move place?
Where to move?
Aunt Li and her group looked at each other in bewilderment, because moving was no joke.
Although the house is old now, it can still be lived in after some repairs after the heavy rain. The most important thing is that the homestead has been chosen there, and that thing cannot be moved away.
To rebuild the house means that in addition to the money for building the house, you also have to spend extra money to buy a residential plot.
For ordinary villagers, this is definitely a big event in life.
"Ning girl," Aunt Li asked, "We would like to move, but where can we move to?"
"Move it to my mountain," Jiang Sining had thought about it a long time ago, and said, "This way you don't have to buy land, you can save a lot of money, and you only need to pay a little tax."
"Then the money for building a house is not enough," Aunt Zhang said, "Although we have earned some money from you, it is really not enough to build a house."
"How much does it cost to build a house?" Jiang Sining asked.
Some people didn't understand even more.
Doesn’t it cost money to build a house?
"I have a brick kiln. As long as people from your families go to the kiln to work, the bricks and tiles burned can be used to build houses. There are trees in the mountains, so we can cut them down and use them." Jiang Sining said, "As for furniture and other things, the old ones can be moved here, and we can also slowly add them in the future. As for labor, there is no need. There are so many men in your five families. Even if each family takes out two, the house can be built in two or three months at most."
These words suddenly moved Aunt Li and the others.
If bricks and tiles can really be exchanged by working, then building a house wouldn't cost much money.
"Ning girl, it's not that I'm petty," Aunt Zhang asked, "Why are you helping us so much?"
Jiang Sining smiled and said, "A few aunts helped me when I was in the most difficult time, so I will naturally try my best to help you. The most important thing is that the weather this year is very strange. This heavy rain will continue for at least ten days. By then, not to mention that all the food in the fields will be gone."
Will it rain for so long?
Aunt Li and the others looked at each other. If someone had said this in the past, no one would have replied.
But Jiang Sining said that everyone now believes it firmly.
"Also," Jiang Sining said, "this winter will be very cold. It will be snowing heavily throughout the winter, and the crops will be frozen to death. If you don't have a good house, you will probably be very sad."
This made the aunts even more frightened.
As far as they could remember, they had rarely seen snow, and they had also heard others say that heavy snow in the north killed many people every year. If what Jiang Sining said was true, then their shabby house with leaks on all sides would not be able to withstand it.
"Ning, we know you are doing this for our own good," said Aunt Li. "We will go back and tell our family that we will start working in the brick kiln tomorrow!"
"Yes! Don't worry, we don't have enough money to buy bricks and tiles now, so we can only owe them for now," Aunt Zhang also said, "but we will help you make bricks and tiles in the future. When we earn enough money to buy bricks and tiles, we will leave."
Seeing that everyone had made the decision, Jiang Sining put on a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat and divided up areas for Aunt Li's family.
They are all relatively close to her house, only about 20 to 30 meters away. The five houses half surround her house. If anyone wants to come to her house in the future, they must first pass through the territories of these five houses.
Although I don't expect this to have much effect, it can at least help to prevent some trouble in the village.
When people live in this world, it is too lonely to just go it alone. Helping each other is the most suitable way to survive.
After Aunt Li and her friends returned home, they briefly told their family about the matter, and everyone immediately agreed.
After all, who wouldn't want to live in a house built with blue bricks if they have lived in a mud house or even a thatched house for more than ten lifetimes?
By then, we can lay blue bricks on the floor of the house and even the yard like Jiang Sining’s house did. How comfortable it would be!
So that afternoon, Aunt Li brought more than 60 people, young and old.
Jiang Sining helped them make some arrangements. Each family selected a young, strong and flexible person to learn how to make bricks from Uncle Zhang, while the older ones helped with odd jobs and firing the kiln.
Aunt Li and several other women were temporarily assigned to my uncle-in-law to help him make wine.
As for the children, they all went to learn reading and writing from Si Chenan.
This made Aunt Li and the others very happy.
Everyone knows that all things are inferior except reading, but for a country kid to read is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The cheapest private school in Gaochuan County paid a monthly tuition of 500 coins, and during festivals the students also had to buy a few pounds of pork, rice wine, cloth, two chickens and two pairs of cloth shoes for the teacher.
But at Jiang Sining's house, not only was he not charged a penny, he could also eat small cakes every day.
Although Jiang Sining's husband was an exile, he was once the eldest son of the general's mansion and even the emperor had seen him.
It is such a blessing from heaven to have someone like this to teach our children to read and write!
For a while, Jiang Sining's home became lively, with a large number of people coming in and out every day, and the family's wine-making workshop was also in full swing.
A few days later, the brick kiln officially started firing.
Everyone in the village looked towards the hilltop, feeling that it was a completely different world from their home.
Many people are asking about it and want to work in the brick kiln, but now there are already more people than needed, so they can only sigh and wait for the future.
Of course, Jiang Sining will definitely need a lot of people in the future, but some things cannot be given too readily, otherwise many people will not be grateful and will instead take it for granted.
Seeing how Jiang Sining managed so many people and handled such a large family business so well, Mrs. Chen wondered several times whether this daughter-in-law, who did nothing but sit on the balcony and enjoy the breeze every day, was a fairy from heaven.
Jiang Sining is collecting natural elements when he blows the wind.
The natural disaster has begun, and the difficulties she will face will increase. She must stockpile more natural elements and upgrade the space as much as possible.
If Mrs. Chen hadn't stopped her, she would have even gotten a chair to sit in the heavy rain, enjoying the wind and the rain at the same time, so that she could get double the happiness.
That afternoon, after Si Chenan finished teaching Jiang Yan and a group of other children, he also came to the balcony.
"Ma'am, aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold." Jiang Sining knew he had something to say, and asked, "Just tell me what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush."
"Haha, it turns out that nothing can escape my wife's keen eyes."
Jiang Sining thought to herself that she had studied psychology, and she could really guess what people were thinking when they looked up.
"It's like this," Si Chenan said, "Qingyu and his friends live in the mountains and feel like they have nothing to do, so they want to start their own business and earn some money for their family."
Why doesn't Jiang Sining believe that those people can do business?
I'm afraid he's been idle in the mountains for too long and can't hold back anymore, so he wants to go out and cause some trouble?
But it's not a bad idea to have such an idea. In fact, she had originally planned to wait until the right time came to let Qingyu and others participate in the family business. It's not a good idea to hide in the mountains all your life.
"Okay, you ask Qingyu to write a plan. I'll take a look and if I think it's feasible, let them go."
"Thank you, lady!"
