But he said that his father bought the best courtyard house of Lao Xian'er's house, that is, the one next to the high gatehouse.

Originally, Mingwa's father wanted to buy this yard, because a few years ago, his younger brother (that is, the younger brother surnamed Ren Wa, who had not taken off his five clothes), bought the wheat field on the east side of the Gaomen Tower, and compared with the two on the west side, this yard is the closest to the wheat field. But the father of the family also wants this yard, and the price is also high. So, Mingwa's father had no choice but to buy the one in the west.

As for the one in the middle, it was Haidan's father who bought it. In this way, this high gatehouse has become the gate shared by Liu, Xing and Sun.

is also because of the purchase of the house this time, and the scramble has made Mingwa's family and Sheng'er's family unhappy. There are only three or four families surnamed Sun in this Liuwan, and no one can say clearly when and why they moved here. I only know that two of them have only taken off the five clothes, which means that they are still relatively close in kinship, this one is Ming Wa's father, nicknamed Bangwa: the other is Renwa's father, nicknamed Guo'er.

The industriousness and thrift of this country are well-known in the village, and the clothes are often patched, but they are only thoroughly washed; they are reluctant to throw a soak of feces and urine into other people's fields, and they can't hold it back, and they have to be pulled into other people's fields, and they will sigh and sigh and feel heartache for a long time. But God doesn't bless people, but it has been passed down for several generations, and when it comes to the generation of Guo'er, it is still broken, and he has not given birth to a son and a half daughter.

Guo'er's family originally lived in the kiln yard along the ditch on the east side of Nantou Lane, with two west kilns and one north kiln. Caves are the most primitive and affordable dwellings. This kiln is different from other kilns, it is made of adobe.

Roll kiln, generally have to shovel out a kiln base vertically along the soil cliff, and the foundation is tamped. Next, it is a matter of how many days it takes to pull the soil, sprinkle the water, and make the adobe. Wait until the adobe has been counted enough before you can start the kiln.

First, use adobe or adobe and bricks on the kiln foundation, according to the width of the kiln, build a rectangular kiln leg, generally have to build more than one person, but also thick enough; then, the last used for rolling the kiln is the kind of semi-arc-shaped shelf, and the earthen cliff behind is erected on the kiln leg; the adobe is supported by the last, and each layer is built, the last is moved forward one layer, and in this way, one layer at a time, the depth of the kiln is enough, and the kiln hole is rolled into an arched kiln hole.

When the kiln hole is dry, fill the kiln roof with soil, or make the kiln roof into a slope type, and tile on it, even if the work is completed, the internal wall treatment of the kiln, the front eaves wall of the kiln, and the doors and windows are left.

Wherever the kiln is rolled in this way, the difference between the ground and the street of the kiln yard is relatively small, that is, it is not much lower, and the slope in the alley from the kiln yard is also small (that is, short). Of course, there are also rolling kilns on flat ground, because rolling kilns cost much less money than building brick houses.

It is said that when Guo'er said that he was a daughter-in-law, the matchmaker told him several times, but the woman thought that his family lived in a cave. So, Guo'er's father was ruthless, bought the wheat field of Lao Xian'er's house, and moved it up from the kiln yard. Of course, this was many years ago. No matter what, the parents of this country are just this baby of the country, and if they want to say how poor they are, they will not be enough. On the bright side, when Guo'er's parents passed away, they did not leave Guo'er any other family property.

It's not a family, it's not a door. The couple in this country are also diligent and provincial, but they did not give birth to a son and a half daughter. Later, after being said to be peaceful, Bangwa's second baby, that is, Renwa, was passed over, and those who knew the root and knew each other were at ease with each other, and they didn't need to change their surnames, they still had their surnames Sun. It is said here that the succession is because the two families took off their five clothes when they arrived at Bangwa and Guo'er's generation, in fact, it was Renwa who made a baby for Guo'er.

Whether there is money in this country or not, no one in the village can say clearly. However, this kiln, like the built house, must not be lived for a long time, either the wall skin falls off, or water seeps and leaks. No, there was a heavy rain last year, followed by a period of rain, and the north kiln of the old kiln collapsed.

And guess what? There was something shiny in the kiln soil, and when you peeled it out, it turned out to be a silver dollar. The people in this village are quite simple and enlightened, so they hurriedly called Guo'er. The family carefully picked up the soil for a few days, and even carefully went through the kiln soil, and really found a lot of silver dollars. Needless to say, it should have been the ancestors who repeatedly stuffed it into the cracks of the adobe.

This incident made Guo'er's family happy, and it also spread in the village, becoming a big news near Lin'er. Because of this money, Guo'er rebuilt several houses in the wheat field, and replaced them with thick ones like rafters, purlins, and beams.

Actually, there is another reason to flip this house. After all, Renwa is Bangwa's second son, and naturally has a continuous blood relationship with her father, mother and even sisters. After Renwa came over, Guo'er and his wife were still as frugal as before. This is not a crooked thing, but Renwa's mother often nagged non-stop, saying that Guo'er and his wife were slamming the door and treating her baby badly or something.

So, Guo'er and his wife decided to rebuild a house, and the meaning is also very clear, that is, it is for Renwa's parents and sisters to see, isn't it? You say that we are not good to Renwa, but we don't eat and drink nonsense, and we don't give Renwa all the money to rebuild the house. Besides, Renwa's eyes are about to say that she is going to talk about her daughter-in-law, and the house is renovated, isn't it better?

In the spring of the second year, this son's family was going to rebuild the north building in the west courtyard of the high gate building in Nantou Lane. The house has been built for a long time, and the rafters were originally thin and thin, but it began to leak in the first two years. So, I was going to flip it over.

On this day, a few old men and wives sat in front of the word-of-mouth building at the village gate, chatting with each other. The people who came in and out of the village gate also interjected without a word. "Oh, I didn't expect that the walls of the village had been repaired and the city gates had been installed. "This is all the credit of Daddy Fanwa. "Ah, no, if it wasn't for someone else to take the lead, maybe it wouldn't be possible. ”

"Hey, the north building of Jiaxiang's house in Nantou Lane has been demolished, and it is going to be flipped, why did it stop again?" "This is not it, so old, and calling people's names." "Haha, then call Daddy, hehe. "Ah, that's right. Look at the little one calling you by your name, are you comfortable?" ”

"Dare you not hear of it? "Who are you suing with?" "Hey, Hemingwa's family." "Hehe, Wali's lawsuit is still an adult's problem. "Ah, hehe, if you don't teach to call an adult's name, you have to say an adult." I think it's because of Jiaxiang and Bangwa. ”

"Both are stubborn, one won't let the other. "Because of what?" He is in the alley of Mingwa's house. "Wasn't that how it used to be. "But the family should replace the rafters with thick ones, and the eaves should be long." "Oh, no wonder. ”

"Hey, dripping eaves, and don't occupy the nest, what's the matter?" "Haha, it's an external statement. It's all good, it's easy to say anything, but if you have an intention in your stomach, you must be looking for stubble. ”

"What did he do with the awkwardness?" "Ah, it's not like the one who fought for that yard when he was young." "Oh, I see. ”

"You can't say that, the outer eaves should be in your own base. "Oh. "You occupy someone's base, so don't you go to court." "Oh, too, no one wants to put it on anyone. "Ah, yes. ”

"Ah, no wonder the two old guys haven't been out for a while. "Hehe, you don't know this news, Jiaxiang lives in the county. "I was sad for a while, and I didn't know these things. What about living in the county?" "Hehe, it's a lawsuit. "Haha, that's a joke. "It's rich, huh, don't play, hehe." ”

"Outside, dare Bangwa will lose? "That's not necessarily, Jiaxiang doesn't take care of it, just." "What's the matter, money can make ghosts grind." "Oh, you can't say that, outside, if there is no rule, then what do you do, there must be a rule." ”

"Yes. Outside, you say that it is not certain who loses. "That's right. "What if Jiaxiang loses?" "If he loses, he can only retreat." "Stand back, dare to step back behind the eaves wall?" "Isn't that yard small?" "That's the only way, what else can he do?" "Haha. You're going to close the case. "Hehe, that's the reason. ”

"I didn't expect that Bangwa would be able to afford such a good yard. "Do you dare to think that there is no money in the Bangwa house, people don't expose their wealth, and those who dare to live in the kiln in the past are poor." "Damn, I heard that I made a windfall. If not, he can afford it?" "Hehe, that's all like this, who knows if it's true or not." "Ah, yes. ”

"Hehe, Bangwa won't talk about it, let's just talk about the country, save money for a lifetime, don't you leave it for Renwa? "Ah, if Renwa is not a baby for Guo'er, can she have this belongings? "Mother Renwa didn't say anything now. "Well, what else did she have to say? ”

A few people were chatting, when an old man wearing a melon skin hat and a round tea glass, wearing a robe, and a tie on his shoulder came from Po'er at the entrance of the village. "Oh, here comes the gentleman. "Haha, they're all sitting here, this village has changed a lot. "Ah, come and sit down. "Hey, business isn't crooked. "Just string the village, and those who are not in business are secondary. "It's a mess, and there are many accurate fortune tellers. "Ah, I'm sorry. ”

"Just gossip. Hey, look at who's going to sit on the top. "Hey, hey. "That's not it, where is there a summit now, what do people call that, hey, to the president." "Hey, that name often changes, I called the president in those years, and I don't know what to call now." ”

"Oh, ask someone to tell the fortune teller, what are you doing. Hey, listen to the gentleman. "Hehe," said the fortune teller, pinching his fingers in a matter-of-fact manner, "there is a grass on the general's head, and the two of them are standing on the stone." ”

"Hey, just say it, what's the proverb? "Haha, this is the bottom of the hexagram," the gentleman said with a smile, "By the way, you sit and turn around again." "Ah, you turn around. Don't delay your business. "Okay. The fortune teller answered and left.

"Hey, what did you say just now? What is a proverb?" "Hey, you didn't ask just now, Mr. can explain clearly." "You can't figure out what you're talking about. "Hehe, I read the book, and I know the external meaning, which means that I can't tell it. "That's not it. "Haha. ”

In this way, it was almost noon, and the old men went back separately.
