Chapter 335 Changes in the Yard
Old Mrs. Lin was paralyzed because she was too excited when she heard about Lin Zhenjian's house.
Song Wei clicked her tongue twice, showing no sympathy at all.
Who knows what’s going on in Mrs. Lin’s house right now.
But Song Wei couldn't eat this melon, because if someone saw it, people would gossip about her.
"Let's go check out the situation at Old Lady Lin's house and tell you then. After all, you are now Lin Zhen's fiancée. If people see you not only not helping but also joining in the fun, those confused people will definitely criticize you."
Song Wei could only nod regretfully.
After the old ladies left, Song Wei and Lin Zhen did not discuss the family's affairs, but continued to decorate their home.
Lin Zhen got two ginkgo trees, one male and one female, and planted them on both sides of the gate.
You can eat ginkgo when you grow up.
The grape seedlings that I had inquired about before were also planted in an open area in the yard. When the grapes grow up, I can build a high rack and sit under the rack to cool off in the summer.
"We also need to buy some roses and cover the walls. Roses have thorns, so we don't have to worry about people climbing over our walls anymore."
Lin Zhen: "I'll go find it."
"Why don't you dig a pond in the backyard? The land in the backyard is quite empty. You can raise some fish and plant some lotus roots and wild rice stems for food."
Many of her ideas are edible, but they also look great when decorated this way.
"Build a cobblestone path extending from the door, so that it won't get dirty when you step on it on rainy days."
"Let's also plan the vegetable patch in the backyard. Aren't there still a lot of bricks left? Let's use bricks and pebbles to divide the land into pieces. It will be convenient for planting and look good. Leave a path between each piece of land..."
"The floor under the eaves is paved with flat wooden boards. It is clean, tidy and comfortable to look at..."
Song Wei said everything she could think of, and Lin Zhen remembered it silently.
Both of them were very active people. They immediately started to select suitable wood from the mountains and forests and cut it down and bring it out. Lin Zhen borrowed a tractor and took the wood to the city, where he found a woodworking factory to process the wood into boards of the same thickness, width and height.
They processed the wood for a whole day, and in between they went to the river to pick up pebbles to pave the path.
The next day, Lin Zhen went to pull back the wooden boards, and the two began to build the wooden floor under the eaves. The width was just enough to be covered by the eaves, about one meter.
Both of them were very strong, and Song Wei was able to lift up the supporting crossbar by himself.
Ding ding dang, it was done in one day.
Afterwards, Lin Zhen went to dig a pond, and Song Wei divided the land for growing vegetables into neat rectangles.
Although they are busy every day, they are both very energetic.
That day, after turning over the mud in the front yard lightly, Song Wei grabbed some grass seeds and scattered them on the ground.
These are grass seeds that Lin Zhen’s old squad leader Yu Wei sent from the far northwest. They are a kind of forage grass that animals like to eat very much.
There were trees planted in the front yard and a cobblestone path, but it still looked quite empty, so Song Wei thought about turning the remaining space into grass.
We also raise deer and roe deer at home.
Just after the grass seeds were spread, there was a knock on the door.
Song Wei went to open the door, and it was the old ladies.
"Oh my, how come I haven't been here for a few days and you've already messed up your yard like this?"
They looked at the cobblestone path with curiosity, and their eyes widened at the yard that had changed so much in just a few days. For a moment, they hesitated and were a little afraid to go in.
Song Wei smiled and invited: "Ladies, come in."
The old ladies rubbed their feet in the mud in front of the door. It felt really strange to walk on the cobblestone path, as this was not the way their village was built.
"Beautiful, this path is really beautiful. I didn't expect that the broken stones by the river can be used like this. When it rains, we don't have to worry about getting muddy when we step on it."
"You young people are really smart. And the wooden floor in front of the house is really nice, and there's a small staircase there.
"Hey, solid."
They jumped on the wooden floor. The board was thick enough and supported by leg-thick wood underneath, so no matter how many people jumped on it, it would not break.
"I was wondering why the eaves in front of your house are exposed so much. It's great to put a small table or stool here to keep cool in the summer."
"It's clean. My feet are not covered with mud after all the journey. It takes a lot less effort to keep the house clean."
Song Wei brought out some stools and placed them on the wooden floor. It was indeed comfortable to sit on them and look at the yard.
"Your house is so nice and comfortable. If it weren't so expensive, I would have bought it to enjoy it."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Song Wei brought out a plate of peanuts, melon seeds, pine nuts and various nuts and placed them on the small table, and also took out a small basket and placed it on the ground.
"After you eat the shells, throw them in here. I'll take them to the kitchen to burn."
Song Wei said that she ate the melon seeds and threw the shells into the small basket.
"Except for the money to build the house, the rest of the money is basically not much. It all depends on whether you are willing to do it or not."
There are some in the woods, if you want to dig them, just go and dig them. The stones for the cobblestone path were found on the river beach, they're free.
For this wooden floor, Lin Zhen and I went to the mountains to cut the wood ourselves, and then took it to the woodworking factory for processing. We paid some processing fees and it didn't cost much.
"But your eaves are not good enough. They are too short. If it rains, the wooden floor will be covered with water."
"To put it bluntly, it takes time and effort. And it's best not to raise chickens, ducks, geese, etc. in the front yard, otherwise their shit will be everywhere."
The deer shed they built for their new house is in the backyard, which is quite a distance away from the house.
It was also thanks to the fact that when Lin Zhen bought this residential land, the area was large enough.
"I'll try it when I get back. I'll raise chickens in the backyard."
Song Wei's yard was so beautiful after it was tidied up that they were really jealous.
Song smiled, and the old ladies began to talk about Old Lady Lin's family.
This is the main purpose of their visit today.
"Song Zhiqing, let me tell you, Mrs. Lin's house is in a mess right now. Mrs. Lin is lying on the ground with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. Mr. Ji said that this is the only way it will be from now on. If they don't believe it, they can go to a big hospital.
But it costs money to go to a big hospital, and how much money can they afford given their family's current situation? In the end, they just took her to a small hospital in town. When the hospital saw Mrs. Lin's condition, they were unwilling to accept her as a patient and said that they couldn't cure her.
Now, except for her eyes and one hand, Mrs. Lin can barely move anything else. Recently, her two sons have been arguing about who will take care of her. I think the second son, Lin, is still a bit responsible. He is willing to take care of Mrs. Lin, but not Lin Youfu.
That guy Lin Laosi is absolutely terrible. He doesn't even want to take care of his own mother and is making a fuss about dividing the family. In the end, he was barely suppressed by Old Man Lin. Today, he has gone to the village chief, the team leader and the elders of the Lin family to discuss what to do.
But you have to be careful. We heard that wicked old Lin Si told them that Lin Zhen is also her grandson and that you should also take responsibility. I think he will come to find Lin Zhen."
