Chapter 348: The House Is Built

"Aren't there small harvesters now? It's carried on the back, and the saw wheel side is facing the rice, it's quite fast, right?"

Zhang Zhang Yanping couldn't help but ask.

"No," Song Song Sancheng waved his hand: "I tried it at the store in town, it's especially heavy, like you young people without strength, you can't even lift your arms after waving it twice."

They could... but, there's no need!

"Besides, that thing burns oil, and the wear and tear of the saw blade in front is also high. The machine is not expensive, three or five hundred yuan, but if it gets stuck when used, it really delays..."

He said as he went, and couldn't help but miss the past:

"I was a good hand at harvesting rice before, I could harvest one and a half fen of rice fields in an hour."

Song Song Youde also nodded: "Indeed, your work is better than mine, I could only harvest one fen of land."

The father and son added together, these two mu of land could be finished in one day, which is the main reason why they didn't want to spend money.

The two recalled the past and discussed it well.

Old Man Li was not to be outdone: "Don't look at my old age, I can also help harvest two handfuls, it will definitely be finished in one day!"

The bold words of the three people made Song Tan stunned as soon as she stepped into the gate!

She earned so much money, isn't it to improve the lives of her family and make them less hard?

Turning her head, her own father and grandfather wanted to harvest rice themselves—in this hot weather, if they get heatstroke and fall into the field, what is she working so hard for?

So she waved her hand: "No one move."

"I'll hire someone, 150 a day is fine, right?"

Men and women in the village can do it, just hire two people to finish it in a day, why bother to be exhausted?

At most, if people can't finish it in a day, her family can lend a hand, which can be considered as satisfying the addiction of harvesting rice—after all, they haven't planted rice for decades.

Song Song Youde and Song Song Sancheng didn't really want to harvest rice, and now they could accept this price.

After all, it's normal to hire people to do farm work during the busy farming season!

This time can be freed up, they can also choose seeds, hoe the land, and raise seedlings!

At this moment, they nodded briskly:

"Okay."

And then entrusted Old Man Li: "Drain the water in the rice field a bit more when the time comes, so as not to sink your feet. After harvesting the rice, let it dry in the field first, and I will clear a courtyard here to dry..."

Old Man Li was also worried: "The field must be drained, but no matter how you drain it, there will definitely be dampness in these few days. The rice dries slowly on it. And if there is heavy rain or something, it's not easy to collect..."

Summer's face, a child's face, are all unpredictable, heavy rain comes as soon as it says, must be prevented.

And before that, they also need to re-select seeds and raise seedlings, striving to quickly burn straw and plow the land after harvesting the rice, and then plant the next crop.

As for the place to dry...

"No need to clear it specifically."

Song Tan reminded: "You forgot, the engineering team said it was basically completed two days ago."

Of course, furniture, soft furnishings, and doors and windows have not been arranged, but all the main bodies have been completed. Water and electricity pipes are also secure, and latex paint and cement tiles have been laid flat.

The old house renovation procedure submitted at the beginning was signed and stamped by Little Zhu Zhishu, and the application submitted was family farm housing renovation.

Their own place was renovated, and they spent money to gather the homesteads of several households together, and let the staff from the land office come to take photos and archive.

Excluding the big courtyard outside, the total area of the whole house is 370 square meters.

Plus the three-story main building, the side room is 1-2 stories...

How spacious it is!

The land office also took photos and archived and verified it... which means, there is no problem with the house!

If you are in a hurry, you can move in now.

White walls and gray tiles, upturned eaves and long corridors. Stone slabs paved the ground, flower beds were empty... greening hasn't entered the courtyard, it already looks quite Chinese-style aesthetic.

Most importantly, spacious.

Not only is the courtyard wide and neat, but the open space in front of the door is also extra square, which is very suitable for drying rice.

It has been too hot these few days, and the engineering team worked meticulously, and everyone didn't pay attention. At this moment, hearing this, they were pleasantly surprised:

"So fast?!"

Song Song Sancheng was full of joy, and then couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Indeed fast! Originally, it took a lot of effort to build the floor, and it had to be rammed down desperately. Now people have ramming machines, and they finished a day's work in two or three strokes... This high-tech is different."

And then he stared at Song Tan, asking the most important topic: "How much did this house cost in total?"

How much did it cost? Naturally, it didn't cost little. Calculating it, the income of this half year was basically smashed in.

Not to mention anything else, just the depth of the foundation pit of the main building was 2 meters 7, and the width was a full meter! Plus the side room and others...

The engineering team's quotation for the whole package was 89,000 yuan.

The ground beam uses 8 steel bars of 80 cm, plus the board surface laying layer, 3 floors plus side rooms on both sides, the whole package cost more than 400,000...

In recent years, material costs have risen year after year, the price of cement is rising day by day, and even red bricks cost 5 cents a piece. When the whole account is calculated, Song Tan's heart is twitching.

At this moment, she can't say it directly.

So she avoided the important and took the easy: "The water, electricity, and latex paint in the house are all done. If it weren't for the time spent on waterproofing, painting, and drying, it should have been done half a month ago. I went to see it, there is no smell at all."

After all, rural houses have much higher floor heights than commercial residential buildings. Without doors and windows installed, the ventilation is excellent. The heat evaporates, and when the big wind blows, the remaining formaldehyde can't stay.

However, just in case, after the engineering team handed over tonight, they will pull a dozen industrial big fans in to blow.

"Everyone can take a look when you have nothing to do, and by the way, think about how to clean up your own room."

The batch of furniture purchased by Zhao Zhao Fangyuan has arrived, which was included in the design drawing from the beginning, but some details can be adjusted again.

This time, not to mention Song Song Sancheng, even Xin Jun and Zhang Zhang Yanping were full of expectations!

Not to mention anything else, the new house has enough toilets!

Everyone couldn't even care about the rice, and calculated happily: "If you say so, can't we move in next month?"

"Oh my! Then we have to hold a big housewarming meal!" This is Song Song Sancheng.

Seventh Grand-uncle was also energetic: "I have to go see the kitchen! I still have a whole set of cutting boards, I have to see where it is suitable to put them!"

Qiaoqiao looked left and right: "Then do I have a place to study?"

Until Wu Lan was secretly pondering: At that time, the design drawing left a large space for the side room, and it would be no problem to live with more than a dozen people!

If that's the case, can we take the opportunity of the hot weather to pick up the children's grandparents?

Not counting on the old people to do work, purely wanting to let them be idle, giving themselves a chance to accompany them. By the way, let the children's aunt who has taken care of the old people for many years also relax. ===== CHAPTER 349 =====
