Chapter 248: You can live a good life even if you mess up

Chen Hui didn't understand the techniques that the plastering master talked about.

But he understood the last words.

The plasterer was very confident in himself and was sure that as long as they worked for two days, Chen Hui would keep them working even if he offered them a higher price.

"Okay! It's settled then!"

Bricklayers also have a probation period. Where can you find such a good thing?

Chen Hui agreed immediately.

"Where is your home? Take me there to see it?"

"Is the foundation ready? When do you start building the walls? Have you figured out how to build the house?"

"Forget it, take me to your house and I'll plan it for you, so that you don't have to tear down the wall and start over again after it's built!"

The plasterer was also an impatient man. He put away his flashlight and went to the construction site to check the situation.

"My home is in Chenjia Village. The house has just been demolished and the groundbreaking will not begin until the second day of next month." Chen Hui stopped him and said.

"The groundbreaking ceremony won't start until the second day of next month? Then we'll have to wait a long time for you to live!"

"How about this, you write down my home address and call me in advance when you need to work!"

The plasterer took out a piece of strangely torn paper and a pencil from his tool bag and handed them to Chen Hui.

Pointing to a corner of the paper, he said, "Write here. Don't write too big."

He dictated and Chen Hui was responsible for writing.

After he finished writing, he took a look to make sure there were no mistakes.

He tore off the small piece with the words on it, handed it to Chen Hui and said:

"Please let me know two or three days before you start building the wall. Sometimes I just happen to have other work on hand."

Chen Hui looked at the two-finger-wide piece of paper in his hand and immediately understood why the plasterer had torn the white paper into that shape.

"Master, you can earn a lot of money working for a year, right?"

Chen Hui has seen many frugal people, but it is rare to see someone who is so frugal.

"Haha, saving is a virtue." The plasterer smiled awkwardly.

"By the way, what's your name, Master?"

"Tian Ajun! Where are you, Boss?"

"Chen Hui."

"Chen Hui. What a good name! It sounds more cultured than our older generation."

Tian Ajun smiled happily.

After putting away the paper and pen, he asked again, "Boss, where did you say you live? When did you start the construction?"

"Chenjia Village, groundbreaking ceremony will be held on the second day of next month."

"Can you read? Do you have a good memory? How about I write one for you?"

Tian Ajun waved his hands repeatedly to reject Chen Hui's proposal.

After a few more polite jokes, he rode away on his bike.

"Ah Hui, is this master illiterate? Or is he afraid that you will waste his paper?"

Wu Si nudged Chen Hui with his elbow and started laughing to himself.

"It's normal for the older generation to be thrifty. If you can do this, Aunt Lanlan will be much more pleased with you."

Chen Hui talked and laughed, and the two of them walked back.

"I made some money by going to the beach on the 15th, and my mom has been treating me well lately."

"It's almost the first day of the new year. If I'm lucky and make a little more money, I can be in a good mood for another half a month." Wu Si said with a proud smile.

Chen Hui originally wanted to persuade him to do something.

Just think about it.

It is too difficult for Wu Si to change.

Once, when Huang Miao and I went out to work, we also called Wu Si, but he refused to go.

Later, both of them had some success outside and called Wu Si when they came back, but he still refused to go.

His whole life.

The first thirty years I relied on my parents, the middle thirty years on my two sisters, and the last thirty years on my children.

No pressure, good health and easy life, it's actually a pretty good life.

The only bad thing is probably that I never have much money on hand.

"Let's go, let's go back. We have to wait for my uncle to go out to sea tomorrow." The two arrived at the door of the Wu family.

Wu Si called him in to have a drink, but Chen Hui refused.

"Aren't you building a house? Why are you going out to sea again?"

"It's the second day of next month, which is still six or seven days away! Building a house costs a lot of money!"

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he waved his hand and left.

When I returned to Chen Huihong's house, I saw An Wenjing alone, writing and drawing on a piece of paper on the table.

"Where are my aunt and uncle?" Chen Hui took an exception and asked.

"Brother Chen Hui! You're back!"

"My uncle just came back and said we can go out to sea tomorrow, and then he went to someone else's house to watch TV."

"My aunt said there was nothing at home and she went out to buy something."

An Wenjing turned around and gave Chen Hui a bright smile.

"My uncle has been a little obsessed with watching TV recently. What kind of TV is so good?" Chen Hui asked curiously.

"I asked, and my uncle said everything on TV was good, even the girls in the commercials were pretty."

"I almost got beaten up by my aunt?" An Wenjing said with a smile.

Chen Hui was also amused. He sat down opposite An Wenjing and took the paper she had written and drawn on to look at it.

There is a two-story building in the painting.

There is a yard in front, with a red brick wall that encloses the current open space and the toilet.

In the middle of the wall is an exquisite iron gate.

This is almost a replica of Huang Xiu Lian's house.

In An Wenjing's opinion, this is the best house she can imagine.

"Don't look at it, I'll just draw casually!"

It would cost a lot of money to build a house like this, and even if we spend all the savings at home, it might not be enough.

An Wenjing just looked at it with a sense of longing, then took the paper back feeling a little embarrassed.

"I think it's pretty good!"

"Wait for me a moment, I'll draw one too, and we'll build the one you like."

Chen Hui said this and took out another paper from the cabinet.

He folded the paper in half and started drawing while sitting opposite An Wenjing.

An Wenjing didn't say anything either. She looked at Chen Hui expectantly, and the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.

"Brother Chen Hui, isn't this what our home originally looked like?"

"Yes, I'm afraid I'll forget it later, so I'll draw a picture and keep it, and I can make a comparison later."

"Don't look at it yet, wait until I finish drawing!"

Chen Hui said this as he continued to fill in the details into the painting.

Then he turned the paper over and began to imagine what the new house would look like. After carefully sketching it, he handed it to An Wenjing to see.

A brief look of liking flashed across An Wenjing's face, and then her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Brother Chen Hui, this light bulb is glowing, so it must be the toilet, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then the one with the word 'ji' on it is the small house where the muntjacs are kept, right?"

"Yeah! Any questions?"

"That's right. Why are they all on the roof?"

"."

Chen Hui was confused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

I took the paper back and explained to An Wenjing:
"This isn't on the roof, this is behind the house!"

"I want to take the vacant land where I used to grow vegetables, the path next to it, and the small house and toilet, and build a house."

"That way the main body of the house is perfectly large enough."

"The toilet and the small house for livestock were moved to the back of the house, next to the house and separated from the backyard."

"When the time comes, I'll build you a small yard behind the house like Huang Shuqing's."
