With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 23 023. Blue Brick and Terracotta
Then Gu Xiaoxiao left the village chief's house and returned home.After finishing the work, I will wait for Qian Bin to come to me in the afternoon, and now I have to think about what kind of house to build!
There is still a large open space behind the house, which can actually be used to expand the land area. First, the house is surrounded. The outer wall must be built first, and then the house inside will be built.

Step by step, other details still need to be discussed with Qian Bin, as well as the issue of where they live before the house is demolished and built, you have to talk to Qian Bin at that time.

After sorting things out, she stayed and rested for a while, and it was time to make lunch, so she got up and went to work in the kitchen.

Two Treasures, Three Treasures and Four Treasures were still playing with Rhubarb in the yard, and after Dabao confirmed that his master agreed to teach them, he dragged Zhou Zeyun to study, and asked his father to teach him more things, so that he could give his master a good impression when he came.

Naturally, Gu Xiaoxiao doesn't bother their father and son. It's a good thing to love learning, so please support!
After lunch, there was a knock on the door, followed by a loud male voice shouting, "Is Miss Gu at home? The village head called me!"

Knowing that it was Qian Bin who came, Gu Xiaoxiao hurried to open the door.

"Come on! Come in, I'm waiting for you." She smiled and said politely.

During this period of time when Qian Bin returned to the village, he had heard about Gu Xiaoxiao's affairs more or less, but he had never seen him in person, because he had been harvesting in autumn, and Gu Xiaoxiao's family had no land, so the two of them couldn't touch each other. To face.From other people's descriptions, he imagined that this was a sturdy woman.

At this time, as the door suddenly opened, the smiling and pretty girl was greeted, and she was a little stunned for a while.

"You are Mrs. Gu?" The tone was unbelievable.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded when she heard this, and looked at him with some doubts in her eyes.

"I am, what's the matter?"

"Ah, no...it's nothing, I just didn't expect that the heroic and fearless lady Gu, who was mentioned by others, was actually a little girl." Qian Bin regained his senses and explained.

Gu Xiaoxin secretly smiled.Bravery probably refers to the fact that she kicked Zhou Weijie away with one kick.Fearless, that is to say she is bold.This wording is quite appropriate, at least she won't feel uncomfortable when she hears it.

What the village chief said was indeed true, this kid is really clever!
She smiled softly, "Don't just stand there, come in, let's talk about business."

"Hey, good!"

Immediately after the two came in, Zhou Zeyun looked at the visitor with some doubts, and then looked at Gu Xiaoxiao.

Only then did she remember that she hadn't told Zhou Zeyun that she was going to build a house. After all, this was also his home, so she should tell him about it.

So Qian Bin was asked to sit down and wait for a while, then she took Zhou Zeyun to the east room and talked about it.

Zhou Zeyun thought for a while, then nodded, "Sure, you've done a good job. It's really difficult for this house to survive the winter. Just do what you want, and I will support you!" Just like she supported him to study...

Gu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and smiled, knowing that her husband is a sensible person, she has such a good eye!

After explaining to the beautiful friend, she went to negotiate with Qian Bin.

When she went out from the east room, she saw Qian Bin sitting upright, looking at the environment inside the room.

She walked over slowly, sat opposite him, and slightly opened her lips, "What are you looking at?"

Only then did Qian Bin look away, looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Oh! Let me take a look at the structure of your house. The village chief told me about the building of the house. If you have any ideas, I will try my best to help of!"

"Thank you so much." Gu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Hey, don't say that. When the village chief went to my house and said that Mrs. Gu was looking for this, my mother immediately agreed for me... Of course I am willing too! Before I came here, my mother told me He said that he would definitely help you!"

"Aunt Zhao is really nice and has helped me a lot!" She smiled even more heartwarmingly when she heard Qian Bin's words.

Afterwards, we stopped exchanging pleasantries and started talking about business.

"I'm planning to use the open space behind the house to build a bigger house, and I can divide the rooms into a few more rooms. When the children get older, they won't be able to sleep together anymore." She paused and continued. Said: "I also want to use blue bricks and terracotta tiles for building materials. Please help me find which one is more suitable for the price."

"Green bricks and pottery tiles?! Madam Gu, the price of this material cannot be cheap!" Qian Bin was a little surprised, knowing that every household in the village is made of earthen walls, and the better one is red brick and cement. This Madam Gu Direct blue bricks and terracotta tiles are only used by big households in the town!

"It doesn't matter, you try to lower the price as much as you can, it doesn't matter if you can't lower it, as long as you don't get ripped off!" Gu Xiaoxiao said.

She also thought that the price would definitely be a little more, but compared to the prices of this era, no matter how expensive it is, it is less than 300 taels. After all, even if the open space behind the house is included, the place is barely big and small, and it is not as expensive as the big family. The yard is incomparable.It doesn't take too many bricks and tiles, which is the amount of normal people.

"However, I want to build the fence a little higher, and make the ceiling of the house a little higher, so that it looks grand!" Her first house here has a special meaning in her heart, so it's better.

"That's no problem." Qian Bin laughed.

"Also, because we only live in this place, I think you should build the outside first. If you want to build the inside, you should first build the open space behind the house, we will move there, and then demolish the front house, otherwise we will have nothing to do. place to live."

"it is good."

"Well... I think the construction will start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At that time, the village chief can help find a dozen villagers. You take them with you. This job will give you [-] yuan a day. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Qian Bin quickly waved his hands, "Hey, no need, it's just a favor from the neighbors, what money do you give me! If I take the money, I won't be able to explain it to my mother when I go back!"

"It doesn't matter, everyone who comes to work with this money has it. They are twenty coins, and you are the leader. You have more things to worry about, and naturally you get paid more than them, but I can't give too much on this condition now. After all, the family still has to spend, so I will give you an increase of ten cents, if you don't want it, you will dislike me for not giving me enough money?" She teased.

"No, no, no, I never meant that! You paid more than the outside long-term workers, and I earned it, so how could I dislike it! It's just..."

"That's fine!" Gu Xiaoxiao interrupted him, "Don't refuse, one thing is another thing, even if Aunt Zhao comes over, the money should be given or I will give it to you."

It was useless to push and push, anyway, she still had to give it in the end, so once she made a decision, she didn't give Qian Bin another chance to refuse, so she made a decision.

Seeing this, Qian Bin didn't say anything more.That being the case, when the time comes, just do a good job for Mrs. Gu and live up to her trust!

Then some other details were discussed. Sure enough, Qian Bin had done this kind of work outside and had enough brains, so he would raise some issues that Gu Xiaoxiao hadn't considered much.This also made Gu Xiaoxiao very satisfied.

When the discussion was almost over, he got up and said goodbye.While it was still early, he hurried to the town to fix the building materials. The blue bricks and terracotta tiles Mrs. Gu wanted were the most important, and they had to be in place as soon as possible.

After Qian Bin left, the four little ones surrounded him. Just now they quietly asked Dad, what did Mom talk about with that uncle?Dad said they were going to live in a new house.

This makes the cubs very happy, even though they are so young, beauty and ugliness can still be distinguished, for example, the house where Zhou's father and Zhou mother live is more beautiful than the house they live in now.

So when they heard that they were going to live in a new house, the first thing that came to mind was to live in a house that looked like Zhou's father and Zhou's mother's house.

So as soon as Qian Bin left, they surrounded him.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, looked at the few short potatoes in front of her, and smiled secretly.

Whatever the children were thinking in their hearts was almost expressed on their faces.

Sibao opened his mouth excitedly, and the childish voice of Nuojiji made people feel happy.

"Mom~ we're going to live in a big~ house?" The big character was deliberately drawn out, and the little meaty hand gestured a few times.

Sambo also looked at her expectantly.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded the little Sibao's nose, imitated Sibao's tone and said with a smile: "Yes, we are going to live in a big house!"

Sibao happily grabbed Sanbao's hand beside him, Sanbao was stunned for a moment, then squeezed Sibao's hand tightly, and the two little dumplings happily jumped on the ground a few times.

Today's Three Treasures no longer exclude others from approaching, of course it is limited to their family.

He is also trying to learn to release his heart as his stepmother said. Although he still talks less, he has more interactions with his brothers. Sibao dragged him to play with Dahuang when he was fine, and he became more and more The more you get into it.

Erbao immediately said: "Mom! Then we can practice boxing in a bigger yard!"

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Erbao again, and smiled lightly, "Yes, you can still study in a bigger house!"

As soon as Erbao mentioned the upcoming teaching, Er Bao had a bitter face.During this period of time, he saw several elderly children in the village, and their families sent them to private schools.

Those who came back after class said that the old master's teaching was so boring that they couldn't listen to it.

Er Bao couldn't imagine himself sitting there listening to the rhetoric of "Zhihuzheye" with a straight face, he might be going crazy!
But there is no way, if you don't study, you can't be a general, and you have to farm in the village. Between the short-term boring and the lack of meat and freedom for a lifetime, he resolutely chose the former, isn't it just learning!If he can learn boxing, how difficult can it be to read and write!
And Dabao pursed his lips lightly, thought for a while and said, "Then where are we going to live? This house has to be demolished before we can build another house. During this period, where are we going to live?"

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him with relief in his eyes.Sure enough, the future Lord Jiuqing has a good brain, is good at finding flaws, has subtle observations, and meticulous logic. He is born with the talent to be the minister of Dali Temple!
At this moment, she belongs to her family. It doesn't matter how you look at her own children!
But he didn't show anything on the surface, and answered his question normally, "Of course there will be a place to live, and there is an open space behind, you can think about the rest yourself!"

Dabao frowned slightly, and really went aside to think.

Gu Xiaoxiao secretly laughed, children are just fun to play with, and more serious children are more fun to play with!
She also plans to give the children a room after the new house is built, which is also to exercise their self-care ability.But I don't want to tell them yet, let's talk about it later!

Qian Bin came again the next day, walked in with a smile, and brought good news.

"There is a building material store, the price of blue bricks and terracotta tiles made me lower by [-]%, and finally gave us [-]% of the original price. Although it was only [-]% lower, I did my best. The price of this building material is because It's scarce, and it's not easy to lower the price." Qian Bin said helplessly.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, expressing her understanding.She knew that Qian Bin was already very good at suppressing that [-]%, and she must have spent a lot of talking.

She poured him a glass of water, and she was extremely satisfied.

The required tools and materials were finally sold at 150 taels of silver, and the payment was made on the day of delivery, and the matter was completed. Once everyone was ready, the work could start!

Coincidentally, the village head also came at this time, bringing fifteen other villagers with him.

First, I gave Gu Xiaoxiao the completed formalities, and Gu Xiaoxiao checked that there was nothing wrong with it, so she put it away.

Then he took her to see the fifteen people, most of whom were young and middle-aged, and most of them came home because of the autumn harvest, and some of them lived in the village.

She took a look, picked out the three who looked a little thin, and let them go back. She stayed with the remaining twelve, and Qian Bin happened to be there, so she let them meet and get acquainted.

Everything is ready, Qian Bin plans to start construction early tomorrow morning, which is also in line with Gu Xiaoxiao's intentions, anyway, the sooner the better, then Xu Jiaoxi can come to teach the cubs.

That night, the children were so excited that they didn't go to bed until very late. The next morning, Da Bao, Er Bao and San Bao got up early again, waiting to see them start building the fence.

Dabao had also figured out the role of the open space behind him a long time ago, and he couldn't help but admire Gu Xiaoxiao in his heart, he didn't even think of this way in the first place!

However, everyone in the family is awake, but Sibao is still asleep. He used to get up with his brothers before, but now he just fell asleep deeply.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought that he went to bed too late last night, and children have a fixed sleep time. They went to bed late last night, and it is normal to sleep in late today. If the other three were not interested in starting work, they might not be able to get up. here.So she didn't care about Sibao and let him fall asleep.

And she took the third son out and waited for Qian Bin and the others to come over, and started making breakfast by the way.

I also told Qian Bin and the others before that she took care of their lunch, came over to start work after breakfast, and let them go home before dinner.

So there was no need to think about Qian Bin and the others at this time, they were only doing the part of the family, and because Sibao didn't wake up, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't bother him either.

In this way, after breakfast, Qian Bin and the twelve fellow villagers came over one after another.

The groundbreaking ceremony began. Firstly, Zhou Zeyun and Gu Xiaoxiao worshiped the heaven and the earth together. Then, with the sound of firecrackers, the ceremony ended.

Qian Bin took the sledgehammer, and Gu Xiaoxiao dropped the first hammer. Originally, Gu Xiaoxiao wanted Zhou Zeyun to come. After all, this was his home, but Zhou Zeyun gave it to her.

She thought it didn't matter, so she smashed it down. From then on, the house started to be built, Qian Bin assigned work, and a dozen people dispersed in an instant, and each started to work.

Occasionally, the villagers who passed by were a little surprised when they saw it. Isn't the Zhou family very poor this week?How can I afford to renovate a house?Naturally, they didn't know that Gu Xiaoxiao was planning to build a really nice big house.

However, there was a happy event at home, and the people passing by were surprised and surprised, so they naturally wanted to send their blessings. Gu Xiaoxiao also thanked them one by one, and after a few words of pleasantries, the people passing by left.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked back at the broken earthen wall being torn down, smiled lightly, and saw that they were working hard, so she told Qian Bin a few more words, and then went back to the house, leaving them alone .
