At present, there are still a few houses in the village that can use bricks and tiles to build houses. Most of them are mud brick houses. The yellow mud on the mountain is built into brick houses by various methods. The roof is divided into tiles according to different conditions. , two kinds of straw.
This kind of house is more likely to get wet and leak when it is slanting wind and rain, and needs to be repaired every year. The brick house is different. Once it is built, there is no need to worry about it for more than ten or decades.
Now is the slack time for farming, but farmers, where there is a real slack time for farming, collectively earn work points in the morning, some go to the field in the afternoon, and some serve their own private plots. There is always something to do.
Those who help, some come to help after finishing the farm work in the afternoon, and some go to work after lunch.
Su Qianming would bring Su Zhong over to build a house with Zhang Quan and Zhang Gen.
Sun Qiang paid some favors to order 5,000 bricks from the brick factory. In addition, the brick factory also provided a pile of old bricks, which were used by others before.
Five thousand bricks, the four rooms and one living room are not enough, and with these old blue bricks, it will be almost enough.
At this time, cement was still a rare commodity, and Sun Qiang spent a lot of effort to get a little out from other places.
Su Hui watched the house being built little by little, and she felt a little bit more relaxed. It was enough for a family of five to squeeze into one room. In addition, during this time, because she was new here, she did not have to do anything except necessary. She won't say unnecessary things, and she won't do unnecessary things. She recalls Yuanyuan's life little by little, and finally has a good grasp. If someone asks something, she won't have to search Yuanyuan's memory temporarily .
It would be fine if her consciousness was not damaged. How difficult would it be to completely absorb the memory of a mortal with her foundation-building stage consciousness
It's a pity that she is injured now and has nothing on her body. It is a bit difficult for her to maintain the status quo.
She wants to enter the mustard space to heal her wounds with spiritual power, but it is difficult, because there are people all around, it is not realistic at all, if she has her own house, then she will have an independent space.
Zhang Gen gave birth to three sons, his father did not have as many sons as him, and there was only one younger brother under him, but his younger brother had more sons than Zhang Gen's son, with 4 sons.
And because this uncle gave birth to a son before and a daughter later, all his children are already married.
The two of them are the closest relatives in the village. Their family wanted to build a house, so they naturally came to help as uncles and cousins. In addition, Zhang Ping's childhood, their good neighbor Youshe, etc., add up to More than 10 people in their prime of life work very fast.
At this time, when building a house, there is no need to pay attention to piling or anything else. Just make the bottom, and then pile up the bricks like building blocks.
Su Hui's mother fell ill when she gave birth to them. She should not be too excited. Once she was excited, she would get sick easily. She fell ill just after she knew the bad news that her daughter became a widow. It's so good, so she didn't show up, but her natal sister-in-law came to help and helped cook together.
There is no money for them to come to help, just take care of a dinner, this dinner does not require big fish and meat, but it is necessary to fill the stomach.
Zhang Gen spoke, took out enough grain, mixed in some fine grains from time to time, and added a few drops of oil when cooking.
That's a passable meal.
The money was in Su Hui's hands. She wanted to buy meat to treat her, so she entrusted someone to buy it for them, but she never got it.
Yes, it's just such a scam, rich and meaty tickets, useless, not early enough, there is nothing left, let alone pick and choose.
The only thing she spends money on, even if Sun Qiang gives her a note every few days, with the number and amount of bricks and tiles written on it, she will pay according to the note.
During the construction of the house, their family was very busy. They went to class in the morning and cooked together when they came back. Then they went to the house to help out, and they cooked another meal for dinner. Zhang Gui was stared at by Zhang Gen. He couldn’t find a chance to be lazy. .
Several children are also doing what they can. The eldest Zhang Baoguo is 10 years old. He is in the first grade. The younger sister and younger brother were digging wild vegetables and gathering firewood in the mountains together.
Zhang Quan and Zhao Laidi have three children, the first is a son, 11 years old, one year older than Zhang Baoguo, the next two are girls, one is 7 years old, the other is 5 years old, the same age as Zhang Weiguo and the twins.
All but the youngest 5-year-old twins and 5-year-old work.
Go up the mountain to hunt wild vegetables, serve the chickens and pigs at home, clean up, do laundry, etc.
Even children who don't have to go up the mountain are not free to play, they are responsible for housekeeping.
In this era, children spent their childhood working, otherwise they would be hungry.
Su Qianming and Su Zhong worked very hard. They came here every morning to fill their stomachs after finishing their homework. They were the last ones to leave at night. How could Zhang Gen be lazier than his in-laws? He took his son and worked hard.
The tired Zhang Quan lost a pound, and Li Manfen lost his temper after being beaten at home.
This house can be done slowly, this person doesn't need to take a breather!
Zhang Gen slapped the table with his palm, and it was loud and quiet.
"Didn't I notice that I was lazy at work in the morning? All I ate was dry food and fine grains. Isn't that enough?"
It's fine if Li Manfen doesn't say anything, but when he says it, his heart hurts.
The people who come to help the workers are invited to eat, and the food is all theirs!
In less than a month, the house was built, and she helped her to solidify the land around the front and back yards. As for the private plot, it was just behind the house, and it was a small slope. One advantage is that it is close.
Su Hui also proposed to dig a well.
There are no lakes, ponds, or streams around here. If she wants to drink water, she has to fetch water from Zhang Chengye in front, which is not far away. But she is a weak woman, and her children are still young, so how can she spend so much time every day? Back and forth to fetch water.
Because of these old blue bricks, they saved a lot of money. When they heard the idea of digging a well, they thought it was a bit extravagant, but they didn't say anything. While everyone was still there, they found a well digger and dug the well neatly. Yes, after a dozen, I found that this place is quite rich in water resources, and the water came out without hitting too deep.
Su Hui looked at the completed house, the newly dug well, and at the little radish heads with bright eyes, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Yuanshen undoubtedly loves her children. She was unhappy with her parents-in-law at that home, and she wanted to separate and become independent, but her husband is not around. If she moves out alone, she needs to worry about safety, and her brother-in-law She doesn't have a family either, and if she separates out, she will be gossiped about by others. Now that she has a house and is independent, the next step is to raise her children, honor her parents' kindness in nurturing, and finish what she wants to do. If you share cause and effect, you can settle the two.
Looking at the house, Zhang Gen was also very satisfied, and greeted everyone: "The work is finished today, and we will eat meat later, everyone, you are welcome."
