The next morning, Ning Jing woke up with a start and sat up in bed.
Then he turned around and looked at the ground, only to find that the straw on the ground had long since disappeared.
Fu Hongxing also disappeared without a trace.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake?"
Xiuhua pushed open the door and walked in with a big smile on her face, carrying a bowl in her hand.
The bowl contains corn porridge mixed with sweet potato that I cooked this morning, and some leftover small fish sauce from last night on top.
Xiuhua saw it yesterday; her older brother and sister-in-law both love to eat this.
However, when he got up in the morning, the older brother only drank two bowls of corn porridge and then wiped his mouth and left, without touching the small fish sauce.
It must have been specially reserved for my sister-in-law.
Thinking of what her older brother said before he left, Xiuhua couldn't suppress a smile.
"What's wrong? What's making you so happy?"
Ning Jing twisted her ankle, not broke her arm, so after taking the bowl from Xiu Hua's hand, she casually asked a question.
"My older brother went to the village chief's house to get the permit. After the timber was acquired, he went to the brick factory to order bricks and tiles, and then built two brick and tile houses for the family."
Brick and tile houses? Not many families in the village have the means to build one.
One is that bricks, tiles, and timber all need to be approved, and bricks and tiles need to be ordered from the brick factory.
The timber is fine; every year the village cuts down the trees, dries them, and stores them away specifically for those who need timber to apply for.
After all, freshly cut wood is unusable.
The most important thing is the bricks and tiles. If you want to build two brick and tile houses, you need quite a lot of them, and the total cost will not be cheap.
In the village, how long would it take for the old farmers, who toil in the fields from dawn till dusk, to save up so much money with just a few work points?
At most, they could save a little money, ask the villagers for help, and then build two thatched huts made of yellow mud bricks. The straw on top could be applied for from the village and was almost free.
Even so, it would still cost the family a lot of hard-earned money to build it, and it would be considered quite good if people could move in.
Ning Jing was taken aback by these words, but she wasn't particularly surprised.
After all, Fu Hongxing had already told her about it yesterday.
However, she did not expect Fu Hongxing to act so quickly.
It wasn't until noon that Ning Jing truly understood just how efficient Fu Hongxing was.
Logically, if you go to get the permit in the morning and then go to the brick factory to order bricks and tiles, these things will definitely not arrive in about ten days.
But before lunchtime, there was a knock on their gate.
When Xiuhua opened the door, she saw a group of people helping to haul several carts of bricks and tiles.
Upon seeing Xiuhua, one of the rather thin men ran over.
"Hey girl, is this Brother Fu Hongxing's house?"
Xiuhua was a little stunned when she saw this, then nodded in response.
"Alright, it's good that it's Brother Hongxing's house."
Brothers, hurry up and move all the bricks and tiles inside.
"By the way, be gentle, don't break the bricks and tiles."
When the man saw Xiuhua nod, he immediately turned around and told the others to move the things from the car inside.
Ning Jing limped to the door and looked outside.
Outside, people were working enthusiastically. When Xiuhua saw Ningjing come out, she quickly ran over.
"sister in law!?"
She called out, a little nervous and apprehensive, tugging at Ning Jing's sleeve.
"It's okay. Were you unhappy this morning that your brother wanted to build a house?"
Now that all the materials have arrived, the sooner it's finished, the sooner we can move into our new house.
Ning Jing patted Xiu Hua's hand to comfort her.
