Chapter 183 You Are Resting
"It's not your birthday now, this is not a birthday cake." Su Xing said, "When it's your birthday, I'll buy you a cake."
"Who is that for?" Su Ran's voice sounded a little disappointed, her mouth was pouted, and her eyes were still staring at the cake.
Su Xing smiled and touched Su Ran's head: "Who else can I give it to? I'm giving it to you. Take it and eat it."
"But today is not my birthday." Su Ran was disappointed.
"Who told you that you can only eat cake on your birthday? You can also eat cake on other than birthdays. Don't get the cream on your clothes. There is a spoon on it. Use the spoon to dig out and eat it yourself." Su Xing said.
.
My family is in a rural area, and the conditions are not very good. I don't pay much attention to it. I don't celebrate my birthday every year. I just celebrated my birthday once when I was ten years old and had cake once.
Su Xing still remembers it, but Su Ran probably forgot it long ago.
It is really a luxury to be able to eat cream cake for once.
Su Ran carefully picked up the cake on the table and looked at it: "Brother, how do you open this?"
"Take off the white plastic lid on top and you can eat." Su Xing casually picked up the white plastic lid on the cake and prepared to throw it away.
"Don't throw it away, there's cream on it." Su Ran stopped Su Xing.
"How do you eat such a small amount of cream? Isn't there a big piece of cake? If you eat the cream on top, throw away the lid. It's of no use." Su Xing said.
"No, there's cream on it, I want to eat it." Su Ran took the lid from Su Xing's hand and used a small spoon to scrape off the cream on the lid bit by bit.
A layer of cream accumulated on the small spoon. Su Ran put it in her mouth and took a bite. She looked down at the cake, thought for a moment, and then put the lid back on.
"Why are you covering it up and not eating it?" Su Xing asked.
"Don't eat it now. We'll eat it later." Su Ran said, "Mom hasn't come back yet. We'll eat together when she comes back."
"You can just eat it yourself." Su Xing said with a smile.
Su Ran shook her head, held the cake in both hands and said to Su Xing: "Brother, go upstairs. I have a room upstairs. There are cabinets where I can put my clothes and a desk where I can do my homework."
"Okay, let's go up and take a look." The cabinets at home have been packed, but Su Xing hasn't looked at them yet.
On the second floor, Su Ran took Su Xing to the room on the east side: "This room is mine. Your room is on the opposite side and is larger than mine. Mom said that when you get married, you will stay in that room."
After opening the door, there was still a slight smell in the room. Su Xing specifically told Xiong Bing that the furniture in the room had not been painted, but even so, there was still some smell.
"Remember to keep the windows open to ventilate the room and diffuse the smell in the house, do you know?" After entering the house, Su Xing explained to Su Ran.
"I know, you told me when you came back last time that I open the window every day. My mother also puts orange peels in the cabinet, saying they can absorb the smell." Su Ran nodded.
Su Ran's room was fifteen or sixteen square meters, with a small wardrobe and a desk, including the bed, which was also made by carpenters. Su Ran entered the room and sat at the desk: "Brother, look, this is mine.
The desk, where I study after school every day, and the desk lamp, which my dad bought for me, turns on when I press it, and turns off when I press it again, so there is no need to turn on the overhead light."
"When doing homework, it is better to turn on the light above your head. The desk lamp is too dim. Be careful of damaging your eyes." Su Xing looked at the furniture and found that they were all in good condition. He went to his room and looked again, including
Upstairs and downstairs, they all went around in a circle.
A three-story small building can be built for only 100,000 yuan, including decoration. Su Xing is quite satisfied. If it were built ten or twenty years later, it would only cost 100,000 yuan to build a rough structure, labor costs, and materials.
The cost has skyrocketed. If you add the cost of decoration, if you want to achieve such an effect, you don't have to spend 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, which is not easy to do.
Su Xing went to his fourth uncle Su Changlong's house. Su Changlong was in the house. Su Xing gave the black plastic bag to Su Changlong: "Here is the remaining money, click on it and pay off all the debts you owed before.
"
"If you are tight on money, you don't have to be so anxious. I'll tell them and just give them the money during the Chinese New Year." Su Changlong said, "If it doesn't delay their Chinese New Year, there won't be any big problem."
"It's better to get married. It's not easy for everyone to go out to work. I don't feel at ease if it takes a few months." Su Xing said.
The money you hold in your hands belongs to you. Su Xing understands this and doesn't want to delay it.
"That's okay, you just have to know what you're doing." Su Changlong nodded, "The master you hired from the city is pretty good at his craftsmanship, and he works conscientiously and responsibly. Why don't you go home and take a look? All the cabinets are packed, including the bed.
The desks are all very well made.”
"I've seen it. If he's not good at craftsmanship or good at people, I won't let him do it." Su Xing said, "Uncle Fourth, how many jobs can you take on in a month?"
"I'm not sure. It can't be calculated on a monthly basis, it has to be calculated on a yearly basis. I think I can get about six or seven jobs a year. There are too many people doing this. Many other villages want to build houses, so they come to their village.
I couldn’t get jobs from other people in the past.” Su Changlong said, “A few days ago, a family in Wangjiadawan wanted to build a house and asked me to build it. Yesterday, he told me that he would not build it for me but for them.
People in the village do it.”
"People from a village will definitely be willing to do the work for their own people." Su Xing said, "Have you ever thought about taking over the decoration work like Xiong Bing did?"
"Do you think that everyone in the village is like you? It costs nearly 100,000 yuan to build a house and the decoration is so good. I have been working as a mason for many years, and I have never seen a few people build a house and still decorate it.
Just put a layer of cement on the floor and put a layer of putty on the walls and that's it, but we can't do any decoration." Su Changlong said with a smile.
"It must be difficult to do decoration in the village now. I didn't ask you to do it in the village. You can go to the city to take over the decoration work. Don't you have a relationship like Xiong Bing now?" Su Xing said, "You can have more relationships with him.
Get in touch and he can also introduce some jobs to you."
"Decoration is different from building a house, right?" Su Changlong was a little worried, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
"There are indeed some differences, but the main thing is the craftsmanship. The difference is in the standards. Once you do it a few times, you will become familiar with it." Su Xing said, "Houses in the city will sell better and better, and decoration is definitely indispensable.
Moreover, the decoration industry is easier than building a house in the village. After all, you work indoors and you can earn more."
"Will houses in the city sell better and better?" Su Changlong was a little confused. "Many people have houses in the village. Will they go to the city to buy another house?"
"If you don't buy a house, it will be difficult to get a wife. I will definitely buy a house." Su Xing nodded, "I'm serious about the decoration. You should think about it."
"I will consider what you mentioned." Su Changlong nodded, "I also talked with Xiong Bing when he was working here. He mentioned it to me a little bit. When will I contact him again?
Let’s take a look and see how to do it.”
