Chapter 114: Building a New Home
"Yes, I was a craftsman before!"
Although Wu Zhang didn't understand what Chen Xue meant, he still answered honestly.
"I bought your things. I can give you clothes and food."
"only……"
Wu Zhang was originally very happy, but after hearing the next sentence, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"It's just that we still want to ask you some questions. We won't get the answers to these questions for free. We will pay for them."
"no problem."
Wu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was nothing, just a few questions. Compared to staying alive, a few questions were too simple.
Afterwards, Chen Xue really bought the things the man brought, and the man only wanted clothes or food and didn't want any money at all.
Chen Xue naturally had no objection, on the contrary it saved her money.
After getting the things, Wu Zhang bowed respectfully to Chen Xue, wanting to send the things back first and then come back.
Chen Xue agreed, and after the man left, she got into the carriage, then returned to the space and brought his parents out.
"Dad, there will be a man who can build a bamboo house. We can ask him about the problems we encounter."
Lord Chen nodded. If they wanted to build a bamboo house in the space, they could only rely on themselves. No one else could be trusted. After all, the space was her daughter's biggest secret and could not be known to outsiders.
Even the young doctor accepted by Chen Xue, Yang Xiaohua, was not kept by Chen Xue's side, because she did not fully trust him.
But the maid Xiaodie was different. She had been through trials, so they accepted her.
In short, the secret of space cannot be known to more people for the time being, so many things have to rely on themselves.
"Xiaoxue, just pretend that you saw a bamboo house before and are curious about its structure, so you want to know more about it. This excuse should be enough to fool people for now."
"OK."
Several people then discussed what questions to ask.
On the other side, Wu Zhang happily returned to his wife and daughter.
"This is……"
When Mrs. Wu saw her husband coming back with so many things, she was immediately delighted and shocked, and the little girl also ran over happily to greet him.
"Be careful, don't fall!"
Wu Zhang gave a reminder, and then told Mrs. Wu what had happened.
Wu was silent for a few seconds, then said solemnly, "What we have is not worth so much. We have no way to repay the Chen family's kindness."
After she finished speaking, she looked at her husband and said, “Whatever the Chen family asks, you should answer honestly. Don’t talk nonsense and be lied to, otherwise we will be very ungrateful.”
"I know."
Wu Zhang nodded, he thought so too.
After all, he had hit a wall once, and only the Chen family gave him hope, how could he not be grateful?
"What's this?"
“Ah, it’s Rourou!”
The little girl curiously looked through the things Wu Zhang brought back, and she saw a piece of meat and screamed with joy.
Wu Zhang and the other man were also attracted over. He didn't check at all at that time because he knew that his things were not worth that much. He had already taken two sets of clothes and collected food.
Therefore, he was afraid that the Chen family would go back on their word, so he didn't dare to check it in front of them. Anyway, the two sets of clothes were worth more than his things.
Unexpectedly, there were strips of meat inside, wrapped in oil paper, so he couldn't tell what it was at the time.
"No, this is too precious!"
Mrs. Wu said without hesitation, but Wu Zhang was a little hesitant. Logically, he should send her back, but when he thought of his wife and daughter, he hesitated.
The weather is getting colder now. If we don’t eat more food, it will be easy to get sick, especially since my wife and daughter are so thin. How can we survive until we reach Nanman?
Especially the longing look in his daughter's eyes as she looked at the dried meat made his heart ache.
Seeing her husband's expression, Mrs. Wu immediately understood what he was thinking. "I know what you're thinking, but we got a piece of dried meat, but it's setting a bad example for the child. What do you want the girl to do in the future..."
"Although we are now exiled, the girl is still young and has a future and opportunities. We..."
Mrs. Wu became a little excited as she spoke, and Wu Zhang quickly comforted her, "I understand. I just lost my mind for a moment. I will return the dried meat now."
His wife was right. He should set a good example for his daughter instead of letting her go further astray.
Chen Xue and her family soon waited for Wu Zhang, and saw him handing over the dried meat, saying that it was too precious. The value of the two pieces of clothing was several times that of his basket.
Chen Xue didn't take it, nor did she say anything like "I'll give it to you." Instead, she said directly, "Then consider it as payment for asking us questions!"
Wu Zhang was silent, then shook his head. "Just a few questions, naturally not as precious as the dried meat."
After several excuses, Chen Xue stopped persuading him and directly asked about the problems encountered in building the bamboo house.
Of course, the excuse was what they had agreed on beforehand.
Although Wu Zhang was confused, he did not ask too many questions, but told them everything he knew.
Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, technology was relatively secretive in ancient times. They thought Wu Zhang would not tell them, but they didn't expect him to be so cooperative.
Moreover, Chen Xue asked a question, and Wu Zhang, in order to express his gratitude, directly told her how to build a bamboo house.
Seeing this, Chen Xue secretly took out a recorder and recorded Wu Zhang's words, and then asked some key questions that should be avoided.
Wu Zhang stopped talking until his mouth was dry and he stopped talking.
Finally, when he was leaving, Chen Xue handed over the dried meat, and then planned to give him other food as a reward, but Wu Zhang refused. He only took the dried meat and left.
“This guy is good!”
Upon seeing this, Lord Chen nodded and said that if there was a chance, he could recruit this person for his own use.
After all, once we get to Nanman, we have to start from scratch. If they provide houses, that's fine. If not, there will be someone who can build houses, so we will have a place to live when the time comes.
But now, he was afraid of forgetting what Wu Zhang said, so he quickly asked Chen Xue to send him back to the space, and he hurried to build the bamboo house.
Chen Xue naturally went in to help, and because Wu Zhang explained it in great detail, starting from laying the foundation, he explained every detail.
More importantly, Chen Xue had already recorded it using a recorder, so they played it back while they were building the bamboo house.
It is like someone is giving instructions and they just need to follow.
Sure enough, it was easier to have someone guide you than to figure it out on your own, and they quickly built a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
There were exactly four of us, one room each.
The house is built, so you don’t have to worry about beds, tables, and chairs. You can just use what’s already there.
Then Chen Xue hung up the curtains, put in place the tables, chairs and wardrobe, and an exquisite room soon appeared.
The rooms are side by side. The first room on the left is Xiaodie's, the middle one is Chen Xue's, the innermost one is Mr. Chen and his wife's, and the middle one is the living room and dining area.
On the right is the kitchen and food storage area.
With the efforts of everyone, we soon had a home in the space.
“This is what home looks like.”
Chen Xue was lying on the bed, and couldn't help but sigh that the space had changed a lot now.
It's like living in the countryside, surrounded by fields, vegetable plots, and lakes, with smoke rising from the small houses, creating a peaceful picture.
