Interstellar Journey after Rebirth

Chapter 184 The House is Completed

But then he thought about Chen Si's ability to make money, and Mo Jiang shut up.

But he still felt bad for Chen Si's money.

"Raising the beam is a happy event, and I want everyone to share in the good fortune." Chen Si said as a matter of course.

After all, that's what she thought.

Giving out wedding money on the beam is to bring happiness to others and to yourself.

The prosperity of the family, the health of the head of the family, and the stability of the house are all included in these rituals.

"But this is not a real house, you know that! Even if we really built one, there is no need to give money to the people you know, right?" Mo Jiang was a little depressed.

He simply couldn't understand why Chen Si would give money to a stranger just for a house.

Even those rich young men would not behave so crazy.

She had lived for so many years and had never heard of such behavior in the world.

Chen Si didn't want to argue with Mo Jiang anymore, so he said directly: "Just tell me if it's okay or not, and don't worry about the rest."

If I argue with Mo Jiang, it will never end.

After Chen Mo comes back, he will have to put up the beams himself. If he cannot complete it by then, this act of putting up the beams will lose much of its meaning.

"Yes, you can." Mo Jiang replied helplessly.

He didn't know why Chen Si was so obsessed with giving out wedding money, but since Chen Si insisted so much, he couldn't say no.

Mo Jiang told Chen Si that although this is not a common operation, the game does provide the function of sending red envelopes.

"How to do it, how to do it?" Chen Si immediately became excited when he heard that it was possible.

It really is possible. How much should I send later?

This needs to be studied carefully.

Mo Jiang patiently explained where to send red envelopes in the game, and instructed Chen Si how to send red envelopes: "It's at the bottom of the game interface where you can recharge. There is a small red envelope icon next to it. It's very small."

Chen Si was very excited when she heard this. She immediately followed Mo Jiang's instructions to find the interface for sending red envelopes and memorized the operation method.

Then he closed his game page again.

He had to wait for Chen Mo to bring back the cut beams.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. I will definitely give you a big red envelope after I finish building the house." Chen Si waved at Mo Jiang, signaling him to leave quickly.

Mo Jiang felt helpless about Chen Si's "use it and throw it away" attitude.

But he also understood that this was due to Chen Si's personality.

If I wasn't familiar with Xiao Sisi, she wouldn't treat me like this.

Xiao Sisi has classified me as one of her own.

Moreover, this is one's own little ancestor, the kind that should be worshipped.

So he could only accept the fact that he was "used and discarded" and appear again when Chen Si needed him.

Now I have to leave quickly.

In order to avoid annoying the little ancestor, he just left the game area.

After getting the answer she wanted, Chen Si immersed herself in her house building work again.

She looks forward to recreating the festive atmosphere of "raising the beam" in this virtual world and inviting all her friends to share this joy.

Chen Si sat quietly outside his courtyard, thinking about how to build a house while anxiously waiting for Chen Mo's return.

She originally asked Chen Mo to buy the wood, hoping to find something of similar quality in the mall.

This way the house can be built faster.

However, as time passed, Chen Mo still did not return.

This made Chen Si wonder if Chen Mo might have seen that the trees in the mall were too expensive, so he went somewhere to cut down trees himself.

If this is true, I don’t know when it will be completed?

Chen Si didn't dare to leave easily, for he was worried that when Chen Mo came back, he wouldn't be able to see him and wouldn't know how to get back on the beam.

Therefore, she had to buy a chair from the mall, sit on it, and wait for Chen Mo's return.

As time passed, Chen Si's eyelids began to droop and he was almost falling asleep.

Just then, the sound of heavy footsteps mixed with panting and the sound of dragging heavy objects reached her ears.

Chen Si suddenly opened his eyes and looked up.

The scene before him shocked him.

I saw Chen Mo in the distance, carrying a huge tree trunk on his back, which was several times thicker than him.

The branches and leaves on the tree trunk had not yet been cut off and were dragged along by him.

The friction with the ground made a harsh sound, and it was this sound that woke up the drowsy Chen Si.

When Chen Mo walked up to Chen Si, Chen Si was still immersed in shock and unable to come to his senses.

"Hey, look at this tree trunk and see if it's suitable. I specially picked a tree that I can drag. If it's bigger, I won't be able to drag it." Chen Mo put down the tree trunk he was dragging and turned to Chen Si to ask.

The tree trunk fell to the ground and Chen Si felt the ground shake.

"Isn't this the thickest?" Chen Si's voice was filled with surprise.

She thought, this must be a thousand-year-old tree?

Compared to the century-old trees she had seen on the Blue Water Planet, this trunk was several times thicker.

Such a big tree is not the thickest.

"It's not thick," Chen Mo responded in confusion, "I looked around and found something I could drag, so I deliberately picked this relatively small tree to cut down."

He never expected that Chen Si would find the tree trunk thick.

Before he left, he specifically asked Chen Si how thick he wanted it to be.

Chen Si said it can be as thick as it can be.

After all, in the fantasy forest he was familiar with, there were trees that were several times thicker than this one.

This tree is just a small tree.

I am still young and haven't seen the world yet.

It’s understandable that you don’t know the situation outside.

Chen Si looked at Chen Mo, speechless for a moment.

It seems that she still has to go to the mall to buy the right wood herself.

So she quickly opened the mall panel and began searching for various tree trunks.

However, the various woods we see have strange names, such as fragrant wood, white flower wood, wrinkled red fruit wood, etc.

And the diameters of all of them were over one meter, which made her speechless.

Are all the trees in the interstellar space really this big?

After careful consideration, Chen Si decided to set up screening conditions to look for logs with a diameter of about 20 centimeters.

Unfortunately, there aren't many options that meet the criteria.

There are only two or three options.

But she still fell in love with a model made of all black wood at first sight.

The name of this wood is black gold wood. The introduction says that it does not burn when exposed to fire and does not rot when exposed to water.

This is definitely the most ideal building material for Chen Si’s roof.

Chen Si decided to buy this kind of wood.

However, just as she was about to place an order, the system prompted her that she could not purchase the item because she was too young.

This made Chen Si feel very frustrated.

In desperation, she had to find Chen Mo and ask him to help her place an order for the wood she liked.

Chen Mo looked at the fine wood that he had chosen in deep thought, frowning slightly.

He couldn't understand why Chen Si bought such thin wood.

So I asked directly: "My goodness, why did you buy such a thin tree? It's so thin, how can it block the sky? It can't even cover your house at all?"

Chen Mo's doubts were understandable. Such thin trees could not cover Chen Si's roof.

Unless you buy a lot of them, but the number Chen Si wants to buy is exactly seven times that of all the houses.

Even if there were seven, they would not be enough to cover the entire roof!

Then you also need to buy some tree trunks about ten centimeters long.

But Chen Si did not explain much, just said lightly: "Just buy it, and you will understand when I finish building it."

Chen Si knew that explaining it would involve some complicated architectural knowledge.

For example, there is a main rafter, also called a beam, with three purlins on each side of the beam. Small wooden sticks or wood chips are needed between the purlins to support the tiles.

In a real house, supporting structures such as brackets and columns are also needed to complete the construction of the house.

But she felt there was no need to explain too much to Chen Mo.

Because she didn't know how to explain to Chen Mo the difference between beams and purlins.

And how do you know these things?

Chen Si estimated the quantity of logs and tiles he needed, and then asked Chen Mo to place an order on his mall page.

Although Chen Mo was a little confused, he finally couldn't persuade his daughter and placed the order according to her request.

The dougong structure is simply impossible to manufacture because the required parts are too complicated.

Each dougong requires nearly twenty parts, which is too complicated.

Chen Si himself doesn't know how to do it, but he can make pillars.

It's just a matter of a few more pieces of wood.

I hope that a house without a bracket structure can be built.

After all, there is no need for shockproof or anything.

As long as it can stand, the system should determine that it has been successfully built.

Soon, a pile of building materials appeared next to Chen Si and his friends.

Chen Si clicked on the building materials and entered a construction page similar to a game.

She remembered that she still had to send out red envelopes, so she exited the construction interface.

Then, according to the operations I had noted down before, I opened the red envelope sending interface, entered the amount of 100,000, and stuffed in 100,000 cash.

Write the note "raising the beam of the house", which means good luck.

I was just about to send out red envelopes, but the game interface showed that my age was too low and sending red envelopes was not allowed.

Chen Si was furious.

Why am I so young that I can’t accomplish anything?

There was no choice but to look for Chen Mo again.

"Old Chen, please give me a red envelope!" Chen Si said, pulling Chen Mo's sleeve.

"Huh? Send out red envelopes? What kind of red envelopes? Why send out red envelopes?" Chen Mo asked three soul-searching questions.

Chen Si couldn't lie, so he said directly: "This house needs to be built before the beams are put up. There are usually many rituals before the beams are put up, such as killing chickens, scattering money, and scattering candies. It is to pray for the stability of the house, the safety and happiness of the owner, good health, and prosperity of the family, and many children and blessings."

After listening to Chen Si's words, Chen Mo felt that it made sense.

It is understandable to spend some money for the benefits mentioned.

So he nodded and agreed: "Okay, how much do you want?"

When Chen Si heard Chen Mo's agreement, he quickly said, "One hundred thousand credit points, one hundred thousand people competing for it, the following notes..."

However, before Chen Si could finish, he was interrupted by Chen Mo: "What? You want to spend 100,000 to send out red envelopes?"

Is Guaiguai crazy?

It is better to give 100,000 yuan to a stranger or give it to others without asking for anything in return.

He had never heard of anyone giving money to others without asking for anything in return.

Although the money in the family is earned diligently, we can’t spend it like this!

"The house has been built, and all that's left is the last step. The more people grab the money, the more blessed we will be." Chen Si had no choice.

She just wanted to have a good start, so she gave out red envelopes.

The money is too little and few people know about it, so it is meaningless. She decided to spend the hundred thousand after comprehensive consideration.

He was already short of money, so he was unwilling to give out any more.

"But, including these one hundred thousand, we have spent nearly one million credit points to build the house in the fantasy world this time. You will also have to decorate the house later, which will cost more money." Chen Mo calculated for Chen Si how much money they had spent, hoping that Chen Si would change his decision to give out red envelopes.

Chen Si felt that it was only one million, not much.

After all, buying a house on the Blue Water Planet costs several million.

Not much really.

So she said, "This is the last time. We don't need to buy anything else for the rest of the interior decoration. I also want our family to be safe and smooth without any setbacks. Please, Dad."

Chen Si used his trump card, and it depended on whether Chen Mo would accept it.

Chen Mo hesitated.

He never knew that building a house requires giving red envelopes to others.

But Guaiguai actually called himself dad for this.

This is one of the few times!

What if I don’t agree and he doesn’t want to be close to me in the future?

Chen Si saw Chen Mo's hesitation, so he said more vigorously: "Dad, Dad, good dad, just promise me!"

Chen Mo was lost in the calls of "Dad".

His fingers uncontrollably clicked on the red envelope page, and as Chen Si said, 100,000 red envelopes, 100,000 credit points, with a note about the courtyard house beam raising, wishing good luck.

Then click Send.

After everything was done, Chen Mo finally reacted belatedly.

Another hundred thousand credit points are gone.

Just gave it away for free.

Chen Si quickly started to put up the beams and then build the house.

From a third-person perspective, she pieced the materials together bit by bit, just like a sandbox game on Planet Aqua.

After completing the splicing, Chen Si checked it carefully again, and after confirming that it was correct, he clicked Done.

Then, the building page closed and the house in front of them appeared directly in front of them.

This house is exactly the same as Chen Sixiang imagined, it is her dream house.

The house was not unable to support itself due to the lack of bracket structures.

Because the eaves lacked bracket structures, Chen Si was afraid that they could not be supported, so he added several inverted triangle support frames to the columns at the eaves.

It can be considered a lucky accomplice.

There is still a few square meters of space left in front of the house, and Chen Si plans to grow some vegetables in the future.

But under the current circumstances, she has no way to plant it.

I have no tools and no seeds.

So, she decided to ask Chen Mo to find some wild plants and transplant them when he had time.

The only thing missing now is a pair of stone lions guarding the gate.

Chen Si didn't see a stone lion in the bag of items Linglong gave her, so she needed to find a way to make one herself.
