Winter afternoon.

The sun is shining.

There are occasional vehicles speeding along the main road of the country.

The sound of the lady's motorcycle engine of "woo woo~" fell into Fang Nian's ears together with the sound of "woo hoo~".

As far as the eye could see, the trees on both sides were rapidly receding.

The winter wind blew through his exposed hands, face, ears, and whistling backwards.

"Xi~"

Fang Nian moved his nose while occasionally pulling away his left hand to wrap his clothes.

Fang Nian, who has always prepared with both hands, has no hat or gloves.

I had to feel the winter wind bluntly and bleakly.

Thirty-seven minutes, Fang Nian arrived at the entrance of the village, drove off the hardened road, and went down to Maoba.

Clattering and bumping in the dirt, down the river, and weaving paths past the floor in front of the neighbor's house.

Crossing the mound on the south side of the old Fang family, Fang Nian looked at him for a moment, and then pinched the brakes.

"Squeak~" sound.

The motorcycle came to a screeching halt.

The original hut is gone.

Some weedy mounds, both high and low, were also bulldozed to create a large clearing.

There is a little bit of Fang Nian's familiar appearance.

"Brother~"

Hearing the sound, Fang Xin quickly ran out of the side door, shouting in a long voice.

After a circle around the motorcycle, Fang Xin chirped, "Can you take me out with your car?"

"Dad doesn't know how to ride, it's slow. ”

Fang Nian pinched his face: "You still dislike it?"

"I don't understand the words I learned from. ”

Fang Xin took out his pocket and took out a piece of candy: "Do you eat sugar, my mother went to Daping to buy it." ”

"You eat it yourself. ”

At this time, Fang Zhengguo also walked out: "You also bought a Honda." ”

"How much did it cost?"

"Five thousand six. Fang Nian replied.

Fang Zhengguo sighed and didn't say anything more.

Fang Nian thought that Comrade Fang Zhengguo himself might have bought too much.

After handing over the motorcycle to Fang Zhengguo for tossing, Fang Nian and Fang Xin returned to the house.

Lin Feng sat in the living room knitting a sweater for Fang Xin, and looked up at Fang Nian: "Fang Nian, did you take the monthly exam this time?"

"No, it's postponed until next month. Fang Nian shook his head.

"Oh. Lin Feng responded, obviously disappointed.

"How does it feel to go to and from school on a motorcycle?"

Fang Nian blinked his eyes and said calmly: "Let's put the motorcycle at home first." ”

Lin Feng: "?"

Seeing the confusion on Lin Feng's face, Fang Nian exhaled and spit out one word: "Cold." ”

Fang Nian felt that he had not completely adapted to being reborn.

Because he actually forgot about the magic attack of the southern winter.

I don't know what the hell is going on, but when I ride, the wind always blows through the flesh that is close to my body.

It's not yet the season to bake the fire.

"Wow!"

Lin Feng looked at Fang Nian with a strange expression: "Do you remember the winter vacation when you just started your first year of high school?"

"It's such a cold winter, you are riding someone else's motorcycle, and you are about to take off, why didn't you say that it was cold, it is only the eleventh month of the lunar calendar. ”

Fang Nian was silent.

After a while, Fang Nian quietly changed the topic: "Has the approval of the homestead come down?"

"It's down. Lin Feng didn't break down Fang Nian either, and then changed the topic.

"I've measured it with you, the length shouldn't be enough for four lanes, if you want to build it, you have to demolish the current house and ...... it."

Lin Feng's tone was not only hesitant but also dazed.

After really starting to prepare, Fang Zhengguo and Lin Feng once again felt the complexity of building a house.

If the current house is demolished, it happens to be a stairwell, and it is impossible to go upstairs, so sleeping becomes a trouble.

Fang Nian thought for a while and said, "Let's go outside and have a look first." ”

Lin Feng took the ball of yarn, shouted Fang Zhengguo, and walked out of the side door with Fang Nian.

"Dad, what's the situation? ”

Fang Nian didn't rush to say his proposal, but looked at Fang Zhengguo.

"The main thing is that the length of the left and right is not enough, the length of the front and back is enough, according to what you said, there is enough space to build a yard. ”

Fang Zhengguo explained.

"If you demolish the current house, it may cause the whole house to crack, so if you don't slow it down, I'll go back next year to make some money......"

Fang Nian asked, "What if you dig up a little bit of Zhushan?" ”

“......”

After a few words, Fang Nian understood the main contradiction at present.

Money.

"If some are dug up on the Zhushan side, some will also be dug up in the back mountain, and in order to prevent landslides, the wall will be built, and no matter what house is built in the countryside, there must always be a miscellaneous house with chickens, ducks and geese......

Lin Feng explained slowly.

"The house hasn't started to be built yet, so it will cost 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and if you can't say it, it's 100,000 yuan......"

The construction cost of the miscellaneous house is not high, and it can be done with 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

The main thing is the slope protection wall, which is very expensive.

And if you want to build a yard, you have to build a slope wall in front of the house to prevent the floor from collapsing in the direction of the field in front of the house.

After all, the main building has not been carried out, and hundreds of thousands of them cannot be stopped.

Fang Nian said with a smile: "The problem of money is easy to solve, and in ten days, this month's manuscript fee will be received......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Feng: "I always have to leave you money to go to college, even if you don't buy a house, you have to prepare money for marriage." ”

"I have a good deal for these things, don't worry about me. ”

Fang Nian said, and then changed the topic: "It just so happened that I printed out the design drawing, you can take a look." ”

"This is the overall rendering, with the front and back yards, the designer has calculated the cost, the main body will not exceed 400,000, including decoration. ”

“......”

The design of the drawings takes into account the customs here in Maoba, and a whole lane is divided into a hall to worship ancestral tablets and worship on weekdays.

The three-storey Chinese-style house, with blue bricks and black tiles, is elegant and dignified.

It is the appearance of many Chinese's fantasy houses.

Lin Feng and Fang Zhengguo held the drawings, amazed, and gradually had expectations for the future.

Looking at the picture, Lin Feng would occasionally suddenly say one or two inexplicable words.

It's completely unconscious, and the preface doesn't match the afterword, so it's hard to understand the meaning.

After the two of them quieted down, Fang Nian said seriously.

"This money is just earned by me writing casually, and since I can earn it now, I will definitely be able to do it in the future, so you don't have to worry too much about my future. ”

Fang Zhengguo pondered for a long time and said: "Actually, I didn't think it was necessary to build a new one, decorate it, it's a big deal to dig a toilet, and now this house is really good." ”

Lin Feng echoed: "Indeed, it looks comfortable." ”

Fang Xin didn't understand this, but she was also happy: "The new house must be beautiful." ”

“......”

Fang Nian smiled, occasionally echoed, and did not express his opinion again.

A thatched hut that has endured wind and rain for decades is gone, and the house that has lived in it for more than ten years may have to be demolished.

And the cost of the budget is getting more and more terrifying.

This made Fang Zhengguo and Lin Feng feel a little hesitant in their hearts.

Don't demolish the old house now.

The dignified mansion gave them anticipation for their future life, and the overall budget was taken into account by their son, and they finally felt a little at ease......

...... The next morning, the sound of the excavator echoing into the dam.

twisted around to the south side of the old Fang's house.

Fang Zhengguo called three or four neighbors to help cut down trees and bamboo.

"Third child, your family is going to do a big construction!"

"Such a big foundation, oh yo, third brother, your house is a bit big. ”

“......”

Fang Zhengguo took out the Hibiscus King and distributed them one by one, and by the way, he took a rendering for everyone to see.

"The design drawings that Habao found in Nian said that they wanted to build them like this......"

After seeing the drawings, everyone's envy deepened.

"Your family is really powerful. ”

"This drawing is really beautiful!"

"The third child really made money, and he smoked the king of hibiscus. ”

“......”

Fang Zhengguo hurriedly responded with two sentences: "Please ask the master to dig the soil, buy two packs of hair, and usually smoke white sand." ”

Indeed, Fang Zhengguo is still a bit stingy in nature.

Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn't have been reluctant to even have a cigarette when he was told by Lin Feng.

So even if there is 400,000 yuan clearly lying on the bank card now, Lin Feng still bought a hibiscus king at home, and he will occasionally take it out to fill the façade.

I still smoke a pack of gold and white sand for 9 yuan.

"Fang Nian, while you are at home, I called the master to come over and ask him to look at the construction drawings, and you can also remember what you don't understand. ”

After lunch, the neighbors went to help cut down trees and chop bamboo, and Lin Feng found Fang Nian, who was watching the excitement.

Fang Nian nodded, this matter was originally proposed by him.

But an afternoon's work was wasted on drawings.

After the master saw the drawings, he was actually a little unsure, there was no such beautiful house in the countryside.

"If this living room is to go straight to the second floor, the height of the empty floor will be almost seven meters, don't you need to change it?

You can finish this small platform on the second floor and make it into a living room, divided into two floors, and in the future, when you grow up and get married, you will live on the first floor separately from your parents. ”

Fang Nian explained with a smile: "It is enough to have one in the living room, and the load-bearing is calculated on the construction drawings. ”

“......”

Fang Nian basically answered the questions raised by the master.

Because at the beginning of the design, he considered the construction level of the countryside, and he actually had the experience of building a house once.

In the past, there were regrets in the design and construction of that villa.

This time it's all changed.

Including the addition of the living room to make the living room appear particularly spacious......

This afternoon, there was a shortage of bamboo on the bamboo mountain, and there was just enough space to vacate it.

Fang Nian also finished answering his master's doubts and listened to a basket of praise......

...... After a tiring day, dinner is extraordinarily fragrant.

Especially Fang Xin, who rarely eats in large gulps.

She was the youngest, and she was tired of being the first.

Her footprints almost trampled all over the entire Lao Fang family, up and down.

Fang Nian thought to himself, 'It's better if you run just around, your body is a little cleaner!'

During the meal, Lin Feng discussed with Fang Zhengguo and went to find the earth master to see the direction of the hall.

Looking at the feng shui of the mansion in the countryside is relatively simple.

It's just a matter of determining where the center of the hall is heading.

After determining the orientation, a small wooden stick will be inserted in the front and back of the hall, and when the master starts to lay the foundation, he will draw the strings to determine the direction of the foundation of the entire house.

It's a 180-degree plane in total, and in fact there aren't many angles that can be used.

For example, as far as the old Fang family is concerned, it is impossible to sit due north and face due south.

Only a suitable southwestern spot can be found in the west-facing direction.

Fortunately, the angle of the old house of the old Fang family is not on the north-south line of the plane, but on the northeast and southwest.

“......”

After saying a few words about the house, Lin Feng looked at Fang Nian and said.

"When are you going to leave tomorrow?"

"Whatever, it's a car anyway. Fang Nian said.

Lin Feng continued: "Then you will go to grandma's house in the morning?"

"I'll kill a chicken in the morning, and you can send it over. ”

Fang Nian thought for a while: "In that case, tomorrow I will ride over and take a car directly from my grandmother to Tangli." ”

Lin Feng hummed: "It's okay, let your dad follow, he rode back, your grandmother's house has no place to put it." ”

“......”

Originally, Fang Nian didn't plan to go to his grandmother's house again this time.

There is not much time for holidays, and in winter, it is cold to ride a motorcycle, and I really don't want to sit on the No. 11 bus.

But since there's something to go, let's take a trip.

The next morning, Fang Nian hummed and rode on a motorcycle to the countryside of Weinan.

Fortunately, this time I took a pair of labor protection gloves from home and wore a motorcycle hat, so it was not so cold.

However, the north wind is still blowing from the intimate flesh.

Cold.

However, Fang Nian felt that Comrade Fang Zhengguo, who was sitting in the back, was not cold at all, and he was still wearing an autumn suit.

After Fang Zhengguo said hello to Fang Nian's grandmother, he left without taking a sip of tea, and there were indeed many things to invite people at home.

Fang Nian carried his bag, carried the chopped chicken, put it on the cupboard, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Grandma, the chicken is here for you." ”

"Your mom is really, let you come and send it. ”

The old man first babbled a few words.

"It's cold on the bike right now. ”

Fang Nian smiled and waved his hand: "Just come over for a meal and go to school." ”

"Eat two bites at noon, put the chicken in the rice pot in the afternoon and stew it in the evening, and drink the chicken soup in the evening. ”

Of course, the old man didn't think it would work, but in the end he couldn't get rid of it, so he agreed.

He said, "Don't give me any more money this time." ”

"You give me money every time you come, and your mother will say that you are still building a house at home!"

Fang Nian laughed: "The money I earn myself, my mother can't control it, when my house is built, I will take you to live, and then I won't give you money, let my mother buy it for you." ”

Then he said, "Even if you eat meat once every two days and buy something else, a thousand yuan should be spent." ”

The old man couldn't shirk it again, so he had to take the 1,000 yuan he had prepared next year.

In fact, if only Fang Nian gave the money, according to Fang Nian's rounding algorithm, there would indeed be no problem at all.

Eating meat is still very expensive.

And although the elderly are in good health, they may occasionally have a cold and cold, and infusion injections cost money.

Lunch was just a meat dish and a vegetable, and the old man tightly sandwiched the meat into Fang Nian's bowl, this time it was Fang Nian's turn and couldn't get rid of it.

“......”

Before leaving, Fang Nian looked back at the old man who was watching him on the porch, and could clearly see the folds on his face that were piled up with a satisfied smile.

A sentence suddenly welled up in Fang Nian's heart-

"All my yearnings. ”

======

The first one paid to break the bowl, rushed and rushed.
