If you want to build a house, you have to talk to the village head and the head of the village, because the place that Lao Zhou chose is next door to his house, not a crop field, and he doesn't even need to pay for it.
Knowing that Zhou's family is going to build seven stone houses at once, the others are okay, but Zhou Dayuan's family, which is some distance away from Manbao's house, can't.
Because there is a large piece of land between the two families. This piece of land is wasteland. No one has looked down on this piece of land these years. Naturally, they will not plant anything on it, so that weeds are overgrown and there are many stones. Building a symmetrical seven-room house will inevitably occupy most of the land, and the distance between the two houses will be even shorter.
Zhou Dayuan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, was the first to raise the issue, and she did not agree to grant the land to the Zhou family. The reasons were ready-made, "Their family occupies such a large piece of land, what should I do if my family wants to build a house in the future?"
The village head said, "Isn't there still room above your house?"
"The feng shui from above is not good for our family, and our house is built downward."
This time Zhou Dayuan did not speak.
The village chief frowned, "Your family has only one son, a big donkey, so what house do you need to build?"
"I'm not happy with what you said. Just because I only have one son, doesn't mean I also only have one grandson. How many more will Dalu's wife have in the future, and they won't be able to build a house when they grow up?"
The village chief knew that she was messing around and she was purely disrespectful, so he turned to old Zhou and said, "Then your family should pay the money, measure the land you want, and follow the rules."
Then he said to Mrs. Zhang: "The Zhou family is willing to pay for it. If you want to enclose the land now, then measure it out and hand over the money."
Mrs. Zhang stopped talking immediately.
Zhou Dayuan quickly said: "The children at home are still young, so we are not in a hurry to build a house."
The village chief snorted, looked at the villagers again, and asked, "Is there anyone else in the village who wants to buy this piece of land?"
Zhou Dagu laughed and said: "Our house is not there, who will build a house there, if Uncle Jin wants to buy it, he can buy it all."
Zhou Jin is not stupid, after buying that piece of land, it will join Zhou Dayuan's family. Hmph, he must vacate a piece of land to avoid their family.
In Qili Village, everyone who builds a house in the village can build it on any open space as long as they get the approval of all the families in the village.
Because there is a lot of open space, and no crops are grown, it is covered with weeds or gravel, so as long as you have money, you can build whatever you want.
But there are exceptions, because people in the village live together. Although there is open space on the left and right, there are also neighbors on the left and right. If your family wants to build a house on this open space, my family also wants to, so we can only buy it.
The money is handed over to the village, and in the future, it can be used from the village's public account for road construction, water conservancy repairs, or helping the weak and widowed.
Of course, the money is not too much. According to the area, Lao Zhoutou has calculated that the land he encloses can be given up to three hundred cash at most.
The money spent on building seven stone houses is not worth mentioning, but it will still be very heartbreaking to ordinary villagers.
Usually, in order not to pay this money, they would rather choose another place than pay for it.
Anyway, there is a lot of open space inside and outside the village.
Old Zhou Tou decided to pay the money, of course Zhou Dayuan's family would not rob him again, so the matter was settled like this.
He simply asked the village head to choose a good day for him, and immediately notified the person he wanted to invite to come and help build the house on that day.
Everyone who was invited said it was fine.
Now the weather is getting cold, there is no work in the field, the old Zhoutou's family is going to build a house, they just can have an income, so the people who are hired are very happy.
As soon as he got home, Lao Zhou took his family to the open space next to him and started mowing the grass, cleaning up stones and various debris.
When Man Bao finished his homework and ran home from Bai's house, the weeds in the field had been cut, and everyone was picking stones into bamboo baskets. A large circle was circled on the ground with plant ash. There were still many squares in the large circle. Square graphics.
Man Bao jumped into the largest picture with a small bookcase on his back, and excitedly asked Zhou Zhoulang who was being lazy, "Fourth brother, why are you drawing on the ground?"
"What are you painting? The place where you are standing now is the courtyard. These are the houses that are drawn."
Man Bao looked around and couldn't imagine that they were the ground and yard of the room. She scratched her head and asked, "Why do you want to draw?"
"Only after you have painted it will you know how big the land you want to buy. Have you seen it? From here to there, it costs a total of three hundred and twenty renminbi."
Zhou Dalang frowned and said, "If you want me to say that it doesn't need to be so big at all, the yard is big and the room is also big?"
"Where is it bigger? I think it's just right. My parents agreed." Zhou Zhoulang looked at the figure in the middle and said, "See, that's my room. I've planned it all. It's such a big room. At that time, I separated two rooms, separated by a bamboo screen just like my parents' room, with a bed inside and tables, chairs and benches outside, which can occasionally be used to entertain guests. When I have a son, I will let them Live outside."
Zhou Dalang nodded after thinking about it, "This is a good idea, let's do it, let's make it bigger."
Man Bao asked excitedly, "What about my room?"
Zhou Zhou Lang waved his hand and said bluntly: "Choose whatever you want, this one, this one is fine..."
Old Zhou Tou just heard that he was bragging, so he slapped him on the head and scolded: "Today, I will count you as the laziest, your eldest brother and sister-in-law have mowed the grass and you haven't picked out a basket of stones yet!" Come on, what are you bragging about here?"
Man Bao slipped away immediately, she ran to find Zhou Dalang, and asked, "Brother, where is my room?"
Zhou Dalang pointed to the west room of the main room and said with a smile: "Here, mother said that if you study, you need a room facing the sun, so I will give you this room. When the time comes, we will open a window for you on the west side, and the desk will Put it under the window, and you won't hurt your eyes when you read."
Man Bao was happy, jumped over to have a look, and said: "I like this place, it's right next to my parents' room, so I can still lie on the wall and talk to my parents at night."
Zhou Dalang: ... His parents might not be happy.
Man Bao turned around excitedly, wanting to plan her own room, but here is the uneven ground, she really couldn't imagine what it would be like to turn it into a room, so she walked around for a long time and held back for a long time Later, I found that I had no plan at all, and I didn't even see where the bed was placed.
Keke saw that she was running around like a headless fly, so he reminded: "Host, didn't your parents say that the money is not enough? I don't think they will buy a lot of things for you, so don't think about making more money." , prepare something more for yourself?"
Man Bao nodded solemnly, "You're right, when Fifth Brother comes back from the county seat, I'll save the money and never waste it again."
