Chapter 61: Building a New House
After Hua Daxi's family left, Hua Daxi and Qiao San were officially divorced.
Qiao Da and Qiao Er looked at Qiao San, who had been tortured, and felt extremely uncomfortable. They were heartbroken by what had happened to him over the years, and they also hated their own incompetence, but they were more worried about the future of Qiao San and his two nieces, how could this slave who had been divorced work!
After this incident, it took Banxia to fully realize that her career could no longer be so petty, this Qiao San was taken home, and her road would only be more difficult in the future.
But what Hua Banxia is afraid of, she has never been afraid of difficulties, not to mention that in this era of completely underdeveloped information, no matter how embarrassing things are, they will not be known to everyone, unless someone deliberately investigates.
"Uncle, I want to find a Lang Zhong for my father to see the situation and see if I can restore my father to the way he was before", the Qiao family sat in the house, and no one spoke.
Cheng Ze had already left, and he originally planned to come over to eat, but seeing that Hua Banxia still had things to deal with now, he didn't bother to go home.
"Cheng, you must see it", Qiao Da was resolute, he couldn't suffer this younger brother anymore, "Hey, Banxia, your road will be much more difficult this time."
Qiao Da was happy and depressed about Qiao San's homecoming, what can I do in the future!
But Hua Banxia doesn't think that having a divorced father will have much impact on him, as long as he has the ability, the means, and the ability to make money, he doesn't care what others say!
"Uncle who is fine, I have a number of things to do with my father", Hua Banxia said easily, "When my father sees a doctor, let's repair the yard and house, after all, there are three more people in the family, and there is no place to live."
Hua Banxia originally thought that if he had been doing business in the city, then the old houses in Qiaoli Village would not be repaired, but now he decided to return to the village to serve the crops, so he could no longer crowd into these few dilapidated houses.
"Hey, I'll take a few boys to tie up this year's straw and renovate the roof", Qiao Er readily agreed.
But Hua Banxia didn't mean that, "Second uncle, I mean, let's push the house and build a new house", Hua Banxia looked at a few people and said seriously, indicating that she was not joking.
"What, build a new house!" Where could Tian Fuzhen have thought that this family still had a chance to be rebuilt, she thought that it would be impossible for her to live in a new house in her lifetime.
Seeing that several elders had doubts about Hua Banxia's proposal, they were struggling to agree with Hua Banxia's bold idea.
But Hua Banxia had already thought of a rhetoric, and he would definitely be able to get them to agree to this matter.
"The eldest uncle and the second uncle, the eldest uncle and the second uncle, the eldest brother is nineteen this year, and Qiao Yi is also fourteen years old, they have all reached the age of saying that they will marry their daughters-in-law, but you see, how can we marry daughters-in-law for brothers and brothers in a house like ours?"
During this busy period of work, everyone saw that the family was making money every day, and they almost forgot about it. Now that I've been spending half a summer saying this, I really feel that it's time to build a house without further ado.
"That's right, look at my brain, why did you forget about it", Chen Jiahua suddenly patted his head and said to Qiao Da, "Qiao Da, we have to do it, we have to do it quickly!" ”
Qiao Zheng is nineteen years old, he can't afford to delay it, with the current situation of their family, I don't know how many things have to do, it's too early.
"This ......", Qiao Da was a little embarrassed, this thing was too sudden. He didn't prepare anything, where to start?
Hua Banxia knew Qiao Da's thoughts, since the moment she arrived at Qiao's house on the first day and decided to stay, she had already begun to plan, the design drawings and everything were planned, and now she can only contact materials and workers, ready to start work at any time.
"Uncle and second uncle, don't blame me for making my own decisions, I've been thinking about the house for a long time, I'll go and get the drawings over later, and listen to your opinions," Hua Banxia explained.
"Really! Cousin, what interesting pictures did you draw again? Qiao Le had been looking at Qiao San just now, and knew that Qiao San was mentally unstable, so he watched carefully.
Now that he heard Hua Banxia say that he had drawn a new drawing, he immediately came to his senses. No matter what her cousin did, he was looking forward to it.
After discussing the matter, Qiao Zheng and a few people helped Qiao San to Qiao Zheng's house, and now only Qiao Zheng is one person in the house, so how can Qiao San be squeezed out.
……
On the second day, Qiao Er went to the city to invite Lang Zhong, and Qiao Da went to find a team of workers who specialized in building houses for people. This is the meaning of spending half a summer, if they find it themselves, not to mention how the workers' craftsmanship is, it is just to find materials will have to delay a lot of things, it is better to spend more money to hand over things to the people of the labor team.
Yesterday, Hua Banxia had already shown them the drawings, which meant that he wanted to use Qiao Da's entire yard to build a super-large farm manor.
This project scared Qiao Da and them, before they saw Hua Banxia's drawings, they always thought that she was simply replacing the thatch with tiles, and then repairing the broken walls, who knew that it was going to be completely renovated.
"Uncle, we have also made some money in recent days, you don't have to feel distressed, we will earn more in the future", Qiao Da just came back from the work team, saying that according to their drawings, the work team offered one hundred and twenty taels of labor materials.
Qiao Da is still thinking a few months ago, how could he give this one hundred and twenty taels out at once, he felt distressed when he thought about it, no, he went home depressed and told Hua Banxia about it.
Hua Banxia also felt that the price was a bit high, and in a poor village like Qiaoli Village, it was only a dozen or twenty taels for the villagers to build a house by themselves.
But the one built in Banxia is larger than any in the village, and the design is very exquisite, and there are many that can be used for multiple purposes in one room, but one hundred and twenty taels is indeed a little more expensive.
"Let's make a shelter from the wind and rain, why do we have to spend a lot of silver", Qiao Da was depressed.
In fact, it is normal for Qiao Da to have this kind of thought, he has been in a state of not having enough food and clothing all his life, where did he ever think that one day he would have the opportunity to enjoy things other than food and clothing, he didn't dare to think about it!
"Uncle, the eldest brother and the third brother are your children, and the eldest uncle is your wife who has been with you for 20 years, and you have never given them anything better in your life, don't you feel guilty?" Hua Banxia changed her words, although she knew that saying this might hurt Qiao Da's self-esteem, but this was also the most impactful to Qiao Da.
Hearing Hua Banxia say this, he was stunned, he had never enjoyed it in his life, his father, and his mother had never enjoyed anything, they had always survived like this, so he didn't think about changing it, and he wanted to give it to his wife and children.
Now hearing Hua Banxia's words, Qiao Da seems to feel that he is too useless and selfish. He felt guilty in his heart, but he had been working hard, tending to those wastelands with little hope every day, just subconsciously giving himself a comfort in his heart.
And Qiao Er is even more so, he is not separated from his eldest brother's family, partly because the family is poor, and there is a lack of houses, fields, and objects, so he can't divide them at all.
The other part is also because he thinks that there is a big brother above, and he doesn't need to make up his mind about anything, he only knows what the big brother says, and he doesn't have to think about it and bear the consequences.
But now, a fifteen-year-old niece helps them get ideas and do things everywhere, she wants to make this family better, but they have been questioning and shirking, perhaps, what they have is what they lack.
Qiao Da seemed to have figured it out all of a sudden, and glanced at his wife, son, and Qiao Er's family who had been by their side guiltily, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Hua Banxia, "Banxia, go for it!" ”
A gentle sentence can be described as the biggest support for Hua Banxia, she is just a niece with a foreign surname, but she can also make them trust themselves completely, what is this support?
"Okay, uncle, you will go to the work team again in the afternoon with the silver, and pay the deposit with them first", Hua Banxia said happily to Qiao Da, and arranged the affairs of the others.
"Big brother and second brother, you go to the city in the afternoon to look for it, buy six military tents, our house will live during the construction period, what about the others at home to pack up their things, if you want to stay, let's change to a new one!"
After a heated discussion, several elders were red with relief, the three elder brothers of Hua Banxia were just smirking happily, Qiao Le and Qiao Yi were teasing Hua Qingqing, and the three of them were innocently chatting about what happened after the house was built.
Even Qiao San, who had been dumbfounded and silent, reacted, maybe the doctor came to prick the needle tonight, maybe he was infected by everyone's laughter, he finally raised his head, his face was expressionless but there was a light in his eyes.
It wasn't until three days later that the master of the work team came to see the terrain that the people of Qiaoli Village knew that Qiao's family, who lived in the back mountain and were alienated by the villagers, was going to build a new house.
And they didn't do it themselves, the people they invited were all from the construction team, and the news spread in the village all of a sudden.
"Phew! That fox is shameless, his body is not innocent, and now even his father who came to the door has gone home, do you want to be shameless! ”
"That's right, I heard that it was Hua Banxia who forced Hua Daxi to rest, tsk, it's really unfortunate for the family!"
"What do you think, what does this Qiao Dake think, there are two big jokes left at home, and he can live with peace of mind? If my family had these two jokes, I would have chased people away with a broom."
The grain has been harvested, and regardless of whether it is good or bad, the village of Qiaoli has indeed survived the drought because of the appearance of waterwheels. Now the mother-in-law in the village has nothing to do, and they gather in the village all day and night, saying that the head of the family is short, and now their protagonists are Qiao's.
Having said that, everyone is indeed rich, and among the gossips here, there are also those who have moved their minds.
Thinking about the current situation of the Yi Qiao family, they must be holding on, there is a broken shoe at home, a slave who has been divorced, and a few older male babies, all of which are huddled together.
It would not be impossible to introduce to them those relatives in your family who had a little "defect", and maybe they could make a profit!
