After Tian Cuilan and Meifang resumed their previous friendship, she also learned a lot about Yang Tiezhu and his daughter-in-law from Meifang.

Tian Cuilan didn't know what was going on with her now. When she first came back, she never thought to ask about anything. Ever since she met Yang Tiezhu and his wife on the road, and saw that lucky woman again at the Yang family wedding banquet, her heart seemed to be opened.

Because of her performance at the Yang family's wedding banquet, her mother thought she was still thinking about Brother Tie Zhu, so she said a few words to her. She knew that the woman was the daughter-in-law bought by Brother Tie Zhu, and she knew that the two had been married for some time. As for Aunt Tian's intention to say this, she wanted to alert her to what she meant.

But from Meifang, she knew how happy this little daughter-in-law was. It is said that many people in the village know that the love of the two people, being held in the palm of the hand by a man all day long, but now pregnant again...

Tian Cuilan thought, she was as happy as she imagined, and her happiness made her jealous.

Why can she be so happy? Tian Cuilan knew that the source of women's happiness was actually in men, and it was because of Brother Tie Zhu...

Her brother Tie Zhu is so good...

It's just that she hadn't seen Brother Tie Zhu for a long time, so she could only try her best to dig something about those two people from Meifang's mouth to soothe her restless heart.

Aunt Tian is also very happy these days, because her daughter finally knows that she can go out and walk around to relax.

Chapter 81

Time passed gradually in the busyness, and Lin Qingwan had been pregnant for more than 7 months and almost 8 months in a blink of an eye.

The family's house is nearing completion, and there are only a few corners left to be repaired. The carpenter hired by Yang Tiezhu has already started to make furniture inside.

The carpenter hired was Carpenter Cui, who had done things for Lin Qingwan several times. Carpenter Cui was honest and tight-lipped. Before he came, he just worked on his behalf and didn't say anything. He didn't even tell the rest of his family. He brought his son and apprentice to the door and buried himself in life.

Lin Qingwan asked several times to come and see how the house was, but Yang Tiezhu refused to let her go. It was said that it was messy inside, and she had a big belly, and it would be bad to bump it. Moreover, pregnant women are generally not allowed to break ground at home, for fear of shocking the fetus, but Luoxia Village does not pay much attention to this, but it is always good to avoid seeing them.

It was not until now that the house was completed that Yang Tiezhu accompanied Lin Qingwan to take a look.

The overall structure of the house is similar to what Lin Qingwan thought.

The front yard is very large, with a row of three-room main houses on the front, and a row of three-room large tile-roofed houses on the left. There are also three tile-roofed houses on the right side, namely the stove room, the utility room, and the other room for bathing. In the yard there are barns and places for mule carts, and a well.

The ground of the yard is paved with bluestone slabs, which was suggested by Uncle Lu when the house was built. He thought that the walls of the courtyard had cost a lot of money, and the house inside was not badly built. He couldn't find the ground in the yard still soil, so he suggested Yang Tiezhu to buy some bluestone slabs to cover the yard.

It just so happened that Lin Qingwan was distressed that there was no concrete floor here, and when it rained, there would be a foot of mud in the yard at home. Hearing that Yang Tiezhu conveyed that bluestone slabs are not expensive, he covered the yard with bluestone slabs.

Entering the main room, the middle room is the main room. The design of this main room is not like a kang in Luoxia Village, but a serious design. The middle position is a very simple Taishi wall, and the middle hall can be hung on the wall. There are also couplets in the paintings, and the ancestral tablets can also be placed, but they have not yet reached that stage. I didn't even buy the Zhongtang painting, I waited for it to buy it together.

Below the painting in the middle hall is a table, and in front of the table is a square table of the Eight Immortals, slightly lower than the long table, with an armchair on each side. There are four armchairs on each side of the lower head. These furniture were driven out by Carpenter Cui these days. According to Yang Tiezhu, the carpentry could be finished soon.

The west room on the right is a bright room design. There is no partition in the middle, but it is completely open. There is a large round table of the Eight Immortals. There is a table next to the window. There will also be some decorative paintings, but they are still empty.

On the east side is the usual style of Luoxia Village. There is a kang along the wall, two armchairs and a small table next to the wall, and a high table under the window, with nothing on it.

There was a kang cabinet and a kang table on the kang, and Lin Qingwan touched the furniture while looking at it. Carpenter Cui's craftsmanship is really good, and she even carved some auspicious patterns on the furniture.

The furniture is all wood color. Carpenter Cui originally wanted to paint it, but Lin Qingwan refused. He only asked Yang Tiezhu to tell him that it would be better to keep the original color of the wood, so Carpenter Cui only painted a few layers of varnish on the furniture. It looks simple and elegant, but Lin Qingwan thinks it looks better than any red paint.

The wood was tight and tight, and Lin Qingwan didn't know what material it was. The color was a natural reddish-brown color.

There is also a simple hall on the far side of the west side, from which you can go to the back. There is a door in the hall. If you close it from the outside, you can't see that you can pass people here.

When you get to the back, you can see a small courtyard. It is said that the courtyard is actually very simple, it is a small courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. On the left is the east wing, on the right is the west wing, with two rooms each. Among them, there is a small stove room in the west wing, which is smaller than the one in front, but the stove and cabinets inside are very complete. The other three rooms are all houses that can live in. There are kangs, kang cabinets and wardrobes inside.

The three rooms facing the front are the main rooms, and there is a strip under the wall in the middle.

A few, there are still paintings or embroidery for decoration on the walls. Lin Qingwan wanted to embroider a large pair of embroidery pictures to hang on it, but it is estimated that there is no time for it now, and it is estimated that there will be no time in the next year.

In the center of the main room is a round table of the Eight Immortals, which can be used for meals at ordinary times. The east room is the sleeping room. There is a kang and a cabinet specially made for storing clothes. Next to the window is Lin Qingwan's dressing table. There is a high table next to the dressing table.

In the west room, Lin Qingwan planned to use it as a living room. There was a kang next to the window, a high chair and two armchairs were placed against the wall, and there was an empty space on the side where Lin Qingwan planned to put her embroidery frame.

For the convenience of taking a bath in the future, Lin Qingwan had a small room in the front and rear east rooms to use as a bath room, with a stove and a bathtub.

Now the conditions here are like this, and it is extremely rare to be able to do this.

The windows in the house have not been made yet. In ancient times, unlike modern windows, they were all made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy. Just buy them and install them directly. Here, a carpenter needs to make them a little bit.

At this time, Carpenter Cui and his son were making windows with wooden lattice windows. Lin Qingwan took a closer look, the pattern was very beautiful. She really sighed that the craftsmanship of the ancient craftsmen was so exquisite, and a window could be made so beautiful.

After reading it, Lin Qingwan went to the backyard again. What she asked for at the beginning was to divide the backyard into two parts, one part was connected to the front, and passed through a small door next to the east wing. There are vegetable gardens, wells, and pens for raising pigs and pigs. Well, I don't have time to support these for the time being, I'll talk about it later.

There are also two jujube trees. According to Yang Tiezhu, he moved these trees from elsewhere, but this year, there is no need to think about the jujube trees. It is estimated that it will take a year or two.

The other part is a small workshop planned by her and Yang Tiezhu. The small workshop occupies a large area. There is a large open space outside for drying and drying preserved meat. There are three rooms next to it, two of which are used for hanging fresh preserved meat, and the other is a processing room. There is a well in the courtyard, and a barn for parking mule carts. From this side, there is also a small door to the house in front. Yang Tiezhu specially opened an extra door on the courtyard wall in order to facilitate the delivery of goods in and out. There is a path to go out, and you can directly bypass the village through the path.

The two parts of the backyard are separated by a wall that is as high as one person, but there are small doors in the middle.

Lin Qingwan also went to see the latrine. As she designed, the entire latrine is made of blue bricks, with a small pond in the middle. The septic tank is covered with bluestone, which can be opened when digging out the septic tank. There is not only one latrine in the backyard, but also one in the small workshop. The same septic tank is also used to make it easier to use the toilet.

After the tour, the smile on Lin Qingwan's face increased a lot. Overall, the house was built very much in line with her wishes. Although it was a little different, everything was mainly for her own needs. It was a very beautiful farmyard.

After shopping for so long, she was also tired. Yang Tiezhu said a few words to Carpenter Cui, and then helped her back.

On the way home, Lin Qingwan discussed with Yang Tiezhu what to add to the house. Yang Tiezhu replied with a smile, and then took what his daughter-in-law said in his heart.

******

The mud tile team first built a house for Yang Tiezhu and the others, and when the second room was almost completed, they went to the third room.

However, the third room was simple and not as complicated as Lin Qingwan's request, so it was built very quickly. After Lin Qingwan's carpentry work was done, their house was also built.

The furniture requested by the third room was not as detailed as Lin Qingwan requested, but it was also made by Carpenter Cui. Mr. Yao came here to see it and said that Carpenter Cui was good at craftsmanship.

After the masonry team and the carpenter finished their work, Yang Tiezhu checked around and paid all the money. The house and furniture cost more than 100 taels in total, which is still not the money for the courtyard wall, but about 160 taels for the courtyard wall.

With more than half of the money in their hands gone, Yang Tiezhu and Lin Qingwan both felt their flesh aches. But the furniture of the house made them very satisfied, and there was no pain in the flesh.

Among them, the furniture, tables, chairs and cabinets in the light house, as well as doors and windows, etc., were paid to Cui Carpenter for more than 30 taels. However, Yang Tiezhu is also knowledgeable about wood. How could he possibly not understand wood when he often travels in the mountains? He knew that Carpenter Cui gave them good wood for their home, and he didn't think the money was worthless.

Carpenter Cui and his son earned the money they earned in the past one or two years without saying a word. Both felt that the hard work during this time was worth it. But they didn't tell the family, but secretly had fun. It's not because of anything else, just because Yang Tiezhu and the others have done these things on their behalf, so don't talk about it outside.
