Who would marry into the family after being reborn?.

Chapter 212: The old house is built with a new building, just to match you

Fenced yard.

Before Wu Wei could wait for Ma Haitao, his fourth senior brother Zhai Ke arrived first.

Zhai Ke had just had his hair cut and his face shaved clean, obviously having just done it while the dragon was raising its head.

The two brothers lit up a cigarette and walked around the house in front of and behind the fenced yard.

Zhai Ke asked, "According to your blueprint, the foundation of the entire small western-style building should be moved back eight and a half meters based on the current main hall, so that it is in line with the Dai and Xiao families next door?"

Wu Wei nodded and said, "To be precise, the north wall is flush with their house. There is a gap between the wall and the small western-style building so that the small western-style building can have windows facing north to increase the amount of light."

"That's right!" Zhai Ke understood and said, "Your family runs a brick kiln, so you don't mind wasting these red bricks."

The brothers returned to the main room and sat down at the table.

Zhai Ke asked, "But the kiln factory hasn't been built yet. We need bricks for our small western-style building, but we can't wait until your kiln factory starts operation. You still have to spend money to buy bricks."

Wu Wei raised his hand and gave Zhai Ke another cigarette. He said, "I've thought about this a long time ago. I'll borrow it from Boss Cheng first. I'll pay it back when the brick kiln produces bricks."

It’s a one-way trip, it doesn’t cost any money anyway.

Zhai Ke habitually tapped his cigarette on the cigarette box. Upon hearing this, he slapped his thigh and said, "That's it."

Then he looked around and said, "Can we finish moving the house today? If we can, I will bring people in to start the work tomorrow."

Wu Wei nodded and said, "We can enter tomorrow, but before we enter, the village will send someone to measure the area of ​​the new homestead and register it. I have already informed the old branch secretary."

Just after finishing talking with Zhai Ke, Ma Haitao came over pulling a flatbed cart.

The two brothers, together with Ma Haitao, quickly loaded the large color TV and a few pieces of luggage onto a flatbed cart and headed straight for the courtyard on Bayi Road.

Wu Wei pushed the cart and was about to go to the county with his eldest disciple.

As soon as we got on the village road, we saw a convoy of tractors loaded with red bricks turning off the country road.

Wu Wei was dumbfounded.

It was agreed that it would be delivered to your door in the afternoon, how come it’s already delivered in the morning?
But these days, due to the underdeveloped communications.

It is normal to have some deviations in the time agreement.

Especially since Boss Cheng is eager to do it sooner rather than later, it shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

However, in this way, Wu Wei could not go to the county for the time being, and could only let Xichun follow him on bike.

Fortunately, there were only valuable items like a large color TV on the flatbed truck.

Leave it to Haitao alone, no problem.

However, when Ma Haitao and Xichun left, the two children of the Dai family and the son of the Xiao family stood at their doorsteps and watched them from afar.

It’s not that they are reluctant to part with Xichun.

But the fun of their days - the TV - is gone.

Wu Wei handed a cigarette to the driver of the leading tractor convoy, then led him to the gate of his own yard and started unloading bricks.

In this way, the leading tractor unloads bricks at the doorstep.

The tractor behind extended far into the village road.

Aunt Dai seemed to realize that they were too busy to handle the situation, so she changed into old clothes and came over to help.

Not long after, Dong Da and his Yunnan wife also came over.

With more people, bricks can be unloaded much faster.

After unloading one truck, leave.

Soon, more than half of the area of ​​the vegetable garden at the entrance was occupied.

The newly unloaded red bricks cannot be piled on the road, blocking the tractor behind.

So I can only pile it in the vegetable garden.

Fortunately, Wu Wei had just turned over the land, but had not yet planted the seeds. So he occupied it.

They worked like this until noon and finally unloaded hundreds of cubic meters of red bricks.

At the end of the busy day, Wu Wei wanted to invite Aunt Dai and Dong Da to have dinner with him.

Naturally these three people refused.

Wu Wei simply said, "How about this, Aunt Dai, Dong Da and you two, tomorrow we are going to start building a house. If you are free, come over and do odd jobs. I will ask the foreman to pay you the wages, and I will ask the foreman to include today's wages in the salary."

Aunt Dai couldn't help but said with joy: "That's great, I just happen to be at home with nothing to do."

Dong Da glanced at the woman, then came over and snatched the lighter from Wu Wei's hand and said, "I think it's okay."

It was clearly his wife who nodded, and then it became his decision.

However, Wu Wei still reminded him, "If you can bear the hardship, come and do the odd jobs. After all, I won't shortchange you on wages. But you should also be careful. If your wife gets pregnant, don't force yourself."

"That's natural."

The three of them nodded repeatedly.

Aunt Dai was so grateful that she even invited Wu Wei, "How about coming over to my house for lunch and having a bite to eat?"

Wu Wei saw Qiao Yuyan turning down the village road and declined with a smile, "No, Aunt Dai, Yuyan brought me food."

When Aunt Dai saw that the man’s boyfriend had arrived, she quickly ran away.

Dong Da also left at the instigation of his wife.

Before leaving, he forgot to return Wu Wei's lighter, and was chased by Wu Wei onto the village road.

Return to your own courtyard.

Qiao Yuyan placed the lunch box she brought on the millstone and tested the temperature, saying, "It's still warm, eat quickly."

Wu Wei had just washed his hands, shook them twice, then took the chopsticks and started eating with relish.

Seeing how he was wolfing down his food, Qiao Yuyan leaned her elbows on the millstone and said with infinite longing, "I can't help but wonder what the new house will look like. Do you think it can compare to the small Western-style houses of the two section chiefs at the meat processing plant?"

Wu Wei was stunned: "Have you been there?"

"Of course," Qiao Yuyan admitted confidently, but her face looked a little unnatural as she said, "After all, it was you who designed the little Western-style building, so of course I have to go and see it."

Wu Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, our little Western-style house is definitely more beautiful and luxurious than the homes of the two section chiefs. Besides, we have such a big yard. How can it be compared to those small yards in the county town?"

Qiao Yuyan suddenly realized: "No wonder you insisted on making the homestead so big. Dad thought you were provoked by him."

"Of course not!" Wu Wei said with a righteous and sweet voice: "It is to be worthy of you, a good wife."

After lunch.

Qiao Yuyan packed up her lunch box and went back.

Wu Wei had just squatted at the door for a while when he saw two large Liberation trucks coming from afar on the country road.

It seems that sand, gravel, cement and other things have all arrived at once.

Now the open space in the vegetable garden at the door was completely filled with garbage, leaving no space left.

The next day was March 3nd.

Accompanied by bursts of rumbling sounds, the main room of the fenced courtyard collapsed, raising clouds of smoke and dust.

The knocked-over prefabricated blocks collapsed into pieces and had no use other than being used as road paving soil.

As for the kitchen in the east room, it has adobe walls and is even less useful.

After the entire fence was torn down, the most useful things turned out to be the old bricks that had been picked up and stacked to form the courtyard wall and the chicken coop.

But right now, no matter whether it is useful or not, we have to clear the area first.
