Chapter 116: A Visit to the New House
Gan Xiaotang said that he wanted to look around in the new house, so Gan Da directly lifted her and put her on his shoulder, and took her to wander around the new house, first to his own house, and from the porch on the left side of the front lawn, there was a courtyard of the same size as the second uncle's side, and there were two large water tanks in the middle of the patio.
Gan Xiaotang motioned to go over and take a look, there was nothing in the tank except water. "This is the Taiping tank, and when my father raises small fish and lotus flowers in it next year, there will be a view on the eleventh, and now there is nothing but water."
"Taiping?" Gan Xiaotang asked rhetorically.
"It's that there is water stored in it, and if there is a fire in the house, this water can extinguish the fire and keep the peace." Ganda said.
Gan Da pushed open the door, "This is Daddy's room, you are also sleeping here now, and when you grow up, the room next to Daddy is reserved for you." ”
Gan Xiaotang had to go to his room to see, there were only a few simple pieces of furniture in it, it was still the dowry that Gan Da had saved for her since Gan Xiaotang was born, and now it seems that she already feels cramped and stingy, "Dad thought that your dowry furniture still has to go to Fucheng to order, use a little better wood, and play some generous styles, so that it will not be outdated when you get married." ”
Gan Xiaotang pulled his hair in a bun when he heard this, thinking to himself My father, I am only three years old, what dowry do you say? It's too early.
"You'll be five years old when you turn the new year." Gan Da said that Gan Xiaotang was born at the end of the year, but he was one year older just after his birthday.
"It's four years old on my birthday, and my dad is stupid." Gan Xiaotang said.
"It's four years old after your birthday, isn't it five years old after the New Year?" Gan Da said, "Eleven is big in a blink of an eye, my father is really reluctant, I hope Eleven will grow up slowly." ”
Gan Xiaotang rolled her eyes, interrupting her father's sudden lyricism, and pointed with her finger to go to the backyard to see, through the connected porch is the kitchen and a row of utility rooms, the kitchen is connected by a porch and the main hall, the left side of the kitchen is a small concave courtyard, composed of two rows of side rooms and a row of two-story buildings, and there is a well in the middle of the patio, "This courtyard is mainly where your brothers live, and they will get married in the future, one person lives in a row, and it is also suitable to have three rooms, now there is only your eldest brother, and the third brother lives here, The fifth brother and the sixth brother lived together in the house behind Ah Weng, and the ninth and tenth brothers lived in the side room of Ah Weng. "Because the children of the Gan family were born one after another, they basically went to Liu Sanniang's side to sleep at the age of two or three, before putting a small bed, the two brothers slept together, and then they separated a room, but it was still in Liu Sanniang's Gan butcher's room, and now it is the same, but this room is bigger and more like a room.
When it's time to go to school at the age of seven, I will move out to live, there will be not many rooms at home, basically four people live together, and there is no bed, just a few benches on a few boards to make a large bunk, now there is no use, the room at home is enough, before they get married, live in one and use one to roll.
"But your seventh brother lives in the academy and doesn't come back often, I think he will live in our courtyard when he comes back from vacation." Ganda said, otherwise, let him sleep in the same room with Hachiro, but in fact, Shichiro doesn't come back often, and Hachiro just sleeps in a room by himself, so he won't be willing.
Gandeli was naturally unwilling, he was neither willing to squeeze a room with Golang Rokuro nor Jiulang Shilang, he ran to Tang Qian'er and said that he wanted to sleep with Twelve.
Tang Qian'er was really angry, but Gan Er hugged him and said that it would really allow him to sleep in a room alone, and if he slept with us, he would sleep with us, there were so many houses in this courtyard, Qilang estimated that he also slept in the eldest brother's yard, he was not a special case.
The brothers in the family are two or two close, and there is a lot of discussion, only Hachiro, Shichiro is different from him, and he will gradually drift away from him in the future, not as close as other brothers, Hachiro has to adapt, and they have to help him adapt when they are parents.
"You're so used to him, I see that there are so many brothers in the family, and he is the only one who is the most unproductive." Tang Qian'er said.
"If you don't have a chance, you don't have a chance, and you still think that your six sons are all promising? How is that possible. Gan Er touched Gan Deli's head and said, "We are filial to our parents and love our brothers, so it's definitely no problem to take care of ourselves." ”
Tang Qian'er said again, Gan Er covered Gan Deli's ears and didn't let him listen. "Didn't Ah Weng buy a lot of fireworks today, let's go out and play."
"It's not dark yet, what kind of fireworks are you playing?" Tang Qian'er said, "Go and play with Twelve." ”
Gan Xiaotang sat on Gan Da's shoulders and continued to visit the new home, passing through her brothers' yard is a vacant lot, there is a small door leading to the outside, against the wall to build a row of thatched houses, there are four squatting positions, on the right side of the vacant land, that is, behind the main house is a vegetable garden, there is also a well, there is a big stone slab on the side of the well, "Wash clothes here, the water for washing clothes can be watered." ”
In the past, there is a row of thatched houses, four squatting positions, the thatched house is a donkey shed on the side, it is a little big, the two donkeys in the family are a little empty inside, when the Gan butcher does, it is expected that the family will add two heads of livestock pulling carts, the side of the donkey shed is a gate that can enter and exit, it is very wide, and the donkey cart can drive directly in.
The second uncle's house is similar to his own house, but on the vacant land of his thatched house, Gan Er built two more rows of houses, and now there is only a house frame, doors and windows, and no decoration furniture has been done.
After passing through the second uncle's yard and returning to the front lawn, Zou Xiaoxi asked Gan Xiaotang to come down and walk by himself, "I also want your father to carry it at home, in order to let you ride smoothly, your family land is leveled, and you can go everywhere with your wooden carriage." ”
"This is not the first time I have come to my new home, so I let my father accompany me for fear of getting lost." Gan Xiaotang said sweetly, "I'll come down right away and ride a bike with Twelve to have a look." ”
Ganda was still a little reluctant after putting her down, "Slide slowly, be careful of the steps." ”
Tang Qian'er smiled and said, "The eldest brother feels sorry for the child, it really hurts to the bones." ”
"Both of them are the same." Zou Xiaoxi said, "After all, it is Ah Weng and Grandma who teach well." ”
"I sometimes wish he didn't spoil the kids so much." Tang Qian'er couldn't help but complain, "You said that Xiaoba made him spoil him unseemly, and he had to sleep with me when he was such an adult, these many brothers, which one is like him?" The shopkeeper also said yes, and agreed without saying a word. ”
"It's not good for you to stick to Xiaoba, it's really a drought and a waterlogging, do you know, the first time Shichiro went to the academy to study, my family didn't cry when I saw him because the child didn't want him, and I cried when I went home, feeling that I was useless, and the child didn't rely on him." Zou Xiaoxiao said.
"Big brother is so careful." Tang Qian'er said, "Qilang really doesn't miss home at all and doesn't cry? ”
"Shichiro's kid is very sluggish, and he responds very slowly to things other than studying, not as clever as Xiaohachi, I was worried that he couldn't eat or sleep well in the academy, and people didn't seem to take it seriously, but in October, I asked Saburo to send a few times the dishes made by my mother-in-law, and then I reacted to homesickness, and when I first entered the academy, I only went to study."
"It's been a few months since I reacted, and Shichiro is too slow." Tang Qian'er smiled and said, in addition to not liking to read, that Xiaoba is still very clever in other places, she has a little balance in her heart, there is no way out in reading, so go to other places to find a way, she doesn't believe it, her son will be a bad seed.
Zou Xiaoxi saw that she was no longer entangled here, and her heart was also relaxed, Qilang would be going to study in the inner house after the year, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't know that the academy study is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, Qilang's ultimate goal is to enter the fine house, enter the fine house, and the most inferior fame can also be tested for a show.
Shichirou's fame is a good thing for the family, but he has to be too strong in the past His brothers, especially cousins, are worried about emotional gaps, and it is best that Shichiro has fame, but he doesn't know anything about general affairs, and he needs his brothers to give him everything, so that the brotherly relationship will be better and stronger.
