The Yun family thought that after the house was built, the family would have to buy some people, and the Yun family longed to raise more livestock at home, so that they could be self-sufficient in terms of food, and they didn't have to go out to buy them.

Just like building a house now, the grain is made from the field, and the meat, eggs, and oil are stored by the house.

The vegetables are cabbage radishes that were stored in the cellar last year, and those pickles that were pickled.

There are also soybeans from last year, and tofu is made every two days.

These vegetables were enough for the artisans to eat and drink.

To say that the Dong family opened up the wasteland last year, it made the Cai family jealous. The Yun family gave birth to a child, which made the Cai family feel that his status in the Dong family of Sanjiagou was not guaranteed.

At the end of the year, the New Year's pig was killed, and the Dong family invited the county order to be a guest with the master, which made the Cai family not even dare to have a grudge against the second room.

Now that the second room is being built with great fanfare, this makes Cai's jealousy from the bottom of his heart.

As a result, the first and most serious "civil war" broke out between Cai and Dong Changjiang, and although the two did not really quarrel, the result was that no one cared about anyone.

Cai's heart was extremely unbalanced.

In his eyes, although Dong Changhe is better than her husband, she is a sick man who does not last long.

Although the husband is only a child, he has become the head of a village, and Dong Changhe is just a steward of Zhuangzi, and her husband is more decent than Dong Changhe, a talented man.

Since last year, all this has changed, and she can't envy those places, who made her husband short-sighted!

But when did the second room accumulate so much silver, so quietly.

Cai even doubted that Dong Changhe's silver came from, was it because his father-in-law and mother-in-law gave some silver in private?

But when Cai thought about it, he felt that he had thought too much.

In the end, I can only secretly scold the two people in the second room for being treacherous!

Not to mention how long the two of them have been in a cold war.

After a month and a half, the walls of the yard and the foundations of the house were built.

The backyard has also been completely built, the family's livestock have been moved to a new place, and the original backyard buildings have been demolished.

It's the season when cherry blossoms and apricot blossoms are about to bloom, and it's also the annual Qingming Festival.

In Changhai County, the Qingming Festival is a big festival for families to worship their ancestors.

Because of the small child, the Yun family did not return to Sanjiagou this year, and the Dong family was Dong Changhe who went back to worship his ancestors alone.

Now Dong Chengze has been almost five months old, and he has turned over very quickly, although he can't sit, but he is not far from being able to sit.

And he doesn't sleep as much now as he used to, and he can't do without people around him at all.

Recently, most of the housework has been done by the Yun family herself, and Xue'er has to watch her younger brother.

So this year's ancestor worship, Xue'er did not follow back to Sanjiagou as the original owner did in previous years.

On the day of the Qingming Festival, there was a light rain, and the craftsmen also had to worship their ancestors on this day, so they did not go to work.

Dong Changhe rode back to Sanjiagou early in the morning.

First, they worshiped their ancestors in the ancestral hall, and then they went up the mountain to sweep the tombs together.

The clan concept in the north is not as deep as in the south, but the ancestors of the Dong family also lived in the south, and this clan concept has continued.

No matter what the five clothes are, no matter what the relationship between them is, only the children and grandchildren of the Dong family will worship their ancestors together and sweep the tombs together on this day.

When all the activities are over, it's time to stop lunch.

Dong Xiucai gathered a group of children and grandchildren to sit in the hall.

Dong Xiucai spoke first, "Chengyi achieved good results in the county examination held in February this year, and the government examination in April was held in Tiezhou. The father will personally take the students to Tiezhou and accompany them to the exam.

Boss, do you want to accompany Chengyi to the exam? ”

Dong Changjiang also wanted to go, but there have been a lot of things in the village recently, and he has to spring ploughing, and he also feels sorry that he will spend more money if he goes.

His wife has been arguing with him all the time, because it's not that he doesn't have much ability to build a big mansion like the second child's family!

After thinking about it, he said, "Dad, I won't go, Chengyi has his father with him, I don't worry!"

"Okay, then if Cheng Yi and the others pass the results this time, I will take the children directly to Beijing to finish the college exam, and it will take a little longer."

It's okay if you don't go like this, the second family builds a house, and you can help Changchang when you have time.

He has to go to work and build a house at the same time, and the work in the field will soon increase, and there is no one to help him, and he is really a little worried about his father!"

The eldest son's answer was expected by Dong Xiucai, and he also knew that the old family was not rich.

If he doesn't go, he can justifiably subsidize his eldest grandson, but if he goes, the cost will not be easy to subsidize.

Dong Changhe didn't squeak, he knew too well what kind of character his eldest brother was.

Since the beginning of the expansion, my father came to help when he was resting, and when his third brother came home at the end of the month, he also stopped by and asked if there was anything he could do to help.

My eldest brother didn't come to ask a word from beginning to end.

He is a careless person, if this is a brother of an ordinary family, this will only become more and more angry.

Dong Changjiang listened to his father's words, his face was hot, and his heart was extremely empty.

During this time, he had a cold war with his wife, and the two of them couldn't speak a word for a day, and he was worried that if he went to his second brother to help again, Cai's would make more trouble with him.

So he didn't go to the second room to see it once.

Afraid that Dong Changhe would say it, Dong Changjiang hurriedly responded, "Dad, I know!"

In fact, Dong Xiucai really didn't know about this matter.

The first thing in the spring is to propose marriage to the family of the dean of the young son, and he is busy with the affairs of the four sons, and February is the county exam, and the county exam is not every year, and it is only held twice every three years.

So his attention is on that.

You must know that he opened a private school in Dongjia Village, and it is his responsibility to study the children here, and how well the children do in the exam not only represents his face, but also confirms the standard of his knowledge.

And it is also related to the number of students enrolled in the private school every year, after all, there is also a private school in Qinjia Village next door.

The competition between the two private schools has been fierce for many years.

Seeing that the boss responded happily, Dong Xiucai turned to Dong Changhe, "My father thought you would have to wait a year or two to expand, but I didn't expect you to think of one out of one."

Your other three brothers have their own things to do and can't help much.

My father is not able to compensate for you, but he has some fine timber at home, and you have time to take it away.

The wood is of the best quality, and it is more than enough for furniture. ”

Dong Changhe didn't care about the wood, and said with a smile, "Dad, I don't want that wood, it's not that I dislike it, the main thing is that Chengyi is eleven years old this year, and he will get married in a few years."

Big brother is also ready, if you don't build a new house this year, you should build it in two years!

The eldest brother's family background is not as good as mine, so leave the wood to Chengyi. ”
