044 Build a house!

"Mother, Uncle Songcai came to borrow money last night? Why didn't I know?" He Juan asked while drying the clothes.

"You are asleep, and you can't be woken up by any noise. You must not know that Shusheng came last night." Li smiled, remembering what happened last night, and laughed angrily, "Xiu girl is still you Shrewd, knowing to want his family's fertile land. When your grandma was still alive, your third aunt thought of ways to make the old lady happy. When the family was finally separated, the fields allocated by the third family were better than ours. Neither the third family nor the family thing."

"Mother, what happened to the third uncle's house again?" He Juan couldn't help but ask in a ignorant manner.

Mrs. Li roughly talked about He Youlu pretending to be a strongman to steal Anxiu's money. When He Juan heard this, her eyes widened angrily: "Third Uncle's family really deserves to be damned, and they've got their own ideas!"

The matter has passed, Anxiu herself was a little more frightened, and she didn't have too much loss, but she didn't mind. Seeing He Juan's speech, she couldn't help laughing: "Juanzi is growing up, she's so airy, she can use the word damn it. In the future You have to find a capable son-in-law to shock this girl."

Li Shi also laughed.

"Sister Xiu is talking nonsense too!" He Juanjun blushed, feeling extremely ashamed.

After the clothes were dried, He Juan turned and went into the house.She was almost fourteen, and when it was time to get engaged, she also had expectations in her heart.A young man named Li Eryuan from Lijiazhuang next door secretly gave her two headbands and a handkerchief, which He Juan hid for fear that her parents and elder brother would laugh at her.It's embarrassing to be told that you have broken your mind.

"Auntie, is there anyone you are looking for?" An Xiu pouted at He Juan's background, gossiping.

Mrs. Li leaned closer to Anxiu and lowered her voice: "I've actually taken a fancy to one, the one from Lijiazhuang next door. Last time, Juanzi and I went to the Landlord Sun's house to help as part-time workers. Among them, I immediately fell in love with a young man who was strong and hardworking. At that time His old lady was also there, and she also took a fancy to our Juanzi. Afterwards, Song Matchmaker came to test a few times. I praised the child, but I said that Juanzi was young. Wait and see. His family should know what my family means. .”

"Why wait?" Anxiu laughed, "Since the two families are interested, why not make an appointment with Juanzi, and after two years of marriage, Second Aunt, you will have a grandson."

"At that time, the Xu family didn't resign your brother Jiang's marriage, so I thought, wait a few years, wait until Jiang Sheng's matter is settled, and then marry Juanzi in a glorious manner." Li smiled guiltily, "I planned to marry Juanzi at the end of the year The one who married Jiang Sheng didn’t have much savings in the family, so it would take three to five years to pay off the loan. If Juanzi made a decision, how could she wait three to five years? The dowry is not rich, and she will be married to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. gas."

Although Mrs. Li thought of everything, it was all in the minutiae. In one word: the family has no money, and elder brother is the priority.

"Aren't you rich now?" Anxiu said, "Second aunt, ask Juanzi what she thinks, and settle the matter. There will be no such shop after passing this village. Since the younger generation is good, I'm afraid there will be another family. Look, we have to start early."

Mrs. Li nodded thoughtfully: "You are right. I have to settle this matter with your uncle. Don't delay Juanzi's important matter."

Anxiu nodded, seeing that Erbo and He Jiangsheng were not at home, she couldn't help being curious: "Did Erbo and Brother Jiang go to the ground early in the morning?"

"Isn't it?" Li said with a smile, "I went to pick up cotton in the morning, taking advantage of the dew. When the sun comes out, the sun leaves will be burnt, so it's not easy to pick up."

Anxiu nodded.Thinking of my determination last night, I said, "Second Aunt, I want to see the future. The house has been built in the past few days. Anyone can touch my broken house, so I don't feel at ease living in it. Can Second Uncle spare time at noon?" Help me to ask a Feng Shui master to have a look?"

"Success!" Mrs. Li said cheerfully, "I will ask your second uncle to take you there at noon. Do you build the house on the original piles or take another one?"

The stakes are the foundations.

"Let's talk about it after Mr. Feng Shui reads it. I want to use the original piles instead of laying new ones, which saves a lot of effort!" Anxiu said with a smile. She really needs to build the house urgently. save time.

"Well, I'll clean up the side house on the west side, and the three of you will live in my house for the time being." Li said with a smile.To build a house on the original piles, the current house has to be demolished.

Most of the families built a temporary thatched shed nearby, but Mrs. Li was worried about Anxiu. With so much money on her, the family didn't even have a strong man.

"Thank you, Second Aunt!" Anxiu said gratefully, "I'm only here to live, and I'll build a shed next to me for dinner. It's troublesome to come back and run."

When building a house, it's not just the three of them who eat, but also the workers.Originally, the family was supposed to come to help, but Anxiu didn’t want to use the third uncle’s family; Anxiu felt sorry for his father-in-law who did so much crop work by himself, and asked him to help him for a day; the uncle’s family and the second uncle’s family were the main labor force. .

The family helpers do not give money, and they still have to take care of the food.

At noon, He Youfu came over and took Anxiu to find a more famous Fengshui master in the village next door. After looking at the terrain, the construction was scheduled to start in five days, which was the first day of August.

Since the day was fixed, Anxiu has been so busy buying firebricks, hiring masons, and recruiting small laborers.Other people's houses require at most six or seven small workers. Anxiu recruited [-] or three times as many workers from Zhuangzi at one go, hoping to build the house in the shortest possible time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival will be half a month away, and Anxiu hopes to have the house built and the yard repaired before the festival.

Seeing that Anxiu was going too far, Mrs. Li couldn't help worrying: "Xiu, why do you use all fire bricks to build your house? How much would it cost? If it's for the sake of looking good, you can use fire bricks for the front wall and earth bricks for the interior and back of the house. Although you have some money now, you will have a long life in the future, so you must be able to plan carefully."

"Second Aunt, the adobe bricks are not strong, my tree is too small, and I don't have much strength, what will I do if someone sneaks into my house again? Second Aunt, I'm really scared, spend some money, and eliminate the disaster forever! "Anxiu told the truth.

Besides, He Yuer is beautiful, and the older she gets, the more beautiful she will be.If there is no solid courtyard wall, what will happen if those hooligans and rascals in the Zhuangzi become malicious in the middle of the night?

Mrs. Li thought that it would be rare for Anxiu to make a lot of money in the future, so she suggested Anxiu in this way.But Anxiu has supernatural powers, this small fortune is just the beginning, there will be opportunities in the future, so she is not afraid of spending money.The most important thing is to live with peace of mind.

"That's true!" After thinking about it, Mrs. Li couldn't help sighing, "Xiu, don't worry, wait another three or two years, Shu Sheng will be a young man, and you won't have to worry about anything."

Anxiu smiled, she was not worried.It's a good thing that Shusheng is young, but when he grows up and knows the relationship between men and women, Anxiu doesn't know what to do.Before you are developed, you can neither reconcile with the tree, nor give him a concubine, which is the trouble.
