Shopkeeper Jin was very fast. The next day, a cart brought craftsman Li Ming, and he also brought a few pictures at hand. This is to choose a house for Miao He and the others.
The pattern is based on a courtyard house. The main room, the east bedroom, the west kitchen and the south gate form a square. If you want to expand in the future, you can build a circle of houses behind the main house to form a pattern like "day".
Li Ming is used to the house of rich people, even if it is smaller this time, but rich people are rich, he can't persuade them, and he can't persuade them. When he meets this young couple, he is eager to try. However, Miao He also insisted on his own. For example, the requirements for the ondol, drainage, lighting, flue, and even lacquered wood floors, etc., Li Ming listened to it strangely.
When the two sides were turbulent, in order to seize the time, the workers had already started to ram the earth, and trucks of blue bricks were also transported into the new land of Miao He's family. This time, the convoy did not pass the main road in the village, but took a road outside the village that was closer to the brick kiln, so it was concealed for several days.
However, when the construction really started, the big movement behind the wooden fence was still noticed by the village chief who slipped over to check!
Yang Dalang didn't want people to see anything, so he directly blocked the village chief who wanted to come in in front of the fence gate.
"It's a house, messy, and I'm afraid of hurting people."
The village chief glanced at Yang Dalang's big man, trying to see what was going on inside, but the results were not good, and it should not be seen from his perspective. However, I did hear the banging of the ping ping inside, and the construction of the new house should not have run away.
The village chief was half-hearted, which meant that when people said they wanted to move, they really did. So he said in a warm tone, "Why didn't Gaiwu ask me to help call people? Dalang is too polite, who are these people? If you want to call people from the town, I'm afraid it won't cost more money, how could you spend this wrong? money?"
"I know the master's introduction. If you can rush to work, it's not easy for people in the village to rush." Yang Dalang gave an upright reason.
When it comes to reminders, the village head is a little embarrassed. Yang Dalang's response was indifferent at the moment, which is all right.
The village chief began to sigh again, "Hey, Dalang, it's too difficult for me to be the village chief. I'm sorry to you this time. But for the help you and He Ge'er did this time, the village chief will definitely tell the villagers truthfully. Yes! If there is any sneaky person who wants to get a job and earn food for nothing, the village chief will definitely help you block it!"
"Also, if you have any difficulties, feel free to talk about it! Even if there is a shortage of money to build a house, I can help the village chief to tell a few families that they can borrow it!"
"Thank you, no need."
After a few more words of concern, the village chief's expression was serious, but he left happily in his heart.
Because as long as Yang Dalang is willing to move, his work here will be considered a cross.
His eldest nephew Miao Gui can also get Miao Jue's promise to work in the workshop! So good, so good!
And the big event of moving always has to be told to the elders in the family. After choosing the day, Miao He brought a box of mung bean cakes and reported to Aunt Yang's house together with Yang Dalang. When Second Aunt Yang found out, she stomped her feet angrily.
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier! Second Aunt will definitely argue with them, what are you afraid of! How can Miao Huosheng, who was blinded by lard, treat us! Live! You don’t have to compete with other families for manpower when you are busy with farming, and you don’t have to worry about being swindled and deducted when you pay taxes, and you are also afraid that he will make things difficult for you!? You are also confused, what are you thinking about!”
Yang Dalang was scolded quietly, as if he didn't intend to refute. Miao He hurriedly said, "Second Aunt, don't be angry, even if you take advantage of it, you won't have to pay it back to us in the future. Let's just say that this newly acquired wasteland was originally used for vegetable cultivation, but now we have built a house on top of it. I can't tell if the village chief dares to paint it as a homestead or not."
Aunt Yang's eyes lit up, and she happily patted the table, "That's true! If you put the fence around, isn't it just a homestead and tax-exempt? Okay, I'll leave it to my aunt to talk about it! You young people are thin-skinned and bad. To fight, my auntie has to come out!"
Miao He looked at Yang Dalang. Yang Dalang nodded, "Trouble Second Aunt"
Now Second Aunt Yang was finally satisfied, and Miao He hurriedly said, "There is another matter. I just want the big copper gang to make some furniture. Second Aunt, don't argue, the money will definitely be given! And this time But it’s not the same, there are many other requirements besides being strong, or I don’t dare to say if you want to charge money.”
"How can I do that?" It was Yang Datong's turn to be anxious. "I haven't thanked my brother and sister-in-law about the reclining chair before, so I definitely won't be able to accept it this time! I still owe the rocking chair, and it will definitely be ready before moving!"
When he heard that there was a rocking chair, Miao He was delighted. "Then take you two rocking chairs! The rest are paid according to the rules."
Even so, in the end, it was up to Yang Dalang to suppress the protests of Second Aunt Yang and the others, so that people could successfully take over the furniture work. Miao He then explained the various requirements that he had thought about, and there were really many details. In addition, he did not forget to order a tall cat climbing frame for Dabai!
The new home is to put some new and beautiful furniture, so that it will have the taste of the new home.
To this end, he even spent an extra 2 taels of silver, almost equal to Yang Datong's income for more than half a year.
But these are all to decorate their home, and they are also a part of their longing for future life. This money is spent willingly!
When the new construction site hurried to build a new house, Yang Dalang went up the mountain several times. In order to clear the beasts on the top of the mountain, set up traps at several key points by the way. In the future, this will be our own backyard, and ensuring safety is absolutely necessary.
Miao He, who stayed at home, packed up the things in the old house one after another, and moved it little by little.
Anyway, the new land area is large, and there is no place to put it in the past.
This kind of movement was seen by the village chief, and his heart was even more satisfied.
Looking back, he really said to everyone, "The eldest man of the Yang family is also very supportive of the soybean planting business! No, I know that the Miao Li family wanted to use that land to grow soybeans, but they voluntarily gave up the land and moved it to a new location. He's gone to his own place!"
In these words, the village chief concealed his own faults. I'm afraid it wasn't a fault, it was intentional.
Some good people heard it and asked a few more questions, "There has been some movement in the area recently. It turns out that the house is being repaired! Why didn't the people in the village be notified? There are so many strong boys in the village who work for a few days, and there is one who earns pocket money. The opportunity is also good! This Yang Dalang really doesn't think about it, he is young and ignorant."
"Hey, you can't say that! Dalang promised to move out in 20 days, so that the Miao Li family could catch up with the soybean season. outside!" the village chief said quickly.
"Really? But Yang Dalang is not at odds with Miao Jue's family. He can be so good and willing to help? I don't look like it."
Hearing the suspicion, the village chief immediately talked a lot nervously.
"Why not!? Ren Dalang looked at his face with a cold face, and he knew the importance in his heart! Knowing that the workshop is short of soybeans, their family has no land, and it is too late to open a new land, so I still support the village workshop! I, the village chief, go to Dalang. As soon as he said it, Dalang was willing to let it go. How actively people cooperate, you are so suspicious, I, the village chief, will not agree!!"
The other party was taken aback and muttered, "What are you nervous about? I don't really care. It's strange. There is still Dalang's house above, and the lease hasn't expired yet, so why are you willing to give it to Miao Li's family? Let the land. There is so much wasteland next to the village, and that piece of soybean is still missing? Hey, I really don’t understand.”
And this is indeed a doubt that the village chief can't explain. But what he can say, he can only emphasize Yang Dalang's sacrifice and dedication to the village! It is the object that everyone should imitate! Talking and talking, he made an excuse and slipped away.
The other, Aunt Yu, listened to the whole thing by the side. After the village chief left, he couldn't help but come over to gossip.
"If you want me to say, it must be Miao Li's family who bullied people! Miao Jue may be the one who ordered it. You think, the new land that Dalang got is not a bit biased. Miao Li robbed Dalang's original house and took people Hurrying to the new land, his house will be more quiet! Tsk tsk, this is a domineering thing!"
"Huh? There is some truth to saying that. I also heard before that Mr. Miao's workshop has very strict conditions for finding people to work, and he doesn't even allow him to take a break and go home to help when he is busy with farming. How impersonal! It’s also the pride of one person, one person, once he has money, he will become different. Miao Li’s family, I can’t say it’s really like this!”
"I'm right," Aunt Yu was immediately stunned, "I still don't want to talk about collecting soybeans! It must be better than the price in the town! Hey, it turns out that the car money is included! But who? If you take the soybeans by car, you can also carry it yourself! Forget it, even if he has to deduct the money from the car at the price in the town, it’s really a good price, I’ve sold it once, auntie, so I’ll know!”
"True or false, and this matter? Then why didn't anyone hear it?"
"There are still some that are willing to sell. It's a few dollars short of money. It saves time for the journey back to the town. It's barely possible. Also, some beans that don't look good, sometimes the workshops also charge half price, and people are not allowed to do so. How happy."
"Bad beans? Eh, that makes things work..."
The man was about to say something, Aunt Yu hissed. "Wait, someone is here."
The two chatteringly stopped talking and turned to look at the two girls walking in the distance.
The two girls are wearing light green and goose yellow dresses respectively. In this era, the more elegant the color, the more expensive the fabric, on the contrary, the bright red and green ones are relatively cheap. This is a difference in craftsmanship.
So these two are wearing the best clothes in the village. The pale green one is Miao Yuan's cousin, a girl from the big house, and her boudoir name is Miao Jin'er. The goose-yellow one is Miao Yuan's younger sister, one year younger than that girl, and her boudoir name is Miao Duan'er.
Both of them are now fifteen or sixteen years old, in the Mood for Love, with a small face of a delicate level, and they are also dressed up. However, there was a hint of arrogance in their expressions, and the two held hands with each other, talking and laughing, and did not take the initiative to say hello when they met.
And Aunt Yu's personality is curious, so she immediately left the talented man and took the initiative to go up and say hello.
"Morning, Jin Wazi and Duo Wazi, who are dressed so beautifully today, where are you going?"
Miao Jin'er pursed her lips and said reservedly, "Aunt Yu, my little sister and I are getting older, so don't call us girls anymore. We are going to take the bus to town. Isn't it hot at home? Let the two of us go and choose some new batches of cloth so we can cut summer clothes for the family."
"Being able to choose new cloth and cut summer clothes in summer is not the treatment of a big family, it's really enviable! Why don't you see adults with you? The two girls are dressed so beautifully today, don't be bullied in the town. already."
It was Miao Duan's turn to speak softly, "Brother will wait for us at the town entrance."
Miao Jin'er added a little smugly, "After that, Brother Yuanzi will take us to a restaurant for dinner. Our family's tofu flowers are served there!"
"Oh, my aunt has never eaten such an expensive thing as bean curd flower. I heard that it is delicious. Let the villagers try bean curd flower at any time. The villagers will be asked if you are from Miaojia Village. What is the taste of bean curd, if you can't answer it, it's a joke?"
When Aunt Yu said this, she was also flattering, but Miao Duan listened to her ears, but thought she was trying to take advantage. Just like those inexplicable relatives that have popped up recently. Immediately he calmed down, "You will be beaten and scolded for stealing such expensive food at home. What the workshop earns is hard-earned money. Aunt Yu is considerate and considerate."
Aunt Yu immediately snorted in her heart.
No matter how expensive the food is, isn't it made of soybeans in the village, so is it possible that ginseng fish is added? What about the hard work and money, so hard enough to make the girls in the family wear new clothes and go to the restaurant? He said that he wanted to make everyone rich earlier, but it seems that the money only flows into his pockets.
While they were talking, a plain-looking little brother walked towards them quickly. "Third sister, fourth sister, I have something to discuss with Brother Yuan today. Let's go on the road with you."
Miao Duan's face was even worse, "It's not like I said don't call me Third Sister, Brother Chun, whoever yells indiscriminately, it's really not good for others to misunderstand me."
The little brother who was called Chunge'er flashed a look of boredom in his eyes, "If you live in a yard, A-Niang said it's too raw, and you can usually take care of each other. If the three girls and the four girls are not willing, I'll change my words."
Miao Jin'er raised her chin aside, "Aren't you also working in the workshop? Just call someone Miss."
When Min Chun was about to sneer, Aunt Yu chimed in and asked, "Who is this brother, and why is he staring at him?"
There are people in the village that she doesn't recognize!
Miao Jin'er quickly explained, "Brother Chun's name is Min Chun, he is a relative of the fourth uncle's uncle's house. The snow disaster in Yuanjia Village where he lived before, left him and his aunt to come to our house to be relatives. It doesn't matter."
Oh, it should be a poor relative, so I was disliked by others. Also called Miss.
Aunt Yu and the man who was chatting just now looked at each other, and the words just chatted in their hearts. Thinking about the incident at Yang Dalang's family, Aunt Yu felt that her guess was correct! After deciding to break up with the two girls, I had to talk to people everywhere.
