Regarding the house, the team leader chose to speak frankly.

"We can approve the land for you, even for free, but you only have the right to use the house, not the ownership. When you return home, the house will belong to the brigade."

Wen Ran has money, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

Hearing this, he deliberately frowned and thought for a while, "How much does it cost to build a house?"

“When the young men in our team build houses, they only need to pay for materials and manpower, and then they can come with a call. But in your place, you have to pay for manpower.

Including meals and so on. When other people build houses, meals are provided, but you can’t provide them, so it’s another expense.”

"What about all of them?"

“Three small adobe houses cost only about 30 yuan. If you want to use tiles as the roof, you can add another 10 yuan.

But we still have to factor in labor and food expenses. I estimate it'll be around 10 to 20 yuan."

Wen Ran immediately made the decision, "Uncle, we don't know anything, so we'll have to trouble you to take care of this matter for us. I'll take out 80 first, and I'll make up for it if it's not enough."

Bao Wenxuan raised her hand and said, "Count me in, I'll build a house too."

She was really afraid of these people.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day, and it happened that the rain stopped at this time.

Mother Xiao slapped her thigh and said, "Now that we have nothing to do, let's go look at the place!"

"It's done!"

After running for an entire afternoon, Wen Ran's legs were almost thin.

Finally, the rain got heavier and the captain had no choice but to take shelter from the rain at Xiao's house.

Looking at the continuous rain outside, the captain sipped his warm tea and said, "Tell me, what are your thoughts? Which place have you chosen?"

"I've chosen the place at the foot of the mountain," Bao Wenxuan really suffered a great loss when it came to getting along with others. She picked the most secluded place right away.

The captain's expression was indescribable. "Are you sure? Even though there's no one at the foot of the mountain, it's still dangerous."

Petty thieves who want to steal something without alerting others will choose sparsely populated areas to strike.

At that time, if you are unlucky enough to be discovered, you can run away immediately without being discovered.

"I am sure."

The captain emphasized, with a serious look on his face, "Kids, uncle has no bad intentions, but you choose the place, so I must explain it clearly to you.

There's no one to bother you at the foot of the mountain, but in the winter, when wild boars and bears come down the mountain to look for food and spoil things, that's where they go first."

Ah!

It can still be like this.

Bao Wenxuan was a little hesitant. She was afraid of people, but she was even more afraid of blind bears!

Just when the captain thought Bao Wenxuan had given up the idea, Wen Ran, who had been silent all this time, said slowly, "Uncle, when we build the wall, we have to use more solid materials.

What if a blind bear breaks it with one scratch..."

She raised her eyebrows and said, "If this gets out, it won't sound good, right?"

Bao Wenxuan's eyes lit up, and her gaze was shining as she looked at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran thought confidently, see, Bao Wenxuan has been impressed by his own intelligence, hahahaha.

The captain was very tired and asked, "Can't we change places?"

"No! Right there, we like it."

……

The team leader couldn't persuade them, so he took the two of them to measure the land early the next morning.

There are only a few scattered households at the foot of the mountain.

Wen Ran adhered to the attitude of keeping his distance and chose a neutral place, which was a bit far away from the stream.

"Here?"

"OK."

Wen Ran looked at the overlapping mountains not far away, and his gaze became distant.

“It’s inconvenient to use water.”

So, let’s go back and live here.

"Dig a well."

Captain: “…”

Damn, these kids have money, they are really courageous!

"Row!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, the team leader simply kept silent and chatted with the two honest men, apparently discussing the house.

Bao Wenxuan was feeling guilty at first, but now that she saw Wen Ran also living here, she suddenly felt relieved.

"Um," a man came over from a distance, an awkward smile on his honest face, "are you going to build a house?"

Wen Ran was alert, "Yes."

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. My family is the carpenter here. If you need to make tables, chairs, benches and other things, you can come to us."

"Yes," Xiao's mother nodded, "Their cooking skills are quite good, and we even have customers from other teams coming to our house!"

Speaking of this, the man was very proud, "Our family's craftsmanship is well-known far and wide."

"Sure! Can we go and have a look?"

"of course."

After another round of walking, Wen Ran and Bao Wenxuan decided on the furniture. As for the other things, there was no need to rush. After all, life passed slowly.

As time goes by, you just add things one by one.

The house was already under construction, but what worried Wen Ran was not this, but having to go to the fields to work.

Hey~

How can we reasonably avoid labor?

Sitting under the ginkgo tree of the Silly Roe Deer Brigade, Wen Ran sighed.

He was riding a bicycle and had just returned from the commune after doing some work when he was spotted by the team leader with a happy face.

He stopped the car with a squeak, looked out, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

The wind is so strong that it can blow away the sorrow of a young girl, and it can also blow away the few strands of hair on the heads of middle-aged and elderly people that they use to cover their modesty.

Wen Ran almost watched helplessly as the two thin, delicate hairs on Bi Jianguo's head were blown wildly by the wind, and then, with his comfort, she obediently protected her bald scalp.

Wen Ran: “…”

She tried to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't hold back her thoughts. By the time she came to her senses, the words had already slipped out and there was no room for remedy.

"I'm thinking of how to be lazy."

Captain: “?”

He was stunned.

I wanted to curse, but then I thought of Wen Ran’s fighting ability.

Forget it, I can’t beat him.

Isn't the purpose of life to be able to bend and stretch?

He took a deep breath, pretending that he heard nothing, and pedaled his bike to leave.

Wen Ran thought about it and decided that since everything had been said now, he might as well just give up.

"and many more!"

The captain's main strategy is to turn a deaf ear and try to run away.

But he didn't run away.

Wen Ran grabbed the handlebars of the bicycle.

"Uncle~" She smiled flatteringly, "Can we chat for a while?"

"I don't really want to chat."

Wen Ran: “…”

Okay, if you do this, then she will be acting like a rogue.

"Then you can't leave."

The captain was so angry that he just stared blankly and could only talk to Wen Ran.

"Uncle, to be honest, I still have a little money. I don't need to spend money on luxury food, but I can still have enough food and clothing."

She gestured with her slender arms and said seriously, "Besides, I have all the strength I need. If I need something to eat, I can just go to the back mountain and find it."

"My boy, though you may be strong, hunting has nothing to do with this."

If you go hunting in the mountains, you might even lose your life.

After a friendly exchange (and a heated argument), the team leader finally gave in and said, "There are some easier jobs in the team, but I'm afraid you can't do them."

"You say!"
