526 Look For Me
Chief Lu felt much better and smiled, “That’s what Lizheng said as well. He said that you’ve always been like this, but he still wanted me to let you know. Lizheng knows that some people are st*pid and are afraid of getting into trouble. If something really happens, don’t worry. I’ll go find Lizheng immediately and settle it for you.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both thanked him politely.
“I should be thanking you instead. You guys still have to make lunch, right? It’s getting late, go back and make lunch.” Chief Lu said with a smile.
…
The next morning, bricks and tiles were delivered one after another.
There were so many bricks and tiles. Even if they had many carriages, it would take them a few days to deliver them. They couldn’t finish it in a day.
Before the sky turned dark, Chief Lu had received the title deed from Lizheng, which had been stamped with the official seal that day, and he immediately sent it over to Jiang Yue’s family.
With the title deed, it meant that the large piece of land belonged to their family, and they could build houses on it at any time.
Last night, Xue Erfu had already started looking for people to build their house. They had to make ice during the day and had no time to manage the house in the afternoon, so they could only look for workers at night. Regardless of the village chief’s words, he had originally intended to look for people in the nearby villages. He thought that he would be more familiar with the people, but he didn’t look for them randomly. He looked for people who had worked in town and helped build brick houses before. It was important to have such an experience, building a house was a big deal, and it couldn’t be done carelessly.
The harvesting season had ended, and most people had no work other than drying the rice. Since their family wanted to hire people, they were naturally willing to find anyone that wanted to help.
This included Li Qingshu and Lu Zhuangniu.
Previously, Li Qingshu and Lu Zhuangniu had to help their family for the ice, so they couldn’t send ice to Jiang Yue’s family. They had always felt that it was a pity. Now, they are going to build a brick house. It would take at least one or two months to complete. In any case, they were all extremely happy to be asked to help build the house.
The salary was still fifteen coins a day. Now it has the addition of a free lunch.
At first, they had planned to pay a little more every day and not prepare lunch, but some of the house builders were too far away from Locust Village. It was too far for them to go back and forth for lunch, so he hired two maids to cook lunch at Li Qingshu’s house for the house builders.
The house was too crowded now. Shao Shuting had been there for Shiye and could tell that the place was getting crowded.
The people who had been hired to help with the harvest had already paid their wages, but three of them had worked in town before, building brick houses, so they were hired again.
The three of them were elated with the news.
When the bricks and other materials for building the house were ready, they could start building.
When Sanfu sent ice to the Pei family;s residence, he went to also buy the other materials from town that the house needed. When there were many things, the shop would naturally arrange for an ox cart or a horse drawn carriage to deliver them. When there were not that many things, Sanfu would directly bring them back himself.
Unknowingly, two days had passed.
The bricks and tiles were still being transported by the horse carriage from time to time. They were afraid that the bumps would be too high and they would be damaged. The horse carriage was actually not moving very fast, but it was still faster than an ox cart. It was estimated that after one day of pulling, they would be able to gather all the bricks and tiles.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had nothing to do, so they stood at the gate of Xue Dagui’s yard and watched the workers unload the bricks from the carriage.
