Chapter 456, Down the mountain to repair the house (tx20 more

As for the Xu family, Tu Wan felt that it was up to Jiaoniang, she would go back and walk if she wanted to, and she wouldn't go if she didn't want to.

Anyway, he is also a person, not so many demands.

And the daughter-in-law is the one I caught in my eyes, so I have to treat her well.

On the first day of menstruation, Xu Jiaoniang was in so much pain that she couldn't walk, and the next day was still very painful, but it was much better, but she was relatively weak, but Tu Wan stewed pheasant soup for her to eat for lunch and dinner. After three days, the pain was relieved, but it was still weak and weak, and on the seventh day, it was completely clean.

Xu Jiaoniang leaned limply on the kang, and Tu Wan brought in the breakfast.

"Why is the window still open!" Tu Wan asked.

"Breathable air!"

"Okay, hurry up and eat your breakfast!"

In the morning, it is minced meat porridge, which is thick and thick, with some side dishes, it tastes great.

These days, the clothes are all washed by Tu Wan, and some cotton is specially obtained for her.

"Tu Wan!"

"Ok?"

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

Holding the bowl, Tu Wan looked at Xu Jiaoniang, "You are my daughter-in-law, if I don't treat you well, who do I treat well?"

In the early years, with so many women, he didn't even think about marrying a daughter-in-law, just looking at Xu Jiaoniang, he wanted to marry them back home.

"..."

Xu Jiaoniang lowered her head.

But she is not Xu Jiaoniang.

It can't be said that it's not Xu Jiaoniang, or the Xu Jiaoniang that Tu Wan likes.

That silly woman, such a good man doesn't marry, but she thinks about that sour scholar in the village.

"I..." Xu Jiaoniang hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Tu Wan asked.

"After two days, the weather will be better. I'll take you down the mountain and see the doctor again!"

Xu Jiaoniang nodded.

"Jiaoniang, tell me, how about we move down the mountain?"

"Why did you move down the mountain?" Xu Jiaoniang was puzzled.

"There's nothing wrong with being in the mountains, but when I go out hunting, sometimes I may not come back for a day. I don't worry about you being at home alone. Moving to the foot of the mountain will make it easier to get in and out, and second, you will have a companion. You can go when you are bored." Uncle, what do you think?"

Xu Jiaoniang thought for a while, "Well, how much does it cost to build a house under the mountain?"

"It depends on how big Xiu is, we just need to build a small house for the two of us, no, we still have children in the future, we should be bigger, the yard should be bigger, we can grow vegetables, and it will be convenient to repair the house at that time, how much is the house repaired?" I don’t know about the money, I will choose the address at that time, and I will leave everything else to others, as long as I give it!”

It was feasible for Xu Jiaoniang to live at the foot of the mountain.

Living alone in this mountain, I am really a little scared, mainly because it is not convenient.

"How much money you need at that time, you take it yourself!"

"Okay!" Tu Wan nodded.

Since Xu Jiaoniang was willing to live at the bottom of the mountain, he thought about getting it sooner. The winter in this mountain is really cold. There are a few houses in a small yard, and the wood and stone materials are all ready, and the construction is fast.

"Jiao Niang, shall we raise pigs then?" Tu Wan asked.

"Get a pigsty and raise one!"

"Ok!"

Tu Wan likes this feeling.

Everything is discussed.

Tu Wan stayed at home with Xu Jiaoniang for another two days, and saw that she was able to get off the kang and walk around, and her body has improved a lot, but in the past few days, she has lost a little weight, and the skinny person is even worse now. Meat.

"Jiaoniang, you are at home. I will go down the mountain to find someone to fix the house. I won't be back at noon. You can get something to eat yourself. Don't worry, we have food!"

Xu Jiaoniang nodded.

Watching Tu Wan leave.

This day, the wind is blowing, it is really cold.

The road down the mountain was actually not easy, but it didn't seem to affect Tu Wan much.

See how fast he goes.

Walking halfway, Tu Wan raised his eyes to look up the mountain, and seeing Xu Jiaoniang was still at the mountain pass, he hurriedly waved to Xu Jiaoniang, signaling her to go back.

Xu Jiaoniang waved her hand in response, then called the two dogs and went home.

Tu Wanxian went to his uncle's house and told him about moving down the mountain.

"Then where do you plan to build the house?"

"At the foot of the mountain over there, there happens to be a road leading to Li Village. Horse-drawn carts and ox carts can enter the house. Although there are rocks over there, it's quite a big place to tidy up!" Tu Wan said.

The uncle smoked a cigarette and thought about it, "That's fine too, but if you want to buy land and build a house, you have to talk to the village chief and the patriarch, measure the contract and the land, and then find someone to repair the house. All three of your brothers are going to help!"

"Uncle, I plan to take it all out!"

"Don't build it yourself?" the uncle asked in surprise. "It's a lot of money. It costs at least a few taels to buy land. If you build a stone house, it will cost two or thirty taels. If we build it ourselves, your three brothers and I don't count the wages. You just take care of the food, and when the time comes to do the work, you will return it, a ten or two is enough!"

Tu Wan shook his head.

Although you can save money by repairing it yourself, you have to prepare your own meals.

He couldn't bear the fact that Jiao Niang was busy cooking for others all day.

"You child!" the uncle sighed.

But there is no way.

He also knew that Tu Wan could make money, but hunting was dangerous.

"But if you think it's good to ask someone to fix it, then ask someone to fix it, and I'll take you to the village head and the patriarch's house to talk about it!"

"it is good!"

There is an uncle leading the way, and in addition to buying land and building a house, half of the money will go into the clan, and it will be used for sacrifices and other things in the future.

Tu Wan is not from Xujia Village, but he wants to register a household registration in Xujia Village so that his children can go to school in the future.

When he was alone, he didn't care anyway, as long as he didn't die after eating this meal, but now that he had Jiao Niang, he would have children in the future, so he had to plan for Jiao Niang and the children.

In addition, the land he wanted was quite large, and it was calculated to be a full three mu, two taels to one mu, and a total of six taels of silver. In addition, it was originally a mountainous land, and the patriarch decided to allocate half an mu more to enter.

That's a really big area.

After finishing these things, he hurried to the town, and his uncle helped him get the contract and household registration. Tu Wan took the opportunity to find the person who built the house.

When the house builder heard about the courtyard that Tu Wan wanted to build, he had other things to say, that is, he asked for the courtyard to be enclosed and the courtyard walls to be built higher.

In a land of three and a half acres, the yard built is not particularly large, but according to what Tu Wan said, it should be there.

"If you look at it this way, the left side is the kitchen, the kitchen is built bigger, the back is the warehouse, where rice and grains can be stored, the middle is the main room, and the left side is used as the room. This room is also exquisite, with two parts inside and outside The inner room can be used to put a bed. Behind the main room, there is also a room to store valuables and valuables. The windows should be opened higher and smaller. There is also a room on the right side of the main room, which can be used as a guest room, or for children. It’s okay to live in, this room is bigger, and it’s okay to be separated by then!”

"On the opposite side of the kitchen, we will build two houses for guests to live in, what do you think?"

Tu Wan thought it was okay, "What about the bathing place?"

He knows that Xu Jiaoniang likes to be clean, so there must be a bathing place.

"This is easy to handle. For the convenience of carrying water and so on, it is next to the kitchen. I have fixed the gutter to ensure that the dirty water does not seep into the well. Even when washing clothes and so on, the dirty water can Go out along the ditch!"

Tu Wan thought about it carefully, and thought it was good, "How much silver is that?"

"40 taels, I'll fix everything for you, even the floor slab will be nailed out for you, and a staircase will be built in the back room to go up, and things can be placed on it and people can live on it, even the roof tiles are also selected. , The eaves are connected three times for you, what do you think of walking under the eaves when it rains?"

Tu Wan nodded, "Since you said 40 taels of silver, I also know that making money is not easy, so I won't bargain with you, but you have been doing this for a long time, and I also believe that you will not do what you promised, and you will not be able to do well when the time comes !"

He took out 20 taels of silver from his bosom, "This is 20 taels of silver, which is regarded as a deposit, and I just hope you can go to work sooner!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely build the house for you a year ago. Let alone live in the spring of the next year, you can live in it even before the new year. Everyone is a cheerful person. Among other things, the kang in the main house I'll make it for you and the kitchen, how many pots do you plan on for the stove?!"

"Three sips, bring a pot that can heat hot water, and I'll be able to add more money when the time comes!"

"It's easy to say, my surname is Xie, I don't know your last name!"

"Tu Wan!"

Without sloppy, I just introduced myself so simply.

Xie Baotou wrote the receipt, and promised to bring someone over to have a look tomorrow, and he had to choose an auspicious day for the start of construction, and he had someone in hand, so he was not afraid that it would be too late.

Now that he has been found, Tu Wan also believes that he can handle things well.

Tu Wan made an agreement here, and asked Xie Baotou to go to Xujia Village to find his uncle when the time came, so he went to look for his uncle and the others.

When he arrived, everything about the contract had already been done, and it was enough for Tu Wan to draw his fingerprints.

Tu Wan invited several people who dealt with the yamen, as well as the village head, patriarch, and uncle, to the restaurant for dinner.
