Chapter 1160 Stepfather 71
Shen Yi also felt that the hay house was a good choice.
The hay shed was big, and with all their belongings, it was big enough to hold so many things.
Moreover, the cowshed and pig farm were next to each other, so if they moved to the hay house, their grandfather could help them look after the house, and they didn't have to worry about anyone in the village sneaking in and stealing things.
Early the next morning, Shen Yi taught the three male educated youth how to cook, and Yuanchun packed her luggage. The young couple took two days off and borrowed a cart from the team leader's house. They moved all their belongings to the hay house in one day and even picked all the vegetables in the backyard.
The old hen was temporarily kept in a chicken coop and raised by the Shen family.
The next day, Yuanchun went to the brigade again to borrow a hundred yuan.
The team leader was surprised and said, "Two hundred yuan is not enough for you to build a house. Many families in the village have bought adobe bricks. You can buy some. Two hundred yuan is not enough to spend."
Yuanchun smiled and said, "Uncle Captain, I want to build a brick house. Please write me a note to get some bricks and tiles. Only three thousand bricks will be enough. If not, we can use adobe."
"I can't even get one thousand, and you want three thousand? You're dreaming."
The captain was furious. "You are so rich that you are showing off. The adobe house can't even accommodate you, and you want to live in a brick house...Okay, okay, I will lend it to you, but whether the note I wrote is valid or not, you have to take it to the brick factory to check. I heard that the orders from the brick factory are all scheduled until next year."
Lao Qi said that it would be useful if there was a note.
The deputy director of the brick factory is his uncle.
Yuanchun took the hundred yuan and the note and gave them to Shen Yi when she returned. Shen Yi borrowed the captain's bicycle and went to the county town to find Lao Qi.
In the afternoon, two tractors, pulling two full trucks of blue bricks and tiles, entered Hongqi Village and stopped at the foot of the mountain behind the village.
The villagers who were working in the fields looked up when they heard the sound of the tractor.
"Hey, why are there two tractors in our village? What are they loaded with?"
"It's bricks and tiles. I heard that Xu Yuanchun sold her house to a few educated youths to live in, and she wants to build another house."
"How much did it cost?"
"I heard Jiang Zhiqing say 200 yuan."
"Oh, you really sold quite a lot."
"The Xu family has three main rooms, two side rooms, and a newly built bathroom. The backyard is also quite large. Yuanchun is a hardworking girl. She planted a lot of vegetables in the backyard. The ripe vegetables were pulled away, but they grew again in a few days. The educated youth saved money on buying vegetables."
Someone wondered, "Two hundred yuan is not enough to build a brick house. Where did she and her husband get the money to buy these bricks? These two truckloads of bricks must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"I borrowed a hundred dollars from the brigade."
"Borrowing again. The money borrowed when Er Laizi was alive has not been repaid yet, and he is borrowing money to build a house again. Tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."
Those who were originally envious and jealous stopped envying when they heard that Xu Yuanchun and his wife borrowed money to build their brick house.

No one wants to be bent over by debt when living.
"There are always wild boars and wolves running down the mountain. Why did the captain approve the Xu family's house site at the foot of the mountain? If wild boars and wolves go in in the middle of the night, it will scare people to death."
"I heard that the couple took the initiative to ask to build it there."
