The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 937 The Selfish Vanity Female Supporting Girl (33)

Mother Xu glanced at the man: "Even if it's only 15, our family can't get it out now. All the money from selling cherries will arrive in the account, and if you don't spend a penny, it's only a little over 14, and you still owe a little of 15."

Originally, I thought this was already a lot. After all, I only earned [-] to [-] yuan when I sold it to purchasers in previous years.It's not bad if you can get up to [-], but if you have [-], you have to burn the incense.

This year, thanks to Yinyinla's sales in Anshi and several tourist groups, the sales doubled.

But compared with the cost of building a house, this amount of money does not seem to be much.

"I still have some money here." Xu Yin showed her parents a look at her account balance, "It adds up to enough to build a house. Don't worry about electrical appliances and furniture. I will have a sum of money in the account next month. Just help me sell Sister Chen from Cherry, she asked me to become a shareholder of her barbecue restaurant. Every quarter, I can get a dividend. It may not be a lot, but I still have ten thousand yuan a month, and I will use it to buy home appliances and furniture. Anyway, we will live by ourselves. , just add it slowly. You can pick up Grandpa back after the Chinese New Year.”

She didn't tell her parents about the unfriendly rumors she heard in her uncle's neighborhood.

Fortunately, my uncle's mother-in-law is a kind person and didn't take these words seriously, but if things go on like this, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no lumps in her heart.

And Grandpa Xu seldom goes out now because of his inconvenient legs and feet, but what if he goes downstairs one day and hears these gossip?
In the original text, he was sent to the hospital because of Yuanshen's anger, but now she would definitely not be angry with the old man.But I was afraid that the plot would be too strong, so I turned back inadvertently.

As for taking over the old man now... The old house is so damp, it will only aggravate his rheumatism.

Anyway, if there is a plan to build a new house, it is only a matter of time, so why not build it while the farming is slack.

The couple looked at each other in blank dismay: "Then why... cover it?"

"cover!"

After the family of three made up their minds, they moved the yellow sand and cement into the main room and put them outside for fear of getting wet when it rained.

A villager had an early dinner and wandered over to chat with Xu's father.

Ever since Xu Yin helped the villagers sell big cherries to Anshi, Father Xu's popularity has improved a lot. Every day after dinner, someone would come to chat with him.

When I came here today, I saw that the three of Xu's family hadn't had dinner yet, and were moving cement and sandbags into the house, so I asked casually, "Mingkang, is your family planning to repair the house?"

Father Xu couldn't hide his joyful smile and said, "No, I'm going to overturn the heavy cover."

"..."

A small town has no secrets, let alone a small mountain village with less than a hundred households.

Within two days, the news that the Xu family had made money selling cherries and was planning to build a new house spread to the whole village.

However, everyone thought that they were building bungalows. People who planted other fruit trees in the village had built houses one after another a few years ago.

But most of them are bungalows. Except the main roof is covered with tiles, the roof of the side rooms is directly covered with cement slabs as a sun terrace, which is convenient for drying in autumn.

Only a very small number of houses have been built. The most magnificent is the village head's house. His five sons built a two-story building with six rooms. The old couple and five sons have one room, with bedrooms upstairs and living downstairs , Even if the family is separated, they live together, and they are a big and harmonious family.

Wang Cuihua was very envious of such a big house, and every time she passed by the village chief's house, she would look at it more greedily.

In fact, she had saved a sum of money in her hand, which was around one hundred thousand.But the son hasn't married a wife yet. I heard that the dowry has increased again in the past two years, and I worry that I won't be able to pay the dowry after building the house. Wouldn't it delay my son's lifelong event?

Fortunately, although her house is not a building, it is also a brick house renovated eight years ago, with red bricks and white walls, which is quite respectable in the village.

Unlike Xu Mingkang’s family, who still live in an old house built in the 80s, the ground is still muddy; the windows are not double-glazed windows, but old-fashioned wooden lattice windows. Even with glass installed, they are not bright enough; Looking up, you can see the beams and tiles.

"It's an honor to build a house now?" Wang Cuihua came back from her private plot with a vegetable basket on her shoulders, and complained to her husband, "It's a waste of such a big house."

She was jealous of Xu Mingkang's homestead, and fantasized more than once that it would be her own.

Unfortunately, when she married in, Xu Mingkang's father and her father-in-law had separated.

Her father-in-law took the old house at the entrance of the village, and Xu Mingkang's father moved to the newly designated homestead at the foot of the mountain. Because the location was remote, there was no family there at that time. The village cadre compensated him and allocated an extra piece of land for him.

Although it is far away from the entrance of the village, it is close to the back mountain, and several families have been added to the surrounding area. It is not deserted but also spacious, much more comfortable than the cramped and narrow courtyard of her house.

"If that piece of homestead was replaced by my home, I would build a few more rooms, build a courtyard wall to enclose the land, raise more chickens, and sell them in the city during the Chinese New Year. Shanshan said, now the city Farm-raised chickens and ducks are very welcome, and the price is very high.”

"You are not Mingkang's wife, how do you know that his house only has three rooms? Maybe it will be expanded." Xu Mingfu put down his pipe and rubbed the tobacco leaves.

"Will his house be expanded? Impossible!" Wang Cuihua was furious when she heard that.

There are only three main rooms in my house, if Xu Mingkang's house builds four rooms, wouldn't it surpass my own house?When I think that my family's limelight will be overshadowed by poor relatives, I feel very unhappy.

"At most one small wing room can be built, it's impossible to build four! By the way, why hasn't old man Xu come back yet? Are you really planning to retire at Mingrui's house?"

"Why do you care so much about other people? It's not your father-in-law, so it's not your turn to take care of the elderly."

"I'll just ask." Wang Cuihua curled her lips, "Their two brothers have a good relationship. If we are the boss, let the father-in-law live with your brother? Try writing Wang Cuihua's name upside down if you can live for the first half of the year."

"..."

Xu Mingfu's face turned red, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "The name Hua Cui Wang is not good."

"……roll!"

……

Just when everyone in the village thought that Xu Yin's family was going to build three bungalows with bricks and tiles on the original foundation, Xu Yin brought back all the building materials needed to build the house.

In the morning, I took cherries to Anshi, and in the evening, I took building materials home. The carts moved like ants.

In the pile house of bagged building materials, there is an open space next to the pile house of bare cement bricks, stones, stones, etc.

The vacant lot is also her homestead.

This time, the house will be expanded from the original three rooms to four rooms with a depth of 12 meters. The foundation needs to be expanded a lot. Xu Yin gradually transplanted the fruit trees next to the house to the edge of the house site. .

According to Xu's father, the fruits of these fruit trees are sour and astringent, they are not worth eating, and they still take up space if they are kept, so just cut them down and forget it. Why bother to transplant them.

But Xu Yin intends to keep the graft.

It doesn't taste good now, but it doesn't mean it won't taste good after grafting. If you cut it off, it will really be gone.

Take the time to pick the fruits from the trees, make wine with the big ones, and make candied fruit with the small ones.

By the way, doesn't she have a fruit dryer?It can be baked into dry slices and made into tea.

It is sour and astringent when eaten raw, but it is more fragrant and palatable with a little sour taste when dried and made into tea, so it is not considered a waste.
