Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 94 Building a New House
Su Qiuyi felt that no matter how much she said, it would be better for her to feel and experience it for herself. It would be good for her to extend the childhood of her two younger sisters as much as she could.
They travel between Qinghe Town and Houshan Village every day to buy food and vegetables to take back.
Because the workers all eat at Su Xiaofang's house.
Su Qiuyi asked her aunt to help with cooking and sent some extra food over each time so that they could all have their fill.
Nowadays, although Houshan Village has disaster relief supplies, life is still hard. In the past 20 days, it has rained for five days, and it rained all day long.
Their houses were all run down, the weather was gradually turning colder, and it was unbearable when it rained.
Since their housing plot was at the west end of the village, Su Qiuyi decided to use blue bricks to build the walls. Blue bricks were rare, so it took a long time to build the foundation and plan the vegetable garden.
She also transported the cement that Bai Xiaojing had sent over, and the project began in full swing.
As more and more people came to the village, she arranged some people to build houses and some to build walls.
She built high walls of blue bricks on the ten acres of land.
Replacing the mud used for building the wall with cement makes it much stronger.
With enough people and materials, it only took five days to fence off ten acres.
The house has also been built.
The house designed by Su Qiuyi is not too special, it is just an antique farmhouse.
There is only one courtyard, but there are many houses. There are five rooms in the upper house, and then there are the living room, kitchen, and side rooms built around the upper house.
It formed the shape of a city surrounded on three sides.
The backyard is where the vegetable garden, stable, pigsty and hut are, all neatly arranged in a planned manner.
Finally, in less than a month, the yard and house were completed.
After completing the relief supplies issue, Su Laosan started making furniture.
First, he made the beds, wardrobes, dressing tables and couches for his three daughters himself, buying the wood and making them himself.
Then there are the sofas, coffee tables, dining tables, wine cabinets, cupboards and even chairs in the living room, all of which he did himself.
One month was not enough for him to finish the work.
What is worth mentioning here is that Wang Xiang asked Su Laosan to come and learn carpentry skills, and helped Su Laosan with a lot of trivial things.
Su Qiuyi bought out almost all the good wood in the lumber shop where Su Laosan used to work.
For this reason, the shopkeeper even came to thank Su Laosan for not forgetting to support him even though he had the ability.
Ever since seeing Xu Hui in the alley, Su Qiuyi felt uneasy about leaving his two younger sisters at home during the day.
Every day when he came to the village, he would bring two people with him, and then send them to his aunt's house to stay for a day, and then go back at night.
Every day Su Mingyue would bring the needlework she wanted to do and do it at her aunt's house.
It was the same on this day. Su Qiuyi was busy at the new house all day, planning the heating issues. When he got off work in the evening, he reconciled the accounts with Su Yunsheng. He started paying those who had paid their debts, and kept a record of those who had not yet paid their debts.
Ever since those villagers started coming to work, Su Yunsheng took the initiative to find her and asked her to help them keep accounts.
Although Su Qiuyi had no good feelings towards the Su family, after a few times, she could still trust her cousin Su Yunsheng.
Moreover, he didn't have to take any money from them to do the accounting, so I agreed to let him do the accounting.
The same twenty-five cents were given every day.
Well, knowledge is power! He should be paid.
Su Yunsheng never refused the wages she gave him, and this time he didn't say he didn't want the wages.
This made Su Qiuyi feel more at ease in using him.
After settling the accounts and paying the wages, it was already dark. Su Yunsheng accompanied Su Qiuyi and his daughter to the village to pick up their two younger sisters.
On the way, Su Yunsheng hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help but speak.
"Uncle San, if you have time tomorrow, you should go and see the people who are reclaiming the land in the back mountains!"
Su Laosan was sitting on the shaft of the cart, originally thinking about his carpentry work. When he heard what Su Yunsheng said, he tilted his head.
"What happened?"
Su Qiuyi, who was sitting in the carriage, heard something and said, "Dad, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, I'll go! It's a good opportunity to see how to plant the fruit trees next year!"
Su Yunsheng originally just wanted to give a reminder, but when he saw that his second sister understood, he stopped talking.
The carriage stopped at the door of Su Xiaofang's house. Su Yunsheng got off and walked back home.
As soon as I entered the Su family's yard, I heard a noise coming from the upper room.
Su Yunsheng frowned, showing no intention of getting involved, and was about to walk towards his room.
But just when he took two steps, he was stopped by his own Su Lianduo.
"Brother, you've come just in time. Come to grandma's room and take a look! Dad is about to fight with Second Uncle!"
Su Yunsheng nodded reluctantly and walked towards the upper room.
When he just went in, Su Dazhuang and Su Erzhuang were getting ready to fight, and the grandparents on the kang looked anxious.
It seemed that his mother and Second Aunt had had some quarrels before.
"What's going on? Dad, why are you fighting?"
With just one sentence, he stopped two people who were about to fight, and then started talking in a buzzing voice.
After hearing this, Su Yunsheng held his forehead with his hand. It turned out that it was because the money earned from work was not distributed fairly.
Their family had not yet repaid the ten taels of silver they owed, so they could not pay the workers.
But his wages were given to him directly by his second sister and were not included in the IOU to the Su family. His second uncle could not stand this and started to make a fuss.
"Yunsheng, do you think this makes sense? There are only three people in your first house working to pay off the debt, and there are four people in our second house! We all spend the money together! Why is that?"
"Uncle, you should ask grandpa and grandma about this matter! I can't make the decision! But if you keep making trouble, not only will my future be ruined, but even my third brother won't have a future!"
Everyone in the family knows that the most important thing for a career in politics is family tradition, which is why no one dares to go to the third brother to make trouble too much.
Although he could see the third son becoming successful, he could not go to his house to make trouble because he was afraid that his three sons would be affected.
Su Yunsheng finished speaking and walked out of the upper room. He was too lazy to care about this family. He could solve the problem however he wanted! If they still wanted him to be well, they knew what to do.
After all, he spent a lot of money on his studies, and his grandparents are good at accounting and would not want to let the money go to waste.
What happened in the old Su family has no effect on Su Qiuyi's family now.
The father and his two daughters had dinner at their aunt's house and then hurried to Qinghe Town.
After going back and forth for a while, they were afraid that it was too late and it would be dangerous. After all, Su Qiuyi knew that there were often bandits in this area.
An old man said that there was a bandit’s den on the mountain that stretched for hundreds of miles behind the back mountain.
Su Qiuyi didn’t know whether it was true or not, but she would rather believe it.
In fact, the Back Mountain is not a high mountain, covering an area of more than 500 acres. However, the Qinghe Mountain connected to the Back Mountain and bypassing Xujiagou is a real big mountain.
The villagers didn't dare to go anywhere. They only learned from the older generation that the mountain was called Qinghe Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles and was home to many ferocious wild beasts and bandit dens.
The old man was the most afraid and kept teaching his children not to go into the mountains because they would never come back.
However, although it is connected to the back mountain, the distance between the two is still thirty or forty miles, and people in the back mountain village usually have no chance to get close.
