Chapter 106 Housing in Mashan Village
Chapter 106 Housing in Mashan Village
The next day, Chu Chen was still asleep when he was awakened by a chattering discussion.
When Chu Chen got up, he saw that the area in front of the villa was already surrounded by people.
Good morning, everyone...
After washing up, Chu Chen came down from the villa and greeted everyone.
"Chuwa, are we really getting separate rooms today?"
"Yes, Chuwa, everyone was so excited they couldn't sleep, and they woke you up early this morning."
The crowd started talking all at once, commenting at Chu Chen.
"Alright, everyone, follow me."
Without even having breakfast, Chu Chen led everyone toward the newly built village hall.
Next to the new house, an auditorium was built, which is used by the elderly people to exchange information on a regular basis.
Next to the auditorium, a new private school and clinic have been completed, now just waiting for the teachers and doctors.
Inside the auditorium, a floor plan of a new rural house had already been hung up.
Chu Chen walked onto the stage without any hesitation and addressed the audience.
"Dear fellow villagers of Mashan Village, I, Chuwazi, owe my success today entirely to your care and support."
"So this is my token of appreciation to everyone."
Chu Chen looked at everyone and pointed to the blueprints on the wall.
"Next, please welcome our village chief, Uncle Wang Defa, to distribute the houses to everyone."
It's one thing to give a joke, but it's another to make everyone remember your kindness.
However, if the allocation is not handled properly, it can easily incur resentment. Let Wang Defa handle it.
Wang Defa walked onto the stage with a happy expression.
"Quiet down. First of all, we have to thank Chuwa. Everyone, follow me and bow to Chuwa."
After Wang Defa finished speaking, he bowed to Chu Chen.
The other villagers also bowed to Chu Chen, and the children, especially the younger ones, all knelt down before him.
This scene touched Chu Chen slightly.
After everyone calmed down, Wang Defa continued to speak.
"The houses will not be allocated. Those who have contributed to Mashan Village will be chosen first, and the rest will draw lots."
"I propose that Chu Dazhuang's family, being Chu Wazi's elders, should choose their houses first, followed by Feng Wu, and then Feng Er. Does anyone have any objections?"
After Wang Defa finished speaking, everyone almost unanimously said, "No objections."
Chu Dazhuang was the first to step forward, pointing to the building in front of Chu Chen and saying, "I'll be closest to Chu boy, so I can help him out."
Feng Wu and Feng Er shared the same idea as Chu Dazhuang and also chose the two buildings next to Chu Dazhuang's.
Their goal was to be as close to Chu Chen as possible. In their minds, they believed that their current life was entirely due to this Chu boy.
After the three people made their selections, Wang Defa announced that everyone should send their family heads to draw lots.
But after shouting for a long time, no one came forward. Wang Defa thought that everyone was dissatisfied and was about to give them a lesson.
At that moment, a voice rang out from the crowd: "Uncle Wang, you haven't made your choice yet."
"Yes, Uncle Wang, you should choose it too."
"Yes, you've lost weight because of Mashan Village."
Hearing the comments below, Wang Defa couldn't help but burst into tears.
It turns out that I still hold a place in everyone's hearts.
So, unable to tell whether he was crying or laughing, they chose the house closest to the village entrance.
“I, Wang Defa, am in a good mood today, so I’ll stay here. From now on, any bad guys who want to enter Mashan Village must get my permission.”
Seeing this scene before him, Chu Chen smiled happily. It seemed that Mashan Village would only get better and better.
The sense of accomplishment I felt was immense, knowing that I had transformed Mashan Village into what it is today and that everyone is so united.
Afterwards, they drew lots, and Gu Xiufang naturally drew the first step, which was the second step, before Chu Dazhuang.
Of course, as for why he was so lucky, you'd have to ask Chu Chen.
After a busy day of moving, everyone in Mashan Village has moved into their new homes.
Considering that everyone was tired, Chu Chen arranged the dinner for the next day, at the playground next to the auditorium.
That evening, Chu Chen visited every single household.
That night, Chu Chen received countless thanks and kowtows from many children.
At Gu Xiufang's home, Gu Xiufang's lame mother-in-law held Chu Chen's hand tightly.
"Chuwazi, I have no way to repay your great kindness. Xiufang is alright, so let her be your maid who serves you tea and water."
What the hell is going on? A mother-in-law is pushing her daughter-in-law into someone else's arms.
Chu Chen smiled awkwardly and said to her, "Auntie, what are you saying? From now on, the whole Mashan Village will be one family, and everyone will be equal. There will be no such thing as maids and young masters."
After saying goodbye to Gu Xiufang's lame mother-in-law, she headed home.
Before leaving, he secretly slipped Gu Xiufang a silver note worth one hundred taels.
Gu Xiufang smiled gently at him, her eyes filled with joy and adoration.
The next morning, everyone happily came out of the new house and went to the square.
Tiger directed everyone to bring out the newly bought pots and pans from the side of the square, and then drove the van with a few young men towards Qingniu Town, looking all cocky.
Meanwhile, Chu Chen, who had gotten up early in the morning, was searching inside the space.
That's right, what he's looking for is a hydroelectric generator.
That enclosed dam could easily be used to build a small hydroelectric power station.
The main thing now is to find a generator.
After searching for a full hour in the space, they finally managed to find a few impact generators, each with a capacity of several kilowatts, in a shop.
My memory of this thing is still from the era when electricity was scarce.
Back then, almost every household had one.
With a single unit capacity of three kilowatts, it's sufficient for general household lighting.
Moreover, the newly built dam in Mashan Village is quite wide and has enough water head; the overflowing water from the dam can easily accommodate forty or fifty machines.
After a busy morning, I took out a bunch of PVC pipes, a generator, wires, light bulbs, and other similar items.
After finishing all that, I finally went to the square.
It was only mid-morning, but the aroma of meat already filled the entire Mashan Village.
Upon seeing Chu Chen's arrival, people greeted him warmly.
Chu Chen responded to them with a smile.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Chu Chen went to the dam again.
As they observed the terrain, they suddenly noticed many fish swimming in the stream.
Chu Chen, who was bored at the time, suddenly became interested.
It seems we'll have to ask Tiger to buy some fish fry so we can build a big fishing pond here.
Gather a few drinkers, have some beer, and go fishing – that would be absolutely fantastic.
Just then, Uncle Feng appeared out of nowhere.
"What are you looking at, Chu boy?"
"Uncle Feng, you've come at the right time. I'm planning to build a power station here to provide electricity for everyone."
"A power station? That thing that can generate lightning?" As soon as Feng Wu heard the word "power station," he thought of Chu Chen's lightning magic.
So he asked Chu Chen in a panic.
