Chapter 45: Very respectful
So she immediately took up the topic.
"You're right. If we continue to live in this house, my family will definitely feel uncomfortable. How can we live well?"
Mrs. Feng lowered her head and sighed: "It seems that we have to spend some money to build a new house this time."
The village chief originally planned to lend an empty house in the village to the Jiang family temporarily.
But when he heard that Mrs. Feng wanted to build a house directly, he didn't say anything, but he felt sorry for the Jiang family's money.
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, then let's do it according to your wishes. You don't have to worry about the lack of manpower. I will let the villagers come together to help you and try to build your house as soon as possible." The village chief patted his chest.
Mrs. Feng was worried that her sons would be too busy, so she felt warm in her heart: "That's great, I'd like to thank the village chief first!"
Daliu Village has always been an energetic place.
The villagers were already thinking of Nuobao and Feng, but now there was no work to do in the fields, so as soon as the village chief opened his mouth, both men and women wanted to come over and help.
So in the past two days, the Jiang family has been busy buying bricks, mortar, and mortar to prepare for their new house!
Feng doesn’t want to knock down the old house and rebuild.
There is too much bitterness and too much failure in the past here, so it’s better to cut it off completely.
She re-selected the place, and finally chose the open space behind her house, planning to spend some money to build an entrance courtyard with east and west wings.
Three rooms should be built in the main house.
Each room should be spacious and bright, but not too big, otherwise the house will not gather energy and will not be warm.
The east and west side rooms should also have three rooms each.
Add a sitting room for storing miscellaneous items, a toilet, and a cellar.
With this arrangement, there should be enough space for the nine people in the family.
The thought of moving to a spacious house made the whole family very excited.
Even at night, they would light oil lamps and sit together on the big kang, always with endless things to talk about.
"The fourth child is in the private school, so you don't know yet." Li Qiqiao said to Jiang Fenghu while threading the needle, "When you go to Xiangliufang to deliver embroidery tomorrow, remember to stop by the private school and tell the fourth child."
Feng squinted and nodded, holding her back.
"Well, let him be happy too. Bring a thick quilt with you. It's almost the coldest days of winter. Don't let the fourth child get frozen."
"Mom, we have to choose a good day from the almanac before we start construction." Sun Chunxue's eyes were so happy that they turned into slits.
Feng looked back at her daughter.
She couldn't help but smile knowingly.
With her daughter around, there was always a good time. Why would she need to look at the almanac to choose a day?
Xiao Nuobao felt her mother's trust and of course responded tacitly.
Her little feet twisted in her thick cotton socks, like two caterpillars, and she smiled at Feng with her teeth showing.
"Hehe, it's cool~"
-
On the day when the Jiang family started construction, more than 20 villagers from the village came to help.
This battle and this face are not inferior to the renovation of the village chief's house.
The village chief worked as a bricklayer when he was young, and Yang Tianmei also knows some tricks of laying tiles. They were the first to come.
Although Mr. Zhang has a limp, he insists on coming over to help as soon as the school is over.
Mrs. Liu and Old Man Zhang are not young anymore, but they work as hard as the young people.
Seeing the whole village helping, Mrs. Feng was moved. She was afraid of neglecting the villagers who came to help, so she asked Sun Chunxue to boil two large pots of red bean water.
It was cold in winter, and the progress of work was slow.
Whoever was tired would drink a bowl of red bean water, which could warm the stomach and body, replenish physical strength and quench thirst.
Feng had to work in the new house and couldn't take care of the maiden herself, so she asked Li Qiqiao to stay at home to look after Xiao Nuobao and Chun Ge'er.
Li Qiqiao was afraid that Xiao Nuobao would feel bored because there were not many people at home, so she would go to tease the little kid after sewing for a while.
Almost an hour after Nuobao finished his breakfast, Li Qiqiao twisted her waist and slender back and went downstairs to fry a plate of hot sweet chestnuts.
To give Xiao Nuobao a treat.
Smelling the sweet aroma, Xiao Nuobao drooled crazily. She grabbed a handful of chestnuts with her little hands and stuffed them into her mouth.
But Nuobao was still too young, and no matter how hard her little milk teeth tried, she couldn't bite open the chestnut shell. She was so greedy that she drooled in the end, and didn't eat half a bite of the chestnut meat.
"Wuwu, sister-in-law, help Nuobao!" Little Nuobao was aggrieved and crawled on the kang in a hurry.
Li Qiqiao was so cute.
She smiled and held the little girl on her lap, slowly peeled the shell and fed her.
"Second sister-in-law will make it for you, just eat it, but don't eat too fast, or you will choke." Li Qiqiao patted the little person in her arms.
It was the first time for little Nuobao to eat this sugar-roasted chestnut.
Her mouth was so fragrant that she almost felt dizzy.
She was like a little squirrel, her cheeks kept fluttering, and she showed off seven or eight times in a row and couldn't stop at all.
Chun Ge'er on the side looked at her adorable.
He stretched out his little paw and pulled Li Qiqiao's socks.
"Yiyiya——" He hummed urgently, but he couldn't speak yet.
Li Qiqiao only took a look at her son and shook her head decisively: "You are too young to eat chestnuts. These are aunt's snacks. You should wait for porridge with egg yolks at noon."
Chun Ge'er's eyes were full of tears, and he bit his mother's big foot with a big mouth.
Is Wuwuwu a biological child?
Is he really a biological child!
Little Nuobao couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
So while the second sister-in-law went downstairs to pour water for her, she quickly took out a piece of candy as a tribute and stuffed it into Chun Ge'er's little mouth as compensation for the little guy.
"Wuwuwu Yiyiya!" Little Chun Ge sucked his big snot and started to suck the candy with satisfaction.
My aunt is still good to him!
Before noon, Feng came back from the new house.
She first went to the kang to look at the girl, and kissed her several times as if she couldn't get enough of her.
Then she asked Li Qiqiao to prepare more food.
Now that so many villagers came to help, the Jiang family must prepare food for them. They couldn't let them be tired for most of the day and then go back to prepare food.
In order to thank everyone for their enthusiasm, the meal must have more oil and water, so as not to waste their efforts.
So Feng went to the cellar to get salted fish and eggs, and brought two slaughtered chickens.
All that was missing was the dishes to go with them.
Xiao Nuobao saw that his family was so proud and had received help from so many villagers, so he was in a good mood, and with a little hand, she "treated" the meal.
Before Feng could think of the side dishes, a row of hazel mushrooms, a row of chrysanthemums, a row of green onions, two rows of Chinese cabbage, and a pile of potatoes buried in the mud suddenly appeared in the cellar. Feng
was so surprised that she almost fell to the ground.
My goodness, why are there so many again!
After calming her chest, Feng looked at the inner room with a bit of a smile.
My daughter, don't be so scary, can you let her be prepared next time.
