After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 39 New House Completed
With the arrival of the twelfth lunar month, the house that lasted one month and eight days was finally finished.

The walls of the two original houses were plastered again, and the new walls were neat and smooth. After the roof was reinforced, the thatched roof was removed and covered with blue tiles.

On the basis of the original house, two rooms were added on the east and west sides.

To the west are two slightly larger tile-roofed houses, each [-] square meters, one is Qin Yao's bedroom, and the other is the new bedroom of the four Dalang brothers and sisters.

The furniture in Qin Yao's bedroom is all newly made.

A 1.5-meter bed, a 1.5-meter-wide and [-]-meter-high wardrobe, two square boxes, and a set of desks and chairs.

Except for the bed and box, which are simple styles that are popular here, the rest of the wardrobe, office desk and chairs were all designed by Qin Yao herself.

The wardrobe is boxy and does not require any carvings. It is exactly the same as modern minimalist furniture.

The inside is divided into a clothes hanging area and a stacking area. There are four drawers below, and there is a margin on the top for quilts.

The office desk and chair is a rectangular table of 1.2 meters by [-] centimeters, with two drawers and a simple wooden chair, and it will work.

The bronze mirror is very expensive, Qin Yao is not willing to buy it, it is temporarily vacant, other than that, everything needed for daily life is available.

The remaining space will be added slowly when she has something she wants in the future.

In the bedroom of the four siblings, there are two 1.3-meter bunk beds that Qin Yao asked the carpenter to make.

In this way, each of the four brothers and sisters has its own independent bed.

In order to grab the upper bunk, the four brothers and sisters cast lots for a long time, and finally the upper bunk was contracted by Sanlang and Erlang, while Dalang and Siniang slept in the lower bunk.

In the middle of the two beds, there are two newly made boxes, which can also be used for storage, and some daily necessities can be placed on the flat surface.

Under each bed, there are two drawers, plus the chest, the storage space allocated to the four brothers and sisters is the same.

Below the window, there is a table two meters long and eighty centimeters wide, with four high stools, one for each of the four brothers and sisters.

Because Siniang is a girl, Qin Yao also considered that it would be inconvenient for her to sleep in the same room with her brothers when she grew up, so in the four-person room, a threshold slot for inserting wooden boards was made in advance.

When Si Niang grows up, she can install the door panel to create a separate small space, which can accommodate a single bed, a dressing table, and a small wardrobe.

And the door has been reserved in advance, it is locked now, and when it is opened in the future, it will be another door, a completely independent space.

In terms of the room layout of the four brothers and sisters, Qin Yao can be regarded as leveling a bowl of water.

Because the carpenter thought the style of the bunk bed was exquisite, he removed all the furniture in the house and gave Qin Yao a big discount.

The two new houses on the east side are much smaller, with thatched roofs, one is fifteen square meters, and the other is only six square meters.

The big one is a combination of the kitchen and the utility room, separated from the two rooms, next to the original side room.

The original stove was knocked out, and a bricklayer was hired to build a new stove with two burners so that cooking and stir-frying could be done at the same time.

Qin Yao specifically asked Liu Ji if he had any comments, he shook his head and said no, it was very good, so there was no further change.

I bought a new one for the water tank, and I put two of the previous water tanks in the kitchen. Filling up the water once is enough for the whole family for three days, which is much more convenient than having to pick it up several times a day.

Of course, it would be even better if there are natural springs on the back mountain that can be imported.

However, due to the large amount of work, it can only be put aside for the time being.

A small room of six square meters is the bathroom.

Uncle Jiu laid all the tiles that were broken during transportation on the ground, and used a wooden hammer to knock them all flat and smooth, so that even if the ground was wet, there would be no fear of turning it into mud.

Qin Yao planned to use this place specifically for bathing. She could also put a pail here at night to make it easier to go to the toilet at night.

Every household in the village has thatched huts, but because of superstitions such as Feng Shui, the huts are built far away, usually behind the houses, about 30 meters away.

Of course, there is also a distance of 50 meters.

Qin Yao had no choice but to follow the Romans and build a hut at the foot of a mountain more than 20 meters away from home.

When going to the toilet, you have to go through the back door of the newly built wall. After exiting the door, you have to walk through a wasteland before you can get to the latrine.

Fortunately, she also has a shower room. If she is usually lazy, she can make do with it at home, and then take it to the latrine to empty it out in the morning.

Liu Ji moved from the main house to the side room, which will be his room from now on, and the room is full of old furniture used at home.

Those that were no longer needed were chopped down by Qin Yao to set fire to.

In this regard, although Liu Ji envied the new house and new furniture, he didn't dare to say anything. He just complained about the injustice while cooking.

He is the one who washes, cooks and cleans in this house, but the treatment is not as good as the four children who run around every day.

The former main house has become the main room for receiving guests and the dining room for eating. There are only some tables, chairs and benches in it, and there are no other decorations.

Now all the furniture in the new home is log-colored. The blue mud floor has been hammered tightly with a hammer. The floor is bright and smooth. The whole home feels warm and bright.

A [-]-meter-high fence was built to protect the entire yard in the middle, dividing the front and back yards.

The front yard is very spacious, and a lot of open space was enclosed before entering. Old man Liu specially used the stones he picked up to surround two vegetable plots. Mrs. Zhang also gave a package of vegetable seeds, and told Liu Ji to grow and order vegetables for himself. It's not worth spending money on.

At the entrance of the kitchen, Qin Yao made a large sink, which is convenient for doing laundry and vegetables.

The sink uses a stone pig trough, which is not used by the uncle's house.

Qin Yao carried the heavy stone trough back by himself, cleaned it and chiseled the four walls with a pick, and there was a ready-made large single trough, fully 1.2 meters long.

Uncle Jiu helped to find four short pieces of wood to make a support, [-] centimeters above the ground, put the stone trough on it, and it fit perfectly, and it was a perfect washing pool.

It must be very cool to wash dishes and clothes at ordinary times.

In the middle of the stone trough, Qin Yao cut a hole for the water, which can store water by blocking it with a wooden stopper.

In order not to wet the ground in the yard, bamboo is used to make water pipes, which are directly connected to the drainage ditch under the eaves, and then drained along the ditch to the barren slope outside the house.

After the sink was finished, the clansmen who came to help said it was easy to use, and they planned to go back and make one for their own women, so as not to have to move a large basin of water to pour it out, which would be exhausting.

In order to match the sink, Qin Yao moved one of the two water tanks in the kitchen to make it easier to use water.

If it rains, the accumulated water in the sink can also be used to water vegetables.

The backyard is a little smaller, and it is currently vacant. Qin Yao plans to set up a few wooden stakes and the like to make a martial arts training ground.

After the whole new home was built, Qin Yao finally felt a little convenience in life.

After counting an auspicious day, I asked the two sisters-in-law to cook a meal together, and invited people from the village to come over to warm the house.

The big guys are envious when they see these sinks, shower rooms, and simple and beautiful log furniture that they have never seen before.
