"Huihui..." Feng Mei cried pitifully.
"You can live with me after the house is built, but you have to be responsible for the housework. Otherwise, I won't let you live here for free! You have to work in exchange!" Wang Shuhui glanced at Feng Mei and said proudly.
"Okay!" Feng Mei agreed excitedly.
Mu Qingli saw the calculation in Chen Shengli's eyes and guessed what he was thinking, but she didn't care. If she didn't give him some benefits, Chen Shengli would not approve and help build the house.
"Let's build a house too!" Mu Qingli came to Chen Shengli and said with a smile.
"You? Who are you and?" Chen Shengli looked at Mu Qingli, then looked around and asked.
"My brother! Mu Qingfeng!" Mu Qingli pointed at Mu Qingfeng and said seriously.
"What kind of house should we build?" Chen Shengli took notes attentively with a pen.
"Captain Chen, where is the land for building the house?" Mu Qingli asked with a smile.
"The residential land is at the foot of the mountain west of the village!" Seeing that Mu Qingli did not directly talk about building a house and seemed to have many more questions to ask, Chen Shengli put away his pen, stood up straight and looked at her.
The educated youth next to them stopped talking and stood there quietly, listening attentively.
"There are mountains here?" Mu Qingli asked deliberately with curiosity. They originally thought it was a vast plain, but they didn't expect there were mountains. It seemed that there were quite a few. When they came here, everyone lowered their heads and hurried on their way, so they didn't notice it. When they heard Mu Qingli's question, they listened carefully.
"There are many mountains. There are sixteen large mountains in our county and the surrounding counties. There are three around our village alone. However, they are only a few hundred meters or one or two thousand meters high. However, there are dense forests on them and there are jackals, tigers and leopards. You'd better not run around. There is a big reservoir on the other side of the mountain. It's not fun to fall into it!" Chen Shengli said seriously with his hands behind his back.
"There is also a reservoir. Our village is really blessed with outstanding people and a beautiful scenery. We also have a reservoir, so we don't have to worry about drought!" At this time, Zhang Yawei came out to show her presence.
"Why aren't you afraid of drought? The reservoir belongs to the country, not the village. When drought comes, we have to save water! Not to mention the reservoir, we have two big rivers here!" Chen Shengli was obviously impatient and answered with his eyes wide open.
Zhang Yawei was very embarrassed because she failed to flatter the boss.
"Then, Captain Chen, the homesteads are all at the foot of the mountain. Will there be wolves coming down the mountain?" Mu Qingli asked worriedly.
"That's not the case. I haven't seen a wolf in more than ten years. Jackals, tigers and leopards are all in the deep mountains. Besides, if we build the walls higher and close the doors and windows at night, we won't be afraid of anything!" Chen Shengli answered nonchalantly.
In his opinion, nothing was more important than the interests of the village. Besides, it had indeed been a long time since the village had seen a wolf! Three or five years, he couldn't remember.
"Oh! I understand!" Mu Qingli nodded thoughtfully.
"Brother..." After thinking about it, Mu Qingli discussed with Mu Qingfeng in a low voice.
"Lili, you make the decision!" Mu Qingfeng naturally had no objection.
"Then, Captain Chen, we can just build three adobe houses. But, they need to be higher! And the walls should be higher too!" Mu Qingli thought that no one would care about the height of the houses at this time, right? After all, from her understanding, this era was a parallel world.
Although the era is similar, the great men and history are different. It is not the era I live in, so I said it tentatively.
Although, Mu Qingli knew that he should keep a low profile. Brick and tile houses were out of the question, and adobe houses were also quite eye-catching. Looking at the houses in the village, those made of adobe were considered good. Most of them were thatched huts, straw houses, and wooden sheds. Brick and tile houses were even rarer, right?
However, she always felt that Captain Chen's words were three-quarters true and seven-quarters false, and that one still had to be on guard against jackals, tigers and leopards.
"Okay! No problem!" As expected, Chen Shengli beamed. Few people in the village built brick houses, so this was another big source of income.
After saying that, he bent down and continued to take notes on the dining table in the Youth League Home.
"I want to build three brick and tile houses, and the walls should be the same as Mu Qingli said! They have to be high!" At this time, Wang Shuhui ran over and asked Captain Chen to change the specifications.
"And us! Captain Chen!" At this time, Bo Chuyan, who had been silent, also came over and spoke.
"Who do you live with?" Captain Chen asked.
"Him! My cousin, Fu Hongzhou!" Bo Chuyan pointed at the male educated youth who came with him and said.
"No need! Chu Yan, it's enough for me to build two rooms myself! We can live separately!" Fu Hongzhou said the first words after he appeared, his voice low and cold.
"Okay!" After hearing this, Bo Chuyan had to change his words, "Captain Chen, I'll build two rooms too! A kitchen and a bedroom are enough!" Bo Chuyan said to Chen Shengli.
"Aren't you going to build a storage room? We need to chop more firewood to heat the kang in winter, otherwise it will be very cold!" Chen Shengli looked up and asked.
"Then, let's add another storage room!" Bo Chuyan hesitated for a moment and said again.
"Let's build a kitchen!" Mu Qingli smiled. She thought that in the future they could build a wooden shed in the yard and there would be no need to build a utility room. However, it would be better to build a kitchen.
Wang Shuhui hesitated for a while and didn't add it. Four large tiled houses were really unnecessary.
"Are you going to build a brick house?" Chen Shengli looked at Wang Shuhui and Bo Chuyan, and Fu Hongzhou asked with a frown.
"Yes! Is there any problem?" Wang Shuhui rushed to answer!
"The construction is fine, but the problem is the bricks and tiles! We don't have them, and we can't get them!"
At that time, the brick and tile factories were mainly in the village brigades. There were very few of them, and the doors of the brick and tile factories were not easy to enter. The output was small and the price was high. The villagers had accumulated bricks from burning them at home for decades.
"Don't worry about it! Brother Yan! You have a way, right?" Wang Shuhui looked at him with admiration, her eyes full of smiles and stars.
