Su Cheng just frowned as he watched the scene. Gu Liang curled his lips and drank the wild vegetable porridge in just a few mouthfuls.
Carrying his lunch box, he followed Fang Kai out.
Ever since Fang Kai came, Gu Liang has become closer to Fang Kai.
At the beginning, Gu Liang and Fu Huaijin had a better relationship, but since some time ago, their relationship gradually faded.
At this time, it was already vaguely visible that small groups had emerged among the educated youth.
Jiang Wanqiao was not in a hurry to leave. She only left after finishing her meal.
Luo Mei became even angrier. It was clearly Xu Zhiyi who destroyed the unity of the educated youth group and moved out without permission.
She didn't think she had said anything wrong at all.
Xie Tang saw the anger on Luo Mei's face.
"Meizi, don't be angry. If she wants to move out, she can move out."
Xie Tang's kind attempt to comfort her only made Luo Mei's resentment worse.
Why can she move out whenever she wants and buy whatever she wants?
It's really hard to say about people. As an educated youth, she is exhausted every day, while Xu Zhiyi seems to be here for fun in the countryside.
You can also build a house for yourself outside.
Luo Mei felt jealous and unwilling.
Isn't it just good luck that she was born into a good family? The money to build the house was given by her family, otherwise where would she get the money from?
Xu Zhiyi had no idea of the jealousy in someone's heart.
She is now planning where to build the furniture for the house.
The house is built very quickly, but it takes a little longer to make the furniture. Prepare it in advance so that you can move in immediately after the house is built.
Pei Yan had already found a place to buy tiles, and estimated that the tiles for her three rooms would cost around eighty yuan.
She currently has 500 yuan in her hand.
Apart from the compensation paid by the Yang family before, the rest was earned by cooperating with Pei Yan in the mountains.
The rent for ten years cost eighty, and the purchase of wood cost fifty.
The village carpenter was hired to make furniture, and whenever someone needed something, they would go to find Carpenter Tan.
"Uncle Tan, I brought Sister Zhiyi here to order furniture." Fang Yingzi was quite familiar with Carpenter Tan.
The shirtless boy who was pushing the trimmer heard the sound and rushed into the house.
"Uncle Tan, where is Mr. Tan?"
Carpenter Tan was sitting on a stool smoking leaf tobacco, pointing into the house with his pipe.
"Damn Tan Mutou, he's hiding from me again."
Fang Yingzi's father and Tan Mujiang were good brothers who grew up together.
Since Fang Yingzi's parents passed away, Carpenter Tan has taken good care of Fang Hai and his sister.
Fang Yingzi and Carpenter Tan's youngest son were about the same age, and they often quarreled with each other.
In the yard, there were finished tables and benches, as well as some wood.
"Uncle Tan, I need to make a bed, a set of wooden chairs, and a dining table. Here are the drawings. Can you take a look at them?"
Xu Zhiyi wanted to customize a long table that could be used not only for dining but also as a desk.
From the perspective of modern people, cabinets placed in the bedroom are mainly hung, which is more convenient.
For basic styles, it is not a problem to create them with blueprints, but it will take a longer time if you need more.
Carpenter Tan tapped his pipe, looked at the blueprint carefully, and nodded.
"No problem, I just estimate it will take twenty days." Carpenter Tan did not work all day long. He would do some work during his rest time every day.
It took about twenty days for him and his son to stay together.
"Okay." It was about the time Xu Zhiyi had expected.
"A bed, a table, four chairs, and a large cabinet. Twenty dollars, then."
This price is about right, which is within Xu Zhiyi's expectations.
"Give me a five-dollar deposit first, and then you can come and pick it up after twenty days." Carpenter Tan said simply.
After paying the deposit, Xu Zhiyi said goodbye to Carpenter Tan and left.
Tan Mulin poked his head out of the house and saw that there was no one else there, so he came out wearing a short coat.
"Look at what you have accomplished!" Carpenter Tan said slowly.
"Dad, I'm just afraid of scaring people." Tan Mulin laughed.
"Hurry up, don't be lazy. Your mother will nag you again when she comes back." Carpenter Tan urged.
"Dad, please help me, otherwise I won't do it anymore, and then Mom will tell you too."
Tan Mulin is playing dirty and acting badly.
"Don't worry about it. We have a big opening today. Your mother is so happy." Carpenter Tan handed the blueprint to his son.
"Hurry up and do it. When you're done, work with me on this job and I'll pay you." Tan Mulin took the drawing and it looked quite simple.
"Okay! Pay me my wages." Tan Mulin was a little excited. He finally got the money.
All the money I had before was taken away by my mother, under the pretext of saving it for him to get married.
Tan Mulin, who was born fourteen years ago, has ten years of carpentry skills but no money in his pocket.
Xu Zhiyi finalized the furniture and asked Aunt Wang to help with cooking.
Two women are enough for three or four days, and they need to prepare two meals, lunch and dinner. Five dollars per person.
It just means cooking and getting paid, so Aunt Wang naturally agreed.
But she didn't call her own daughter-in-law, but instead called a woman in the village who lived alone with her son.
Everything is ready, just waiting to start building the house.
Yellow leaves fluttered on the branches, and when the branches were bare, a hint of coolness came with the wind.
The construction of the house has just begun and the foundation has been laid.
After choosing the right time, Uncle Yang Liu led the workers to start the work. Pei Yan also came along to help.
Uncle Yang Liu thought Pei Yan was hired by Xu Zhiqing and was a little surprised. He had never heard of this kid working for anyone in the village.
Xu Zhiyi noticed Pei Yan's enthusiasm.
I was still laughing in my heart.
Xu Zhiyi shot three wild rabbits and two pheasants from the mountains and asked Aunt Wang to take care of them.
Aunt Wang helped to exchange the vegetables with the villagers. She paid for them, but she couldn't say it openly.
Aunt Wang and Sister Zhou prepared lunch at noon. Both of them are good in the kitchen.
A temporary cooking stove was built next to it, which will be dismantled after use.
For lunch, I made braised rabbit meat with potatoes and made a big plate full of it.
He also stir-fried cabbage with meat, which Pei Yan bought in the city.
I bought a big piece and put it in his well. It will last for two days.
There is also a vegetable and tofu soup.
On the first day of work, we steamed white flour buns.
By the time it was time for lunch, the villagers who were working were all stunned.
The food is so good!
The men were very excited. Even if they didn't get paid, they would still make money by eating the meal.
Xu Zhiyi explained that it was the first day of work, so everyone should eat better and thank you for taking more care.
"Xu Zhiqing, don't worry! We've done a lot of work with Uncle Six, and just for the food you provide, we brothers will do our best to make it better."
"Yes! Xu Zhiqing is really generous."
