Chapter 49 A Few Broken Pancakes
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Jinnian took out all the steamed buns and placed them on the big rock outside.
There was no other way. How many children could sleep in this shack, and how many people could sit?
The weather outside was also good, so it was most appropriate to eat outside.
"It's time to eat!" She called out, and then asked Lu Jincheng and his sister to bring out the dishes.
There was only one dish, and the family had limited pots, so it was not enough to make this one dish.
It was filled to the brim in a wooden basin, which was usually the same size as the wash basin.
Wild boar meat stewed with radishes, the meat looked quite a lot, with seven or eight radishes.
But no one thought it was bad, on the contrary, they thought it looked like a lot of meat.
There was a layer of oil floating on it, which looked appetizing.
"Come on, come on, eat quickly!" Li Changzhong was not polite at all, and he came up and picked up the steamed bun and ate it, one bite of steamed bun and one bite of meat.
The chopsticks used by everyone were made of local materials, branches.
And there were no bowls, so they ate around the basin. Everyone lived in the shack, and they couldn't see anything clearly, so no one said anything about it.
Seeing that everyone was eating, Lu Jinnian went to sit next to her and ate a small portion of stewed meat with her younger brother and sister. There was not much meat, mainly because she was afraid that someone would complain.
Now they still live in a shack, she doesn't want to attract people's attention. When the house is built and the wall is built, we can close the door and eat whatever we want.
"Brother, when can we build the house?" Lu Jinqiu asked while eating.
He looked at other people's houses, and he also wanted his own house to be built quickly.
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian replied: "Soon, then you will each have a room, and everyone will have their own room."
The most important thing is that she wants her own room, and the others are just by the way.
"Really?" Lu Jinqiu looked at her in surprise, and then said with surprise: "That's great! I have my own room too!"
The others had the same expression. Who doesn't want to have their own little world?
Even if the closest people live together, sometimes it will be inconvenient.
Lu Jincheng looked at everyone happy, but he was still a little melancholy. He didn't know whether he could take the exam or not, and whether he could pass the exam after going.
If we come to an end with nothing, wouldn't that be a disappointment to everyone?
Especially Lu Jinnian, seeing how hard she
worked, she felt bad. The helpers worked very hard throughout the day, mainly because they got paid and had good food.
The adobes were taken off and placed in the yard. Lu Jinnian took a look and estimated that they would have to work on it in the next two days.
It takes more than 1200 yuan to build a house. It requires a lot of adobe bricks.
With the addition of drying, it may take half a month to build a house. During this period, in addition to digging the foundation, the stones must be sorted out.
After the house is built, the courtyard wall must be built. These stones can be left as courtyard walls. They can't be wasted.
Li Changhu was about to leave when he heard Lu Jinnian calling him.
"Uncle Li, wait a minute." Lu Jinnian ran over and said, "I'm sorry to bother you today. This is a little gift from me. You can take it back for aunt and the children."
She was holding a bag of sesame cakes in her hand. This thing can't be seen in the countryside. It's only sold in the city because the method is different.
"No, it's not easy for you, take it back." Li Changhu knew the situation of their family, so why would he accept extra things?
Li Changzhong happened to pass by, and he reached out to take it, "Hey, if you don't want it, then give it to me, I want it..."
Before his hand touched it, Lu Jinnian took it back directly, leaving him empty-handed.
"Hey? You kid." Li Changzhong was unhappy, frowning and looking unhappy.
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian rolled her eyes and stuffed the things into Li Changhu's arms again, "Uncle Li, I'm going back first."
After saying that, she turned around and left without any hesitation.
This really pissed off Li Changzhong, and he said sarcastically, "Aren't they just a few broken sesame cakes? If you don't want them, give them to me, Brother Hu."
He looked at the sesame cakes, and he knew they were delicious just by looking at the crispy crust. He
drooled without realizing it, and raised his hand to wipe it off.
Li Changhu ignored him and went home with his tools.
"Who cares?" Li Changzhong didn't get any benefits, so he smacked his lips unwillingly, and then went home.
At night, while her younger brother and sister were asleep, Lu Jinnian entered the space and fiddled around inside.
She had hoarded a lot of things in the three years of the apocalypse, and there were not many things she could use here.
Now that she was about to have her own home, she felt very happy.
In the past, she only thought about how to survive, how to guard against people's hearts, and how to resist zombies.
Now she can settle down in such a beautiful place, not to mention how comfortable she felt.
She found some thick quilts, and she first pulled off the quilt cover on the outside, and then checked it carefully.
After making sure there were no labels or anything like that, she folded it with confidence.
These quilts are all sewn with needle and thread, and you can't tell anything from the white cloth. There's no use for such things in the future, as long as they are used at home.
In the next few days, Lu Jinnian went hunting in the mountains and helped dig the foundation.
Four houses need to be built, so a large area is needed.
Everyone saw her strength, and even adults who work all day can't compare to her.
"This kid is really capable!"
Li Changhu wiped the sweat from his head. He was a strong man, but he had to admire Lu Jinnian.
He was a little exhausted after digging the pit for two consecutive days and filling it up again.
On the other hand, Lu Jinnian could go hunting after work.
"That's right, my family is too poor, otherwise I would have to find a matchmaker to talk to him about marriage." The man next to him had two daughters at home, both of whom were of marriageable age.
But seeing this poor family, he really didn't dare to let his daughter marry him.
Hearing this, Li Changhu said, "You are wrong. This kid is capable. The family will have enough money in three to five years."
He was quite optimistic about Lu Jinnian. He was hardworking and strong.
"Come on." The man curled his lips and said, "Look, there are two younger brothers. We can't live like this."
In his opinion, if the eldest brother gets married, the wife will have to work hard to support the younger brothers and sisters? In the future, the younger brothers will get married, and they will still need money?
It's impossible for the eldest brother to get married and the others won't get married, right?
Hearing him say this, Li Changhu didn't refute.
It looks like this on the surface, but who knows what will happen in the future?
In this way, time passed quickly. In half a month, the adobe was dry and could be used to build a house.
This time, two more helpers were added. They were all good at building houses. They didn't want to come at first, but the head of the village asked them to come.
When Lu Jinnian heard the news, he saw that it was the head of the village who brought people here.
I didn't expect that the wild boar meat was worth giving, and it could also help find a bricklayer.
