pave a path with blue bricks to avoid slippery roads in rainy and snowy days."

"Three thousand is enough. If you use it properly, I will build you a chicken coop and a pigsty. If the green bricks are not enough, I will make you one with wood. It will be absolutely strong." Chen Erlen said.

"Hey, I'm so kind, I'd like to thank Uncle Chen. I'll make a good start-of-work meal at noon. Then I'll entrust you with my house, Uncle Chen."

Chen Erlen laughed loudly after hearing this, and patted his chest to promise: "That's okay, as long as you can eat enough, I promise to give Mrs. Jun ten and a half months to complete the work."

Junyi is at the entrance of the village, with nearly five acres of land. These lands are all wasteland that Yang Huai'an came to reclaim for Junyi a few years ago. After all, the land near the river is full of sand and loose, so it is not suitable for growing crops. I can grow some vegetables and so on, so Junyi set aside an acre of land in his own land to build a new house. In the future, this thatched cottage can be used as a warehouse or something.

That morning, under the leadership of Chen Erleng, more than a dozen skilled masons started working. Many people in the village came to watch. Seeing the neatly piled blue bricks and tiles, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The most contemptible gentleman has started to build a house, it's really an impermanent world.

This morning, several daughter-in-laws also came to Junxie's family, including Qian's, Lin's, Ping'an's daughter-in-law Ma, and Lizheng's granddaughter Jun Qinghe.

When the other people came, Jun Yao was fine, but when she saw that Qian Shi, she turned black.

"Hey, baby, look at you, building a new house is such an important matter, and you don't even tell your family members, what a blessing." With a loud voice, Qian looked around in the small courtyard, thinking You can see what flowers are coming.

Jun Yao didn't have a good face, she looked at Qian with cold eyes, "Aunt Jun, my family is here, what's the matter with you?"

When Qian met Jun Yao's eyes, she felt a little scared, so her eyes calmed down and stopped wandering, and she smiled awkwardly at Jun Yao: "What is this for? Auntie is here to help you, aren't you welcome?"

"It's not very welcome. It's because of your character that people can't welcome you. We don't bother you when we have enough people in our family. Please go back. Don't be so blatant about things like the toothbrush ceremony." Said He greeted Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Ma, and Jun Qinghe to enter the house, leaving Mrs. Qian alone in the wind outside.

Being treated like this, Qian was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. She just watched busy people coming and going in front of her eyes, but no one came to say a word to her, which made her leave. , staying is not the case, and finally had to spit heavily, turned and left.

The kitchen wasn't that big at all, and now that there were three more people, it seemed a bit crowded, but fortunately, all of them were good hands in the kitchen, and they knew what to do when they looked at the ingredients in front of them.

"Second Aunt, did the old man ask you to come?" Jun Yao approached Lin and asked in a pretty voice.

"Well, let me come alone. My sister-in-law saw me at the door and came with me." The meaning in the words was self-evident.

Jun Yao pursed her lips and sneered in a low voice: "Who has such a daughter-in-law at the booth, it really smokes from the ancestral grave."
