Chapter 168 Fire
"Slowly, you can keep Brother Chen's things!" Mu Xiu's sharp eyes, and she immediately said loudly as Zhao Junlan was still carrying a bag.
"You stinky girl, do you want to be beaten? You don't have the share of your words here!" Mu Xiu's repeated words made Zhao Junlan very angry.
"Stay for me, even if you feed the dogs, I won't give it to you!" Chen Xuhui saw Zhao Junlan bullying Mu Xiu, and he was even more angry than he was bullied.
"Yes, you took away Xuhui's food. What will he eat in the future and leave behind!" Chen Xiangyang said with a dark face.
Hearing Chen Xiangyang's words, Zhao Junlan was reluctant to take off the burden on her body and threw it directly in front of Chen Xuhui. The two left in shame.
After everyone dispersed, Chen Xuhui said to Mu Xiu gratefully: "Thank you."
"This is all a trivial matter. You have to lock the door when you go out in the future. After all, it is difficult for villains to guard against." Mu Xiu said.
"Um."
"Then let's go back first. If you have any questions, come and come to us." Mushui also stepped forward and said.
Chen Xuhui took the bag back to the house and put the sausages and the like. After looking at the sheets, he looked at the oil on the sheets, so he put the sheets into the wooden basin and went to wash the sheets by the river.
Just as Chen Xuhui was washing the bed sheets, he heard someone shouting that the fire was on fire. He stood up and looked at it. He found that the fire seemed to be in the direction of Mushui's house. Chen Xuhui was shocked and immediately stopped washing the bed sheets and ran over there with the wooden barrel.
When I ran to the place, I saw that the wooden house that was originally his was on fire. At this time, the fire was everywhere, but fortunately, the wooden house was built alone on the edge of the field. Soon, after the wooden house was burned, the fire was extinguished by itself.
Chen Xuhui was homeless again, and in the end, Mushui built a shed for Chen Xuhui next to his house, so that he could have a place to sleep.
"Dad, mom, I want to renovate the house and build a few more houses." Two days later, Mu Xiu looked at the yard and said suddenly when everyone had dinner together.
"I also think the yard is too big, so I can build a few more rooms, so that I can reserve a room for Pandi and Xiaohua." Mushui agreed very much.
"Brother Chen has been living in the shed outside. It's okay if he is not cold today. How can he live in it when it's winter? It's just like building two rooms for Brother Chen outside." Mu Xiu's words shocked Chen Xuhui, and then a warm current surged into his heart.
"Yes, Mu Xiu was still considerate, so that's the decision."
"Then let's plan for a good plan." Mu Xiu went into the house and took out the paper and pen and started writing.
Now there are only three rooms and one main hall, which happens to be a Mushui couple, Mu Xiu and Li Pan's room. The room where Mu Xiaocao and Li Pan lived was the room where miscellaneous items were placed in the house before. It was not very big, so they only had a bed and a wardrobe. Now Li Pan's writing is written in the main hall. The miscellaneous items at home are usually placed under the eaves or in the pigpen that is temporarily empty. The chicken pen and duck pen are also built with wood and straw sheds.
The family needs to build another room for various agricultural household miscellaneous items, a room for Li Pandi, and a room for Mu Xiaohua. If conditions permit, it would be even better to build all the chicken and duck circles into brick houses. Mu Xiu also wants to make the toilet and bathroom. After traveling through time, this is what she wants to change the most.
Chen Xuhui lives alone, just outside the Muxiu family's backyard. He just needs to build two brick houses by pressing the wall of Muxiu family, one with a large one and the other with a small one with a kitchen.
"The two bedrooms need twenty square meters, a storage room with sixteen square meters, and each toilet and bath room with ten square meters. Brother Chen's house will first build one, which is twenty-five square meters. Dad, don't you know how to build a house? How many people do you need to hire?" Mu Xiu asked.
"That... I want to build a small kitchen, it doesn't have to be too big. Just have a stove and put a pot on it." Chen Xuhui said softly.
"Brother Chen, just have dinner at my house." Mu Xiu thought Chen Xuhui was embarrassed to have dinner at her house.
"No... Mu Xiu, you misunderstood. I often get hungry in the middle of the night..." Chen Xuhui's face turned red after saying this. You know, he also ate a lot at Mu Xiu's house on weekdays.
Mu Xiu glanced at Chen Xuhui and thought to himself that he was too careless. As the saying goes, half a boy, I am poor. Chen Xuhui is just the time to eat whatever he eats and drinks.
"Okay, build a small kitchen for Brother Chen, and it's about nine square meters."
"There are eight houses in total. If you ask for help, you need to hire two experienced masters. In addition, the villagers who have helped build the house in the past will help. It will take more than half a month to work. The masters will take care of the meals, and one dollar a day will be given by one person. Although the villagers don't have to pay, they have to take care of the meals. They have to see meat or eggs every day. If they don't have the strength to work, the house will not be built strong." Mushui replied in contemplation.
"Those two masters cost 1 yuan a day, and half a month is at least thirty yuan. Everyone's meal expenses should be prepared for half a month." Mu Xiu calculated that the price was quite appropriate.
"There are also bricks. If all the houses are built, it will take a total of 90 square meters. We will calculate them according to 100 square meters and according to the standard size of bricks, 20,000 bricks are needed. Last time, I worked in the county town, and two blue bricks cost one cent. The bricks all cost 1,000 yuan. Otherwise, we will use mud bricks, which are cheaper." Mushui calculated the price, which was a bit astonishing.
"If mud bricks don't work, just use blue bricks." Mu Xiu directly rejected it.
"But this money..." Mu Shui looked puzzled.
"Mu Xiu, I have some money, but it's not enough..." Chen Xuhui said in embarrassment. Fortunately, he kept his money close to his body. He had nothing to do when the last fire broke out.
"There is indeed not enough money now. Brother Chen's house might as well be slowed down and he is still living in our house for the time being. In the past two days, I will go to the county town first and sell the pickle recipes, so I will have the money to build the house. But now I am in spring plowing, and I will start building the house after everyone is busy this month. However, we can make bricks and build our own bathrooms first."
Mu Xiu pondered for a moment and continued, "It's just the time to dig a drainage ditch. I dug a lot of soil and put it next to the field. Let's go here and pull them all back and make bricks first."
Mu Xiu remembered the soil piled by the fields today. The reason why she wanted to cover the toilet and bathroom herself was because she wanted to use cement bricks and didn't want others to see the clues. Other rooms can use blue bricks, but the toilet and bathroom must use cement bricks to be waterproof and moisture-proof, clean and sturdy.
