Let alone Lin Meiyu, even Chen Guihua, who didn't even have any money, had already started thinking about buying things, such as silk thread, cloth, and various cakes and biscuits. She had already started planning.
But in the end, she didn't have any tickets, so Chen Guihua thought about it and decided not to buy anything.
Not long after the killing of the New Year, it was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. During this time, every household began to prepare for the New Year, frying various fruits, cleaning the house, and making stove candy.
After the Little New Year, smoke would be coming out of the chimneys of every household all day long.
After the Chinese New Year, Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin went to find Tian Ligang to divide the residential land.
Although it has not been confirmed that Tian Lilin must move out, the homestead still needs to be decided early. At this time, more and more people are being allocated land. If it is not decided early, there may be no good place left.
At this time, there was no homestead particularly close to the Tian family.
Tian Lilin spent a long time choosing. Finally, he chose a piece of vacant land under the pine forest in the northeast. This place was the closest to the Tian family among the remaining residential land, but because the location was a bit remote and there was a pine forest behind it, it was a bit old, so no one was willing to choose this place.
But Tian Lisong was attracted by this place because there were few people, it was relatively close to the Tian family, and the place was quite large. When he built the house, it would be more spacious, and there would be a large yard in front and back.
After making the selection, Tian Lilin was a little nervous, for he was afraid that his brother would tell him that the homestead had been selected and ask him to build a house and move away quickly.
He doesn't want to move away now, after all, Mrs. Tian is still in good health.
Moreover, Tian Lilin had been with his brother for many years, and all matters were decided by Old Lady Tian and Tian Lisong. He just listened to them and did things, but now that Tian Lilin was suddenly asked to make his own decision, he felt a little panicked.
"Now that the housing site has been selected, let's find two people to help build the house after the spring planting is over." As expected, Tian Lisong spoke.
Now in the middle of winter the soil is frozen and we can't build a house. We have to wait until summer when the soil becomes soft so that we can lay the foundation and build a house.
Nowadays, it is not difficult to build a house. Every household uses yellow mud to build a house, then makes a few windows, a door, and covers it with straw. After the yellow mud dries, people can move into the house to live.
So it is still very fast to build a house now. If you only build one house, it can basically be completed in a few days with more people. It will only take a little longer to dry the house.
The main beams of the house were prepared by Old Mrs. Tian long ago, and they were ready to use when they were needed.
Tian Lilin was a little unhappy when he heard this, "Brother, our mother is still in good health, so I won't separate from you for now, right?"
Tian Lisong laughed when he heard this, "You are so old, but you still can't leave your mother. This house is not built completely, so you won't see each other anymore. Can't you still go home when you have nothing to do? Besides, Tian Mu is getting older, and we can't let him live with you two. He should have his own room."
Thinking back to when Tian Yuan was already 16 or 17 years old, he still lived in the same room with the couple, which made it inconvenient for them to do anything. Even Lin Meiyu's clothes were stolen like a thief.
But there were no conditions at that time. And since Tian Tian was a girl, we had to build a house for her first.
There wasn't much money left after the construction was completed, so I built a small house for Tian Yuan, and the space in the yard was not big enough.
Tian Yuan lived with them until he went out to join the army. Even now when Tian Yuan returns home, he still lives with the couple.
Seeing that Tian Yuan is about to get married, his daughter-in-law will definitely come with him.
We can't let our daughter-in-law live with her parents-in-law. It would be shameful if this got out!
"Before, we didn't have money, so we didn't say anything. Now that we want to build a house, we can't. Now that you have money, just build a bigger and more spacious one, and don't put yourself in a difficult position anymore," said Tian Lisong.
Although today's houses are made of yellow mud and local materials can be used, the cabinets, suitcases, kang cabinets, pots and pans, chairs and tables inside the house all need to be made by carpenters at a cost.
At present, there are kang cabinets and suitcases in Tian Lilin’s room, but when building a house, the furniture in Tian Mu’s room must be prepared.
Although Tian Lilin is a carpenter, he cannot handle all the work by himself. In addition, carpenters nowadays are conscientious and meticulous in their work, so the speed is much slower, so he has to find other carpenters to help make furniture.
Before, Tian Lilin would definitely be reluctant to spend money and have someone make furniture for him, but now he is not as reluctant to spend money on furniture as before and does not feel bad about spending money.
Tian Lilin knew that what his brother said made sense, and if he didn't consider himself, he had to consider Tian Mu as well.
"You have to cook for yourself when you move out. I won't take care of the bowls and plates. You have money anyway, so you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them. But things like pots are hard to get. You need an industrial ticket. Let me see if I can get you a pot. I can't let you be without anything to cook at home." Tian Lisong said.
Although the price of a pot is not particularly cheap nowadays, it is still affordable if you grit your teeth. A big pot only costs five yuan, and most people can afford it. However, you need an industrial ticket to buy a pot, which stops many people.
So many people in the team still don’t have a pot to use.
The pot in their house was obtained by Tian Lisong after asking many people for help.
"There's no rush. Even if we don't have a pot, we can still cook in a clay pot," said Tian Lilin.
He also knew that pots were difficult to use. Many families in the brigade still used clay pots to cook. Although it was not very convenient, the food cooked in it was edible. Everyone had lived through hard times, so they were very grateful for something to eat and would not be picky about the taste of the food.
"That won't do!" Tian Lisong disagreed, "We have to prepare a pot anyway. You don't have to worry about it. It's still early. Just take your time. If it really doesn't work, you can go home and eat."
