An Jinchen calculated the silver stored at home, and in the two or three months of selling braised meat, he could save more than ten taels of silver every month.

In addition, the money from the sale of those wild boars is now about sixty taels, and there is no problem in building a blue brick house.

An Chuxia's family wanted to rebuild the house and let Mu Tan know, so when An Jinchen carried a piece of braised meat to the village chief to buy a homestead, Mu Tan also followed.

An Jinchen finally spent six taels of silver to buy a large homestead in the west of the village, and the surrounding area added up to almost two or three acres.

After Mu Tan waited for him to finish buying, he bought a homestead adjacent to their house from the village chief.

It is a little smaller than the homestead An Jinchen bought, about one or two acres.

This time, the house to be built by their family was designed by An Chuxia himself, and some modern and practical renovations were added to the original building of the ancient house.

For example, a place to take a bath, and a toilet.

The yard is also relatively large, with a place to grow vegetables and a few flower ponds.

In early summer, there was also a place to plant grape trellises and wisteria.

In this way, a stone table and a stone chair are placed underneath, and you can leisurely drink tea and read a book.

The eaves of the house are also stretched forward, so that when it rains and snows, they will not step on a foot of mud as soon as they come out.

After Mu Tan saw the drawings drawn by An Chuxia, she wanted to live and die the same as what her family had built.

What makes An Chuxia even more speechless is!

The house built by Mu Tan actually had a wall with his house, and there was not even a dripping eaves in the middle, so they were connected together.

Fortunately, after the two houses were built, a courtyard wall was built in the middle, otherwise I would have thought it was a house.

Just after An Chuxia's house was built, he invited a few well-connected families to warm the house.

Because the family is now in the braised meat business, the economy is relatively well-off, and the warm house banquet of An Chuxia's family has more meat dishes.

Among them, several family members who came to help, such as the second grandmother Hu Shi, pulled An Chuxia aside.

said earnestly, "Let them have money and don't spend it so indiscriminately, they are all close to others, just have a few meat dishes, and there is no need to spend so much." ”

An Chuxia smiled and nodded in agreement, only saying that this time the chicken, duck and fish meat had been bought, and it would be bad if they were not made and eaten.

I just said that I won't do it again next time.

The second grandmother was relieved to see her so taught.

also knew that the things had been bought back this time, and the two brothers and sisters couldn't eat so much, so in the end, they could only make a banquet for guests.

An Chuxia saw the big and strong couple on the table, with a slightly depressed and decadent face.

I can't help but be stunned!

At that time, when she first wore it, it was the clothes that Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law had changed, and although she was in a daze and didn't fully wake up, she still recognized Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law's voice.

Because the voice of the big strong daughter-in-law is not as crisp and delicate as other women, but a low and hoarse neutral one.

After the warm house banquet, An Jinchen and a few good brothers helped clean up and return the table and bench.

An Chuxia and Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law were cleaning pots and pans and wiping the stove in the kitchen.

The two of them were working and chatting, and the topic slowly came to the situation of their current life.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao, recounted expressionlessly with a somewhat dark face.

After Da Zhuang was injured in the landlord's house, one leg would be lame if he walked fast, and he would not be able to go out to do odd jobs to earn money in the future.

Several brothers and sisters-in-law in the family thought that he was a drag and separated the family.

Because there are many brothers in the family, they are not wealthy, and their parents follow the eldest to support the elderly, so there are few things to give to the brothers below.

When they split up, not only did they not get much of anything, but they also let them pay off the debts of Da Zhuang's injuries.

Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law finally asked a little embarrassed: "Xiao Xia, can you lend us the old house you lived in for a while?" ”

Because there were many brothers in Da Zhuang's family, when they divided the family, they did not get a place to live, and they did not have the money to build a house by themselves.

Now the two of them still live in a west room on the other side of the old house, and listen to the sister-in-law beating the dog and scolding the chicken every day.

The in-laws and eldest brother only pretended not to hear, and the sister-in-law squeezed them.

Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law really doesn't want to live like this every day, so she will be cheeky to say goodbye to the early summer.

After the kitchen was cleaned up, An Chuxia fetched a basin of water, and she and her daughter-in-law washed it.

An Chuxia pulled Zhao into her room, a high room with large bright windows.

The furniture was only the simplest cabinet and bed, and there was a pot of wildflowers on the windowsill.

But this simple everything gives people a very comfortable feeling.

After the two sat down, An Chuxia poured a glass of water for Zhao, and then said: "That thatched house is not our house in the first place, how can we call the shots."

A few days ago, my brother and sister moved to a new house and returned the old house to the village.

If the sister-in-law and the eldest brother want to live in, they still have to ask the village chief. ”

When Zhao heard that the house had been returned to the village, he couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, and his face also brought a touch of sadness.

Although the village chief is not a bad person, he is not a good talker.

The two of them have nothing now, and they go to borrow the empty house left in the village to live, and I am afraid that the village chief may not agree.

Just when Zhao was stunned, her palms sank.

"Natsu-chan... This... This is?! ”

Zhao looked at the white silver ingot in his palm and asked blankly.

"My sister-in-law took it back to buy some things and then went to the village chief to borrow a house, maybe the village chief would agree.

The rest of the silver, my sister-in-law will use it first, and I will pay it back when my sister-in-law and the big strong brother are rich! ”

Zhao looked at An Chuxia with tears in his eyes, in the most difficult time for their husband and wife, the in-laws, the brothers and sisters of the mother's family.

are afraid that their poor couple will get involved with them, and they will avoid themselves and Da Zhuang.

Unexpectedly, her husband's good brothers and sisters reached out to them, which made her feel ungrateful in her heart.

"Okay, when my sister-in-law has it in the future, I will definitely pay you back!"

Zhao is also a crisp and crisp character, without grinding and chirping, she put this gratitude in her heart.

An Chuxia found that Zhao was a good person, with a sharp temperament and a tenacity.

So I thought about helping them as a couple.

"Sister-in-law, I have a few snacks here, which can be sold at a stall on the official road to and from the market.

However, it will be very tiring to do a snack business, and I don't know if my sister-in-law is willing to do it. ”

Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law Zhao didn't expect such a good thing, and hurriedly said: "Yes!" How could it be unwilling! ”

In the following days, as long as An Chuxia is free, Zhao will come to learn from her how to make dumplings, chaos, and fritters.

After that, Da Zhuang and his wife began to start a food stall business, and the two of them also got the consent of the village chief and lived in the original old house of An Chuxia's family.

Life is slowly getting better.
