Now that Zhang Guicheng is seriously injured, and he is a carpenter, Zhang Jiuyan can only invite others.

Yang Xian is in his fifties this year. He is very famous in this village. Compared with Zhang Guicheng, Zhang Guicheng has to call him a master.

When I found Yang Xian’s house, I saw that the house in his house was made of brick and wood, which was well made. Although there were no carvings, dragons and phoenixes, and the house was not big, the overall outline looked comfortable and the details were exquisite. At first glance, he was very skilled.

Looking at this house again, it has been a few years, at least twenty or thirty years. It seems that this should have been built by Yang Xian when he was young. It is used as a living place and as a business card for himself.

Zhang Jiuyan smiled slightly and praised, "This Yang Xian is smart and has a bit of a business-oriented mind."

Just as he was about to knock on the door, a lock was hung on the door and he was not at home. Zhang Jiuyan was about to leave and planned to come again tomorrow.

When I didn't want to leave, I happened to see Yang Xian coming back, a family of seven or eight, coming back together.

After a closer look, they were pushing a wooden cart, which was full of tools used by masons, and there were everything, and there were more than one same tool, but many of them.

It seems that their family is a bricklayer.

Zhang Jiuyan stepped forward and bowed, and Yang Xian returned the greeting with a smile, looking very happy.

This is not surprising. Craftsmen are like this. If others come to the door, they must have asked them to work, which means they can make money.

When he opened the door, Yang Xian asked Zhang Jiuyan to go in and sit down, and a cup of hot tea was served.

Of course, it is said that it is hot tea, but it is actually hot water. Where can ordinary people come from for the entertainment of tea? It would be nice to have hot water.

Zhang Jiuyan repeatedly claimed thanks and said conscience. If it was tea, Zhang Jiuyan would not be used to drinking it.

Then Zhang Jiuyan told Yang Xian about his request.

"Master Yang, I don't have any special requirements for this house. I just hope that the sooner I will do it, the better. As for the price, I don't worry about you, you can tell me the price."

happy.

This is the first impression Zhang Jiuyan gave to Yang Xian, but Yang Xian could not ask for a price all over the place, because years of life experience told Yang Xian that for anyone who is happy, he would give money and leave happily.

Yang Xian asked: "Brother Yan, how big is the house you are going to build? Should you buy the bricks, stones and wood yourself, or should I buy them for you?"

Zhang Jiuyan thought for a while and said, "I'm not afraid of Master Yang's joke. I don't know how big my homestead is. Why don't you go and see it with me and you quote me a price."

"OK."

Then Zhang Jiuyan took Yang Xian home to take a look. Finally, Yang Xian offered a price of five taels of silver and covered all bricks, stones and wood.

Zhang Jiuyan only had four taels of silver in his hand, and it was impossible for him to spend it all.

I still have to live and have the capital to develop. I also have to buy some food for Zhang Guicheng and his family to nourish their bodies.

It seems that I am too young and think building a house is easy.

Now that I have settled the bill, I look like the richest man in Zhangjia Village, but as soon as I build a house, I will immediately lose my rice.

Zhang Jiuyan smiled embarrassedly and said to Yang Xian: "Master Yang, I'm really sorry. The money I have in my hand is not enough. It seems that this matter has to be pushed back."

Yang Xian was not angry because he had a vain trip and said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Yan is polite. He is all from the villagers from all over the country, and he has seen each other."

Although the negotiation was not completed, Yang Xian's attitude satisfied Zhang Jiuyan. In his heart, Zhang Jiuyan recorded this Yang Xian.

In the evening, Zhang Guiyun came to Zhang Guicheng's family and found Zhang Jiuyan, saying that he could borrow a house for Zhang Jiuyan's family to live in.

It turned out that Zhang Guiyun heard that Zhang Jiuyan wanted to build a house, so he invited Master Yang Xian to come and see him, but for some reason, he didn't do it.

Zhang Guiyun happened to have an old house at home, which was left by his father before. It was always empty and no one lived there.

Zhang Jiuyan helped him a lot, and people should know how to repay kindness, so Zhang Guiyun immediately ran away to talk about this matter.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiuyan said, what else can I say? Of course I am so eager to ask for it.

It is said that sincerity is exchanged for sincerity. This sentence is really in vain. Zhang Jiuyan has realized it.

Zhang Jiuyan’s parents had no objection, so the next day, Zhang Jiuyan’s family started cleaning the empty house.

The loophole is very large and spacious, with four rooms and a kitchen, but because no one has lived in it for many years, it is very ragged, and the door is gone, and there are spider webs everywhere.

But you can live in it if you clean it, renovate it a little, install a door, build a table, chair, stool, etc.

The only flawed thing is that this empty house is located at the very edge of Zhangjia Village, next to the small road next to the village.

These days, there are becoming more and more uneasy and more refugees, so in this position, uninvited guests may come in in the future.

But if something like that happens, the situation of refugees will be very serious and it will be similar wherever they live.

After some cleaning, three days later, Zhang Jiuyan and his family finally moved in.

Zhang Jiuyan's mother was very happy to have a place to live. Although this place was not her own house, it was better than Zhang Guicheng's family, and the two families were crowded with each other.

Besides, Zhang Jiuyan is becoming more and more propositions now, which makes her very pleased and has hope for the future.

With a place to stay, the family quickly began to work.

The summer tax has been paid, and the people are about to start preparing for the collection of autumn grain.

According to the court's regulations, the collection of autumn grain cannot exceed February of the following year, which is another difficulty.

This is the dilemma and suffering of the people in ancient times. No matter how hard you struggle, as long as you are alive for one day, there will be a day of things waiting for you.

If you want to do something else to change your life, it will be difficult for you to squeeze out time and energy.

Generation is poor, generation after generation.

Sometimes it’s not that they don’t want to change, and everyone wants to live a good life, but they don’t have time, two, they don’t have the energy, and three, they can’t bear the price of failure, so they naturally find it difficult to realize their ideals.

In the next seven or eight days, Zhang Jiuyan helped his parents plant all the remaining land in his family on wheat.

However, Zhang Jiuyan did not expect much reward, because the weather was dry and there was less rain.

Secondly, the irrigation facilities in the fields are not good, the ditches are basically dry, and there are no wells, which makes the harvest look hopeless.

As for water trucks and other things, don’t think about it, there is no such thing as it is.

As farmers who have planted fields for life, everyone in Zhangjia Village knows this reality, but they still believe that there will be a good harvest.

It’s not that they are stupid, but that they are powerless in the face of cruel reality.
