Chapter 86 Helping to build a house
"What does he mean by this? To build his own house? Does he dislike us? Doesn't he want to live with us?" Wu Jianguo muttered.
"I don't think that's entirely true. Didn't you see that their house is built close to Zhou Ran's house? It's probably to facilitate more contact with them in the future." Wang Huihui answered, feeling a little uncomfortable.
If she had known that Shen Zhian was rich, she should have found an opportunity to get close to this man and establish a good relationship with him.
Even Shen Zhi'an, a pig-headed person like Zhou Ran, can fall in love with her. Isn't she prettier than Zhou Ran?
As a result, Shen Zhian was taken advantage of by Zhou Ran.
Speaking of Zhou Ran, Song Wenhui and Xu Jingya's expressions changed slightly.
I feel very bad when I see people who I originally looked down upon, but now I see them living better and better.
Xu Jingya felt even more resentful because her koi luck disappeared when she was with Song Wenhui. In the past few days, she had been thinking about whether there was something wrong with Song Wenhui's aura and who he was with. Whose bad luck is behind.
Zhou Ran is better off now that he has left Song Wenhui, but what about her? Is it the same?
After this idea appeared in her mind, her little feelings for Song Wenhui couldn't help but begin to waver.
…
The Zhou family regarded Shen Zhi'an's house building as their own business, so they quickly found a bricklayer to come over.
The masons who build houses are professionals. The Zhou family has never learned how to do it, so naturally they don't know how to do it.
However, if you can't do the work of a mason, they can do the work of a small laborer, and you can go and help when the time comes.
As for masons, hiring someone to build a house requires labor.
Although it is an economic era and the state does not allow buying and selling, the wages earned by such craftsmen are indeed within the allowed range, and the most common ones are masons and carpenters.
The wages of a bricklayer are not low, one dollar and a half a day.
The job of a mason is not easy, only one dollar and five dollars a day can be worth the labor.
Basically, after a day's work, it's not easy to go home for lunch, so the host's family will provide a lunch.
Of course, Shen Zhian is a grown man who doesn't know how to cook. He would hate the food he cooked even if he ate it, let alone entertain others. It would be embarrassing.
The Zhou family feels that since there are not many masons in the family to eat, they can just come to the Zhou family to eat.
After Zhou Shuhua helped find the mason, he mentioned the matter to Shen Zhian.
You have to talk to Shen Zhian about the daily wages and food required by the masons. After all, Shen Zhian is building the house, not the Zhou family. These must be discussed with the owner.
Shen Zhian didn't know much about this, but after listening to Zhou Shuhua's introduction, he was able to accept the salary.
It's just that I might have to ask Zhou's family for lunch, as he really doesn't know how to cook.
The Zhou family had helped Shen Zhian think about it from the beginning, so even if Shen Zhian didn't say anything, their family would take the initiative to help.
Next, we talked about the issue of the number of masons, whether to find more masons or fewer masons. Shen Zhian was in a hurry to build the house quickly.
Of course, Shen Zhian thought that the sooner the better, so that he could move out of the educated youth center as soon as possible.
Zhou Shuhua then appointed six masons.
In addition to masons, several small laborers must be found.
Compared with masons, the price of laborers is cheaper. A normal day's labor is one yuan.
Zhou Shuhua felt that Shen Zhian would have to spend a lot of money if he found a part-time job, which was not as good as what his family could do.
It's now May, and the summer harvest hasn't started yet, so the production team isn't particularly busy.
Their family told Zhou Shusheng that they would be given some leave, and they would come directly to help Shen Zhian build a house.
The Zhou family has a total of five laborers, all of whom are very capable, and there are enough people.
With so many people working together, a few houses can be built in twenty days at most, or half a month at best.
After Shen Zhi'an's house was built, June came and the weather got hotter, and the production team just entered the summer harvest stage. Their family did not waste time earning work points for the summer harvest.
The Zhou family regards Shen Zhian as their future son-in-law. If their family helps, they plan to do so for free.
Shen Zhian naturally disagreed when he saw that the Zhou family offered to help but did not accept payment.
If the Zhou family can help him recruit people, they have already helped a lot. How can the Zhou family keep giving.
Moreover, the time the Zhou family spent helping out would have cost their family a lot of work points.
He Chunhua said, "You kid, don't you think of us as a family? Why are we so divided?
You usually send us things a lot. Not to mention anything else, how much are those game foods worth in total?
We haven’t seen you outside, so you can’t talk to us, right?”
Besides, Shen Zhian dug up ginseng and shared thousands of dollars with his family, which was nothing compared to this small amount of wages.
Really speaking, they got a huge bargain.
Except for Zhou Ran, He Chunhua didn't tell anyone about the fact that Shen Zhi'an sold ginseng and shared the money with his family.
So when Liu Lifen heard that her parents-in-law didn't need any wages and were giving them free help, she thought they were crazy.
Don’t you know what your family’s financial situation is?
If you don’t make money but don’t earn it, is there something wrong with your brain?
Unfortunately, she couldn't speak at her husband's house, and even if she had any opinions, she didn't dare to say anything.
Zhou Ran coughed a few times.
Hey, do the family really think Shen Zhian is the future son-in-law?
This misunderstanding is too big, the boss looks down on her.
Shen Zhian did not insist this time. Hearing He Chunhua's words, he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, listen to Auntie."
Shen Zhian did not pay the Zhou family wages, but planned to make up for it from other places, so that the Zhou family would not suffer any loss.
After the workers were found, Shen Zhian's house was built in a hurry.
Zhou Ran and Shen Zhian were both busy.
While the school was under construction and would not start until September, the two planned to use the time to run around and sell goods on the black market.
Zhou Ran's 100,000 kilograms of rice may not be sold within a few months.
When the rice is sold out, the farm system's wheat and soybeans should also be harvested.
The farm system is an upgrade mode. In the later stage, not only will more varieties of plants be unlocked, but the harvesting cycle will also take less and less time.
When she has more supplies, she can earn more money.
Shen Zhian is in charge of the black market, and Zhou Ran is in charge of locating customers in safe places.
The two of them divided the labor and sold a lot of food in one day.
Eight hundred catties of grain are sold in one day.
Based on the takeout price of 30 cents per pound, that is, I earned 240 yuan.
Shen Zhian sold five hundred catties.
Zhou Ran's base price for Shen Zhian was 20 cents per catty, and he earned 10 cents for every catty he sold.
For five hundred pounds, Shen Zhian earned fifty yuan.
Zhou Ran actually has no cost, and most of the money she earns is still with her.
But for Shen Zhian, earning fifty yuan a day is really a lot.
After a year of hard work, the two returned to the production team exhausted.
The body is a little tired, but the mind is quite satisfied.
