Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Liu's father made an agreement with someone and the three of them worked for him, earning 20 cents a day, including lunch.

They can take care of their own breakfast and dinner. If they don’t want to go back to the village, they can also live in the house, but there is nothing in the house now.

The three brothers all had their bags with them. As the weather was getting hotter, it was no big deal to sleep on the floor. They would not go back if they could. They had to pay two cents to enter the city every day.

You know, one penny can buy a mixed flour steamed bun.

"Boss, don't worry. We brought our own luggage and are ready to work anytime. We can move in today and do as much as we can. We won't charge you for today."

The three brothers thought this was a good job and didn't want to miss it. They didn't notice that people around them were staring at them, so they thought, if they didn't make the deal, would they come up and get the job?

That wouldn't work, so the second brother spoke up. The eldest was too honest and the third was cowardly, so he was the only one who was not afraid of embarrassment and said the wrong thing, and he bravely made a promise to Liu's father.

"You can go there today. There's no need to rush to work. You can take a look at the situation at home first and make a list of what you need. I'll start shopping. Also clean up the floor where you'll sleep. No one has lived in the house for a long time, so there's dust everywhere. Have a good rest at night and start working tomorrow. As long as you work hard, we'll see it, and we can look for you again if there's work in the future."

Father Liu is also a master at making promises. No one can predict what will happen in the future, but one thing is certain: their family will definitely buy a house and a farm in the future.

"Okay, Mr. Xie!" There was no reason for the three brothers to refuse when they heard it.

"Don't call me Boss, just call me Uncle Ren."

Father Liu thought of an abbreviation for himself, and he will use this name in his social interactions from now on. It is easy to remember and sounds nice, hahaha.

In any case, the person who will renovate the house has been decided.

A group of six people walked one after another on the street. There were people coming and going on the street, and they were just one of the crowd, not conspicuous.

After walking for half an hour, we finally arrived at the street where the house was located.

Father Liu said to Liu Caixia and the others, "You guys go back to the inn first. I'll take them back to count what they need, and you guys should find a way to buy it tomorrow morning. If you can't buy everything at once, you can buy some first, and then find another place to buy it later."

"Okay, Dad, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, just rest at home. Wei Zhong and I will go for the run."

Liu Caixia also understands that her old father is busy all day and wants him to take a break.

"Okay, I'll take a break tomorrow and then go to the house to check it out in the afternoon."

Before dawn the next day, Liu Caixia and Lin Weizhong went out with the list given to them by their father yesterday.

I ordered some bricks and tiles first. Since I didn't buy much, the retail price was a bit higher. But fortunately, they could be delivered immediately. I added twenty cents as a delivery fee and asked the shopkeeper to arrange for someone to deliver them to their house immediately.

I also ordered some lime powder, yellow mud, river sand, etc. to repair the walls and paint the walls. The kitchen also needs to be repaired as the stove is a bit broken.

The kitchen is very large, and Liu Caixia plans to separate a room to use as a bathroom. The drain will have the same outlet as the kitchen drain, and will be discharged into the ditch behind the house and let it flow into the river outside the city.

You can take a shower in the summer by building a bathing platform, placing a wooden tub on it, and paving the bottom with stone bricks. When it gets cold in the winter, you can also add a charcoal basin in the bathroom for heating.

Of course they also wanted to have a toilet, but there was really no other way so they could only use a toilet. This was also the main reason why Liu's father and Liu Caixia wanted to buy a farm to live in.

No matter how nice the house in the city is, it is really inconvenient to go to the toilet. It is not as convenient as on the farm. You can build whatever toilet you want.

There is no need to worry about where to put the waste in the pit, but it may not be enough. We have to feed a few pigs, and then add pig manure to it before it can be used in the fields on the farm.

This is why there were no toilets in the courtyard houses of Beijing at the beginning. A famous female star queued up to use the public toilet early in the morning and emptied the spittoon (which was placed in the house for peeing at night).

Later, as cities developed underground sewer systems, every household was able to build their own toilets.

Liu Caixia and Lin Weizhong went to two carpenter shops one after another and ordered some beds, washbasin racks, wardrobes, tables, chairs and benches, etc.

By the way, I also customized some furniture for the shop, including long chopping boards, wooden barrels, wooden basins, temporary tables, chairs and benches. I will also make some braised pork rice sets. Those who want to eat in the store can eat in, and those who want to take away can pack it up.

The shop is not big, so the tables and chairs are made in a long shape to accommodate as many people as possible.

Some ready-made furniture can be delivered to your door directly after it is ordered. If it is not ready-made, it needs to be made by hand, and then a layer of tung oil needs to be applied after it is made. It dries relatively quickly in this weather, but it still takes three to five days.

It was ten days later when all the furniture and belongings were moved in. The house was renovated, the furniture was moved in, the pots, pans, and bedding were laid out, and everyone moved in.

There are only two days left until the exam.

On the day of moving, Liu Caixia rented two carriages from a carriage and horse shop and transported all the things in the inn over in one trip. It would probably take a lot of time if they moved them by manpower. There weren't many things, but the inn was in the East City, not very close to the house.

Father Liu bought a lot of meat and vegetables, preparing to hold a small housewarming party at the new house, which was actually just a meal for them all to have together.

During the past ten days, apart from visiting the house during the day, Liu's father took care of Lin Keyun at the inn, and left the purchase of furniture, pots and pans to Liu Caixia and Lin Weizhong.

Except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, Luo Hong and several other reference people spent their time in the room reading books, writing articles, annotating and revising each other's articles, and exchanging some experiences and their own opinions.

It's not useless to cram at the last minute.

They wrote so many articles and also tried to write quite a few poems and songs.

If they see any of the topics during the exam, that would be their luck. Not only would they have ideas, but they would also have confidence after having written similar articles. The next article they write may not be very good, but at least it will not be worse than the previous one.

It's definitely getting better.

So, after the move, Father Liu said to Luo Hong and the others, "Okay, okay, everyone reads books and writes articles every day, so just relax today and prepare for the exam tomorrow. You can take the exam the day after tomorrow with a light load. One or two days won't make a difference."

"Okay, I think we can relax a bit too. Let's have some fun and relax. We can play some games or stretch our muscles. We can't let our bodies collapse."
