"We'll think about it and get back to you in two days," Chen Dahai said.
"That's okay. Once you decide, I'll find someone to help you build a house. Xiao Qi has already mentioned this, and everyone in the village is willing to help." Zhang An said with a smile.
Chen Dahai bowed and thanked, "Okay, thank you, village chief."
After the grandfather and grandson returned to the Bai family, Chen Dahai went to see Mr. Bai to discuss the matter. Mr. Bai was very happy, thinking that this was Chen Dahai's trust and respect for him.
At night, he called Baishan, Baitian, Dalang, Bai Banxia, Sanlang and Xiaoyu to his room to discuss.
"I came to you to discuss the matter of building a house for the Chen family. Erlang is busy studying, so I won't call him. I don't want him to be distracted by this matter," the old man said.
Everyone nodded and listened to the old man's brief words.
"Dad, I think the foot of the mountain is good. It's better than the riverside. Wolves like this don't happen often, not to mention there are defense teams in the village." Bai Tian said.
Dalang also nodded, "It's convenient to chop firewood at the foot of the mountain, and you can also go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables and hunt. They don't have any fields, so this is more convenient."
But Mr. Bai waved his hand and said: "I think I owe it to the Chen family, and Dahai also trusts me. Otherwise, our backyard will be demolished, and the land outside will be given to them, so that they can build a house next to us?"
He continued: "We won't grow vegetables in our backyard anymore, and the two families can take care of each other in the future. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
"Dad, it's not that bad at the foot of the mountain. There's no need to squeeze in with our family, right?" Bai Tian obviously didn't agree.
Bai Shan hesitated a little, and just when he was about to open it, he heard the old man say: "Isn't that dangerous? Our family owes the Chen family, what's wrong with giving them a little space to build a house? Don't be too stingy."
This is obviously a decided attitude.
"Grandpa, you are right to think so. Our family will have to build a new house in the future, and it will be difficult to expand the Chen family's house. If there are more people in the two families in the future, they will be crowded." Bai Banxia spoke.
Xiaoyu also said: "I see that Brother Chen Liang will marry a wife soon. He is in good health. Maybe he will have several children in the future. This house will not only be lived in for ten or eight years. When his children grow up,
If we get married again, we can’t expand even if we want to.”
"Yes, Erlang and Sanlang are about to kiss each other, so we can't squeeze together anymore." Bai Shan also spoke.
"It's not that fast. Let them live here first and then move there when there is a suitable land in the village." The old man insisted, not wanting to change his mind.
Bai Banxia secretly thought that the old man was old and missed old friendships, but he was stubborn and some of his ideas were wrong.
"Grandpa, the Chen family settled here because they want to be found for a long time. The house they are building now is an old house. It is never good to ask people to move in the future. If something goes wrong after moving, it will hurt our feelings."
She continued: "One more thing, no matter how close the relationship between two families is, there will always be friction and collision. If we really want to build a house for them in the backyard, our neighbors are not as close as them. From now on, we will live in a crowded place, and it will be a little bit...
Wouldn’t conflict hurt feelings even more?”
"Yes, they live not far from the foot of the mountain. We can build two rooms for them and make them beautiful. We can also help them on weekdays." Sanlang also agreed.
But the old man suddenly became angry, slapped the small table on the kang, and said: "You just can't tolerate people. There are only two of them in the Chen family. What's the point of living alone at the foot of the mountain? Don't say any more.
, I have already decided on this matter!"
The old lady who had been silent for a long time quickly winked at Bai Tian, patted the old man on the back, and persuaded: "Old man, why are you so angry? The children have also discussed it with you. How can they not listen to you?"
"Dad, take a rest first, we'll talk later." Seeing this, Bai Tian had no choice but to signal everyone to go out first.
After leaving the old man's house, Bai Banxia sighed helplessly, and everyone looked at each other to express their helplessness.
"Wait until dad's anger subsides before trying to persuade him." Bai Tian whispered.
Everyone nodded, and that was all.
Qi Zhen was not called in, but he heard enough in the yard. He went to tell Bai Banxia: "Go and do your work. Leave this matter to me. He will change his mind."
"Are you that confident?" Bai Banxia raised an eyebrow.
Qi Zhen laughed and said, "Just wait."
As a result, when Bai Tian and his friends came back from setting up a stall the next day, the old man said to everyone in a refreshing mood: "The Chen family should build their house at the foot of the mountain. You two should worry more and make the house stronger."
Bai Banxia hurriedly looked at Qi Zhen, and Qi Zhen smiled at her, and this smile was a bit confounding.
The rest of the Bai family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the old man had changed his mind. Bai Banxia took Qi Zhen to the backyard for questioning.
"How did you persuade him?" she asked curiously.
Qi Zhen laughed, "I didn't go to find grandpa."
Bai Banxia came to his senses, "Did you find Chen Liang?"
Qi Zhen nodded, "I told him that if the Chen family wanted to spread its branches, a bigger place would be better, otherwise it would be like living dependent on the Bai family. In addition, I told him that the defense team would definitely continue to do it.
Zhang An will not wear multiple hats. The defense team will choose the captain in the future. Living close to the foot of the mountain is an advantage."
"He is a foreigner, how can you be confident that he can be chosen as the captain?" Bai Banxia asked.
"I don't have confidence. He just has confidence, or ambition is enough, so he convinced his grandfather, and then the two of them convinced your grandfather." Qi Zhen said with a treacherous look.
Good guy, this is a big cake for Chen Liang. Whether Chen Liang can eat this big cake or not is his own business.
"It's too treacherous." Bai Banxia laughed, "But I like it."
Qi Zhen's cheeks turned redder, and the tips of his ears were slightly red, "Have you finally admitted that you like me?"
"I mean such a cunning method." Bai Banxia also blushed.
"No need to explain, I understand."
"You know nothing!"
"Girls can't say shit."
"Butt butt!"
"you……"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
In the next few days, the Chen family began to build a house, and the Bai family contributed money and effort. People in the village also came to help, and they all said that they could eat delicious food from the Bai family again.
Even Chen Dahai had to agree with this. The food in the Bai family was really delicious, and I was really reluctant to move away from the Bai family.
Because Bai Banxia was busy cooking for the villagers who helped him, he didn't accompany Qi Zhen to the county government office. He only listened to him talk about news from the county government office from time to time.
Du Kangcheng really discovered the Luomei Pavilion line through medicinal herbs, which probably also contained secret hints from Zhou Hai and Zhang Tie. In addition, Du Kangcheng actually found unexpected news.
"The Seventh Prince is supported by Luomei Pavilion? Who is the Seventh Prince?" Bai Banxia asked curiously.
"The seventh prince was sent to the Beiyuan Kingdom to be a hostage when he was young. He has no sense of existence. Now he comes back to do this. I don't know if he has a plan in advance or if the forces of the Beiyuan Kingdom are behind him." Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia rubbed her temples, "He is both a prince and a proton. It makes me have a headache. Please stay away from us as soon as possible."
Qi Zhen pursed his lips and his eyes dimmed a bit.
