Chapter 154 Plan

When Manbao fell asleep, Qian Shi frowned and looked at Lao Zhoutou, "Are you serious about building seven rooms, or are you coaxing Manbao?"

"Of course I'm serious, will I lie to the child?" It's still such a big thing, Man Bao is so smart, what if the child fails to learn?

Old Zhoutou had his own considerations, and said, "Didn't you say that the fourth child's debt is about to be repaid?"

Qian shi gave a soft "um" and said, "It's not much worse."

No one thought that ginger grown by a few children would be so valuable.

The piece of wasteland that Chuu Lang opened one after another was not very big, only about six or seven points. The small half was planted with yam, and the rest was planted with ginger.

The output of that small piece of ginger is very large. During this period, the ginger that goes out at home is at least 40 kilograms every day, so I have a fixed income every day.

Others don't know, but the fifth one will settle the account with her when they come back, and they will give her the fourth one's money after handing over to the queen. Except for Man Bao, the Qian family knows the family's account and everyone's money best. of deposits.

I'm afraid that even the parties involved, Friday Lang and the others, are not very clear.

Before you know it, a lot of money has been saved at home.

Seven brick and stone houses are to be built...

Qian shi frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough."

"It's almost there," Lao Zhoutou said in a low voice, "The money that was saved last year, the money returned by the fourth child and the one that has been deposited this year, must be thirty-five taels, right?"

Qian Shi said "um".

The old Zhoutou said: "Since the public has a lot of money, the boss and the others must have it too. This house was built for them to live in. If Manbao has paid for it, they will naturally get a share. That's about the same. I guess in my heart, not only is it enough to build a house, but even the furnishings in the house are enough."

Old Zhoutou said: "Make a bed in each room, and if you have a lot of treasures, you need to add a better table and chairs. We can buy them a set of quilts at most. The rest, they can come by themselves."

This sum of money has to be spent, so it seems that it is not enough, especially the bed, which is a big deal.

Old Zhoutou felt that his addiction to smoking was committed again. He thought about it and said, "Don't worry, isn't there a lot of ginger in the field? It should be almost the same when it's sold out."

Qian Shi glanced at him, "Did you forget to say kiss to the fourth child?"

Old Zhou Tou was almost dying of sorrow, and said, "Why don't you let him wait another year?"

"It will be nineteen next year."

Old Zhou Tou sighed, "It's a little old."

The couple didn't speak for a long time.

Old Zhou Tou smacked and said, "Otherwise borrow some from Hexi?"

Jiang's harvest in Zhou Xidi is not small. She also has to pay a share to the public, but because she is a married daughter, the things in this family may not have her share in the future, so Qian's decision is only 30% of her. , and she took the rest by herself.

Of course, she also wants to share it with Man Bao, but the proportion is smaller. For the past ten days, she has carried ten or twenty pounds of ginger every day, and she has brought back a lot of money, so Lao Zhoutou guessed her hand There should be one in there.

Seeing that he had counted everything, Qian Shi said, "Go and talk to her."

The old Zhoutou muttered, "I'll go if I go."

But in the end, Qian Shi still didn't let Old Zhou go, except in front of Man Bao, he never soft words in front of other children, let him borrow money, not only he was uncomfortable, but also the people who were borrowed.

However, there was still some time before the house was built, and Qian just mentioned it to Zhou Xi, not immediately asking for money.

Everyone in the village will help each other when they build houses, and they don’t need any wages, but that’s when building thatched houses, it’s simple, convenient and fast.

At most, stir the yellow mud and paste it on the earth wall to make it more cold-proof. For example, if the Zhou family wants to build a stone house, they must not only pack two meals a day, but also pay wages.

Even if the villagers get a small amount, it will never be less than 18 wen.

So the salary is a lump sum.

They also have to buy stones or quarry them by themselves, and this part of the wages has to be calculated separately, so there is no need to buy too much wood.

Because their mouth-shared fields are basically mountains, and the trees on the mountains belong to them. Lao Zhoutou decided to go to the mountains tomorrow to take a look at the trees. If he needs to buy them, he has to order them in advance.

The next day, before Lao Zhoutou went to see the tree, Man Baoxian walked to the open space next door with his little hands behind his back, and strolled up and down like a king who inspected the territory.

Xiao Qian, who had just made the breakfast, couldn't find her. When she went out to look, she saw her nodding with her waist pinched, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she called out, "Manbao, what are you looking at? Well, come back for breakfast soon."

Man Bao looked at the large open space, nodded his head and said, "I'm looking at my future room, sister-in-law, I want a red tent, can you help me do it?"

"How can there be a red tent? Your sister-in-law has lived for so many years, and she has only seen a blue tent." Mrs. Qian pulled her back and said, "Don't look at it, there is no shadow of any house."

She felt that building a house was a long way off, so Man Bao should go to school obediently first.

Xiao Qian took Man Bao back to eat breakfast, put a small bookcase on her back, and let her go to school.

Man Bao jumped up and down, and when he saw Bai Shanbao, he said, "My family is going to build a house. When I enter the new house, I will invite you to warm the house."

Bai Shanbao was refreshed and asked, "When will you enter the new house?"

When their family entered the new house, Man Bao packed a lot of candy for him in a bamboo basket, saying that it was a warm house gift. He decided to give Man Bao a gift when he entered the new house.

Man Bao said repeatedly: "Come on, come on!"

As soon as he got home from school that day, Man Bao ran to find Lao Zhoutou and asked, "Dad, when will my house be built?"

Old Zhoutou, who was drinking water, almost choked, he said: "It's far away, Dad just went up the mountain to look at the trees today, and it's a little short of being able to use it to build a house. If you want to buy some from someone, you have to quarry stones and dig a foundation. You are still young, live with us first, don't be in a hurry to move."

"How about that," Man Bao shouted, "I've already told my classmates that they will come to warm my room next time I take a break."

Old Zhou was stunned, but he didn't expect the girl's mouth to be so fast, so he quickly said: "Why do you come here next time for the rest, this house hasn't started construction yet. Just tell them that it will take time to build the house, and it will take a while. It's time to invite them again."

"How long is a period of time?" Man Bao said, "Isn't it very fast to build a house? It's ready to be built. No matter how slow you are, Dad, it will be fine in six or seven days, right?"

There are still six days and seven days... The old Zhoutou shouted: "Six days and seven days have not even built the foundation, at least we have to wait until the New Year before entering the new house."

"Father, your speed is too slow, I have told my classmates..."

"Then talk to them again."

"I'm so embarrassed," Man Bao exclaimed. "Our whole class knows it. They all said that they have prepared gifts and waited for me to invite them."
