Chapter 460, go down the mountain to repair the house (tx20 more
As for the Xu family, Tu Wan felt that it was still up to Jiao Niang, she would go if she wanted to go back and walk around, and if she didn't want to go, she wouldn't go.
Anyway, he's a person, so he doesn't ask for so much.
And the daughter-in-law is what she likes at a glance, so you must treat her well.
On the first day of the menstrual affair, Xu Jianniang couldn't walk the road that hurt, and the second day was still very painful, but it was much better, but the person was relatively weak, but Tu Wan stewed pheasant soup, let her eat lunch and dinner, and the pain was reduced on the third day, but it was still very weak, and there was no strength, and on the seventh day, it was completely clean.
Xu Jianniang's body leaned softly on the kang, and Tu Wan brought breakfast in.
"Why are the windows still open?" Tu Wan asked.
"Breathable!"
"Okay, hurry up, eat breakfast!"
In the morning, it is minced porridge, cooked thickly, and with some side dishes, it tastes great.
In the past few days, Tu Wan's clothes have been washed, and he specially got some cotton for her.
"Tu Wan!"
"Huh?"
"Why are you so nice to me?"
Tu Wan held the bowl and looked at Xu Jianniang, "You are my daughter-in-law, I am not good to you, who is good to me?" ”
In the early years, so many women, he didn't think about marrying a daughter-in-law, just that glance, looking at Xu Jianniang, he wanted to marry someone home.
“……”
Xu Jianniang lowered her head.
But she is actually not Xu Jianniang.
It can't be said that it's not Xu Jianniang, or it's not the Xu Jianniang that Tu Wan likes.
That stupid woman, such a good man doesn't marry, but thinks about the sour talent in the village.
"I ......" Xu Jianniang wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong? Is it unwell? Tu Wan asked.
"Wait for two days, the weather will be better, I'll take you down the mountain and find the doctor to have a look!"
Xu Jianniang nodded.
"Jiao Niang, you say, how about we move down the mountain?"
"Why did you move the mountain?" Xu Jianniang was puzzled.
"There's nothing wrong with being in the mountains, but I go out hunting, sometimes I may not be able to come back for a day, I don't worry about you being at home alone, move to the bottom of the mountain, first, it's convenient to get in and out, and secondly, you also have a companion, you can go to your uncle's house if you're bored, what do you say?"
Xu Jianniang thought for a while, "Well, what does it cost to build a house under the mountain?" ”
"Look at how big it is, just two of us, just build a small house, no, we still have children in the future, or have to be bigger, the yard is bigger, you can grow vegetables, it is convenient to repair the house at that time, I don't know how much it costs to repair the house, I chose the address when the time comes, and all the other packages are for others to do, and how much silver is given!"
To go to live under the mountain, Xu Jianniang thinks it is feasible.
Living alone in this mountain, I'm really a little scared, mainly because it's not very convenient.
"When the time comes, you will take as much silver as you need!"
"Good!" Tu Wan nodded.
Since Xu Jianniang is willing to go to live at the foot of the mountain, he wants to get it earlier, the winter in this mountain is really cold, a small yard and a few rooms, wood and stone are ready, and the construction is fast.
"Jiao Niang, will we raise pigs then?" Tu Wan asked.
"Make a pigsty and raise one!"
"Hmm!"
Tu Wan likes this feeling.
Everything is discussed.
Tu Wan stayed at home with Xu Jianniang for two more days, and saw that she was able to walk around on the kang, and her body was much better, but in the past few days, she has lost some weight, and the already thin person will have no meat at this time.
"Jiao Niang, you are at home, I will go down the mountain first to find someone to get a house, I won't come back at noon, you can get some food yourself, don't save it, we have food!"
Xu Jianniang nodded.
Watching Tu Wan leave.
On this day, the cold wind was whistling, and it was really cold.
The road down the mountain was actually not easy to walk, but for Tu Wan, it didn't seem to have much impact.
Watch him go fast.
Halfway through, Tu Wan raised his eyes to look at the mountain, and saw that Xu Jianniang was still in the mountain pass, so he hurriedly waved his hand at Xu Jianniang and motioned her to go back.
Xu Jianniang waved her hand in response, then called the two dogs and went home.
Tu Wan went to the uncle's house first and told the uncle that he wanted to move down the mountain to live.
"And where are you going to build the house?"
"At the foot of the mountain over there, there is just a road to the village, horse-drawn carriages and ox carts can enter the house, although there are rocks over there, but clean up and tidy up, the location is quite big!" Tu Wandao.
The uncle smoked a cigarette and pondered about it, "This is okay, but if you want to buy land to repair the house, you have to tell the village chief and the patriarch to measure the contract and land, and then find someone to repair the house, and then I and your three brothers will go to help!" ”
"Uncle, I'm going to pack it all out!"
"Don't build your own?" Uncle asked. "This can get a lot of silver, buy land at least a few taels, you repair the stone house, how can you get twenty or thirty taels, if we repair it ourselves, my three brothers and I are not paid, plus the people of the family, you will take care of the food, and then return the work, there is a dozen taels is enough!"
Tu Wan shook his head.
Although you can save money by repairing it yourself, you have to prepare your own meals.
He was reluctant to let his mother be busy cooking for people all day long.
"You kid!" Uncle sighed.
But it can't be helped.
He also knew that Tu Wan could make money, but hunting was dangerous.
"But if you think it's good to ask someone to fix it, then ask someone to fix it, and I'll take you to the village chief and patriarch's house to talk about it!"
"Good!"
There is an uncle to lead the way, plus this land to buy and repair the house, half of the silver is to enter the clan, and the sacrifice or something will be used in the future.
Tu Wan is not from Xujia Village, but he wants to register in Xujia Village, so that his children can go to school in the future.
When he is alone, he doesn't care anyway, if he eats this meal or not, he will starve to death, but now that he has Jiao Niang, he will have children in the future, and he has to plan for Jiao Niang and the child.
In addition, the land he asked for was quite large, calculated as three acres, two or two acres, a total of six taels of silver, plus it was originally a mountainous land, and the patriarch took charge of half an acre to go in.
That's a big deal.
After these were done, some hurriedly went to the town, and the uncle helped to get the contract and household registration, and Tu Wan took the opportunity to find the person who built the house.
As soon as the people who repaired the house heard that Tu Wan was going to repair this courtyard, it was better to say that they asked that the courtyard be fenced off and the courtyard wall should be built higher.
In the three-and-a-half-acre area, the yard is not particularly large, but according to what Tu Wan said, there should still be something, and it is best to repair it before the Chinese New Year, and move in it in the spring after the New Year.
"Look at it like this, the left is the kitchen, the kitchen is larger, the back is the warehouse, you can put rice and grain or something, the middle is the hall, the left is used as a room, this room is also exquisite, there are two rooms inside and outside, the inside can be put in the bed, in the back of the hall, there is also a room vacant, put valuable things, the window is higher, smaller. There is also a room on the right side of the hall house, which can be used as a guest room, or children can live in the future. ”
"Opposite this kitchen, there are also two rooms, where guests can stay, what do you think?"
Tu Wan thought it was okay, "What about the bathing place?" ”
He knew that Xu Jianniang loved to be clean, and this bathing place must have one.
"This is easy to do, in order to carry water or something, just next to the kitchen, I get the ditch to ensure that the dirty water does not seep into the well, that is, the usual laundry or something, the dirty water also goes out along the ditch!"
Tu Wan thought about it carefully and thought it was good, "How much silver is that?" ”
"Forty taels, I'll get everything for you, even the floor slab will be nailed out for you, and a staircase will be made in the back room, and things can be put on it and people can live, even on the roof, the tiles are also selected, and the eaves of the three times are connected for you, and it rains or something, go under the eaves, what do you think?"
Tu Wan shook his head, "Since you said forty taels of silver, I also know that it is not easy to make money, so I don't bargain with you, but you have been doing this for a long time, and I also believe that you will not disobey the yang and the yin, and the good things you promised will not be done well when the time comes!" ”
He took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom, "This is twenty taels of silver, which is considered a deposit, and I hope you will go to work sooner!" ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely build the house for you before the year, not to mention the spring after the New Year, even if you live in it before the New Year, everyone is a happy person, not to mention anything else, I will do it for you in the kang and kitchen of the main house, the stove, how many pots do you plan?!"
"Let's take three mouthfuls, bring a kettle that can boil hot water, and I'll add money again when the time comes!"
"It's easy to say, the contemptible surname is Xie, I don't know your surname!"
"Tu Wan!"
There is no mud and water, so I simply introduce myself.
Xie Baotou wrote a receipt, and promised to bring someone over tomorrow to see, this construction has to choose an auspicious day, plus he has someone in his hand, and he is not afraid that it will be too late.
Now that he has found him, Tu Wan also believes that he can handle things well.
Tu Wan negotiated here, and asked Xie Baotou to go to Xujia Village to find the uncle when the time came, so he went to find the uncle.
When he arrived, everything in the contract had been completed, and Tu Wan had drawn his handprint.
Tu Wan invited a few people from the yamen, as well as the village chief, the patriarch, and the uncle to the restaurant for dinner.
