Chapter 46: New Houses
As the banquet gradually dispersed over time, as several important guests left the main hall one after another, this housewarming banquet really came to an end. Fu Linshu held up a big belly and took away the rest of the meals to the villagers who helped with the help of the three uncles of the Zhang family, Lou Chengyi led the three brothers Zhang Dazhu to return the borrowed tables, chairs and benches with newly bought ox carts, and the two brothers Lou Hua and Zhang Heng were taking over the accounts of the gift money, and Lou Ming led several cousins to do some small work that they could.
"Grandpa, let's drink tea." Seeing that he didn't do it himself, Lou Yuzhu had to serve tea to the two elders who were resting in the main hall.
Old man Zhang, who drank a little bit of wine at noon, took it with a smile and took a sip while it was hot. A slight bitterness spreads in the mouth, and then a fragrance spreads from the tip of the tongue to the limbs, which immediately makes people feel refreshed.
Xu Se also took a sip, then poured another sip and said with a smile: "Don't say it, drinking this kind of bitter tea with only tea leaves after a meal is particularly greasy." ”
Lou Yuzhu sat next to him and joked: "Then you can drink it often, the tea is bitter when you first enter it, but the fragrance and sweetness after it is also not available in sugared tea, and drinking it often can not only clear the liver and eyes, detoxify and dispel dryness, but also prevent some minor diseases, which is better than eating some health medicines." ”
"Okay, listen to our brother Yu." Xu Se responded with a smile, and then the old man Zhang complained with disgust: "Did the old man hear it?" In the future, drink less horse urine and drink more tea! ”
Old man Zhang was also shot while lying down, and he was quite helpless to gouge his eyes at his wife: "Are you old guy too lenient?" I even have to drink some wine, really! ”
Xu Se took it upon himself to go back: "What's wrong with me?" If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't be too lazy to abolish this god! ”
"You care about something else, don't worry about drinking."
"Yo, this is a little horse urine to strengthen your guts, right? If you have the ability, I don't have to worry about it, and if you have the ability, I don't have to worry about anything! ”
The old couple was obviously arguing, but Lou Yuzhu still had a sense of déjà vu that she couldn't get in. After observing for a long time, he silently said that he should retreat.
I went to the side hall to see that the liquidation of the gift money was almost gone, and I didn't want to help, and then I went to the kitchen to see that the three uncles were busy and I couldn't intervene, so I silently withdrew through the alley and wanted to move down the tables, chairs and benches, but I was taken over by Zhang Dazhu, and I wanted to clean the yard with a broom, Lou Ming had already led several cousins to clean it for the second time. After turning around and finding that there was nothing she could do, Lou Yuzhu had to return to the main hall, but fortunately, the old couple had no quarrels.
"Grandpa," Lou Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Our house has been built, when does grandpa's own family plan to start construction?" ”
After a cup of tea, the old man Zhang, who had already woken up from drinking, smiled and bent his eyes: "If you plan to go back, you will find Li Zheng to look at the homestead." "The Zhang family's houses are all old houses a long time ago, and they live really on weekdays, but they can only live if they don't have the money to squeeze anymore, and they originally thought that it would take a few years to build a house, and they didn't want to entrust their grandson's blessings. With the money to build a house, you don't even have to rush to spend it in the next few years!
"Grandpa is planning to build around the original house, right? How many are you going to build? How's the cover? ”
When it comes to building a house, Mr. Zhang really just has an idea, but he really doesn't think much about how to build it. remembered that Lou Yuzhu had a good idea, so I really wanted to ask his opinion. "Brother Yu'er thinks how to cover it?"
Lou Yuzhu smiled calmly: "If you want me to say that grandpa's house should be built bigger, better built." Seeing that Xu Se also came to listen, he broke the calculation and said: "Grandpa thinks, the ages of several cousins are not much different, and I am afraid it will only take a few years to get married." It's all married, and the new house for the married always has to be, right? If you are in a hurry to prepare, why not build it all at once, and then the house should be raised, and a little decoration can be directly used as a new house, wouldn't it be convenient? ”
Hearing this, Xu Se smiled: "According to Brother Yu'er, then our house can't be built." ”
Thinking of Ding Xingwang, a member of the Zhang family, Lou Yuzhu also pursed her lips: "Even if you don't build it all at once, your grandfather must prepare the homestead and plan it first, so as not to be inconvenient when building other houses." ”
Old Man Zhang thought about it and nodded: "This is okay." ”
"We'll count the number of rooms we build according to demand, it's not too long, it's five years." Lou Yuzhu snapped her fingers: "It is certain that the eldest cousin and the second cousin will get married within five years, not to mention the single room in the suite, the third cousin and the fourth cousin will go to Yishan Academy to study in the spring tomorrow, and take the Xiucai exam in three years. If you want to get married, the family must not be bad, and if you live in a single room, you are afraid that you will be wronged, why do you want a suite? And grandpa and grandpa, you are old, can you build a new house without your old share? And Brother Ling, he is your only grandson, why do you have to be a little off, right? That's nine rooms, and ten more kitchens. Lou Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Ten rooms have been built, so I just built three more rooms for the three uncles to live in, can't my son live in the new house, but the old man is still crowded in the old house, isn't it?" ”
Old Man Zhang listened to it and quipped: "In the next sentence, Brother Yu'er should say that he simply pushed the reconstruction?" ”
"It would be best if Grandpa could think like this." According to his intentions, it should indeed be rebuilt, and it is not bad for the dozens of taels of silver anyway.
Xu Se smiled, took Lou Yuzhu's hand and patted it with a smile: "The account can't be calculated like this, otherwise even if you have thousands of family fortunes, you will be ruined." ”
"Then how many rooms should be built according to the meaning of grandpa and grandma?"
The two elders looked at each other, and Old Man Zhang said, "According to my meaning, build seven rooms first." ”
Seven? According to his meaning, it has shrunk by half!
Seeing that Lou Yuzhu disagreed, Old Man Zhang explained: "Your third cousin and fourth cousin's suite can be built, but you don't need to build it now, right?" If you let a few of your cousins live first, anyway, the suite can live inside and outside, and the brothers don't live inside. One of the other three rooms is for us, one for my brother, and the other for your second uncle. The vacated house is changed to a kitchen, and when the vacated house is vacated, see if you can get through, you will be given to your third uncle's family to live, your third uncle is pregnant, and it will be convenient to have confinement or something. ”
Lou Yuzhu was dumbfounded, and was convinced of Old Man Zhang's wisdom of living a careful life. "I admit that grandpa's calculation is reasonable, but this is a money-saving algorithm, grandpa, don't forget that we don't lack this money now." The accounts are all together, Lou Yuzhu doesn't know everything about the Zhang family's money, but the approximate figures are clear, and there are three hundred taels of miscellaneous tails! "The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, so I don't have to be eccentric. Besides, don't forget that this business can continue to be done next year! ”
Old Man Zhang was stunned, he seemed to subconsciously think that such a business could only be done for one year.
"If you earn money, you will spend it, and if you don't spend it, you can't make money if you stay there, but you are worried about safety, so why don't you take it out to improve the life of your family." Said and said with a smile: "My grandson knows that my grandfather wants to buy fields, but I really see that my grandfather is not in a hurry to buy too much land in recent years, and it will be ten acres to be, and I will make more money while the red shrimp business can be earned, and it will not be too late to buy more fields when there is not so much money." After all, even if they buy more land now, the three uncles don't have time to take care of it, right? ”
Seeing that Old Man Zhang began to reconsider, Lou Yuzhu smiled and stopped persuading. If you persuade them again, they will be suspected of interfering too much, so let them think for themselves.
After a short time, the field was cleared, and the Zhang family and his party were ready to go back. Lou Yuzhu knew that she couldn't stay, so she had to take a step back and ask Lou Chengyi to call the only ox cart in the village to hurry to the town, and call for two more ox carts to come, pay for the car, and add some uneaten meat, which allowed the Zhang family and his party to leave.
When the Zhang family and his party left, the house was quiet. As soon as he thought that he would be able to sleep in a new house, a new bed and a new quilt tonight, Lou Ming scratched his ears and cheeks happily, and the fatigue of a busy day was immediately swept away!
Lou Yuzhu looked at it and smiled secretly, and said, "Let's go, let's go and see where we sleep tonight." ”
The rooms of the brothers were lined up in a row, Lou Yuzhu came to the middle room, looked at Lou Hua and Lou Ming, and then pushed the door open, he prepared the furniture or something, but the cleaning and details were all prepared by Xu Se and the three uncles, and even Fu Linshu didn't let him interfere.
With a sense of novelty, Lou Yuzhu raised her feet and entered the small hall. I saw the whole bookshelf of the exquisite flower stand and the side wall and the desk with a full two meters, including the large bed, high cabinet, low cabinet and dressing table under the window in the bedroom separated by carved moon shadow next to the small hall. Entering the room, a large bed against the wall opposite has been laid with a new quilt, the pillow is also new, and then look at the double-open wardrobe has been prepared with the clothes worn in this season, turn around and look at the dressing table under the glass window, the drawers have been wiped clean and prepared a few simple hand balm, balm, etc., open a box and smell it, the smell is very fragrant and elegant, it can be seen that he understands his preferences.
"Brother Yu'er?"
Lou Hua's voice came from the door, Lou Yuzhu put down the balsam probe in his hand, and Lou Hua Lou Ming, who rushed into the door, smiled: "Big brother and second brother are done?" ”
Lou Ming smirked: "I'm done, I want to ask you if you want to go to the study after you've finished reading?" ”
"I'm done, let's go, let's go to the study."
The study room is diagonally opposite the corner, and there are bookshelves on all sides of the door, and there are three study and four treasures on the large desk in the center. Lou Hua Lou Ming liked it at a glance, and immediately sat down with his head up and tried to write. I didn't stop this time, and I didn't wake up until Fu Linshu knocked on the door with a big belly.
"I knew you guys were here." Fu Linshu stepped in with his hands on the door.
Lou Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward to help. "Why did Daddy come here? Horizontally and vertically, it's in the yard to let Dad shout, why do you want to run? ”
"It's okay, just move around a lot. What about practicing calligraphy? I'll see. Lou Ming was the closest, and he was busy beating his own offering. Fu Linshu looked at it and nodded: "Erlang's words have grown a lot better than before,"
Lou Ming, who praised Le, almost couldn't find the north, and Lou Hua sent his own: "Daddy, look at me." ”
Fu Linshu took it and nodded: "Well, Da Lang's has also grown a lot." What about Brother Yu'er? Then he put down the one who wanted to look at Lou Yuzhu.
Lou Yuzhu wanted to hide it too late, so she had to watch Fu Linshu pick up her own, and then waited anxiously to be scolded. It's not that he doesn't care, but he's really used to writing hard words, and suddenly he has to change to the soft tip of the brush, which is really a bit unessential.
"Brother Yu has also made some progress, but he still has to pay more attention." Fu Linshu put down the paper and beckoned Lou Yuzhu to come over: "Come, Brother Yu'er sit down and write a piece for me to see." ”
"You don't need it, do you? I'll just practice more when I get back. "Do you want to let it go?
"I see that your handwriting is a little weak, I'm afraid that the posture may be wrong, sit and write, I'll see what's wrong, and it's good to correct it."
Lou Yuzhu squirmed and sat down, and then was corrected from the head to the leg, and then from the leg to the fingertip holding the pen.
"Brother Yu'er holds his hand, he can't lean against the table, if his wrist is weak, he will have to tie an iron ball."
The heart collapsed, and his hand was still raised according to his words. It's just that he didn't write two words and leaned weakly on the desk.
Fu Linshu slapped his hand: "You can't lean on the table, lift it up!" Seeing that Lou Yuzhu raised his hand obediently, nodded and said: "From now on, Brother Yu'er will practice three hundred big characters every day, and you need to raise your hand and not lean on the table, Dalang, you are staring." If Brother Yu relies on it, he will be punished for writing 100 more characters! ”
Fu Linshu, who is categorical and unresistible, shows his ghost side, and the abusive landlord Zhu just wants to shout: You are cruel, you are ruthless, you are unreasonable, does your husband know?
