45. Small courtyard planning
Mo Xin lay on the bed like a salted fish for two days before she came back to life, although she was originally a salted fish......
After rejuvenating, Mo Xin remembered that he was going to renovate the small courtyard, and hurriedly asked Fang Qiyan for rice paper, took a charcoal-fired willow branch, and drew a picture on the rice paper.
She is an art student who has studied painting for a few years. With willow branches, you no longer need to use unaccustomed brushes, and you can draw pictures more easily.
Pulling Fang Qiyan to draw in the room for two days, he finally got the drawings done. The small courtyard on the drawing has tripled in size, and the house is not just three, but a full eight.
The courtyard has also been changed to a front-back partition pattern, and the front yard gate leads to a hall for receiving and eating, a guest room on the left that is also used as a room for storing things, and a kitchen and firewood room on the right.
In the middle of the backyard, Mo Xin plans to transplant the peach tree to the past, the same piece of land, it is not a problem to just change the location, but it is a pity that the flowers on the tree that have not completely withered will be destroyed. On the right side is the bedroom of the two, the two rooms connected together on the left are the warehouse and the bath room, the right is the study, and there is a small kitchen dedicated to boiling water, connected to Mo Xin's specially designed flushing thatched house...... And the warehouse can be converted into a children's room in the future, of course, these will be talked about later......
But when planning, Mo Xin unconsciously planned the children's room. When Fang Qiyan heard her say that if she had a child in the future, she could change it into a children's room, her eyes moved slightly, and she looked at her careful planning, becoming more and more spoiled and soft.
As for the floor of the yard, Mo Xin decided to pave all the green bricks, and the peach tree gave it a flower garden, the roots of which grew deep in the ground, which would not affect the laying of floor tiles. Because of the first few rains, Mo Xin walked down on the dirt ground, and the whole person was not good...... Not to mention that shoes are easy to get dirty, and the floor of the house often has some dirt and dust, so she remembers it well.
After finalizing it, Fang Qiyan went to the village chief the next day and asked the village chief to help him gather some good people in the village to build a new yard. Because he did not pay for food, he was given thirty-five copper plates a day. The people in the village were very happy to come and help, and it was just after the busy farming season for sowing, and many people in the village were free. What's more, there are thirty-five copper plates to take, which is more than to go to the town to work.
When the villagers heard that Fang Qiyan wanted to build a new house, they all laughed at him and made a fortune after marrying his daughter-in-law.
He was noncommittal, and only explained lightly that if you have a daughter-in-law, you naturally have to work hard to earn money to support your family. Fortunately, luck was also good, and a few paintings of Danqing were appreciated by nobles and sold for some silver taels.
The people in the village knew that he was a showman, and he also went to the town to sell paintings when he was a teenager, and they never doubted the truth of the matter, and they all laughed at him for his luck after marrying his daughter-in-law.
Then the renovation of the small courtyard officially began. According to Mo Xin's plan, the house they live in now happens to be the front yard, so they built it from the back yard so that they can continue to live there, and when the back bedroom is built, they move over and push the thatched house to build the front yard.
The houses in the village were built with the help of each other, so the villagers were very organized and had a clear division of labor. As for some minor changes, through Mo Xin's explanation, experienced villagers can also adjust them.
The trees behind were cut down clean, and after the foundation was laid, the peach trees were dug up and transplanted first, and sure enough, there were a few broken flowers on the ground, and it was a pity to see it. The land in the back was bought for a dozen taels of silver, and then the village chief went to the town to handle the corresponding official vouchers and recorded them, and the land really belonged to them.
Although there is also a saying about land reclamation in this world, the land planning is relatively perfect, and basically you have to spend money to buy land, but the land for land reclamation is much cheaper.
The land that can grow grain is the most expensive, but fortunately their family is on the mountainside, and this piece is not suitable for cultivating paddy fields. Therefore, Fang Qiyan's mother and son were able to build a thatched house here back then, and there was also this reason why they were not excluded by the villagers.
