Chapter 16 Preparing to Build a House
Walking on the deserted path, Tang Yue is lonely at this moment. At this age, she has no relatives and no friends. When you meet her on the train, she approaches him with ulterior motives. You treat him as a friend, but he treats you as a love rival. Looking at the moon in the sky, you tell yourself that you don't need many friends, one or two are precious enough, but you haven't met them yet. The only person who can be your friend is someone else. Think about whether this is self-deception.
I returned to the dormitory, locked the door, and went directly into the space, walked into the courtyard, and went to the kitchen, preparing to boil water for a hot bath.
Tang Yue walked to the kitchen, took paper and pen from the warehouse, sat on the stone bench, and drew a rough sketch of the house. Tang Yue planned to build three rooms with two doors. The living room would be the entrance from the door. The living room would be divided into two in the middle. The front would be for eating and entertaining guests, and a kitchen would be built in the back with a stove and a door leading to the backyard. The house would be kept in the back, and the toilet would be built against the wall in the backyard. The firewood shed would also be built in the back against the kitchen wall. When building the wall, another door would be left in the backyard so that people could enter directly from the back door.
Open a door to the left from the front hall, and the bedroom is behind the door. Open a window on the wall facing the backyard, and also open a window on the front wall. Then use glass so that the room doesn't appear too dark. I have no connections here and can't buy glass, so the team leader should build a kang in the house, next to three walls, just opposite the stove, with a wall in the middle. In a room, the kang for sleeping occupies one-third.
Open a door on the left side of the bedroom, use the room inside as a storage room, open a window on the wall facing the backyard, and put a row of shelves on each of the three walls facing the backyard. The house will be built like this first. There must also be a well in the front yard and a vegetable sink. A well is required, and it will take 10 minutes to walk to the nearest well. Let the team leader discuss with Uncle Li how many doors are needed.
After drawing the blueprint, Tang Yue ignored it and went into the kitchen to fetch hot water into the bedroom. She put away the bathtub she bought outside and took a comfortable bath. After taking a bath, she remembered that she had not fed the pigs, cows, sheep, and rabbits. She controlled her mind to feed all of them and put honey in the bottle. Seeing that the crops were ripe, Tang Yue controlled her mind to harvest them all.
This time I harvested a lot of sugarcane and sugar beets, which I will boil into brown sugar when I have time. This time I plan to plant half rice and half wheat, and plan to plant more rice and flour to sell later. After planting, I will prepare to go to bed. I don’t want to sleep outside today. I haven’t slept in her big carved bed for a long time. I will pamper it tonight.
The next morning, Tang Yue woke up very early, and went out after tidying up the space. She steamed buns this morning, boiled two pheasant eggs picked up yesterday, and poured a glass of milk. She had a very rich meal this morning and was full. After eating, she packed up and prepared to go to work.
Today's task is to turn over the sweet potato vines. If the vines are turned over, small sweet potatoes will not grow on them, and all the nutrients will be supplied to the sweet potatoes in the soil. As usual, one acre is eight work points. Thinking of the three hundred yuan I gave to you yesterday, I instantly got motivated again. I must earn back the three hundred yuan.
Tang Yue felt that she was a Pixiu, she only thought about getting in without thinking about going out. At the beginning, she was not skilled so she moved slowly, but as she became more skilled, her speed increased.
Fortunately, the members of the team would not be unhappy because Tang Yue earned more work points. It was really too much. There was always more work points in the Northeast. They could not earn enough and would only think that this person was capable.
As soon as I got on the job, I worked on one acre of land. Growing sweet potato vines was much easier than weeding. Since it was still early, I didn't want to claim any more land, so I registered with the scorer and went to the brigade headquarters to find the brigade leader.
The team leader and the village cadres were all inside. After Tang Yue gave the blueprint to the team leader, she waited to see if there were any problems. The team leader did not look at it first, but took out a note and a proof of homestead. The note was for a payment of 300 yuan.
The team leader is really fair. In the novels I read before, the team leaders were corrupt and even bullied the female educated youth. But there is no such thing here. All the village cadres are fair, and the work points of the team are valuable, so there is no need for this. Anyway, Tang Yue has never heard anyone say bad things about them.
After reading the blueprint, the team leader said, "If you want to dig more wells, the money may not be enough. One well will cost at least a hundred yuan."
Tang Yue heard the captain say, "Uncle, when I come to work next day, bring another hundred yuan."
"Okay, that should be about the same."
Tang Yue was ready to go back when she saw that she had nothing to do. Halfway through, she remembered that she didn't have enough furniture, so she went to Uncle Li's house to order some.
Thinking of the kang in the new home, which is four meters long and three meters wide, there are only two kang cabinets on the bed. My obsessive-compulsive disorder can't stand it, so I have to arrange another one to make it tidy. There is also a dressing table and a drying rack in the yard. I also ordered five dustpans, which are good for drying things. Seeing some small love baskets on the side, Tang Yue also ordered five, and three shelves for the storage room.
After deciding to order something, Tang Yue went straight to Uncle Li's house. Uncle Li was old and no longer worked. He worked as a carpenter at home all day. He could order things. If he had them, he would pay a deposit of five yuan and move in after the house was built.
After passing Uncle Li's door, Tang Yue went straight back to the dormitory of the educated youth. She wanted to eat braised pork today, but it was inconvenient to cook it outside, so Tang Yue mixed a bowl of wild vegetables outside and entered the space instantly.
Take a piece of pork belly from the warehouse, go directly into the kitchen and chop it into small pieces, light a fire first, then put onion, ginger, garlic and cooking wine in water, rinse it with cold water, heat the pot, heat the oil, put in a few rock candies, fry the sugar color, then put the meat in, add some salt and spices, stir-fry over high heat for a while, then add water and simmer for 10 minutes, wait another 10 minutes and you can eat it, go to the warehouse to get a bowl of rice and put it on the stone table.
I fed the pigs, cattle, sheep and rabbits with my mind, and found that many rabbits were pregnant again. I threw them all into the orchard and was too lazy to take care of them. When winter came, I stayed at home and had nothing to do, so I learned how to knead and make leather. Next time I paired them, I specifically paired white with white. The next rabbit born would most likely be white, so I could make a white cloak then, which would definitely look nice.
I heard that deerskin is waterproof for boots, so when winter comes, I will ask if anyone has deerskin and exchange it for a piece to make boots. After feeding the chickens, ducks and geese with my mind, I found two duck eggs. The eggs had not been picked up a long time ago, but they didn't want to hatch them. Finally, Tang Yue had no choice but to pick them all up. When the old hen wanted to sit on a nest, she would choose a few eggs for it to sit on a nest.
Seeing the time, the meat was almost ready, so she put it in a bowl and brought it to the stone table. Tang Yue was very satisfied with this meal. When she was tired of the meat, she had some wild vegetables to freshen her taste. After she finished eating all the wild vegetables, most of the meat was still left, which she put away to eat in the evening. She went to the bedroom, took her watch from under the pillow, and found that it was still early, so she prepared to go to sleep.
It was almost two o'clock when Tang Yue woke up, packed herself up and took some water with her, and hurried to the team headquarters. She first gave the team leader 100 yuan and collected his note. Then she heard the team leader say that they would start digging the foundation tomorrow. Tang Yue didn't know how to build the house, so she gave it to the team leader. When it was almost time to start work, Tang Yue came. Today, Tang Yue worked as usual and didn't leave until he finished working two acres.
Back at the dormitory for educated youths, Tang Yue carried two buckets to get water. It was not too late to water the vegetables, otherwise they would be sunburned to death. The seedlings had just sprouted, so she ignored them a little and finished the work quickly.
Tang Yue stood up and looked around. There was nothing in the backyards on both sides except the firewood bought in the firewood shed. There was no yard to grow vegetables. She was so lazy. Could she still rely on her parents' subsidy for her whole life? Tang Yue shook her head and didn't care about them.
Tang Yue went out the door with the basket on her back, locked it, and went to the farm. She dug up half a basket of wild vegetables and came back, leaving some for her to eat and chopping the rest up and mixing with some bran to feed the chickens. These two chickens were always forgotten by Tang Yue, so she wanted to give them something good to eat today.
When Tang Yue was picking wild vegetables in the yard, Zhao Yingying and Zhu Xiaoqin were whispering to each other. They didn't know that Tang Yue had very sharp ears and heard everything they said clearly, "Look how miserable she is without any support from her parents. She eats wild vegetables every day and her face turns green from eating so much."
Tang Yue ignored her and pretended she didn't hear. They didn't know how expensive wild vegetables were in the past life. Now they don't have to buy them and can eat as much as they want. They don't understand my pleasure.
Tang Yue returned to the house, chopped the wild vegetables into fine pieces, added a little flour, cracked four eggs into the mixture, put in some salt, added some water and mixed it, then made wild vegetable cakes to eat. First, heat up the pan, add a little oil, use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of the vegetables into the pan, and slowly fry until both sides are golden brown. Soon, a full pot of wild vegetable cakes was fried, which was really fragrant.
First lock the door, then put the cake on the table, and then bring the meat from the space. It's so delicious that your mouth is full of oil. The only thing missing is the soup. I'll remember it next time.
After dinner and a shower, Tang Yue washed and hung up the clothes. She didn't want to enter the space today, so she used her mental power to enter the space and feed the animals before coming back. She didn't go to bed so early at night and couldn't sleep. She thought about finding something to do, so she got up and kneaded the noodles. She took a handful of spinach from the space, squeezed the juice, and kneaded it with the noodles. She would eat green steamed buns tomorrow. It was a good idea.
Put the noodles on the dining table and let them rise naturally. Tomorrow morning, just put them on and steam them. Now I can finally fall asleep. I can just lie on the bed, close my eyes and fall asleep.
The next day, Tang Yue woke up at six o'clock. It was a bit late today, so she boiled water and put the steamer on. She cut the noodles into small pieces and put them in the steamer. Then she prepared to go to the backyard to brush her teeth and wash her face.
After washing my face, I applied lotion and sunscreen, filled the kettle with spiritual water, and when I was ready, I saw that time was running out, so I wrapped three steamed buns in oil paper. They were not big, so I planned to take them with me on the way to work. I put the rest into the space, locked the door, and ate the buns while walking.
