Chapter 1395 Lazy Wife 12
Moreover, the Chen family has an advantage in building a house - Chen's father and his three sons, a total of four people, some of whom are learning bricklaying and some learning carpentry. The four of them, plus the women in the family who can do odd jobs, can build the house by themselves. Unlike those families with fewer people, or those who don't know how to do bricklaying and carpentry, they still have to find workers. They don't need to, and can save a lot of money. Because when building a house in the countryside, the biggest expense is labor, and the materials are up to you. If it is not too luxurious, it is still a small amount of money.

For a family without masons or carpenters, building an ordinary red brick and tile house would cost about two thousand yuan. But for a family like the Chen family, if they don't need to hire anyone, they can build the house for about one thousand yuan.

The Chen family has a mountain, so they don’t have to buy wooden beams for the big tiled house. They can just cut down trees and dry them at home.

Just need to buy some bricks and tiles.

Bricks and tiles also have their own requirements.

Nowadays, the wealthy families in the village naturally build houses made of red bricks and large tiles, and some are even buildings.

The large tiled houses built by poor people are not made of red bricks, but earth bricks. They mix the mud and print them themselves, then put them outside to dry before use. At most, they use green bricks for a few layers at the foot of the house to prevent the earth bricks from falling down due to the rain.

If you don't buy red bricks, or only buy a little green bricks for the base of the house, and then only buy tiles, it really doesn't cost much. It would probably cost less than five hundred yuan to build five large tiled houses - the Chen family plans to build five large tiled houses because there are many people.

But Chen's father and others have decided to buy red bricks to build the house. Firstly, it takes time to print the bricks themselves, and time means money to them. The time saved in stringing the beads is enough to make back the money. Moreover, if they print the bricks themselves and dry them, they have to worry about the bricks getting wet if it rains, which is very troublesome.

In addition, houses made of red bricks are more solid, and the walls are smoother after being painted with lime, while earthen bricks will not be so flat.

More importantly, Chen's father felt that his family's fortune was just around the corner, and he wanted to build a second floor in a few years. As for a red brick house, it was possible to add a second floor as long as the roof was removed, but the earthen bricks printed at home would not work and would not be sturdy enough.

Soon, Chen's father and others determined the new address for building the house. Linlang looked at the place, which was on the road of demolition in her original memory, so she didn't say much.

With a new address for building the house, Chen's father and others immediately went to the village to approve the land - that piece of land was not allocated to any particular family, it was collective, so they had to buy the land from the village.

At that time, the government did not care much about rural people building houses, so as long as the village approved the land, they could build houses. After all, those lands were rural collective lands, not private ones.

Of course, the land is not granted for free, and money has to be paid for it. However, it doesn't cost much at the moment. After all, it has not been developed yet, and the land in the countryside is not worth much. Moreover, the principle of free use of homesteads is still in place. Some money needs to be paid because the Chen family has not split up and there is only one family, so they can only occupy one homestead. It is not free if there is more than one, so naturally they have to pay for it. Otherwise, if the Chen family split up, they could actually get three homesteads for free because there are three brothers.

Of course, the Chen family was willing to spend money to buy another homestead because they thought Linlang's proposal made sense. Otherwise, they would not be willing to spend the money. After all, no matter how little, it was still money. In fact, Linlang had planned to split the Chen family, because after the split, the three brothers could each get a homestead for free. Otherwise, in two years, the homestead would not be obtained for free, and the price would rise.

Like in the original world, the Chen family had never split up. Later, the three brothers finally split up, but the homestead was no longer given for free. In addition, real estate development had begun outside, and the price of land in the suburbs of the provincial capital had increased. It cost a lot of money to buy it, and it could not be built in good places such as near the main road. Building houses near the main road was regulated.

The Chen family was poor to begin with, and they had to spend money to buy a residential plot, which made them even poorer. After years of hard work, the three families finally built their own home. The three brothers were old, and even if they were good at masonry and carpentry, no one dared to hire them to do these jobs in big cities, so they could not make any money. Unlike other families who split up early and many of them went to work on construction sites in big cities and made a lot of money, the Chen family was taking the wrong path at every step and completely missed the dividends of the times. As a result, when the children grew up, they saw that other families were living so well while their own family was living so poorly, and they all resented their parents, especially Chen's father and mother.

However, unless it is absolutely necessary, Linlang will not take the initiative to propose a separation, lest those people think that she really wants to separate the family and will force the third house to make concessions and take advantage of the third house.

But Linlang believed that as the various branches of the Chen family earned more and more money, they might want to split up more and more, so there was no need for her to take the initiative.

Before, the family did not split up because the family with more children wanted to take advantage of the family with fewer children. Now they can't take advantage of Linlang's family. On the contrary, there are many conflicts when everyone is together, so they naturally want to split up and live in their own small family. Isn't that good?

When the villagers heard that the Chen family was going to build a house, no one was surprised. After all, the Chen family's house was the worst in the village, and it was time to build a new house.

It is a bit strange to build a house so far away from the fields and mountains, but when the Chen family said that they wanted to be closer to the road so that it would be more convenient to go to the city in the future, no one doubted it. After all, some families like to move near the road to be closer to the city. But when you ask them, what's the point of being close to the city? It's inconvenient to work so far away from the fields and mountains at home. They must be crazy.

Speaking of which, the Chen family has three sons with normal IQs, all in their prime, when they can make the most money, but they end up being as poor as those families with mentally retarded children. This Chen family is really ridiculous.

Fools are stupid and don't understand the harm of the big pot. They are all normal people. Haven't they seen the disadvantages of the big pot in the past? They dare not separate and eat together. It's strange that they can develop.

It is normal that the Chen family, which has skilled workers such as bricklayers and carpenters, cannot develop, because the Chen family has not split up. The three sons of the Chen family are all taken by their father to work outside, and then the employer settles the wages and gives them directly to the father.

Because they couldn't get a share of the money, the three sons of the Chen family would naturally slack off when doing their work. After all, they couldn't get the money, so why work so hard? The money they got wasn't theirs, and the damage they did to their health was theirs. So, most people would not hire the Chen family to work unless they contracted the work and materials to the Chen family, because they worked too slowly.

In fact, Chen's father and mother have always said that the money they earn will be divided among the three of them in the future, meaning that they should not be lazy.

But, who would dare to believe that if the parents favored one of their three sons and not me, then I would have to work hard. Wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage and help others make money?
