Chapter 27 My House
One day after the beginning of winter, Shu found time to talk to Grandpa Liu and asked him what he thought about the division of the family.
"Let's just say it's this year. When the team distributes the food next year, we can separate. You don't have to worry about anything else. Just build the house now. It won't be a problem."
Seeing Shu worried, Grandpa Liu comforted her softly and told her about his and his wife's private plans so that she didn't have to worry about the family affairs.
"That's fine. I'm off duty, Grandpa, please help me take care of it. I plan to build a house with blue bricks and black tiles. Here's a hundred yuan. If it's not enough, ask me again. You can't secretly put in the money!"
Shu took out a hundred yuan and gave it to Grandpa Liu. It was not that she did not want to give more. Her monthly salary was close to forty yuan, and she had been working overtime for five months. Before that, she had bought a wedding present for her cousin. If she took out a hundred yuan now, the Liu family would think that she had saved it by being frugal.
If she took out several hundred dollars at once, her family would definitely guess that she was doing reselling business. She didn't want the Liu family to know about this, for fear that they would be worried, so she decided to take out the money slowly to repair the house.
Entrust the house matter to her family, and she can live in the new house with ease. She only needs to pay for it, and the Liu family will take care of the rest.
Now she has nothing to do. She plans to go to the educated youth center to find Luo Yue to cultivate their relationship, and by the way, see how the heroine and the others are doing now.
This heroine is different. Zhao Li is still as beautiful as ever, but her skin is a little darker and rougher than when she first came, but it does not affect her beauty. Compared with her, Passerby A Wang Mei is different. Now she looks like a real country girl, and her fresh and beautiful appearance is no longer visible.
It seems that Zhao Li has some good skills. Both Zhao Peng and Zhang Hongliang are reluctant to let her do heavy work, otherwise she would not be so beautiful. Standing next to Wang Mei, the contrast is very obvious.
When Luo Yue heard Shu Bo coming to see her, he hurried out and brought her into his room, guarding against Zhao Li and the other two as if he were guarding against wolves.
Shu sat on the stool and asked Luo Yue: "What's going on with them? Why is there such a big difference between Wang Mei and Zhao Li? Zhao Li looks like she has never been to the ground before?"
"Hey, isn't it that Zhao Li who has the means? When she was at the educated youth center, she had Zhao Peng and Zhang Hongliang to help her with the work, and there were other people in the village who admired her to help her with the work on the fields. Wang Mei is honest and doesn't have any tricks. She does everything by herself and doesn't ask for help from others, so the contrast between the two is so obvious."
Seeing that Shu was curious about them, Luo Yue quickly told Shu what he knew and also explained clearly about Zhao Li's admirers. It seemed that Luo Yue's association with the village ladies was not in vain.
Now she doesn't have her brother, the scapegoat, to help Zhao Li with work and deliver supplies, and there are other people too. I just don't know how long she can be so proud. I know that no one in their Liulin Brigade is a fool, and no one is as easy to fool as her brother. Even if those young people are easy to fool, it is not easy to fool the people at home. It is okay in a short time, but in the long run, their family will definitely find out, and it will not be so easy to deal with it later.
Now her brother Liu Jianguo doesn't look at Zhao Li. Zhao Li didn't bring much loss to her brother in the previous life. It was just a waste of some money and energy. Then she won't deliberately target the heroines. At most, she will laugh at their jokes when she has nothing to do. If there is a chance to step on them, she will not let it go.
Women, your name is double-tongued. You say you won't target anyone, but the next moment you step on them. But that's what you say, but whether you'll do it or not will depend on the future.
Liu Fu had ruined her cousin's second half of life, so she would naturally not let him go easily. It wouldn't be too much to just take away one of his legs. Before her cousin got married, she found the right opportunity to cripple Liu Fu. He didn't lose any arms or legs, but just a broken leg. After he recovered, he would have a slight limp which would not affect his walking, but he would definitely not be able to join the army. She would wait and see how he would achieve success in the future.
"I just told grandpa about the house. Construction will probably start in the next few days. I will go to work tomorrow and won't be able to take care of the house. This is our future home. When you are free, go take a look and tell grandpa if you have any opinions."
"Really? Are you going to start repairing it? Just relax, I'll take good care of it. I'll sleep in the big room and have a yard to grow flowers and vegetables in the future."
Luo Yue was very happy about the plan. He was originally a spoiled young man. Now he came to this world, where he had poor food and clothing, and even lived in a mud house. He would definitely be active in improving his conditions.
The savings left to him by his grandparents were all used up, and when he went to the countryside, he didn't have much money left from the money his parents gave him.
It was because he had good vision that he found a long-term meal ticket for himself as soon as he arrived at Liulin Brigade. Otherwise, with his extravagant appearance, he would probably be left with nothing now.
It was winter now, and the villagers were idle at home. When they heard that Shu was building three large tiled houses not far from Liu's house, they immediately alarmed the idle people in the village and ran to Liu's house in groups of three or four to watch the fun.
Grandpa Liu had already asked the team leader to approve the foundation and called for people to start working on the land. Although Shu's food relationship and household registration were moved to the city, Luo Yue's household registration was still in the village, so it was still possible to approve a piece of land for the foundation.
There was originally a piece of rice field next to the Liu family's house, which was perfect for building a house. Luo Yue used candies to let the children in the village pick up the beautiful rice seeds and put them aside. He planned to use these rice seeds to pave a rice path in the yard.
A few hundred meters behind the foundation of Shu's house is a small stream. It turns right at Shu's house and flows into the small river where the villagers wash clothes. Now it is very convenient for Shu's family to fetch water to wash clothes.
This location was carefully selected by Shu 뀞껜. It is surrounded by mountains and water, has beautiful scenery, is quiet, and is close to the Liu family.
Shu had already found connections to procure materials such as blue bricks and blue tiles a long time ago, and they are now being delivered to the village one after another. Grandpa Liu offered a price of thirty cents a day, not including food and lodging, and hired ten people to build the house in a month.
When Shu came back halfway, she went to see the house and found that it was well repaired. She asked the carpenter in the village to start preparing the furniture. There was no need to make a bed. A kang was built in the main room. The furniture and bed for the second bedroom were bought second-hand at the scrap collection station, and the furniture for the master bedroom was made new.
Shu was away when the house was being renovated, so the Liu family and Luo Yue presided over it. When Shu came back for the third time, her house was ready, except for putting in the furniture.
There are three large rooms with blue bricks and black tiles on the front courtyard wall. The master bedroom is on the left; the middle is divided into two rooms, the front is the living room and the back is the storage room; two secondary bedrooms are separated on the side; the bathroom and toilet built with yellow mud are on the left side of the three large tiled rooms, and the kitchen and firewood room are on the side.
Shu and Luo Yue both felt good, especially Luo Yue, who finally got rid of the pit toilet. Every time he went to the toilet, he would hold his breath and prepare himself before going.
Although their toilet still has yellow mud walls, Luo Yue asked the workers to repair it according to Shu's instructions. Not only does it not have any odor, it is also very clean and hygienic. They don't have to suffer anymore in the future.
Shu felt that she was now building a blue brick house and was already prominent enough in the village, so she informed the villagers that she would not hold a house-warming party and would wait until next year when she got married. The villagers understood that building such a nice house must cost a lot of money, so they would save some money by getting married at the same time.
There are still more than two months until the Chinese New Year, and at least four months before the wedding. It would be nice to move the furniture in now and ventilate the room.
After Shu and Luo Yue finished decorating the master bedroom, the Liu family saw a bedroom that was relatively luxurious for them.
Opposite the door is a kang, and on the side is a large wardrobe that Shu had someone build according to the height of the room. It is four meters long and three meters high. She also made a suspended ceiling with wooden boards. Since they have a strong backer, the thing they have the most is wood, so the wooden boards are quite thick, and the surface can be used as a loft.
There is a footstool under the kang, a dressing table on the side, and a bamboo wall in the middle to block the view. Outside are the desk and shoe cabinet, and there is also a space left for a sewing machine. The rest are just small bits and pieces.
"Oh my goodness, they are all the same things, but how come you made them look so good? Houses in the city can't compare. And this wardrobe is really beautiful and practical."
The two brothers Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun sighed as they watched. The other members of the Liu family thought it was a good idea and planned to make the same arrangement in the future.
Shu and Wang smiled at each other, as if they saw the scene of themselves living here in the future.
I wish to spend the rest of my life with you, never leave you, and love you forever.
