Chapter 399 Construction Begins
Hearing Boss Cui's assurance, Baiyun Xi felt relieved. Thinking about it,
All the buildings that have survived in ancient times are strong and will not collapse in the face of wind and rain.
Although there is no high-tech assistance from later generations, the ancients have the wisdom of the ancients, especially in building houses, and they are unique.
Although there are no high-rise buildings here, the quality is no worse than that of her time.
After everyone discussed it, they took the Cui family's ox cart to the town. Following Boss Cui's recommendation, they went all the way to the brick and tile factory. They ordered the bricks according to the quantity and paid a deposit, and they could be delivered the next day.
After that, the group went to Xu's Timber Store and ordered all the wood they needed. Timber is different from bricks and tiles. It needs to be prepared in advance. They only need to pay a deposit and wait for delivery.
After finishing everything, Baiyunxi returned home with his sons.
Since you are going to build a house, you must clear all the debris around the homestead in advance.
Fortunately, their family lives in the village and there are a lot of open spaces around where they can pile them up casually.
As the old mother of the family, Bai Yunxi only needs to speak, and the work falls on the brothers.
As for the shacks they live in, they can still live in them temporarily and will not affect the construction of houses.
Baiyunxi looked around and saw that several of the family's shacks were right in the center of the homestead. They only needed to be demolished when building flower beds.
By then, the house has been built and they can just move in.
After everything was planned, the Baiyunxi family started to get busy. It wasn't until Boss Cui arrived with the workers and started construction according to the auspicious time and date previously agreed upon that the villagers knew that the Bai family was going to renovate the house.
Many people were so curious that they came to watch the fun.
Baiyunxi asked Du to boil a pot of hot water and put it on the Eight Immortals table with bowls piled on top. When he was thirsty, he poured the water himself.
It is worth mentioning that the Bai family does not care about food for all the people who come to work, and they all provide their own dry food.
This aspect alone solves Baiyunxi's big problem. There is no need to prepare meals or build pots and stoves. This does not delay the second son and his wife from tending to the fields.
Onlookers stood around the fence yard, watching the movements of the Bai family and pointing.
"Oh my god, the Bai family is going to open the house quietly? I wonder what kind of house they will build?"
"No matter what we build, it will be better than the current shack."
"That's right. They say a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Bai family still has a solid foundation. Didn't you notice it before?"
"Although this is true, the Bai family did spend a lot of money because of Lao Juren's illness. I feel like they found good things in the mountains, or they made money in the wasteland."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly fell silent, looked at each other, and stared at the Bai family again, with unclear meaning in their eyes, but no one dared to step forward to make trouble.
Baiyunxi didn't pay much attention to the people watching the excitement in the village. She got water to drink when she came in, greeted them with a smile, and didn't care about anything else. As long as it didn't hinder the progress of her family's house construction, she could just watch them.
Mrs. Song rushed into the yard and looked at Bai Yunxi with a surprised look on her face. She gave her a thumbs up with a smile.
"You really don't show your face. Sister-in-law, I admire your calmness. You can start such a big thing as building a house without making a sound. You are more refreshing and decisive than ordinary gentlemen. I can't help but admire you."
Their family just got money from selling grain, and they wanted to cut meat to celebrate, so they started building a house.
