Transmigrating to a Farmer's Family to Farm

Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...

Chapter 41 Building a House

When she returned home, Li Yan deliberately avoided Wu and quietly put the things in her room.

On the fourth day, after the adobe bricks were dried and formed, construction officially began. Everyone came to Li's house early and started building the house.

The first thing to start construction on is the kitchen, because it will be much more convenient to cook at home with a kitchen!

It took a few days to build the kitchen. Li Yan then went to Zhenshan to get the pots and pans she had customized last time and placed them on the built stove. After the stove was installed, the kitchen was considered complete.

What concerned Li Yan the most was the construction of the toilet. Because it was a dry toilet, Li Yan had to make a squat toilet and begged old man Li to go to the stone shop to get some large pieces of smooth marble.

The surface of marble is round and smooth, making it perfect for squat toilets. Place the marble in the built squat toilet and slowly drill a large hole with a drill. After using the toilet, flush it with water to directly lead to the septic tank.

Li Yan was satisfied. Looking at the floor covered with bricks and stones, which no longer looked dirty, she had the urge to cover all the rooms with marble.

Forget it. The house the Li family built is already eye-catching enough. If Li Yan stands out from the crowd, she will be afraid of being targeted by others.

Now their family has no power and influence, and it is easy for anyone with a little influence to kill them.

After working hard for more than half a month, all the houses have been built. Today, only the walls are left, and they will be basically completed by the afternoon.

First, build along the rightmost house into the yard to completely separate the two houses.

On the other side, the yard is enclosed along the west side of the house, with a high wall blocking the view of outsiders.

After finishing the front part, the last thing to do was to build the backyard wall. Li Yan first marked out a piece of open space and asked a few people to help build a simple shed in preparation for raising chickens in the future.

A large piece of open space was planned, and she planned to dig a pond at the back and plant some lotus roots. Then she would not only have lotus flowers to look at, but also lotus pods and lotus roots to eat. Li Yan thought happily.

When the backyard wall is built, the new home is truly completed.

While Li Erlang was paying off the wages for these days, he invited everyone to come to his house tomorrow to have a farewell dinner.

Everyone happily took the ninety-six wages and nodded in agreement.

Li Yan asked Li Erlang if he wanted to invite anyone else and how many tables of food should be prepared?

Li Erlang thought for a moment and said, "Prepare more. Let's prepare three tables first."

After the father and daughter finished talking, Li Erlang got up and went to the next room. He was going to pay his elder brother the money he had earned in the past few days.

When they got to the next door, Li Erlang just wanted to pay him, but Li Dalang immediately frowned and said, "Second brother, do you still consider me a family member? How can I ask for money from my family? You are asking an outsider to stab me in the back!"

Seeing Li Dalang like this, Li Erlang couldn't insist: "Brother, why shouldn't I be your family? I also want to invite you to visit my younger sister's house. We'll have a work party tomorrow and I want them to come over to join in the fun."

Hearing him say this, Li Dalang was satisfied. He stood up and said, "I'll go there later. It's been a long time since I last saw my sister."

Hearing Li Dalang's promise, Li Erlang did not stay any longer, as there were still many things waiting for him to arrange at home.

After Li Erlang left, the aunt-in-law pinched her husband's arm fiercely. She didn't live in the new house, and she didn't get her wages. She was so angry!

On the other hand, Li Yan planned to go to the old boatman Zhou Bo's house. There would be many people tomorrow, so he planned to order some fish first.
