Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

Chapter 7 Building a House

No matter how you think about it, the land on the east side of the educated youth site is the best choice.

Captain, we both want to move out as soon as possible. You see, we don’t know much about building a house, so we have no choice but to trouble you, Captain, said Qiao Chuchu.

Zhang Jianguo pondered for a moment, thinking that the busy farming season was over now, and there was just enough manpower available to build the house.

Qiao Chuchu also said that she and Ma Ning are now living in a youth cadre site, and it is not very convenient to provide meals.

When the time comes, we will directly convert the meals into the wages. We will provide mung bean soup every day, and then I will trouble Aunt Cuihua.

When Aunt Cuihua heard this, she also knew that it was indeed not very convenient to do anything at the educated youth site, so they came to her for help. Seeing that this educated youth Qiao spoke and acted reasonably, it would not hurt to help.

Aunt Cuihua didn't want to admit that it was because of what happened just now. She just felt that she was really kind.

The team leader was very understanding of his wife. He knew that her silence meant she agreed to help, so he agreed and said that he would arrange for someone to lay the foundation tomorrow.

However, Qiao Chuchu and Ma Ning still need to find the building materials themselves. After all, this is not a construction site for educated youth, so the brigade will definitely not provide them with the materials.

Qiao Chuchu also knew that supplies were scarce in this day and age, and some things were definitely hard to buy without connections. Although she had a system that could solve these problems, building a house as soon as she arrived in the countryside was already a very high-profile thing, and it was impossible for her to build a brick house under such circumstances.

I said to the team leader, "Uncle, Ma Zhiqing and I have just arrived. We have nowhere to get the building materials for the time being. Do you think the team has anything we can use? Ma Zhiqing and I will exchange them with the team leader." In that era, people didn't dare to even mention buying things, they could only exchange them.

Zhang Jianguo glanced at Qiao Chuchu. He hadn't expected this educated youth to be so cunning despite being so young. However, considering that Qiao Chuchu was a man of his time, not only did he give him and the old man meat buns, but he also wasn't as hypocritical as the other educated youth, he would only help her this once. Zhang Jianguo had no idea that he would be able to help her in many more ways.

"Many families in the brigade have their own mud bricks, which can be exchanged for use when the time comes. As for the timber that the brigade has in stock, we can also exchange it directly with you. As for the beams, we have some in the Great Wilderness Mountain, so you can just go and cut them down when the time comes."

"Don't bother providing food. When you don't have enough food, you need the brigade to help you. Just convert it into wages! Just 5 cents a day."

"Each of you will have two small rooms, one for living and one for the kitchen. We'll also build a firewood shed for you. The west side will be directly connected to the wall of the educated youth site, and we'll build walls on the east side and in front and behind you."

"If you each spend 50 yuan, you can finish the house and move in in about half a month."

Thank you, Captain. Qiao Chuchu and Ma Ning thanked him at the same time. They also knew that the captain was saving them money and filling their time.

With such a captain and two other people, life in the Dahuang Brigade should be safe.

Zhang Jianguo was very satisfied to see that the two of them understood what he meant. After all, it was not a pleasant feeling to help someone and not get any thanks for it.

"Uncle, you see, Ma Ning and I are new female educated youth, so it's not very convenient for us to handle many things. Why don't we entrust it to Aunt Cuihua, and we will also pay Aunt Cuihua a salary every day."

Qiao Chuchu said that it was impossible for her and Ma Ning to deal with a group of grown men every day. Although it was serious business, it was not pleasant to say. No one knew what kind of person anyone was. It would not be good if their reputation was ruined by someone with ulterior motives.

It is better to nip this danger in the bud. Aunt Cuihua from the captain's family is efficient and reliable, and has the captain's support, so no one will come and cause trouble for no reason.
