After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Li Kaishan was very reliable and delivered the land deed to the homestead the next day.

Because the homestead Yan Qingqing wanted was relatively large, Li Kaishan allocated a large piece of land behind Yan Qingqing's house for her. Enough to build a three-entry yard.

Yan Qingqing gave Li Kaishan 20 taels of silver as land money, and Li Kaishan happily accepted it. The land he assigned to Yan Qingqing's family was definitely worth 20 taels of silver.

Moreover, this money is also considered as the public expense of Canghe Village. With this money, he can also repair the ancestral hall in the village.

Yan Qingqing's name was on the land deed, which was what Li Xiangping and others meant.

Yan Qingqing doesn't care about this, but for now it is most appropriate to write it under her name.

Yan Qingqing held a meeting for them while Li Xiangping and others were at home. Their family has now formed a habit that if there is any major event, the whole family will gather together to discuss the specific regulations.

The children were very happy when they heard that their family was going to build a new house, especially Li Xiangkang, who almost jumped up.

He is now six years old, and he has to sleep in the same bed with his two sisters. He is a little embarrassed to say it.

When Yan Qingqing said that he wanted to build a large courtyard with three entrances, they were even more shocked.

Li Xiangkang asked carefully: "Mom, can I have a separate room then?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Of course, you will not only have a separate room, but my mother will also arrange a study room for you.

Then don't cry because you are afraid of sleeping alone. "

Li Xiangkang blushed and retorted in a low voice: "I've grown up, so I don't know how to do it."

After saying this, Yan Qingqing took out a drawing and said: "I have drawn the details of how to build the house and what it will look like after it is built. You can take a look at it first. If you have any opinions, we will modify it."

The engineering drawings drawn by Yan Qingqing were very detailed and combined the style of modern courtyard houses. The overall style was New Chinese style, but Li Xiangping and others were destined to not understand it.

Fortunately, they could understand the renderings drawn by Yan Qingqing, so the last few children took the renderings and chattered about how beautiful the house would be after it was built, but the engineering drawings were thrown aside and no one cared about it.

Yan Qingqing glanced at the ignorant children, carefully picked up the drawings that she had spent a lot of effort to design, and shook her head.

Yan Qingqing looked at the endless discussion of several children and coughed and said: "Okay, when the house is built and you are no longer interested.

I looked at it and found that the eighth day of May was a good day to start construction.

Let’s allocate the tasks first.

The business in the city cannot be interrupted. During this period, the business of Lu Xiashui will be left to Erlang, and the cooperation with Jinsheng Pavilion must continue. Huiniang, you need to pay more attention.

Yueniang, keep an eye on Mrs. Liu, I always feel that she has been a little unusually quiet recently.

Dalang Sanlang is responsible for our new house. We need to hire workers, order bricks and large tiles, and meet the construction deadline. All of this must be planned in advance. "

Li Xiangping and Li Xiangjian nodded after hearing this. Repairing the house was a top priority for their family, but they had to be cautious.

Li Xiangping thought for a while and said, "Mom, the yard we need to build is too big, and the two of us may not be able to handle it. Why don't we ask my third uncle to come over and help us."

Yan Qingqing nodded. After this period of investigation, she felt that Li Sanniu was acceptable.

He is down-to-earth and somewhat clever. He should be the best among the three brothers in the Li family.

Li Xinniang on the side waited for a long time but did not see Yan Qingqing assigning tasks to her, so she quickly asked: "Mom, what about me, what can I do?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "You will be in charge of the accounts, and you will record all the expenditures for our house in detail. But my mother's budget is about 200 taels, so I don't want there to be any big discrepancies.

You will also be responsible for our family’s meals during this period. "

Li Xinniang was a little surprised to hear that Yan Qingqing entrusted such an important matter to her.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Mom, I'm good at cooking, but I'm afraid I can't do well in accounting."

Yan Qingqing replied calmly: "How do you know if you can do it well before you do it? Your sister-in-law will be with me for a long time in the future, and your sister is still young. They always have the opportunity to learn, but you are different. You will be 15 years old soon. "

Li Xinniang's face suddenly turned red. There is no girl who is not pregnant. Although she experienced the leprous incident, Li Xinniang still yearns for the future.

Although Yan Qingqing felt that it would be no big deal even if Li Xinniang never got married, she could not impose her own ideas on her children.

Therefore, Yan Qingqing also wants to make plans for Li Xinniang in the future and let her learn to be a housekeeper so that she will not be fooled when she meets a scumbag in the future.

As she thought about it, Yan Qingqing felt that her old mother's heart was overflowing again.

Finally, Li Xinniang said that she was willing to give it a try and ask Yan Qingqing for advice if she didn't understand anything.

Li Xiangping went to see Li Sanniu that day. Li Sanniu immediately expressed his willingness to help and never mentioned the salary. Yan Qingqing knew it.

The next day, Li Xiangping sent out information about recruiting workers, and they paid 25 cents a day, regardless of food.

Many villagers in Canghe Village came to sign up after hearing the news. This is much better than fighting against big bags at the dock.

Although they don't care about food, the wages are high. Besides, they are from the same village, so eating at your own home is the same.

In addition to the villagers of Canghe Village, several neighboring villages also came to sign up after hearing the news.

Some lively people were afraid that they would not be able to choose when people from neighboring villages came, so they went to the village chief.

Li Kaishan couldn't let go of his feelings and had to come to Yan Qingqing to talk about the matter. Before Yan Qingqing could say anything, Li Sanniu said: "Uncle village chief, everyone knows that the house built by my second sister-in-law cost a lot of money. The labor is It is also the highest in the ten miles and eight towns.

Naturally, we also want to recruit down-to-earth and capable people. There are a few lazy people in the village that we will definitely not use. After all, no one’s money comes from the strong wind. "

Yan Qingqing glanced at Li Sanniu and thought that this brother-in-law could still get along.

Li Sanniu has made it very clear, and Yan Qingqing is not a ungrateful person.

So he also smiled and said: "Yes, uncle village chief, we are paying to recruit workers, and we definitely don't want those who usually cheat and show off.

No matter now or in the future, our family will only recruit workers with good conduct and suitable for our family.

But please excuse me, the village chief, for I must give priority to the people of Canghe Village. "

After all, Li Kaishan was the village chief, and he spoke personally. Although Yan Qingqing had his own recruitment principles, he had to speak beautifully.

Although Yan Qingqing did not agree to Li Kaishan, he gave him enough face.

Li Kaishan left with a smile on his face. After leaving, he told those who came to him to intercede Yan Qingqing's true words.

In the end, Li Kaishan said seriously: "My niece-in-law is very capable. There will be many opportunities for her family to recruit people in the future, so you must know what kind of person you are, otherwise you will not be able to catch up with any good things."

After speaking, Li Kaishan snorted and left, leaving everyone looking at each other.
