Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 47

The news that Hong Haoan bought a piece of vacant land at the end of Dashanping as a homestead quickly spread. Everyone has different thoughts. , The more biased the house is, the better, so as not to be embarrassing.

As for Mrs. Wu, after hearing this, she felt so angry. At the beginning when Mrs. Chen came over to make a fuss about dividing up the family, Second Master Hong disagreed, so he asked her to hand over three taels of silver to Mrs. Chen. It caused her a huge loss.From her point of view, Hong Haoan should give her money when they are separated. Don't cry poorly with her, otherwise, where will the money come to buy the land?

But now that the family is separated, it is impossible for her to blatantly go to the place where Puhuang and the others live to make trouble, so for two consecutive days, she spent two days in the vegetable garden next door, pointing and cursing in their direction, in her In their eyes, Hong Hao'an and Puhuang should have handed over all the money. If they hadn't agreed to split up the family for the sake of the younger sister's reputation, then all the money for the land purchase should have gone into their own hands.

"My lady, don't care about what my mother said." Hong Hao'an looked at Puhuang with some anxiety, afraid that she would do something when she was angry, and it would be hard to be pointed at by others, especially for being unfilial. , is very taboo.

Pu Huang glanced sideways at Hong Haoan, "My heart is not as small as you think, she can talk as long as she likes, as long as she doesn't touch my things." What loss can there be in verbal bragging?

Hong Hao'an was a little dumb, because he wanted to go wrong, "My lady, what I said was wrong, I will make amends to you." As he said that, he really saluted Pu Huang.

Pu Huang spat dumbfoundedly, "Stop doing this, don't say this again in the future, I'll be really angry, I ask you, in your eyes, what is the difference between me and that ordinary woman?"

Hong Hao'an blushed, "My lady, it's my narrow-mindedness. I judge others by myself, and I will never do it again."

"Okay, hurry up and straighten the clothes. I'll go to dry the clothes. After a while, the geographer will come to see Feng Shui. After choosing the location, we can start work as soon as possible." She likes to use a big bucket to wash clothes, imitating the washing machine. The principle is that if you stir it mentally for a while and then dehydrate it, it will be clean, but it is a bit uncomfortable without soap.

Before the time came, Mr. Geography came. He was introduced by Lizheng. It is said that he is very famous in the whole town.For these, Puhuang does not think it is a superstition, existence is reasonable, long-term living environment is very important, a well-designed and well-designed environment has a great impact on people's body and psychology.

Mr. Geography is surnamed Du, with a goatee, and behind him is a boy carrying a small gray satchel. Because Yuli Zheng explained in advance, he was not surprised when he saw Hong Haoan, "While it is not hot, , lead the way."

When we arrived at the marked land, Mr. Du walked around and stood in various places for a while, observing every direction, and then began to climb the mountain. Because the wheelchair could not walk the mountain road, Puhuang and him were in the same place. waiting.

Although their homestead is at the end of Dashanping, there are still a few families nearby, such as Liu Liehu's house not far away, and Chen Xiucai's and Widow Qiu's house beyond.Generally speaking, those who live in Dashanping are relatively poor, and people with foreign surnames other than Wang Hong.

"Huh, did you buy this land?" A cheerful female voice came, and when she turned her head, it was Liu Liehu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang. She was wearing a scarf around her waist and a cloth scarf on her head. , said with a smile.

"Yes, sister-in-law." Puhuang replied with a smile. In the past, if he passed by, if he met Wang, he would greet him with a nod or a smile.

"That's really good. I will be a neighbor from now on. If you need help with anything, just call out. You're welcome." Wang said, looking up at the sun. To avoid the sun?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Mr. Du has come down the mountain, so I can only do it next time." For this Wang family, Puhuang still likes it very much. Maybe it's because she is also the daughter of Orion's family.

Mr. Du came down from the mountain, and while walking, he whispered something to the boy behind him. Seeing Puhuang and Hong Haoan waiting in place without any impatience, he couldn't help but smile slightly, calmly.

"I still have to cross the river to take a look, you just wait." Mr. Du nodded to the two of them and walked along the same road.

After Mr. Du left, Pu Huang pushed the wheelchair under the shade of a tree and asked, "What kind of house do you want to build?" Here, there is no habit of surrounding the yard, and those who are able will build a patio , and in front of the house, there must be a large open space, which was knocked flat and pressed as hard as a stone. It will be used for drying grain in the future. If the person is rich, he must have paved with stone slabs or thin bricks.

There are usually vegetable fields in front of and behind the houses, or cowsheds and chicken sheds. The village has such a pattern, which is very different from the towns and counties. Firstly, the land in the county is relatively limited. There is no need to dry food, and naturally there is no need to make such a large open space in front of the door. There will be many houses, patios and yards, and there will be many corridors.

For such a building, Puhuang still feels very familiar, so she didn't think about creating any new ideas. The key is to make the place where she lives in harmony with the surrounding environment, and being different is not a good thing.

"If it's feasible, I want to build a tile-roofed house, just like the godmother and the others. The front is high and the back is low. The hall only needs to enshrine the necessary god statues. As for the kitchen, it can be opened next to the hall, or a separate room can be built. This Generally speaking, there are four front rooms and two wing rooms."

What Hong Haoan said is exactly the kind of high front and low rear, which is not as powerful as the one with low front and high rear. This is exactly the kind built by Hong Erye's house, and the two main rooms in the hall are reluctant to be divided into two. As a result, the house is not enough for people to live in, and it is tight, just for the sake of looking good.

"It will be done. I remember that there are masons in the village. Then go to the next few villages to find some people. It will take less than half a month. Where can I buy those stones and earthen bricks?" I don't know, she has to figure out the budget. She needs to invite people to eat when building a house.

And she didn't intend to build Uncle Hong's kind of formal house from front to back, it would be too easy to attract people's envy.

"The masons in the village are generally also carpenters. He is very familiar with stones, earth bricks, and house beams. Carpenter Wang is still trustworthy in the village, so please ask him for help." Hong Hao'an still has some understanding of these , "By the way, let Carpenter Wang invite as many people as you want, so it will be less troublesome."

Pu Huang nodded, he understood that generally, those who work like Carpenter Wang will have people they are familiar with or used to, but it is much better than finding people by themselves, and if there is trouble, they don’t have to do it themselves, Carpenter Wang Get it done.

"Well, I understand. I want the room to be wider. What do you think?" Pu Huang also found out that the proportions of the rooms here are not too bad. Putting a bed, a cabinet, and a table in the room is almost enough. There is not much open space left, unless it is the upper hall and main room like the Hong family uncle or the Hong family second master, it can be called spacious.

"It's better to make it wider, it doesn't feel boring." Hong Hao'an didn't object either. Generally speaking, as long as what Pu Huang said didn't deviate from common sense, he would agree.

About two quarters of an hour later, Mr. Du finally came from the other side of the river. He first asked Hong Haoan what kind of house he wanted to build and what special requirements he had. Take out a large bag of red powder and start drawing straight lines on the ground.

This piece of land is somewhat trapezoidal, not very far from the road. Of course, this one-acre homestead is obviously large. If it is normal, it must be divided into two or three pieces to sell, but the land is quite rocky. There are many, no one wants to, because there are stones under the ground, it is not easy to dig the foundation.

The red line drawn by Mr. Du is about 50 meters deeper than the horizontal line of Liu Orion's house. From above, it is about 50 meters away from Liu Orion's house on the left side of the trapezoid.

After drawing the foundation map of the house, Mr. Du drew a line about 200 meters away from the right rear of the house, indicating the pigsty and the latrine, and 50 meters away from the pigsty, there are cow sheds and sheep sheds. , while chicken coops and the like are about ten meters away in the afternoon.

This kind of layout, well, Puhuang didn't understand it very much. He thought that Mr. Du would finish the work after painting these. Unexpectedly, he divided the remaining areas in various ways, mainly for the planning of the route.

"This red line is the powder I specially prepared. If it encounters rain, it will disappear after a month. If conditions permit, dig out the foundation as soon as possible." Mr. Du clapped his hands and dropped a lot of powder. Good plan, I followed the most suitable layout, if you have any objection, please raise it."

Puhuang didn't feel much. She looked around and felt that if the house was up, the left and right would be empty. "I also asked Mr., is there any taboo for planting trees and flowers in front of and behind this house?"

Mr. Du nodded, "I'm just going to tell you that no pagoda trees or willows are planted in front of or behind the house, no trees are allowed to be higher than the roof in front of the door, and no bamboo is allowed to be planted on the left and right sides." He glanced at Hong Hao'an and added: "Variety of plants with many leaves and few flowers."

"Thank you, sir, for your suggestion." Hong Haoan thanked him with his hands clasped.

"It's nothing, I use other people's money to do things with others. Excuse me, I can see your complexion. It has been a while since your legs have been ill. I have a little understanding of your complexion. If you don't cure it, there is no possibility of healing." Mr. Du stroked Goatee said.

A look of joy flashed across Hong Haoan's face, "Can my leg be healed?"

Unlike Hong Haoan, Pu Huang frowned, "Sir, how long is the deadline?"

"I'm not sure. After two or three years, I heard that there is a master surgeon in Shanglin Prefecture. If you have the ability, you should find a time to take a look."

Pu Huang calculated the time in her mind, two or three years, then it should be too late, and the money should be enough, after thinking about it, put this aside first, she still has something to ask, "Sir, I want to make a job in the back of the house." Where is the compost pool?"

After hearing this, Mr. Du raised his head and looked into the distance, and said to the boy beside him, "Go to the pigsty and draw a straight line [-] feet long and [-] foot [-] feet wide at the place [-] steps away from the left rear."
