Chapter 244: A New Home, Two in One
"No, I don't, I won't," Zhao Xia pulled Yuan's sleeve, her eyes widened, and she begged Yuan, "Mother, I want that, I want ......."
"Yes, what do you want, you can't do it," Yuan ignored Zhao Xia's pleading, frowned and continued to move forward.
As for Zhao Xia, seeing that her mother ignored her, she didn't let go, and she wanted to buy it one by one.
Zhao Shanchuan on the side saw it, and couldn't help but say, "Or buy it," Zuo is just a puppet, and it is not expensive.
It turned out that what Zhao Xia liked was actually the puppet sold in the store before.
It's just that now they have come far away, not to mention, just the clothes sold in that shop are expensive, Yuan Shi frowned coldly, "What to buy, a puppet costs a hundred and ten silver, but it can't be done." ”
Although she couldn't say it in her mouth, Zhao Xia didn't do it.
Zhao Xia was still crying, so much so that the pedestrians around couldn't help but look at them.
The Yuan family had no choice but to be seen, and if he wanted to discipline Zhao Xia, he couldn't spare his hands in the public.
Zhao Xia also understood this reason, so she dared to make a fuss in front of Yuan's face.
Who made her young, and she suffered hardships along the way to escape, and her family let her, and Zhao Xia formed a bad habit because of this.
Yuan frowned, and finally thought about it, but he still couldn't agree to buy a puppet for Zhao Xia.
However, you can't buy a fake one, but you can buy a real one.
In this way, the Yuan family coaxed Zhao Xia away and directly bought a real cat cub.
didn't spend much money, and in the end, not only did he buy a cat for Zhao Xia, but in order to avoid favoritism, he also bought a dog for Zhao Mingteng by the way.
As for Zhao Yu, he is old and doesn't have much interest in cats and dogs.
There are livestock sellers on the side, looking at those big white geese are good, I directly bought three and went back to plan to make a stewed goose in an iron pot to treat myself when I am free.
…………
The family was noisy and walked directly around the city until noon.
I didn't plan to go home to eat, but stayed in the city directly, found a good restaurant, ordered a few meals, and finished eating.
After determining that there was nothing to buy again, Zhao Shanchuan drove the ox cart and pulled Yuan and the others back home happily.
Because the ox carts were loaded with things bought from the bazaar, such as cloth, fruits, fruit trees, pork, and so on.
Especially the bundle of fruit trees, which had been vacant for too long, looked half-dead, and could not be left for a long time.
So after returning home, Zhao Shanlin was not idle, and after taking down all the things on the ox cart, he greeted the Yuan family, and then he hurriedly took the bundle of fruit trees to his homestead.
He had no choice but to plant these fruit trees as soon as possible to recover the loss.
As for his family's homestead, as early as after Yu Dehai reported his complete information to the county government, the county government sent down a construction team and began to officially start construction.
Of course, there were several construction teams sent by the county government.
Therefore, after Zhao Shanchuan confirmed it again, he chose one of them and handed over his house to the other party to build.
Because of Yu Dehai's words before, Zhao Shanchuan also understood what it meant to hand over full power to the construction team.
After the formal contact, including the blue bricks, stone tiles, and plasters used to build the house, Zhao Shanchuan handed over the responsibility of the construction team, and he only needed to go over every morning and evening to check it.
Right now, the construction team has been working on the homestead for several days.
These days, Zhao Shanchuan runs around almost every day.
According to the progress, the foundation of the house has been laid, and the construction team is busy building the fence of the homestead and the buildings above.
Because the specific shape and structure of the house have been discussed, Zhao Shanchuan also needs to dig a well in his yard and lay a layer of gravel along the side, so after the overall calculation, in order to ensure that the budget is sufficient, he also needs to make up an additional four taels of silver on the basis of the original twenty taels.
But that's not a problem.
Every day, I can see that my house is getting better and better, and it is getting better and better, and Zhao Shanchuan is very beautiful.
Right now, holding a bundle of fruit trees in his arms, Zhao Shanchuan smiled on his face and walked quickly towards his homestead.
When he arrived, the people of the construction team were digging a well near the corner.
Not to mention, because the whole meadow village is next to the river, the wells here are very easy to drill.
It doesn't take much depth to get out of the water, and the water is clear and translucent, sweet and delicious, and it tastes tight.
The person in charge of the construction team is surnamed Jia and his name is Jia Tianzhu.
At this moment, he was staring at the well, and when he heard movement behind him, he hurriedly looked back, and saw Zhao Shanchuan coming.
Without thinking about it, he let the person next to him continue to star, and he himself hurriedly took two steps towards the door, greeted him with a smile, and welcomed the person in, "Brother Zhao is here." ”
He also felt a little strange in his heart, and said in his heart that this man had not yet arrived today, but he had come early.
Zhao Shanchuan smiled and quickly moved his arm, "Brother Jia, I didn't just come back from the city,"
"I bought some fruit trees by the way, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive for a long time, so I thought about holding them over and planting them as soon as possible, "After all, the temporary residence is all village land, and from the first day they moved in, Yu Dehai emphasized that not a single grass or tree over there can be moved at will."
Zhao Shanchuan is not a bold person, and it is not easy to plant fruit trees there, so after thinking about it, he can only move them to the homestead, after all, this is his family's land, and it can be done no matter how he gets it.
After listening to Zhao Shanchuan's words, Jia Tianzhu noticed the bundle of fruit trees that the other party was holding.
Yo, quite a lot!
Jia Tianzhu stretched out his hand, quickly took it, and said by the way, "Hey, it's all trivial, Brother Zhao can plant wherever he wants,"
"It's just right, now that you're here, the water is coming out of the well, you can take advantage of the opportunity to plan the yard,"
"Like a cellar, a vegetable garden, a chicken rack, a pigsty, a cowshed, ......"
"When we're done, we can help you mend them, and when the time comes, these fruit trees can be planted."
What Jia Tianzhu just mentioned was the plan that Zhao Shanchuan told him early in the morning.
Zhao Shanchuan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he waved his hand again and again, "Then where to make it, I can grow it myself,"
Jia Tianzhu directly said "hey" and smiled quite boldly, "Why can't you do it?"
"Besides, the house hasn't been built yet, and now it's just a matter of digging a hole, and it hasn't taken much time."
As they spoke, Jia Tianzhu and the others had already come to the well.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jia Tianzhu beckoned the team members who were sitting on the ground to come over, and asked him to take the pry draft in his hand and plant all the fruit trees.
Seeing this, Zhao Shanchuan was not hypocritical, and said in his heart that it was a big deal to stew an extra pot of bone broth for everyone at noon tomorrow, anyway, they went to Qingping County today and bought a lot of meat ribs and came back.
"Brother Jia, these fruit trees will be planted along the corners of the wall, and when the time comes, I will transplant them if I can live, if it doesn't work, then forget it," these fruit trees are also what Zhao Yu wants to buy, otherwise, they won't buy any fruit trees at all.
Jia Tianzhu nodded, beckoning the others to hurry up and dig a pit and plant trees in the corner of the wall.
The construction team had a large number of people, and they worked very hard, and soon, dozens of pits were dug along the perimeter of the wall, and the well was just when the water came, and the trees were planted and watered, and the building was carried out in one go, and the house was continued to be built after all was finished.
Zhao Shanchuan wiped the sweat from his head, and was taken to the center of the courtyard by Jia Tianzhu.
Raising his head and looking at his own house in front of him, which was already half smaller, and was about to build a beam, Zhao Shanchuan was quite agitated in his heart, and his tone was rarely happy, "I really hope that it will be built soon, and our family will move in before the end of the rainy season." ”
Temporary housing is good, but the house is too simple to build, and if there is a little more rain, it will be easy to leak.
Especially in the past few days, there has been a light rain almost every night, and the temperature in the air has also dropped, which makes Zhao Shanchuan and Yuan a little nervous, especially Yuan, who has been talking about the new house a lot recently.
"Don't worry, it's time, this house can be built in twenty days at most," Jia Tianzhu, who has built so many houses, assured Zhao Shanchuan.
"By the way, wait a few days, Brother Zhao, you can go to the county seat again, not to mention anything else, first order a batch of furniture needed for the house back, and wait for us to set up a kang here, smoke it with wood, and then we can live in it."
"Cheng, Brother Jia, don't worry, I'll go in a few days about this matter,"
"By the way, what is still missing from the house at the moment, you tell me, I'll order it back when I get it," Zhao Shanchuan, who got the letter of completion of the house, waved his hand proudly, saying that as long as the house can be built as soon as possible, everything else is easy to say.
When Jia Tianzhu heard this, he touched his chin and pondered for a while, and sure enough, he said some green bricks, plaster, etc., "By the way, if you can, you can buy more plaster, with the stones by the river, and you can also re-pave the ground in the house,"
"When I built houses for people in the city, they all repaired them like this,"
"Not to mention, although the price is a little more expensive, it is really convenient when it rains a lot, no matter how heavy the rain is, the house will not be wet and muddy, and it will not overflow."
After all, this is the south side, and there is a lot of rain every year, so it is not normal to not send water twice a year.
Regarding Jia Tianzhu's proposal, Zhao Shanchuan pondered for a while, did not refuse, nodded and agreed that he would buy it back together when the time came.
Jia Tianzhu was very happy to hear this, and patted his chest to Zhao Shanchuan to assure him that there was no problem on his side, and when they moved in, the house would be bright and clean.
Zhao Shanchuan was also very satisfied when he heard it, he had enough of living in a low and dark mud room, who doesn't like a spacious and bright brick house.
"Brother Jia, you don't need to rush the construction period, it's all house-based," Afraid that Jia Tianzhu would fool himself in a hurry, Zhao Shanchuan reminded the other party uneasily.
Hearing this, Jia Tianzhu was not unhappy, but nodded.
After all, it is a salary calculated on a daily basis, and Zhao Shanchuan is strict, so if they do one more day's work, they can earn one more day's wages.
You must know that although their construction team is recorded in the name of the county government, they still have their own small family to support.
When he met a patron like Zhao Shanchuan who was perfect and easy to speak, Jia Tianzhu was also happy.
This time, Zhao Shanchuan came over, and the two sides talked through and were very satisfied with each other.
…………
Soon, time passed slowly.
During this time, the people who stayed in Meadow Village also got on the right track of life.
Some are busy planting fields and planting seedlings, some are looking for someone to build a house by themselves, and some are like Zhao Shanchuan who gave full authority to the construction team to build a house.
The whole meadow village, everywhere you go, is full of life.
Masonry, beaming, paving......
The matters related to the construction of the house are carried out in an orderly manner, and Zhao Shanchuan still comes to check on time every morning and evening, and sometimes, he will also help move the bricks, but more often, he arranges the construction of the house by himself.
Soon, time flew by, and it was June and July.
On July 12, with the efforts of both the construction team and Zhao Shanchuan, Zhao Shanchuan's house was finally built.
On the evening of July 11, everyone, including Yuan, was extremely excited.
After eating in the evening, they began to pack up their belongings, including some things that could and could not be used, wrapped in straw mats or discarded fabrics.
Although before that, they had already used ox carts to move a lot of large items into the house.
But there are a lot of small things left, bits and pieces, almost a cart full.
As a last resort, Yuan and Zhao Shanchuan took advantage of the darkness and hurriedly sent them over again.
I didn't care about repairing it, so I simply put it in the house and locked the courtyard door to go home.
Because they moved to a new house the next day, the family didn't sleep well at night.
The next day, it was still dawn.
Hearing the roosters in the village, Yuan immediately opened his eyes and got dressed to make breakfast.
Zhao Shanchuan also got up to set up an ox cart, and Zhao Yu's three children also knew that today was the day to move to a new house, so they didn't lie in bed, so they got up honestly and washed.
After sitting together and eating breakfast, the five of them couldn't wait to get into the ox cart that had been set up at the door.
Zhao Shanchuan turned his head and asked Yuan, "But what else do you want to take?" ”
Yuan Shi glanced at the things on the ox cart, and made sure that he didn't leave anything behind, before he shook his head, "Bring it all." ”
"That's it," Zhao Shanchuan nodded, took out the lock and locked the temporary residence, and drove away neatly.
Recently, families have been busy moving to new homes, so there are not many people left who are still living in temporary housing.
They've moved out now, and in a sense, it's a relief.
Walking along the avenue, the ox cart soon came to a courtyard full of blue brick houses.
Zhao Shanchuan "shouted" and stopped the ox cart under him, "Quick, let's get home." ”
Yuan got down from the ox cart with a smile, used the copper lock in his hand, pushed open the gate, and at the same time showed the appearance of the courtyard to everyone.
This is the first time Zhao Yu has seen his new home in a real sense.
The shock in my heart can be imagined.
The tall courtyard wall rises from the ground, and it is covered with beautiful and spacious blue brick houses, surrounded by a row of scattered side houses, the ground is paved with stone paths, and the courtyard is lined with vegetable gardens, chicken racks, pigsties, cowsheds, and fruit trees with new green shoots in the corners.
At this moment, the heart that was originally restless settled down.
Grinning excitedly, Zhao Yu covered his mouth and chuckled.
She looked up and looked at the amazed Yuan family in the courtyard and Zhao Shanchuan who was holding hands and looking proud, and the voice in her heart told her that this was their home.
It's good that they have a home!
