After dinner, Feng Niaoniao and Yun Yi visited Qian Sheng's house again. Jin Jinxiu warmly welcomed them. After all, who wouldn't like a pretty, clean-cut, and sweet-talking girl?
After learning about their idea, Qian Sheng said, "Building a house is fine, but this land belongs to the village. You only have the right to use the house. If you have the opportunity to return to the city in the future, the house will belong to the village."
Feng Niaoniao nodded and said, "We understand, Uncle Qian. We really can't live in the educated youth compound anymore, so we want to build our own house." Seeing Qian Sheng nod, she added, "Uncle Qian, how much does it cost to build a house?"
Qian Sheng paused for a moment and said, "Building an adobe house is cheaper, but if you want to make the adobe bricks yourself, you probably won't be able to start building until the autumn harvest. Everyone will be busy then, and no one will be building houses. Some families in the village will have some adobe bricks to build houses. You can buy some from them. Generally, an adobe brick costs 20 cents or 3 yuan. How big do you plan to build an adobe house?"
Feng Niaoniao and Yun Yi exchanged a glance and said, "Uncle, we want to build a connected house, two rooms each, that is, in addition to the sleeping room, we will add a larger kitchen, so that we can have enough for cooking and eating."
Qian Sheng nodded and said, "Even a room would be fine, that way you can save on the adobe bricks for one wall." He lowered his head and considered for a moment before saying, "I estimate this house will cost around 100 yuan, after all, the adobe bricks, the roof beams, and the thatch on the roof all need to be bought. As for the cost of the workers, how do you want to pay them?"
Feng Niao Niao asked, "What are the prices like in the village?"
Qian Sheng said, "It's usually 30 cents a day for one meal, and that meal must include meat."
Feng Niaoniao and Yun Yi discussed it in hushed tones. Yun Yi said, "Uncle Qian, neither of us are good cooks. How about this, we'll give them 60 cents a day, but we won't provide meals? Is that alright?"
Qian Sheng nodded and said, "That works too." These two people are obviously people who never lift a finger to cook, so they should stop giving medicine to the villagers.
Feng Niaoniao asked, "Uncle Qian, how long does it usually take to build a house like this?"
Qian Sheng: "If you two build your houses together, it should be finished in about a month and a half."
Yun Yi nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Qian, when would you like to take a look at our homestead?"
