Chapter 62 Buying Back the Ancestral House 3
"I heard that this ancestral house was built after your great-grandfather resigned from office. Your great-grandfather was a clean official and didn't have any savings. However, your great-grandmother was the daughter of a fourth-rank official at that time. She used her dowry to build this ancestral house. It was the best house in several towns at that time, and I don’t know how many people envied it.” After those people left, Chen Huang took Li Yao into the ancestral house, and said this to his daughter-in-law as he walked. The history of the ancestral home.

When Li Yao was outside, she saw that the ancestral house was completely made of green bricks. This grandma was really willing to give up. How expensive were the green bricks hundreds of years ago?But then again, Li Yao still admires this grandma's foresight. If it wasn't built with blue bricks, how could it be preserved until now? Where did their descendants of the Chen family live in such a big house.Take a look at this house, as long as it is repaired a little, it should look quite new.

"This is the outer house. We used to live in the inner house with your second uncle's family, so we put some things in the outer house." As soon as Chen Huang entered the yard, his eyes became blurred, thinking of what happened more than half a year ago, Chen Huang Huang's heart was still a little sour.Although it is a bit extravagant for a farmer to live in this kind of house, it is the ancestral house of the Chen family after all, and no one thought of selling it unless forced to.

Li Yao saw that this outhouse was even bigger than the thatched hut he lived in now, and the wooden doors in the rooms of this outhouse were still new, presumably it was just replaced by Yuanwai Zhao.In this way, buying back the ancestral house this time is only an extra ten taels of silver, which is not too much. Presumably, Yuanwai Zhao has already repaired the house after moving in.

Following the mother-in-law into the inner house, a gravel road more than one meter wide runs across the middle of the yard, and there is not a single tree planted in the yard, such a huge yard wasted for nothing!Li Yao thought about planting some trees in this yard in the future. In summer, it would be a pleasant thing for the family to stay cool under the trees after dinner and chat!

Chen Huang took Li Yao through an arched door and entered the back house.The back house is divided into front hall and back hall, which is more than twice as big as the front house.Li Yao thought to herself: I don't know how much time it will take to clean such a big house from inside to outside!
"Mother, I think Zhao Yuanwai has already repaired this house. We just need to repair the tiles on the roof of the outer house and we can move in." Li Yao carefully observed what needed repairing from the moment she entered the door. of.

"Yao'er, this room will be for you and Bin'er to live in from now on, go in and have a look." Chen Huang said, pointing to a room in the back house.This was where she lived with her husband before, and it was also the largest room in the house.

"Mother, did you live here before?" Li Yao also saw that this was the master bedroom, so it must have been lived by her parents-in-law.

"Yeah, I've discussed it with your father. From now on, our house will be handed over to you and Bin'er, so let you live in this room too." Chen Huang said with a smile in his eyes.

"Mother, don't say that you and dad are still young, we can't be this home, even if this home is for us, we can't live in this room, this is the master bedroom, it's suitable for you to live with dad, you are our Chen The head of the family." Li Yao refused.

"Yaoer, in fact, I let you live in this room because I thought it would be convenient for you to take care of the children if you have children in the future. This room is big, and it's okay to put two more beds. Seriously, you and Wen Bin also want to take care of the children. Hurry up." Chen Huang said again.

"Eh?" Li Yao didn't know that her mother-in-law was planning to do this, but she and Chen Wenbin had always respected each other as "guests". Where did the child come from, "Mother, let's talk about it when we have a child. For now Just stay here first."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was resolute, Chen Huang didn't say any more.
