A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 12 House Repair 3: Pork Buns and Boiled Pork Slices
Shitou raised his sleeves and stuck his tearful eyes, "Well! From now on, Shitou will work hard to earn money for Sister and Sanba, and our life will be better in the future!"

At this time, Mu Wanniang didn't tell Shitou that their family was going to build a good house. The next day, everyone in the village knew that Mu Wanniang had borrowed money from Aunt Wang to repair the house, so they played outside for a while. The stone that came back was shocked.

"That house really needs to be repaired. I think the house is still leaking. If it's winter, I don't know if the two little ones at the bottom can stand it."

"But this Mu Wanniang has started to make money, and the Mu family broke up a few days ago, and now I don't know if they will cause trouble after they know that the house is going to be repaired here."

"You know what, Wanniang said in person, if that Mu Liu's Sapo came to the door and sent him to the official immediately, it would be very fierce. Besides, didn't they all say that they borrowed half of Wang Dafu's money? After Ha repaired the house, Mu Wanniang must have no money, so what else can Mu Liu do?"

When the Mu family really heard that Mu Wanniang was going to start repairing the house, they were eager to move for a while, and then they heard that they had borrowed money from Wang Dafu before resting their minds.

"This Wang Dafu doesn't care about his mother-in-law. The money that the child gave them as a soldier is directly given to that bastard. I don't know if he will get it back." The Muma family usually dislikes Wang Dafu the most. Mother-in-law, she looks like she doesn't want to talk to anyone, and she really thinks of herself as someone.

Mu Lao Er annoyed her the most, "If you want to talk, get out."

Mrs. Mu Ma is not afraid of Mrs. Mu Liu at ordinary times, but what she is most afraid of is the man in her house.

She curled her lips but said nothing.

Mu Shuangshuang who was sitting next to her wanted to interrupt Mu Wanniang's sour words, but when she saw her second sister-in-law being scolded, she immediately shut up.
-
For Mu Wanniang, this is about the house she just told Carpenter Tao that she wants to repair.

"At that time, I will go to the village head to get the land deed for the land next to and behind, and then build three rooms for sleeping, and a room for eating and meeting guests. The kitchen also needs to be bigger, and I plan to build A big stove and a small stove for stewing soup, and a bread kiln, oh, yes, a kang is needed for those who sleep and see guests, so that they won’t get cold when they burn it in winter.”

Mu Wanniang looked at the house design last night and saw it in the early morning, but she couldn't help it, she couldn't finish it unless she stayed up all night.

"And the latrine," she was most worried about, as the stench was really high there. "Then the septic tank will be built farther away, and I don't know how to fix it. In short, the latrine will not stink. , must also be clean."

"The vegetable field in the backyard can be expanded more, and the dry well, if possible, it is the best to revitalize it..."

Mu Wanniang brought up all her ideas, there were still many details she hadn't thought of, but after she thought about it, she just moved around the house and offered her opinions.

In addition to the few rooms she proposed, a firewood room had to be built to store sundries and a room for bathing.

With all these bits and pieces done, the house has been repaired quite a bit.

Carpenter Tao and his father have both built houses for decades, so he can naturally meet all these requirements, and the last is the question of money.

"When your place grows bigger, the workers will definitely be much more. Then you demand safety, and the materials you use must also be good. So the money must be a lot."

It stands to reason that people in the village usually spend seven to eighty taels of silver to build a house, but here, Mu Wanniang, the materials must be used well. Those beds, shelves, kitchen stoves, and what kind of bread in the house It takes a lot of thought to make kilns and the like.

"Just tell me the number."

Carpenter Tao did not raise his price, and said directly: "No matter what, it will cost 160 taels. If you are not satisfied by then, I will pay you to reduce the money."

When the two were talking, Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang were also there. Hearing this, Uncle Wang said, "Then are the workers you called here reliable?"

"Of course." From the previous conversation, Carpenter Tao also knew that this man would come to oversee the work, and he didn't mind, and said, "If you find out by then, it will be wrongly charged to me."

Hearing that Uncle Wang nodded, Aunt Wang continued, "Then what do you think of the salary?"

"It depends on whether you provide rice or not. If you don't include rice, you will get [-] Wen a day, if you do, you will pay [-] Wen a day."

Aunt Wang looked at Mu Wanniang.

"Uncle, how about this, I'm sure I'll eat meat every meal, so how about twenty yuan a day?"

Aunt Wang objected to this, "Are you sure you have meat for three meals a day?"

"That's for sure." Mu Wanniang nodded, "Auntie, this will give them more strength and more desire to repair my house." She still knows this thing that wins people's hearts.

"That's fine too." Aunt Wang agreed, it doesn't have to be all meat, as long as there is enough meat, other vegetables are fine.

After the conversation between the two sides ended happily, Carpenter Tao and Mu Wanniang discussed the details of the house and what kind of house should be built in all directions, and then hurried back to inform the other brothers to get ready to start work soon.

The next day, Carpenter Tao came over with the drawing he had asked someone to draw, "Look, we will discuss and discuss if there are any changes, and I will keep those small details in mind. You change it back."

"Okay." Since he was so straightforward, Mu Wanniang gave a happy word after seeing the picture and finding something wrong.

The carpenter potter then went back and brought a lot of people and materials and started preparing to build a house.

The two open spaces next to and behind are wasteland bought by Mu Wanniang for 15 taels after taking two ducks bought in the village yesterday.

Because the action was big enough, it attracted people from all over the village to watch.

But when he realized that the house was built with borrowed money, the jealous person stood there and left after saying a few sour words.

During the period, Mu Shuangshuang came over to say a few words, but the men who worked there were all big men, and they pretended not to hear what they heard, which made her jump up and ran back in anger.

Mu Wanniang invited Aunt Wang and Mrs. Du next door to manage the three meals a day for the workers, and they paid ten Wen a day.

The man in Mrs. Du's family has been doing business outside to make money, so the land in the family has been rented out directly, and now it just happens to be free to earn wages.

And because Mu Wanniang wanted to bring Sanwa and Shitou, she couldn't spare time.

But she still took the time to go to the county in the morning and sell a lot of pork back.

Pork stuffed buns are eaten in the morning, fried meat with various vegetables is eaten at noon, and boiled pork slices are eaten for dinner.

The workers who had eaten this day were satisfied, and even the carpenter Tao felt that the Mu family lady was too real.

In private, he said to his workers: "You have also seen that this house was supposed to be repaired before October, and now in July, it is still too late for more than two months. This master's house gives us so much delicious food every day. Yes, let's work harder, how about spending an extra hour at night, and fix the house earlier, so the host can rest assured."

This made the other workers agree, as long as there was so much meat to eat, it would be fine for them to work for two more hours.

The courtyard wall was first removed for building the house, and all the bricks and tiles were used. Mu Wanniang's original room and stove room on this side can be left untouched, and when the time comes, the house over there will be built. After the stove room was moved there, another utility room and another room were pushed up here.

There was a lot of movement here, and Sanwa, who was still young, would still be frightened at first, and Mu Wanniang ran with him in her arms, making him laugh all the time.

　There must be only a few rooms in a house, so I changed it to make it clearer
