Chapter 34: Build a House for a Job

Chapter 34: Build a House for a Job

Regarding the house, the team leader chose to speak out the ugly truth first.

"We can approve the land for you, even for free, but you only have the right to use the house, not the ownership. When you return home, the house will belong to the brigade."

Wen Ran has no shortage of money, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

Hearing this, he deliberately frowned and thought for a while, "Then how much does it cost to build a house?"

"When the young men in our team build houses, they only need to pay for materials and manpower, and then they can come after a call. But in your case, you have to pay for manpower.

Including meals and so on. When other people build houses, meals are provided, but you can’t provide meals here, which is another expense.”

"What about all of them?"

“Three small adobe houses cost only 30 yuan, and if you use tiles to make the roof, it will only cost another 10 yuan.

But we still have to consider the labor and food expenses. I estimate it will cost about 10 to 20 yuan.”

Wen Ran made the decision right away, "Uncle, we don't know anything, so we'll have to trouble you to take care of this matter for us. I'll take out 80 first, and I'll make up for it if it's not enough."

Bao Wenxuan raised her hand, "Count me in, I'll build a house too."

She was really afraid of these people.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day, and it happened that the rain stopped at this time.

Mother Xiao slapped her thigh and said, "Now that we have nothing to do, let's go check out some places!"

"Okay!"

After running for an entire afternoon, Wen Ran's legs were almost thin.

Finally, the rain got heavy and the captain had no choice but to take shelter from the rain at Xiao's house.

Looking at the continuous rain outside, the captain sipped the warm tea and said, "Tell me, what do you think? Which place do you like?"

"I've chosen the place at the foot of the mountain," Bao Wenxuan really suffered a great loss in dealing with people, as she picked the most secluded place right away.

The captain looked puzzled, "Are you sure? Although there is no one at the foot of the mountain, it is still dangerous."

Petty thieves who want to steal something without alerting anyone will choose sparsely populated areas to start their business.

At that time, if you are unlucky and get discovered, you can run away immediately without being discovered.

"I am sure."

The captain emphasized, with a serious look on his face, "Kid, I have no bad intentions, but you choose the place, so I must explain it to you clearly.

There is no one to bother you at the foot of the mountain, but in the winter, when wild boars and bears come down the mountain to look for food and spoil things, that’s where they go first.”

ah!

How can this be possible?

Bao Wenxuan was a little hesitant. She was afraid of people, but she was even more afraid of blind bears!

Just when the captain thought Bao Wenxuan had given up the idea, Wen Ran, who had been silent, said slowly, "Uncle, when we build the wall, we have to use more solid materials.

What if a blind bear breaks it with one scratch..."

She raised her eyebrows. "If this gets out, it won't sound good, right?"

Bao Wenxuan's eyes lit up, and her gaze was shining as she looked at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran thought confidently, see, Bao Wenxuan has been impressed by his own intelligence, hahahaha.

The captain was very tired, "Can't we change places?"

"No! Right there, we like it."

…

The team leader couldn't persuade them, so he took the two of them to measure the land early the next morning.

There are only a few scattered households at the foot of the mountain.

Wen Ran adhered to the attitude of not interfering with others' affairs and chose a neutral area, which was a bit far away from the stream.

"You want this?"

"OK."

Wen Ran looked at the deep mountains not far away, and his gaze became distant.

“It’s inconvenient to use water.”

So, let’s go back and live here.

"Dig a well."

Captain: “…”

Damn, these kids have money and are really courageous!

"OK!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, the team leader simply kept silent and talked a lot with the two honest men. It seemed that they were discussing the house.

Bao Wenxuan was feeling guilty at first, but now that she saw Wen Ran was also living here, she suddenly felt relieved.

"Um," a man came over from a distance, with an awkward smile on his honest face, "Are you going to build a house?"

Wen Ran was alert, "Yes."

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. My family is the carpenter here. If you need to make tables, chairs, benches and other things, you can come to us."

"Yes," Xiao's mother nodded, "Their cooking skills are pretty good, and we even have customers from other teams coming to our house!"

Speaking of this, the man was very proud, "Our family's craftsmanship is well-known far and wide."

"Sure! Can we go and have a look?"

"Of course."

After another round of walking, Wen Ran and Bao Wenxuan decided on the furniture. As for the rest, there was no rush. After all, life passed slowly.

As time goes by, you just need to buy more things one by one.

The house is already under construction, but what worries Wen Ran is not this but having to work in the fields.

Alas~

How can we reasonably avoid labor?

Sitting under the ginkgo tree of the Silly Roe Deer Brigade, Wen Ran sighed.

He was riding a bicycle and had just returned from the commune after doing some work. He was spotted by the team leader with a happy face.

He stopped the car with a squeak, leaned over, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

The wind is very strong, it can blow away the sorrow of a young girl, and it can also blow away the few strands of hair on the heads of middle-aged and elderly people that they use to cover their modesty.

Wen Ran almost watched the two thin and delicate hairs on Bi Jianguo's head being blown wildly by the wind, and then, with his comfort, she obediently protected her bald scalp.

Wen Ran: “…”

She tried to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't hold back her thoughts. By the time she came to her senses, the words had already come out of her mouth and there was no room for remedy.

"I'm thinking of how to be lazy."

Captain: “?”

He was stunned.

I wanted to curse, but then I thought of Wen Ran’s fighting ability.

Forget it, I can’t beat him.

Isn't the purpose of life to be able to bend and stretch?

He took a deep breath, pretending that he heard nothing, and started to ride his bike away.

Wen Ran thought about it and decided that now that everything had been said, he might as well just give up.

"etc!"

The captain's main strategy is to turn a deaf ear and try to run away.

But he didn't run away.

Wen Ran grabbed the handlebars of the bicycle.

"Uncle~" She smiled flatteringly, "Can we chat for a while?"

"I don't really want to chat."

Wen Ran: “…”

Okay, if you do this, then she will be acting like a rogue.

"Then you can't leave."

The captain was so angry that he could only stare blankly and talk to Wen Ran.

"Uncle, to be honest, I still have a little money in my hand. I don't need to spend money on luxury food, but I can have enough food and clothing."

She gestured with her slender arms and said seriously, "Besides, I have the strength. If I need something to eat, I can go to the back mountain and get it."

"My child, you may be strong, but hunting has nothing to do with it."

If you go hunting in the mountains, you might even lose your life.

After a friendly exchange between the two (a verbal battle), the team leader gave in and said, "There are also easier jobs in the team, but I'm afraid you can't do it."

"You say!"

Babies, let's start the PK! Yay! Tickets, good reviews and follow-up, Xiao Qiao, I want them all! Oh, please, if you support me, I will be motivated to write. If you vote and I vote, Ran Ran and Xiao Ye will be together!
