Zhu Xiaomin turned to look at her in surprise, and after finishing the food in her mouth, said:
“Then I’ll build another room, and the kitchen will be built between our two rooms.”
They built two stoves, one for cooking rice and the other for stir-frying vegetables.
Hehe, this way both of our beds will be warm.
Maddie's eyes darted around.
The two troublemakers moved out to live separately, leaving only three female educated youths in the house.
Then wouldn't it be very simple for him to go back?
He was the first to agree with this!
Even Du Zhiyuan, who was standing to the side, agreed after thinking about it.
Anyway, it was their own money to build it, so it didn't bother them. But for the sake of this meal, he still kindly reminded them.
“If you really spend your own money to build it, the finished house won’t belong to you.”
If we ever go back to the city, this house will be part of the village.
You're willing to accept this?
Jiang Wenwan nodded and looked at Zhu Xiaomin.
Zhu Xiaomin thought for a moment and decided to ask about the price first.
"How much would it cost to build a house with a stove?"
Du Zhiyuan glanced at the two of them and said:
"A brick costs one cent. After you build this house, you'll need a few 'Big Reunion' bills."
Zhu Xiaomin thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Wenwan and said:
"Let's ask the brigade leader tomorrow, and we'll build two rooms where we can sleep, they don't need to be very big."
"A small room like that shouldn't be too expensive."
Jiang Wenwan nodded. She knew that the brigade leader was also the village chief, and he would definitely be happy for them to pay for the building themselves.
She roughly estimated it would cost over sixty yuan.
This amount of money is equivalent to two or three months' wages for a factory worker in the city.
A 28-inch bicycle costs over a hundred yuan!
She spent a little over sixty yuan to build a small house with a kitchen; that's not extravagant, is it?
Since it was her own place, she could go into the space every night to practice her skills.
"Okay, I'll ask about it when I go to work tomorrow."
Hu Qinghua could only feel jealous; she only had a little over sixty yuan on her.
I plan to mail the letter tomorrow.
When Zhu Xiaomin went to bed at night, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She was a heavy sleeper and would not wake up if there was any noise.
Jiang Wenwan's habit of waking up startled in her sleep is something she can't break anytime soon.
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
It seemed like someone was scratching at the window.
"Did you hear anything?"
Tan Yumiao huddled under the covers and nudged Feng Chunzao beside her.
Feng Chunzao's head was already covered by the blanket, and you could see the blanket moving slightly.
A muffled voice said:
"Don't be superstitious, let's go to sleep. There are so many people in the house, they won't dare to come in."
"Them? You mean Maddrey and his group?"
Jiang Wenwan sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at the shadows outside the window and occasionally hearing shouts.
It sounded like a tiny baby crying.
The shadow outside the window resembles the shadow of a small hand, and occasionally it also looks like the shadow of a child.
However, she saw a weasel when she went out yesterday.
It's very likely that the weasel is behind it, but why is the weasel specifically outside their house?
Jiang Wenwan looked into the room and saw Hu Qinghua shivering under the covers.
He thought to himself: She can be afraid too?
She took out her flashlight, thinking about what Sister Liu from the restaurant had told her during the day—that they also collected weasel pelts.
Moreover, weasel hair can be used to make wolf hair brushes, which are not expensive, but they still cost money.
She crouched down, put on her shoes, and tiptoed to the door, instinctively drawing her gun.
As soon as she got the gun, she quickly switched to a flashlight.
Carefully unlatch the bolt and open the door a crack. Although it was pitch black at night, the stars in the sky were clearly visible.
Under the starlight and moonlight, she saw a weasel that was entirely yellow.
The weasel, with a mouse in its mouth, happened to turn its head and look at her.
Jiang Wenwan, who was about to make a move, suddenly stopped. This didn't seem so bad after all.
At least it catches mice, so why is it scratching their windows?
Jiang Wenwan walked into the courtyard and looked at the empty space. She went to the window and found some leftover bones there.
I put on gloves, picked up a piece, and looked at it. It was a rabbit bone from the dinner we had that night.
They put bones under their window to attract weasels to pry at their windows.
Jiang Wenwan sneered and waited to see how she would retaliate.
The next day when they went to work, the team leader heard them asking about building houses.
They looked at them with expressions that were hard to describe.
“Building a house is no small matter. Each house plus a stove requires eight family members to reunite. You should think about it yourselves.”
Also, once this house is built, it will be yours here.
If you are not here, the house is not yours.
"Have you thought it through? If you want to build one, I'll find you people and bricks, and also someone who knows how to build a kang (heated brick bed)."
Zhu Xiaomin thought for a moment and nodded.
"It's still within my acceptable range, Gai!"
Jiang Wenwan also said:
"build!"
She immediately understood what the village chief meant.
Anyway, no one will buy the house.
Because once they leave, there will be room for someone to live in, so who would pay to buy it?
Although she knew she would be able to take the college entrance exam and return to the city in two years.
But those two years had to be lived one day at a time. Not being able to enter the space at night caused a lot of delays.
The village chief nodded in approval when he heard their decision.
"Alright, since you've agreed, I'll find someone for you today."
Tan Yumiao had a long face, clearly in a bad mood.
