Chapter 14 Building a House
There is also a thatched toilet must be built in the farthest place from the yard, put a big tank below, put two bluestone slabs on the tank, and then cover the top of the toilet, make a small window in the top place, and the thatched toilet will not stink, the current thatched toilet in his own home, Lin He wants to vomit every time he goes in, and there are only two planks on it, standing on it crumblingly, Lin He is afraid that it will fall down every time he goes to the toilet now, these two are very important.
Lin He told Lin Erniu her thoughts, Lin Erniu also felt good, since it was going to be built, it should be built well, after all, the house is a place where you want to live for a lifetime, and after building a little better, your children and grandchildren will live in it, and now you will spend more money, and you don't need to renovate it often in the future, and it is worth spending more money now.
After the whole family was determined, he felt that his yard was still a little smaller, and he still needed more land, so Huang asked Lin Erniu to go to the street to buy two catties of pork, bought a few snacks and brought a few catties of white noodles and went to the patriarch's house, the patriarch is the most respected person in the village, and everything in the village has to go through the patriarch, and the patriarch of Linjia Village saw Lin Erniu coming to his house, and he already had a plan in his heart.
A few days ago, Lin Erniu's family bought land, he also knew something, saying that he bought it for others, but Erniu's family didn't have any rich relatives, and when he saw his attitude today, he understood a little. Bring Erniu into the house, the patriarch's house is all blue brick and tile houses, bright and bright, people living in such a house have to be a little energetic, Lin Erniu thought that he could live in such a house soon, and his heart was really excited.
When Lin Erniu was thinking about it, he heard the cough of the patriarch, came back to his senses, almost forgot what he was going to say, handed the things in his hand to the patriarch and said, "Patriarch, I haven't come to see you for a long time, this daughter-in-law asked me to buy something to honor your old man." ”
The patriarch laughed dryly, "You kid, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this is something to ask me." ”
Erniu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Patriarch, there are some things to tell you, one is, some time ago, the second girl in the family made a few toys and was favored by the merchants in the town, bought them at a high price, and got some money, just someone in the next village wants to sell the field, I see that the price is more appropriate, so I let Ya Yu do the matter, I was going to inform you earlier, but the family who sold the field said that it was more urgent, so I got the matter done first, and I have time to come to you today." The second is that my children are all old and not suitable to live together, which is a little extra money, and I want to ask for some place to build a house in the village. ”
Lin Erniu's family did not inform the patriarch of the matter of buying the field, the patriarch was a little unhappy in his heart, originally the purchase of the field had nothing to do with the patriarch, but who is the patriarch, is the leader of this village, he thinks that no matter how big or small things should be notified to him, the patriarch is used to leadership, and naturally likes the flattery of others. But today, Lin Erniu brought something and automatically talked about this matter, and the anger in his heart dropped by more than half.
The patriarch took two puffs of dry tobacco in his hand, "Where do you want to build a house?" ”
"It's in the same place, the family needs to build a few more houses, the original land is a little less, so I want to mark the vacant land next door, not too much, that is, about the size of three or four houses, you see?"
The patriarch thought for a while and said, "If it's only the size of three or four houses, it doesn't matter, there is also an open space next to you, I'll help you go and go to the village to say hello, there must be no problem, but it's Erniu, it's not that the uncle said you, you have to inform me as soon as possible if you have anything in the future, after all, I am still in charge of the village, if there is anything, I will only know about it last, and I will not be able to explain it to the village." ”
In fact, it was the patriarch who felt that Lin Erniu's family had bought the field, but he never knew that he felt that the status of his patriarch seemed to be not so important in the eyes of others, so he beat it like this.
Lin Erniu nodded like pounding garlic and said, "Well, yes, it's true that we didn't think about it well, and we also ask the patriarch to forgive me regardless of the villain." ”
The patriarch saw that Lin Erniu had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and also for the sake of those gifts, and said with a smile on his face, "Well, then you can go home and prepare to build a house, I will assign this matter to you to handle it." ”
Lin Erniu went back with a thousand thanks. Lin Erniu thought, this matter is really not thoughtful, the patriarch is the head of a clan, there are many things that need the patriarch's help in the future, the daughter-in-law and children of the family don't know these things, and they still have to pay attention to these. Lin Erniu reflected on the road, and he was still very happy in his heart, it was good that the thing was done.
When I got home, I discussed with my family to build a house, but because this house was to be built in place, there was still a very important problem to be solved, these old houses were to be demolished, so where did I live with such a big family, so many people, and my relatives did not have such a big house to accommodate, and it was indeed not very convenient.
Huang proposed to go to her mother's house to live, his mother's house has a lot of space, can be accommodated, Lin He denied, Huang's mother's house is too far away, the family still needs help to build a house here, every day to walk around has to delay a lot of effort, this far water can't save the near fire.
In the end, Lin Erniu said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the town to talk to the eldest brother, let's go to their old house to live for a while, their house is empty and empty, their house is also close to our house, and it is more convenient for their family not to live there, so tomorrow we will also go to the town to buy things to build a house, I will go to him tomorrow." “
Lin He thought about it, this idea is really good, Lin He has seen his uncle's house, there are a few houses, and you can put some things in the yard, and it is close to home.
But Huang disagreed, and just said, "Can your sister-in-law agree?"
Lin He had never seen the uncle and sister-in-law and didn't know what her mother meant by this, so she didn't make a sound, but Lin Erniu said, "I'm going to send something to my father and mother tomorrow, and we have to tell my father and mother to build a house, if my father and mother are free, maybe I can come back to help, and by the way, I'll talk to my eldest brother and sister-in-law tomorrow." ”
Huang didn't say much, and the matter was settled for the time being.
In the evening, a large family needs to do something at home, early tomorrow morning Lin Erniu will take Dabao to the town to invite a mason, there are masons in the town who specialize in building houses, and then let them come to the house to see what they need, and then buy it specifically, tomorrow the old house will be demolished, and the things inside will be taken care of, so that they can start to build the house.
Lin He, Sanya and Huang have to do is to take care of the life of these days, I'm afraid I have to invite some people to help, there are more than a dozen people in the masons team, in this era to build a house is to pack food, more than a dozen people's meals Huang with two children is afraid that it will not be good, Zhou is definitely going to help, his own concubine is needless to say, Aunt Xu is afraid that she will also be invited, Uncle Li is making furniture over there, so let Dabao take Xiaojun to go there to start, and strive to after the house is built, If the furniture is also done together, you can move to a new house as soon as possible, and the atmosphere of the family is very high.
After having a new house, it is not cold in winter and not hot in summer, who doesn't like it, even the youngest Xiaobao said that he wanted to help, Lin He smiled and hugged him and said, "You don't want to make a mess, what can you help." "The whole family is smiling and ready to go to bed early and wake up early tomorrow.
