Leisurely reborn

After all, this is a rural area, and the area of ​​the general homestead will not be too small.Besides, the Zhou family was not a small family in the past, so the yard is even bigger.

Looking at such a large yard, Chen Youran couldn't help but wonder how the Zhou family escaped those extraordinary ten years.

Such a yard will definitely be searched over and over again.

If this yard was left in the past, it should be quite good, but looking at it now, it is too outdated.

The surrounding area has long been two-story and three-story buildings, and the wooden doors and windows have been lost, and aluminum alloy glass windows have been installed, as well as rolling doors or stainless steel doors that open.And the Zhou family's yard turned out to be full of bungalows, the dirtiest kind of bungalows.

Chen Youran even suspected that there were still people living in it.

Knocked on the door, but no one answered, but there were voices in the yard.

Chen Youran simply pushed the door open.

The gate was closed, and the bolt inside was not fastened.

Chen Youran opened the door, and there was a big courtyard in front of him.The yard is very beautiful, with many flowers and plants.Of course, it's not a rare variety, but the kind of rose rose that is easy to grow.There is also an old style press well in the yard.

Walking in, Chen Youran saw the innermost side of the yard at a glance, there were a lot of bricks, sand and stones piled up.There is still a lot of cement piled up in a shed next to it.

Beside the cement shed, a man in overalls was stirring cement, stones and sand mixed with water with a shovel.It's actually concrete, but it's not made by a professional concrete mixing truck, but by hand...

Chen Youran just stood there, watching the man move.

The well-mixed cement is loaded with a shovel into a bucket truck commonly used on the construction site, and pushed away after it is full.Not far in front of the mixing of cement, there is a dug foundation, which contains the steel bars used to lay the foundation, the kind that are kneaded and staggered.Now it is necessary to pour the mixed cement in, fill the entire trench of the foundation, condense the steel bars, and fill the foundation!

Fuck, this is really building a house.

Chen Youran was dumbfounded.

To be honest, at first glance, he really didn't recognize that the person stirring the cement was Zhou Yanzhi.

At this moment, Chen Youran felt dumbfounded, what are you doing?

The person on the phone really didn't lie to him, this is building a house.But the question is, is it necessary for Zhou Yanzhi to do this kind of physical work?

With Zhou Yanzhi's brain, he can earn a building back in the time he spends doing this kind of work.

Chen Youran walked over. He must have been tired and in a bad mood because of Zhou Yanzhi, but what he didn't expect was that Zhou Yanzhi's face was covered with sweat and dust, and he had already turned into a cat, but he didn't feel any sorrow at all. color!

The moment he saw Chen Youran, Zhou Yanzhi was surprised first, and then pleasantly surprised. He even dropped the things in his hand, ran over to Chen Youran, hugged Chen Youran's waist and spun around a few times!

Chen Youran was dumbfounded.

That little little cleanliness fan didn't know where to go right now, but he didn't feel disgusted by being hugged by such a clay figurine.Also, what made him even more puzzled was, what was this person happy about?

"Stop, let me down first, what are you planning to do?" Chen Youran asked, "How do you come here to build a house and do it yourself? What about the engineering team?"

Zhou Yanzhi smiled brilliantly, even with a muddy face on his face, he was so handsome that Chen Youran's heart beat wildly.

"Guess." Zhou Yanzhi pecked Chen Youran's face, very happy.

"...Are you stimulated? You're not in a normal state of mind, that's why you're doing this job here." Chen Youran stared.

As he said that, he looked at the houses around him that stood upright, but in his eyes, they were not as good as pig houses, "Where did the engineering team build this house? I can see it at a glance It can be seen that the heights of the two sides are different, and how can the eaves be made like this?"

Chen Youran couldn't help complaining.He had worked in the engineering team back then, and his eyesight was quite poisonous, not to mention making so many mistakes, even if he was only a few degrees wrong, he could still see it.

Zhou Yanzhi coughed lightly, "The front one was built by my old man. The next one was built by my second aunt, and this one was built by my fourth brother. Now, I'm building the next one. "

Chen Youran's jaw almost dropped from shock.

"This is your Zhou family..."

Zhou Yanzhi raised his eyebrows brightly, "This rule was passed down from the old man. When the old man married my mother, my mother's family disagreed, saying that my old man didn't even have a decent house. Later, my old man built it himself in a fit of anger. I bought a house and came out. Don’t look at the house that looks very earthy now, but it was the most beautiful in the ten miles and eight towns back then. At that time, every house was adobe or even thatched house, only the old man built a red brick house. Even though there is only one room, it is enough."

"Then what about the next few rooms?"

Zhou Yanzhi smiled, "The Zhou family is not a big family, but for this sake, no matter whether it is marriage or career, it is impossible for everyone in the family to do whatever they want. What the Zhou family can do is to choose as many as possible for the children of the family. Opportunity. But if you want to jump out of these choices, you must prove to the family that you have the ability."

"Being able to build a house is considered capable?" Chen Youran's expression was extremely strange.

"Of course not. Building a house is called perseverance and determination. I have proved my ability in this financial crisis. The next step is perseverance. Many times people make impulsive decisions. Building a house is not so much a punishment as a punishment. It's better to give you enough time to think about whether you really made up your mind to do that, and you won't regret it no matter what!"

Zhou Yanzhi was very firm.

Chen Youran was completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Yanzhi said again: "Back then, the family had already paved the way for the fourth uncle and went directly to the system, but the fourth uncle insisted on joining the army. That's not counting, he still wants to join the kind of army that puts his life on the sword. The army. The family disagreed, so the fourth uncle built that house. The second aunt, it was earlier, and it was very sensitive at that time. The second aunt insisted on marrying a foreign doctor and going abroad. It was because the family disagreed, so the second aunt repaired it Then one, she and uncle repaired it together."

Chen Youran's mood at this time was quite complicated, and he looked at Zhou Yanzhi with shock.

"Youran, as long as I build this room, we can be together in an open and honest manner." Zhou Yanzhi's voice suddenly softened.

Chen Youran clenched her fists tightly.

He never thought that it would be such a result.

"Hey, my cement!" Zhou Yanzhi hurried to get it, but while the two were talking, the cement had solidified and could not be used...

Chen Youran looked at Zhou Yanzhi who was in a hurry, and couldn't explain the feeling in his heart.

He took off his coat, unbuttoned his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and unbuttoned his collar.

"I'll do it." Chen Youran took the shovel from Zhou Yanzhi's hand.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Chen Youran suddenly grabbed Zhou Yanzhi's hand.

Zhou Yanzhi was helpless, "It's nothing. I haven't worked for a long time."

Zhou Yanzhi's hands were full of blisters, which had burst and formed blood scabs.

It was only later that Chen Youran found out that Zhou Yanzhi unloaded all the things used to build the house here from the car.

The sand and stones were poured in by people's cars directly from the opened back wall.As for the cement, one of Zhou Yan's bags was moved out of the car and brought in again.And the piles of bricks piled up at the base of the wall were also unloaded by Zhou Yanzhi from the car one by one...

Chen Youran really admired the old man of the Zhou family for coming up with such a method.

For Zhou Yanzhi and the others, doing this kind of work must be fatal.And if you do it alone, that is simply a mission against the heavens.

But if there is a little looseness in the heart, you can't stick to it to the end.

And if the descendants of the Zhou family can insist on building a house by themselves to prove their determination, then this perseverance is really unstoppable.Therefore, there is no need to spend more words to persuade, as long as the actual actions are enough.

With two people working, the progress is a little faster.

Although the house to be built is not big, just a one-story house of fifteen square meters and a height of about 3.5 meters, the problem is that only one person and two people are working, and the amount of work is... simply amazing!

"Who dug this foundation?" Chen Youran asked, the level is really average, that is, a small farm house, so I don't pay much attention to it.It is impossible to have such a foundation on a large construction site.

"Me. I drive an excavator and dig it myself, and my master taught me."

"..." Chen Youran was completely speechless.

Chen Youran hadn't done this kind of physical work for a long time, and blood blisters quickly appeared on her hands.

He couldn't help but smile wryly, this life has really been so smooth, and he hasn't done any work on weekdays, and his hands are so tender that they don't look like his own.

"You go and help me cook, I'm hungry. I'll do it slowly, and I should be able to finish pouring the foundation tonight." Zhou Yanzhi said, "In fact, the most tiring thing these days is not doing this work, but doing it." You have to cook for yourself.”

In a word, Chen Youran couldn't help laughing.Indeed, after a day's work and a good meal, I feel better.It would be a torment for someone like Zhou Yanzhi to cook by himself.Sure enough, the difficulty of this test has been raised by two levels just because of cooking!

Chen Youran nodded, "Where is the kitchen?"

"It's in the front room. There are vegetables in it. Shibing brings me some vegetables and meat every day. I originally planned to fry pork chops tonight. Anyway, I don't know what to do with the pork."

Chen Youran shook her head and laughed: "Then let's fry pork chops tonight, it will definitely satisfy you."

The kitchen is very primitive, similar to the old kitchen of Chen Youran's house, it is also an earthen stove.Chen Youran didn't feel unfamiliar when using it.

Someone probably hasn't eaten well these days, so let's make a good meal tonight.

Chen Youran smiled while handling the ingredients, but she didn't know why, she burst into tears when she smiled...
