There is a farmhouse on Mo

In the big house, several people chatted happily. When the second-bedroom couple returned to the house, Zhang Jinhua started to make trouble.

Now that Yunniang is pregnant, regardless of other people, it is not a good thing for their second wife!

"Head of the family, what do you think we should do now? The boss can't work and has to take medicine. This Yunniang is here again. Not only won't work, but we have to pay for it..."

"There is also the money for the medicine of the elder brother. Although it was taken out by the mother, it is our money..."

Zhang Jinhua felt aggrieved. They had always been the ones enjoying the blessings and the big house was suffering. Now it was turned upside down. She couldn't bear it anymore. Now she not only had to do the housework, but also had to go to the fields.

"Master, you said that you made a lot of money working in the town, but now you are pulled back to farm the land. Why do you have to raise a big house? We are suffering..."

"I know that..." Xu Degui was also unwilling to support his elder brother's family for nothing like this. He was exhausted during this period of time, and his elder brother's medicine money was spent a lot.

All these years, his elder brother has worked to support him, and now he wants his elder brother's family instead, and he really feels a little bit unwilling.

"Head of the family, let's separate!" Zhang Jinhua lowered his voice, "When Jiabao comes back from the exam, we will separate!"

"Break up..." Xu Degui murmured.

"Yes, after Jiabao finishes the exam, it doesn't matter if we split up..." Zhang Jinhua thought of something, and then said

"Head of the family, let me tell you that the eldest son of the Zhao family in the town has taken a fancy to our daughter. Liu Liu told me personally."

"Really?" Xu Degui paused, "The Zhao family, but the Zhao family that runs the restaurant?"

"That's right, we Liu Liu will be young mistresses when we marry, who will dare to say that we are not!" Zhang Jinhua continued to persuade

"If you still support the big family and the couple, the money for the medicine will drag us down to death. At that time, Liu Liu's dowry will be reduced, and people will definitely look down upon him!"

"And it's not a good thing to get pregnant at Yunniang's age. I heard from the old man that it's bad luck for a woman to have a body at this age. That's why the Zhao family is so taboo!"

"Yeah, a wealthy family, that's comparable to that in the countryside..."

Xu Defu sighed, he couldn't let his elder brother's family drag down his children, the big deal is that when he becomes prosperous in the future, he can help his elder brother, which can be regarded as repaying his elder brother's support for these years.

Yunniang is fine, she is pregnant again, no matter what mood Xu Laoniang and the second wife of the Xu family feel, everyone else thinks it is a good thing. Of course, there are some old people in the village who think it is inappropriate and unlucky. In the past, few people who conceived children at this age in the village ended well.

In fact, Shao Yitang didn't really approve of Yunniang's rebirth, after all, age was a factor, if something happened, it would be human life.

However, in ancient times, modern people couldn't imagine how much they valued children. He just thought about it in his heart, so he wished Yunniang a smooth delivery.

After returning from the Xu family, the matter of building a house was brought up.

Building a house in ancient times is not like modern times. You have to hire a special construction team. Generally in the countryside, you invite villagers and relatives who know how to make bricks in the same village or the next door village to help, and the wages will be calculated at that time.

Shao Yitang has only been in Xiaoxi Village for a few months, and he is not familiar with the people in the village. He needs to hire someone to build a house, and he doesn't know where to start, so he can only ask the village chief for help. Everyone solves problems, and now he is considered a villager in Xiaoxi Village, isn't he?

Also, this house is not just built. In addition to buying masonry, wood, and materials for building the house yourself, you also have to report to the village chief.

Asking for help requires giving gifts, Shao Yitang was very polite, he brought the pork and snacks he bought from the town, and he came to find someone with money in his pocket.

Xu An didn't follow, he had to hurry up to make clothes these two days, and ran to Song Qing early in the morning with a needle and thread, he was busy.

The house of the village head is at the head of the village. It is a big tiled house made of blue bricks, which is very easy to recognize, because there are not many blue bricks and tiled houses in this village, and most people still have the kind of tiled houses built of mud.

At this time, Shao Yitang couldn't help but start to think, Li Tiezhu, the village head, really couldn't see it, he was really luscious......

Now just after the spring planting, every household is not too busy and relatively leisurely. When Shao Yitang went to the village head's house, the village head and his wife were weaving bamboo baskets at home.

"Ouch, Mr. Shao is here!" The village head's wife opened the door, and saw Shao Yitang carrying pork dim sum, she was immediately happy.

"Yes, the village chief is not at home. I have something to discuss with the village chief..." Shao Yitang looked into the courtyard, handed the things in his hand to the village chief's wife and smiled.

"Yes, yes, come in!"

The daughter-in-law of the village head who took the things was all smiles. This Shao is generous, and the meat in his hands is probably two catties. Oh, it's still white sugar cake, this thing is rare!

Speaking of Shao Yitang, most people in the village don't dislike him. To be honest, although he is an outsider, he is very pleasant. Most of the time, he greets everyone with a smile. That's also polite and cultured, and more importantly, this guy surnamed Shao is rich!

During the few months of living in Xiaoxi Village, Shao Yitang's magnanimity, which is not money, opened everyone's eyes. Regardless of whether people have money, the donkeys and cattle in the family are obvious property Well, as the saying goes, laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes is what they are talking about.

"Shao Xianggong is polite, the child's mother, pour water..." Li Tiezhu put down the things in his hand. "Mr. Shao came to see the old man, what can I do?"

"It's something..." Shao Yitang sat down on the chair next to the village chief, and said straight to the point, "Village chief, I don't want to talk nonsense. I want to build a house, but I'm not familiar with this village. I still need you to hire workers." help!"

"Build a house!"

"That's right. I didn't have time to build the house because I got married. No, I thought about building it quickly when it was empty." Shao Yitang nodded and continued, "Also, I don't understand many things about building a house. Ask the village chief for help."

"How big are you going to build? You can get a lot of money to build a house..."

Li Tiezhu thought about it, he was aware of Shao Yitang's thatched cottage, and it would be a matter of time before he changed the house, but he never thought that Shao Yitang would plan to build a house so soon.

Although it doesn't cost much to build a house in the countryside, you still have to ask for 30 taels of silver.

"I've prepared this money long ago. I didn't buy land in the village back then, I just wanted to build a house!" Shao Yitang made up nonsense, and now he can easily come up with it. "So I asked the village chief for help in recruiting people."

After finishing speaking, Shao Yitang took out a copper coin from his pocket and put it in front of the village chief.

"Okay, I'll make a record for you, you go to buy the materials, and I'll leave the matter of finding someone!"

Li Tiezhu took the copper coins on the table with a smile. This matter is considered to be a promise. The surnamed Shao is on the road, and he will naturally do things with all his heart. The villagers are not busy recently, and everyone will definitely be willing to have a chance to make money.

"By the way, the village chief, I have something to tell you. Don't let the wealthy family come that week."

"Ah...Okay!" Li Tiezhu was stunned when he put in the money, looked at Shao Yitang, and nodded when he thought of the almost fight between Shao Yitang and Zhou Facai couple some time ago.

"Then trouble the village chief, I'll go back first, so don't bother me!"

Shao Yitang also nodded in satisfaction. Having lived in the village for a few months, he knew a little about the affairs of the village. I heard that Zhou Facai's family was somewhat distantly related to the village chief. , have to prevent it first.

He is not someone who is looking for trouble, but he still has to do it to plan for a rainy day. Besides, he is still a person who holds grudges. If he says that he will ask someone for help in the future but not his family, he can't break his promise, no!

For this house, Shao Yitang wanted to build a two-story small bungalow or something, but in view of the ancient construction technology and the limited money in hand, he could only retreat and be picky. It was roughly built according to the house pattern of this era, that is, an extra pawn was added. The backyard for the warehouse, for the corn and grapes to be harvested in the future, and the plan for sugar production!

The place that sells bricks and tiles is in the next-door village. The person was recommended by the village head, and the road was also led by the village head. The money has never been wasted. I negotiated the price with the owner who sells materials, made an appointment, and returned after paying the deposit. village.

Li Tiezhu, the village head, was also more reliable. After Shao Yitang told him about building the house, he went to the village to find someone the next day.

The person who built the house found a total of ten people, all of whom were good at working in the village and honest. They paid fifteen yuan a day and took care of the lunch at noon.

The villagers who were selected were very happy. It is a good thing to be able to increase the income of the family in the spare time, so everyone is gearing up and waiting for work. Those who are not selected dare not complain. With long hands, no one can offend the village chief if he offends anyone.

As for Zhou Facai and his wife, Shao Yitang was really right to take precautions. As soon as the two couples heard that there was money to take, they rushed to the village chief's house. Li Tiezhu was Zhou Facai's seventh uncle. How could such a good thing not be given to his family? people.

As for the grievances with Shao Yitang, the two of them don't care about it, and they can't make trouble with Yin Zi if they are against anyone.

However, they didn't expect that Shao Yitang would greet the village head in advance, and the money-making matter fell through again. The angry husband and wife quarreled at the village head's house on the spot, saying that Li Tiezhu was ungrateful and became the village head. My family didn't care, watching them starve to death, and finally cheated Li Tiezhu with two eggs and a bag of mixed noodles before leaving.

When this matter reached Shao Yitang's ears, he could only sigh with emotion, what a bullying master!
