Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s
Chapter 22 Building a House
So when those female educated youth who were not as well off as her came to the educated youth point, she could not stand them doing well unless they pleased her or obeyed her, and she would cause trouble for them for no reason.
Before this, three female educated youth couldn't stand Lin Xiaomei's constant trouble-making, so they married local people not long after they arrived in the countryside to work.
Although the man's conditions are not that good, fortunately he did not encounter a difficult in-law family. If there had been a quarrel, Lin Xiaomei would not have dared to be so arrogant.
Zhao Lanlan grasped Lin Xiaomei's character. The more she took care of the original owner without any resentment, the more jealous Lin Xiaomei became and the more impulsive she became.
In addition, the original owner was stingy and cried poor every day. Lin Xiaomei saw that the original owner really had nothing to gain.
He fell ill after only a few days here. It's obvious that he can't do any work.
After being provoked by Zhao Lanlan, Lin Xiaomei couldn't hold back any longer. She started to criticize the original owner just because she didn't put enough chili in the cooking.
Maybe she was really afraid that the original owner would take advantage of her in the future, but more importantly, she couldn't bear to see Zhao Lanlan being nice to the original owner.
Why are they all the same? She had to endure it herself when she was sick, and she had to find a way out when she had no food. Why is it that Zhao Lanlan has been taking care of Jiang Yanqiu since she came?
The whole incident had nothing to do with Zhao Lanlan, but her "contribution" was also indispensable.
In the book, Lin Xiaomei came to her senses after being reminded by Qiao Lei, and never fell for Zhao Lanlan's trick again.
Only the original owner was left. Every time the original owner targeted the protagonists, Zhao Lanlan was involved, but she had never done anything.
Later, after Zhao Lanlan was sent to the farm, the original owner also woke up.
As for Zhao Lanlan being sent to the farm in the end, she didn't do anything except stimulate Liu Yuanda to commit a crime and create opportunities for him to commit a crime.
He did nothing from beginning to end, and there is no evidence. Even if we trace him down, the worst that can be said is that he knew about it but didn't report it.
At most, the two of them were convicted of attempted crime. Compared with what other people did in Shanshui Village, it was nothing. At most, people would gossip about them for a while, and then the matter would be over.
If you want to blame someone, blame Liu Yuanda for being blind and thinking about Gu Qingqing. When they met Gu Qingshi, who had no principles, the two of them were sent to the farm because Gu Qingshi used his family connections to arrange it.
But no matter what, Jiang Yanqiu felt that she was not much smarter than the original owner, and she had no intention of making close friends with Zhao Lanlan, otherwise she might be sold out by her someday, and she would have to help her count the money!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yanqiu felt a little helpless, and then fell asleep unknowingly.
The next morning, Jiang Yanqiu was awakened by a loud noise.
She listened carefully and found that it was the people who came to help build the house. So she got up quickly, put on her clothes and left the room.
Lin Shaoyang also happened to come out of another room. Jiang Yanqiu greeted him politely: "Lin Zhiqing, good morning! What time is it now?"
Lin Shaoyang checked his watch and replied, "Three twenty."
Jiang Yanqiu was surprised when she heard the time. She said, "So early! Are they coming to help with the work?"
Lin Shaoyang explained: "This is the custom here. We start working at dawn."
Jiang Yanqiu thought about it and felt that this was normal. After all, the daytime hours here are longer in the summer and relatively shorter in the winter.
Lin Shaoyang then said to Jiang Yanqiu, "Jiang Zhiqing, we also want to build a house. We've already discussed this with the village chief and we can build it together. However, due to limited land, we need to flatten the slope behind us to serve as the new foundation. I'd like to ask if you have any special needs or ideas so that we can discuss them with the team leader and others in advance."
Jiang Yanqiu explained her idea in detail, which was to build two rooms, one as a bedroom and the other to be divided into a kitchen and bathroom.
She wants to install double glazing in the bedroom to increase warmth and soundproofing.
She then added: "If possible, I would like to use blue bricks underneath and paint the floor and the bottom with cement so that it is not easy for mice to dig holes to enter the house."
Last night she heard the sound of mice gnawing at boxes, and considering that there is a mountain behind the house, she is worried that mice will run rampant in her room in the future.
Lin Shaoyang understood and asked, "Why did you buy three jars? One jar for pickled vegetables and one for water will be enough. It's best to store the grain in a wooden box to prevent it from getting damp."
Jiang Yanqiu patiently explained, "One of the vats is used as a toilet. Once we build the house, the foundation will definitely be higher than the ground, so we can use the vat to build a simple toilet. Then we can build a drainage ditch with cement and dig a septic tank. We'll drill a hole in the vat so that when we go to the bathroom in the summer, we can flush the septic tank with water. This is both hygienic and prevents maggots from crawling everywhere. It would be even better if you could get a thicker drainage pipe."
Gu Qingshi heard this from inside the house and said in agreement, "I think it's okay. Let's build one too. I don't have an appetite for food every time I finish using the toilet."
Lin Shaoyang agreed, "Sure, we can share a septic tank. We're also planning to buy tiles. If we make a thatched roof, the mud and grass will always fall off when the wind blows. Do you want to join us?"
Jiang Yanqiu hesitated a little. "I'm not sure if I have enough money. I want to save 50 or 60 yuan for backup."
Although she had space, she destroyed Qiao Lei's system mall and took Gu Qingqing's supplies. In addition, her personality was different after she fell into the water.
Given Qiao Lei's suspicious nature, she'd probably suspect Jiang Yanqiu of reincarnation or transmigration. When her system mall disappeared, her first suspect would be Jiang Yanqiu.
Therefore, Jiang Yanqiu probably won't use the space for a long time, so it's better to keep some money on hand as a backup.
Lin Shaoyang calculated in his mind and said with a smile: "It should be no problem. Building a blue brick and tile house here will only cost about a hundred yuan. The labor cost here is a bit higher, but half of our house is made of earth bricks and we share a wall, so it's about the same. If it really doesn't work out, I can lend you some money to tide you over."
Hey, he is indeed a well-known good guy. He even offered to lend her money, not worrying that she would not be able to pay it back.
After hearing this, Jiang Yanqiu had nothing more to say, and the matter was settled.
As for Lin Shaoyang's initiative to offer to pay for leveling the slope, Jiang Yanqiu and Gu Qingshi did not agree.
That dirt slope can be finished by ten people in less than two days, and it will cost at most a dozen dollars. There is no need to owe Lin Shaoyang a favor for such a small amount of money.
The people doing the work were led by team leader Tian Xingliang. It was the same in the village. Village chief Zhao was in charge of civil affairs, and the team leader was in charge of military affairs.
Building a house requires the consent of Village Chief Zhao, but the team leader is responsible for arranging the construction.
