This is the anti-theft chapter from the rebirth to the present, after so much tossing, it can finally settle down.

The idea of ​​a better life in the future made Wu Qingyuan full of energy for a while, and the next day he took the initiative to find the old village chief to solve the house problem.

During this time, there was not much work in the fields, and every household was relatively idle. As soon as he came to the door, the old village chief did not delay, and immediately took him to see the vacant houses in the village.

These are all left by the villagers who have moved their household registration and settled elsewhere. They are not particularly good houses. The good houses must have been sold to make money, so how could they keep them in vain?

Therefore, what Wu Qingyuan saw was the most common mud thatched cottage in the village, plus it was vacant for a long time and uninhabited.

But fortunately, people in ancient times were sincere in building houses. Every household was built by themselves, and the materials and craftsmanship were guaranteed, so these houses looked dilapidated, but they were still strong, and they could live in people with a little cleaning and repairing. .

Although Wu Qingyuan was a little dissatisfied, he would have to wait at least several months to rebuild it. At this moment, he could only settle it first, and then build a big house after everything was straightened out.

The formalities of the house were done quickly, and the next step was the repair work.

There is no special construction team here. Repairing houses is a must-have for men in the village. Wu Qingyuan simply asked Lin Laogen to help, and paid a few honest villagers to help.

In terms of wages, he is generous. According to the rules of the village, this kind of hard work of building a house is 30 pennies a day and includes food, and he gives 40 pennies a day to eat.

This is not because he has so much money that he has nowhere to spend, but just to repair the house. The time is not as long as the construction of the house. Everyone gets a lot of wages, so they will naturally work hard. In fact, it will not cost too much. With money, you can have a good relationship with the villagers. This business is very cost-effective.

As expected by Wu Qingyuan, the villagers' attitude towards him rose to a new level on the second day after paying the workers the completion payment.

When recognized relatives before, the villagers actually liked him very much. He was handsome, polite, and he seemed to have read books when he spoke. This kind of rough people in the village were very popular among the illiterate people. .

Now, looking at how much money he pays for building a house, anyone who understands can guess that at least he is not a poor man, so it will be more pleasing to the eye when looking at him.

It's not that everyone dislikes the poor, loves the rich, and covets something. This is a normal behavior. After all, everyone lives in the village, and all major matters are together. One is prosperous, and one is lost. No one wants to be a poor ghost to bring down the village. quality of life.

Especially when I saw Brother Zhou, who was suffering, wearing new clothes and coming out looking good, the people in the village had a better impression of him. Brother Zhou was popular in the village, and I saw that the poor child finally had a good life. , There is a good elder to take care of it, except for the original Zhou family, most people in the village are very happy.

The house repair was lively going on. Wu Qingyuan, Lin Laogen and a few villagers worked together. At noon, everyone's meal was handed over to Lin Amo and Zhou Ge'er to help with delivery.

At noon, Amo Lin and Brother Zhou came over with meals on time.

"Father, Big Brother Wu, Second Uncle, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang, it's time to eat..."

"cousin......"

The two teenagers put their things down to say hello.

Compared with Lin Amo's lively and outgoing personality, Zhou Geer hurriedly greeted Wu Qingyuan, and hurriedly took a spoon to help everyone cook. He seemed a little more introverted and not good at expressing himself.

But in fact, Brother Zhou is not an introvert, just not as lively as Lin Amo. He is still very hot on weekdays, but after suffering for more than ten years, he has a cousin who takes care of himself overnight. Well dressed, well dressed, he felt like a dream, and he felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Wu Qingyuan didn't take his embarrassment to heart. Life changed all of a sudden, and it was normal for Brother Zhou to be uncomfortable.

After working all morning, everyone was tired and hungry. The food he prepared was also very good, one meat and one vegetarian meal plus a full meal, which was much better than other meals with only vegetarian dishes. Everyone ate very deliciously.

The weather is very hot now, and Wu Qingyuan didn't let everyone continue to work after dinner. He sat under the shade of a tree to rest and chat, which didn't delay much. The villagers who came to help work fast, and they didn't miss the rest time.

There are actually very few topics to chat with the villagers. It’s not about the harvest of this year’s fields, or the gossip about who’s in the village and what’s wrong. Ordinary things are like rocks in the mountains, and they will not change for a lifetime.

However, ordinary people also have ordinary pleasures. Only those who have really experienced the pain and despair of the storm will realize how rare and precious the ordinary is.

However, Wu Qingyuan likes this kind of plain warmth very much. His biggest wish now is to settle down as soon as possible, and then find someone he likes to live with.

Drinking mung bean soup to cool off the heat and chatting with a few villagers, Wu Qingyuan was very satisfied except that the weather was too hot and there was no air conditioner, and he lamented that the standard of living in ancient times was relatively backward.

"Brother Wu, it's not too hot right now, and it will be the hottest in a few days. In fact, it's not bad, just take a bath with cold water and eat a few watermelons. It's just sad in winter, when the snow falls. It's useless to hide in the house and put the quilt cover on..."

Hearing him say that the weather was too hot, Lin Amo, who was sitting next to him, laughed and handed him another bowl of mung bean soup while talking.

"Brother Lin is right, I hate winter the most, it's so cold that I don't want to go out, and the firewood and charcoal are too expensive. My wife says every year that I don't even earn enough money to burn charcoal, it's useless, eh."

"Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law also said the same to me, but a good amount of carbon costs more than ten cents a pound, which is almost like eating meat. Who can afford to burn it every day..."

The people next to him echoed and sighed.

Wu Qingyuan suddenly stopped drinking the soup and raised his head, "A pound of carbon costs more than ten cents?"

In the past few days, he has gone to buy materials for repairing the house and has a better understanding of the prices here. One pound of carbon is only 20 cents per pound of pork. Ordinary green vegetables are even cheaper. Why is carbon so expensive.

"A dozen pennies are better, and there are cheap ones. A few pennies are worth a pound, but the cheapness is big and smokes people."

Everyone knows that it is normal for him to not know when he just arrived, so he explained patiently.

"I see."

Wu Qingyuan was relieved of the bowl, and his heart was wandering.

There are also kind-hearted villagers who reminded, "By the way, Brother Wu, I just saw that the kang in your house is broken. You should go to buy materials tomorrow, and you have to fix it together, otherwise you won't be able to live in winter, so you don't need a kang. It will cost at least five or six taels of silver to burn this charcoal open in a winter..."

"Thank you big brother, I'll buy it tomorrow, but I can't repair the kang, do you know anyone?" Wu Qingyuan nodded.

"Brother Wu, you don't need to find anyone else, Brother Dazhu will. He is the one who can repair the kang best in our village!"

As soon as he finished his words, Lin Amo picked up the conversation, pursed his lips and smiled and pointed to the stout Zhang Dazhu facing the opposite side.

Originally, Lin Laogen didn't plan to ask him to help Wu Qingyuan. Although Wu Qingyuan paid 40 cents a day, Zhang Dazhu worked as a day laborer at the landlord's house in the next village, and he was paid 50 cents a day. Make people suffer.

But who knew that Zhang Dazhu would run over on the day of the start of work, and without saying a word, he picked up the tools and started to work hard. Wu Qingyuan didn't even want the money he gave him, he just wanted to help the white worker.

The reason for this is that everyone who understands knows that he keeps staring at Brother Zhou while he eats at noon every day. It's so obvious!

At this moment, he heard Lin Amo bring the words to himself and winked at himself, Zhang Dazhu reacted, and hurriedly touched his head and stammered and replied, "Well, I will repair it! Cousin, I will repair the kang for your house tomorrow.. …”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the people present laughed hahaha. This Zhang Dazhu really had a brain.

Brother Zhou also gave him an annoyed look, then shyly hid his face behind his friend, and secretly said something stupid!

"Okay, thank you Brother Dazhu, Axi, and then serve a bowl of mung bean soup for Brother Dazhu..."

Wu Qingyuan couldn't help laughing too, nodded, and then motioned to Brother Zhou to take another bowl of soup, Axi was Brother Zhou's nickname.

Brother Zhou could not refuse, so he nodded cautiously, and then went over obediently with the soup.

When Zhang Dazhu saw Brother Zhou walking in front of him, his eyes became even more insane. He held the soup bowl and stared at the person he liked in front of him without moving, which caused everyone to make fun again.

Although it pays attention to the words of the parents' life matchmaker, it is not impossible to love freely, not to mention Zhang Tiezhu and Zhou Ge'er, everyone in the village knows about it.

Lin Amo covered his mouth and snickered, while Lin Laogen tapped him on the head with laughter and worry, and whispered a lesson in a low voice, "You have a lot of troubles, and you still learn to hold the red line, shame!"

He received a sudden knock, and Lin Amo rubbed his forehead aggrieved. Seeing that his father seemed to want a long speech, he rolled his eyes and hurriedly filled the empty bowl in his hand with soup and ran to Wu Qingyuan. .

"Brother Wu, I boiled this mung bean all morning, but it's delicious. I'll give you another bowl. You can drink more when it's hot."

While talking, he stuffed the bowl into Wu Qingyuan's hand, and then adjusted his position to hide to Wu Qingyuan's side.

When he looked back, he saw that Lin Laogen could only shut his mouth halfway through, with a cheerful and sly smile on his little face.
