Chapter 138 Completion of the new house
After the first snowfall, there were several moderate snowfalls one after another. The weather was getting colder and colder, but the village of Da’ao was full of joy. Today this family kills New Year’s pigs, and tomorrow’s family kills New Year’s pigs, just like Chinese New Year. Even Su Liu and the others were invited to eat several meals of pig-killing rice.

In mid-November, the weather was fine and the north wind was cold. Su Liu and the others bought [-] catties of pork belly to make bacon from various houses.

The cured meat is colored and roped, and the small yard is full of laughter and laughter. Hanging strips of bacon on the pennies on the porch is not to mention how spectacular it is.

"In previous years, there was also bacon in the old house, but they were all given to your grandma's relatives, and your aunt. Let's try it during the Chinese New Year." While hanging the bacon, Chen said to said the two daughters.

"We can eat whenever we want this year." Su Liu said with a smile, "It doesn't matter where."

"Yes, Aunt Lin also said that every day in our house is like Chinese New Year." Su Xiao said with a grin.

Mrs. Chen grinned, their lives are getting better, they are no longer like before, they only have good meat to eat during the Chinese New Year, and now they really smell like meat every day.

"I heard that the two pigs raised in the old house were sold." Su Liu said again.

The old house wanted to marry Su Fusheng a wife, so they sold the two extremely fat pigs. I heard that Su Changsheng was still a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Your sister-in-law said that she was assigned to Mohe Town. She is very handsome. I heard that my grandfather was a scholar, but the family is in decline. Now he is just a sick younger brother and a mother, but he is poor. " Chen said in a low voice, "So I asked for a gift of five taels of silver."

Su Liu opened her eyes wide, five taels, in the countryside, it is considered a very big bride price.

"Then they are willing?"

"Why don't you agree? The second one likes it. I heard that she is prettier than the girl from the Bai family, she is thin-skinned and tender." Mrs. Chen exclaimed, "Your grandma and the others don't dare to procrastinate any longer. , I made a request, wanting to get married years ago."

"In such a hurry?"

It's already the middle of the month, and the Chinese New Year is one and a half months away, so I'm in a hurry to prepare for a marriage.

"Both families are in a hurry, and that family is also very poor. If there are fewer people, there will be less rations. Hey, hurry up. After all, marry a daughter-in-law to celebrate the New Year." Chen sighed.

"That's right, I don't know what date is fixed?" Su Liu laughed.

"If I look at it, it should be a good day on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month." Chen said with a smile, with some puns.

Su Liu didn't understand, her face was slightly red.

"Don't be ashamed, he's really caring, and he went to ask the third master to do this Baoshan, which is considered honorable for you." Seeing her blushing, Mrs. Chen sat beside her and said: "The roof of the house is closed today, so let's get the furniture up too."

Su Liu nodded and said with a smile: "I'm planning to go to Carpenter Liu in the town to have a look in two days. Mrs. Wu introduced it to me. It should be good."

Mrs. Chen nodded and said: "If it wasn't for you not being able to reach Ji, you might as well just get married. After the house is built, even though it's in your name, it's his money after all. I always feel it's inappropriate."

"Ning Guang said, before we get married, our family has more people now, and we will move to the new house when the furniture is packed, and he will move to live in this house."

"How does this work."

"What's wrong? Let's renovate this side too. When the time comes, we open the wall and make it into a courtyard. It's the same," Su Liu said.

Chen Shi pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said: "Then we have to discuss carefully, and the small building will be your new house."

"Mother!" Su Liu's face became hot, and she protested coquettishly.

"Sister, why are you blushing, you are going to get married anyway." Su Xiao teased with a smile.

"Little Hoof, see if I don't tear your mouth." Su Liu clicked her tongue, and rushed over to pinch her mouth.

Su Xiao kept hiding, giggling and begging for mercy, saying: "Good sister, please forgive me, I dare not."

"Don't dare, it will be better for you when you say kiss." Su Liu pinched her and her face turned red.

"I dare not, I dare not!" Su Xiao put his hands together and begged for mercy.

At this time, there was a burst of firecrackers outside the door, and the mother and daughter were taken aback.

"It should be that the house has been built." Su Liu said pleasantly: "Mother, let's go to see the new house."

"Hey." Mrs. Chen also wanted to see the new house, so she washed her hands together, ordered the iced tea to hang up the remaining bacon, and the mother and daughter walked out.

The new house has indeed been capped and built. The blue brick and tile house, the most conspicuous is the two-story building in the middle, which is very grand.

The layout of the new house is divided into three entrances. There is a main room for guests in the front yard, a guest room, and the inner house is where Su Liu and the others live.Five rooms are opened together, and there is a long screen wall at the back of the house, which divides the inner house into two, and builds a small two-story building. This is the new house of Su Liu and Ning Guang in the future. The first floor will be the living room and dining room. The second floor is housing.

For convenience, two clean rooms were built, both with dry toilets and showers. Even Su Liu's small building also built one, which avoided the trouble of going to the toilet in winter.

There are also five rooms in the backyard, which are intended for the servants to live in. There is a moon gate leading through it, and there are animal pens, woodsheds, and utility rooms, all of which are very neat.

While looking at it, Mrs. Chen sighed and said: "The houses in the houses of those big families are nothing more than this?"

Su Liu chuckled, and said: "Mother, why do those big families build livestock pens? Besides, they all have gardens, pavilions, and pavilions. That's the real mansion."

Mrs. Chen heard two hisses, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, we are only a few people, and we are truly blessed to live in this big house."

"Mother, what's the good fortune, our house is not too big." Su Liu said with a bit of a smile: "If you have seen the Cao family's house, it will be called grand and grand."

"But our house is also the most magnificent house in this village." Su Xiao said triumphantly.

"Look at you, you are virtuous." Chen said angrily.

Su Xiao stuck out her tongue, looked at the new house, and said, "I want to live in this house." She pointed to the west wing.

"Mother, you live in the main room." Su Liu pointed to the room in the middle.

Chen Shi laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Sister-in-law Chen, it's such a good day, don't lose the golden beans." Uncle Zhang and others also came at some time, and said with a smile, seeing this house with envy.

"That's right, when I have money, I'll build a house like this." Li Cheng said with a smile.

"Everyone has worked hard. Today we are hosts, so please have a good meal." Su Liu looked at Ning Guang and said boldly.

Cheers came from the crowd, and everyone dispersed to collect the sundries scattered around. Su Liu walked out of the new home with Mrs. Chen, discussing what to cook.

"Mei Niang!" Just as she walked out of the house, an old voice rang out beside her eardrums.
