Chapter 328 Need more money
If you want to take a bath in summer, you don't have to fetch water back and forth. You only need to turn on the faucet and fill the bathtub with water.
Although farmers in the countryside just jump into the river when they want to take a bath on a hot summer day, this is done by children and adults.
The female relatives at home have no choice. Even if there is a bathtub at home, they will not be able to take a bath as much as they want because of the trouble of fetching water.
Now the women can take a bath whenever they want, no one cares.
Before this, the people in their upper and lower villages didn't even know what a faucet was, let alone good well water. Why did they install some long and short pipes to automatically supply water.
Anyway, someone from Taohua Village told me what the water pumping equipment was called, saying that it would make it easier for people living in the building to use water.
Of course it is convenient. Just turn the faucet and water comes out. How can it be inconvenient?
Pipelines and pumping equipment need to be paid for, and each household has to pay a water fee of 100 cents per month.
But when you think about coming back from a busy day, you don’t have to worry about running out of water at home. If you share the cost of key equipment, it doesn’t cost much per household, and you can have water comfortably. Who wouldn’t want to?
There is also a floor. If you don’t have a floor at home, you just need to shovel the ground flat and step on it repeatedly. However, the house built in Taohua Village has special floors and floor tiles.
After the floor has been wiped, it will be bright and comfortable for people to sleep on. There will still be loose soil or dust over time.
Before, they were wondering why the balcony was built outwards and specially made of steel bars. Now they know that the balcony can be used to dry clothes and serve as a tea seat for drinking tea.
Country people don't have the pleasure of drinking tea, but there is a place like this, where two chairs are placed. When you are free, you can sit there and look at the mountains and water. How comfortable can you describe it?
There are some functions that you can use, but you can’t live without them.
Especially in comparison, it seems that the new house built by oneself lacks many functions.
People who have not signed up for collective house building are a little confused. Isn't a house just for living? It can be enough for a big family. How come the houses built in Taohua Village are so fancy and have so many functions.
The key is that the windows of the houses built in Taohua Village are all made of colored glaze.
You must know that colored glaze is more expensive than steel bars.
Look at the wooden windows of your home, and then look at the lithium alloy window frames and glazed windows in the houses built for the villagers in Taohua Village. They are bright and clean, can block wind and rain without blocking the light, and are extremely convenient to open and close.
Sure enough, you have to throw away things when comparing goods, and comparing people to others can make people angry.
People who previously felt that they were being taken advantage of by saving money by building their own houses felt so regretful after looking at other people's buildings in the village.
They are all from the same village, and it’s not like they don’t have money. It feels so bad to be so inferior to others.
After suffering for a few days, they couldn't help but beg Zhou Yang and Kong Daming.
The newly built house cost more than one hundred and two hundred taels of silver, so it was impossible to say no to it.
But water and methane, they also want it.
"Village Chief, it stands to reason that we are all from the same village. Can the water from the faucet be supplied to us?"
"Yes, village chief, my family also raises 200 chickens and 400 ducks. There is a lot of chicken and duck excrement, and we also need help from the biogas digester."
"Village Chief, can you help us speak to Supervisor Bai?"
Supervisor Bai is Bai Dayong, and he is responsible for the construction of houses in the upper and lower villages.
"Yes, village chief, we don't take advantage in vain. We take the money and we are willing to give it as much as we need."
"This..." Zhou Yang pretended to hesitate.
Kong Daming also looked embarrassed: "This matter is really difficult to handle." "Village chief, we also know that we shouldn't, but we have no choice."
"Yes, village chief, think of a way."
"Village Chief..."
Baitao had actually expected this situation.
If you have enough food and clothing, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. People are social animals, and they will have a desire to compare, unless the gap is too big.
For people in the same village, other people's families are like this, and their own family is like this. It's okay for a short time, but over time, it feels like being scratched by a cat.
When Zhou Yang and Kong Daming came to find them, Bai Dayong already knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
After listening to the two people's requests, Bai Dayong frowned: "Hey, this matter is not troublesome even if it is troublesome, but it is troublesome even if it is not troublesome."
Kong Daming: "Supervisor Bai might as well talk about it. If there is anything we need to cooperate with, we will definitely cooperate."
He had also expected that such a situation might happen before, so after asking Bai Dayong, he was naturally confident, otherwise he would not have dared to ask this question.
Zhou Yang also nodded: "There were twenty-three households in our village who built their own houses before, and they all wanted to apply for water pipes and biogas pools."
After a pause, Zhou Yang looked troubled: "We are all from the same village, and the villagers also want to live a good life. It's just that they were afraid of hard times before, so they didn't sign up to build a building together."
Kong Daming also quickly reported the number of households in his side: "Our village has more households, there are twenty-eight households."
When Bai Dayong heard this, he sighed and nodded: "We are all farmers. It is not easy to make money. Naturally, I understand everyone's concerns."
"Since you two have come to open your mouth, I will send some craftsmen back."
"But if the project is different, the price will naturally be different." Just kidding, what if this situation happens again in the future.
Therefore, Bai Dayong had already thought about it from the beginning, and adding money was a disguised punishment.
Zhou Yang and Kong Daming looked at each other and asked cautiously: "I wonder what the price is?"
Although the villagers who came to ask for help said they were willing to pay, there were only a few who were willing to pay, otherwise they wouldn't have been reluctant to part with the money and build their own houses in the first place, right?
Bai Dayong looked through the book, reported the items one by one, and started calculating the prices with a pen.
"... They need so much in total. In addition, their monthly water bill is higher than other households, which is 150 cents a month."
"It takes at least two years to balance the cost and not take advantage of other villagers. After two years, it can be reduced to the same level as other people."
The reason for making many friends is because they cannot take advantage of the people in front of them. Zhou Yang and Kong Daming, who are in the front group, will naturally not be unhappy.
Moreover, the calculated amount was less than they thought before asking.
"Okay." Zhou Yang nodded in agreement.
"No problem, very reasonable." Kong Daming also said.
Bai Dayong: "By the way, during this period, if there are other materials and accessories fees..."
Although he didn't finish what he said, Zhou Yang and Kong Daming didn't know.
The two of them responded in unison: "Yes!"
After all, there are examples of buildings being built before, so they naturally know that some materials and accessory fees should be paid.
I'm a little hungry. Is there any little cutie looking for a midnight snack?
