Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 27, Third Courtyard Building Plan
The three of them reorganized the gatehouse with excitement, and returned to the main house to discuss how to deal with the construction materials.

Wang Li’s mother suggested: These building materials are needed everywhere now, and if they are sold, it will be a huge income.

Wang Li said: Mother, I suggest that you don’t sell it, because we haven’t built the last two courtyards yet, and we will need these materials when we build the house. It would be a good time to sell it if there is any left after we finish building the house.

Moreover, materials are in such short supply now. If we have extra cement and building materials, we can exchange them with others for other building materials. It is much more convenient than buying them with money.

After hearing this, the mother also sobered up from her excitement and nodded in agreement with Wang Li's suggestion. Finally, Wang Li's father made the final decision and agreed to build the third courtyard house first.

Mother said: We should indeed renovate the house in the third courtyard first. After it is completed, we can use it as Xiaoli’s wedding house.

Wang Li's head was full of exclamation marks. I'm only nine years old. Isn't it too early to think about this? Although my physical development is better than that of a 13-year-old child, I can't cover it up.

Wang Li’s father asked: Wang Li, what do you think about building a third courtyard house?
Wang Li thought for a moment and replied: Father, I have also considered the issue of the third courtyard house. There will be no west wing in the third courtyard. A partition wall will be built on the east side next to the garden, and a hanging flower gate will be opened to connect it to the corridor.

In the middle of the third courtyard, a row of houses 17 meters long and 6 meters wide was built as the main house. The open space in front of the main house is 8 meters wide, and the open space behind is 4 meters wide. The open space in front can be used as a place for me to practice martial arts, and the open space behind can be transformed into a small garden.

The main house is divided into two rooms, and a 7-meter-long and 6-meter-wide kitchen and boiler room is built next to the courtyard wall, which is used for cooking and heating the main house.

The remaining main house has a two-story building of 10 meters long and 6 meters wide, with a living room and bathroom downstairs and bedrooms upstairs. A two-story basement of 17 meters long and 6 meters wide is built under the main house to store the collections I have collected.

An underground warehouse is also dug 5 meters underground in the front yard of the main house, and connected to the second underground floor of the main house. Then the underground floor of the main house is connected to the underground corridor, and an underground corridor is also dug under the corridor to connect to the underground warehouse of the first courtyard. If conditions permit in the future, an underground warehouse will also be built in the second courtyard. This is my preliminary plan, what do you think, father and mother?
Wang Li's parents were stunned after hearing this. After all, this project seemed a bit big, but when they thought of the construction materials in the underground warehouse in the front yard, they felt confident and agreed to Wang Li's house building plan.

At this time, my mother suddenly remembered something and asked: "Master, when I mentioned the first time I entered the yard, I suddenly remembered who put all those things underground? Will there be any problems if we use them? What should we do if someone comes to find us?"
Wang Li answered for his father: "Mother, there is no problem. We bought this house before the establishment of the New Dragon State. The things under the ground are ours. We will not give them to anyone who comes. As for who you are worried about coming to look for you, I think he dare not come to look for you, because I think these things belong to the shopkeeper Sun. As for why they sold it to us together with the house? I don't know, but I can guarantee one thing, their family dare not come back, maybe they have all fled to Taiwan now, because his eldest son is a senior official of the White Party."

After hearing his explanation, his mother was finally relieved and no longer worried about the issue.

Wang Li didn't know that only part of his guess was correct. In fact, Manager Sun didn't know these things. Because the courtyard had been severely damaged, the Sun family rarely came here.

These things were not put there by his eldest son. Instead, his second son, after returning to Kyoto, had no way to make a living so he used his eldest brother's connections to obtain these scarce building materials and secretly stored them in the underground warehouse of the courtyard.

Because he got the news that the army needed building materials to build fortifications to resist the attack of the Red Party, so he asked someone to stockpile these building materials, but before he could sell them, his father arranged for him to go to his eldest brother in Nandu.

He thought that the Red Party would not attack so quickly with the remaining building materials, so he would tell his father when he had the chance and ask him to help him sell these materials.

However, he did not expect that when he was sent out to carry out a mission, his father had already sold the courtyard house and went to live with his eldest brother.

After he heard the news and rushed back to Nandu to see his father, General Zheng in Kyoto had surrendered before they could return to Kyoto to claim the supplies.

Therefore, by accident, this batch of precious materials became the property of the Wang family.
