Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 118 Build a House Directly

Zhu Xiaochang didn't know how happy he was that his suggestion was adopted. In fact, he didn't have time to think about it. Xia Qinghe said before that it might make life easier for the family. He didn't think much about it before. Well, his mind is also active.

He saw that every time Xia Qinghe had to go to the back to fetch water, and every time he had to wait for a long time to fetch water, he felt distressed. He chose to build a house here because of the mountain spring, but the mountain spring was just enough for the family's daily use, and it took a lot to make starch. Water, so he felt that if Xia Qinghe continued to do this business in the future, he would definitely not be able to stay here.

And the last time Xiao Chu also talked about the issue of safety, he felt that this time or two was also lucky, fortunately nothing happened, but what about next time?Everyone knows where their family lives, maybe someone will miss it next time, maybe it will be someone who comes with a knife next time?

He was not afraid of death, but he was worried that something would happen to Xia Qinghe.

Xia Qinghe smiled gently, feeling that Zhu Xiaochang has become a lot smarter recently: "I used to say that you are not stupid, but you are always playing with your head, and your mother used to let you treat you as an imbecile. When your brain is active, you will be smart."

Zhu Xiaochang scratched his head in embarrassment. Although he didn't know what Xia Qinghe meant by imbecile, he knew that Xia Qinghe was praising him.

"Qinghe is all thanks to you." He was very grateful to Xia Qinghe for giving him everything now.

The people in the village are quick and strong, so the roof was built in the evening, and the gate was replaced. Some people even brought lime from their own homes to brush the walls, and the burnt places were removed. It's an earth wall, so it's not a problem to shovel the outside.

She felt a little sorry for asking everyone to do things on the first day of the new year, so everyone paid a lot of money.

At any rate, the small courtyard returned to its original appearance. Zhu Xiaochang tidied up his bed, and he couldn't take anything on it. He reluctantly took it out and threw it away.

Xia Qinghe is not too tired, after all, she has been resting when everyone is doing things.

It's just that Xiao Chu and Da Huzi haven't come back yet, which makes her worried.

Xia Qinghe ate something and stood outside the yard looking in the direction of Xiao Chu's house, but he never saw anyone come back.

Aunt Chu was worried that Xia Qinghe would be in trouble, so she took the initiative to come to Xia Qinghe's place to wait with her.

Zhu Xiaochang moved a stool, and lit a fire along the way: "Don't worry, you might be back in a while."

Xia Qinghe was very worried. Logically speaking, he would be back in a while, but he still hasn't come back yet. I really don't know what's wrong.

Although Aunt Chu was also worried, but thinking about it, nothing would happen. After all, both Xiao Chu and Da Huzi were capable, and they definitely wouldn't let outsiders bully them.

She looked at Xia Qinghe and comforted her worriedly: "Qinghe, don't worry, nothing will happen. You still think about whether to move to the village. You said that if you lived in the village, these things would not happen today. No matter how rampant Cao Bin is, he can still come to the village, as did Zhu Dashi before, if you don’t live this far, nothing will happen.”

She felt that Xia Qinghe was still young, so he wasn't remembered much, but what about older?If you get older, there will be more people who are worried about it. Who doesn't want to find a rich wife? Xia Qinghe is capable and good-looking. Among other things, she also thinks that Xia Qinghe is a good wife.

If she hadn't had further contact with Xia Qinghe, knowing that Xia Qinghe was a high-minded person and looked down on the young men in the village, she would have really wanted the big tiger to marry Xia Qinghe.

When she saw Xia Qinghe just before, didn't she just have such an idea, although it's gone now, it doesn't rule out that others don't either.

Xia Qinghe was reminded by Zhu Xiaochang that she was already sober, and she was not stubborn about living here. It is one thing to like quietness, but compared with her own life, it is obvious that her own life is more important.

"Auntie is right. I've also decided to move to the village. By the way, who owns the open space next to Xiao Chu's house?" She asked suspiciously. She definitely didn't want to go to the village, but Xiao Chu Chu's side is not far from the village, and the village can hear it even if it is a little louder.

Aunt Chu is a smart person, she immediately understood what Xia Qinghe meant, her eyes lit up and she said, "Are you planning to build a house next to Xiao Chu's house?"

To Aunt Chu, Xia Qinghe didn't intend to hide anything.

Seriously said: "I also like the village quite a bit, but you also know that I don't like to be too lively. The only people I know in the village are your family, Er Gouzi's family and Xiao Chu, but your family and Er Gouzi's family There is no open space near Zi’s house, so I can only choose next to Xiao Chu’s house, and another reason is that the side of Xiao Chu’s house is closer to the river, and I need water to make starch.”

Aunt Chu felt that what Xia Qinghe said made sense: "Yes, there is indeed no open space in the village to build houses, but there are empty houses without households, but it is troublesome to demolish and build them. The forests near our village are not divided. It is vacant, just tell the people in the village, seven or eight families agree to you and you can build it, no one can control you, but building a house is not a trivial matter, do you really plan?"

She felt that it would take at least a few taels of silver to break ground and build a house. She didn't know how much money Xia Qinghe had earned, but she knew that it was not easy for Xia Qinghe to earn money, and Xia Qinghe had also said before that he might leave here.

Since you have to leave here, it is not cost-effective to build a house.

She looked at Zhu Xiaochang at the side, and felt a little moved. She guessed that the house was also prepared for Zhu Xiaochang.

Xia Qinghe sometimes said whatever he wanted was whatever he wanted, anyway, as long as he figured it out, he could change it quickly. The disadvantages that Zhu Xiaochang said were indeed troublesome things, and of course it would be best if they could be resolved now.

"I really plan to build a house, and it's still tiled. I asked Uncle Dayou before, and Uncle Dayou said that tiles are not easy to buy, right?"

"It must be. There are people in Gou's Village who burn tiles, but it would be too expensive to ship them so far away." Chu was a little helpless. Her family's thatched roof had long been wanted to be replaced, but there was no other way. How much is the shipping fee back and forth, not to mention the price of the tiles.

Xia Qinghe had her own idea. She used to live in the countryside, and there was a tile kiln factory in her village. At that time, her parents both worked in the tile kiln factory. It is not difficult to burn tiles, and it is not difficult to make tiles.

She thought that if some people in the village were willing, they could dig a small cave together and burn it out directly, not to mention the long-term, just let the people in the village use it.

And she saw that the soil near Xiao Chu's house was suitable for firing tiles.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, her eyes sparkling.
