Chapter 80 Building a House

Xu Baozhu didn't know what the two of them were talking about in the room, but she only knew that when she went in later, Mrs. Xu's mood improved a lot, and the two of them agreed not to mention today's affairs.

Early the next morning, old man Xu mysteriously called her and Zhu Yun together.

"What's the matter, Father?" Xu Baozhu asked.

Old man Xu rarely had such a serious look, which made Xu Baozhu curious, what exactly was he trying to say when he came out today?

"Actually, there is nothing else. You said earlier about building a house."

The old man Xu said: "Before, it was you and me, and Brother Yun lived there. These simple huts were enough, but now that grandma has moved here, and there are two girls' homes, we can't call them The two of them should stay in that medicine house forever. Not to mention that it is inconvenient for outsiders to come to see a doctor. The place smells like medicine, and it is not suitable for people to live in. So I thought, our house, how about renovating the house? She? In this way, your grandma will have a place to live, and you and Brother Yun don't have to live separately anymore. "

After all, he also looked at Xu Baozhu and Zhu Yun meaningfully.

Zhu Yun sensed what the person meant, and buried his head in embarrassment.

"Father, what are you talking about!" Xu Baozhu scolded lightly, "It's not like you don't know, Brother Yun and I..."

She emphasized it many times, but she also found it boring, so she changed the subject and said, "In fact, building a house is a good thing, and I have no objection."

She wanted to do this since the first time it rained heavily and the house was completely flooded. Unfortunately, at that time, the family had no money, and the government was pressing for food, and she was afraid that the villagers would be too thoughtful, so she had to give up. But now These things have passed. Earlier, she went to the county to sell medicine and saved some. She wanted to build a wooden house in the countryside, so it was not a big problem.

Hearing what she said, the old man Xu nodded in relief, took out a handful of straw leaves from his winter clothes, spread it on the table, and said: "This is a little I saved myself, the sum of bits and pieces, about There are five taels of silver."

He opened his bed again, took out a small cloth pocket from inside, spread it out, and said, "This is the money you gave me when you went out to sell things earlier. During the Chinese New Year, we took out two taels of silver." I bought a lot of things, so now I still have about 30 taels. What does Dad mean... I am afraid that the money for building a house is not enough for me alone, so I need to get some from you, but don’t worry, in the future Dad will definitely give it back to you."

"What are you talking about daddy." Xu Baozhu put away the little cloth pocket, held his hand and said, "I don't want to pay back anything, you see, Brother Yun and I don't have much money to spend , and we are a family in the first place, we should also contribute to the building of the house, the money is yours if you keep it, you can deal with it."

"Yes, father, you don't need to ask me and my wife's opinions about these matters. You are an elder, so you can deal with them as you see fit."

They have a few taels of silver in their hands, and they can buy some things they like. Others, they really don't need much, and the money is useless in the hands of the two of them.

"Okay." The old man Xu took the money and said: "Then let's make an agreement like this. I'll talk to Li Zheng about it later, and ask the old carpenter in the village what happened to him. How to collect money?"

……

The old man Xu moved quickly, and soon got the consent of Li Zheng. The old carpenter also came to see the site, and joked with a smile: "Tree roots, your family has been in transit recently, and you are also a donkey. The car and the bed are booked, and now, a house is going to be built."

"Hey hey." Old man Xu smiled naively, "My daughter has grown up and married again, it's hard for my old man to rely on them anymore."

"That's right." The old carpenter lowered his head and snickered, "If you've been living with the two of you, how can you hold your grandson?"

The old man Xu knew that he couldn't hug him, but in the eyes of the villagers, this marriage was real, and he would always talk about it when he talked about it. Don't worry, brother."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" The old carpenter waved his hand and boasted, "No one in this village or outside the village knows my craftsmanship. As long as the materials are in place, I guarantee that you will live in a new house for a month or two."

The material that the old carpenter talked about was the wooden pier for the pile.

This is not a big problem. When the family was separated earlier, the three brothers each allocated a forest. Although the area he allocated was a bit out of the way, and the wood was not as good as the other two, he hadn't used it these years. , has grown for more than ten years, and it is already a towering tree, which is completely usable, but it needs someone to help cut it down.

This reminded him of the Qian family brothers.

In this village, the Qian brothers are the strongest.

The Qian family started a new year, and they were very busy preparing for the wedding of their new wife. Hearing the old man Xu's request, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

But before Qian's mother refused, Qian Cheng had already agreed.

"It's just a trivial matter. Whenever uncle wants it, my brother and I will go up the mountain to get it for you."

Old man Xu felt a little embarrassed when he heard that he deserved to be so forthright, and said, "Let's just hurry up for a few days, Ah Cheng, I'm really sorry to bother you at this time."

"No problem, uncle."

Qian Cheng has already disregarded his own marriage, and also admitted that Xu Baozhu has married someone else.

"Your family helped us a lot earlier, it should be."

Hearing what he said, Qian's father and Qian's mother can't say anything more, the marriage of Zuo and Zuo has already been decided, and they only need to wait for half a month to welcome the bride into the door. It's rare for old man Xu to ask for a fellow from his hometown. This time, it would not be appropriate for them to refuse because of this.

"Ah Cheng is right. I'll let his two brothers go up the mountain with you some other day. If there is anything the family needs in the past few days and they can help you, you can tell me."

The old man Xu was so moved that his eyes turned red instantly.

……

Xu Yuanqiao's family.

As soon as Jiao Chun'e heard that the old man Xu was not busy with planting springs these days, but was busy building a new house all day long, she became very angry.

"Let me just say, your younger brother is not so honest and honest on the surface, but now he really shows his true colors!"

Xu Yuanqiao said: "Aniang lives with him now, he builds a house for his own convenience, and we are less burdened, so what's wrong with it."

He really didn't understand why his daughter-in-law was so irritable and angry. At the beginning, when someone said something casually, she urged the elder brother's house to drive her mother out. Now that the mother is at the third son's house, she is still unhappy.

Seeing her husband like this, Jiao Chun'e was furious, and scolded angrily: "You are really stupid to say you are stupid. Where did he get the money to build the house? If it wasn't for the old woman who brought it over, then he hid it himself. Got it, pretending to be poor in front of us every day, leaving the old lady to us for many years, he saved a lot of money to win, you idiot, you don’t even know that people have played tricks on you!"
