After all, the people in the village don't have any big deals, and building a house is a big expense, so naturally they can save money. If your family grits their teeth and suffers, they can save a lot of copper plates, which is more than inviting someone.

However, Lin Baoru did not agree, and she wanted to build a house as soon as possible. Second, she really didn't want to put the cart before the horse, in order to save those dollars, she delayed her work to study beauty soap and learn the craft from her eldest brother, so it was not cost-effective.

Therefore, as soon as the two began to discuss, the Wang family was properly persuaded by their daughter.

"Green bricks and tiles, 50,000 pieces are five taels of silver, 3,000 tiles cost four taels of silver, and the rest of the mortar and wood, pillars, purlins, and bluestone slabs cost two taels of silver...... Lin Baoru counted the fragmented items, and then made an integer, "If we build our yard and workshop, the wages and daily miscellaneous expenses that can be calculated alone will cost fourteen taels of silver." ”

Originally, when she bought the homestead, she didn't think about it in one step, so she thought about building a simple adobe house, and when she looked to the sky, it was only three taels of silver.

Later, when the family earned money and had a stable income, she thought that if she built a brick house, it would only be twice the cost of an adobe house.

The brick house in the front yard of the house, plus the workshop to be built in the backyard, although it is not a small amount, it should not be too much money.

But now that she really calculated, she found that she was still too young to go through anything. Many trivial expenses add up, and it really makes people feel that it is difficult to pay.

The Wang family listened to their daughters' calculations one by one, and their flesh trembled, so much silver was worth all the savings they had in their hands now. If the flowers are dry, how can the girl's dowry be prepared!

"Baoru, or our courtyard wall will be changed to stone yellow mud, I look at the courtyard wall built by other people's homes with stone and yellow mud, and it is quite stable." Wang sighed, leaned over and opened a few cloth bags containing his own silver, "Our family is full of calculations, and the fixed money of ten taels of silver you just received today is only fourteen taels of ...... from the money you used to sell soap beans and beauty soap."

If it is all spent, if there is any incident in the family, it will really be empty and 200 will not be able to come up with any money. Moreover, in a few days, she also plans to buy a new quilt, and then find a carpenter to make a few decent cabinets for her daughter to dowry......

How could Lin Baoru not understand Wang's concerns, in fact, she had thought about this before. But at first glance, that amount is very large, and it is enough to make people anxious. But if you think about it carefully, they won't be unable to deal with it.

"Mother, the yellow mud wall is indeed stable, but every time it rains, don't you have to shed a yard of muddy water? And within a few years, they all have to be repaired, which is really not cost-effective. Lin Baoru already has a scale in her heart about spending money, she knows that some money cannot be saved, and saving it will only outweigh the losses in the end.

Seeing that Wang's brows were still furrowed, she couldn't help but explain: "Cai Ru and I can clean it, and we are not afraid of getting dirty." It's just that in the future, our workshop will really produce things that are easy to sell, and there will definitely be many merchants and carriages and horses. If it is rainy weather, people come to buy goods, but see that our workshop is full of muddy water, how should you feel? ”

"After all, the things we produce in the future will only get better and better, and the status of the people we sell to will only get higher and higher. If it is unsightly at the root, then the price can be bad. ”

When Wang heard her say this, he also understood his daughter's plan. She let out a sigh and said, "Isn't my mother worried about wronging you!" ”

As soon as Lin Baoru heard this, she couldn't help but lean over, leaned on Wang's shoulder and said, "I know my mother's thoughts, but we have a long-term income now, and we are not afraid that there will be no future if the money in our hands is spent." Besides, this salary and food money are not one-time expenses, so we will not have a vacuum on hand. ”

Seeing that she was intimate with herself, Wang's heart was naturally soft, so he could only reach out and tap her head, and sneered: "You, you, there is always such a bunch of truths waiting for my mother, and my mother can't say you!" ”

Lin Baoru squinted and chuckled: "At home, I don't like to be reasonable, and when we have money in our hands in the future, my mother will have to buy me a lot of decent dowries." As she spoke, she also broke her fingers and counted them one by one, "The back of the red and green satin, the big quilts of six catties and four catties, and four big red bags." If I don't, I won't be ......."

At that time, Aunt Lu knew that the second room of the Lin family could make money, and she was very happy, patting her thigh and saying that she had to let the Wang family prepare more dowry for her daughter. When the time comes, when you get married, let the old and young in the village envy you.

Of course, as a person in the farmhouse, even if she thinks about it, she can only think of the marriage of the daughter of the Bili family. As for the dowries of those wealthy families in the town, she has never seen them, so naturally she can't say the name.

At that time, Aunt Lu said while holding her hand and sighing, which made her a little stunned. This guy, I didn't expect the ancients to be so broad-hearted, but it wasn't as subtle as she thought.

Wang touched her hair that was getting smoother and smoother, and said with a touch: "Hey, it's all up to you, and when the time comes, my mother will sew you a hijab with her own hands......"

Although she said so, she felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that her good daughter was going to marry someone else's family.

She lived a confused life in the first half of her life, but after she came to her senses, her relationship with her children, especially her own Baoru, became deeper and deeper. It can even be said that the warmth that she has not felt in the past many years has made her feel it all over the past few months.

She was reluctant to feel this way, and she was even more reluctant to be held in the palm of her hand for a few months.

Lin Baoru didn't notice Wang's choked throat, and told her about the meeting again, before sitting up again and drawing up the number she had written down.

While she used the fine blackened firewood to count on the rough wooden board full of burrs, she muttered: "When we go to the market next time, we will have to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

Wang hesitated, patted the hill that slept soundly, and said softly: "Those things are expensive, and we don't have a scholar in our family, what do you buy them for?" ”

It's better to save it, so that you can save more at home, and then add more clothes to your own Baoru.

Lin Baoru saw that her mother's mind was simply red. The naked face was exposed, and I couldn't help but feel helpless. Her mother was reluctant, just because of the cost of building a house with bricks and tiles, she felt painful, so whenever she encountered the expenses on the side, she always wanted to save some.

However, the matter of buying pen, ink, paper and inkstone has been her consideration for a long time.

"Mother, I know you're afraid of wasting money. But in the future, if we really build a workshop, then the business will not be as simple as Li Lang and the others now. Whether it is the soap beans produced in the workshop, or the beauty soap, through the channels and ways of the Liu family, the sales of the objects in our workshop will only be wider and more miscellaneous. When the time comes, we can't smear the accounts, and only rely on the Liu family's bookkeeper to settle the accounts. ”

Lin Baoru put down the small matchstick in his hand and said seriously: "Besides, Cairu and Caihe are not small, I have taught them a lot of words a few days ago according to the method I learned from the private school and the school when I used to deliver firewood." It's just that no matter how well I teach, I have to practice them to be useful...... Mother, don't say whether we want to support the scholars, just say that Cairu and Caihe Xiaoshan, as long as they know how to read, it doesn't matter whether they get married or go out to find a living in the future, they are all beneficial and harmless. ”

Wang pondered his daughter's words carefully, and after a while, he sighed, "It's my mother's shallow eyelids." You're right. ”

She didn't dare to think about it in the long run, but she just felt that she was a widow. The woman's name is not good, but if the children can be literate, they can also lift the children.

Thinking that a few small ones can be followed by this point in the future, Wang's heart will be bright and sour. The children are good, and she is naturally happy to be a mother. But when she thought of her own Baoru worrying about her family, but she was the only one who was married, Wang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Lin Baoru didn't know that her mother's mind had shifted to her relationship with Liu Shulai, so she continued to persuade: "Don't talk about the side, my mother just thinks about those literate children, which one will do hard work when they go out to work to make a living?" Therefore, no matter whether you are rich or poor, you can't let your child not know a single ......."

She chattered for a while, and then Wang held back the choking in her throat and nodded.

No matter what she says, things are already like this, and she is not in tune with her daughter, isn't she deliberately blocking her daughter's heart?

In the next few days, the wind was mild, the bright daylight showed a slight warmth, and the small thatched courtyard was now the liveliest place in the village.

In the past, I thought it was a place that was avoided by the murderous house, but it attracted many people to watch.

Not for the side, just for the green bricks transported by the ox cart, and the dozen or so laborers of the village that Uncle Lu helped Zhang Luo find.

Originally, Lin Baoru only wanted to find five or six laborers, but when she discussed with Aunt Lu, Uncle Lu, who was used to doing work on the side, said that if there were few people, I was afraid that the construction period would be long, and a new house would not be built in three or two months.

Lin Baoru didn't care, but the Wang family was a little anxious.

My daughter worked hard to earn money to build a new house, and she couldn't live in it when she was a girl. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and simply asked Uncle Lu to help find a few more offspring, so that she could live in a new house before her daughter got married.

It is also because of her plan that many people in the village are now rushing to make friends with her.

didn't bother her, just thinking about whether she could find a livelihood for her grandfather. After all, it is not easy for big guys to make multiple entries, especially the work of building a house, which is as little as two months or more than half a year, which is stable and accurate, which is better than going out to do coolies day and night.
