Chapter 750

The tool brother who dotes on the heroine 16

After spending half a tael to acquire the homestead, Mingxue entrusted the purchase of bricks and tiles and the work team to build the house to Uncle Shan, who had extensive connections. He had done this many times and had a reliable work team and a reliable source of bricks and tiles.

, Mingxue just needs to pay.

As for the workers' food issue, Mingxue rejected Liu Sanniu, who had already been diagnosed with pregnancy. She promised her three sisters-in-law a plate of meat and vegetables every day and left the matter to them.

After all the matters related to building a house were discussed, the palace officials quickly started work in full swing.

It was easy to see that the quality of the bricks and tiles was good, and the workers in the construction team were also quick with their hands and feet. Houses were rising from the ground. I felt very happy, so I started running to the mountains frequently, catching wild animals to add meat to everyone, and making them bright.

Muscles, lest some blind second-rate people come to harass him after he separates and becomes independent.

Soon, a simple house was built. The house with blue bricks and red tiles was shaped like an opening, with two main rooms. The left side was the bedrooms of Jian Yi and Liu Sanniu, and the right side was temporarily used as a living room for Zhou Bamei when she grew up.

It is used as a bedroom; there are also two rooms in the east wing, and the upper room in the east is Liu Lang's house.

The east room is temporarily used as a storage room to accommodate Zhou Xiaolang in Liu Sanniu's belly when he grows up; the two upper rooms in the west wing are the kitchen and the lower room is the bathroom; the two lower rooms in the east and west are surrounded by mud bricks.

The courtyard wall was completed, and a peach tree and a persimmon tree were simply transplanted from the mountain to the two corners.

Outside the six brick houses, we simply asked workers to build a covered verandah out of wood, starting from the main entrance and running through the entire house. This way, it is convenient to go to the kitchen and bathroom on rainy days, and it can also be used to entertain guests when the weather is fine.

At first, Mingxue said that she wanted to turn the west lower room into a bathroom. Liu Sanniu, Zhou Dazhuang and others disagreed. In their opinion, it was just for washing and going to the latrine. Like the old house, the backyard vegetable plot was separated by wooden boards.

Isn’t it enough to use only two rooms? How can we use a brick house that cost nearly two taels of silver to use if it is a big deal? Isn’t this a waste?

But in Jian Jian's opinion, the bathroom and latrine in the old house were very inconvenient and dangerous. Jian Jian didn't want Liu Sanniu to go to the backyard with a big belly on a rainy day.

Liu Sanniu and others saw that Jian Yan was resolute, so they stopped trying to persuade her and agreed to Jian Yan's intention. However, after what happened in the bathroom, Zhou Dazhuang, Zhou Liangquan and the others realized the changes in Jian Yan's personality and no longer regarded Jian Yan as the past.

Such a silly and honest person.

After the house was built, the clan leader gave Jian Jian a good day to move. Jian Jian moved some things from the old house before the good day came, and then went to the mountain to hunt down a wild boar, which made the villagers very happy.

On the second day of the Wen family banquet, Jian Yi was tending the crops in the field, and Zhou Tianquan from the field next door found an opportunity to join in. He hesitated to speak.

When Jian Yan saw his appearance, he immediately remembered what Zhou Dazhuang had suggested before, so he turned sideways and continued to water the crops in the field, waiting for Zhou Tianquan to speak first.

"Fourth brother, do you still have money? I want to borrow some money from you, and I will definitely pay it back to you when I have more money in the future." Zhou Tianquan hesitated for a long time, and finally closed his eyes compared to his younger sister Zhou Baoquan when she borrowed money from him in the past.

said.

Hearing this, Jian Yi put the ladle into the barrel, stood up straight, frowned and said sadly: "Third brother, you also know that I built a house, and I don't have much money left in my hand. The rest has to be on duty at the stove."

What’s the matter with the guy in the room? Besides, I think Rokuro is smart and clever, so I want to send him to a private house.

If you can learn how to read in school, you can go to the city to do some easy work in the future, so that your children and grandchildren will not have to work hard in the fields every day like me. In addition, my mother is about to give birth to another child, and there will be one more child in the family.

I opened my mouth to eat, but I was also very stressed and worried."

After the sale was miserable, Jian Yi saw Zhou Tianquan slumped down. After thinking about it, he couldn't let anyone go home empty-handed. He pursed his lips and said cruelly: "Third brother, when are you going to build a house? Have you bought the homestead? How many buildings will you build?"

How much is the shortfall? So, third brother, if a house is going to be built during this period, then I will go and discuss it with my mother to see if I can lend you the two ounces of money we have for emergency use.

?Do you think that’s okay?”

Zhou Tianquan looked at Jian Yi and was speechless. He was at a loss for a moment. Although what this younger brother said was reasonable, why was it different from what his father and second brother said?

Zhou Tianquan was a little confused and didn't know what to say. Seeing this, Jian Yan patted Zhou Tianquan's shoulder and said with relief: "Third brother, building a house is not a trivial matter. Third brother can go back and think about it slowly with his sister-in-law."

There's no rush, you can tell me when you and Third Sister-in-law have decided on the time to move into the house, and I'll go to Third Sister-in-law to get the money."

After saying that, Jian Yan turned around and picked up the ladle to continue watering the crops. Seeing this, Zhou Tianquan returned to his field to work in despair. From time to time, he would straighten up and look in the direction of Jian Yan.

With great strength and quick hands and feet, he quickly completed today's work in the field. After greeting Zhou Tianquan, he walked towards the carpenter's house in the village and carried back the barrels and basins he had asked the carpenter to make a few days ago.

Home.

"Dad, you're back." Zhou Lang, who was playing with his sister in the yard, heard Jian Yi's footsteps in the distance. His eyes lit up and he pulled Zhou Bamei and ran out of the yard.

"Hey, what are you doing at home? Where is your mother?"

"We have been playing in the yard, and my mother has gone to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables."

He simply carried the stacked barrels and basins towards the bathroom, placed the barrels and basins separately, and took out the old wooden basins he brought from Lao Zhou's house out of the bathroom and put them in the yard to dry.

Well, I will use the wood as a footbath in the future.

Seeing Jian Yi come out, Zhou Liulang hurriedly raised his hands and brought a bowl of water to Jian Yi's eyes, "Daddy, drink some water."

"Well, you're so good." Jian Yi smiled and took the bowl, gently rubbing the two children who were looking at him eagerly.

After drinking the water, I put the bowl back into the kitchen. I looked up briefly at the bunch of bacon, two bacon chickens, and two bacon hanging on the beam in the kitchen. I felt that this little meat at home was not enough.

Once the autumn harvest is over, winter will begin. It’s hard to survive the winter with only this little meat, but there is a pregnant woman and two children waiting to eat meat to supplement their nutrition.

However, eating bacon all the time is not good, as the meat is not fresh. It seems that we should dig a pond in the afternoon and raise fish and lotus roots.

After making a plan silently in his mind, Jian Yan started chopping firewood in the yard. After Liu Sanniu came back from the mountain, Jian Yan went into the mountain to hunt a wild boar and two pheasants, and carried them back home in the dim light of night.

It is very convenient to easily find out through spiritual consciousness that living in a remote place is really convenient. For example, now you can simply carry prey home without having to worry about being seen by others and causing trouble by attracting pinkeye.

After returning home, he simply tied the wild boar under a tree with a straw rope. When Liu Sanniu came out and took a look, she was surprised: "How come this is still alive?"

"Well, if it dies, the meat won't be fresh until tomorrow, and it won't be sold at a high price."

"Sell?"

Liu Sanniu was a little suspicious. Since the house was built, her husband had not sold the prey he had hunted, but had taken it back directly to eat. Why was it being sold this time?
