The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 102 Breaking ground and preparing for a new house (5)
She was cooking when she heard Jiahui shouting outside, "Sister-in-law, come here!"

Li Caiwei went out in response, Liu Jiahui took her hand and pointed anxiously inside the chicken coop, "Sister-in-law, look."

Li Caiwei looked into the chicken coop in response and found several dead chickens.Every day, she took care of these chickens carefully, and only went to the county seat yesterday, so three or four chickens would not die.

Pushing the chicken ring away, I carefully looked at the symptoms of the dead chicken, touched the chicken body, and suddenly found something strange on the ground, and the chicken mouth was foaming.Someone must have put medicine, but I don't know what kind of medicine was put.

In order not to threaten the other chickens, she picked out the dead chickens and threw them into the toilet.

"Sister-in-law, has this chicken been drugged?"

Even Jiahui could tell that she had been drugged, so Li Caiwei nodded, "Jiahui, go to our vegetable farm and ask your Brother Cheng to come back." She touched the remaining chickens and found that they were all strange. Especially the stomach, very distended.

If the medicine is not taken quickly, these chickens will probably die.

I found a handful of Zheergen from the ridge of the field, chopped the Zheergen, put it in boiling water to boil, poured out the water and cooled it down.At night, the remaining chickens were found to be slowly eating.

Liu Jiacheng came back from the vegetable field and saw her busy in the chicken coop, Jiahui told her that the chicken at home had died.

Seeing Liu Jiacheng came back, Li Caiwei immediately stood up, "Jiacheng, our chicken died, but I don't know why, can you come and see?"

Liu Jiacheng walked into the chicken pen, touched the chicken, and almost noticed the problem with the chicken. "Possibly poisoned."

"Poison?" Li Caiwei felt a little unbelievable that the chicken was drugged after only one day of absence.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the mountains to find some herbs."

Li Caiwei boiled the collected herbs and put them into the chicken coop together with the Zheer root water boiled during the day. At night, she found that the condition of the chicken was much better than during the day.

Li Caiwei came out of the chicken coop carefully with a kerosene lamp, feeling much better.

"Jiacheng, it's really thanks to your medicinal herbs, otherwise these chickens would be raised for nothing. I have to go to the village chief tomorrow to see if he can help me find out who gave the medicine."

After finishing speaking, he heated up the dishes he had brought during the day, cooked some rice, and ate dinner like that.

All night, she felt uncomfortable. The chicken died unjustly, and 300 taels of silver were wasted during the day.Money in front and back.

I was also absent-minded when I was eating, and I was busy for a long time, but I didn't get any results.The wages of the workers will be paid tomorrow, roughly calculated, at least three to forty taels of silver are needed, but how can there be so much silver on hand now?

Liu Jiacheng already knew what she was thinking, and took out the 1000 taels of silver from his pocket.

"You take the money."

Li Caiwei took what was in his hand, and opened it to see that it was a 1000 tael bank note.

"The money at home is in your charge."

He meant to hand over the economic power to himself, and the unhappiness just now was swept away. With this 1000 taels of silver, he can do a lot of things.

"Jiacheng, with this money, I can do a lot of things that I didn't dare to do before."

"Well, you can do whatever you want with money."

"Although we live here comfortably, it's not enough for three people to live in. I want to build a house. This way, my mother will have a place to live, and we don't have to separate. If there are guests at home, there will be a place to live."

"Listen to you." Just do what you say, she has long wanted to own a beautiful green brick house, with a yard in the front, a vegetable garden in the back, and a poultry pen next to it, where cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks are raised...

To build a house, you must design the style of the house, choose a good foundation, buy materials, and finally hire a plasterer.

She has already designed the house style in her heart.Early in the morning, Li Caiwei took out a pen and paper to draw the style of the house.Hands quickly design the house style on the drawings.According to the ancient customs, it must be a traditional earthen house. The biggest disadvantage of the earthen house is that the walls will be wet in rainy days, and it is easy to collapse in case of heavy rain.Now I have enough money to build a blue-brick and white-tiled house, referring to the farmyard, which usually has its own front and back yards, which are divided into east and west rooms, kitchen, hut, bathroom, and a firewood room for agricultural tools.

As soon as I went up, I probably drew out the blueprints. After all, I am not a professional architectural designer. I designed it completely according to my own wishes, and I had to show it to the craftsman.

As for the land issue, she took a fancy to a piece of flat land in the west of the village, mainly because the address was flat and open, and more importantly, it was close to the road and had convenient transportation.On the second day, she went to the owner of the land. The owner was very enthusiastic, and the two sides reached an agreement. She exchanged one acre of land for the piece of land she wanted, and paid some money.

Liu Jiacheng went to a farmer's house at the foot of the peak to buy firewood.

At noon, she discussed with the craftsman whether there was any problem with the style of her house design.The craftsman generally agreed, gave opinions on the details, and finally determined the style of the house design.

The house faces north and has four rooms, a kitchen, a hut, a woodshed, and a bathroom, totaling about 120 square meters.In addition to the vacant vegetable field in the backyard and the face in the front yard, almost all of the one mu of land is taken up.

At night, she showed Liu Jiacheng the map, "Jiacheng, what do you think of the structure of this house?"

Liu Jiacheng took the drawings, looked at them carefully, and gave some comments, mainly considering that four rooms might not be enough for children in the future.Li Caiwei blushed when she heard that, she was still so young, she wanted to give birth quickly, but her body was too small, she would have to wait at least five or six years to have a baby.

"Then add two more rooms, Jiacheng, I don't know much about building a house, and the rest of the work can only depend on you."

"I'll take care of it, you just take care of your home."

Since knowing his true identity, I have a different feeling for him.I couldn't help looking at him even when I was talking and eating.Seeing his calm and composed appearance, I was really happy from the bottom of my heart.What she admires the most is a man who is calm and talkative, and Liu Jiacheng fits the bill.

"Well, you are in charge of the outside, and I am in charge of the home. The land, wood, stone, bricks and tiles are the most expensive. I calculated that it will cost about 30 taels of silver, plus the later purchase of furniture, etc., will cost 60 taels silver."

Liu Jiacheng nodded, "As long as you like it, don't worry about money." Building a house in the country is a big deal. According to the customs of the country, a ceremony must be held before breaking ground.

The Yu family, the Zhou family, and the Yang family all arrived at the scene.Li Caiwei prepared the things needed for the ceremony early. Seeing that Jiacheng lit the firecrackers, he immediately put a rooster he bought on the foundation of his house, and then sprinkled wedding candies, peanuts, etc. on the villagers who came to watch. As soon as the children saw that there was something to eat, they immediately rushed to grab it.
