Chapter 41: Field Dam Gossip
Erlin and they still have to build a new house, even if they move out, there is no place to live, Ding Dashan made a decision and said that they would wait for the house to be repaired before moving out, and no one had an opinion on this.
There are still two or three months to go before the New Year, and Erlin has also stepped up the construction of new houses.
To build a new house, you must first choose a location, and Erlin didn't know that his father would agree to divide the family, so he didn't choose a good place.
According to his idea, it is better to choose a location near his home, but the Ding family's house was built early, and later his father's generation repaired the house, and there was no place to repair the old house.
Since this idea is not easy to realize, Erlin has another plan.
He was a carpenter, and wood was important to his profession, so he wanted to find a place close to the mountains and within a safe range to build a new house.
In this way, the goal is set at the end of the village, which is the closest place to the mountain, and the wood on those mountains is thicker and more suitable.
In addition, Erlin also wants to make the house bigger, especially the yard, which is much more convenient for carpentry.
In this way, the foundation of the new house must be large, and it is best not to have a house next to it, or only one side of the house.
This is not very difficult, generally people in the village if they want to repair the house at the end of Wang Village, they are slowly raised and repaired from the place near the periphery, and it is a big deal that he can retreat a little, which is not a problem.
Generally, if someone in the village wants to build a new house after splitting up, they will divide a piece of land to build a new house, and there is no need to pay additional money to buy it, which is also a custom in Wanshan Village.
Therefore, after Erlin chose the place, he went to talk to the village chief, and after the village chief went to see it, he set aside a piece of land as his family's homestead.
In addition, the village chief also set aside an extra piece of land around it to make vegetable patches or other things for them, and the same is true for other families in the village.
However, Erlin has a good reputation in the village, and he is a carpenter, and from time to time people come to him for help, as long as he is not too much, he will agree, and the money should be cheaper.
Of course, more importantly, the village chief looked up to him and deliberately allocated him an extra piece of land, and the villagers agreed with a few smiles when they knew about it, and maybe they would want him to help in the future.
The village chief is really good to Erlin, and the homestead of ordinary people is divided into three or four points at most, but Erlin is divided into more than half an acre and nearly one acre.
Erlin knew that the village chief took care of himself, so he thought about giving more New Year's gifts when he waited for the New Year, and he was afraid of gossip if he gave it now.
"Daddy, are we moving out?"
Xin'er was a little puzzled, she didn't know what had happened recently, but she was more than two years old, and she heard someone say this when she followed her brother to the village to play.
No, as soon as she got home, she asked.
"Where did Xin'er hear about it?"
Erlin didn't know why she suddenly asked about this, you must know that although the matter of the separation did not avoid the children in the family, she did not tell them, let alone have such a small heart.
"My brother and I went to the village to play, and I listened to the aunts in the village, Daddy, where are we going to move in? Don't you live with grandpa and grandma? ”
Xin'er was still young and didn't understand, so he asked again and again.
She likes grandpa and grandma, she doesn't want to move out, grandpa and grandma treat her well, and buy her candy to eat eggs for her, but my brother doesn't have to eat them.
"Well, when our new house is repaired, we will move out, do you want to live in the new house?"
Erlin thought about it and didn't hide it from her, briefly told her, and especially emphasized the new house.
"New house? Our family's? ”
Sure enough, a child is a child, and he is happy at the mention of something new.
"Yes, our family, do you want to live?"
"I want to!! Daddy, I want to live in a new house! ”
My heart was sent away like this, and I didn't think about anything else.
The homestead for repairing the house has been set before, and then Erlin asked someone to help build the house, and now the foundation has begun to be laid, and the foundation is almost laid.
Erlin didn't have much money in his hand, he divided five taels when he split up before, plus the money given by his parents to build a house, a total of eight taels, and the couple had saved a few taels over the years, adding up to eleven taels of silver.
It is not possible to build a blue brick house with this money, and even if it can be built, it is only necessary to build two rooms, which is not enough for their family.
Erlin didn't think about building a blue brick house, after all, he couldn't use all the money to repair the house, and he wouldn't live in the future.
Besides, they have just separated now, and they need to prepare a lot of things, and it is impossible to spend all the money on this.
Erlin didn't want the house to be too bad, so he decided to build an earthen tile house, and cover the tile above the earthen wall structure, of course, only for the main house, and the others should be temporarily roof with thatch, so that a lot of money can also be saved.
Of course, these are only decisions for the time being, and it is not impossible to change them if there is extra money in the future.
Since she knew that she was going to build a new house, she had been in a good mood, and she had to follow her father to the new house every day.
Erlin and the Wang family have their own work to do, they don't have time to look at her, and she has to go, so the husband and wife discuss it and let Youyi follow to watch Xin'er.
Youyi was also very happy that he was going to build a new house at first, and he went there every day to see it.
But as time passed, Youyi was not very willing to go, so he wanted to go to the village with his heart to find other people to play.
Xin'er didn't want to go, so Youyi was reluctant to take her.
Youyi is getting older, and he doesn't like to play with a child like Xin'er, especially since she is still a girl, he doesn't want to play with girls, and he is a little bored with Xin'er for a while.
The child is very sensitive, and Xin'er feels that her brother doesn't want to play with her, and she is very aggrieved, so she complains to her parents at night.
"Mother, my brother doesn't like to play with me."
"What's the matter, my brother bullied you?"
The Wang family already valued Xin'er, and when she heard Xin'er say this, her first reaction was that she was bullied by her brother.
"No, my brother didn't bully me, he just didn't play with me."
Xin'er still likes her brother quite a lot, and she doesn't want him to be scolded by her mother.
"Then why doesn't my brother play with you?"
"I don't know, my brother wants me to go to the village with him to play, but I want to see my father and they don't want to go to build a new house, so my brother won't play with me."
"In this case, I'll tell him tomorrow, let my brother take you to play, okay?"
Wang didn't think it was a big deal.
"Really? Will my brother play with me? ”
Xin'er lowered her head and played with her hands, looking aggrieved.
"Well, really, my brother will definitely play with you." Wang nodded in agreement.
"Well, my mother is the best, and my heart likes my mother the most."
Xin'er was immediately happy, hugging Wang's and lying coquettishly.
"Alas, does Xin'er like Mother and doesn't like Daddy?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
Wang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, while Xin'er hugged Wang and said, "Xin'er likes Daddy." ”
"Haha, I'm about to sleep, it's late, be careful that I can't get up tomorrow, my brother won't take you to play again."
Erlin couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
