Qin Shuwan did not force them and gave up her seat. After all, she had prepared two kinds of water and she didn't know which one they liked.
In fact, most people like to eat sweet food. After all, sugar is so hard to come by now.
But the adults only drink a little to taste it, and most of the time they drink the bitter tea.
Children don't have so many concerns. They will drink a bowl of sugar water after running a few times.
Gradually, Qin Shuwan found that the group of children had grown larger.
The sugar water basin was empty, so I went to get another one.
There is strength in numbers! By nightfall, all the items had been retrieved.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law came back an hour earlier to cook, and Dongbao gave the rations he brought back to the sisters-in-law.
There were so many people that it was impossible to cook the meal delicately. We used cornmeal and flour to make pancakes, cooked a basket of potatoes, two large bowls of dipping sauce, and a large pot of egg and mushroom soup.
Adults get three pancakes each, and children get one pancake each. You can eat as much potatoes as you want, and you can serve your own soup.
This is the first time Qin Shuwan has seen this kind of hospitality.
But seeing that everyone looks normal, it means that everyone is like this.
Lu Donglin saw the little girl's doubts and found an opportunity to quietly tell her
"This is how we treat people who help us with our work. The fine grains are distributed, and many people will save some of the fine grains, eat other food to fill their stomachs, and take the fine grains home to feed their children."
Then Qin Shuwan really discovered that her cousins did not eat pancakes, but only ate potatoes and drank soup.
Qin Shuwan felt a little emotional, but not much. She was just a small grain of sand, and she didn't have any outstanding skills. She was powerless to change the status quo and could only try to integrate into the place.
After working all afternoon, Lu Donglin realized that the people who came to help were all pragmatic and were also from the Qin family. After dinner, he found an opportunity to discuss with Uncle Qin alone.
"I don't know much about uncle's house building, I'm afraid I need uncle to help me with the big part.
I have taken half a month's leave. I want to hire a few more people to complete the roof of the house within half a month.
I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again with the remaining doors, windows and furniture.
Here's what I'm planning: I'll hire someone to build a house. I'll pay them one dollar a day per person, and I won't include food. Of course, I'll still provide them with three meals during the construction phase, the beam raising phase, and the finishing phase."
Qin Dahai thought for a moment and said, "Sixty cents a day is about right. How big do you want to build? Do you have the right people?"
"I need a main room for entertaining guests, a large bedroom, a guest room, a kitchen, a separate bathroom, a toilet, a chicken coop, and a wall around the house. The walls inside the house need to be whitewashed.
Uncle, do you know anyone who can dig a well? I wonder if I can get water from my plot of land.
Qin Dahai's mouth twitched. "Have you budgeted for this? Will you have enough money if you come down like this?"
Lu Donglin: "Uncle, don't worry about the money. The main thing is that after the house is built, Wanwan needs to live comfortably.
My two brothers will bring bricks and cement tomorrow. There will be enough bricks.
As for manpower, I think the people who came to help today are all pragmatic.
The wages are still one dollar a day, after all, everyone has to support their families."
The Qin family is well-known in the village for protecting their children, especially their daughters.
He wants to infiltrate the Qin family in the future, so doesn't he have to gain more favor now?
Qin Dahai: "Okay, but the kitchen, toilet, chicken coop, and wall should all be built with adobe! There's no need to dig a well, and even if you have money, you can't waste it like this. The key is that it's too eye-catching."
I'll get the bricks for you, and we'll make it again when we have time.
The doors, windows, and furniture are mine, so you don't have to worry about them.
The wages are not even one dollar, eighty cents is considered rich.
If you are too busy with work, you can go to work and I will take care of it.
"Building a house is a slow and careful process; you can't rush it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
