Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 17 Getting Ready to Build a House

No, no, no, absolutely not if this continues!Tong Xiaowu stretched out her hand and slapped herself on the head twice, reminding herself that she must cheer up and never be fooled by his beauty...

"Wake up, come over to have breakfast?" Feng Yuchen saw her sitting on the edge of the bed and beating his head in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, good!" She stood up and came to the table. When she saw the food on the table, she couldn't help but say, "I'll make breakfast from now on. You don't have to get up early."

"fine!"

"Well, when did you find out?" Tong Xiaowu was not referring to literacy, but her true identity.

"The first day you woke up!" He looked back at her with burning eyes, the corners of his eyes shining brightly.

"Aren't you afraid?" She looked at him, holding her heart tightly. He made her a little nervous.

He laughed and went forward to rub her hair: "I feel very good! Don't worry, I will protect you."

After finishing speaking, he sat down at the table and added a bowl of rice for her. Tong Xiaowu sat down and watched him secretly while eating. He kept holding food for her, which made her heart slowly stabilize. down.

After eating and drinking medicine, Feng Yuchen went out on crutches. He went to the home of Chief Zhao Li. Zhao Hongzhu, the eldest son of Li Chief Zhao, was a well-known craftsman. Many masons and carpenters worked under him. is aspect.

Originally, when rural people build houses, in order to save some wages, you will help me and I will help you. Although Feng Yuchen used to have a lot of helpers, but now his leg is injured, it is not good to let others do all the building. Craftsman heads can also save a lot of work.

Feng Yuchen walked into the village chief's house on crutches. The village chief's family was eating breakfast. When they saw him, they rushed out to greet him: "Yuchen? Have you had breakfast? If you haven't eaten, can you eat here?"

Chief Zhao was polite to him.

"I've eaten, Lichang, my family wants to build a house, please come over to see the plate, and then help design the shape." Feng Yuchen was not polite, and directly explained the purpose of coming.

"Building a house?" Zhao Lichang looked surprised. Feng Yuchen's wife just picked out five taels of silver from Mrs. Feng yesterday, and paid off the famine in front of everyone. Why are you building a house today?

"Yes!" Feng Yuchen didn't explain, "Could Li Chang Zhao please tell Brother Hongzhu that I'll wait for him at home."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yuchen left the village head's house.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Tong Xiaowu in the room applying rouge and gouache to his face, shaking his head while applying it: "This is not easy to use, and the color is a bit strange? This..."

Feng Yuchen walked into the room, she saw him at first glance, and immediately changed her tone: "This gouache is so good, it turns white, and this rouge, what is it made of? It smells so good, it must look good when you put it on your face ..."

Feng Yuchen did not speak, spread a piece of paper on the table, and then prepared pen and ink, she put away her cosmetics, suddenly remembered the aloe that was dug up yesterday morning, and rushed out of the room

After she saw the aloe planted in the yard, she couldn't help but look back.

It was he who helped her plant it. "Thank you, Yuchen!"

"It should!" The person inside seemed to know what she was thanking, and replied.

Not long after, Zhao Hongzhu brought two carpenters into Feng Yuchen's house, Tong Xiaowu poured hot tea for them, and the three of them sat in the room and began to draw drawings.

"Nowadays most people build three rooms. The bottom of the house is built with stones, and the top is made of green bricks. It is not only strong, but also saves money. The best layout of the three rooms is the kitchen as soon as you enter the house, and the bedrooms on the east and west sides. , so that you can order more firewood, and this window..."

Feng Yuchen sat with the three men to discuss the appearance of the house, while Tong Xiaowu stood aside, frowning tightly.

"Do you think this is okay?" Zhao Hongzhu took out a blueprint that was used by other people's homes, which is also the one that is used more in rural areas now.

"Miss, come here..."

Feng Yuchen, who had never called this title before, suddenly spoke, which startled Tong Xiaowu.

"Do you have any comments?" Feng Yuchen put the drawing in front of her.

"Just as long as you like it!" Tong Xiaowu said, although she felt uncomfortable, but if Feng Yuchen liked it, she had no objections.

"I don't feel very good, what do you say, lady?"

"Hmm!" She laughed, nodded, then picked up the pen and ink on the table, and drew on the big blank paper: "I think it should be like this..."

When she finished painting, all three craftsmen stood up.

"Sister-in-law? You... You mean to build a house on the three acres of land vertically?" Zhao Hongzhu looked at the couple in front of him in disbelief. When his father said that Feng Yuchen was going to build a house in the morning, He was very surprised.

Now this is even more unbelievable: "If this row is completely built, there will be at least a dozen houses, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure, we need to build a courtyard wall." Tong Xiaowu nodded heavily, "Also, there must be a fire wall in the middle of the house, that is, a hollow wall, the kind that can burn fire and dissipate heat. Then the kitchen must be at the back, and the front is best. It's a living room or something, just ask Yuchen for other designs..."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Feng Yuchen in front of her and asked, "What else can I do to tell Brother Hongzhu?"

"Okay!" He nodded, he looked at her deeply, and his eyes once again fell on the piece of paper Tong Xiaowu drew just now.

"This...sister-in-law, all of this will cost at least 40 taels of silver, are you sure?" Zhao Hongzhu looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, and she had never done this kind of rural design before.

Generally, it is normal for people to build three houses, and four houses are considered good. Unexpectedly, if they don’t build them, they will have to build ten houses at once?

She has been married for more than a month, right?I heard that he was still lying in bed all day, and only yesterday he took out five taels of silver from Mrs. Feng and returned it to the folks. Why did he talk so much about building so many houses today?
"I'm sure!" She can earn money once the money is gone, but she has to settle for the house in one step, because she has already made plans for the future, no matter whether she succeeds or not, she will give it a try.

But if this matter wants to start, the most important thing is to have a production base. If there is no base, how can she start a business? , how to get rich?Just relying on the luck of digging Gastrodia elata in the mountains?
In this life, people always rely on strength to last long.

"Okay, since the two of you have already decided, you should choose an auspicious day, and we will start the foundation. But you haven't prepared the materials yet? I don't know if you can make it in time?"

To build a house, the most important thing is to prepare materials early. Now there is nothing in this dilapidated yard except some firewood, so how can they start construction.
