Song Yaoyao washed a clean jar and packed the hydrosol, and it will be used tomorrow at the latest, otherwise it will be easy to breed bacteria after a long time.

After looking at the sky, he couldn't do much work today, so he asked Taozhi to pour the rouge oil into the pot and began to simmer slowly.

During the period, the eldest girl and the pillar came to visit, saying that her grandmother asked her to send some pigweed as firewood, Song Yaoyao remembered the good of this family, and wrapped a bag of snacks for the two children to take back.

The two children were very polite, and after seeing that their mothers had no objections, they happily accepted them.

"My Auntie, you're too used to children, just eat this snack once in a while, it's a bit extravagant to have it every day."

Song Yaoyao knew that the village was full of ordinary households, and he couldn't eat meat a few times a year, so he didn't have spare money to buy snacks for his children.

If this is put in modern times, who has a four or five-year-old child at home is not a family spoiler, and it is okay to give whatever you want and eat some snacks.

Knowing that Taozhi was kind, Song Yaoyao smiled and didn't say anything.

After boiling for two hours, Song Yaoyao looked at the condition, and was quite satisfied, so he turned off the fire.

In the evening, the family gathered around to eat, Song Yaoyao discussed with her family about building a new house, although she had this idea, but she didn't know anything about building a house, so she wanted to hear her family's opinion.

Dongmei knew that her sister-in-law made some money by making fat powder, but she thought that her sister-in-law was still young, even if she earned money, she would keep it for herself as a dowry, after all, she was a girl who had been married once, and the dowry was not rich, how could she find a good one.

Besides, on weekdays, she pays for rice, noodles, oil and meat at home, and the two children have gained a lot of weight these days, and it is not appropriate to let the sister pay for the house.

Song Rong also meant this: "My Aunt, you save your little money to make a dowry for yourself, don't spend it casually, Yunsheng is still young, your sister-in-law and I will be diligent, and we will be able to build a few more houses in a few years, without you having to pay." ”

Song Yaoyao only knew that when she was rich, she naturally wanted to use it to improve her family's life, but she never thought that her family had always been worried about her marriage.

Song Yaoyao still attaches great importance to marriage, she will never be wronged by herself, if she marries, she will naturally be happy with each other, and she will end up with each other.

But she is self-aware, and it is a big rebellion to talk about these things in this era, and besides, it is not her turn to pick a man on her terms.

She didn't want to hide it from her family, so she took advantage of the conversation and confessed: "Daddy, I don't want to marry again, I can earn money by myself, and it is not a problem to support myself, so why marry someone to block myself." ”

The rest of the Song family looked at each other, not knowing that Song Yaoyao had such a plan in his heart.

Mother Song is an old-fashioned woman, how can she do if she doesn't get married, she will have no children in the future, who will give her a pension to the end, although there is Maomao, but Maomao is not her biological after all, and there will not even be a person who wears linen and wears filial piety and throws pots.

Mother Song said hurriedly: "How can you do it if you don't get married, what should you do when you get old if you don't marry?" ”

"It's really not okay to adopt or adopt one, and I can raise a child."

Mother Song was speechless, thinking about her daughter's experience, and then thinking about her daughter's conditions, whether it is high or low, it is indeed difficult to remarry, and she sighed and had nothing to say.

Daddy Song asked, "Then what you mean by that, do you want to have your own household?" ”

Song Yaoyao nodded, she did have this idea.

Father Song nodded and said, "It's okay to set up a household by yourself, and if you make money in the future, you can buy some property for yourself, no one who has it is better to have it yourself, and only with money can you have confidence." ”

Dongmei didn't expect her sister-in-law to have such great ambitions, and she wanted to set up a female household, although the imperial court did not prohibit women from setting up their own doors, but in a small place like theirs, it was never a matter of setting up a female household, but her father-in-law had no opinions, and she naturally wouldn't say anything.

When Daddy Song was young, he traveled south and north to run business and goods, and he had seen some of the world, and he said that he agreed and the rest of the family had no opinion.

"Dad, although I want to have a single family, but I am a woman in the end, I will inevitably rely on my brother and sister-in-law in the future, and if the family is doing well, I can stand up outside."

Song Yaoyao thought about it very thoroughly, although the folk customs here are open, and women do not have so many constraints, but in the end she is a woman, her husband is not guilty, she is guilty, since she has given up marrying, if there is no strong mother's family to support, no matter how much money she earns, she is afraid that she will not be stable.

Father Song understood her thoughts, and was relieved that she was going to pay for the construction of a house, and asked, "What do you want to build?" ”

Song Yaoyao didn't understand the market and asked, "I don't know what price we get to build a house here?" ”

Father Song thought for a while and said: "The green bricks are expensive, the soil is cheap, a blue brick house costs eight taels of silver, and the earthen embryo house only needs half of it." ”

Song Yaoyao had a score in his heart, so he said: "Since I built it, I will build a good one, I think about it, build a two-entry yard, with a cross-courtyard on each side of the east and west, connected with the main courtyard, which is convenient to move around, and closes the door and becomes a household of its own, if the sister-in-law licks a nephew again, there will be no need to build a new house in the future, and the two courtyards are suitable." ”

Old Man Song summed it up, if you enter the room twice, you will be the first to enter the house, and a yard in the back will build some warehouses and granaries or something, and it is enough to count six rooms to be full.

As for the two courtyards, the east courtyard is a little better, with three main rooms and two side rooms for the girl to live in, and it will be left to the girl in the future. Only three main houses can be built in the west courtyard, and as for the second child in the belly, let Brother Rong build it himself when he has money in the future, and he can't point to his sister in everything.

After this calculation, this house is not 100 taels and cannot be taken.

"To build it like you say, it will cost at least 100 taels of silver."

Dongmei exclaimed: "100 taels!" "Half a month ago, the poor family was almost out of rice, and now they can think about building a big yard, how much money does my sister-in-law make.

Looking at Song Yaoyao's eyes for a while, he was a little inquisitive.

Mother Song glanced at her coldly, and the warning in her eyes was self-evident.

"It's just that there is no reason to let the girl pay for the construction of the house, so can our family still be a man?"

Although Song Rong is honest, he is an idea, he is a man, and he doesn't want to be said to be a soft eater when he is poor, so he said: "Naturally, I can't let my fair lady go all out, I have to be my brother's big head, although I don't have money now, but I'm still young, I can save enough anyway, I can give my sister an IOU first." ”

Song Yaoyao didn't think so much in advance, just thinking that he would build a new house when he had money to make his family more spacious, but he didn't expect that his family would think about himself everywhere, and it would be fake to say that he was not moved.

Father Song slapped the table and set the tone: "My aunt will pay 50 taels, and the rest will be paid by you, the elder brother." ”

Song Rong naturally had no opinion.

Song Yaoyao thought for a while and asked, "Dad, I still want to fill in a few more acres of land, there are many people in the family, how can I support a family with this little land." ”

Father Song has been dealing with the land for half his life, even if he used to be a partner in the county, he had to come back to help when he was busy with farming, and he had a deep affection for the land.

Nodding and saying, "Yes, the house can be put away first, and it is a practical matter to fill in a few acres of land first." ”
