Chapter 701: A New Home
The people in the village who watched the excitement came to Sun's house for several days, and when they left, the craftsmen who came to repair the cave also arrived, according to the plan, Shen Long and Shao'an planned to put two stone caves next to the hole kiln where they live now, and then take a stone mouth to the old kiln, and put on a brick hat; In this way, the first-line three-hole kiln is a good place where the courtyard is full.
After Shao'an and Shen Long went to Mijia Town to see it, they discussed with great interest about asking the famous stonemasons of Mijia Town to carve two lions and squat on both sides of the gatehouse; According to the memories of the old people in the village, in the old society, only Jin Guangliang had a stone lion at the gate of his father's house.
At that time, the old man of Yuhou was working and farming at the gate of the old landlord, and now, Sun Yuhou's gate is going to have a majestic stone lion, and it is the only one in Shuangshui Village today.
In Shen Long's opinion, this architectural form is a little not in line with his aesthetics, and it is a bit too nouveau riche temperament, but this may be what Shao'an wants to achieve, and the old man Yuhou also likes it, which is enough.
In many cases, the house is not only a residential function for Chinese, but also a manifestation of their social status, and many high-end residential projects in later generations will be written in the advertising words to highlight social status and other words, can renovate such a yard in Shuangshui Village, the shock to the surrounding people is no less than buying a large villa in the provincial capital of later generations.
The Sun family has been poor for too long, although now Shao'an has become a 10,000-yuan household, and Shen Long has also become a national cadre, but if the old man Yuhou still lives in the old cave, he still can't let the villagers completely change their opinion of the Sun family; No matter what time it is, a high-end and high-grade residence is still the best choice to show the strength of the family.
Although the old man Yuhou has the pain caused by the misfortune of his eldest daughter, we can see in other aspects that there is no shock now, even his own situation is much more developed; Needless to say, there are two boys to give miles, and as for food, in addition to Junwu on the other side of Jinjiawan in the village, he may be counted as man.
A lot of grain could not be eaten, and was reluctant to sell, so it had to be sealed in a stone warehouse with mud, and the trouble was that after a while, the stored grain had to be poured out to dry, and all the coarse trees near the cave were hung with uncut corn cobs all year round; Bright yellow as gold, showing a good scenery of the solid family.
This summer, there was another bumper harvest of wheat, and he set up a bed of dumplings and called the ten students in the village to finish it in two days...... During this period of time, Sun Yuhou went to Shibijie Street to buy pork at every turn and gave it to the craftsmen who helped him make the kiln.
According to the idea of the old couple of Yuhou, their courtyard does not have to be so pompous, not to mention that Shao'an is old, it is their old two
Mouth, they are all people who are about to enter the ground, and there is no other drag in the family, why build such a good place!
But both the eldest and the youngest insisted on building this courtyard into the best place in the village, and he did not insist on opposing it later; He understands the children's feelings, the Sun family has been poor for several lifetimes, and the children are now building this courtyard for them, mostly to prove to the villagers: the Sun family is no longer the Sun family of the past!
These days, the whole family is very busy, especially his Shao'an, who is really busy! In recent days, I heard that he has to talk about what kind of "judgment" he has to talk about, and he is ready to contract the brick and tile factory in the township.
Fortunately, Shaoping has been helping to support, not only helping the kiln at home, but also helping Shao'an take care of the brick factory, and it is said that he helped persuade the township leaders to contract the township brick and tile factory.
The old man Yuhou was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Shaoping is now a member of the public family, why did he go to the provincial capital a while ago and come back, and he stayed at home for so long; It's not that he doesn't like to see Shaoping, but he is worried that things at home will affect Shaoping's work, and that unit is not good for taking such a long vacation, right?
However, Shaoping said that his job is different from the work of ordinary units, as long as he can hand in an article after a while, no one will take care of him, and he will have to wait until his new home is built before leaving.
Shen Long completed the entry procedures, and soon after returning from the provincial capital again, Lan Xiang also finished the exam, because she wanted to build a new home, she did not continue to go to Jinbo to work, but returned home to help do some things within her ability, cooking for the workers with her mother, and even helping to carry mud bags.
When it was time to fill in the college entrance examination volunteers, the whole family was a little confused except for Shen Long, and the old man Yuhou and Shao'an couldn't understand what the majors set up in the university were for, so the task of helping Lan Xiang choose a major only depended on Shen Long, who was now a member of the public family.
Shen Long chose to respect Lan Xiang's idea, and now that he and Shao An are here, Lan Xiang can freely choose the job she likes, without worrying too much about practical issues, no matter what she wants to study, they can provide Lan Xiang with a solid backing.
Like Li, Lan Xiang has a strong interest in the astrophysics major of North China University of Technology, in fact, she doesn't know what this major is studying, she just instinctively feels that this major is related to the vast starry sky in the sky, she likes the stars, and wants to study this.
Shen Long didn't object, although he knew that this profession would not provide Lan Xiang with a good economic income in the future, but as long as she liked it, there was nothing happier than working in the industry she liked.
Sometimes Shen Long has a strange thought, Lan Xiang may have gone to the wrong set, she is so curious about the universe, she really shouldn't appear in this very realistic work, maybe she should be the heroine of Liu Cixin.
Shen Long wrote a letter to Jia Bing, asking him to get some books related to the starry sky universe and send them over, so that Lan Xiang could have a little understanding of this major before entering the university.
Shen Long and Shao'an were willing to spend money, hired a lot of craftsmen, and when the university began to issue notices one after another, the new home was finally opened, a three-hole brand-new stone kiln, still wearing a brick hat, a fence outside, and a magnificent gatehouse with a color of green bricks - anyway, Shao'an has to be bricks!
This courtyard is now the most beautiful courtyard in Shuangshui Village and even in the entire Shibijie Commune, and the villagers from ten miles and eight townships came to see the excitement on the day it was built, and they opened their mouths wide to cast envious eyes.
In a sense, this is a "monument" to the Sun family, and the scenery of the Sun family is in this new courtyard.
Just when the joy of the yard had not yet begun to dissipate, another piece of good news came, and Lan Xiang's college notice arrived.
