Compared with the workers in the commune construction team, the people brought by Zhang Guangpu were the real workers. In one afternoon, they not only dug out a one-meter-deep foundation, but also dug out nearly half a meter of soil in the foundation area.

Because the building needs to be built about half a meter underground, the soil within the foundation area must be cleared out to a depth of one meter.

This speed surprised Wan Feng a little.

It was already dark when the foundation was dug.

Wan Feng took out a pack of cigarettes and threw them around, muttering words like "hard work" and so on.

"We will pour the foundation tomorrow. After pouring the foundation, we will stop for a day and start building the small platform." Zhang Guangpu said after blowing out a smoke ring.

"Master, I have to go to school tomorrow and won't be here during the day. I've made arrangements here. Look, I ran around all afternoon to buy these vegetables. Tell your people that this amount of food is definitely not enough to make stews every day, but we can make do with vegetable soup. It's not the best, but I guarantee everyone will be full. Please bear with me."

According to the rules in southern Liaoning, the employer is responsible for providing a meal for the bricklayers and carpenters, which is a meal at around 9 o'clock in the afternoon. It does not have to be a good meal, ordinary meals or even noodles, rice porridge, etc. will be fine.

Of course, forget about noodles and rice porridge. It's not the era of free food supply yet. Even if Wan Feng has money, he can buy them. He can only have corn cakes and ordinary dishes.

It is not a problem for Luan Feng's family to have women cooking more, but there are some problems with food and vegetables.

In the afternoon, Wan Feng ran to the team headquarters and bought 200 kilograms of cornmeal through the back door. He also ran across half the village to buy a bunch of miscellaneous vegetables.

In late September, there are almost no vegetables left in everyone's yard. After the frost in a few days, only radishes and cabbages will be left.

It's impossible to eat these vegetables stewed together, but it's okay to drink vegetable soup.

This is the only way to eat pancakes and drink vegetable soup. If there is no vegetable soup, you can only eat pickles.

It’s not that Wan Feng is reluctant to spend money to feed the carpenters and masons, it’s just that they really can’t buy it.

But that was the case in almost all rural areas at that time, and they couldn't find any reason to complain.

Of course, you still have to say some polite words, otherwise these bricklayers and carpenters will tamper with you behind your back.

"Xiao Wan, let's not say these polite words. The people in Liu Village also know the relationship between us. We promise that we won't be picky about these things. We are all from the countryside and we all know each other's conditions."

Wan Feng couldn't improve the food, but he did make up for it in other areas.

He could still afford the eight-cent economic cigarettes. In the afternoon, he bought all the economic cigarettes from the Jiangwei Brigade and the Pingshan Brigade, a total of eight cartons. If he bought one carton a day, he estimated that after eight days, the store would be almost finished.

The Yan family didn't care, Wan Feng had set a precedent.

After seeing off the carpenter and bricklayer, Wan Feng prepared to go back.

"Are you coming late?" Luan Feng asked while leaning against the door.

"I'm not coming. I'm studying tomorrow, so I won't come during the day. I'll come over in the evening."

After returning to his grandmother's house, Wan Feng went into his aunt's room.

Zhu Yan was admiring herself in the mirror, but she didn't know who she was showing her beauty to since it was too late.

"Auntie, it's getting dark now. Are you dressing up like this for ghosts to see?"

"Bah! You crow's mouth! I want to wash my hair, but this won't take off my braids."

"Did Jiang Li tell you?"

"What? He didn't say anything?"

Maybe I didn't have time or the opportunity to say it while I was working.

"I talked to him this afternoon about the house you're getting married in. What do you think of the four rooms on the east side of Xiaonanshan Old Youth Point?"

Originally there were eight rooms in the old youth center. Chen Cang bought the four rooms on the west side, leaving the four rooms on the east side.

Zhu Yan thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "Can we still live in that house? It can't collapse."

"It still needs to be cleaned up. Clean it up during the autumn break and you can live there temporarily. When conditions improve in the future, you can renovate it. I think that place is nice and spacious. When you renovate it in the future, you can at least make three or four rooms on the east side."

"But isn't it a bit far from the village?"

If a straight line is drawn between Dongtou and Xigouli, the youth point is exactly in the middle of this straight line, with no village in front and no shop behind.

There is a house about three hundred meters in front of it, but that is the Waqian team.

"You are here to live your life, not to join in the fun. Stay away from the village so you can avoid the gossip. Besides, it won't be peaceful there for a few years. Maybe in two years, many people will build houses there."

The biggest disadvantage of this place at the east end is that it is too close to the river and the terrain is slightly low. If the Inna River floods, the water will flow into the house from the river bank, and then the frogs will jump around in the house.

There was little rain this year and the rivers did not flood, so the frog kang incident did not happen this year.

Because of this reason, about three years later all the families in the east moved to Xigouli or Nanshan.

When Yishi Wanfeng and his family moved back here from Longjiang, there were only two families left in the east, the Jiang family and Luan Feng's grandfather's family, and the rest of the place had become farmland.

"You said that in two years someone would build a house there?" Zhu Yan was skeptical or didn't believe it at all.

"If someone builds a house there in the future, they might get hurt. So now you can occupy the land and fence off the front, back, and left sides so no one else can take it. You can do whatever you want there."

In remote places like the top of a mountain, the government's management of homesteads is not so strict. As long as the house meets the regulations, they will turn a blind eye to the size of your yard.

Therefore, my aunt can definitely become the king of Nanshan.

"Will anyone really build a house?" Zhu Yan still didn't believe it.

"If you trust me, I won't be wrong. Tomorrow, have Jiang Li go to Zhang Hai and apply for it. Chen Cang bought it for 80 yuan, and it cost almost the same to set it up. You need to prepare 200 yuan to make it habitable. Do you have money? If not, I can lend you some."

"I still have this little bit of money, but shouldn't his family give it to me?"

"He has three small, shabby houses and two younger brothers. I don't know how much trouble he'll have in the future. Let's not join in the fun. The two bucks are not a problem. I'll pay for the house and the renovations."

Wan Feng has a heroic spirit in his heart and it shows in every part of his body. It is good to have money.

"But we can't spend this money on blind places. When you divide the family property after marriage, you must explain the house clearly in front of witnesses, so as to avoid any messy things when Jiang Li's brother grows up."

There are many conflicts that arise after the division of rural property.

Don’t let Jiang Li’s younger brother do disgusting things when he grows up and thinks that his brother’s house was given by his parents. This house has nothing to do with their family and has nothing to do with their family’s money.
