After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life
Chapter 44 Building a Yard 2
The weather was getting colder and it could snow at any time. After preparing the necessary materials, everyone wanted to finish the construction as soon as possible, so they found more people and started work on several yards and houses at the same time.
Because meals were not provided, we were given one dollar a day, 70 cents as wages and 30 cents as food expenses.
The salary is not low, and the people from the village who come to work are quite satisfied with the price.
This is the most lively thing in the village now. Since it spread, many people come to watch the fun every day.
Most of them were there simply to watch the fun, and there were a few who came with sarcastic words, but Shen Xiaoxia and the others ignored them all and pretended not to know.
Anyway, everyone knows that their families will give subsidies.
When the people in the front yard heard about it, some were indifferent, some were simply envious, and some were indignant. However, they just complained among themselves, and it didn't affect anything.
There are five or six people working in each yard, because the yard is not big and the walls are not built very high.
The roofs of the kitchen and storage room extend from high to low, with the side close to the room being higher and the side close to the end of the yard being lower, making it easier to drain water when it rains.
The highest part is nearly three meters, and the lowest part is two meters, which is the same height as the courtyard wall.
In addition, the wages were high, and everyone worked diligently, leaving home early and returning late. The construction was completed very quickly, and it was almost finished in more than three days.
On the morning of the fourth day, Shen Xiaoxia moved the quilt on the kang to the yard and put away everything that could be put away in the room.
Someone was assigned to carve a door at the back of the room according to the size of the purchased door frame.
She collected all the broken bricks and planned to mix them with pebbles and sprinkle them on the open space between the room and the kitchen to prevent stepping on mud when it rained.
The stove has also been prepared. For easy use, it has two stove openings, neither of which are large.
The several doors that needed to be installed were also installed, and the whole project was completed around mid-afternoon.
On this last day, although there was no full day, everyone was still paid according to a full day's wages.
When the work was completed, the wages were all given to the team leader, who was asked to help distribute it. He helped a lot in the past few days.
In addition to giving him a salary, he also avoided other people and went to the captain's house to give him extra money and gifts.
The team leader initially refused to accept it, but was forced to accept it by several people, who hoped that he could help and take care of the people in the village more in the future.
In the village, the captain's words still carry a lot of weight!
After seeing off the villagers, Shen Xiaoxia went to see the results.
Following Jiang Yan's advice, the foundations of the kitchen and storage room were raised a little, and the ground was raised and compacted with soil so that water would not flow into the house when it rained.
The walls are made of loess bricks, and a layer of clay mixed with mud and fine sand and gravel is applied on the walls to make the walls look a little flatter and smoother.
In the kitchen, the stove is also made of loess bricks and mud, and is placed against the wall on the left side of the door.
After two days, Shen Xiaoxia took out the iron pot from the small kitchen. There were two stoves, one for cooking and the other for future use.
Shen Xiaoxia planned to move all the firewood to the kitchen in a few days and put the food in the storage room next door.
There's no rush, just move slowly.
The newly built house still had a strong smell of soil. Shen Xiaoxia touched the wall with her hand and found it was dry.
Shen Xiaoxia took out everything from the locker in the room and asked Han Zhuxin to help move the locker out and put it in the kitchen.
Taking a rag and a broom, I cleaned the kitchen, storage room, and room carefully, and put everything in place again.
Looking at her current residence, Shen Xiaoxia is very happy and satisfied.
Eating will be more convenient in the future, and you can be lazy when you don’t want to cook.
After packing up, Shen Xiaoxia went to Han Zhuxin's room.
Seeing Shen Xiaoxia coming over, Han Zhuxin waved, "I was just about to look for you. Come, give me a hand. I'll also move the storage cabinet to the kitchen."
Shen Xiaoxia helped carry the storage cabinet to the kitchen, then looked around. The layout and structure of Han Zhuxin's side were the same as hers.
Han Zhuxin saw Shen Xiaoxia leisurely and asked her, "Have you packed everything?"
Shen Xiaoxia nodded, "Well, I've packed it up. Do you want to help?"
Han Zhuxin was putting things back into the locker. Hearing this, he tilted his head and looked at Shen Xiaoxia, "No need, I'm almost done."
Shen Xiaoxia saw that she had almost finished cleaning up her side, and thought about He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng's meal.
He asked, "Zhu Xin, the kitchen will be ready for use tomorrow. Do you plan to start using it tomorrow, or do you want to stay in the small kitchen for a while?"
Han Zhuxin understood the meaning of Shen Xiaoxia's words, and her eyes flickered slightly, "My own is firing right here.
As for them, the small kitchen is empty anyway, so let them stay there for a while.
Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll set the kitchen on fire!"
Shen Xiaoxia didn't know what Han Zhuxin was thinking about He Tingyuan at the moment. She looked at Han Zhuxin with a smile and asked tentatively,
"Are you really going to continue managing this? Although Xie Yunheng said he saved my life, no one really took it seriously."
Han Zhuxin smiled slightly, "I know it was a joke, but after what they did with the people in the front yard, they definitely won't want to eat together again.
They themselves can't cook at all, but they live in the same yard, and both of them have good personalities. If you can help, then help. It's not a big deal."
Shen Xiaoxia stepped forward and nudged Han Zhuxin's arm with her arm, looking gossipy. "Don't you have any other intentions?"
Han Zhuxin raised the corner of his eyes slightly and glanced at Shen Xiaoxia, "I also want to ask you, what's going on with Jiang Yan?"
Shen Xiaoxia was startled when she suddenly heard her mention Jiang Yan, but then she quickly reacted and said casually, "What's going on? It's nothing, we've only met a few times."
Han Zhuxin clearly didn't believe it. "Oh, considering Jiang Yan's performance and how familiar you two are with each other, you've only met a few times? Are you kidding me?"
This time, Shen Xiaoxia's tone was much more confident, "I've only encountered it a few times, really!"
It’s just that every encounter is a bit dramatic.
Shen Xiaoxia was distracted by Han Zhuxin and forgot her original intention to gossip. When she came to her senses and wanted to ask again, Han Zhuxin pushed her out of the room with a cold face.
Seeing that she still needed to continue cleaning the room, Shen Xiaoxia didn't bother her anymore and went to check on the other people's rooms one by one.
Because He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng's yards are integrated, they look obviously much larger than Shen Xiaoxia's and are much more spacious.
The same goes for Zhao Fan and Zhao Lingling's side. Because the venue is not restricted by the yard like He Tingyuan's side, there is open space behind them, so it is slightly deeper than He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng's side, and looks more spacious.
However, Shen Xiaoxia is very satisfied with her current residence. She is quite content. It is already much better than she imagined!
