Chapter 42 Paying to build a house

"Excuse me, is this Captain Zhou's home?" Ye Tan asked as he stood outside the yard of Zhou Changzhu's house.

The woman who came out after hearing the sound was a woman in her forties. She stepped forward, opened the courtyard door, and asked with a smile: "You are here to see my old Zhou, right?"

This woman was Captain Zhou's daughter-in-law, her surname was Tong, and her name was Tong Meifang. She looked at Ye Tan's face and knew that several new educated youths came to the village yesterday, so she knew that this should be one of those new educated youths. I'm afraid he came to talk to Zhou Changzhu about something.

Ye Tan smiled and nodded: "Are you Aunt Zhou? My name is Ye Tan. I'm here to talk to Captain Zhou about something. In addition, I also want to ask you something."

After listening to Ye Tan's words, Tong Meifang said "Oh": "You are Ye Tan. I heard from my old Zhou that you want to ask Carpenter Liu to build some cabinets, right?"

"Yes." Ye Tan nodded.

"Come in quickly." Tong Meifang greeted Ye Tan with a smile.

Ye Tan entered the courtyard and handed the brown sugar and fruit candies in his hand to Tong Meifang: "Aunt Zhou, it's your first time coming to the door. This is a little thought."

"Hey, you kid, come here and get something." Tong Meifang hurriedly refused, but the smile on her face became deeper. This girl knows etiquette, but fruit candies are okay, this Brown sugar is a bit more expensive, and it's fine in cities and towns now, but it's hard for people in villages to buy brown sugar.

"Auntie, just keep it, it's just a little thought." Ye Tan put the thing in Tong Meifang's hand with a smile: "Besides, I have to work hard for auntie to help me."

Tong Meifang saw that Ye Tan really wanted to give, and thought that her daughter-in-law had just become pregnant. After all these years, she had finally become pregnant, so she had to make up for it, so she took the opportunity and accepted it: "Okay, then Auntie is shameless. Accept it, and if you don’t understand anything from now on, just ask Auntie.”

"Hey, thank you, auntie."

At this time, Zhou Changzhu walked out of the house and asked, "Who is here?"

Ye Tan smiled and greeted: "Captain Zhou."

"Ye Tan." Zhou Changzhu remembered yesterday that Ye Tan said that he wanted to ask Carpenter Liu to make a cabinet, and said, "Just in time, I will ask your aunt to take you to Carpenter Liu's house later. If you want to fight, just tell Carpenter Liu directly. Can."

"Captain Zhou, I also want to talk to you about something." Ye Tan said hurriedly.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it in the house." Zhou Changzhu had a good impression of Ye Tan. He was not a pretentious person. He took the initiative to live in the utility room, but he helped him solve a big problem. Therefore, where he could, he I don’t mind helping Ye Tan more.

"It's like this. I saw that there was an open space in the backyard of our educated youth camp. It was not enough space for female educated youths to live in. I was thinking if I could build a house with my own money. Don't worry, Captain Zhou. You can help me find someone to build a house, and I will pay whatever it takes." After entering the house and sitting down, Ye Tan told Zhou Changzhu his thoughts.

In the meantime, a woman in her twenties poured a glass of water for Ye Tan, placed it next to her, and smiled kindly at her. This was Yu Juan, Zhou Changzhu's daughter-in-law. Her mother-in-law just told her that Ye Tan gave her a glass of water. I gave him three ounces of brown sugar, which was just enough to supplement the nutrition of the child in her belly.

Ye Tan responded with a busy smile and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

After listening to Ye Tan's words, Zhou Changzhu immediately understood what Ye Tan meant: "You want to live by yourself?"

Ye Tan smiled sheepishly: "Well, is that okay?"

"It's not impossible." Zhou Changzhu thought for a while. Although there was no precedent for this in the village before, it is still possible. After all, the house over there for female educated youths is not enough to live in, so a new house must be built. Since it is To build a house, labor is required, and the village has to pay for the labor. To put it bluntly, the village has to spend money to build the house.

But if Ye Tan builds the house with his own money, not to mention that the village does not have to pay, those who build the house can also get cash directly, which is cheaper for both parties.

But what should be made clear in advance still needs to be made clear: "However, Ye Tan, you also know that although you paid to build the house, the foundation still belongs to the village. In other words, if you paid to build the house, you can only Although you live in the house, the house does not belong to you. In the future, the house will be returned to the village. As for the money you spent to build the house, it can only be regarded as the cost of the village temporarily using the foundation for you. Do you think you can accept this? "

"Okay." Ye Tan didn't expect to get back the money to build the house. She just wanted an independent space. After all, she had too many secrets. If someone discovered it, she would be in big trouble: " However, Captain Zhou, since I paid for the house to be built, I hope that I will have the independent right to use the house while I live in that house, and the village cannot arrange for others to live in my house, is that okay?"

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Changzhu was not an ink-writer, so he agreed directly. After all, someone paid for the house to be built. What's going on if you stuff people into someone's house without their consent? He, Zhou Changzhu, couldn't do such a shameless thing.

Seeing that Zhou Changzhu agreed, Ye Tan became excited and said hurriedly: "Captain Zhou, please help me call someone to build a house. In addition, I also want to build a kitchen by myself, and I also want to cook alone. .”

"Okay." Zhou Changzhu nodded. Even if Ye Tan didn't say anything, they wanted to build a kitchen together. The open space in the backyard is not close to the kitchen in the front yard. If there is no fire pit in winter, this place can freeze someone to death: " See if there is anything else you want. If there is no problem, I will arrange for people to go to the brick kiln tomorrow to pull bricks, and then organize people to build a house. I will tell you how much it will cost then."

"No problem." Ye Tan thought for a moment and then said, "Captain Zhou, just tell me how much it costs in total."

Zhou Changzhu smiled: "Okay."

Seeing that Ye Tan and Zhou Changzhu had agreed on things, Tong Meifang smiled and said to Ye Tan, "Let's go to Carpenter Liu's house now while it's still daylight."

"Okay." Ye Tan stood up and said goodbye to Zhou Changzhu, and followed Tong Meifang to Liu Carpenter's house.

On the way to Liu Carpenter's house, Tong Meifang touched Ye Tan's hair and said pitifully: "You are too thin. Fortunately, although we are in a village, the soil and water support people, and you are still young. Slowly... It can be raised back.”

Due to more than ten years of abuse, the original owner was not only short, yellow and thin, but his hair was also dry and dull.

Ye Tan thought that he didn't look like a rich man now. He would have to build a house and fire the fire himself. It was inevitable that no one would doubt him or even have other ideas, so he simply told the original owner's name. I briefly told Tong Meifang what happened, and finally said: "Fortunately, the leaders in the factory gave me justice. Although I still have to go to the countryside, they also helped me get some compensation."
