The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 94

Living next to Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin's family, Lin Xialai and his wife are naturally willing, not to mention that Fang Yumin said that after Xiaohua leaves the teacher, the soy sauce garden will be handed over to Xiaohua to take care of, so he is even happier.It's just that money is needed to build a house, and Lin Xialai's family is not rich.

"If your house is not built like my house, it will not cost much money." Fang Yumin motioned Xiao Ming to fetch a pen and paper, and said: "The materials for building a house are all here except lime, sand, mud and wood. As for the wages , when laying foundations and raising beams, you need to hire people to lay bricks and walls, Qiulai and Erbo, and a few more people to help. The house...well, Xiaohua has grown up, and she will marry a wife in the future. The house is built according to the layout of the two-entry house, like this, okay? Calculated in this way, it is estimated to cost 40 taels of silver."

Lin Xialai didn't make a sound after hearing this. 40 taels of silver is a lot of money for a villager.The sum of money sold for raising rabbits for a year is only a little over two taels.

He looked at Xiaohua, then at Peach Blossom, wondering how much money he could get by pawning his own dowry?Xiaohua is almost 12 years old, and in two years she will have to ask someone to marry her.As far as my humble old house is concerned, it's hard to say a good marriage.

Fang Yumin also knew that 40 taels of silver was a very large number.The annual net income of a family here is estimated to be only one to two taels of silver.

Seeing the helplessness on the faces of Lin Xialai and He Shi, Fang Yumin said again: "That's what I think. Please forgive me if I'm wrong. This enclosure is actually for my family to expand the soy sauce garden. Once this soy sauce garden is built, there will be more and more work, and we will have to hire someone to do it. The second elder brother and second sister-in-law are people we can trust, and Xiaohua learned to brew soy sauce from me, so I would like to hire two My brother helped us. Brewing soy sauce must be sun-dried and fermented. It must be stirred twice a day in the morning and evening to make the tempeh in it evenly heated. This work is relatively heavy. You also know that I am not healthy and cannot do it. We have With dozens of acres of land, Qiulai will be too busy. Even if he squeezes out time, I don’t want him to work so hard. Therefore, I want to ask my second brother to come to our soy sauce garden to help. The salary is settled on a monthly basis, 500 yuan a month .I don’t know if the second brother will help me? Uh, well, the money for the construction of the house by the second brother and the second sister-in-law will come out first from Qiulai, and then it will be deducted from the salary of the second brother every year. Do you think this is good?"

Everyone couldn't react to Fang Yumin's words, especially Lin Xialai and He Shi.Because Fang Yumin said that the money for building the house would be paid by them, and he also said that he would ask Lin Xia to come to Jiangyuan to help with a monthly salary of 500 Wen, and his salary would be used to offset the money for building the house.

Lin Qiulai didn't expect Fang Yumin to say that, he was just stunned for a moment and then realized: "Xiao Min is right, second brother, you have to help us. Otherwise, this Jiangyuan will have to hire someone."

Lin Xialai and Mrs. He glanced at each other and said, "Sister and sister, isn't the salary a little high? I just stir the sauce jar twice a day. I'm embarrassed to charge so much money."

What a sincere person!Fang Yumin sighed inwardly.

"Second brother, stirring the sauce is a normal job, but when brewing soy sauce, the soybeans are dried, steamed, mycelia are produced, etc., and the second brother also needs to help. If the sauce sells well, you need to Brew more, and I will give you processing money." Fang Yumin looked at Xiaohua, and said: "Xiaohua is still young, and he has to wait for another two years to grow up to do these heavy jobs."

Lin Xialai and He Shi looked at each other again, wanting to agree but feeling that they took advantage of each other.Instead, he was speechless.

Fang Yumin said: "I passed this craft to Xiaohua, and the soy sauce garden will be handed over to Xiaohua in the future. The second brother and the second sister-in-law are learning on the sidelines, and later hired people to come back to work. You also know how to teach them how to do it." There is no need for Xiaohua to do everything by himself."

Having said that, Fang Yumin stopped talking.Her original intention was to help them, otherwise it would be more convenient for her to manage by buying a few servants back.

Seeing that Fang Yumin stopped persuading her, Mrs. He quietly pushed Lin Xialai.Lin Xialai looked up at his son Xiaohua, then at Lin Qiulai, and after thinking about it, he said to Fang Yumin, "That's good. If you want me to do any work in the future, just let us know. Tomorrow morning, I will talk to Qiu Lai and Li Zheng's family about the land enclosure."

Fang Yumin smiled and nodded: "Okay."

The matter was settled in this way, and the two families worked together to plan the issue of building a house in this circle of land.Fang Yumin just came up with an idea, and the two brothers Lin Qiulai and Lin Xialai would do the execution.

When Li was recording with people enclosing the land, the Lin Family Village was boiling again.Everyone whispered behind their backs that the sons of Lin Daniu's family were promising, and the third son built such a beautiful big house. Only half a year later, the second son of the Lin family, Lin Xialai, was going to build another house.Judging by the area of ​​the circle, it is estimated that it is another big house and so on.

Lin Xialai's family has always kept a low profile, and rarely interacts with Lin Daniu and Zhang Cuihua.I only go to Lin Chunlai's house twice a year: one time is for Lin Daniu's birthday, and I want to kneel down to worship;Usually Zhang Cuihua seldom visits Lin Xialai's house, because Lin Xialai's family is poor and she has no money to earn money.

But now that her two sons, whom she considered worthless, built houses one after another, Zhang Cuihua's heart felt as if it had been scalded with hot oil.Ever since Lin Xialai's family became close to Lin Qiulai's family, their life has started to improve.Zhang Cuihua knew in her heart that all of this was because of Fang Xiaolian. She should have repaired the relationship with this daughter-in-law, but for some reason, she just didn't want to and disdain.This turned out to be like this... Now that the second son is going to build a house, Zhang Cuihua did not destroy it as before. She became quiet and went over to check the progress the next day.

This is the second time for Lin Qiulai to participate in arranging to build a house, and it is very handy to do it, without any of the tricky hands and duck feet when building a house for the first time.At that time, he and Fang Yumin were groping while arranging, but now they almost knew what to do at a glance.

The cladding used to build the house still uses the formula of the concrete cladding, Fang Yumin prepared it, and then asked Lin Qiulai and the others to mix the materials.A two-meter-high fence will still be built around the house, and thorns will be planted outside the fence.

One side is busy building houses, and the other side is also busy with farm work.Farmers, crops are the most important, irrigation, thinning, fertilization, weeding, etc. can not be left behind.

Lin Qiulai and Lin Xialai's family are so busy that they don't even have time to take a breather.

When the leaves started to turn yellow and red, Lin Xialai's house and Fang Yumin's sauce garden were built.The house was originally designed as a two-entry house. Once you enter the door, you will find a large yard, and a vegetable garden will be cultivated in the yard.

Fang Yumin's soy sauce garden and Lin Xialai's backyard are separated by two meters, and there is a thick wooden door facing each other.In the future, when Lin Xialai and Xiaohua entered the soy sauce garden, they would only be able to enter after opening the door, which would allow them to divide the real estate rights of each family.

The soy sauce garden is relatively simple, but the most important thing is to have a large drying area.As soon as you enter the door, you will see the large drying yard in the middle, and the walls on both sides are directly the rooms.One side is for the workers in the soy sauce garden in the future, and the other side is a special room for soybean fermentation. There is an extra-large stove for cooking beans and making sauce, all of which are made by Fang Yumin after careful consideration and special request. .The only wall without a house on one side is built with three floors in a stepped manner. These are used to store the sauce jars that have been brewed for one year, and they are placed from top to bottom according to the year.

When moving into a new house, as a rule, Li Zheng, relatives and friends should be invited to a banquet in the new house.After discussing with Fang Yumin, Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin decided that Lin Xialai's family would come forward and hold a banquet for their sauce garden to celebrate.

The soy sauce garden was just completed, and good news came from the shopkeeper Jin.It is said that there is a house with two yards at the front and back in the best area in Nantou County, which is for sale. As soon as he got the news, he immediately sent someone over to let Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin go and have a look. After all, there are many people who want to buy a house there.

As soon as Fang Yumin heard this, she immediately asked Lin Qiu to prepare the ox cart. She also went into the house, changed her clothes, took the bank notes, and followed the visitors to Nantou County.

In the past few months, she and Lin Qiu have visited several houses. Either the location is inappropriate, or the house is a bit old, or the layout and seating orientation are not good.Because Xiaoming and Xiaoyang need to study quietly and they will live for a long time, Fang Yumin waited patiently.

The treasurer Jin was waiting with the dental care provider, and when he saw Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin came to exchange greetings, he immediately took them into his carriage to see the house.

The eastern district of Nantou County is much cleaner and quieter than the western district, and almost all the people living here are from relatively affluent families.Fang Yumin wanted to buy a house here from the beginning. Firstly, it was a safety issue. Second, the children had grown up. They would make friends when they entered the school, and when they entered the school here, they would make friends. Friends will be the kids in the area.Don't say that Fang Yumin is sharp, that's the reality, because she just wants Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang to pursue official careers.

The house is at the end of an alley. Although it is an alley, it is more than three meters wide, and the road is paved with bluestone slabs.Even driving in a carriage is not a problem at all.

The carriage stopped in front of the house, and Fang Yumin looked at the surrounding environment as soon as he got off.It was around two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the alley was deserted and very quiet, and the cicadas on the trees in the courtyards of each house were calling one after another.

The dental worker took out the key and opened the door and said, "Come in and have a look. Although the house is old, it is well maintained."

It was also the first time shopkeeper Jin had seen it, and he nodded with satisfaction as soon as he entered the door to have a look.Fang Yumin let go of Lin Qiulai's hand, and looked around. This house is quite big, and as soon as you enter the door, there is a small yard. There is a persimmon tree in the yard, and a well under the tree.A stone path about one meter wide connects the gate to the main entrance of the house. On both sides of the stone path are flower gardens, where the flowers are in full bloom and are very beautiful.

The kitchen is on the left, the stable is on the right, and there is a side room where some tools are placed, such as flower hoe, shaukei and so on.The layout of the house is somewhat similar to that of Fang Yumin's house, although it is a bit old, but whether it is the gate or the window sill, the pattern decoration on it is beautiful and delicate.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will find a small courtyard, still planted with flowers and plants, follow the path and cross the threshold to the living room.There are three sets of mahogany tables and chairs in the living room, the style is very grand.Walking through the living room to the back, there is another small garden with a small fish tank built in the middle.There is a room on the left side of the garden, which should be a dining room.

Going further inside is the bedroom, with a small side hall in the middle, surrounded by the small side hall and separated by the corridor are the bedrooms and study.Among them, the one on the left has the largest area and is the master bedroom.

On the right side of the wall are the rooms, where the servants lived.The latrine is built at the back of the house.Fang Yumin looked at it from a distance, and although it was tasteless (because the head of the household had moved away and no one lived in it), it was also very shabby. If I bought this house, it would have to be rebuilt.

Overall, this house is really nice, with nice green surroundings and a lot of space.Fang Yumin was very satisfied, she turned to look at Lin Qiulai: "What do you think?"

Lin Qiulai took a breath and said, "Very beautiful."

Shopkeeper Jin also said: "The location is good. Although the house is a bit old, the layout is pretty good."

"Yes." Fang Yumin chuckled, and asked the dental insurance: "How much is the price of this house?"

Yabao smiled and said, "150 taels of silver. If the head of the household didn't rush to move to the capital, the house would cost 180 taels anyway."

Fang Yumin also knew about the real estate in Nantou County. 150 taels is indeed not high in the eastern district, but this house is a bit old.She couldn't help but look at Shopkeeper Jin, who understood, and said to the dental insurance: "This house has been around for more than ten or twenty years, right? Let's do it like this, 20 taels of silver is all covered, how about it?"

"This..." Yabao hesitated a little, and the price proposed by the treasurer Jin was just a little above his bottom line.Although the house is a bit old, but the location is good, and Fang Yumin and the others are the first guests to see this house, it is inevitable that other guests will ask for a higher price.Tooth insurance does not want to let go of the next opportunity.

The treasurer Jin continued to seduce: "You know the value of this house best, and the extra silver will be yours. If you sell it at another price, the silver you get will only be paid to you by the head of the household in proportion, and it may be paid by you." Not as much silver as this. What do you think?"

When Yabao thought about it, both eyes lit up.But he looked at the shopkeeper Jin, hesitant to speak.Shopkeeper Jin understood, he laughed and said: "We are mutually beneficial, as long as you know me and know each other well."

Fang Yumin had already reacted, and she stepped up: "We still need to buy a two-story bunk. If we can cooperate happily, it is best to entrust the search for a bunk to an acquaintance."

Yabao would hesitate when he heard this, and immediately arranged for a contract to sign a contract and make a deal.

Fang Yumin and Lin Qiulai were very happy to get the fresh and hot house deed.Shopkeeper Jin helped a lot, and Fang Yumin readily agreed to give him a recipe.But in his heart, he calculated how much benefit this recipe could bring them.

After the matter was done, it was getting late.Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin came out relatively late this time, and it would be better to stay in the county overnight at this time and go back tomorrow morning, but they were worried about the two children at home, so they finally decided to rush home.

Everything was according to Fang Yumin's plan and went smoothly.The only fly in the ointment is that Fang Yumin's stomach still hasn't moved. It would be a lie to say that she is not disappointed, but there is no rush.I can only make persistent efforts to adjust and supplement, and look forward to winning the bid next time.
