Chapter 126 Building a New House



After Qing'er recovered, she went to Zhao's pastry shop with Liang'er to help.

Qing'er and Liang'er were considered celebrities in Renhe County. They were very surprised to learn that the Zhao family had redeemed them.

These two are both handsome young men. In the past, you could only see them at Chun Man Yuan. Now, some women would come to see them under the pretext of buying cakes. These days, the shop is packed.

Of course, there were also some ignorant hooligans who made jokes and tried to take advantage of the two of them. Without exception, they were all beaten out by Zhao Chuchu.

She couldn't bear to bully Zhao Chuchu's younger brother, let alone others.

Considering the increase in family members, Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan decided to build a new house.

Building a new house had always been in Zhao Chuchu's plan. Before, she had no choice but to live in an old house that was almost dilapidated because she had no money.

The more than one hundred taels of silver I got a while ago was enough to build a new house, but I used it to redeem Qing'er and Liang'er. Now the remaining silver is not enough.

But building a house is a bit urgent.

"I'll go borrow some money from Boss Lu." Zhao Chuchu said.

The Huixiang Restaurant branch has been opened. Now, the Zhao family receives a considerable dividend every month, but it is still not enough to build a house.

When thinking about borrowing money, the first person Zhao Chuchu thought of was Lu Qian.

Without a doubt, Lu Qian agreed and lent her eighty taels directly.

The family temporarily rented a house in the county town, and the old house was demolished and rebuilt.

Zhao Chuchu didn't plan to build a house casually. She planned to build a house with two entrances and a yard outside to surround the house.

The house in front is divided into a hall for receiving guests, two side rooms for guests to live in, a kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet, a storage room, and a room specifically used for making various pastries and foods.

The back room was divided into the master bedroom, one for Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan, one each for Zhang Fulang, Zhang Xiuwen, Zhang Xiulin, Qing'er, and Liang'er, as well as a study. Another room was left empty. This was planned for when she and Yuan'er had children. Although it was a bit early to talk about it now, since they hadn't had their wedding night yet, it was bound to happen sooner or later, so they had to prepare for it.

When Zhang Xiuyuan heard about the baby room she planned, he felt a little shy and his cheeks turned red. Zhao Chuchu couldn't help but kiss him a few times when she saw this.

In front of the front house, a crabapple tree that Yuan Ge'er liked was planted. In front of the back house, Zhao Chuchu had someone build a pavilion, set up a swing, and set up bamboo poles to dry clothes.

Zhao Chuchu's plan was quite complete, but the two-story house had more than a dozen rooms and occupied a large area. The land where her dilapidated house was previously located was not enough for construction, so Zhao Chuchu specially went to the village chief to buy the vacant land behind the dilapidated house.

Once the planning is done, you can start working.

There was a family in Zhaojia Village that specialized in building houses. Zhao Chuchu asked this family to be the contractor, and they also asked some strong and experienced people in the village to help.

Zhao Chuchu offered a very generous wage: 80 wen a day for the contractor's family, and 55 wen a day for the rest of the people. Lunch was included every day, and the lunch was prepared by an old lady in the village who used to be a cook in a restaurant.

Zhao Chuchu was generous and always had meat, vegetables, soup, and rice for lunch. The amount of meat varied from day to day, with pork, chicken, and duck all available, drawing the envy of those who couldn't come to work.
