If you want to build a house, you have to talk to the village chief and the village chief, because the place Lao Zhou chose is right next door to his house, not a crop field, and he doesn't even have to pay for it.
It was learned that the Zhou family wanted to build seven stone houses at once. Others were willing to do so, but the Zhou Dayuan family, which was some distance away from Man Bao's family, could not do it.
Because there is a large piece of land between the two families, this piece of land is wasteland. In recent years, no one has looked down on this piece of land, and naturally they will not plant anything on it. It has become overgrown with weeds and there are many stones. But if the Zhou family
Building symmetrical seven-room houses will inevitably take up most of the land, and the distance between the two houses will be shorter.
Zhou Dayuan's daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhang, was the first to raise the issue and did not agree to grant the land to the Zhou family. The reason was also ready-made: "They occupy such a large piece of land. What will happen if my family wants to build a house in the future?"
The village chief asked: "Isn't there some open space above your house?"
"The feng shui from above is not good for our home, so our home must be built downwards."
Zhou Dayuan didn't say anything this time.
The village chief frowned and said, "Your family only has one son, so what kind of house do you want to build?"
"I'm not happy about what you said. I only have one son, but that doesn't mean I only have one grandson. When Dalu's wife has more children in the future, won't they be able to build a house when they grow up?"
The village chief knew that she was being careless and simply didn't like people, so he turned to Lao Zhoutou and said, "Then your family will pay. Measure out how much land you want to occupy and follow the rules."
Then he said to Mrs. Zhang: "The Zhou family is willing to pay for it. If you want to enclose the land now, then measure it out and hand over the money."
Mrs. Zhang immediately stopped talking.
Zhou Dayuan said quickly: "The children at home are still young, so we are not in a hurry to build a house."
The village chief snorted, looked at the villagers again, and asked, "Is there anyone else in the village who wants to buy this land?"
Zhou Dagu laughed and said: "Our house is not there, who is going to build a house there? If Uncle Jin wants to buy it, just buy it all."
Zhou Jin is not stupid. After buying the land, it was connected with Zhou Dayuan's family. Hmm, he must make a vacant land to avoid their family.
In Qili Village, anyone who wants to build a house in the village can build it on an open space as long as it is approved by all the families in the village.
Because there is a lot of open space and no crops are grown, it is covered with weeds or gravel. As long as you have money, you can build whatever you want.
But there are exceptions, because people in the village all live together, and although there are open spaces on the left and right, there are also neighbors on the left and right. Your family wants to build a house on this open space, and my family also wants to, so we can only buy it.
The money is given to the village, and in the future, whether it is building roads, water conservancy projects, or supporting the weak and widowed, it can be paid out of the village's public account.
Of course, the money is not a lot. Based on the area, Lao Zhou calculated that for the land he circled, he would be able to pay at most three hundred cash.
This amount of money is not worth mentioning when building seven stone houses, but it is still very heartbreaking for ordinary villagers.
Usually, in order not to spend the money, they would rather choose another place than pay for it.
Anyway, there are a lot of open spaces inside and outside the village.
Old Zhou decided to pay, and of course Zhou Dayuan's family would not compete with him again, so the matter was settled.
He simply asked the village chief to choose a good day for him, and immediately notified the people he wanted to invite to help build the house on that day.
Everyone who was invited said it was no problem.
Now the weather is starting to get cold and there is no work in the fields. Old Zhoutou's family wants to build a house, so they can have an income, so everyone who is invited is very happy.
As soon as he got home, Lao Zhoutou took his family to the open space next to him and started mowing the grass and cleaning up stones and various debris.
By the time Manbao finished his homework and ran home from Bai's house, the weeds in the field had been cut. Everyone was picking up stones in bamboo baskets, and a large circle was drawn on the ground with plant ash. There were many squares in the circle.
Square graphics.
Manbao jumped to the largest figure with a small bookcase on his back, and excitedly asked Zhou Lang who was lazy, "Fourth brother, why are you drawing on the ground?"
"What are you drawing? The place you are standing now is the yard, and these are all drawings that look like houses."
Man Bao looked around and couldn't imagine that they were actually the floor of the room and the yard. She scratched her head and asked, "Why draw?"
"You can only know how much land you need to buy after you draw it. Did you see that it costs a total of three hundred and twenty coins to get from here to there?"
Zhou Dalang frowned and said: "You want me to say that there is no need to make it so big. The yard is big, and the room is also big?"
"It's bigger. I think it's just right. My parents agreed." Zhou Lang looked at the graphic in the middle and said, "Did you see it? That's my room. I've planned it. It's such a big room.
When I was young, I separated two rooms with a bamboo screen just like my parents’ room. I put a bed inside and a table, chairs and benches outside. I could occasionally use it to greet guests. When I had a son, I would let them
Live outside.”
Zhou Dalang thought about it and nodded, "This is a good idea, okay, if it's bigger, just make it bigger."
Man Bao asked excitedly, "What about my room?"
Zhou Lang waved his hand and said politely: "Choose whatever you want, this one, this one..."
Lao Zhou happened to hear the bragging and slapped him on the head, scolding: "You are the laziest today. Your elder brother and sister-in-law have all cut the grass and you haven't picked out a basket of stones yet."
Come on, what are you bragging about here?"
Man Bao immediately ran away. She ran to find Zhou Dalang and asked, "Brother, where is my room?"
Zhou Dalang pointed to the west-facing room of the main room and said with a smile: "Well, mother said that you have to have a sunny room to study, so I will give you this room. Then we will open a window for you on the west-facing side, and the desk will be there."
Put it under the window and you won't hurt your eyes while reading."
Man Bao became happy, jumped over and took a look and said, "I like this place. It's right next to my parents' room, so I can lie on the wall and talk to my parents at night."
Zhou Dalang: ...I'm afraid his parents won't be happy.
Man Bao turned around enthusiastically, wanting to plan her room, but the ground here was uneven. She really couldn't imagine what it would look like when it turned into a room, so she walked around for a long time and held it in for a long time.
Later I realized that I had no plan at all, and I didn't even know where the bed was.
Seeing her running around in circles, Keke reminded: "Host, didn't your parents say you don't have enough money? I don't think they will buy you many things, so why don't you think about making more money?
, prepare something more for yourself?"
Man Bao nodded seriously, "You are right. When fifth brother comes back from the county, I will save the money and never spend it randomly again."
