The rooster cries brightly, and the new year has a new atmosphere.

Smoke rose from the room, Jin was busy preparing for breakfast, two small tables in the courtyard were side by side, and Yama Tao and Sanzhu shook their heads and followed Shan Erlang to study.

The two-bedroom room doesn't even have a window, which is really not suitable for early reading, and the large room is spacious but sits south and faces north, and the light is dim during the day.

Although it was a little cold in the yard, it was okay to put a brazier in the middle, that is, the faces of the two dolls were blown red by the cold wind.

Seeing that Sanzhu's hand holding the pen was trembling, Yamajiro stopped, "Eat breakfast first, and then go into your room to learn calligraphy when it is warmer." ”

It just so happened that the Jin family had also finished breakfast, wiped his hand on his coat, and said in a throat: "Sanzhu, ask your father and brothers to come back for dinner." ”

When the big room and the second room were affectionately crowded together and began to eat a hearty breakfast, Du Shi came out with the grinding mountain spring flowers on the side of the main house.

Without Jin's care, Du and her two children naturally can no longer stretch out their hands to open their mouths, she feels sorry for Shan Saburo's hand used to read and write, and she refuses to pick up the housework that she has not done for many years, so she can only let Shan Chunhua, who has never cooked at the age of ten, start to learn, and the reputation is to marry someone in the future.

In the cold weather, she put her hand into the ice water and was shivering, Shan Chunhua listened to Du's nagging with her left ear, and listened to the excitement of the second room of the big house with her right ear, and felt more and more aggrieved.

After pouring more rice, she was scolded by the unhappy Du Shi for being a loser, Shan Chunhua threw the bowl in her hand into the pot, and her eyes were full of tears: "Mother, you used to say that I don't need to learn this, I am beautiful, the third brother can be an official in the future, I can marry a good family as long as I know some words!" ”

"It used to be before!" Du Shi was so distressed when he saw the large handful of rice sprinkled into the water that he twitched, raised his hand and slapped Shan Chunhua directly, "Your brother is going to take the county exam in the spring, so you can't save snacks!" You are so big for nothing, Siya can cook before the stove is high, and you are still here to make a mistake for the old lady! ”

"Siya Siya, you all think she is good, so why do you sell her, it's better to sell me into the Zhao Mansion, being an aunt's wife is better than being angry here!" For the first time in his life, Shan Chunhua was beaten, covered his face and yelled, turned his head and ran out.

Du Shi was so angry that he slapped his thigh, shouting one after another to create evil.

Shan Tao, who was cooking in the big house, looked at the three elder brothers who were eating on the bright side, but actually raised their ears, and sighed, there must be more troubles in the main house in the future, and it is not good for the three and a half children of the big house to hear too much about the Du family's idea of educating people.

She swallowed the porridge clean, put down the bowl and said, "Uncle, Dad, when are we going to build a new house?" ”

The expansion of new houses is the next major goal of the second house after the separation of the big house.

The current mountain house is too crowded, this house has been built since the time when the Wang family was still there, and then one after another Tianding, Du Shi refused to expand.

Now the second room still has more than ten taels of silver in his hand, and the big house's own savings plus this separation are also a lot, and the two families are enough to build a decent house.

"You're in such a hurry, let's eat and help my dad draw drawings after dinner." Shan Erlang grabbed the strong man with a smile, and by the way, he also brought the second pillar who was already good at some handiwork, and the third pillar was given a half-day off.

"In the past two days, the villagers have been idle, our family's field is in Nanshan, and it is convenient to cut down trees, brother, you estimate well, and find your sister-in-law to get the money."

Shan Dalang wiped his mouth clean after eating, and continued to work in the field with the big pillar, he is a diligent person, and he wants to make more fertilizer than other families when he grasps the gap between these farms, and he can only collect more grain next year when the land is good.

As soon as the separation of the family was over, the Jin family was completely relieved about the second room, and agreed to it.

The mountain family field is thin, but the ancestral house occupies a good area, just because it is close to the end of the village, and the end of the village is close to the South Mountain, the land is not flat, and now the remaining large piece of land is much higher than the current house.

Erzhu looked at this vacant land, scratched his head and said: "Second uncle, it's not easy for us to build a house here, and the current house can't be lost, so you can't be high and low, right?" ”

As for architecture, Shan Tao has only seen the magnificent palace, and the best house in Aoyama Village is only the blue brick house of the village chief's house, so he really does not have any reference opinions.

"I have an idea, Erzhu, you can help your uncle figure out if it works."

Yamajiro first used a wooden stick with a measured length as a measuring tool, roughly circled a range, and then picked up a small piece of charcoal that had been burned to make charcoal and sketched on the straw paper.

Soon there was a peculiar shape of the small building on the papyrus, a total of two floors, the upper one side was built against the hillside, the other three sides were suspended by pillars, and the lower floor was empty, and a few short fences were drawn.

Looking at the small building that he had never seen before, Shan Tao's eyes widened, "Is there still a house built in the air?" ”

"I haven't seen this either, second uncle, what are you painting, how can there be a house that is not built on the ground." Erzhu is also confused, although he did not formally learn carpentry, but at the beginning, he followed Shan Dashi, a grandfather, and also participated in several errands to help people build houses, and he had never seen such a style.

"This is called a stilted building, a total of two floors, the top lives people, the bottom can be used to raise livestock, ventilation and drying, and it is also very strong to build against the mountain." Shan Erlang first explained his concept, and then touched the back of his head, he remembered that the stilted building was a prototype in ancient times, and later generations also became a minority characteristic, according to the production level of the Mu Dynasty, and it was in a mountainous territory, it should not have appeared yet.

"What are you three doing here?" Just when the three of them were at a loss, Uncle Sun came over from the main house, still carrying two wild animals in his hands.

"Brother Sun, you came just in time." Shan Erlang's eyes lit up when he saw Uncle Sun, he knew that Uncle Sun was not an ordinary hunter, he must have seen a lot of things, and he didn't care that people were here to pay New Year's greetings, so he handed over his drawings first, "Look, have you ever seen such a house?" ”

"It's .... Stilted building? I heard that there are many such houses in the Miaojiang area. Uncle Sun glanced at it and told Yamanjiro the answer, "What, are you going to build like this?" ”

After determining that there was such a building in this era, Yamajiro spoke his thoughts in detail, in his opinion, the ancestral house of the Shan family is backed by the mountain, and the stilted building is really suitable.

Uncle Sun also nodded after listening, "It's good, our land is tidal, and it's more comfortable to live across the land." However, if you want to build this, it is almost impossible to rely on the villagers in the village, and you have to hire special craftsmen to do it. ”

Asking for a craftsman, Uncle Sun naturally mentioned it, and naturally he could help introduce it, but he only asked about their budget, and then kept it, and then said what he meant.

"These two you keep the tooth sacrifice, the cat's full moon wine, I discussed it with my daughter-in-law, so I simply postponed it for a double month, and then my brother and daughter-in-law also came back, just in time to be able to eat wine."

The cat refers to the male baby that Uncle Sun's daughter-in-law is difficult to give birth to, because of the dystocia, he gave a cheap name as a nickname, and the younger sister-in-law refers to Du Yingqiu, the life-saving benefactor.

Naturally, Yamajiro would not shirk this matter, and he also responded in one bite.
