In the afternoon of the same day, Yu Cailan and Yu Yunlai's family stood at the door to discuss where to build a house and how big to build. Yu Cailan doesn't know much about this, and he has to wait for Xiang Hui to be invited to study with him in the evening to understand the cost before it can be determined.

The evening in summer is cooler, and the villagers are used to coming out to walk around at this time, gathering in twos and threes to pass the time.

Xiang Hui came over at five o'clock, chatted with Yu Cailan and them for a while, understood their requirements, and then took a tape measure with a young man to measure in front of the yard.

This attracted a lot of villagers, gathered around to watch, Yu Cailan knew that the news that the third uncle's family was going to open a grocery store would soon spread, and in the countryside, such a big thing would definitely become a talking point in other people's mouths.

Aunt Yang, the daughter-in-law of the Yang family's tofu shop next door, chatted with Xia Jie for a while, and saw that Xia Jie was busy greeting a few women who came over to chat, while Yu Cailan stood alone and watched Xiang Hui and them busy. She walked over and talked to Yu Cailan: "Cailan, I heard Xia Jie say, you came up with the idea to open a store, and you also came up with the money?"

"Ah, that's what I mean, the third uncle is not in good health, and the third aunt is still busy with these things at home, unlike other people's families who can farm and make money, so they can find some livelihood. What if Xiaowei and Xiaoguang go to school? Where did the money come from? ”

"Cai Lan, you are so generous, you can borrow so much money. "Aunt Yang just can't figure it out, before Yu Cailan asked someone for money, she could make any trick. It's good now, and if you borrow a few thousand dollars, you can lend it out. This kid is really incomprehensible.

Yu Cailan knew that if she didn't explain this matter, someone in the village would definitely gossip about Xia Jie and them in the future, maybe it would be Xia Jie who wanted to cheat the money from her.

It just so happens that Aunt Yang likes to spread words, but it won't exaggerate or distort the facts, so it's better to use her mouth to spread the word. In this kind of environment in the countryside, people are terrible, and if they don't explain things clearly, Xia Jie and they will be pointed at the backbone. In particular, there are some people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

So Yu Cailan said to Aunt Yang: "Money is to be used, see where it is used and who it is used for." They were not willing to borrow this money, so I took the initiative to lend it to them. Who are the third uncle and third aunt, others don't know, Aunt Yang, you don't know yet? Besides, when Cai Wei and Yaguang grow up, they can also help me. A family is about helping each other. Who hasn't encountered a difficult situation? Third aunt, you know very well how they treat my Aunt Yang. What am I if I don't even help them?"

When Aunt Yang heard this, she immediately felt so moved, oops, why doesn't she have such a niece, she really envies Xia Jie at this time: several children are handsome, sensible, and good at studying, which is like the two monkeys in their own family, who are finished after graduating from junior high school. It's really more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away. can't be compared, and if she continues to compare, her heart will be sour and vinegar. Now Xia Jie has such a niece to help protect her, it's really a good fate!

Why couldn't she hear the meaning of protecting Xia Jie in Yu Cailan's words just now? She also saw that Yu Cailan was a loving and righteous girl, and she couldn't be wrong with her.

She remembered what others asked her to inquire about, so she cautiously asked Yu Cailan: "Cailan, my aunt asked you something, if you think it's inappropriate, don't be angry, others just asked me to inquire, and I didn't say what it must be." ”

"Oh, look at what you said, am I the one who loves to get angry, let alone you?" Yu Cailan knew that Aunt Yang was a good person, people respected me, and I respected people, so she was more polite to Aunt Yang.

"Then I'll tell you, someone asked me to ask about the house your parents left behind. Aunt Yang carefully looked at Yu Cailan's expression, afraid that she would not be happy, after all, it had been less than half a year since her parents died, so she asked about other people's houses, and she didn't feel very good, but the person who asked chased her several times. She owes people family favors, and it's not good to drag it out anymore.

Seeing that Yu Cailan didn't speak for a while, Aunt Yang told Yu Cailan the reason she had been thinking about for several days: "That house is beautifully built, but you see, you are now going to school in the provincial capital, even if you graduate, you won't go back to the village. If this continues, it may collapse in a few years. What a pity you say for such a nice house. So I'm just asking, do you have any thoughts of selling the house? Don't be in a hurry to reply, you think about it. ”

Aunt Yang is not wrong, the house will really collapse if there is no one for a long time. At this time, most of the houses in the countryside were civil or brick and wood structures, and even if there were places mixed with soil in the brick and wood structures, it was really not popular for a long time. And if there is no one in the yard to hoe the grass regularly, it will become a wasteland in a few months.

Yu Cailan has never thought of any particularly good way to do this, and Xia Jie took the time to clean it up before. But Xia Jie is usually busy and tired. Such an affordable person, how could Yu Cailan bear to let them be so tired all the time?

But no matter what, the house is impossible to sell. Therefore, Yu Cailan said to Aunt Yang: "Auntie, you are right. However, I can't sell this house. You help me tell someone, don't wait, if the other party wants to buy a house, ask other people. ”

Yu Cailan said resolutely, Aunt Yang knew that there was no play. Judging from Yu Cailan's current behavior, she knows that this girl should not want to change her mind.

They talked about it here, and Xiang Hui had already finished measuring it. He was a very experienced craftsman, and he had already calculated in his mind the approximate amount of money needed.

Yu Cailan saw Xiang Hui talking to her third uncle, so she said to Aunt Yang: "Aunt Yang, I'll go over and have a look first." Aunt Yang agreed, and Yu Cailan walked over.

Xiang Hui knew in his heart that although Yu Yunlai was an uncle, it was this blue girl who took the idea. Because he saw Yu Cailan coming, he said to her: "Cailan, Uncle has roughly calculated, this house needs to be built and cleaned up, three thousand should be enough." Didn't you say that you will have to take the length in the future, then build it on the west side first, keep the east side, and then I will leave a door for you on the side, so that the two sides will be connected after the extension is extended, you think this is good?"

"Three thousand, it's okay, I don't know much about this, uncle, you can do it, you can discuss this matter with the third uncle and Yafei in the future." "Xiang Hui's reputation has always been very good, so Yu Cailan doesn't care so fine, she will let Yu Yafei remember some detailed accounts, and she will let her power go when she should delegate power.
