"Mom and Dad, you see there's only a small area to the east of my bedroom. It's not too big to build a kitchen there. If you remove the stove, there'll only be an aisle. Besides, when the kids grow up, they'll have their own room. It'll be a bit crowded for the three of us when Jianguo comes back..."

When Mother Chen heard that her son was coming back, she also objected when she thought of her grandson.

Father Chen thought of an empty space around his home and built a house nearby to make it easier to take care of the child.

Then I remembered that there was a piece of land to the east of my house, which was large in area and close to the road in front of my door. I didn't use it at the time, so I just left it there.

I just told Su Xia about that location.

When Su Xia heard this, an image popped up in her mind. That place was to the east of her bedroom, only 5 meters away, and the area was just over half of the current Chen family's location.

The location is a bit small, so you can build the house to the back, which is the location at the back of the Chen family’s current three rooms. If the space is used reasonably, it will be enough.

Su Xia also wanted to be closer to the Chen family so that she could take care of the child by herself.

"Mom and Dad, this is what I want. We should build the house behind our house so that the front yard can be bigger. We can also build a firewood shed and toilet in the backyard, and we can grow some vegetables with the remaining space.

The wall should be built higher, and a small door should be opened on the wall closer to where I live now. In this way, I usually enter from this side and the door on the other side can be locked from the inside, so safety is guaranteed. ”

When Father Chen heard this, he thought it was a good idea. Since there were few people in the family, they could build an east wing. The main house and the west wing would be enough.

When Chen's mother heard that there was a door to be opened on the east wall, she thought it was like having a courtyard of her own, so she also started to help build the house.

Then the three of them discussed and decided to distribute the food tomorrow. After that, they would have a week to collect the beans, melons, and cabbages in the team, and then start building houses after everything was ready. They would definitely be able to live in them before winter.

Su Xia was relieved when she heard this, and took out the 500 yuan she had prepared and gave it to Chen's father with confidence.

Father Chen also knew that his daughter-in-law had money, so he just put it away and took the second and third sons' families together when the time came. Building a house in the countryside is easy, and his family can do it.

Su Xia didn't care. She threw the things to the old couple and let them deal with it themselves. She also gave Chen's mother 15 yuan for three months' pension, and took Niu Niu, who had just woken up, back home.

Father Chen carried a separate bag of brown sugar, a bag of white sugar, and 5 boxes of cigarettes and went to Captain 꺶's house.

At Captain 꺶's home, the captain's wife saw Father Chen carrying a basket, led him into the house with excitement, and placed a bowl of brown sugar water in front of him.

Captain Zhao looked at Chen's father, probably wanting to ask for something, and then waited for Chen's father to speak first.

"Captain, there is a small piece of land to the east of where I live now. Can the team grant it to me?"

Captain Zhao thought about it and decided that there was such a position, and since most of the children were willing to take it, he decided to stay.

"That place is small, but it is also a residential site. If you want to build a house, the team can approve it for you. This is the rule."

When Father Chen heard that there was a chance, he said that the land was for building a house for his son's family. Fang Xiao didn't mind as it was connected to his own yard and would be convenient.

When the captain's wife heard that it was the famous spendthrift wife in the team, she rolled her eyes cautiously. Now that the harvest is good, only Su Xia can afford it.

Then he became happy again, because this basket was his own. He hadn't seen brown sugar and white sugar for almost half a year.

She looked at her man anxiously.

"Okay, no one wants that piece of land, and they all think it's too small, so I'll give it to you."

Captain 꺶 did not object.

The captain's wife heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, knowing that the things were now hers, and then she went to get busy.

When Chen's father came, he took the note approved by Captain Ji, spent 30 yuan, which was not expensive, and went home.

Chen's mother was anxiously waiting at home. Su Xia was completely relieved when she saw Chen's father come in with the note, and she just waited to build the house.

At the beginning of the second day, the whole team was busy digging melons and beans.

Su Xia and Chen's mother collected everything in the backyard. They collected all the vegetables that needed to be collected and put them in the cellar in the backyard.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took advantage of the team's busy work to clean up.

I went directly to the backyard from the backyard and brought back all the wild vegetables, some local fruits, walnuts and the like that I could find.

After a busy few days, the autumn harvest is officially over.

After all the food was distributed, the whole team was enthusiastic.

The Chen family shared 100 kilograms of wheat. 1,000 jin of corn kernels, 4,000 jin of melons and beans, and about 10 jin of some beans, millet and the like.

These sound like a lot, and a family of more than ten people needs to eat them until the summer harvest of the following year, which is nearly half a year, and it is enough to eat.

The place where Su Xia lives is geographically located in the north, but the temperature is acceptable. They can harvest a batch of wheat in summer and then plant corn and other crops. The wheat yield is high.

Su Xia also bought a batch of food with the team, 200 kilograms of wheat, 200 kilograms of corn kernels, two sacks of melons and beans, soybeans, mung beans, millet... 20 kilograms each, which is a difference of more than 50 yuan.

Of course, this attracted the disgust of other people in the village, and some of those who were not as good as Su Xia said all kinds of bad things about her behind her back.

Su Xia looked around and saw her second brother and his wife, but she ignored them and went back with the Chen family.

Su Xia is the type who doesn't care about other people's lives as long as she is living a good life.

After the second and third brothers helped Su Xia move the food into the house.

Su Xia arranged everything first, took out a piece of fatty pork that she had prepared long ago, which was almost a pound, and five eggs, and went to find Chen's mother after putting everything in order.

Su Xia also knew that with the distribution of grain today, every family would be able to have enough to eat, and those with better conditions would be able to improve a little.

Su Xia was also doing a favor. Tonight, Chen's father talked about building a house. In order to shut up the second and third sons, he did a favor. After all, the family had been divided.

Mother Chen didn't say anything when she saw Su Xia's things. Her daughter-in-law had told her before, and besides, it was to improve the food, so it was better for her family to get the advantage.

Today's dinner is definitely the highest quality meal in the Chen family's history.

Father Chen and others had been waiting impatiently.

The children ran around, attracted by the smell from the kitchen.

After everyone was seated, a pot of greasy pork belly stewed with beans, a pot of fried cabbage, and a plate of golden scrambled eggs were placed on the table, and the food was steamed buns made of cornmeal and wheat flour.

Everyone's eyes widened. Su Xia held Niu Niu and sat next to Chen's mother. The mother and daughter were doing well and normal in the past two months.

Su's mother distributed the meat, giving each person two thin slices and an egg, and everyone and children got one.

Throw the rooster and yell "Let's eat!"

In an instant, chopsticks flew up. Su Xia gave half of the steamed bun to Niu Niu, picked up some vegetables, and ate her own dish slowly.

Niu Niu also started eating bite by bite.

The third daughter-in-law, Liu Chunxia, ​​also took care of her two children first before she started eating.

Forehead……

As soon as Xia Laidi from the second daughter's family started to snatch the meat from the bowl of her own daughter, the third daughter, the two daughters ran to sit next to their grandmother.

Mother Chen glared at her. This second son's wife was so honest and shameless.

Xia Lai Di looked at Chen's mother's murderous eyes and quickly took the chopsticks out of Wu Ya's bowl. She was going to cry, and Chen's mother would definitely scold her.

Su Xia looked at the lawsuit on the table and understood the Chen family better.

Everyone else looked good, except for my second brother's wife Xia Laidi, who was good at work, but she favored boys over girls, which could be seen from her name.

They also like to compare and gossip, but Su Xia doesn't care about that, just don't let it happen in front of her.

After everyone had finished eating and the women had cleaned up, the children went to the yard to play hide-and-seek.

Su Xia from the second and third families stayed in the main room waiting for Chen's father and mother to start the meeting.

Father Chen didn't waste any words and directly told Su Xia that he was going to build a house, and asked the second and third sons to start laying the foundation and building the house tomorrow.

Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun didn't say anything. Since their brother was around, their sister-in-law would definitely help.

Xia Lai Di and Liu Chun Xia looked a little unhappy. The autumn harvest had just ended, and all the clothes in their house had to be altered or thickened... This?

"Dad, I can help you. What about my sister-in-law's family? Can you ask our family to come? I have a lot of things to do in my own room." Xia Laidi was really happy to do so. No one would do anything that had no benefits.

Su Xia looked at Chen's father and mother and saw that they didn't say anything else, knowing that this was left for her to live her life.

"What my second sister-in-law said is right. I will go back to my parents' home tomorrow and find my two brothers' homes. I will ask my father and brother to come and help me build a house. I will give them 50 yuan each. My sister-in-law will definitely be happy." Su Xia wanted to spoil this second sister-in-law.

When Xia Lai Di heard the 50 yuan, her eyes widened. She didn't have that much money in the whole year, so she anxiously tugged at her man's clothes.

When Liu Chunxia heard that there was money to be made, she agreed.

Father Chen was also satisfied with Su Xia, thinking that he was a good person. Brothers should settle accounts clearly and get along well with each other.

Afterwards, he notified the two families that they would start digging the foundation and building the house tomorrow, and then he went back to rest.

Su Xia did not refute and went back with Niuniu.
