The master mason nodded, understanding her request.

"There is one more thing that I have to discuss with you carefully." Lin Baoru said with some difficulty, "The current situation of my family is that there is only such a house, so I thought, can you build the backyard workshop when you build the front and back yards." We also have a house to live in, and when you build the back, our family will move the belongings over, and you can build the front yard ......."

The mason master looked at the layout of the yard, looked at the empty space outside the fence, pondered for a moment and said: "This is okay, the left and right are the front and back yards, and the wall of the backyard is the wall of the front yard...... Out of the way......"

Lin Baoru saw him patting his chest in response, and his heart was completely put into his stomach. To be honest, she was really worried that if she built a house, she would have to drag her family and her family to move elsewhere.

It's not that she can't afford to pay the rent, it's just that there are no spare houses in the village. And if you move to the town, you will be far from home, and you won't be able to take care of the building of a house. If Grandma Liu comes to beg for wood today, and Ming'er comes to move a few bricks, outsiders will not be tough on her for such a thing, and she can't listen to Xin'er and can't come back in time to stop her.

also said that she was stingy, since the day of the split house, she had this heart, but all the things in her house, she will do it, and others will not spill the bad door.

Especially on the Liu and Zhang sides, don't want to bully the second room at all.

Lin Baoru said in detail, and the rest of the details were changed with the help of the master mason. Subsequently, he measured the dimensions of the front and back of the house, and discussed the materials and wages.

The simple accounting skills that Wang learned from his daughter happened to be used today, and the master mason here had just quoted the price, and she had calculated the price of the bricks and wood. However, it was a very simple matter for her and Lin Baoru, but the masons and Uncle Lu were surprised again and again.

It's not that peasant women don't know how to settle accounts, but it takes time to calculate such trivial accounts.

It's like 10,000 bricks are easy to calculate, but the timber of the beams and the pillars, these prices are not consistent, and you always have to think about it for a while. Even if you go to the shop or find a bookkeeper, people have to fiddle with the abacus beads for a while.

Unexpectedly, the Wang family and Baoru in the second room of the Lin family still have this ability.

Aunt Lu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "They all say that there are some people, that is what God appreciates and eats, look at your mother, but the whole family has been created." ”

Later, after she said more in the village, many people in the village regretted that they had lost their eyes at the beginning, and they actually regarded the second room of the Lin family as a bad star.

There is even a mother-in-law who likes to show off her own after the fact, spitting and saying that they are all blessed people who can suppress evil, and look at the Lin family's second room and a few people living in that murderous house, not only did nothing happen, but also made life as good as possible. In the past, there were always a few people who were okay with the cold pot and cold stove, and they could eat hot rice and stew meat for the New Year.

Of course, the words of a few of them also made many people laugh. I knew that people were lucky stars, why didn't you older generations be nice to others? Now that the family is in a prosperous situation, you will be able to talk about it.

Of course, for Lin Baoru's family, these things are just to hear.

The mason set a day with Uncle Lu to look at the bricks and wood, and then left happily.

After sending off the mason, Uncle Lu didn't stay any longer, just said that he would go and see the wheat in the field, and left first. Only Aunt Lu was left, and she talked to Lin Baoru with the Wang family.

If you want to say that she is resting, you have to talk about the old mansion.

It was also Aunt Lu who was here, and Lin Baoru knew that now the old mansion was causing trouble again. Troublesome.

"When I came to make cotton clothes a few years ago, didn't I still worry about the second boy of your concubine's family, and I wanted to make trouble with Dongzi, the bastard in the village!"

Lin Baoru and the Wang family naturally remembered this matter clearly, and it was also because of that concern that they raised Xiao Hei. I just want that when there is anything unusual in the yard, Xiao Hei can give a movement.

But then they didn't see what they were doing, so they forgot about it.

Aunt Lu pretended to suppress her voice mysteriously, and said: "You don't know, he does have bad intentions, but he is not facing your second room!" ”

When Wang and Lin Baoru heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Even if they don't care about the gossip outside, they will be whetted by Aunt Lu at this time.

"Is it difficult, he still can't do it to us?"

Although he asked so, Lin Baoru and the Wang family both knew in their hearts that this was impossible at all.

Aunt Lu saw the two of them asking, and then smiled: "It's not for you, but it can be regarded as a sigh for your mother." ”

Then, she talked about the letter from Lin Laohan's neighbor.

Speaking of which, although the Lao Lin family is always making trouble behind closed doors, but everyone who is idle has nothing to do and can't find fun, isn't they all staring at his house?

Now who doesn't know that the entire Taoxi Village is always a joke in the old Lin family. A family can be as bad as it gets.

It's not that everyone in the village likes to fall into the well, it's really that in the past, the Liu family and the Zhang family used to support a scholar at home, and they always looked down on this and that.

There are even some people who want to marry the Lin family's big house because of the daughters to be married in the family, so they ask someone to come to the door to say. If it is an ordinary family, even if you don't look down on it, just talk to the matchmaker, and the girl's family will not climb it.

But the Liu family and the Zhang family felt that their grandson and son were amazing, not only directly belittled other people's daughters, but even chatted with others, and even talked about some other people's daughters and toads and didn't look at their own catties and taels.

If the girl's family is tougher and comes to the door to talk about reason, what Liu said to Zhang's is even more ugly.

Since then, many people have been at odds with her family.

As for those who are good friends with them, in addition to looking at Lin Laohan's face, most of them also want to get some cheapness.

But if you want to be honest with the Liu family and the Zhang family, in the final analysis, there are few people.

Therefore, after the Lin family and Dafang fell into a laughing stock, they naturally became the most popular existence in the village.

Aunt Lu didn't sell it anymore, and said with a smile: "Your mother-in-law says every day that the grandson of Dafang is her heart, liver, and blood. But now, her coffin has been stolen by the heart, liver, and flesh. Yesterday, I went to visit the door, and I happened to hear someone say that Lin Youzhi and Dongzi always went to the flower building and the gambling house, and at the beginning they were instigating his mother and his grandmother's silver. Later, he was directly coaxed in front, secretly rummaging for the silver hidden by the Liu family, and in less than half a year, not only did he lose the family's silver, but he owed a mess of debts......"

I heard from the people in the village that there were several fights in front of me. Even Lin Dachong rushed back most of the night, but he didn't know if he was beaten or embarrassed to go out, and he was only at home until now.

Wang was a little surprised, and in less than half a year, so many things had happened over there.

Earlier, she heard that her mother-in-law had a falling out with her sister-in-law, and she was either beating or scolding all day long, and she thought that it was like that at most. Later, my sister-in-law made a fake pregnancy, which made many people embarrassed, but didn't she admit her mistake and come back to live a good life.

She thought that even if the days over there were bad in the future, they would be trivial things.

Who knows, the most inconspicuous nephew can poke such a big hole.

It's not that the Wang family has the heart to inquire about those matters, it's really like Aunt Ma and Aunt Lu, who have a lot of contacts in the village, and they will mention it when they chat. So, even if she doesn't deliberately inquire, she can know a rough idea.

Lin Baoru shook her head, and said quite happily: "Fortunately, we split it early, otherwise we would have to bear the consequences of this matter in the end!" ”

As for how to bear it, there is no girl in the big house who can pay the debt, but there are several in the second room.

The Wang family, who was a little unbearable just now, heard what his daughter said, and remembered that his mother-in-law pushed her daughter for the dowry. Going into the fire pit. Naturally, she can also think of what her mother-in-law and sister-in-law will have if they are still together.

So, the worry that I was angry at disappeared in an instant.

Naturally, she didn't mention the matter over there anymore, but just changed the topic after a few words with Aunt Lu haha.

In the evening, after eating, Lin Baoru and the Wang family calculated the amount of silver needed to build a new house and build a workshop. Although I have worked with the mason before, it is only a rough idea, if the preparation is insufficient, I am afraid that the head will be big when I build a house later.

Now that the life at home is better, Lin Baoru naturally bought an oil lamp from Li Xianglang. Not to mention, if there is a light in the house at night, it feels really different. It's like seeing people who are used to lighting up, but they have encountered a power outage, and they have been suffering for a long time, and suddenly electricity comes in.

As for the ancients in the book of her previous life, she didn't think about it because she used sun-dried cow dung to illuminate it.

But the main thing is that the conditions don't allow it!

In such a big village, there is only one cow in Mr. Liu's family, and the cow dung is not enough for Mr. Liu to raise land.

Where can she pick up cow dung and dry it and light it as a lamp?

The oil lamp lit on the table showed a dim and soft light, which could not illuminate the whole room, but filled the otherwise dark space with warmth.

Lin Baoru sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang table, and calculated with the Wang family one by one: "The mason master will pay 300 yuan, and his three apprentices will need 350 yuan." Invite acquaintances from five or six villages to build a house and pay 30 yuan a day. I have two meals a day, and the rice, flour, and dry food add up to more than one or two taels of silver for two months......"

In fact, according to Wang's meaning, in addition to digging the foundation and keeping up with the beams, the rest can be done by herself with Mancang. Many families in the village build houses, and many times they do it themselves. There are very few people who really invite masonry masters and recruit village laborers.
