Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 173 Move to a new house, uninvited (2)
The woman felt something was wrong when she heard this, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Mrs. Huang didn't stop, and said gratefully: "Although she has passed away, she still thinks about her father-in-law. Before digging the foundation, her father-in-law and uncle came to help. The original plan was to help , no wages are required, and when the foundation is dug, she pays her father-in-law and uncle some hundreds of dollars! The family has no sky and no land, so they rely on their father and son to do odd jobs to earn some rice and grain. Hundreds of big money, it will take a few months!"

The other woman on the side was a sensible person, and soon heard what Huang was implying, she gave her a meaningful look and said: "This is fate! Xiaocao has suffered a lot since she was a child, and it's not easy. It's easier, it was picked up by her, I remember last year's winter, it was so cold, she and Liu Gu worked from dawn to dusk in order to earn more money, and got chilblains on their hands, which were swollen like steamed buns. Hearing her cry out, it’s a good day, I’m all here by myself, I can’t bear the hardships, I can’t just think about others!”

Mrs. Huang was stabbed face to face by this woman, her face suddenly turned a little ugly, fearing that people would see it, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be gentle, and coaxed the child away!
The woman pouted, but said nothing!
Now in the village, no one knows who this couple is. The father and brother go out to find work every day, and rush to do the tired and dirty ones. Even the sister-in-law took the opportunity to transfer money to the house, and she is still here Helping with the cooking, but they are good, either it hurts here or itches everywhere, not to mention if they don’t go out to work, and even the house is full of horizontal grass and straight grass, and they eat rice at home every day, and now they blame the sold-out sister-in-law for not caring Family affection, she doesn't help her when she sees her family suffering, but she doesn't look at what she is like, she can't straighten herself, can she blame others?

Zhang Xiaocao stood behind them and listened for a long time. Seeing that Mrs. Huang hadn't achieved her goal, she was slapped in the face instead. With a twitch of her mouth, she turned and went to another place to see their lunch!

The new house was built very quickly, and the main house was built in less than ten days!All blue bricks and black tiles, this era already has red bricks and red tiles, but she saw too many red brick and tile houses in her previous life, she prefers this blue bricks and black tiles, which is thick and simple!
The main house is where Zhang Xiaocao spends the most time. This is the place where her family of three lives. They strive for comfort. In addition to building a hollow double-layer wall, they also make the house nearly 1.5 meters higher than the average house, and use thick wooden boards. Partition the roof and make it look like an attic, so that it is more insulated in winter and not too hot in summer.

There are only three people in the family, and she didn't want each room to be too far apart, so the main house was divided into three and gathered together, with grandma's in the middle, her and Mu Hua's on the left and right, and each room can be formed independently. A small house, in addition to the innermost living room, there is also a small living room at the entrance, and a small compartment behind the living room, where you can put some temporarily unused things!
Grandma Zhang's room is more easily divided, Zhang Xiaocao's and Mu Hua's rooms each have a study room, and Zhang Xiaocao's has a small tea room!

The rooms are all covered with wooden floors, and the wooden boards are impregnated with pine oil. According to personal preferences and the layout of the room, they are also painted with different colors of paint, which can prevent insects and moisture!
The only thing that makes Zhang Xiaocao dissatisfied is that there is no glass in this era, and the house needs to be lit, except for the windows, so we can only light the lamps. Zhang Xiaocao learned from Lian Tie that there are glazed windows in this era, so he moved his mind Liuli is not as transparent as glass, but it is stronger and more permeable than paper windows. Moreover, she is not short of money now, isn't earning money just for a better life?

When Lian Tie learned that she wanted to buy colored glaze for windows, he said, "This colored glaze is very expensive, and there are no ordinary small places. If you want it, you have to send someone to the county to buy it. Besides, this thing is easy to break, so be careful. Otherwise, this broken piece is worth 50 taels of silver!"

50 two?
Zhang Xiaocao was a little bit tongue-tied when he heard that, if this was exchanged into RMB, this piece of colored glaze would cost tens of thousands of yuan.

However, no matter how expensive it is, she still has to buy it. She is not used to being blind in the house in broad daylight. It doesn't need too much, just install it in the main house!
There is no need to build an attic in the wing room, but a glazed tile is installed on the roof of each room, which will also be much brighter!

Zhang Xiaocao did some calculations. There are three rooms in the main house, each with three windows, which is nine windows, and each window needs four pieces of colored glaze, which means that the main house alone costs 36 yuan. There are eight east and west wing rooms in total. It takes eight yuan. If you do the math, you will need 200 taels just to buy colored glaze, which is more than the cost of building the entire new house!
After calculating this result, the corners of Zhang Xiaocao's eyes twitched. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to buy a house. A house is a matter of a lifetime. Naturally, he wants to live comfortably, and he can earn money even if the money is gone!
With a face full of pain, he counted out 500 taels of silver bills from the box and handed them to Qin Zhong and the three, asking them to go to the county town to buy them. After thinking about it, he told him: "Tomorrow, go to Wangjiang Tower and ask the shopkeeper Le. Which glass is better!"

Although the entire Yuanqing colored glaze is made by one family, the quality is also divided into good and bad, and there are many merchants who cooperate with them. Naturally, some people will order food from people. The higher quality ones are sold to high-ranking officials, and the poor ones are sold. For some ordinary people from wealthy families!

She didn't want to spend so much money and finally buy some inferior products with poor light transmission and fragile!
"Don't worry, girl, we will definitely get this done!"

Qin Zhong calmly took the stack of bank notes, but he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. Girl Xiaocao could safely hand over such a large sum of money to him, and let the three of them go together, so that he could feel at ease. Suddenly heavy, if you can't do what the girl ordered, you will be sorry for this trust!

Zhang Xiaocao looked at him with a smile and nodded. The reason why she felt relieved to give them such a large sum of money to go to the county seat was because she believed them. Secondly, it was her last test. If they could pass, she would Just use them with complete peace of mind, if you can't pass... you can see them clearly as soon as possible, and avoid all kinds of troubles in the future!

But what she never expected was that the next afternoon, they returned on time, and not only brought back 120 colored glazes, but also 500 taels of silver notes.

Seeing Zhang Xiaocao's surprised look, Qin Zhong quickly explained: "We went to talk to shopkeeper Le about this, and shopkeeper Le gave me a letter, asking me to take it directly to the Liuli shop opened by Le family in the city. , the shopkeeper of that shop read the letter from Shopkeeper Le, and packed us 120 pieces of colored glaze, and didn’t want any money. His family will not let him go, so we have no choice but to bring Liuli back!"
