11 a.m.
Chen Wang's family of three, three dogs and a little monkey stood together and witnessed their house being demolished into ruins bit by bit by the construction team.
This kind of house, which is mainly made of wood, is not difficult to demolish.
"Brother, just tear it down like that!"
The little girl held Ruyi in her arms and looked at the ruins with a complicated expression.
Chen Wang raised his hand and rubbed her little head, comforting her: "Didn't I say that demolishing the old house and building a new one means that our lives are getting better and better. This is a good thing. Why are you so depressed!"
"Well, that's a good thing!"
The little girl grinned.
Looking around, all that was left was the vegetable garden and pigpen at the back.
According to the plan, part of the vegetable garden will be occupied by then.
There were two boxes of silver dollars buried under the jujube tree next to the pigpen. Chen Wang specifically instructed the construction team not to touch the pigpen and the jujube tree.
The jujube tree and the pigpen are both outside the new house. When the time comes, Chen Wang might take action to make the pigpen better.
"Awang, everything has been dismantled."
Chen Dazhuang walked over with a smile and brushed the dust off his hair.
Just now he and his master both went to help and put in a lot of effort, and together with the dozen people on the construction team, the house was demolished into a pile of scrap wood in less than an hour.
"I won't pay you for your work!"
Chen Wang joked with a smile.
"It's okay, just let me have a bite of food with you at noon."
Chen Dazhuang said with a smile.
"That's no problem. I'll keep you full."
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
There are more than a dozen people in the construction team. Among them, several skilled workers are paid 2 yuan a day, while other workers including Zhao Youfu are paid 1.5 yuan a day, and they are paid by the day they work.
Don’t think this price is low. You should know that the average income of ordinary workers in many factories is only around 50 yuan.
This is a rural area in the mountains, and it is the slack season for farmers.
In addition, Chen Wang also guaranteed a meal at noon every day and a meal of meat once a week.
With such conditions, other families would not be able to build houses, and it is good enough if you can have something to eat.
Chen Wang also promised that after the house was built, as long as he was satisfied, he would give the construction team a bonus and let them distribute it freely.
At this time, members of the construction team were cleaning up and carrying away the garbage after the house was demolished.
"I was wrong. Zhao Youfu is really willing to work hard."
Chen Dazhuang stood next to Chen Wang and said while looking at the busy scene ahead.
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
He saw it too.
Not only Zhao Youfu, but other members of the construction team are also willing to work hard.
“Awang!!”
A middle-aged man wearing a helmet walked over quickly.
This is the captain of the construction team. His name is Chen Qishan. He used to work on construction sites outside for a few years. After returning to his hometown a few years ago, he set up such a construction team in the village.
"Uncle Shan, what's wrong?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
"I'm here to tell you that I haven't eaten for several mornings. You should start preparing lunch. Everyone will work better if they are well fed."
"No problem. Then you can organize a few people to help me build a simple stove with bricks."
"Okay, this is easy!"
Chen Qishan nodded readily in agreement, then went over to call for help.
The big iron pot at home was not moved there either. It had been moved out and placed next to it before the house was demolished.
Building a stove only takes a few minutes for the construction team.
"Wife, let's get ready. You see what ingredients are needed and I'll go get them from the house over there. Pick any vegetables that can be used from the yard in the back."
Chen Wang looked at Lin Xiuqin standing beside him and said.
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile and made a few gestures, indicating that she and the little girl should go over and get the ingredients.
"That's fine. Then I'll go get some water with Da Zhuang, and then pick some vegetables from the yard."
After the discussion, the four of them went their separate ways.
After they got everything ready, the construction team set up the stove and put the iron pot on it.
The wood from the dismantled house could be used as firewood. Chen Wang lit the stove and put a bucket of water into the iron pot to clean it.
My daughter-in-law was kneading the dough that had been let rise in the morning, preparing to steam a pot of plump, white buns.
There was also a piece of bacon next to it, and I planned to stew it with cabbage, radish and vermicelli.
Today is the first day, so naturally we have to let the construction team members have something good to eat.
When they were almost done, Chen Wang gave the little girl ten yuan and asked her to go to the convenience store and ask Lao Qian to bring two bottles of beer. She could use the extra money to buy some snacks.
The little girl was naturally happy to do such a profitable errand job. She took her three dogs and the little monkey and ran to the store like the wind.
After working until half past 12, the steamed buns and dishes were ready. Chen Wang also went to the rented house and brought back the bowls and chopsticks.
"Everyone, let's eat!!"
The little girl yelled.
When the people from the construction team heard the shouting, they all came over with smiles on their faces.
Their bodies were covered with dust, and some of them even had black faces, but that did not affect their happy mood to eat.
Someone had already smelled the fragrance just now.
"Everyone, wash your hands here first."
Chen Wang brought a large basin of clean water and placed it next to him, with a ladle in it.
"White flour buns and stewed meat. They gave us such good food on the first day!"
"As expected of Awang, so generous!"
