Chapter 84 Open
In addition to the bricklayer, we also need to find a few laborers.
But compared to bricklayers, small ones are easier to find and they pay less.
Compared to farm work in the countryside, it is naturally more cost-effective to help others do the work.
The carpenters and bricklayers in the production team, as well as those who had crafts at home, all lived a little better than the average person.
Once the people are in place, we can start building the house.
According to the market price of building houses in that era, the salary of a bricklayer was one yuan, and the salary of a small worker was 80 cents.
In addition, have another meal at noon.
This is not difficult. Just hire seven or eight people to work, and Lu Wan can prepare meals for the extra eight people at noon.
Finding people is not difficult either, because there are few people building houses, and everyone is vying for the work.
As soon as Su Zhenhua went out, he quickly found all the people he needed.
There were four bricklayers, and Xiao found only one extra one. The rest were Su Zhendong and the Su Zhenlin brothers.
Asking outsiders for help is definitely not as reliable as asking your own brothers for help.
And when it comes to lucrative jobs, it’s definitely better to let your brothers earn the money.
However, regarding Su Zhenhua's offer of help, Su Zhendong and Su Zhenlin felt that helping each other between brothers would hurt feelings if money was discussed.
It's just a favor, it's nothing, I don't want any money.
When Zhao Mei saw that Su Zhendong refused to accept the money, she immediately started to curse at him, "Are you stupid? This man does not accept money for his work. Are you a living Bodhisattva?"
Because Su Zhenhua was next to him, Su Zhendong quickly gave Zhao Bomei a hint with his eyes.
However, Zhao 냫mei ignored him at all, "What's the matter? I didn't say anything wrong. Who would you work for without getting paid?
Who will do something for free?
If you have this spare time, you might as well go out and earn some more money so that you can bring back more food for me and the children.
You can't even take care of your own family, and you still want to help others? ”
Su Zhendong lowered his voice and said, "How can this be the same? It's not okay to help outsiders, my brother is one of our own!
How can you charge money for doing a small favor among family members? ”
In fact, the main reason why Su Zhendong was unwilling to accept the money was that before the family was divided, the entire family was supported by Su Zhenhua.
If Su Zhenhua hadn't gone up the mountain to hunt and sell game, life at home wouldn't have been so easy.
If his younger brother needs any help now, it's okay for him, as his older brother, to lend a hand.
Zhao 냫mei snorted coldly, "You are a good person!
They say even brothers settle accounts clearly, but you don't.
I won't say anything if you take advantage of me, but I'm just thinking about being at a disadvantage!
Isn't the other person richer than you? Do you need to save money for him? His family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet, yet he still does such a disadvantageous thing. ”
"You..." Su Zhendong felt even more embarrassed when he saw Zhao Mei talking in front of Su Zhenhua without any reservation.
Su Zhenhua naturally didn't want to make things difficult for his elder brother, so he said, "Brother, sister-in-law, our family planned to pay for the money from the beginning. After all, we have to pay for asking outsiders for help, and there is no reason not to pay for asking our own brothers for help.
Besides, building a house is not a one- or two-day thing. It will probably take one or two months, and I can't ask my eldest and second brothers to help for free. ”
"Brother, Brother, if you are not willing to accept the money, then I can only ask outsiders for help."
Seeing Su Zhenhua say this, Su Zhendong and Su Zhenlin were willing to accept the money.
Zhao 냫mei's expression looked a little better.
Eighty cents a month is twenty-four dollars.
After the family split up, the eldest son didn't have much money.
Now I have to buy pots, pans, and utensils, and my money is almost used up.
If we don’t add a little more income, we won’t be able to survive.
During the time when they were building the house, her husband could always earn some money to supplement the family income.
Lu Wan wanted to finish building the new house as soon as possible and move in sooner, so she and Su Zhenhua quickly arranged the start-up matters.
The news that the couple wanted to build a house, a brick and tile house, of course, spread quickly throughout the production team.
The production team was so small that any little gossip would become known to everyone.
Knowing that they were going to build a new house, no one thought much about it.
After all, everyone knows Lu Wan's conditions and strength.
Their family is so rich, shouldn't it be easy to build a house?
However, many men envied Su Zhenhua. He was so lucky that not only did he marry a beautiful woman, but his family conditions were also so good.
If they had married Lu Wan, they could have lived a good life like Su Zhenhua.
Because of the house construction, Su Zhenhua felt that he should be more relaxed when working with other people.
With him around, people won't be lazy while working.
Of course, the most important thing is that if there is any problem, he is there and can deal with it in time.
By personally watching the construction process, you can see how the house is built, and if there are any shortcomings or deficiencies, you can make changes immediately.
Besides, he could save a small fee by doing the work himself.
Everything was arranged, and the trip started soon on this side.
The first step is to lay the foundation, and after the foundation is laid, it is time to build the house.
Zhao Mei felt very upset when she knew that she would have to move out because her husband was going to build a new house.
It seems that the houses of this old lady are getting better and better.
The gap between the rooms will get bigger in the future. How can she be willing?
What else can I do if I am unwilling?
They don't have the money to build a house.
Let alone building a brick and tile house, there is no condition to even build a few adobe houses.
Lu Wan had been busy all morning and had to go back to prepare lunch and cook for the people.
After working for a whole morning, everyone was exhausted.
Lu Wan was not a stingy person, and she did not treat people unfairly in terms of food.
The staple food is steamed multi-grain rice.
The dishes are all seasonal vegetables. Although there are no meat dishes, Lu Wan puts a lot of oil and water in each dish.
Plus, she’s a good cook, and people always praise the food she eats.
Compared with the meals provided by other families, the meals prepared by Lu Wan are much better.
People can eat well and have enough to eat, so they are naturally more motivated.
Fang was busy for a week and finally laid the foundation.
The most important step in building a house is laying the foundation.
Only when the foundation is solid can the house be built well.
If the foundation is not solid, there will be problems with the back of the house.
After a week, Lu Wan gradually became more familiar with these people.
I saw that everyone was working very hard and it was easy to get along with them. Lu Wan discussed it with Su Zhenhua, "Su Zhenhua, I want to go to the county town tomorrow and buy some meat.
We haven't had any meat for a long time.
꺲People are working very hard. I was thinking of buying some meat to give everyone a treat. What do you think? ”
Of course, giving people something good to eat is one thing, but the main thing is to make something delicious for Su Zhenhua.
