husband and wife

Chapter 186

At this time, Father Song had already asked Mr. Song to calculate the time of Fengshui and ground breaking. As soon as the date was calculated, he decided to move things in three days, because a new one was built on top of the original house of the Song family, and there was no place to live. Uncle The house was squeezed together and could barely fit in. Everything in the house had to be moved to the old uncle’s house, but building a new house and moving was a major event. Mr. Feng Shui said that he couldn’t move, so no one dared to move. These days Song Dad was not idle, and went to find the strong men in the village. At this time, as long as there is a family that can live a little, the men will be able to do some crafts, build houses and make furniture. There are many villagers in the village, and both men and women are good at work. They never have to go to other villages to hire people to build a house. Early in the morning, I made an agreement with every household, let them help move in three days, and start building the house after setting off firecrackers. How much wages are paid to men a day, and how much to women a day, lunch and dinner are included, but the wages will not be paid until the end of the year Knot.They are all from their own village, so they are not afraid of defaulting on wages. Father Song said hello, and every household agreed.

Song Yougen and Song Youfu invited people to measure the foundation of the house, and the village chief was also there. The new house built by the Song family needed to be enlarged a lot. Expand on the original basis, but this time the Song family will expand by two or three times, and the total area is almost half an mu of land. You can't pretend that you can't see it, so the village chief has to watch it here. The Song family will have to pay as much land as they want, which is the same as buying land.

After the foundation was measured, the village head and helpers were invited to have lunch. All the people present were used to building new houses, so Song Ziheng showed them the sketches. If there was anything unreasonable, it was fine subject to change.

When the village head saw the blueprint, he clicked his tongue and said, "I used to mutter to myself that there are only a few people in your family to live in such a big house. I didn't realize that these places are not all houses. What is your plan to empty a lot of space in the front row?"

Song Ziheng replied: "Plant some flowers, plants and bamboos. It would be great if you can dig a small pond and plant some lotuses and raise some fishes."

The old uncle was surprised: "Why is there not enough lotus pond in our house, so we can plant one at home?"

Song Ziheng smiled: "I don't raise these at home for food. I look at them more often, and they look comfortable."

"Big families pay attention to these things. Dig a pond with trees and water. Isn't it good Feng Shui? I saw the garden of the forest official's house in the town, which is much bigger than yours."

Father Song said: "We mud legs, how can we compare with them."

The uncle who spoke before looked at the blueprints and said again and again: "There are so many toilets and kitchens, my dear, how much will it cost?"

Song Ziheng said with a smile: "I heard that in the yard of their big family, every suite has a toilet and a small kitchen. Otherwise, it would occupy such a large area. If the toilet is on the east side and stands on the west side, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back."

Everyone laughed: "I guess that's the reason. If we don't build more huts, we won't be able to go to the latrine in time."

So it was settled, and the house was built according to the sketches drawn by Song Ziheng. The night before the construction started, after the Song family had dinner, Song's mother said: "The house is in such a mess, Ziheng has to go to Beijing for a scientific examination next year." , Now I can't relax, I originally wanted to go back to the county without you, don't worry about family affairs, just read a book at ease, but now your daughter-in-law has twins, and she can't care about herself, so she went to the county with you Here, I have to take care of you again. Liangwen and his in-laws have been bothering for too long. You will naturally take them back to live in the past. I am afraid that your wife will be tired. Besides, your wife is the first child. The elders are taking care of me, how can I rest assured?"

Song's mother paused, not knowing what to do, so she simply asked: "You husband and wife also have ideas, so you can discuss it yourself, whether your wife will go to the county with you, or she will take good care of the baby at home, it's up to you What do you want." Actually Song's mother still wants to keep his daughter-in-law at home. Ziheng is in her 20s, and because many scholars get married late, when his elder brother was this age, his eldest and second children ran all over the place. Now his daughter-in-law She was only pregnant with her first child, so my family did not dare to take it lightly, and had the intention to keep her, but the family was busy recently, and they were staying at my uncle's house, so I was afraid that Ziheng's daughter-in-law would not like it, so there was no need to worry about asking her to go to the county These, the in-laws' mother's temper, will definitely be able to take good care of Ziheng's wife, but I can't think so, even if the in-laws are willing, in the eyes of others, it will become their Song family's plotting in-laws. Do you keep helping your married daughter?

Mother Song was a little confused for a moment.

Su Wan is not entangled, but Mother Song's tone is inclined to ask her to stay in Songjia Village. If she doesn't want to, she has to think of a reason.However, Su Wan thought about it for two seconds, and felt that she couldn't speak up on her own, so she said with a smile: "Mother, go ask Mr. Xianggong, of course he has the final say on this matter." She glanced at Song Ziheng with a pair of beautiful eyes and a smile. .

Song Ziheng met his mother's expectant eyes, didn't even think about it, and said bravely: "If you keep my lady here, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for my mother and sisters-in-law..."

Normally, under such circumstances, Song Xiaomei would not open her mouth easily. Although she is the aunt of Dawa and the others, and her seniority seems to be comparable to Song Yougen and the others, everyone still treats her like a child. However, Song Xiaomei is engaged now and will go out next year. The Song family no longer treats her like a child, and Xiaomei Song herself feels that she can't just sit idly by like this. She has a different relationship with the third sister-in-law. The third sister-in-law said that she listened to the third brother. I used to think that the third sister-in-law was enjoying the blessings at home and didn't have to do everything. When she went to the county, she had to take care of the inside and outside. But when she went to live by herself, she realized that it was good. She felt relaxed and at ease, and she was willing to be tired.

Song Xiaomei looked at Su Wan again, and finally said: "Mother, otherwise I will take care of the third sister-in-law. I was also watching when the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were pregnant with several nephews. I know everything that should be paid attention to, but it is the third sister-in-law." Staying at home, one is worried about the third brother, and the other we can't take care of when we are busy in and out, I'm afraid it's not as good as she is in the county."
