"Since my cousin wants to take care of grandpa and grandma, you don't need to take wages. Find a few people and do the work."
"Mianmian, take care of this matter."
Feng Mian said, "No, I have to pay you. Even though this is for my grandma and grandpa to live in, the house is originally in my name."
They looked at Gu Yuelin again. In their opinion, although Feng Mian was their cousin, she was not alone after all. She had a husband.
Gu Yuelin immediately stated, "Cousin, it's not easy for you to support your cousin's wife and the children, you should take the money. Mianmian and I are very busy, and we have to rely on you to take care of everything in this house."
Feng Xinliang tapped his pipe and said, "We'll talk about the wages later. Now go talk to some reliable people and we'll build the house properly."
"Xiao, listen to Dad."
The advantage of building your own house in the countryside nowadays is that as long as you have money and land, you can build it however you want without disturbing other neighbors.
It will be years before the relevant laws on illegal buildings are introduced.
They were going to rebuild the house, and it was no use Zhang and Feng Guodong trying to persuade them.
They have come to understand over the years that although their granddaughter speaks in a soft voice and appears to be well-behaved and sensible, she is actually very opinionated and authoritarian. Once she says no, no one else can refute her decision.
Gradually, they stopped persuading me.
Follow the arrangements and move to the old house first.
The eldest son's child is still young and lives with me.
The young daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the house they left for the child was empty, so the old couple had a place to live.
Zhao Hui was envious when she heard that Feng Mian's family had rebuilt a big house.
When the construction team started working, she came to check on them every day and privately asked Feng Zheng, "Why is the foundation so big? How big are they going to build the house?"
"It's not small. Houses will be built wherever the foundation is laid here."
"Ah? How many rooms do we need? They won't come, will they be able to stay here? What a waste of money."
Feng Zheng said, "Mom, they're not wasting your money, why are you so anxious?"
"Hey, I just said no?"
Feng Zheng ignored her and went back to work.
Zhao Hui followed up again, "Boss, why did I hear that she wants to build two and a half floors of this house?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Oh my god, two and a half floors, how many houses does that require?"
Feng Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Downstairs there is a garage, tea room, activity room, kitchen, dining room, living room, two toilets and two bedrooms. On the first floor there is a living room, five bedrooms that can sleep, and the master bedroom suite also has a study and bathroom. Oh, their bathroom is also a toilet, and there are two toilets upstairs. The third floor is a half floor, which is used to store sundries. It's about this big."
Zhao Hui was stunned when she heard this.
"Oh my god, it's so big, is she going to ask you to live with her?"
"How is that possible? It's just for grandpa and grandma to live in."
"Ah? It's just two old people living in such a big house. Isn't it a waste?"
"Why do you manage others?"
"It's still a cement brick house, which is expensive."
"That's much more expensive than an adobe house. Cement, steel bars, and bricks are not cheap."
The mud and bamboo plywood used to make the adobe house didn’t fetch much money. Bamboo could be found on the hill behind the village, and mud could also be dug, for just a wage.
Generally speaking, when a house is being built in the village, neighbors are asked to help out and given a meal, so the wages are not much.
