After Xu Guangtian went home to pack his things, he went to the brigade headquarters to get a letter of introduction, but he still hadn't recovered.
Would it be good to go to the city? Of course! There's plenty to eat and drink.
But the premise is that we need Xu Xiangyang, because if there are more people, the cost of food will be higher.
He was worried, but seeing his son's determined look, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to refute him.
When Liu Hai saw that the couple was going to the city, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, Xu Xiangyang has a house in the city, so it's normal for him to move there. I'm suddenly so envious...
"Stay put and don't cause any trouble for your Xiangyang family," he instructed, mainly because the other party had helped the team before.
"Definitely, definitely." Xu Guangtian nodded with a smile, then left with the letter of introduction.
The family pushed a cart and walked for an entire afternoon before finally reaching the city.
The main problem is that the road is difficult to walk on, and the cart is too heavy with goods, so it can't be pushed very fast.
Xu Xiangyang and Xu Guangtian took turns pushing the cart along the way, because Wang Zhongshan's legs were not very strong to begin with, so he didn't need their help.
"What a big yard!" Grandma Wang exclaimed when she saw how big the yard was, with a large open space.
Xu Xiangyang said with a smile, "We'll build another house in a few days, and we'll squeeze in for the next few days."
There are two large rooms in the house, but they are not enough to accommodate everyone. He has a lot of secrets, and it wouldn't be good for him to share a room with anyone else.
As long as you have money in your pocket, you can build a house anytime.
He hadn't thought of these things before, and now he didn't know if it was too late to do them.
Xu Xiangyang's words surprised everyone, after all, this was not as simple as just building a latrine (a rural toilet).
"Xiangyang, this house is big enough for us, why are you building anything else?" Xu Guangtian was a little worried, after all, they needed to eat food here, which was money.
Wang Zhongshan, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "We should build a house. Xiangyang will need to live there after he gets married in a couple of years. We'll have to build one sooner or later. It's better to build it sooner rather than later. I happen to have some money."
He had some savings, which he originally planned to use for Xu Xiangyang's wedding, but the child was only nineteen, so there was no rush. Building a house would also be fine.
Xu Xiangyang wouldn't use his money, but he wasn't in a hurry, so he didn't refuse.
He'll buy the things when the time comes, and even if Wang Zhongshan wants the money, he'll have nowhere to use it.
He had already made up his mind; he wouldn't need to bother anyone else anyway.
The room is fully furnished, including a new sewing machine.
"When did you buy a sewing machine? Can you sew clothes?" Wang Xiumin touched the new sewing machine, her eyes full of joy.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "I don't know how to make clothes, but you do, right? This is for you, but it's too big, so I didn't have time to send it home last time."
Women generally like these things, and Wang Xiumin is no exception.
Xu Xiangyang set up a small single bed in the living room, planning to stay there for the time being.
Everyone wanted him to stay in the house, but there was only one bed, and it was a single bed, so it wouldn't be suitable for anyone to stay there.
Since there was grain in the warehouse, there was no need to worry about that. Xu Xiangyang prepared some vegetables, which he didn't have in his space, so he had to buy them at the vegetable market.
"Everything costs money in the city, even vegetables have to be bought," Grandma Wang sighed as she cooked.
Anyway, she didn't really like city life. If it weren't for her daughters and the rest of the family being here, she would have gone home long ago.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything when he heard her words. Life always requires getting used to, and you'll get used to it.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, he got up early and went to find people to arrange for the construction of the house.
You have to register with the local street office before you can build a house; otherwise, they will fine you and prevent you from building.
Who to hire to build the house is a problem.
Xu Xiangyang first went to Yan Laosan's workplace, since he knew many people.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, Yan Laosan's eyes flashed with surprise. How long has it been? The house was sold, and now he wants to build another one?
“Brother, I can find someone, but the wages…” He stopped halfway through his sentence.
The main concern is that Xu Xiangyang might not know the current price and could find it too expensive.
Xu Xiangyang said nonchalantly, "Third Brother, I trust you to handle things. Just talk to the workers and I'll pay them later."
Yan Laosan is a good person, and he asked for help himself. If you don't trust him, what will happen?
When Yan Laosan heard this, his heart was filled with warmth. He would be letting down this trust if he didn't do a good job for him!
"Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely get this done for you!" He patted his chest confidently and made his promise.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Third Brother, see you tomorrow."
The two of them settled on this, and Yan Laosan went to find the person after work.
Everything else was easy to handle. There were unfinished houses in the space, with many red and blue bricks, as well as hollow bricks.
Xu Xiangyang took out some red bricks, loaded them into the car, and then drove home.
A lot of things were dismantled in the yard, and the roof beams were all there too, but the roof tiles were hard to remove.
I couldn't find it in the store, so I had to buy it elsewhere.
This thing is easy to get, you just need to go to the brick kiln. But it's also hard to get, you need to get a certificate and then wait in line.
At that time, although there weren't many people building houses, there were still some, but the work was slow and it would take at least a month to get a spot.
Xu Xiangyang thought about it for a moment and decided to go ahead with the schedule, since a month would be enough for this place.
I had to go to the street office to get a letter of introduction, and then go to the brick kiln to order a set. The total cost wasn't much, but it took a lot of effort.
That's how things are these days. No matter what you're doing, you need a letter of introduction. It's not just because of building a house that things are so troublesome.
The next morning, Yan Laosan arrived with his men and was quite surprised to see the contents of the courtyard.
However, they were there to work, so they didn't say much.
A group of people were working hard, and the foundation had to be redone, all by hand, so the process was bound to be slower.
Xu Xiangyang saw Xu Guangtian working alongside him and didn't stop him.
Anyway, more people will make the process faster. If he's doing it in his yard, then let him do it.
Grandma Wang cooked a meal for everyone at noon. Of course, it wasn't anything fancy; the dishes were just cabbage stewed with potatoes and the like, no meat dishes.
Even though they came to work, Xu Xiangyang paid them wages. Whether they got meat or not was nobody's problem; as long as they were full, they were fine.
That night, Xu Guangtian was so exhausted he couldn't straighten his back. Xu Xiangyang thought he was pushing himself too hard.
"Dad, you're working too hard. It's unnecessary. Don't ruin your health," he reminded him. Health is the foundation of everything.
Xu Guangtian didn't care at all, "If I do more, they'll do less. Over time, they'll work one less day, which saves them a day's wages."
Xu Xiangyang didn't reply. If he had realized this earlier, wouldn't he have been able to save up anything?
