Chapter 49 This is my house

Is this my house?

Yu Hongdou looked at the circular courtyard house which had already taken shape with her mouth wide open, wondering if her father had hired a city construction group.

Entering from the main entrance, there is a gatehouse with a hole in the middle and two spacious rooms on both sides of the hole.

After entering the courtyard through the doorway, there is a straight road leading directly to the main door of the main house.

In the middle of the main house is the main hall, and on the east and west sides of the main hall are two rooms. One should be the bedroom of Yu Sanlang and Xu, and it is unknown what the other one is used for.

Next to the main house on the east and west sides are two side rooms which are slightly further back than the main house. These should be the rooms of Yu Song and Yu Hongdou.

On the east and west sides of the courtyard, there were still side rooms, but each was built with three rooms.

Not only are there more houses, but the main house, wing rooms and gatehouse are all connected by corridors, so that even if it rains or snows, the main house can lead directly to other rooms.

At present, the walls of all the houses have been built, and the corridors are also being finished, waiting for the next step of laying beams and tiles to complete the roof.

"Dad, why has there been such a big change?" Yu Hongdou ran up to her father, who was standing with his hands on his hips and talking to a group of villagers, and asked.

How much does it cost? Isn't it necessary to build this house so well? She won't want to leave by then.

"Well, I hadn't thought about it, but what Master Liu and the others said makes sense." I couldn't resist the temptation! Yu Sanlang didn't say this, but just gave his daughter a knowing look.

Oh, I understand, Yu Hongdou nodded.

If you have the money to buy a house with a private yard, who would care about a two-family house with one elevator?

"The front eaves of this house are called the front porch. With the front porch, rain and snow won't hit the windows, so the house will naturally be warm. Moreover, the eaves of this porch are short and open, so there is no need to worry about affecting sunlight and ventilation." Yu Sanlang continued to learn and practice with his fellow villagers.

"That makes sense. I see. We can also dry vegetables and grains under the front eaves. I'll build one when I build my house." One of the villagers nodded with satisfaction.

Yu Sanlang winked at his daughter again and said, "See, it's not that your father can't handle the matter."

Yu Hongdou covered her mouth and laughed. She stopped disturbing her father and ran to her mother to ask for food.

After eating a piece of meat scraps, Yu Hongdou glanced around and found that her eldest aunt was not there. She quickly told her mother and second aunt about what she had just found with Liu.

"..." Xu and Sun were speechless because Liu and the child in her belly had split up the family, and the first wife lost money, and the result was this.

It's really sad.

"Do you think my sister-in-law can take these ten taels of silver?" Sun nudged her sister-in-law Xu with her elbow.

"It depends on whether Liu is pregnant with a boy or a girl." Xu has become bolder these days and whispered to her second sister-in-law.

Yu Hongdou sat in front of the stove with her chin in her hands, her eyes moving to the land temple on the back hill of the house, wondering how her brother and the others were doing now.

"Oh, sister-in-law, I remembered something. If Hongdou hadn't come, I would have almost forgotten it." When Xu saw her dazed daughter, she suddenly remembered what she had thought last night.

She looked around, moved a little closer to her second sister-in-law, and whispered something in a low voice.

Hongdou, the queen of eavesdropping, was sitting between the two of them. She didn't even have to prick up her ears to hear the whispers between her mother and her second aunt.

Her mother actually wants to introduce a guy to her second cousin!

As she listened, Yu Hongdou felt that the person her mother wanted to introduce to her second cousin seemed okay?

The person that Xu wanted to tell Hu Tao about was none other than the child of her brother's wife, Fu's sister, and also Fu's nephew.

The man is nineteen years old this year. He is the second son in the family. He went to school for a few years, but failed the examination for the title of scholar two years ago and gave up.

He originally worked as an accountant in Wu'an County. Later, his master died and the shop was sold, leaving him without a job.

However, he had saved some money over the years, and with the help from his family, he bought a house on the outskirts of Wu'an County and opened a stall at the dock, where he sold some food and toys that passers-by could use, and also took on work like doing accounting and writing letters for others.

"Originally, the marriage should have been arranged a long time ago, but he was too focused on his studies to worry about delaying his marriage. When he failed the exam and stopped studying, his father passed away again. According to the official date, he will officially be in mourning at the end of this month." Xu sighed.

"The widowed mother in the family is sensible and divided the family property early on. She and the eldest son, so she doesn't have to live with her mother-in-law after she gets married. The only disadvantage is that she may have to go out to work with the stall after marriage." Xu explained the pros and cons to her sisters-in-law.

The reason why Xu brought up this matter was mainly because her husband had been trying to win over the second wife recently. She understood what her husband meant and was also thinking that when he went out to do business in the future, the family would be taken care of by the second wife.

Another thing is that Xu felt that her niece Hu Tao was a good son, diligent and efficient. It happened that her sister-in-law Fu mentioned her nephew, and for some reason, Xu felt that the two were a good match.

Yu Hongdou was listening nearby and thought that the man’s conditions were okay.

Yu Hongdou, who came from a different economic society, thought it was okay, and Sun thought it was even better.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Sun knew her daughter's character best. Hu Tao was very lively. Compared to staying at home weaving after getting married, she would definitely prefer to go out and set up a stall to meet people.

"I think it's a good idea. I'll go talk to Hutao at home. I'm scared after what happened with Hazelnut." Sun didn't bite the bullet and planned to go back and ask her daughter first.

"That's as it should be. After all, it's a big deal. If things go wrong, the child will be depressed for the rest of his life." Mrs. Xu nodded and sighed.

It's such a pity about Hazelnut's child. It won't be easy to find a partner in the future. In this world, it's not only difficult for widows to get married, but also for widowers and those who are divorced. People will think that there is something wrong with you that makes the woman divorce you without caring about her reputation.

If it was really as Hazelnut wished, raising Liu's child and then marrying Liu Xingniang, what would that be?

After listening to the story about her second cousin's lifelong event, and also listening to her second aunt telling her mother about the battle of the century between her eldest aunt and her eldest aunt when she first came into the family, Yu Hongdou was so interested in the news that she almost forgot about the important matter of finding her father.

"Dad, come here." Yu Hongdou stood at the door of the main room, waving her little hands to call her dad as if she was summoning a spirit.

"What's wrong? By the way, this room on the east side is yours. When you have time, think about it and tell me what you want. Dad will buy it for you." Yu Sanlang was in an excited state and made many promises to his daughter.

"Okay, let me think about it. You come here." Yu Hongdou looked towards the yard and pulled her father into the east wing of the main house that had just been assigned to her.

Under Yu Sanlang's puzzled and curious gaze, he rummaged around in his sleeves and took out two notebooks.

"?" Yu Sanlang stared at his daughter's two thin arms. How could such narrow sleeves hold these two large notebooks?

"Here, I dug it up in the mountains. It should be some treasure. Dad, take a look. If it's not dangerous, take the treasure. If it's dangerous, find a place to bury it." Yu Hongdou stuffed the two notebooks into her father's hands and wanted to run.

Yu Sanlang grabbed his daughter by one hand, holding her like a little piglet in one hand, while lowering his eyes to look at two books - "List of Members of the Dongshan Branch of the Zhixiang Sect" and "Bills of the Dongshan Branch of the Zhixiang Sect".

!!!

Yu Hongdou looked at her silly father, whose eyes were wide open like copper bells, and smiled flatteringly. Was he surprised? Was he surprised?
