Chapter 121: Measuring the Foundation
Early the next morning.
Village Chief Zhang came to Huang's house with a long rope with some knots tied on the rope, saying that he wanted to measure the foundation of their family.
"Have you chosen the foundation of your house, I will go to measure your family." After Village Chief Zhang came to Huang's house, he said directly.
"Thank you to the village chief, the foundation has already been chosen, and there is a vacant lot on the right side of this house. I'll take the village chief to take a look. Huang Congjiang didn't expect Village Chief Zhang to come so early, and immediately, he immediately got up and took Village Chief Zhang to the place he had already chosen.
However, Huang Yiyun had long known that Village Chief Zhang would come to measure the foundation today, and Huang Yiyun had already woken up today, sitting at home and waiting for the village chief to come to the door.
"This is the land." Huang Congjiang pointed to the empty tunnel on the right side of his house.
This piece of land is next to the foot of the mountain, and the innermost side of the foot of the mountain is the stream, which meanders down from the top and flows down, and then goes up, it is into the mountain, but no one has built a house behind it, and the nearest one is the Liu family.
Moreover, the empty land is not small, Huang Yiyun estimated, I am afraid that there is an acre and a half in size, and I will clean it up, except for some places that cannot be built, I am afraid that there is also an acre and three points of land.
"Uncle, I have a lot of family, the house built this time is not small, my family has prepared fifty taels of silver to build a house, when the time comes, my uncle will think about how many green bricks and tiles I want to buy, and please take care of some more?" After hearing Huang Yiyun's words, Village Chief Zhang, who was about to measure, gasped slightly, the Huang family was penniless when they first settled in Qingshan Village, and the house was built with the help of his own family and the Liu family.
Now that only two years have passed, he has earned fifty taels of silver, how can this not surprise Village Chief Zhang.
Plus they still have two medicine jars at home to take medicine?
In the end, Village Chief Zhang glanced at the eldest sister of the Huang family, and his heart turned around, and he also understood.
After looking at this piece of land, Village Chief Zhang also had a plan in his heart, and said, "Half an acre of land will be built to build a house, and no one will say anything if the other land is not built, and if it is fenced, no one will say anything." You can just clean up this land. ”
"Thank you, Village Chief Zhang." Huang Congjiang also beckoned Village Chief Zhang to have breakfast, but he was politely rejected by Village Chief Zhang, saying that he still had to go to the town to catch up with work.
"Now that the foundation has been drawn down and fallen to my father's household registration, we can start picking up and weeding the stones and weeds in that foundation in the next few days.
Mother, if the house is bigger, there must be at least two dining tables in the hall, four rooms on the left and right, and a kang room with a kang burning will be built inside, and five rooms will be built on the left and right under the eaves porch outside the house.
After all, in Qingshan Village, the weather is not as cold as the old hometown, and the bed will become, as long as the quilt is covered at night, it will not be cold, and the backyard kitchen, utility room, chicken pen, and pigsty are all placed in the backyard. After the Huang family finished eating breakfast, Huang Congjiang thought about it and said.
"Well, you can do whatever you want? Big sister, what do you think? Huang Li asked after glancing at his eldest sister.
"The vacant land next to our house is more than one acre old, and our family only bought half an acre of land to build a house, and the village chief also said that half an acre of land can be built with all houses, and other vacant land can be fenced off by our family.
When the time comes, our family will fence off the vacant land, leave a vacant land in front, and we will not reclaim the vegetable field or anything in the yard, just plant some flowers and plants.
As for the backyard, we have to dig a well, with a well, whether it is for us to wash, or do housework, stir-fry and cook are convenient for our own home
We have to get a cellar or something, our grain is in the warehouse, and we won't attract rats or anything like that.
If we have a cellar, not to mention the rats, the food will be stored for a longer time, in addition, we will also open a back door in the backyard to facilitate our family to drive chickens, ducks and pigs and the like.
If our family wants to buy cows, donkeys and the like after making money in the future, it is convenient to enter through the small door in the backyard. As for the backyard, you can also circle a small place to come out, the eldest sister wants to plant some fruit trees in the backyard, or get a grape trellis in it, and enjoy the shade in the summer. Huang Yiyun thought about it and added.
"The eldest sister is thoughtful, but she has to dig a cellar, dig a well, and surround the land in such a big place, the expected money for this green brick is more than before, and the fifty taels of silver estimated by my father before, I'm afraid it will be overspent?" Huang Congjiang agreed with what Huang Yiyun said, and suddenly thought that his own money was a little insufficient, and frowned slightly.
"Dad, if our family is rich, take this opportunity to build the house we live in now, at least not a thatched roof, adobe house, if our family wants to plant greenhouses and plant other things in it this year, this house will be a little insufficient."
At that time, from time to time to go to the roof to clear the snow, afraid of collapse, and afraid of rain, adobe seepage, troublesome very much, now there are more than ten or two days to the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival when the lotus lantern is released.
When the time comes, on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, we can also buy a wave of lotus lanterns to make a wave of money, uncle, your handiwork is good, think more about weaving some good-looking lotus, when the time comes, we dye it in other colors, the weaving is good-looking, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I am not afraid that no one will come to buy the lotus lanterns woven by our family. ”
"This can be pondered by the master, but there are still more than ten days of work before the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May. How much do we weave and sell it in the county? Huang Pingcheng was also a little unsure of the number of Dao.
After all, who can't say for sure about this business, sometimes good and sometimes bad, anything is possible.
"You can only have more, not less, and the opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If there is more weaving, our family just spends some time and handwork, if there is less weaving, it is money?
On the night of the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the county sells lotus lanterns everywhere, and it is not bad for our family, more, the lotus woven by our family must be good-looking, novel, but also eye-catching, otherwise, the lotus flower of our family can not be sold. ”
In the following days, Huang Li's family, Huang Liu's family, and Huang Jiang's family took Huang Yiyun's group of children to pick up stones and weeds in their foundation.
The two Huang Congjiang brothers went up the mountain to find good trees, cut them down, and used them to build the beams of the house when the time came.
The family suddenly fell into a hurry.
