Lin Ye paid the freight and asked everyone to help unload the materials.
"Brother Ye, there are so many people." Miaomiao saw that there were a lot of stonemasons and small workers.
"It's a huge project." Lin Ye had already thought about it. Since it was going to be renovated, it would be completely remodeled, including the front and back courtyards.
As for whether the tipping budget will be exceeded, ahem, Lin Ye said that future tips can be paid in advance.
"Hmm... maybe there's not enough food for lunch today, why don't I cook noodles for you." Miaomiao, the little cook, began to make plans for lunch.
"This, feel free, remember to cook more, everyone's appetite may be a bit big." Lin Ye said to Miaomiao.
The stonemason works part-time as a contractor, and Lin Ye settles the wages with him. The rest of the part-time workers come from the stonemason. Lin Ye doesn't need to take care of this, he only needs to be responsible for the food.
Lin Ye and Aunt Ling discussed all these things yesterday.
In fact, it was also Lin Ye's first time hiring someone to work, and he didn't know much about many things.
Fortunately, these people are all from the same town, and Lin Ye even met a few of them in the town, so they are considered acquainted.
Lin Ye planned to paint the inside and outside of the house with a layer of whitewash first to make it look more comfortable.
In fact, Lin Ye didn't want to tear down the house and rebuild it. The amount of work would be too large and it would not be cost-effective. He only needed to make leak-proof repairs on the existing foundation.
Then, a layer of cement is poured on the ground, and the doors and windows are replaced with new ones. The house is considered to be renovated.
In addition, the transformation of the courtyard will also be carried out simultaneously.
Level the ground, pour cement, and all the surrounding roads need to be replaced with cement roads, so that you don’t have to come back in mud when you go out on a rainy day.
It just so happens that the weather is fine today, so it's easy to work.
Lin Ye discussed with the mason and started construction.
There are many people with great strength, and with a plan, everyone cooperates with each other, and they cooperate tacitly.
Originally, Lin Ye planned to build a dike beside the stream.
But the mason said that the rainy season had come, and there was no way to repair it now. It would be a good time to build the dam during the dry season, so Lin Ye gave up.
###Chapter 63 The Poor Sun Family###
Level the ground, dig and fill.
Hearing the movement from the yard, Miaomiao, who is busy in the kitchen, can't help but look out the window to see what's going on outside.
Although it costs a lot of money, it seems that this way makes this small home more warm and comfortable.
No need to worry about roof leaks anymore.
In the past, when it rained cats and dogs, there would be a tick-tock in the room.
In order to avoid water dripping on the ground, Miaomiao would use a washbasin to catch water at the leaking place, and then pour out half of the basin of rainwater the next morning.
This kind of life is really helpless.
So, Miaomiao looked at a corner of the yard, Lin Ye, who had taken off his coat because he was sweating from work, his eyes and brows curled up.
"Miaomiao, Tian Qishui snake soup is ready, let Xiaoye come back and drink it before going to work." In front of the medicine stove, Sun Xiao lifted the lid and looked at it, and said to Miaomiao.
Regardless of his age, in terms of decocting medicine, Miaomiao is far behind in grasping the heat and the properties of the medicine.
Miaomiao admired this very much.
But now Sun Xiao personally decocts the medicine very rarely, that is, Lin Ye can get this kind of treatment.
Miaomiao stood at the door and called Brother Ye.
Lin Ye trotted over and asked what was wrong.
"Grandpa has boiled medicine for you, drink it while it's hot." Miaomiao wore her hair in an apron, without any decorations, but she revealed a bit of coquettishness, with a slight smell of fireworks, which made people's hearts flutter.
The so-called living room above the kitchen should be like this.
Lin Ye entered the kitchen.
There was a bowl of decoction on the table, still steaming.
Sun Xiao held a cattail fan in his hand and fanned it to the wind.
"Grandpa." Lin Ye smiled.
"I can see that your health has improved in the past few days. It may be related to your physique. Some people's physique absorbs less of the medicinal properties, and even rejects the medicinal properties, but there are also some constitutions that absorb more of the medicinal properties. Maybe you are the latter. If things go on like this, maybe your cancer can really be cured." Sun Xiao is also in a very good mood.
Who said that traditional Chinese medicine is useless? Western medicine and chemotherapy, which kill one thousand enemies and harm eight hundred, are not only painful, but also have little effect.
The same is to delay the spread of cancer cells, and traditional Chinese medicine is much milder, and there is even hope for a cure.
Lin Ye tested the temperature and found that it was almost the same, so he finished the drink in one gulp.
The traditional Chinese medicine tasted bitter, and he couldn't drink it slowly. Lin Ye pinched his nose and felt stuffy.
"Grandpa, I'm off to work." Lin Ye put down the bowl and said to Sun Xiao.
After Lin Ye left, Miaomiao walked up to her grandfather: "Grandpa, is what you just said true? Brother Ye's cancer can really be cured?"
Sun Xiao nodded: "If it's the advanced stage of liver cancer, there's nothing Hua Tuo can do about it, but Xiaoye is only in the early stage, and his constitution absorbs the medicine quickly, so I'm somewhat sure..."
Sun Xiao thought for a while and said, "[-]% sure."
Miaomiao clenched her small fist, that's half the probability, which is pretty good.
"Great, why don't you put some traditional Chinese medicine in the noodles?" Miaomiao blinked.
Sun Xiao...
After tidying up the yard a bit, it was time for lunch.
Due to the large number of people, Lin Ye moved two tables and put them together in the yard. Miaomiao cooked the noodles, shoveled them into a clean washbasin, and brought them out.
"Everyone has worked hard in the morning, let's eat noodles." Miaomiao greeted everyone.
Two basins full of noodles are not enough to eat.
"Miss Sun, your cooking skills are so good, I want to eat more after eating."
"There's nothing to say about your cooking skills. I've worked in so many employers, and the noodles you cook are the best."
Everyone praised Miaomiao's cooking skills.
Miaomiao was also happy in her heart.
"By the way, Master, the interior will be decorated in the afternoon. You can tidy up the things inside after dinner, so as not to get dirty at that time." Several painting workers said to Lin Ye.
"Oh, yes." Lin Ye nodded.
Lin Ye asked someone to build a shed in the corner of the yard in the morning, and then he could temporarily vacate the things in the room.
The next few days will be sunny, so don't worry.
The Sun family didn't have much furniture, two medicine cabinets, a few tables, and the TV set that Lin Ye bought a few days ago were all gone.
However, there are really many Chinese medicines, and they are rich in types.
After eating and resting for a while, everyone helped clean up the room together.
"Brother Ye, where do we sleep at night?" Miaomiao saw that the bed had been torn down.
"Go back to sleep at my house in the village, grandpa, what do you think?" Lin Ye asked Sun Xiao for his opinion.
"I have no objection. It just so happens that the flu has been frequent recently. I'll bring some Chinese herbal medicine over there. I will make some soup to dispel the cold in the small shop at night and distribute it to the villagers." Sun Xiao said.
"Not many people came to drink the soup made last year." Miaomiao muttered.
Most of the cold soup is added with wormwood and ginger, and the taste is a bit bitter, which is really not very pleasing.
Except for some elderly people who come to drink, those young people will come to drink, even if they don't need money, they won't.
Some people even mocked the villagers who drank the soup, asking for trouble.
In this way, it is even more persuasive.
A little thankless.
"Grandpa, there is no need to make soup. I think we can make wormwood into a sachet, which can refresh the mind and dispel rheumatism. It can also have the effect of warding off the cold." Lin Ye suggested.
This method was very common in Lin Ye's previous life, but it seems that no one has used it in the parallel world.
###Chapter 64 Healing###
"This method is not bad."
Lin Ye's casual sentence made Sun Xiao's eyes light up.
Why didn't he think of it.
However, the cost of the sachet still needs some.
Lin Ye soon realized that something was wrong. The cost of a sachet, even the simplest one, was several dollars.
It's okay to give it to relatives and friends, but if you have one, the capital expenditure is not small.
This cost is obviously unbearable for Sun Xiao.
It is impossible for Lin Ye to let Grandpa Sun and Miaomiao work in vain and pay back the money after working hard for nothing.
It doesn't make sense.
But Lin Ye quickly thought of a way. He would pay the money, and the reasons were ready-made. A few days ago, almost every household in the village gave him milk or eggs. He had to return the gift.
He can even pay Sun Xiao and Miaomiao.
This is working for him.
Perfect...
Lin Ye still has feelings for the villagers of Taoyuan Village.
It can be said that he grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village, and those people in the village treated him very well.
Going to a small store to buy things, Aunt Ling never asked for a change of two or three yuan.
"Miaomiao, let's go to the town later and buy some sachets." Lin Ye said to Miaomiao.
Nowadays, there are already mass-produced sachets for sale. Of course, it is just a bag with nothing in it.
They are quite expensive, a few dollars each.
There are a lot of wormwood in the house, and it doesn't cost much.
Add some manual fees, um... the cost is about 5 yuan each, Lin Ye was thinking in his heart.
For the villagers of Taoyuan Village, the sachets are free, and after more than half a month, if the wormwood loses its smell, they can come to Lin Ye to replace it.
recycle.
But if you are not a villager, you have to charge for the sachet. Lin Ye and Miaomiao discussed it and planned to price it at 8 yuan each.
Just do it, they have nothing to do at home.
After helping to clean up the things at home, the room was vacated, and the workers began to paint the walls three times, the first time being a primer.
Lin Ye was not very clear about this and couldn't help, so he and Miaomiao went to the town to buy sachets.
For the decoration materials, Lin Ye bought all kinds of environmentally friendly paints, which do not contain formaldehyde, do not exceed the standard, and have no peculiar smell.
Of course, even so, it will take a few days to dry, ventilate, and wait for the walls and ground to dry before you can live in it.
Lin Ye also considered directly laying porcelain tiles, that is, it is now popular to directly paste porcelain tiles on the entire wall.
This method may be more practical in the north, but in the south, there is a lot of rain, and the air can squeeze out water. If the tiles are installed, the entire wall and the ground will probably be filled with water. Thinking of that scene, Lin Ye... .
Not as good as pink.
On the wooden boat, Miaomiao looked forward. On the shore and mountains, there were a lot of purples and reds, including rhododendrons, camellias, and some small white flowers. In this April sky, they were vying to bloom, as if they were participating in a beauty pageant.
Lin Ye was dazzled by what he saw.
The rapeseed flowers in the field have gradually entered the flowering period.
Rapeseed flowers in many places have already bloomed for a crop, and the rapeseed flowers in Taoyuan Village are just in full bloom, which feels like it is long overdue.
But this has something to do with the climate in the mountains.
"Brother Ye, it's so beautiful." Miaomiao murmured: "Although I was born in the mountains, I have never seen the high-rise buildings and heavy traffic you mentioned, but I am still very happy because I have this side of mountains and rivers, which are bright and colorful. .”
