Early the next morning, Foreman Zhao led a group of people to the door of Chu Rong's house in a mighty manner. Sitting on the bullock cart, Foreman Zhao was smacking his cigarette pipes and pots, and looked at the smiles on the faces of his subordinates with disgust.
"Put down your smiling faces, you're going to make a difference, and every one of you, when you talk about working for Mrs. Chu's family, it's like you've been beaten up."
The craftsmen didn't care, they still laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, and the bold ones yelled up and down, "Head Zhao, didn't you rush over here too? I heard from my wife that your wife brought her little grandson back home." My mother's family is gone, why didn't you go to accompany me?"
Foreman Zhao stared bull-eyed, and stretched out his hand as if to knock on the man's forehead.
Everyone laughed, and it happened that the door opened, and Chu Rong came out from inside.
After seeing the ceremony, Chu Rong explained the requirements for the renovation of the old house. Foreman Zhao thought about it for a while, and made a promise to complete the project in five days.
The old house was not big, but it was said that food and housing were included. Chu Rong thought that the lady had a boy in her house. Half, half as a school, and half as a residence for female students.
Foreman Zhao quickly called the craftsmen to work. The old house had been cleared out a long time ago, and everything had been moved to the house on the top of the mountain. Shoujiang and his wife had already moved there, waiting for the craftsmen to come and build the house.
They were working, and Chu Rong was relieved, jokingly told them to work hard, and entertained them with a table of butchered vegetables at noon.
Hearing this, more than a dozen craftsmen howled and groaned, rolled up their sleeves and rushed into the old courtyard like bandits.
Chu Rong stared blankly, and after a long while, she patted her chest and curled her lips. She was really excited.
Seeing them start to work, Chu Rong was about to turn around and go back to the courtyard when she heard Widow Li calling her from a distance, so she couldn't help but stop.
"Sister-in-law Li, slow down." Seeing that her hair was a little disheveled when she ran, Chu Rong hurriedly stepped forward to support her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What is it that made you so anxious, and I won't run."
Widow Li took a few breaths, put her hands on her hips and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just heard that you have started construction here, and I want to know how much money it will cost to build a house."
Chu Rong raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, then shouted loudly and called foreman Zhao over.
"I still have to ask Uncle Zhao about building the house. The craftsmen under him are very skilled. They did all the work on my house and the mountain."
Chu Rong pointed to Foreman Zhao who came over, and said with a smile.
Widow Li nodded, and waited for Foreman Zhao to come to her, and first greeted her politely, "Foreman Zhao, I am next door to Miss Chu, and I would like to ask about the money needed to build a green brick and tile house?"
Hearing this, Foreman Zhao glanced at Chu Rong first, and then said with a smile, "Since we are on good terms with Mrs. Chu, then let's not talk nonsense. To build a house like Mrs. Chu's house, it would be worthwhile to say nothing." One hundred taels, but this courtyard is bigger, bigger than the secondary courtyard in the county."
Widow Li gasped when she heard this, and waved her hands again and again, "I can't afford this, I want an ordinary one. There are three main rooms in my yard, two wing rooms on the east and west sides, and two tofu mills." These are the workshops I use.¡±
"If this is the case, it's easy. A thousand green bricks are more than enough. These few days we can start with a small job, wait for five days to finish the work on Mrs. Chu's side, and your side will also use it." Five days."
Having said that, Foreman Zhao paused for a moment, then glanced at Chu Rong again. Seeing that she didn't respond, he murmured in his heart, but he still spoke out.
"You don't have to pay for these five days. It's just that Mrs. Chu delays some work and takes care of the meal in the evening, so that the craftsmen can work for an extra hour. For the next five days, it costs eighty yuan a day."
Foreman Zhao saw that this strange woman was incomparable with Chu Rong's family's conditions, and because he knew Chu Rong, he gave him a preferential price. You must know that Chu Rong's wages are one hundred yuan. Still have a meal.
When he saw the smile on the corner of Chu Rong's mouth, Foreman Zhao felt relieved, seeing that he had made the right bet, Mrs. Chu didn't care about that meal.
"Will this be too troublesome?" Widow Li looked up at Chu Rong and asked in confusion.
Chu Rong smiled, first asked Foreman Zhao to go back, and then dragged Widow Li into the house, "Sister-in-law Li, don't think too much, this is just a matter of course."
When Widow Li heard this, she was not so awkward, she pulled Chu Rong to thank her.
"Haha, tell me, the way I earn money is all your idea, and the money I earn to build a house is taking advantage of you, okay, anyway, the debt is not overwhelming, if you owe it, you owe it, don't think about it Let sister-in-law pay it back."
After the matter of building the house was settled, Widow Li let go and started joking.
Chu Rong also followed her, nodded with a smile, and put on an appearance that she didn't need to pay back.
Widow Li laughed when she saw this, she didn't know what she thought of while smiling, she stopped suddenly, and said mysteriously, "Sister, something big happened last night." (Remember this site website: www.hlnovel .com
