Li Chen said this purely as a joke.
Building a stone kiln, buying supplies, and later buying jars, wooden furniture, and later digging a water cellar, all these things together are estimated to cost about 600 yuan.
Although the expenses seemed high, the money he brought with him was actually more than enough, not to mention sharing it with Liu Yunxiao.
Moreover, after spending these big amounts of money in the beginning, there is basically nothing left to spend later, at most you just need to buy some food and meat.
Although Li Chen didn't know how much money Liu Yunxiao brought, he was sure it was definitely not less than himself.
In this way, the remaining money for the two of them would be enough to last them not only for three years, but even for ten years.
So he didn't feel any financial pressure at all, and thought that it made no difference whether there was one more person sharing the burden or one less person.
However, Liu Yunxiao didn't realize he was joking and thought he didn't have much money, so he thought so. So he said thoughtfully, "Brother Chen, don't worry about the money. It's definitely enough."
Hearing this, Li Chen was stunned at first, then nodded with a smile and changed the subject, "I don't know what happened to the others."
What he didn't know was that the others now even wanted to kill.
This is not going to the countryside to receive education, it is clearly about settling down in the countryside, and it is also life-threatening.
You have to know that they don’t carry as much money as Li Chen and the other two, especially Hu Guilan’s younger brothers and sisters, who have even less money in their pockets, less than four hundred yuan.
Some people may think that this number is quite large.
But you have to understand that this is the expense of three people over the next few years.
Moreover, the initial purchase of daily necessities, water tanks and other necessary items is another huge expense.
With this calculation, the money they have left will definitely not exceed three hundred, so they will have to be careful with every expense they spend from now on.
However, the reality does not allow them to do so.
Because their residence was not as good as Li Chen's, they also did not dare to move in.
There was no other way, they could only choose to do the same as Li Chen and others and raise funds to build two stone kilns.
Although the people in the other three groups brought more money than them, it was not much more.
After choosing to build a stone kiln, there is still enough energy to dig a water cellar.
But after building the water cellar, there was not much money left in my pocket.
So at this time they were very conflicted about whether to dig the water cellar or not.
Let’s talk about Li Chen.
Since there was no water in the house, the four of them could only chat while waiting for the captain to come.
Fortunately, Captain Ge was efficient and soon brought a few people with him. Behind them were two donkey carts carrying two large vats, two wooden barrels, a shoulder pole, and some food and vegetables.
The team leader introduced the people he brought to Li Chen and others.
Li Chen then asked the potter and carpenter about the price of their goods.
It’s no wonder that the price they offered was really low, so Li Chen directly paid for the goods on the truck, and then placed an order for some more goods from them.
The two moved their things into the cave and left happily.
Then the team leader asked people to take down the grain and vegetables, took out the scale and started weighing them in front of Li Chen and the other three.
After he finished weighing, he said, "Remember the numbers. When the new kiln is built, I will send the remaining grain to you. You can weigh it for them to see if there is any shortage."
Li Chen quickly said, "Captain, what are you talking about? How can we not trust you?"
"Yes, yes, we believe you, no need to say anything." Liu Yunxiao and the other two quickly echoed.
If you are found to have embezzled subsidies for people going to the countryside, you will end up dead.
Based on their previous understanding, they believed that Captain Ge would not do such a stupid thing, so it would be better for them to be more open and honest.
"It's one thing for you to trust me, but it's another for me to make sure the food is handed over clearly." The captain smiled, and when he saw that several people wanted to continue this topic, he quickly talked about other things.
Another three hours passed.
Li Chen followed the team leader and the master craftsman who built the kiln to choose the location of the stone kiln, and Liu Yunxiao carried back eight loads of water from the owner of the private water cellar.
Xiong Xue took Liu Yunqin to wash, clean, boil water and cook in the house.
Sitting on the kang, feeling the warmth beneath his butt, Liu Yunxiao smacked his lips. "Captain Ge said the cave dwelling is warm in winter and cool in summer. So it's really this warm. No wonder he asked us to prepare more firewood."
The word "firewood" reminded Li Chen. He stood up and said to Liu Yunxiao, "While the meal is just being cooked, let's go out and collect some firewood for a while."
Liu Yunxiao responded with a bitter face, "Brother Chen, my arm hurts and I can't lift it."
Carrying water is not an easy job. The terrain here is so complicated that walking is extremely tiring. He carried so much water today that he had to grit his teeth and persevere. For this reason, he did not even carry the four loads of water in the company.
Li Chen knew about this, but he still didn't intend to let him go. "You said you were going to collect firewood this afternoon. A man shouldn't go back on his word. Besides, if you can't even endure this little hardship, how will you do farm work in the future?"
Liu Yunxiao knew he couldn't escape, so he gritted his teeth, stood up, and followed Li Chen out.
Located on the Loess Plateau, the vegetation here is sparse, mostly shrubs and weeds, with only a few trees.
So people here mostly use shrubs as firewood.
The two chatted while searching for dry bushes. Suddenly, Li Chen said, "Yunxiao, are you interested in Xiong Xue?"
Hearing this, Liu Yunxiao slipped and fell to the ground.
Li Chen quickly helped him up. Seeing that he was fine, he said with a smile, "Even if I told you something, you can't get so excited. If you fall into the ditch, you'll be in trouble."
