The foreman of the masons was curious at first. He had been working as a construction team for so many years, and this was the first time that a child had taken part in such an important matter.

But when he took a closer look, he realized that this child had gone to school and was literate.

That makes sense.

He looked carefully at the paper Xu Bao's family gave him, and saw the black line on his forehead. To be honest, it was a circle, a cross, or a picture. He really didn't understand.

This cannot be blamed on Xu Baojia. He is only in the third grade, so it is understandable that he does not know many words.

But it doesn't matter if the foreman doesn't understand, Xu Bao's family is already there, and he will be responsible for explaining.

"Uncle, this, this, this is a house for sleeping, this is a warehouse, here is a pigsty and the like, and here is a toilet, not an open-air dry toilet, and the yard and kitchen are slightly larger.

A little bit, can you give me a good order?"

The foreman listened carefully to Xu Baojia's explanation, then compared it with the drawings, and his frown relaxed.

"According to what you said, if the yard is bigger, then the sleeping room can only be built slightly smaller. According to the size of the foundation of your house, it should be fine."

The foreman took out the pen pinned to his ear and simply made annotations next to it as Xu Baojia said.

"That's okay." Xu Youfu listened on the side: "The house is smaller and warmer in winter. The main thing is this toilet. You have to tidy it up."

As he said that, Xu Youfu took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over: "Just take the trouble."

The foreman didn't say anything, just took it and pinned it to the other ear.

"Uncle, just feel free to leave it to us. We have all gone to the county to build houses, and we will build one for your family according to the toilets in the county."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll leave it to you, I'll rest assured."

Xu Youfu simply took a whole box of cigarettes and stuffed it into the foreman's hand.

When the foreman saw it, he realized that the good guy was actually Hongta Shan, so he quickly took it and put it in his pocket.

"Uncle, just keep your heart in your stomach."

At this time, building a house is not just a family affair, relatives and neighbors will come to help.

Especially during this time after the autumn harvest, if nothing happens at home, everyone will come over.

The Xu family is well-connected, and there are a lot of people coming. The men help with lifting and picking up, or helping with mixing cement, etc., while the women boil water to make tea, or look at something.

More people means greater power, and the foundation can be laid in just one day.

Xu Youyuan also helped there. His family didn't have much relationship with Xu Youfu's family before, but because of the purchase of rice seeds and sweet potato seedlings, the distance between the two families became much closer.

Since he got a lot of benefits from following the Xu family, he has put himself on the Xu family's boat, so this time he was busy building a house for the Xu family and there was no ambiguity at all.

When he was resting, he looked at the huge house of the Xu family, and his eyes were full of envy. After the envy was over, it turned into motivation. As long as he followed the footsteps of the Xu family, he could also have a big house in a few years.

The two most important points in building a house are the foundation and the upper beams.

Xu Youfu bought a lot of candies on the day of Liang Liang. As soon as the firecrackers were set off, many people stood aside waiting.

As the head of the family, Xu Youfu sprinkled candies on the roof beams, and the adults and children below would rush to grab them. The more people who grabbed them, the better.

Sang Wei was also included in this group. By virtue of her small size and dexterity, she was able to grab the most candies by going in and out of the crowd, so much that she had to lift up the hem of her clothes to carry them around.
