After returning home with two long-term workers, Su Liu first led them to meet Mr. Chen to recognize the person, then walked around again and talked about the situation in Dayao Village and what they were going to do. Finally, he temporarily
Placed in a temporary house at the back.
"Now that we have long-term workers, our place is becoming increasingly insufficient. When the busy farming season is over and the people in the village will be free, I want to build a house." After dinner, Su Liu discussed with the family.
It was impossible for the long-term worker to live in their house, so Su Liu thought about expanding the current house and building a few more rooms in the backyard. The new house should be bigger. No matter what the future holds, it is still lively for the whole family to live together.
Happy.
"Do you have enough money?" Mrs. Chen asked with a frown after hearing her plan. She felt that her family's expenses were getting bigger and bigger now, and she was always worried about not having enough money.
"Of course that's enough, mother, don't worry, we can also buy a little girl to take care of you." Su Liu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen quickly waved her hands and said angrily: "I am not old enough, and I still need to be served by others? We are not from a big family, so how can we be so sophisticated?"
"That's not what I said. Our family will get better over time. If there are more things going on in the future, there will definitely not be enough manpower and we will definitely have to buy more. This is not something only big families can have." Su Xiaodao.
"You just think about hugging her all day long." Mrs. Chen nodded her forehead and said.
Su Xiao giggled.
"Xiao Xiao is right. We will definitely have to add more people in the future, but now is not the time to talk about that. We should build the house first. The shop also needs to be renovated." Su Liu flipped through the planning book he wrote.
.
"I don't understand these things either, you can just make up your mind." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
Su Liu didn't expect Mrs. Chen to have any big ideas. She just wanted everyone to discuss it, because this family didn't belong to her alone.
"Sister, I have no objection." Chen Ye sat upright and said respectfully.
"Then it's settled."
The whole family talked for a while, and then they all took a break.
Now that there are permanent workers, things in the field suddenly become easier. Su Liu divided the work for everyone. Ning Guang mainly arranged the new house. She and Su Xiaoze were responsible for the decoration of the shop, and Chen took care of the housework.
, Chen Ye also helped the family with whatever he could when he had nothing to do.
There are still two months until the Chinese New Year. Gyeongju is in the south. Although it is not as snowy as in the north, it is still cold and the wind is getting colder. It is not too late to build and decorate the house, otherwise it will be difficult to start it if it gets colder.
.
Mrs. Wu introduced the decoration master, and the decoration of the shop quickly began. Su Liu was busy ordering various stoves and steamers in preparation for the opening of the shop, and Ningguang also started building a house.
When I heard that Su Liu was recruiting people to build a new house, Da'ao Village was abuzz again. As soon as the autumn harvest was over, everyone rushed to help. After all, Su Liu paid a lot of wages.
Ever since the Su Liu family made peace with each other, they have been talking about it. From being unfavorable at first to being envious now, everyone in the village is envious of them. Just a few months ago, they opened a steamed bun stall again.
, they bought long-term workers and bought land, and now they opened a shop and built a house. They were all asking about how much money Su Liu and the others had earned!
On the contrary, the old house of the Su family was in a much poorer state. After harvesting the grain from the autumn harvest, Mr. Su kept the seeds and grain rations for the next year, and sold the rest of the grain, only getting seven or eight taels of silver.
With the money, Mrs. Huang started looking for Su Fusheng's wife again. This time she didn't dare to raise any conditions, fearing that her son would end up an old bachelor.
After he was imprisoned and the environment at home was like this, people stopped working. Su Fusheng's face turned dark. Su Changsheng's nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not his eyes.
Su Liu's house building was bustling with excitement, but the old house was full of misery. Huang and others were so angry that they cursed some unpleasant words every day. She didn't dare to go to Su Liu's house and scold them.
She pointed at her door and scolded her, but everyone knew who she was scolding.
When these words reached Su Liu's ears, they were just treated as jokes. Everyone knows that grapes are said to be sour if they can't eat them.
However, not long after, the scolding stopped at the old house. I heard that Su Fusheng's marriage was settled. The girl was from the next town and she was pretty. She didn't look like someone from a farmer's family, and the dowry was at the bottom of the box.
All the money he had was three taels of silver.
"Is this possible?" Ms. Chen was a little surprised and looked at Ms. Su Jiang and asked.
"There is no reason to refuse. The girl is seventeen years old, and she became an old girl because of her talent selection. Although the second uncle is a bit hot-tempered, fortunately he is handsome and both families have met each other." Su
While Mrs. Jiang was doing needlework, she looked at her son and called out: "Brother Ming, don't touch the bottle, carefully break it." She gave Brother Ming a dull look.
"Brother Ming, don't play with the vase. If you drop it carefully, the pieces will splash into your eyes. Come on, Auntie, here is a ball. You can play with it." Su Liu took out a colorful ball from the cabinet and handed it to Brother Ming.
Su Jiang's brother Ming, who had big and dark eyes and was very lovable, ran over to take it, thanked him with a sweet milky voice in his mouth, hugged the ball and went to play aside.
"Then it should be done right this time, right?" Mrs. Chen asked again.
"I think the third mother-in-law has gone to Mi Po's house to find a better life, so it should be a good idea." Su Jiang said.
"No wonder, I haven't heard any curses these days." Mrs. Chen said with a chuckle.
Mrs. Huang criticized Sang and Huai every day, but she didn't know it, she was just too lazy to deal with it.
Su Jiangshi remained silent, and Su Liu said: "That's really strange. If that girl is not married at this age, she must be very selective. Can she still like Su Fusheng?"
"I'm afraid this is the fate between people."
Su Liu was a little dissatisfied and felt a little weird in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, no matter how good the Su family was, they still had about ten acres of farmland. This was a middle-class family, so they couldn't eat the first meal without finishing the meal.
Thinking like this, she felt relieved. It had nothing to do with them anyway, so she just listened to it as gossip.
Just as he was about to change the topic, Chen Ye walked in from outside, his handsome brows furrowed.
"Ye'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Mrs. Chen noticed it and asked with concern. Su Liu also looked over.
Chen Ye shook his head and said, "No, I just saw a few unfamiliar people pointing at our new house."
Su Liu was stunned: "Someone I don't know?"
Chen Ye nodded. He had been in Da'ao Village for a long time, and he knew at a glance that those people were not from the village.
Su Liu put down her needle and thread and said, "I'll go take a look."
Why would strangers come to see their new house? Is there anything wrong with this?
