Giving Chenchen a younger brother is not something they can think about right away, it can only be said that they have made various preparations in advance.

But many other trivial matters are waiting there to be dealt with urgently, such as renovating the house.

On the way back, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan had already discussed that after demolishing the old house, they would rebuild a three-in-one house at the original address.

One is that their current house is indeed not enough. Lin Yue and his wife barely sleep in the small side room behind the kitchen that was once used to store sundries.If there is another guest at home, they will have to tidy up the small bed in Yu Zhou's study.

It is really inconvenient to do so, and not everyone is suitable for living in a study.

What's more, Yu Zhou is now a Juren, and his family is not short of money, so living in those three shabby houses is a bit of a loss after all.

The Sanjin house occupies a much larger area than the original one, so Yu Zhou had to buy some more land next to it before building it.

Fortunately, his house was originally eccentric, except for the side next to Chen's, the other side and the back were all unowned, so it was easy to buy it.

The next day Yu Zhou went to the county government office, and after explaining his purpose, he paid the money, and the county magistrate directly sent someone over to measure the place with him.

In addition to the land needed for a three-entry courtyard, Yu Zhou has reserved some more space. If there is a need for expansion in the future, there is no need to buy land.And even if there is no expansion, more land can be reserved for vegetable gardens.

After the land is demarcated, it is time to purchase the bricks, tiles and wood for building the house, and prepare the place where the family will live during the construction of the house.

Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan had some plans of their own, but they were inexperienced after all, so when discussing these matters, they invited the Chen family to come over for reference.

Aunt Chen reminded: "When buying bricks, tiles and timber, you can ask the masons in the village to help you look at them. They know where to buy good things and the prices of each item, so that people don't think you don't understand. , the lion opened his mouth wide."

"That's exactly what I planned." Before crossing, Yu Zhou always thought that if he had to do something and he couldn't do it well, then he would spend money to hire a professional to do it well. Be worried about screwing things up.

Jin Chuan continued: "As for the place to live, we want to give some money and find someone in the village who has an old house to borrow for two or three months."

"Why do you need to find someone else?" Aunt Chen disagreed. "My house has a room that is always vacant, and a utility room. As you know, the two rooms are not very big and not very bright to live in. But always It's better than running back and forth every day, living in my house and wanting to go over to see the progress of the house, isn't it just a stride away?"

Aunt Chen also added: "As for things, let your uncle and aunt clean up half of the main room, it should be enough for you to use."

Yu Zhou pondered for a while, not to mention anything else, the distance is convenient to take care of this point, what Aunt Chen said made sense, and he was also very moved, so after exchanging a look with Jin Chuan, he nodded and said: "Then In the next two months, I will trouble you."

"What's the trouble?" Aunt Chen said with a smile, "It's more lively when we live together."

After the matter was settled, several people acted quickly before the autumn harvest.

In the past few years, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan have helped the Chen family a lot, especially for Aunt Chen's illness. If it wasn't for Yu Zhou and the others, Aunt Chen might have left long ago.As a result, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan not only invited a doctor, but also used their own favors to make the Chen family spend nothing except for a few medicinal materials.

This time it was hard for Yu Zhou's family to build a house, so the Chen family naturally had to seize the opportunity to return the favor.

In fact, according to Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan's temperament, the Chen family helped, so it is impossible for them to let others help in vain.

However, both of them have the same idea, so they will keep getting closer and closer.

After that, those who buy bricks, tiles and wood will buy bricks, tiles and wood, and those who move things at home will have a clear division of labor and move quickly.

After everything was done, people from the village were invited to demolish the old house and dig the foundation again.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and when the foundation was dug, it happened to be the autumn harvest time, and the people in the village had no time to come to help, and the foundation could just take advantage of this time to dry.

Besides, Yu Zhou also has other things to attend to, and Tao Jiang's wedding day will soon come. As a good friend, he has to accompany Tao Jiang to Fucheng to welcome her.

He Yunqi and Tao Jiang both knew that Yu Zhou's previous house had been demolished, and now he was living in Chen's house, so before going to meet his relatives, He Yunqi and Zhou Ning came to find Yu Zhou again.

Zhou Ning invited Jinchuan and Chenchen to accompany Yu Zhou at his home when the couple went to Fucheng to pick up their relatives.

In fact, the He family is such a big family, and He Yunqi only left for a few days, so how could Zhou Ning be bored at home, and no matter how bad it was, Zhou Ning could go back to Zhou's house for a while.

So Jin Chuan was a little hesitant.

In fact, according to Yu Zhou's thinking, he would prefer Jinchuan to be a guest at He's house. After all, they lived next to each other in Fucheng before, and the relationship is very close, so they don't worry about being disturbed after staying for a few days.What's more, it will be the autumn harvest season soon, and the Chen family must be busy with the work in the field. Jin Chuan took Chen Chen to watch other people's families busy from morning to night at the Chen family. It would be bad if they didn't help, but If he could help, he would be tired enough with Chenchen.

It would be better to take Chen Chen and Zheng Xiu to He's house and leave Lin Yue to work for Chen's house.

Jin Chuan was obviously moved by the same reason, so after Zhou Ning whispered something to him, he immediately nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon of that day, the two of them packed up some things for their own use, and things Yu Zhou gave to his aunt when he went to Fucheng.Then he took Chenchen and Zheng Xiu to He's house.

Yu Zhou noticed that since Zhou Ning said that to Jin Chuan, Jin Chuan was in a very good mood, so after getting into the carriage, he couldn't help asking, "What did Zhou Ning tell you just now?"

"He thinks that letting Chenchen play with him for a while," Jin Chuan said with a smile, "maybe he can have a smart and lovely child like Chenchen."

Yu Zhou opened his mouth and asked, "This is...?"

No wonder He Yunqi looked a little different from usual today. He thought it was because Tao Jiang was getting married and He Yunqi was happy for his cousin, but he didn't expect it to be because of his own affairs.

"En!" Jin Chuan nodded heavily.

As a good friend, Yu Zhou also feels happy for He Yunqi. After all, if the other half is a brother, it is indeed much more difficult to have a child than if the other half is a woman.

That night, the family of three lived in He's house.

Chenchen can now understand what many adults say, so before going to bed at night, Yu Zhou explained to him the reason for leaving, "Father wants to go with Uncle Tao to bring Uncle Qi back, so in the next few days, only Daddy will accompany you. Look at Chenchen, Chenchen must be obedient."

Chenchen lowered her head, thought for a while and said, "Chenchen, I want to go with my father too."

Yu Zhou couldn't help laughing, "If you go, you'll have to stay in the carriage for a long, long time, even longer than last time, and your father will be very tired."

"Then I won't go," Chenchen said resolutely, but she obviously couldn't bear to part with Yu Zhou, so she pulled Yu Zhou's sleeve and said, "Then I'm going to sleep with my father tonight."

"Okay, you'll sleep between father and father." Yu Zhou pinched Chenchen's face and agreed quite readily, but what he thought was that Chenchen was so clingy to them, and when the new house was repaired, the one he ordered The crib was delivered, Chenchen didn't know if she would like to sleep alone.

Because he had to leave for a few days, Yu Zhou told Chenchen a bedtime story when he was sleeping.

Then the next day, before Chenchen woke up, he set off.

The marriage between Tao Jiang and Qisu was a matter of course, and it was settled with the blessings of their relatives.Therefore, apart from the fact that the wedding was a little more difficult due to the long distance, there was no obstacle after that, and even the test given to the new son-in-law under normal circumstances, the Qi family just thought about it.

After taking the newcomer back, there will be a feast for guests. After all the etiquette is completed, it will be almost ten days before Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan leave the village.

The village's autumn harvest can be completed in about ten days, so the day after Tao Jiang finished worshiping, the two returned to the village with Chenchen.

Only when they go back and build the house sooner can they move in sooner, and they don't need to live in Chen's house anymore.

Yu Zhou was willing to spend money to hire people, and the materials he needed had already been bought, so the house was built quite quickly. In less than [-] days, Sanjin's green brick house was completed.

The weather in autumn is dry and dry, and the walls dry quickly after being built. The things of this era do not contain harmful substances, and they can be moved in directly without ventilation.

For the newly built house, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan set up a new house for a fire banquet, and invited friends and villagers to warm the house.

In the past few years, Yu Zhou's status in the village has risen as he went from the county examination to the township examination, so the villagers who came to bless him also said auspicious words, which were lively and lively.

That night, Jin Chuan invited an opera troupe to sing at the entrance of the village.

He Yunqi and Tao Jiang also stayed at Yu Zhou's house tonight, and Yu Wenliang was also invited to stay at his house tonight.

When they get together, there are always endless topics to talk about and countless fun things.

Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan realized that when they were going to visit the opera troupe at the entrance of the village, they reckoned that the opera singing was coming to an end.

So the two didn't call anyone else, and didn't even bring Chen Chen with them, so they rushed over with a lantern.

There were a lot of people watching the play, not only from their own village, but also from nearby villages.

When the two passed by, they stood at the back, and no one noticed in the dark.

As a result, it was a coincidence that I just heard the people in front talking about them.

One of them said: "A few years ago, who would have thought that Yu Zhou would have what he is today."

A person next to him who was obviously not from their village answered, "The people in your village just can't imagine that the person in our village who once had a marriage contract with Master Juren, her parents have almost regretted it these days."

The people in Yu Zhou and his own village originally just sighed with emotion, but when they heard people from other villages say this, they became angry and said contemptuously: "This is called not bullying the young and poor. At first, I wanted to climb a high branch and regret marriage, but now I see Yu Zhou won the juren." He regretted it again, didn't he deserve it, he would be happy if he was pissed off."

The people from the neighboring villages did not answer the call.

But someone from the side stepped in and said, "Auntie, you still say things like don't bully young people and be poor!"

"My boy told me," said the aunt, her tone became proud, "like Yu Zhou, he studied at Mr. Wen's, and Mr. Wen said he was doing well. After a few years, he will be able to Try to end. I don't ask him to be like Yu Zhou, and pass the exam smoothly, as long as he is a scholar, it will be good if he can be exempted from our family's land tax."

Afterwards, the people next to him complimented each other, and then began to discuss whether their own children should also be sent to Mr. Wen to study.

Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan quietly turned to the other side, handed over the money to Chen Feng, and asked him to help to give it to the theater troupe master later, so they didn't keep any more money.

On the way back, Yu Zhou held the lantern in one hand and Jin Chuan in the other. After walking for a long time without seeing Jin Chuan speak, he couldn't help pinching Jin Chuan's hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jin Chuan said: "I want to buy Ghost Crying Cliff and another valley where tea trees grow."

Yu Zhou: "I thought you were thinking about what that person said just now."

"What's there to think about?" Jin Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Anyway, my husband only likes me, doesn't he?"
