The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 180

He Lian led Zhu Niang and Ju Niang to cook dinner, and set up two tables in the main room, one for the master and one for the servants.

Everyone in the Great Wasteland is used to chatting while eating, especially at night, everyone has to briefly talk about what they did during the day. Today, because of the presence of so many outsiders, no one is ashamed to take the initiative to speak. The maids were afraid of their master's authority, and they were even more trembling. They didn't even dare to pick up the vegetables, and they buried their heads in the rice. Only the twins were unaffected and babbled in children's language, and the adults ate cautiously.

After eating in silence, He Tao made another rule that the master and the servants will have meals separately from tomorrow morning.

Night fell and it was bedtime.

According to He Tao's previous plan, the twins should live in two rooms with their respective servants.

But the two babies have never been separated since they were born, and they have always slept in the same crib. The bed was only separated at the beginning of this summer, and the two beds were still side by side, and their little hands passed through the bed. He Tao suddenly separated them into two rooms, which was terrible, as soon as they left each other's sight, they started crying, no matter who it was, no matter how coaxed they were, they would not listen Loud.

As soon as Fu Shi heard their cries, he felt distressed. He first compromised and persuaded He Tao, "Why do we have to separate now? Let the two of them sleep in the same room. The child is still young anyway!"

This is indeed not something that can be accomplished overnight, and He Tao also compromised.

So before going to bed, she changed the residences of several people again. Mei Niang and Lan Niang took the twins to share a room with He Lian, while Zhu Niang and Ju Niang went to sleep in their original rooms respectively.When they came, they were all empty-handed, they didn't even have any belongings, they just took themselves there, and within a quarter of an hour they settled down again.

The two girls slept in the back of the room, and they didn't know whether it was because they had won the resistance and were so happy to celebrate together, or because they lost it and were worried about losing it again, so they pushed forward and asked to sleep on the same bed.The two held each other's hand and looked at He Tao with teary eyes. He Tao was so cute by the girls that he lost his principles again and compromised.

They are still sleeping in the custom-made crib. It was no problem for the two of them to sleep when they were breastfeeding the baby, but now it is a bit crowded.It's a pity that they don't care about it at all. Each of them is holding a fluffy rabbit in their arms. Your legs are on my body, and my hands are on your stomach. They are inseparable like conjoined twins.

As usual, He Tao read a rhythmic enlightenment to them, and went back to his room after they fell asleep.She turned out the design drawing of the new house that she had drawn during the day. Originally, she planned to give Dongzhi and Dongye a small yard, but now it seems that the division of houses is a must, so let's forget about the division of yards!She decisively crossed out two yards on the drawing.

"How is the newcomer?" Fu Shi asked her while fanning the wind with a cattail fan: "Do you think you can take care of our girl?"

He Tao nodded and said, "It seems to be pretty good so far...Uncle Luo has a good eye, and he picks out those who are honest and obedient. These four have all raised children before selling their bodies, so I don't think it's a big problem. Then How many little girls are there?"

Fu Shi had encountered all kinds of soldiers, and it was the first time for a "female soldier". Besides, she was still an ignorant baby girl. He felt dizzy just thinking about it, and twisted his neck helplessly. : "They're all still little dolls, besides, female dolls are inherently more delicate, can't bear hardships, cry when scolded, I can't beat them?! Hey... It's not bad if half of these eight can learn. .”

He Tao said calmly: "Half of it is not bad, but not everyone is suitable for martial arts."

"That's right, let's practice first and then talk. I will add a few more if it suits me later. Not only girls, I have to buy a few boys for our son!" Fu Shi stretched out his hand to cover He Tao's face as he spoke. The abdomen began to be stroked gently: "Son, you grow up in your mother's belly obediently, and come out when you become fat in vain. From now on, Dad will take you and your sisters to ride horses every day..."

Fu Shi has recently started teaching Jushi Wei to ride and shoot, but there is only one horse in the family, and forty people contact each other in turn. After one day, the horse is not right. Fu Shi took advantage of Luo Baocheng to send someone over. Annoyed, he asked him to help find a batch of good horses, and bought a few ponies by the way, saying that they would be prepared for the girls, and when the girls were able to walk steadily, he would teach her to ride horses.

He Tao listened to his ramblings with a smile on his face, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart, oh my god, what if this baby is a daughter again!

The next day, He Tao continued to "design" the new house.

She chose the most orthodox courtyard with three entrances from the map provided by Luo Baocheng as the prototype, and then painted and modified it to design the courtyard that will be built in the Great Wasteland.

At the beginning, He Tao planned to build five small courtyards. The front one was the main courtyard where she and Fu Shi lived. The four courtyards at the back were divided into two rows. , Dongye, and the two rooms on the right are reserved for the next two sons under Fu Shi's strong request-He Tao has no way to do anything about his blind self-confidence, but according to what Fu Shi often said, "We It’s not that I can’t afford the money.” Let’s build it!

After learning about the twins' resistance to housing allocation, she crossed out two small courtyards, and the three courtyards were arranged in a font, one for the daughters and one for the "sons".

The layout of the two small courtyards for the children is exactly the same, which is the most formal structure of a three-entry courtyard house, with only minor changes in details.

The whole courtyard faces south from the north, and the courtyard gate is opened on the left side of the front courtyard wall, facing the gate at a distance.Enter the main entrance and face the screen wall, turn right and enter the front yard through the moon gate. On the right side are three servant rooms leading to the socket, and directly opposite is the front corner yard.Two large rooms, one bright and one dark in the corner courtyard, are used as the outer study and living room.

Enter the inner courtyard through the vertical flower gate on the central axis of the front yard.The ground of the inner courtyard is divided into four small pieces by the cross-shaped gravel road, which are reserved for planting flowers, plants and trees, placing peace jars or other decorations.

The west wing on the right has three rooms, one bright, two dark, and they are study room, living room and bedroom.The ear room is close to the second entrance wall and serves as a clean room.The structure of the east chamber and the west chamber is exactly the same.

The main house is connected with the wing rooms on both sides by hand corridors. The main room is a large room with the same floor area as the three wing rooms. Fire walls are built and wooden floors are built. It has the same function as the play house, which is for children to play together. place.The end close to the small kitchen in the backyard was separated as a large bathroom, and a low window was specially opened to facilitate the maids to carry hot water directly from the backyard.

The west side room of the main building is the warehouse, and the east side room is the clean room, which is adjacent to the hall.From the hallway to the third small backyard, behind it is the rear cover room, the maid's room and the corner yard used as a small kitchen.A side door was opened in the corner yard to facilitate the transportation of firewood, coal and other consumables.

The main courtyard of He Tao and Fu Shi is a simplified version of the three-entry courtyard.

He Tao didn't plan to keep waiters in the courtyard, nor did she plan to entertain guests here. She changed the formal layout of the courtyard beyond recognition. The east and west sides were directly replaced by verandas, and the four side rooms on both sides were all directly removed. , the hallway was merged by the east and west houses, and only the inverted house in the front yard and the cover room in the back yard were kept.

The only formal building in the courtyard is the main house with one bright room, two dark rooms and three rooms.The east room is a kang room, and the west room is a bed room. The living room in the middle occupies the largest area, with floors and fire walls, which can be used in all seasons.The east and west houses have small doors leading to the small backyard.There is also a small kitchen in the backyard, and the cover room has been converted into a large bathroom, washroom and cleaning room.

He Tao deeply felt that it was enough, and Fu Shi also deeply felt that it was enough.

The courtyard of the daughters is called Mingzhuyuan, which means the bright pearl in the palm of the hand. The courtyard of the sons is called Zilinyuan, which means Liner under the knee. She named the main courtyard "Five Star Courtyard". Thinking it meant "Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai", He Tao answered vaguely, but actually five stars meant five stars, and she wanted to create a "five-star presidential suite" for herself.

After the couple finalized the plan, He Youliang asked He Youliang to send the blueprints to Master Li in the town, and asked him to add and reduce the space needed for building fire walls and kangs, and finally took the house that had already been built for them twice. Master Xu was invited by Fu Shi to the Great Wasteland.

After Fu Shi finished explaining to the blueprints, he asked Master Xu: "You see, when will the work be finished?"

Master Xu frowned and calculated silently in his heart, and then recalculated in order to be cautious, before he said: "As long as there are sufficient manpower and materials, the project can be completed in two months. If everything goes well, you can move in by the end of September." went in."

Fu Shidao: "It's okay for us to do part-time jobs. If you are familiar with it, you have to bring it over, Master Xu."

There are forty strong men in the big backyard, so there is no need to worry about no one doing hard work!

Master Xu nodded to show that there is no problem: "It's okay, I'll bring all my disciples and grandchildren. For odd jobs, the more people you can find, the better. The more people you have, the faster you can work."

Master Xu prepared the list of materials, how many tiles and bricks to use, and how many pieces of wood... He Tao passed the list to He Youliang, the bride-to-be, and asked him to be responsible for recruiting people and buying materials. Rong Dazhuang, the fat son, assisted him.The furniture was handed over to an old acquaintance, Carpenter Lin, and Master Xu was in charge of the project. She and Fu Shi were naturally hand-off shopkeepers. One was raising babies and the other was training soldiers.

The people in Rongshu Village have become numb. It seems that the Fu family in Dahuangdi needs to repair the house once a year. However, if there is work, they will get paid. They would rather that the Fu family really repair the house once a year in the future.

When it was time to officially start the construction and ram the ground, everyone discovered something unusual. How could such a large foundation be used?Or three dollars? !Could it be that the Fu family wants to build three courtyards?Their family is so rich? !

When deciding to build a house, He Tao was ready to face these questions, and had already told He Youliang how to explain it.

Once used by He Tao to fool Fu Quan, the story of "the soldier took the risk to save the general, and the general thanked Daen with a lot of money" came in handy again and spread through He Youliang's mouth.This time He Tao added a follow-up, saying that the general was promoted last year and remembered Fu Shi: If you hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't have everything I am today, so he called Fu Shi back to the border town and rewarded him He has a penny.

The reason why she said this was for two purposes: one was to find a reasonable reason for the source of the family's money, and the other was to take advantage of He Yuanyuan's reputation to suppress Xiaoxiao who had evil intentions!
Facts have proved that the first goal has been achieved.Fu Shi was not the first in the village to go out to serve as a soldier, but he was the only one who came back in his prime. No one would believe him even if he said he was looking for connections and going through the back door. Moreover, everyone in the village knew that Fu Shi I took a long trip last summer, and it was easy to accept this statement.

Half of the second goal was achieved, and the villagers really didn't dare to provoke them—in fact, no one dared to do so after the exposure of the Giant Stone Guard, but there were still a lot of acid words.

Some people dug up last year's "Da Zhou's serious illness, He Tao borrowed money" and said that she was acting and unfilial. It is unlucky to break ground at home, waiting for her to conceive... Wait.

However, He Tao has now also practiced the stunt of "thousand arrows piercing the heart as if waiting for nothing".

Just say it, anyway, sister will not lose a piece of meat, anyway, they have no ability to say it in front of their faces.Besides, those who said these words were a small number of diehards after all, and most people had a friendly attitude towards the Great Wasteland.

The days passed day by day, and it was mid-September in the blink of an eye. Although the project was suspended for more than ten days due to the busy autumn harvest, the house in Dahuangdi was completed within the scheduled time limit.

Fu Quan and others, who went out of the province to do business for the first time, also returned to Rongshu Village just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
