Chapter Seventy-Three: A New House
On this day, Xu Tiantian stood in the courtyard basking in the sun, turned her head to look at the thatched house, and suddenly wanted to renovate the house.
It's really hard to say that it's hard to come, even if someone else crosses through is not a princess in the palace, she is still a rich lady, only she came to this ghost place where no grass grows. If you have been living in this thatched house, it is a little shabby, and it is completely possible to buy a new house while you have some spare money on hand now.
turned around and looked at Xuan Ye who was chopping firewood on the side, although this house was hers, but after all, Xuan Ye also lived, and she just had some spare money in her hand and wanted to buy a house, but she was afraid that it would make people talk nonsense, and she would say that she was a loser.
"Xuanye, I want to find everyone to help renovate this house, what do you think?"
Xuan Ye put down the axe in his hand and nodded violently, "Okay, Tiantian can live in a new house." β
Xuan Ye had this idea in his heart for a long time, after all, this house was not very warm in winter.
This matter is said to be fast, and since you already have an idea, and you have money in your hand, you have to act quickly.
I found my neighbor Aunt Chen San that night, after all, building a house cannot be completed overnight, and it is too impractical to rely on the two of them alone.
On the second day, as soon as Xu Tiantian opened the door, she saw Aunt Chen San'er with some people.
"Tiantian, yesterday you said you wanted to renovate this house, but today you found a few villagers to come together, there are many people, there is a lot of power."
Looking at so many people, Xu Tiantian was happy, there were more people, and naturally she would work faster.
"Third aunt, thank you, this matter has bothered you. This is the picture I drew yesterday, and that's about what it looks like, so I'll pay you for a look at it first. β
I took the picture that I had rushed all night last night and handed it to everyone.
The general meaning of the picture is the courtyard, but it can't be too luxurious, so it can only be made into two, one is used to warm up and grow vegetables on weekdays, and one is used to live in people.
"Sweet girl, this house is so beautifully painted, and when it is built, it will definitely be the best house in this village!"
Even the famous carpenter in this village may not be able to think of such a picture.
Xu Tiantian scratched the back of her head a little embarrassed, "Where, where, it's just that I thought about painting blindly all night, so let's start construction, I'll take care of the food at noon." β
The man was on the side, staring at Xu Tiantian with a smile, "Tiantian is not only good-looking, but also smart." β
Everyone looked at the two of them just like looking at the newlywed couple, and after smiling lightly, they all dispersed, and they were busy with their own work.
Uncle Zhang at the east end of the village dug three feet down the land to leave room for laying foundations, and Uncle Zhang also found a group of people to go to the mountain to pull some stones. Brother Lin went to the brick kiln to see the bricks.
Aunt Chen San is a woman, and she can't do these heavy jobs, so she just stays on the side, accompanies Xu Tiantian to choose vegetables and cook for these people.
Xuan Ye saw that everyone was in full swing, and couldn't help but pick up the tools, "Tiantian, you can rest here first, and I'll go to help." β
Xu Tiantian nodded, and Xuan Ye excitedly laid the foundation with those individuals.
Aunt Chen San'er finished picking the vegetables and looked at these delicate little cabbages, and couldn't help but ask, "Tiantian, your little cabbage looks fresh, where did you buy it?" β
Xu Tiantian smiled, although this cabbage was planted on the kang, which was not as good as planting it in the soil, but this cabbage really grew well.
"How expensive the dishes are at this time, we grow them ourselves wherever we usually eat, and I'll send a few to the third aunt another day."
Aunt Chen's eyes widened in confusion, a little incredulous, as if Xu Tiantian was telling a joke,
"I planted it myself, and I didn't see you open a piece of land in front of and behind your house, not to mention that this dish is a winter dish, how can we grow it in the ghost weather of this poor country in winter."
Xu Tiantian smiled lightly, put down the work in his hand, the two of them had already dipped in a pot, and it was estimated that it was enough to eat, "Third aunt, you will know if you come in with me to take a look." β
Aunt Chen San'er followed Xu Tiantian into the house, looked at the neat little cabbage that Xu Tiantian looked like she was leaning against the wall, and suddenly realized.
Aunt Chen San slapped her thigh and smiled happily, "Tiantian, you girl has a lot of ideas, no wonder you always have food to send to my house these days." β
Xu Tiantian took Aunt Chen out of the house at this time, but she still had some regrets in her heart, she had already planned it.
"These dishes are always enough to eat, and the worst can survive this winter, not to mention that it is summer now, so I just need to eat some things that can be picked up in the river on weekdays, and I don't need vegetables." It's just that the third aunt is too fast, and everyone is in a hurry today, if the third aunt tells me in advance, I will let Xuanye go to the county to buy some meat, where is there anyone to help eat, and even the meat star is not touched. β
Aunt Chen San'er gently nodded Xu Tiantian's head with one hand, but she didn't use too much force.
"Let's talk about you girl, it's stupid, last year's famine, the big guys didn't eat much, and they couldn't even untie the bottom of the pot at home, and they just dug up some wild vegetable roots every day, and how many of them were gnawed on the bark, you just gave them a bite to eat, and they were also grateful to Dade, where did they care about whether to eat or not."
After all, building a house is really hard work, but if you can eat, people will come to help wherever they want. It's just that I found a few people who look honest on weekdays, and people are willing to come.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tiantian directly shut down their meals, which saved them from gnawing on the bark again.
After noon, Xu Tiantian, Aunt Chen San'er and a later sister-in-law put a few dishes on the table, "Everyone has worked hard today, let's rest and eat first." β
Everyone didn't eat much in the morning, and building a house was a really physically demanding thing, and they were already hungry, but they were all big men, and they were really embarrassed to say, so they finally stayed up until noon, and they were not polite to eat.
Xu Tiantian originally thought that some big men were preparing a few jars of wine, but there was only that jar of wine at home, and such individuals must not be enough, so they simply didn't take it out, and everyone poured a bowl of hot water.
"Everyone is in a hurry today, Xuanye and I, we don't have time to prepare for this time, I hope everyone will forgive me, and when I go to the county to buy some good meals and come back, this sorghum rice big guy will make do with a few bites first."
Aunt Chen San'er is a person who is extremely good at greeting people, beckoned the big guy to sit down, looked at the table and chairs were not enough, and moved the table from her own house.
"Guys, although this work is tiring today, it's not in vain."
After several months of work, it was easy to see the food, and naturally they couldn't wait to swallow the dates, so they swallowed their stomachs, and they couldn't even taste anything.
Seeing these people gobbling up, Xu Tiantian felt a little bad in her heart, this disaster has brought misfortune to too many people, she is not the Virgin, naturally she can't save the refugees in this world,
"Everyone is in a hurry, if it's not enough, I still have some steamed buns in the house."
However, he still has to treat these people who help him, otherwise she will be sorry for her conscience.
Everyone also knew in their hearts that Xu Tiantian had some silver taels in her hand, after all, she had been tinkering with it before and didn't know anything, but later she heard that she had made a fortune.
"What is this talking about Sweet Girl, it will be good to be able to eat a bite of food later, how can it be better to let the girl and Xuan Ye break the bank."
It's just that although there are always a few tongue-chewing people in the village, the people are simple, and these people who come are also honest people.
Although Xu Tiantian didn't mind men and women eating at the same table, after all, this was something that most people in ancient times couldn't accept, so she also consciously prepared to "follow the local customs" and prepared some on the small table, "Third aunt, I have prepared some meals on the small table in the house, let's call Yu Yu to come over for dinner." β
Aunt Chen San'er held the bowl, although Xu Tiantian went to deliver food every day, but it was just enough for the child to eat a bite, and she was reluctant to eat it on weekdays.
"Don't be in a hurry, he's a little child, wait for everyone to eat and clean up, and then call him over to eat."
Xu Tiantian gently patted Aunt Chen's arm, "Third aunt, this is also a few of our women's family, what is there to taboo, go quickly." β
"Heyββ, then I'm going to call that cub."
After noon, everyone had eaten the fullest in months.
Aunt Chen San'er held a kettle in her hand, poured a bowl of hot water, and shouted with a smile, "Old Zhangtou, I still want to bask in the sun again after I have eaten and drunk enough, and I have to take a break for a while, so I naturally have to hurry up and work." β
The man who had been replaced with an old head waved the hoe in his hand and turned back, "Aunt Chen, you have to go to the small medical hall in the county guard to take a look at your eyes, this hoe has always been held in my hand." β
A group of people laughed, and the day's work passed quickly. After eating enough, I naturally have motivation, and everyone is not a lazy and slippery person, but after a day's work, everything that should be prepared has been prepared.
Xu Zehan is small and can't help much, but he also knows how to pour a bowl of water for people from time to time.
Everyone has been busy for nearly a month, and seeing that it is about to be completed, Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye are going to go to the town to buy some things, and they also give everyone points, so that they can rest and rest in the past few days.
Because the two of them have been busy building houses these days, they haven't come to the dock for a long time.
