Chapter 59 59 Looking at the house
Xu Chunniang was even more speechless. What stimulated her man?
Replied perfunctorily: "No, father, you are very manly, you have to go to work tomorrow, go to bed quickly, did you say what time?"
"No, let's find someone, the more the better, the wages are based on the market price. Oh, I was stupid just now, I didn't ask anything, I know a lot of people, do you really want them all? I'm going tomorrow Call someone? Why don’t you call me?”
Xu Chunniang is really convinced, this man is sometimes really naive: "Go, the more you talk, the better, I'm sure I won't play tricks on you, he doesn't have that much time to spare."
"You go and call all the people here first. If there are not so many people, just let people go back. Anyway, isn't it like this when you guys are looking for jobs? Let the employer choose, and we will not offend anyone , who can blame you in their hearts for this matter?"
Wang Shengbing thought about it too: "That's fine, tomorrow I will call someone early, and let someone wait outside the yard."
Wang Shengbing went to call people before dawn. The coolies of them all got up early and stayed late, looking for work everywhere, first come, first served, so it was not early to call people before dawn.
Heard that there was work, everyone was very happy to follow, and waited outside the yard anxiously. It was a cold day, and the cold wind was blowing in the morning, so they didn't get annoyed if they couldn't wait for a long time.
Because Yuzhi was going to a new house, both Sang Dazhuang and Wang Xinfeng had to follow Yuzhi, neither urging nor panicking.
Yuzhi didn't dare to sleep in. She woke up at dawn, washed up, had a good breakfast, packed up and set off, exactly nine o'clock in the morning.
Mulberry and mulberry leaves are left at home to watch the house, and they have to take tutoring to prepare for the exam.
As soon as the three of them left the yard, they were surrounded by a group of people.
Seeing a large group of men with excited faces, swarming up, Yuzhi was startled.
Sang Dazhuang glared and yelled: "What are you doing, looking for soots in the morning?"
The faces of the men froze, and they froze in place at a loss.
"No, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Wang Shengbing hurriedly squeezed into the crowd: "Sorry, comrades, they are the ones I called, this is not what you said yesterday..."
"What the fuck, I told you to scare my wife? Is it itchy?"
Sang Dazhuang swung his fist the size of a sandbag and was about to beat someone. Wang Shengbing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Although he was used to working as a coolie, if he really wanted to fight Sang Dazhuang, he would be no match for ten of them.
Yuzhi wasn't too frightened at first, it was just a subconscious reaction when a group of elders suddenly surrounded him excitedly.
She knew that Sang Dazhuang asked Wang Shengbing to find people to work last night. Wang Shengbing should have found these people. She didn't expect to stay here so early in the morning. Looking at the weather, she might not be able to keep it. It's not easy with little time.
Quickly grabbed Sang Dazhuang's hand, and said with a smile: "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's forget it. They are all workers hired by comrades. Thank you for your hard work. My man has a quick temper. Please forgive me if I offend you."
They are all honest coolie men, it’s nothing to be yelled at twice by their employers, and they have also encountered employers who beat and kicked them and didn’t pay them when they were done.
People who do manual work like them often have no human rights and are used to it.
"It's okay, it's okay." The honest men blushed and waved their hands. It was rare to meet such a polite employer, and they were a little nervous.
It’s just these two words, and I can’t say anything else.
Yuzhi smiled and looked at Wang Shengbing: "You haven't had breakfast yet, sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Da Zhuang, go to the state-run restaurant in front and buy some miscellaneous corn buns, and I'll give you a bite first. "
Wang Shengbing quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no need, we haven't worked yet, how can we eat, this, I called a lot of people, please show me, if you can't need it, just choose something that is pleasing to the eye. Everyone They are all good at work, don't worry about that, we won't cheat and play tricks."
Yuzhi smiled and looked at Sang Dazhuang: "Can we use so many people?"
Sang Dazhuang glanced at a group of men who looked like refugees, and looked a little disgusted by their humble appearance, but it could be seen that they were all good at work, not treacherous people with too many thoughts, so they could be used.
"Used up, not enough."
"That's fine." Turning his head to look at Wang Shengbing: "Our house is being built urgently, and we need it urgently. There are many people who need it. Let's stay. I will work hard for everyone in the future."
"Eat a cornbread first, and then you can discuss with my man. Don't worry, my man is quick-tempered, but he is reasonable. As long as everyone works hard, the wages will not be less, let alone not given. wages."
Everyone can stay, and if they can work for a while, they will be very happy, and there is no time to think about other things.
"We must do a good job, we must do a good job."
Yuzhi smiled and urged Sang Dazhuang to buy corn bread.
Sang Dazhuang walked away with long legs, and Wang Shengbing and a group of men froze in place, not knowing what to do.
Wang Xinfeng rolled his eyes, and was very disgusted: "You are stupid, you look like you are being bullied, you are all unlucky things, you are working for people to get wages, and what you earn is hard money, dignified money. Stolen seems to be snatched, Qiao will be angry now."
"I will straighten my back for the worthless goods, and I will make trouble when I look at them."
In order to get the opportunity to work, a group of men must work harder than others, endure humiliation and learn to be flattering if they want to be the selected one in Nuoda's heavy labor group.
So I got used to bending down and greeting people with a smiling face.
When Wang Xinfeng said this, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while.
Wang Xinfeng frowned: "Everyone is deaf? Stand up straight and slip away."
The men were shocked, afraid that the chance of getting it would be gone, so they straightened their backs, their faces were serious, and they kept their eyes fixed, as if they were standing in a military posture.
Wang Xinfeng snorted, barely satisfied.
Yuzhi couldn't help laughing, she held Wang Xinfeng's arm and said nothing.
Life is not easy, every industry has its own way of life, she can't say she dislikes others and has no backbone, nor does she feel that she is noble.
Sang Dazhuang came back soon, and stuffed the bought cornbread to Wang Shengbing: "It's all divided up, eat while walking, keep up."
Sang Dazhuang roughly estimated the amount, and two of them bought up the miscellaneous corn bread in the state-run restaurant.
After giving it to Wang Shengbing, he took his wife and mother to the new house, regardless of the group of people behind him.
It’s not very far from here, it takes more than an hour to walk.
But that is Sang Dazhuang's speed, and Yuzhi's speed is more than that.
Sang Dazhuang felt sorry for his wife, and seeing a tricycle, he ordered one for Yuzhi.
Yuzhi didn't show his strength, and sat on it obediently, and Wang Xinfeng sat with him.
The men behind them ran behind the car with red eyes and two corn buns in their mouths, reluctant to eat.
Don’t just run with them, they are happy to carry the car and run. How can an employer give food before they work? They have met a kind person.
When we arrived at the new house, the previously hired workers were already working. Li Gan and Shouhou were not there, and Zhao Qiang was supervising the work.
Seeing Sang Dazhuang and his party, he greeted him with a smile: "Auntie is here?" He rolled his eyes at Yuzhi, with a displeased expression on his face, and he couldn't ignore Sang Dazhuang's presence, so he called out in a neutral voice: "Sister-in-law is here too?"
Yuzhi didn't care, and nodded with a smile: "Well, it's hard work, this is the cornbread made by my mother yesterday, and there is stewed fish, specially reserved for you, you didn't go back yesterday, so I brought some here for you to taste, at noon Find a place to eat hot."
Yuzhi handed the cornbread in Sang Dazhuang's hand to Zhao Qiang.
Wang Xinfeng snorted, the little **** didn't want to see his daughter-in-law, and she didn't want to see him, his expression was less salty than when he was facing the elm branch: "Eat, eat, live for the old lady, otherwise eat As much as you enter, as much as my mother will type out for you."
Zhao Qiang didn't care about Wang Xinfeng's cold face at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, you can't be wrong."
The relationship between the three of them seems quite complicated.
Sang Dazhuang pointed to a group of people behind him, and said to Zhao Qiang: "I leave it to you, let's arrange everything."
"Okay," Zhao Qiang glanced at the men, asked a few simple questions, and arranged the work after knowing what they were good at: "The workers inside are all skilled house builders, and you don't know anything, so help with the work first Do some chores, clean up the yard, pick up bricks."
"Then help the master to build the courtyard wall first. If you can see their skills and do the work alone, if you do well, I will give you a raise."
The men were surprised and delighted, how can they still learn skills?
Wang Shengbing hurriedly said: "Boss, don't worry, we will definitely work hard and learn hard."
Zhao Qiang waved his hand, needless to say good words, he just looked at the actual actions and led people to work.
Sang Dazhuang took the elm branch into the alley, stood at the door and looked at the situation in the yard.
There were a lot of things piled up in the yard, and there was a lot of dust, so she was not allowed to go in.
This piece of land is really big, square and square.
Whether it is the location of the house, or the size and shape of the house, Yuzhi is very satisfied, and 10,000 yuan is the real value.
Wang Xinfeng is also satisfied, this place is good, she can watch her daughter-in-law right at the entrance of the alley, and pick her up from school.
Yuzhi asked Sang Dazhuang: "Do you have any specific data on this land?"
"have."
"Okay, I see a big yellow horned tree at the entrance of the alley, let's go there and paint first."
The three of them left the alley, under the yellow horn tree, Wan Zhanping sat there again at some point.
When the old man saw Sang Dazhuang, his eyes were not eyes, his nose was not his nose, and he was particularly disgusted. He pretended not to see him, let alone know him.
Sang Dazhuang didn't want to see the old man, he also pretended not to see him, and sat down on the stone table next to him with Yuzhi.
"Daughter-in-law, is it cold? If it's cold, we can go back and paint." This place is the outlet, and Sang Dazhuang is worried.
"It's okay, it's not cold, the weather is fine today, it can bask in the sun, mom, you can sit down quickly, let's see how to build it properly."
"Okay," Wang Xinfeng happily sat down beside the elm branch, watching her write and draw on the white paper under the pad of a book.
With a few simple strokes, the courtyard was quickly drawn.
"Mom, do you see what the yard looks like?"
"Yes, yes, ouch, my Zhizhi is really amazing, I can remember everything at a glance."
Yuzhi laughed, the old lady loves to boast without thinking.
"Da Zhuang, what's behind the house?"
"There is also an alley at the back, which is a back alley. It is relatively narrow and has residents. Crossing the alley is another main street. If you take a detour from the main road, you need to walk for more than an hour from the main street behind the house. If you pass through the house, it only takes about ten minutes."
"But there are many alleys scattered all over the place, occupying a very large area, and the alleys behind are intricate, and the daughter-in-law cannot walk alone."
Wan Zhanping pursed his mouth, the little **** has been wandering around a lot.
Yuzhi nodded, indicating that he would not go alone: "In this case, we have to open a back door, so that it is convenient to travel."
You can open the back door, Sang Dazhuang has no objection.
Yuzhi arranged a door for the back wall, with a chicken coop on the left side of the back door and a vegetable field on the right side.
A row of warehouses is used to separate the attic from the chicken coop and the vegetable field, and a row of taller trees is planted between the small attic and the warehouse. It is sound-proof and odor-proof, and it can also prevent the peeping of the residents behind the small attic.
The left and right sides of the small attic are small gardens, and the front yard is separated from the front yard by a corridor and a stone arch.
Then use a small corridor to turn to the wall on the right to build a kitchen.
Make a small dining room in the kitchen, and eat in the small dining room when there is only my family.
There is a water well outside the kitchen, which is convenient for water.
Go further to the left, build a grape trellis, and set up stone tables and chairs under the trellise, so that you can eat outside in hot summer.
Rows of small trees separate from the front.
In the front, a courtyard is built, which is common in imperial capitals.
There are three bays, each of which is very spacious, more than double the size of a normal room.
The main room in the south direction is designed with an open front and back. It can be used as a place for entertaining guests, and it can also be used as a large dining room. Through the main room, you can reach the kitchen in the backyard.
The front door is also equipped with a path, from the left and right sides of the courtyard to the back kitchen. When there are guests who are inconvenient, there is no need to pass through the courtyard.
The east house in the south, where Wang Xinfeng lives.
In the house in the east, the brothers and sisters of Mulberry and Mulberry leaf share one room.
The rooms are very large, and the front and back rooms can be separated to set up a small study room, and the remaining room can be used as a large study room.
Other rooms can be used to store things, and can also be used as guest rooms.
The design of the yard is very simple, there is no style at all, it depends on personal preference and convenience and practicality, some flowers and plants are outlined on the elm branches, it looks very beautiful.
Wan Zhanping also moved over at some point, stretched his neck to look at Yuzhi's painting, concentrating on it.
Sang Dazhuang glanced at him several times in disgust, but he didn't see it either.
Seeing the excitement, he asked aloud: "Girl, what kind of tree are you?"
Wang Xinfeng turned his head and glanced at him, where did the old melon come from?
Yuzhi had noticed the old man a long time ago, seeing that Sang Dazhuang didn't respond, he guessed that he should be someone he could talk to.
smiled and said, "Does the old man have any good suggestions?"
Wan Zhanping became excited when he heard it, and it can be regarded as someone who listened to his old man.
Putting open Sang Dazhuang, excitedly moved to the side of the elm branch.
"Let me tell you, you plant evergreen trees here, with green leaves all year round, so as not to look bare and unsightly in autumn and winter. Our imperial capital is cold, and evergreen trees are not afraid of the cold."
"Here, the smell of chicken feces is strong. You plant some roses. The roses bloom all year round. The planting conditions are not particular. It is a good plant. Let me tell you, there are chickens that eat rose petals, and they can be used as rations for chickens. ,save trouble."
