Chapter 78 77. The First Household Resident
At the end of mid-January, six building block houses were completed, and Wang Bo rode a motorcycle to receive them.
These six houses are arranged in sequence on the heart of the homestead, facing south, and in front of it is the No. 8 highway that is being repaired, an absolute golden location.
The shape of the house is quite beautiful, similar to the prefabricated houses commonly seen in American dramas. The red roof, white walls, and doors and windows are all made of light aluminum alloy, which looks even better than brick and tile houses.
Roger came here on purpose to explain it to him, and he told the truth: "This house must be comfortable to live in, but it can be lived in at most ten to fifteen years. After a long time, the modules will age and become unusable."
Wang Bo said: "Then why can't the module be replaced? Replace whichever module is aging."
"Because ten years is enough time for all the modules to age."
Lao Wang stopped talking, no wonder the building block house is not popular all over the world, and the service life is flawed.
After sending Roger away, there was a couple who stayed by the house. The two looked like they were in their thirties, dressed in standard New Zealand whites, and stood together to look at these houses.
Wang Bo had noticed the two before, but he thought they were Roger's people, but now it seems that they are not.
"Hi, two, who are you?" Old Wang asked tentatively.
The young Caucasian woman said: "Hi, excuse me sir, let me introduce myself first, my name is Barbara Cage, this is my husband Anderson Cage, we are from Sky City, you are Sunset Town mayor?"
Sky City is the nickname of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, because that city has New Zealand's landmark buildings and the tallest tower, the Sky Tower.
Wang Bo nodded for confirmation, and shook hands with the two of them one by one.
Barbara said, "That's it. We want to settle down in Sunset Town. Do you know what the requirements are?"
Hearing this, Old Wang was overjoyed. Strictly speaking, this was the first resident of his town, and he, the mayor, was finally no longer a bare-bones commander!
For a moment, Lao Wang had mixed feelings. He didn't care about emotion, and said enthusiastically: "No, no, there is no request. Oh, or it should be, the request is very simple, as long as you don't break the law, OK?"
Barbara smiled and said, "Thank you, mayor, of course we won't break the law, right, Anderson?!"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lao Wang felt that Barbara's tone was a bit harsh, as if an adult was scolding a child.
Anderson was relatively taciturn, but he nodded after hearing what his wife said.
Wang Bo asked: "Then where do you live? In addition, to be honest, you two, the transportation in our town is not very convenient now, and it may not be able to provide you with the means to earn a living."
He's also cunning, taking the opportunity to snap a hat and say 'we're in town', reinforcing the couple's sense of belonging.
Barbara didn't care, and said: "It's no problem, we will find a way to make a living by ourselves, and the means of earning a living are easier. I am a painter, and I create here, and then my agent will exchange it for me."
Old Wang wanted to clap his hands and say yes, God bless, Guan Erye bless, his original idea was indeed correct, as long as buildings are built next to the road, there will be residents coming.
Although he expected that the merchants who came to the town were the same as the residents, and they were also painters. As soon as Barbara came, he immediately felt that the town had an artistic style.
Cage and his wife rented a house on the easternmost side, and Lao Wang gave them extremely favorable rent. He only charged 100 yuan a month for such a two-story building of 80 square meters.
In the evening, Lao Wang went back and specially made a sweet and sour chicken nugget and a plate of egg pancakes for the couple.
When he arrived by motorcycle, there was an RV parked on the grass next to the small building, and the Cages, with two children, one big and one small, were packing up.
The Cowboy's motorcycle is very powerful, and the roar of the exhaust pipe is louder than the horn, so you never have to worry about hitting people, because people know that there is a car coming from a long distance.
In fact, if you don't see the motorcycle but only listen to the sound of the engine and exhaust, some people will think that Lao Wang is driving a tractor...
When Wang Bo got out of the car, Barbara, wearing sleeves, came up and asked with a smile, "Hey, mayor, what's the matter?"
Lao Wang raised the lunch box and said, "It's nothing, I have prepared some local dishes. You know, our Chinese food is not bad. I'm here to invite you to try it."
A boy who was about six or seven years old and wearing a little lolita who was younger than Daier ran over, grabbed one of Barbara's legs, and looked at Lao Wang curiously.
"This is your Uncle Wang, come, Sally, Kelvin, say hello to Uncle Wang." Barbara said with a smile, looking at the two children.
"Uncle Wang." Little Lolita called out timidly.
Old Wang laughed loudly, knelt down and touched the heads of the two little guys, and said: "Good boy, come on, you rest, Uncle Wang will help your parents to work."
Seeing that he really wanted to get started, Anderson shyly said that he didn't need to be busy, and Lao Wang said that it was no problem. Since he came to a small town, he would be a neighbor from now on, and neighbors should help each other.
Wang Bo took the young man and the army commander with him. The latter seems to have improved in IQ now. Except for the old Wang who looks down on other creatures, the two children wanted to tease it, but it said "your mother exploded" in disdain and flew away.
The strong man also has a heart of soul, he has become strong and confident, and the Mastiff loves life and the characteristics of children are beginning to show.
Little Lolita and Little Zhengtai looked for it to play, and it happily accompanied it. Little Zhengtai had a Frisbee in his hand. He threw it out again and again, and the strong man picked it up again and again. !"
It is very simple to pack the furniture and items on the RV. Pharaoh is very strong, and the refrigerator, washing machine and cabinet are very light in his hands.
Now for the small town, the most difficult problem is water and electricity, and the water is easy to solve. The small town is close to Shuangzi Lake, and the groundwater is abundant. He only needs to dig a well.
The power problem is not easy to solve for the time being. Although the construction of the substation is almost complete, the line has not yet been extended.
For the Barbara couple, this problem is easy to solve, because their RV has a diesel generator, and they can use the generator to generate electricity temporarily.
Wang Bo deliberately explained the problem: "You should have seen it when you came. The country is building a substation for our town, and it's almost done. As long as the circuit is pulled up, you can get water and electricity."
Barbara smiled and said, "That's no problem, Mayor. In fact, this kind of primitive life is quite good, and we like it very much."
Wang Bo nodded with a smile. He knew that the family had a special reason for coming to the town—certainly not because they liked the primitive life.
But he called Robert in the afternoon to check, and Barbara and his wife were fine, so he didn't have to get to the bottom of it.
****The first residents are here, so is the new month, and it's almost a new week, the shells must be begging for votes, and hopefully we can experience an even better brand new month!
