Chapter 118 Want to Build a House
When Shen Ruoqing returned home, he saw Mrs. Ji looking very happy.

Shen Ruoqing was heartbroken. It seemed that the ginseng was sold at a good price.

"Baby, do you know how much that ginseng costs?" When Mrs. Ji saw Shen Ruoqing coming back, she pulled her into the house to talk.

Mrs. Ji's ginseng was sold to Dalong. Dalong sold it to Brother Biao under the command of Shen Ruoqing. The price was naturally high.

Shen Ruoqing was very happy and asked pretending to be confused: "Mom, how much does this cost? It should be a few hundred at least?"

"Good boy, let me tell you what I sold for this amount! It's a full 2000 yuan!" Mrs. Ji was delighted, "Mom, I'll keep all this for you, and I'll use it as your dowry!"

Who can have 2000 yuan as dowry money now?
You can marry a wife with a bride price of 80 yuan. With this money, you can marry 2000 wives.Her family has [-] yuan for her baby. When the time comes, I will save some money to buy her some sewing machines and other dowries, and she will definitely be able to marry into a well-to-do family in the city.

"Mom, I don't want this money to be used as dowry money. The mud house at home is in a state of disrepair. How about we use this money to build a new house properly? Shen Hanwen, Shen Hanwu, Shen Yun and Shen Xue have all grown up. It won’t be convenient to live in the same house in the future, and Han Xi and Shen Yin will grow up in the future, so why not make the house bigger so that they can live more conveniently and comfortably."

Shen Ruoqing didn't take out the ginseng just so that Mrs. Ji could save her dowry money. Besides, how could she be so rich and make her brothers suffer so much and live in a leaky earthen house? Woolen cloth?

"Mom, I have thought about it. With this money, we will build a big brick house with [-] bedrooms, leaving one room for the fourth brother and his family, so that the fourth brother can live in it when he comes back. , the toilet needs to be repaired, we will repair it like the toilets in the city, and the dry toilets at home will be eliminated."

Shen Ruoqing mustered up great courage every time he went to the dry toilet. The toilet at home should have been replaced a long time ago.

"This will cost a lot of money." Mrs. Ji frowned. If she had to build so many rooms, and also build a house with blue bricks and large tiles, the 2000 yuan would be gone.

"My dear, let's treat this money as your down payment. We have rented the house for so long and we are used to it. It will be too late to renovate the house when we have saved enough money. Then we can build two more rooms. A house would be nice." Mrs. Ji also wants to live in a big house, but without the money, how can her sweet child marry into a good family?
"Mom, just listen to me. I don't need that much dowry. If my husband likes me in the future because I have so much dowry, he won't be sincere to me. The problem of housing at home still needs to be solved first. Solve it. And Mom, didn’t you say that I earned this money? It should be distributed by me. Since you said it is mine, then I can use it however I want. I just want to change it for my home. house."

"You are so kind-hearted. You think about your brothers and don't think much about yourself. You have to think carefully. This money will help you build a house for your family. When you get married, , there is no share for you." Mrs. Ji sighed and said deliberately with a straight face.

Shen Ruoqing got into Mrs. Ji's arms: "Mom, I have thought about it and will buy a new house for my family. You can't just look after me. If there is no new house at home, how will Shen Hanxi get a wife when he grows up?"

"That's his business. Is it possible that he, a grown man, still wants to worry about me, a grandma? After all, it's his parents who have to worry about him. If he can't get a wife, it will only prove that he has no ability." Mrs. Ji snorted. Twice, "But dear, you don't need to build so many fourteen bedrooms, right? All the girls in the family will get married sooner or later. It will be a waste if those houses are empty in the future..."

Shen Ruoqing also had a serious face now: "Mom, what are you talking about? Is it possible that when I get married in the future, you won't leave an empty house for me and let me go home to live?"

"How could that be? You must keep your room well."

"That's it, Mom, you can't favor one over the other. Besides, I married from our family. If others see that our house is so shabby, they will look down on us. If we build a better house, I will have dignity when I get married. Isn’t it?”

"It seems to make sense." Mrs. Ji was confused by Shen Ruoqing's explanation.

"But dear, if you want to build so many blue brick and large tile houses, the bricks are not easy to approve." To build so many rooms, you have to build a main room and a toilet. Shen Ruoqing also wants one. Bathroom, this requires a lot of bricks.

Shen Ruoqing almost forgot that things are not that easy to buy now. According to what Mrs. Ji said, it is really impossible to build a brick house.

"Then what should we do? Where did the bricks in our village come from?"

"Actually, the Red Flag Brigade has a brick kiln, but without pimps, it's impossible to get so many bricks. We use too much material at home, and even if Captain Tang comes forward, we can't get many bricks." Old Mrs. Ji shook her head, "Really If that doesn't work, just build a stone house. The stones will be transported from the quarry. It just takes a lot of effort. Most people in our village build stone houses."

In fact, Mrs. Ji had thought about building a stone house before, but she wanted to keep the money in her hand for Shen Ruoqing, so she had no money left to build a house.

Compared to a stone house, Shen Ruoqing still prefers to live in a brick house. If you want to build one, just build a better one.

"This matter is not urgent. The Red Flag Brigade has a brick kiln, right? I will go to the Red Flag Brigade this week to see if I can get bricks."

Mrs. Ji knew Shen Ruoqing's temperament and didn't say anything to dissuade her. She just nodded.

"Mom, what about the second sister-in-law?" Shen Ruoqing asked.

Mrs. Wang returned to her parents' home and took Shen Hanxi with her. I don't know if Ms. Wang would say anything to others.

When he came to the county town, Shen Ruoqing deliberately put all the extra things at home into the space, fearing that the Wang family would cause trouble.

"Hmph, since she wants to go back to her parents' home, let her go back to her parents' home. Our family will also save one person's food rations. I don't believe it anymore. I can't cure her." Mrs. Ji obviously didn't mean that. I wanted to ask Shen Xiangnan to call Wang back.

"I'm not dead yet, and I'm already thinking about my family's money. If I'm no longer here, what will happen to her like a demon? Just let her go home and live for a while, and our house will be clean and tidy."

After discussing it, Mrs. Ji came out to cook for Shen Ruoqing.

In fact, Su Jieru was already frying the food. When Dalong got the money back, he also got a few kilograms of meat back. Shen Ruoqing liked the braised pork made by Su Jieru very much.

Of course braised pork must be eaten with white rice. No one in the county saw anything anyway. Shen Ruoqing asked Mrs. Ji to make fine grains for every meal, and Shen Xiangbei and his family benefited a lot.

Of course, Mrs. Ji had beaten Shen Xiangbei and told him to keep his mouth shut.
