Chapter Fifty-Nine: Divine Speed
I didn't buy the pot back yesterday, but I bought a yard in the back.
After using the morning food, Gu Erzhu was stunned by the two sons and daughters-in-law when he announced it.
Xiao Baoya covered her mouth and snickered.
"In the back?"
"Whose yard?"
Gu Erzhu and Liu smiled and didn't say anything, but they didn't give their two sons an answer.
Said to be the back, it is indeed the back.
Walking on a road between the front and back rows of courtyards that can accommodate carriages to pass, and when you reach the backyard of Gu's second grandfather's house at the end of the village, the mystery is finally solved.
At this time, Gu Wenxuan also knew whose yard he bought.
It's the Bai family.
The Bai family entered the village relatively early, and the location of the courtyard was not like that of other outdoor families with surnames on the periphery, so even his brother didn't think of which one for a while.
In addition, the Bai family rarely lives in the village, and it is not for nothing that they are staring at the Bai family's yard.
I can't help the Bai family has money, if they don't sell it, they can't rob it.
Unexpectedly, this set of yards ended up in the hands of his father.
It's in a good location.
Although it is far away from the river and the water is inconvenient, the two families also maintain a distance not far away, so as not to misunderstand that his father and mother want to stay away from the old man.
Although this is the case, his father was really hurt by the old man this time, but reputation is still needed.
No wonder his father couldn't wait even a day to go to the county seat.
When you get closer, you will see a stone courtyard wall about two meters high.
It feels safe from the outside.
The courtyard gate is in the southwest corner, with two black lacquered wooden doors and two iron rings hanging on them.
Enter the courtyard gate.
And the concierge?
Zhou Banxia was curious, and he saw the pattern inside as far as he could see.
It is very similar to the courtyard of Zhou Xiucai's house that she visited.
The area of the yard is indeed as big as Xiao Baoya said.
The front yard is the size of seven or eight yards, and the back yard is even more open.
Not counting the pigsty, cowsheds and firewood sheds, and thatched huts, there is at least one acre of land.
"How?"
Coming back from the backyard, although Gu Erzhu didn't name him directly, Zhou Banxia and Ma Shan couldn't help but nod again and again, "Dad, your vision is really good." ”
Gu Erzhu laughed heartily.
The main house facing north and south.
In the middle of the five brick houses, there is also a large boxy table.
Facing the door against the wall are two large chairs with backrests, and a table in the middle, both painted with dark paint.
"They didn't move away?" Gu Wenxuan had already helped Zhou Banxia find the answer, and as he spoke, he stepped forward to take a look, stretched out his hand and knocked, "The wood is okay." ”
"It's all for us."
Speaking of this, Gu Erzhu was even happier, thinking that the old man was still worried that he would pick up something valuable when he split up.
If it weren't for the worry that the old man came together this morning to say something about what he didn't have, he should have asked the old man to come over with him so that he could have a long experience.
Not to mention tables and chairs, even firewood knives, shovels, hoes, Uncle Bai will not take them away.
Yesterday, I said that it would be almost the same to go back with the dishes and chopsticks.
is also an old man in his fifties, Uncle Bai is still self-made, and he is atmospheric.
"Daddy, isn't their family very rich?"
Xiao Baoya thought that people hadn't come to move things yet, but when she heard that they had all been sent to her house, she asked curiously.
"Well, what do you want to say?" Uncle Bai has only made a fortune in the past two or three years, and he is buying a shop, buying a house, and buying a Zhuangzi, and there must be a family background of two or three thousand taels of silver.
But no matter how much it is, it is estimated that it is gone. Gu Erzhu looked at his daughter and thought about it, "This has little to do with whether it is very silvery, some people are generous by nature."
Dad just said your second grandfather, can you see that he is the richest person in our village? Seeing his daughter shaking her head, he laughed and said, "That's it, I can't see it."
Don't talk about you, even your grandfather doesn't believe it. Your second grandfather also has a big car shop in the city, and he sees that he still lives in an old house when he goes back to the village, who will believe it. ”
Gu Wenxuan didn't know if the little sister believed it, anyway, he didn't believe that people were still generous and left, and eight or nine times out of ten the other party owed his father any favors.
If the other party is not close to his father, or he owes his father a favor, otherwise it is impossible for his father to buy it on the same day.
Leaving his father to continue to fool the little sister, after looking at the left and right rooms, he immediately pulled Zhou Banxia out of the main room.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, needless to say, the eldest son will inevitably live in the east wing.
The three rooms in the west wing are the focus of his family's attention.
To the south of the west wing are two utility rooms for grain.
The symmetrical east wing is next to two stove rooms, and there is a well between the stove room and the south wall.
This is good, big surprise.
No need to carry water.
Gu Wenxuan didn't expect that there was actually a well here.
Thirty-five taels of silver, it's too valuable, and even the utility room and stove room are blue brick houses.
The most satisfying thing is that in addition to a few fruit trees and two flower beds in the front yard, the ground is paved with stone slabs, and I no longer worry about bringing mud into the house.
I haven't seen the West Wing yet, and the two are already satisfied with this pattern.
Inside, there is a hall in the middle, and on either side are two rooms connected by solid walls and wooden doors.
The indoor depth is not as deep as the old courtyard, but the depth of the wing room in the middle distance is rarely that long, and it is spacious enough, and the light and height alone are much stronger.
Looking at Gu Wenxuan raising his hand to jump high to measure the height, Zhou Banxia thought that he had really wronged this tall man before, and he didn't even dare to stand up straight on the kang for fear of hitting his head.
"It's five feet lower than the main house at most." Gu Wenxuan put down his hand, looked around again, and pulled Zhou Banxia to take a look at the left and right rooms first, and already had an idea in his heart.
First of all, the two utility rooms next to the south of the wing room must be occupied, and they were opened up and converted into clean rooms and storage rooms before entering the house.
Then remove the kang by the window in the north room and change it into a study, you can come to a small couch for the daughter-in-law to rest on weekdays, and he can look up and see people when he reads.
"Pretty good, right?"
Although it can't be compared to a villa, your father has tried his best to give us the best conditions, which is more enjoyable than living in the house you bought.
"Then I'll go and say hello to my brother in the afternoon."
Zhou Banxia knew that the senior brothers he was talking about were referring to a few people who did carpentry work.
This time, I can't do it myself, one person's energy is limited, and the construction period is also tight.
Just now, my father-in-law and mother-in-law mentioned that in a few days, she and her family have been married for a month, and they can move after packing up in these days.
"It just so happened that we moved here for three days, let's go to Fucheng to visit relatives." Gu Wenxuan struck with both hands, "Everything is going according to plan, perfect!" ”
Zhou Banxia laughed teasingly, "Don't be overjoyed, and forget that the head of the family is still our father." Before looking for a carpenter, it is best to discuss with everyone before acting. ”
"Good thing you reminded me." Gu Wenxuan said and smiled, looked around the room, and looked at it again, and there was nothing to see.
"Let's go, let's go out first to hear what Daddy and Mother have arranged."
That's exactly what I mean.
It's just that she thought that the two of them had been in the west wing long enough, but she didn't expect to be the first to come out, and even her mother-in-law is still walking around the main room.
"The cellar?" Gu Erzhu listened to his old son's question, and deliberately slowed down and recalled, "It's really there!" Which one, you ask? There is a cellar in the front and back yards. ”
