Chapter 204: Having Many Children Is a Debt
Chu Xue had actually prepared herself for the fact that she couldn't dig a well here. After all, the place she chose was at the end of the village but the terrain was high: "If we dig a well at this location, we have to dig a deep well."
The man laughed and said, "No need. I've checked. It should be able to get out of the water at most eight or nine meters."
Seeing Chuxue still had doubts, she explained: "Although your home is high, there is a mountain behind you. It happens to be an anticline here, so the probability of water coming out from that location is higher."
After the location was decided, the man told Uncle Liangzi and the others some precautions: "That's basically it. We will stay at the construction site over the reservoir for the next half month. If you encounter something you can't solve, just come find me. I'm Tao Sujun."
Chu Xue knew that asking for money might make people unhappy, so she asked Liu's mother to go back to the old house in advance and bring over a few cans of mushroom meat sauce she had made earlier: "Thank you so much for making this trip. I don't have anything good at home. This is the mushroom meat sauce I made the day before yesterday. Take it with you. Add a spoonful when you eat noodles. It goes well with rice."
Tao Sujun did not refuse and took it with a smile: "Then I will accept it. I left in such a hurry that I didn't prepare anything. Even if I can't get used to the food on the construction site, this meat sauce will help me to last until the end of the work. Thank you so much."
Chu Xue smiled and said, "The reservoir is not far from our village anyway. If you have finished eating, send someone over and I will make some other side dishes for you. I will make sure you can hold on until you finish your work."
Tao Sujun looked at Chu Xue who was very generous and thought: No wonder that guy asked him for help in such a hurry, it seems that he really cares about this little girl.
After sending the people away, Uncle Liangzi also prepared to recruit soldiers to start digging.
Chuxue stopped him and said, "Uncle Liangzi, the house, slope protection and ridges have all been completed. I will pay them all for the previous work first. After all, we won't need so many people to dig the well next time. It's not easy for everyone, and I will feel relieved if I get the money."
Some people were very happy when they heard Chuxue's words.
After all, many families are unable to pay the labor costs immediately after building a house, and it is common for them to be in arrears.
In fact, the wages are not that much. After all, except for the bricklayers and the self-employed workers who build houses in the village, the others are people with good relationships in the village who come to help or repay favors. Those are just debts of favor and do not need to be counted as wages.
It’s not that Chuxue doesn’t want to give it, but the rules cannot be broken. However, she has already discussed with her parents and will steam some pure white flour buns and sugar buns and send a few to each family as a thank you gift.
That night, Chuxue went to the branch secretary to get a letter of introduction.
She got up early the next day, had a quick bite and left the village. She had to catch the morning bus to the city.
This way you can catch the afternoon bus back and don't have to spend the night in the city.
During the period of building the house, Chuxue would go up the mountain when she was not busy, and occasionally bring back a rabbit or a chicken to eat, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she did not bring them home frequently, and most of them were thrown into the mountain in space by her.
I thought that after moving to the new house, I wouldn't have to be so careful. After all, it has its own door and yard and is far away from other houses. Even if I want to eat something delicious, I don't have to worry too much.
This time when she went to Beijing, she also wanted to exchange the goods in the space for some necessary bills.

Beijing Bearing Factory Family Courtyard
Zhang Yurong got up early in the morning and asked, "Mom, where is the fish Yancheng brought back a few days ago?"
Mother Fu didn't know what to say for a moment, but it was impossible to hide this matter: "Your second brother came back yesterday and said that your second sister-in-law is pregnant again."
Zhang Yurong was not stupid, she understood immediately: "How long has she been pregnant? She couldn't stand the smell of fish when she first got pregnant, so why were they all taken away?"
Mother Fu coughed lightly and said, "This is not the place where they go to the countryside. It's not far from the North Suburb Farm. I asked him to bring some to Yanyan."
Okay, so that’s how it is.
Mother Fu also knew that she shouldn't let the second son take it all, but the second son said that the cured fish was rare and he wanted to give it to others or to negotiate for it to be exchanged. What could she, as a mother, say? Having too many children is really a debt.
Zhang Yurong knew that if she said more, it would only make her mother-in-law unhappy, so she might as well take a step back: "It's okay, Mom, I just asked casually. The conditions in the countryside are already difficult, so it's reasonable for them to take more away."
