"Okay, don't comfort me. I'll find an opportunity to buy more land around my yard and build a big... large house."

The six people did not think Zhou Xiang was bragging, but instead believed that she could do it.

When the master of the Ma Gua arrived, Zhu Hang and the other six people were waiting anxiously, fearing that he would be unwilling to take the job.

"Hey, Zhaozhao is doing well now! He even asked me to build a house for him."

"Cousin." Ma Zhao called out weakly.

Zhou Xiang was anxious. "Alright, alright, stop reminiscing about the past. Let's go and look at the blueprints."

Ma Gua became excited when he heard about the blueprint.

"Think about the girl, why are you hanging out with them?"

"Don't look down on them. Although they've been in trouble for a while, they haven't done anything unforgivable. Come, let me introduce you. This is my future brother-in-law, Zhu Hang, the leader of the Gang of Six."

Ma Gua almost choked to death on his own breath, "Really?"

"Really? Otherwise, why would I care about their house? Do I look like someone with nothing to do?"

"Okay, okay, this kid Zhu Hang is lucky."

From the moment Ma Gua was willing to enter his yard, Zhu Hang knew that he was doing it for the sake of his sister-in-law.

However, this was not as exciting as Zhou Xiang admitting on the spot that he was her future brother-in-law.

When he heard Ma Gua say that he was blessed, he immediately nodded and said that he was indeed blessed, and all his blessings of more than 20 years had been used here.

Ma Gua didn't waste any more words and sat on the broken and rickety stool to look at Zhou Xiang's drawing.

When he heard Zhou Xiang talk about cast-in-place floor slabs, he immediately slapped his thigh and fell flat on his butt.

Before he could utter any excited words, he fell down again and immediately started coughing due to choking.

"Ahem, what a shabby, ahem, stool. Might as well just, ahem, sit on the ground."

The seven of you laughed out loud. When you sat down, you knew clearly that the stool was broken, but you still slapped your thighs excitedly.

Wu Haotian changed the stool for him, but he didn't sit down and just squatted.

"Your cast-in-place method is great! Not only does it save costs, but you're not limited by the size of the precast panels. You can make any shape you want, and there's no water seepage due to the gaps between the precast panels.

However, we can't build it now. Not to mention the weather, how can we rush to build a three-story building? And the floor slabs need to dry after each pour.

In addition, we need to make formwork, as this cast-in-place construction requires a lot of formwork, and we also need to find someone we know to buy steel bars. Everything takes time to prepare, and we can start construction as early as spring.”

"So, how many people can you bring to work? How long will it take to build the three-story building?"

"I'll try to get as many people as possible. I'm sure many people will be willing to learn this new craft. However, everyone who comes to work, including me, is new to this cast-in-place process, so there may be some unsatisfactory aspects. Zhou thinks you understand this, so you can come and supervise. As for the wages, don't count them. Can you provide meals? We'll finish the construction here and then go home."

Looking at the expressionless face of Zhou Xiang, he rubbed his head a little embarrassedly and said, "We have learned this technique. It's a bit demanding to provide meals."

"Since you know the requirements are high, then you can cook for yourselves. We won't provide meals. In other words, you come to build a house, but we don't pay you and we don't provide meals.

Explain it clearly to them first, and don't just bring in anyone. You should know that after learning this technique, you can form a construction team and take on public building projects. Furthermore, my time is precious, yet I still have to teach you how to use a mixer, tie rebar, vibrate, and grind.

By the way, if you're willing to take this job, you'll have to buy a concrete mixer and two plug-in vibrators, and you'll also be responsible for making the formwork.

If you don't want to, I'll find someone else in the county to do it."

"I'm willing, I'm willing. I only have three brothers and more than a dozen cousins. If others don't want to, the dozen or so of us will work overtime to take on this job."

Buildings! Just buy two machines and you can start working on it. There are also people to guide you. If you have a house to try your hand at, you should definitely take it!

And every time I take a job from Zhou Xiang, I can make a lot of money outside.

"Are you really willing to take it?"

"I'm really willing to take it. I don't want any wages or food until the three-story building is built."

Master Ma Gua walked away happily, and six pairs of eyes looked at Zhou Xiang.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wu Haotian said, "How do you know about cast-in-place floor slabs at your age? How do you know about vibrating and polishing?"

Can I tell you that in my previous life, I built a building at my ex-husband's house and I participated in everything. I even chatted with the construction master when I had nothing to do, not to mention that in later life, there were construction sites everywhere where buildings were built and cement floors were poured.

Haha, I can't tell you, I can only tell you, "When I went to the provincial capital, there was a construction site nearby. I thought it was interesting, so I went to see it and asked about it. People looked at me young and told me everything, so I learned it."

Zhu Hang felt that the more he got to know his sister-in-law, the more mysterious she became. You never know what idea she will come up with next.

"What about this house?" Wu Haotian worried.

"Let's talk about it next year. Once it's built, painted, and furnished, you'll have a sister-in-law."

Zhu Hang had no choice. His sister-in-law said she wanted to build a house, so he decided to build it! He didn't know what to do with the money he earned anyway!

"What about next year's business?" Zhong Xiong asked.

"Keep going! The barbecue business will never get out of style. You can keep doing it until you're old.

Okay, I'm going home. You guys should stay busy too. Go to the south and buy some dried seafood and bring them back to the workplace. It's Chinese New Year, and the workplace has to distribute New Year's goods."

When Wu Haotian heard this, he quickly stopped her, "Don't go, think about it, sister, don't go. Let's talk about this business. Since you have something to do, don't be idle. New Year's goods do make money, but there are no connections! Purchasing them is fine, but contacting the company is not possible."

Zhou wanted to stand still, "Are you really willing to run south?"

All six people nodded. Now that the eldest brother wanted to get married and build a house, everyone worked together.

"Try to go to the coastal villages to purchase goods quietly. Many fishing villages have their supplies monopolized by others. The fishermen have no money or power and dare not resist. So you should contact them secretly and bring goods in secretly. Don't let the local merchants find out. This is a one-time thing, so don't go there again next time.

As for contacting units! I'll introduce someone to you. You can ask him for a letter of introduction, and then go to the logistics department of each major unit. You should be able to contact quite a few units."

Zhong Xiong couldn't hold back his voice any longer, "Sister, you are my sister, I, I, let's become sworn sisters."

"Get out of the way. If you want to become sworn brothers, you should become sworn brothers with me, right? Think about your sister." Ma Zhao pushed Zhong Xiong away.

Wu Haotian pushed them both away and said, "Go and have some fun. Girl, who are you going to introduce us to?"

"He's from the municipal government. Oh! I don't know what position he holds. He and I have the same last name, and he considers me his sister."
