Chapter 257, Digging a Base
Mei Xue and Grandma He had been there once, so they knew where to go. The two of them, holding the child, walked towards Xiangyang's house with Luo Meili.
Fortunately, Xiangyang’s home is not far from theirs.
He Jiaojiao didn't go because her child is still young, but Fang Kai left yesterday.
Along the way, Xiao Hai held Xiao Peng and Xiao Cheng's hand, and the big brother's tall and strong body helped them block the cool wind.
Seeing Xiaohai's expression, the three adults all laughed.
After Xiangyang got married, Meixue and Grandma He were sent back to the village by He Anze.
It wasn't that he was willing to go, but his grandmother and wife wanted to go back, and no matter how he tried to persuade them, he couldn't change their minds.
Even the son is thinking about his elder brother at home.
The New Year passed like this, and after Mei Xue returned to the village with her grandmother and children, she lived a normal life.
Her biggest job now is to arrange the furniture making and buy the bed.
Mei Xue now has a personal savings of 100,000 yuan. She is not afraid of spending money, but she is afraid of delaying her work.
She didn't plan to raise more fish in the fish pond. It was good like this now. He Anyong didn't have to go to the fish pond every day to watch over it. Mei Xue bought lotus flowers after the spring began. They were the kind that could be eaten and looked at.
Of course, this was obtained with the help of Mr. Hua, as this thing is not easy to find.
At least Mei Xue can't get it herself.
The work in the fish pond was given to He Anwei. That boy followed his brother around every day and learned from him. He was quite capable of handling small things.
Needless to say, Mei Xue fell in love with him.
She handed the fish pond to him, and He Anyong started to run some outside errands for her.
For example, hiring a carpenter and doing other troublesome work.
Of course, Hongmei's man was also captured by Meixue to serve as a soldier.
By March, everything in the house on the back hill had been arranged, and the old men began to move happily.
The villagers also started to get busy, planting vegetables and farming, so the people who could be hired came after work, and it took several days just to move.
"Grandpas, after you move into the back mountain, you'll have to hire someone to cook for you. My family won't go there now." The house built in the back mountain is for her retirement, and at least she won't go there now.
The old men had already found a counterpart in this matter, and that was He Anyong's mother.
Aunt Yong burst into tears when she received this assignment. Nothing can reveal a person's true character more clearly than when they are out of power.
She not only saw clearly her own relatives, but also saw clearly the people who were close to her on a daily basis.
In the first year, there were not many people who went to try out the hot spring, but Mei Xue and Grandma He didn't care. It would be great if no one in the village went there.
After the old men were arranged, Aunt Yong also started to take up her post, and Mei Xue's house suddenly became quiet.
This kind of life made her and her grandmother temporarily uncomfortable, but her grandmother would go to the back mountain for a walk every day.
Mei Xue wasn't that free recently, so she sent grandma and the children to the back mountain.
Why isn't she free? She needs to start organizing the manor she has planned.
The furniture project was handed over and the payment was calculated by piece. This was a method that my grandmother came up with. If it was calculated by day, she was afraid that someone would slack off.
She trusts her grandmother very much in this matter.
In the fish pond, lotus flowers have been planted, and Meixue has to let them grow. And here in the old house, there are many things to do, all of which are trivial.
As for Lixia, she also has to draw the picture. It is a delicate job that requires the use of the brain.
With money in hand, Mei Xue is not worried. She plans to rebuild the old house next door into a brick house. In addition, she needs to leave a base for Grandma Mu and others, so she has to hire someone to expand the base again.
"Grandma Mu, I'm here. The sun is too strong, you should go back to the house first." Mei Xue has her own plans and keeps an eye on this place every day.
The people invited were all from the village. Now it was the busy farming season and not many people could be invited, so she joined in as well.
"Xiaoxue, stop working and come back in the afternoon." Grandma Mu felt a little sorry for Xiaoxue who was busy and sweating.
"No, I'm strong and can go faster." Mei Xue was unwilling to do so. "Grandma Mu, just go quickly. If you feel bored, go to the back mountain. The roads there have been repaired almost completely."
If possible, she would like her grandmother and the others to stay in the back mountain at night and come back after they finish their work.
"As for you, I won't go to the back hill. I'll go cook for you. You need to eat something good at noon."
Seeing that Grandma Mu was not going, Mei Xue did not force her to go, "Then thank you, Grandma Mu."
Those who came to work were not only from Group 5, but also some of the people from poorer families in the village.
These people were introduced by the village chief, and fortunately they are all very honest.
Mei Xue’s salary was also quite high, five dollars a day.
This salary is higher than working in the city.
Some people whose families have little land want to stay and work for a long time.
Mei Xue also thought that she would have a lot of things to do in the next few years, so she paid attention to them one by one.
"Uncle Chen, there are stones here, you have to be careful." The deeper they dug into the back mountain, the more stones appeared.
A man who looked to be in his forties smiled innocently, "It's okay, these stones are dead and can be dug out."
"Then you'd better be careful. It would be bad if it hits you." Mei Xue was a little worried. This was a place where a house was being repaired, so it was better not to let anything go wrong.
"Okay, let's all be careful." Uncle Chen agreed with a smile.
It took about five or six days to expand the base a lot, until Mei Xue called for a halt, and all the workers stopped.
But the available time was too short and they still wanted to make money. It might be the last day of work, so Mei Xue asked Aunt Xilian and Sister Hongmei to help the family prepare dinner for the workers.
There is plenty of food and drink.
"Xiaoxue, are you planning to hire more people in the future?" In total, this group of more than a dozen people had been working here for less than a month.
Mei Xue put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and looked at Uncle Chen in front of her.
Of course, even if she wanted to keep some people, it was impossible for her to keep all ten people. The matter of renovating the house would still have to be decided by Mr. Zhang.
"Uncle Chen, we definitely need to hire some people, but we have to renovate the house later. Even if we have to hire some people, we'll have to hire some masons and carpenters. Do you know how to do all that?"
Uncle Chen is the person that Mei Xue plans to keep for a long time.
Uncle Chen is from the second team, which is quite far from here. If they invite him, I'm afraid Uncle Chen will have to live here in the future.
This is also the reason why Mei Xue has been undecided.
"Everyone knows some plastering skills, but carpentry is a craft and not many people know it." Uncle Chen sighed after hearing Mei Xue's words.
"It's okay. Anyone who knows how to do plastering can stay. But we'll have to wait a few days. It's a good opportunity for you to rest at home." Mei Xue knew that Mr. Zhang would mainly hire people from the village.
"Thank you, Xiaoxue."
