Chapter 112: Stop Blackmailing Me
Chuxue moved quickly. While her mother was making lunch, she ran to Uncle Liangzi's house at the east end of the village and asked, "Auntie, are you busy?"
Liangzi's wife saw the person coming and said, "Chuxue girl, why are you here?"
"Aunt, where is my uncle?"
"He's tending to the vegetable garden in the backyard. What do you want to see him about?"
Chu Xue smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have asked the village to approve a piece of residential land, and I would like to ask Uncle Liangzi to help me arrange it."
Liangzi's wife's face instantly lit up with joy: "Are you really going to build a new house?"
"The doctor said my dad needs to rest well. You know the situation at home. If I continue to live there, I won't be able to have peace. Besides, if I don't spend the money I have, my grandparents will probably be worried."
"Really? Wait, I'll go call you uncle."
But before she walked to the backyard, Liangzi came back after hearing the noise in the front yard: "Is the first snow coming?"
"Uncle Liangzi, have you taken any work recently?"
Liangzi poked the hoe in his hand and said, "Shanglin Village came to visit us a few days ago, but the date for building the house has not been set yet. What are you going to do?"
Liangzi's wife interrupted: "Chuxue's family has just been approved for a residential plot and is going to build a new house."
Liangzi was a little surprised: "Isn't your house livable?"
As soon as I said this, I thought of something: "Which piece of homestead was chosen?"
Chu Xue smiled and said, "It's the slope at the end of the village."
Liangzi also disagreed: "Chuxue, that place is good, but firstly, it's a little remote, and secondly, if you want to live there safely, you have to build a slope in front, which is a big expense."
"Uncle Liangzi, that place is only about fifty meters away from the house in front. When the slope is solidified, someone will be designated to choose that side for housing land."
Seeing that Chuxue was so determined, Liangzi didn't want to persuade her anymore: "Okay, then are you going to build an adobe house or a brick house?"
Chu Xue did not hesitate: "Let's go for the brick house. It will be comfortable to live in and there will be less trouble in the future."
She took out the house structure diagram she had drawn and said, "Uncle, this is what I thought. The main house should have three large rooms, and two side rooms on each side. The kitchen and utility room should be arranged in the south. This one can be built smaller."
Liangzi was also shocked by the large amount of money: "Chuxue, this is a brick and tile house. It will cost a lot of money to build it. The main house has three rooms, and each room costs sixty yuan. The wing rooms are relatively smaller and lower, but they cost at least fifty yuan. Add the kitchen and utility room on the south side, and the total cost will probably be four hundred and fifty or sixty yuan."
"Uncle Liangzi, you know I got some rewards. I'd rather turn them into a house than keep them in my hands. I also want to build the house as soon as possible so that my father can rest earlier. I'll have to trouble you to help me with this."
"As long as you decide, there will be no problem on my side. I can get the construction team together today."
"Okay, the village cadres will go over to measure the land this afternoon. If you have time, please help me go over and take a look."
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
She agreed, refused Aunt Liangzi's offer to keep the meal for her, and hurried home as her mother's meal should be ready by then.
As she expected, when she was still some distance away from home, she saw Chunxiao coming over to call for help.
Chunxiao saw her trotting over and said, "Second sister, Mom asked me to call you back for dinner."
"What did mom cook?"
"I fried the chili sauce and rolled out the noodles."
"Second sister, Mom said she's going to measure the homestead this afternoon?"
"Um."
"That's great. I finally don't have to look at their faces anymore."
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw Liu Jianqiang standing at the gate: "Chuxue, are you really going to do this?"
Chu Xue was not afraid of him: "Weren't you the ones who did it first? Stop blackmailing me with morality."
After saying that, he pulled Chunxiao into the gate.
