Chapter Ninety-Four: House Layout
After taking a bath, Liu Man'er arranged a room for Dong and others, anyway, now there are many houses in the house, and there are even more empty rooms, Liu Man'er arranged Dong and others in the east wing, afraid that Cao'er A little girl would fall asleep at night and be afraid, so she let her sleep with Ye He.
Ye He's room is very large, Cao Er and Ye He sleep inside, and Fu Lu sleeps outside, because Fu Lu is the first girl to come to Liu Man's house, so Liu Man'er still values her, and prepares a room for her on the side of the first floor of the main house, but she is also a little afraid to sleep alone, so she chooses to sleep with Ye He.
Liu Man'er built a two-story small building, there are five rooms on the first floor of the main house, Fang's sleep occupies the first floor, an empty room is next to her, another living room, and the other two Liu Man'er are big enough to use as a study and family activity room.
The study room is on the inside side of the bookshelf, although there are not a few books now, and then there are a few cases, one per person in the family, relative to it, and then hang some bead curtains as partitions, and put tables, chairs, chaise longues, etc., you can lie here to rest, play, sew, draw patterns, etc.
In this way, although Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng are both studying, the family can also work together and communicate together.
As for the entrance of the study, a screen is placed to block the sight of outsiders, of course, the guests will be in the main room, and will not come to the study.
The two rooms on the second floor of the main house are Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er's room, although they are now sleeping in the same room, but the other room is kept by Liu Man'er, Liu Man'er said, if Ye Yuan makes her angry, she won't sleep with Ye Yuan.
The other is Ye He's room, Liu Man'er left a room for Cao'er next to Ye He, planning to let her not leave this time, take her with her, and raise her fat, it just so happens that her own work is also more, and it can be regarded as letting her help, it is better than being on the mountain.
As for the remaining room, it was used as a storeroom, storing some fabric, cotton, leather, and other miscellaneous things.
The two brothers, Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng, lived in the attic of the West Wing, which was quieter after all and close to the study.
As for Ye Qing, the second floor of the east wing is his, and when he marries his daughter-in-law, he can also live, although the furniture is not yet complete, but the number of rooms is also five, even if he marries his daughter-in-law and gives birth to a child at that time, it will be enough to live.
The guest room is arranged on the first floor of the east wing, there are already two rooms with furniture, some rooms are also empty, it is really too busy for the carpenter master, and he plans to come over to help with the furniture after the New Year.
When they were in the old mansion just now, the Dong family and the others didn't feel anything, and when they arrived at the new mansion, they were instantly amazed, they didn't expect the Ye family to build such a magnificent house, although it was not very clear at night, but just the heavy gate and wide yard made them amazed.
What's more, the furniture in this room is all new, as well as soft cotton cloth, all kinds of things are readily available, Dong used to feel that he was very sorry for Liu Man'er, but now he feels that Liu Man'er is really lucky.
It is true that Liu Man'er was lucky to meet Ye Yuan and Fang, two people who loved her, but now everything in the family is inseparable from her own diligence.
I just moved in last night, and we still have a lot of things to move the next day, but Liu Man'er's small workshop is to put it in the old house, after all, the old house is still quite big, and it is a waste to be empty, Liu Man'er thinks it is very good to use it to install some small workshops to make some things.
For example, if you develop salted duck eggs, preserved eggs and other things at home, you can make a warehouse there, like a small factory.
Although it is approaching the end of the year, but Liu Man'er's affairs are not a lot at all, she is very busy all day, and now that the yard is bigger, there are still a lot of things to do, and the sheep at home are pregnant, rabbits, chickens and ducks have changed to a new environment, Liu Man'er will go to appease them these days.
Some flowers and trees in the backyard, Liu Man'er and others are busy watering, but now that Liu Man'er's family is here, she can also help her, otherwise before, she would have invited someone to water her.
I invited relatives and friends to dinner today, Ye Yuan's two aunts didn't know where they got the news, and they came again, but this time they were quite well-behaved and didn't say anything bad, but the two fat chickens of Liu Man's family were still taken away by their three-inch incorruptible tongues.
It was also Liu Man'er who was not there, and the Fang clan was told by them to take the two fat chickens away, but when Liu Man'er appeared again, it was already too late.
However, Dong was present, Liu Man'er asked Dong, and Dong said that they had been saying good things, and she didn't know what kind of relationship her son-in-law's family had with these two aunts, so she didn't say much.
Forget it, if you go, you will go, as long as they don't talk nonsense, the two chickens should be fed to the dogs, and if they talk nonsense, they won't like it.
Everyone was very happy to move to a new house, Liu Man'er took Dong and others around the yard, Dong and others sighed again and again, this yard is really big, and they feel that their daughter's life is prosperous.
Liu Man'er just shook her head and smiled, and asked what her family's plans were for next year.
After hearing Liu Man'er's words, the old willow head said: "What else can I do, it's not the same as before, plant sorghum and corn in the spring, go to the landlord's house to do short-term work when the farm is slack, and then harvest in the autumn, work again, and when the weather is cold, cut down some trees, burn some charcoal and sell them." ”
"Big brother seems to be almost twenty, right?" Liu Man'er suddenly asked again.
"Yes, I'll be twenty-one when I celebrate the New Year." Dong sighed, "There is no money in this family, and I don't know if he can marry a daughter-in-law." ”
"Don't be afraid to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm here." Liu Man'er said: "Tell me when you need money urgently, I will ask Ye Yuan to give you money." ”
"How's that going to work?" Dong said: "Ye Yuan's family is very sincere, but we can't do this, if we do this, what do they think of our Liu family, my mother already feels that I can't live with you, how can I make trouble for you." ”
"It's fine." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "You are all my fathers and mothers, what is this little favor?" Besides, I know the eldest brother and the second brother, people are diligent, why don't you do this, let them all come to me next year to do things? ”
"You?" Dong said with some puzzlement.
"Well, it's definitely better for me to introduce them to work than to plant those acres of sorghum at home." Liu Man'er said:
"If the eldest brother wants to marry a daughter-in-law at home, you can ask the second brother to come and help me. If you come this time, you will stay for a while, anyway, there is a house at home, and Cao'er is old, so you can help me work, so just put it here and take it. ”
"How's that going to work?" Dong said, "Fusheng and you are already members of the Ye family, so I can't put the grass in the Ye family anymore." ”
Liu Man'er saw that Dong was a little excited, and knew that she had misunderstood, she said: "Mother, you misunderstood what I meant, I just said that Cao'er was a guest at my house, you see that we have so many chickens, ducks and livestock, let her help me do some work, I will give her money, give her food and clothing, and save a dowry for her when the time comes, and the child is still your father's and mother's." ”
Because Liu Man'er and Liu Fusheng's origins have now fallen on the head of the Ye family, they are not considered to be members of the Liu family, although the Dong family is poor, they don't want to give their only remaining daughter to the Ye family, but when Liu Man'er said this, she was much more relieved.
After all, working in his own sister's house, he is not afraid of being bullied, and he still has a certain status in the Ye family.
"But do you need someone for your family? Will your mother-in-law say yes? Dong was a little moved, but a little hesitant.
"I'll talk to her." Liu Man'er said, "She should agree, not to mention, our family also bought a little girl." ”
"You bought a little girl?" Old Willow interjected on the side, "Who? ”
"It's the floating green, she's my newly bought little girl, because I'm afraid of others gossiping, so I asked her to call me my cousin." Liu Man'er explained.
"Oh, I see." Old Willow nodded, and wanted to pick up the cigarette stick, only to remember that he didn't have a cigarette stick and dry tobacco.
"Man'er, your family's life is really getting better and better."
The Dong family was relieved, and felt a little ashamed of herself in front of her daughter, especially in front of the Fang family, she felt a little unable to lift up, after all, her family was poor and had been in the Ye family for a long time, she was really afraid that others would say that they were here to eat and drink and fight the autumn breeze.
"Mother, you can too." Liu Man'er said: "You can plant some fruit trees or a variety of Camellia oleifera trees on the mountain, and then selling fruits, oil, and candied fruit will also be a lot of income a year." ”
"Hey, what you said is really an idea." Dong listened to it and thought it was feasible.
"Of course." Liu Man'er said: "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, now it's too late to plant fruit trees, this fruit tree grows fast, three or five years will be about the same, when the eldest brother and second brother just rely on this fruit tree, they can not worry about food and clothing." ”
"Then we'll pick fruit trees next year!" The old willow seems to have realized that he has been in a state of confusion and has no plan, and when Liu Man'er said it at this moment, there is a sense of suddenness.
"Man'er, you're so clever now." Dong sighed: "In the past, when you were at home, you made trouble all day long, and your father and mother were anxious to death, but now that you have come to the Ye family, I didn't expect you to be so well-behaved." ”
"So I used to be ignorant, and I caused trouble to my father, and I can't forget my father's nurturing grace." Liu Man'er took this opportunity to apologize to the old Liu Tou and the Dong family, and she was also grateful to them for not giving up on her early, so she raised her as an adult.
"It's Daddy, I'm sorry for you." Dong sighed, "But it's all fate." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that." After Liu Man'er took them around the courtyard, it was almost dark, and she was a little sentimental when she heard Dong's words, so she took them to the front yard and waited for dinner.
