Chapter 60 Homestead

Of course, Mu Zhixu declined, because there are so many of them, they can eat very well, besides, they are not relatives or relatives, and they are polite, so they can't climb along the pole.

But the Xia clan knew how to be a man, so they declined, so she put six steamed buns in a basket and sent them over.

Mu Zhixu didn't refuse this time and accepted it.

When the meal was ready, she filled half a bowl of scrambled eggs and sent it over.

The two sides have come and gone, and both are quite satisfied with each other.

After dinner, several people gathered in the rooms of Mu Zhixu, Mu Zhihe, and Mu Zhixia to discuss the matter of the house.

Gu Lin spoke first, "I'll go to the village head to buy an acre of land tomorrow, an acre is not enough."

It means that he wants to build a yard alone.

Although the two are unmarried couples, it is inappropriate to live together, and they don't care about it on the way to flee famine.

If the village continues to live like this, and there is no elder in the family, it will definitely be drowned by other people's spittle.

He has to consider Ash's reputation.

"Well, that's what I planned too, one mu is too little." Mu Zhixu said.

In fact, it's okay, at most the yard is a little less, and it can't be covered.

But she wanted a room for everyone, the main room, the east and west wing rooms, the kitchen and the utility room, the front yard and the back yard...it wasn't enough.

"Ah Xu, you don't need to buy it. I'll give you the homestead under my name so we can build a house together." Mu Zhihe said hastily.

"I'm the only one left in my house, and I don't dare to live alone. Besides, I... have no money to build a house, so I can only brazenly follow you. Don't worry, in the future I... the homestead will be yours."

She was talking about getting married in the future.

After the homestead is approved, it belongs to them.

Mu Zhixu didn't want Mu Zhihe to live alone, it was not safe.

The reason why I didn't say it first was because I was afraid that she would want to live by herself.

It's the best now, and everyone is happy.

Regarding the homestead, she will prepare a dowry for her cousin when she gets married in the future.

"Then let's build two courtyards!" They have money, and they are not afraid of other people's thoughts.

"Yeah." Gu Lin glanced at her.

"By the way, let's build a green brick and tile house, just like the one at Mrs. Xia's house. It's spacious and bright."

The house they live in is a brick house.

"You are in charge!"

Mu Zhixia's face burst into light, "Sister, can we also live in a brick house? Will our family also have a brick house in the future?"

That's great.

Mu Zhixu looked at them very excitedly, and nodded with a smile, "Well, just do it in one step, just build a brick and tile house."

Anyway, she still has some money in her hand.

The 1000 taels I got from Su Qingyi, 500 taels for saving Nanfeng on the way, Gu Lin and her won 500 taels from Lucky Lai, plus some scattered silver.

Then there is the settling fee of 12 taels, excluding the expenses spent on the road.

Now there are about 800 taels in hand.

Two small farm yards, enough money.

At night, after several people were asleep, Mu Zhixu lay on the table alone, drawing drawings with candles.

What she drew was a drawing of a courtyard house, with three main rooms and two east and west wing rooms, leaving room for the back seat, which can be covered if it is not enough to live in in the future.

There is also an inverted kitchen and a utility room in the front yard, and the open space in the front yard is also kept as spacious as possible.

The two yards are going to be built the same, and one drawing is enough.

The new year is only eight days away, and construction can actually start before the year.

While she was drawing the blueprints, Gu Lin who was in the other room quietly left the yard.

Go straight to the Daqing Mountain behind the village.

It was already late at night when Mu Zhixu finished drawing the drawings, so she hurried to bed and squinted.

After dawn, she yawned, washed up, and went to the village chief's house with the drawings.

She still had two packs of snacks in her hand.

"The village chief! Is the village chief at home?" Mu Zhixu called out at the gate of the yard.

It's like this in the countryside. It's hard to hear you knocking on the door.

Aunt Wang, the village head's daughter-in-law, came out of the kitchen, "Who is it? You are..."

She opened the door and looked at the smiling girl at the door, very strange.

"Hello aunt, I am the Mu family who settled down in the village yesterday. Mu Zhixu, I came to ask the village head about the house. I brought these pastries from Fucheng. Let the children have a taste." Zhixu smiled and handed over the pastry.

Aunt Wang accepted it subconsciously.

This is a pastry brought from Fucheng, she has not eaten it yet.

She looked at Mu Zhixu with soft eyes, "So it's you, come in quickly, the head of the house, Mu girl is looking for you!"

The address instantly changed to Mu girl.

Mu Zhixu couldn't stop laughing in his heart, so, a stepping stone is necessary.

The village head heard the voice, looked at the pretty girl in the yard, and smiled, "Girl of the Mu family, what do you want from me?"

Mu Zhixu quickly took out the blueprint, "That's right, the village chief, we want to build two yards like this, and the homestead may not be enough, so we want to measure another acre to the side. The other thing is, we just came here, so it's not good for the village. I am familiar with it, I would like to ask how much silver taels it would cost to build a brick and tile house like this here?"

"We plan to find someone to help and pay them. The people in the village... have to ask the village chief to help you grow eyes."

After she finished speaking, she calmly put a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" that she had prepared in her sleeve on the table.

This Analects of Confucius was copied by Gu Lin when she had nothing to do, and she still has it at home, so she can use it as a gift.

She heard from the Xia family that the youngest son and eldest grandson of the village chief's family are all studying, needless to say the value of the books.

Although a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" is an excerpt, it still needs two taels of silver.

Sure enough, the village chief swallowed the words he was about to resign.

This gift was really delivered to his heart.

"For homesteads, the price in the village is three taels of silver per mu. If you want one mu, I'll make the decision. I'll give you an extra half mu for three taels of silver. As for the brick and tile houses..." The village chief glanced at the blueprint.

Then he looked at Mu Zhixu a few more times.

This is no ordinary house. After it is built, it will be the only one in the village.

Several half-grown children...

He pondered for a while, "I'm not sure, but I have a cousin who builds houses for others. Wait a moment, I'll have someone call him over."

"I'm sorry to trouble the village chief." Mu Zhixu smiled calmly.

She doesn't look like a young girl at all, like a person who has gone through thousands of sails, casual and indifferent.

The village chief waved his hand and asked the family's eldest grandson to call someone.

After a while, a man came, a man in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and burly.

"Miss Mu, it's you who want to build a house?" He greeted the village head after he came in, and then talked to Mu Zhixu.

At the time when the village chief's grandson went to call someone, Mu Zhixu chatted with the village chief casually.

The village chief had a deeper understanding of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in front of him.

"Yes, this is my blueprint!" Mu Zhixu handed over the blueprint.

"You drew it?!" Zhou Yun's eyes widened when he saw it. This drawing was better than many people he had seen.
