Rebirth after the 1950s

The brigade headquarters is being built, you just need to pay the rent."

"If it is built uniformly, how big will the room be? Are there any plans?" Chen Enpeng asked

"I don't have any big plans. The area is about 20 square meters, 5 meters long and 4 meters wide. There is a small room inside, with a kang inside and a stove outside. You can cook by yourself or put a pottery A can or something, just boil some hot water."

"Uncle Captain, where is the private area?" I asked quickly. If it was next to the room, it could be enclosed and formed into a small courtyard.

"They're all in front of the yard," the captain said

"Can I choose a room? There will be one row for lesbians and one row for gays." Chen Junjie asked

"Originally we planned to build two rows of houses, but after our brigade cadres walked around the village today, they found that including the private land, only one row of houses could be built, and probably 21 houses could be built. The last house is a little wide. It’s narrow, but the length can be increased, and then it can be built into a canteen and woodshed.”

"Uncle Captain, can you enclose the private land and form a separate yard?" I asked

"Yes, but the adobe bricks for the courtyard wall must be discussed with the members."

"When will the construction start?" I asked again

"Start tomorrow"

"Uncle Captain, do you know how much the rent is?" Chen Enpeng asked

“2 yuan a month”

"Can"

"I can too"

"Okay, construction will start tomorrow. Every household in the village has adobe bricks and wood is ready. I will build it for the three of you first. The rest will be built before winter next year."

"Uncle Captain, we, like Comrade Li, will encircle the courtyard wall when the time comes."

"Can"

In this way, I originally planned to have a kitchen, a bedroom in the middle, and a warehouse next to it, but it was reduced by half. Alas, but this way it really saves some trouble.

Back in the house, I thought about how to arrange a 20-square-meter room.After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. Let's forget it. Let's look at it tomorrow after the work is completed and when I go to help.

After finishing the work the next day, I hurried over to help build the house. I saw that the house and yard combined must be about 180 square meters. I thought it was really not small. I told the uncle who built the house that the building should be built southwest of the main entrance. A small room, 3 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, separated in the middle, with a shower outside and a toilet inside.As for the rest, just build a woodshed. The main door does not need to be a double door, just a single door.As for the room, which is 5 meters long and 4 meters wide, it is easy to say that there is a kang in the inner room near the west wall and a stove in the outer room.Then I went to find the carpenter uncle and asked him to build two shelves according to the size of the room, as well as a kang cabinet, both of which were the largest. I also ordered a kang table, a dining table, two benches, two buckets, and a Bathtubs, etc. Anyway, I bought one or two that I could use at home.

Chen Enpeng and Chen Junjie looked at it and picked some.The two of them were not in a hurry, because they had paid rent to live in a fellow villager's house and could live there for a month, so the first house they built was for themselves, but it was built quickly. Everyone was I came over to help build it after I finished the work. The adobe bricks and other materials were ready-made, and the cement and other materials were purchased immediately, but it was also fast, and it was built in about a week.A small courtyard of 180 square meters was built in this way. I was filled with emotion after seeing it. As expected, I will live here in the next few years.

Uncle Gu Laoliu, a carpenter and furniture maker, also has some furniture at home. He only lacks a few shelves. This is not difficult. First, put the furniture and shelves where they should be placed. In the evening, when everyone is resting, Uncle Gu and his family help Move your luggage over.There was really too much luggage. Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were afraid that people in the village would gossip and it would be unpleasant, so they moved it at night.

Two days ago, I took the time to find Grandpa Huang and help me run errands to order a few large water tanks. I also asked Chen Enpeng and the others if they wanted it. If so, it would be cheaper. They also asked themselves why they wanted to buy water tanks:

"The water tank can not only hold water, but also food. Instead, we need to cover it with wooden boards and then use stones to suppress it. Then the mouse holes will not be able to get in."

"Okay, we want it too, Mianmian, how many water jars do you plan to ask for?" Chen Enpeng said

"First of all, we need five large water tanks, two for grain, one for grain, and one for pickling sauerkraut and the like in winter. I heard that there is no vegetables to eat in this place in winter, and people can't do it without eating vegetables. Oral ulcers are easy to get. Let’s put another one in the toilet, and dig a hole and bury it in it when the time comes.”

"Okay, each of us also needs five water jugs, and there are more."

"I'm going to get some small pickle jars, earthenware jars or something like that."

"Okay, Mianmian, whatever you want, give us a set, but we don't have a pot now. After the house is built in a few days, we will buy two pots," Chen Enpeng said

"Mianmian, tell me, what else do we need to buy? We don't know how to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. We are short of everything," Chen Junjie said.

"You two are so young, yet you still lack everything."

"Not big, but only two years older than you," Chen Enpeng said.

"Okay, I'll make a list for you later. You can go ahead and buy it. But first, you can check with the carpenter uncle or everyone in the village to see if they have any. If not, you can go to the nearby supermarket to see if they have it. If you really don't have it, go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Take a look. But you need to have a ticket. If you don’t have a ticket and you’re not in a hurry to use it, you can borrow it from me. Anyway, I moved my family here, and I don’t even have a rag at home. I’m willing to throw it away.”

"Okay, I won't be with you when the time comes."

"Okay, what can I do?"

"A few of us are alone in a foreign land, and it's us who should help."

"That's what you said" Chen Enpeng said

"How have you been at work lately?"

"It's okay, I just can't bear it," Chen Junjie said.

"Sure" I said

"You won't be able to bear it, right? It's impossible," Chen Junjie asked in surprise.

"That's not true. Now I'm working behind my aunt. I work six minutes a day. I don't feel tired. But you two should get used to it as soon as possible. Otherwise, after the autumn harvest, winter will start here, and you won't be able to wait until spring next year. It’s March and April. If you don’t work for these six months and you don’t have food, how will you two survive?”

"Don't worry about this, we know it well, otherwise we wouldn't have persisted for so long."

"Okay, it's good to know. You guys should get used to it quickly. Don't be a grinder like other members every day. After we finish the work in advance, we will go into the mountains to find some wild vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, etc., and eat them together. We have to get through the winter no matter what. ,right"
