The Sickly General’s Spoiled Wife Has Space

   Chapter 170 Lively

   Usually, whoever builds a house in the village asks people from the village to help. For wood and other things, you need to spend some money, and then give money to the craftsmen.

  Others are relatively provincial, and the people in the village help out by taking care of two meals a day.

   But now is also the busy autumn season, so the villagers probably won’t be able to put much effort into it.

  If it's fine in normal times, this is the busy autumn season, when everyone is busy for a whole year, just waiting for this time to harvest grain and have a good harvest year, which is better for a good year.

   So it would be embarrassing to ask for help at this time.

  Su Binglan said, "Father and mother, let's hire the villagers to help with the work. If anyone in the village cooks delicious food, hire someone to cook. Each person is five cents a day.

  Su Wenzhe said: "In this case, the villagers will definitely be willing to come and help."

   It’s really a lot to know that you can manage meals and earn two cents a day.

  The villagers must be happy.

  Su Wenzhe was also very emotional. Before, he and his two younger brothers went to the town to find jobs, but they couldn't find them.

   is also a pier. If you can earn a few pennies a day, that’s all you need to do. Some people are rushing to do it.

   So there was no shortage of people at the pier, so they didn't find any work.

   Thinking about how many taels of silver you can make a day now, Su Wenzhe felt extremely satisfied when he compared them.

   Having endured hardships and experienced poverty in the past, Su Wenzhe cherishes the days when he can make money now.

   He is not afraid to put in a little more effort, as long as he can make money and let his family live a good life.

  Shen Qiuhua thought for a while and said, "It is more important to make tofu and open a shop. Don't worry about the money, build the house early, and feel at ease."

  Su Fengmao also nodded and said, "Well, just do it like this."

  Su Wenzhe thought of one thing and said, "Father and mother, the first thing you need to do to build a big house is to buy land. How much land should you buy?"

  Su Binglan thought for a while, and said, "Our old house is in the north, and there is a large open space behind it. I did a rough calculation. If there are ten acres of land, let's buy the ten acres of land."

   Liu Yinyin was surprised, "Is this ten acres of land used to build houses?"

   That house is too big.

  Liu Yinyin thought that building a house was a big house, but she never thought it would take up so much land.

  Su Binglan explained: "It doesn't take so much land to build a house. It's just that the backyard is built around the back. The backyard is used to grow some vegetables and so on, and it's easy to take care of."

  Shen Qiuhua said: "It's still as thoughtful as a girl thinks."

   As if thinking of something, Su Binglan asked, "Dad and mother, how much is an acre of land here?"

  Su Fengmao pondered and said, "What kind of land should be divided? Generally speaking, it is one tael of silver per mu, but your grandfather is righteous, and the price is definitely fair. He will only give us preferential prices, and will not raise the price."

  Shen Qiuhua said: "I looked at the land behind us. They are not suitable for farming. They are all wasteland. You can buy two taels of silver and three acres of land."

  Su Fengmao said: "Tomorrow I will go and ask my uncle."

   Su Fengmao's eldest uncle, Su Binglan and the others are called eldest grandfather, the elder brother of their own grandfather.

   is right in the village.

  Shen Qiuhua said: "When you go, I will prepare something for you, don't go empty-handed."

"I know."

  The family sat on the hot kang, ate hot meals, and discussed the matter of buying land and building a house. It was also very lively.

  Su Xuexuan and his younger brother Su Xuehai said: "We can live in a big house in the future."

  Su Xuehai clapped his hands happily, "Live in a big house, a big house."

  The family is also warm when they think that they will be able to live in a big house this year.

  I couldn't help but eat more.

  …

   The next day, Su Binglan and the others went to the town to open a shop.

  The family will come back together in the evening.

   As soon as he got home, Su Fengmao said excitedly: "Come in, come in quickly."

  Su Wenzhe looked at Su Fengmao's happy smile, and was also in a good mood, and said, "Dad is so happy, he must have bought the land."

  Su Fengmao said: "Of course, your father and I can't handle things well, and the land is really not a good land. Even if your grandfather sells it to us for one tael of silver or two acres, it will be fine to go to the town tomorrow to do the paperwork."

  Su Wenzhe did the math and said, "This time I really saved a lot of money."

  Su Fengmao agreed: "No, your grandfather is a good man, and it is much more convenient to do everything."

   Actually, it was Su Fengmao's grandfather who moved here a long time ago.

   At that time, it was still a wasteland, and there was no one home and no one to cultivate the land.

   It was Su Fengmao's grandfather's family who lived here, and then slowly people came to settle here, and gradually a village was formed.

   But everyone respects the people of the Su family, and the people of the Su family also manage all kinds of affairs in the village.

   So by this time, it was Su Fengmao's uncle Dang Lizheng.

  Su Binglan gave the blueprint of the house to Su Fengmao and said, "Father, go to Uncle Zhengde tomorrow and ask him to build the house according to the blueprint."

   "If you need anything to spend, give the money to the uncle."

  Su Binglan knew that Uncle Su Zhengde of the grandfather's family in the village was a carpenter.

  There is a house building project in the village, and he is also in charge of it.

  Su Binglan felt that he would just give him the blueprint and let him build a house according to the blueprint.

   The drawings are very detailed, and Su Binglan is not worried that Su Zhengde can't understand it.

  Su Fengmao carefully put the drawings in his pocket and said, "Daughter, don't worry, I'll go to the lobby brother to talk about this after dinner."

  After dinner, Shen Qiuhua packed Su Fengmao some things in a basket and asked him to take them to Su Zhengde's house to talk about these things.

   Now that the conditions at home are better, Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao went to their relatives to find someone to help with things, but they were not empty-handed.

   Besides, in the early days, when the family conditions were not good, it was these relatives who helped them, and Shen Qiuhua remembered the kindness.

   Now that the conditions are good, it is natural to return the rewards of courtesy.

  Su Fengmao came back in a hurry not long after he left.

   At this time, Su Binglan was talking to her family on the kang.

   Of course, there is no idle time.

   They talked while peeling the peanut skins.

  Shen Qiuhua saw Su Fengmao's hurry and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, why did you come back so soon?"

  Su Fengmao looked at Su Binglan and said, "Daughter, come to your uncle's house with me. Your uncle was very excited when he saw your drawings. He wanted to discuss it with you, and he said he wanted to come, so I'll tell you to come back and call you there."

   "Your uncle said that he has never seen such a good drawing. He is excited to know that you drew it."

   "I've never seen my brother in the lobby look like that."

  Su Binglan said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll go with Dad."

  Su Binglan didn't know when she would come back. She looked at Luo Jin'an and said, "You go home to rest first, and I'll go home when I come back."

  Luo Jin'an was on the kang to help peel the peanuts. Listening to Su Binglan's words, she nodded and said, "Okay."
