Chapter 87 The Shen Family Has Changed
The couple wrapped themselves in heavy coats and left the house, finally seeing the full view of the outer wall of Shen Yi's house.
The wall of the courtyard was previously ten feet high, which was considered a deep and large courtyard in the village. Now it is ten feet higher, making it impossible to see what is inside.
Xu smacked her lips and said, "The tallest wooden ladder in the village is less than ten feet high. How did he do that? And where did he get the stones in the middle of winter?"
The heavy snow blocked the mountains and rivers, and not even a pit could be seen on the ground.
The couple was full of questions, and when they walked to the door of Shen Yi's house, they found that even the door had changed.
The previous door had a wooden door frame, but the current door has been replaced with a stone door frame. Although the door is still the same door, the two always feel that something is different.
Just as Chen Zhuang was about to knock on the door, Xu stopped him, "Look at this wall and this door, can you hear it if you knock on it?"
As she spoke, she opened her voice and shouted around the outer wall of Shen Yi's house. After shouting for a while, the door finally opened.
"Uncle and aunt, come in quickly."
Shen Yi opened the door and immediately invited them in.
When the couple came in, they found that the yard was still the same as before, except that the wall was ten feet higher, and the gate was replaced with two doors, a wooden door outside and a stone door inside.
It's obvious that this stone gate was made by an expert, and every detail is exquisite.
“Ayi, this door must have cost you a lot of money!” Chen Zhuang walked forward and touched the stone door carefully, his eyes glued to it.
Xu hurried forward and dragged him into the main hall, "Don't look at it. Even if you look at it, our family won't be repaired."
It was obvious that the door was not something that an ordinary farmer could afford.
The three of them entered the main hall, and Shen Yi poured them some water before explaining, "There are only Xiaotai and I at home. I can stay at home in the winter, but I will be busy after the spring. There are too many things at home, and Xiaotai can't take care of them alone. It would be troublesome if a thief broke in. I will build a wall two meters high and raise two dogs to guard the house, so you don't have to worry.
As for the stone gate, my father-in-law paid for it and I didn't spend any money myself. With this stone gate, I don't have to worry about my family if I come home late or can't come back at all.
From now on, when my second uncle and second aunt come over, they just need to pull the wood on the door and the people inside will be able to hear it."
When the Xu couple heard this, they realized it was true. In fact, they had chosen this location to build the house so that they could take care of the young couple nearby. Since Shen Yi had taken everything into consideration, they didn't have to worry.
Before leaving, Chen Zhuang was still at the research institute wall, pointing at the hollow bricks on it and asking in confusion: "Are those not rocks from the river? Are they from the mountains?"
Shen Yi's back was wet, he nodded vaguely, and hurriedly changed the subject, "The village chief asked me to prepare some fish a few days ago. The villagers will buy them at the end of the year. I left two three-pound carps for you. Second uncle and second aunt take them back and raise them for a few days. They will be just in time for the Spring Festival."
Xu's eyes lit up and she ran excitedly into the kitchen to look at the two fish, her speech incoherent with joy.
Chen Zhuang sighed, "I heard before that you caught fish and sold them for money, but I thought it was just a small thing. I didn't expect it to be such a big fish! Your parents will definitely be relieved if they know about it in the afterlife."
Mrs. Xu nodded frantically in agreement, "Now all we need is children. When Xiaotai gives birth to a few children for you, we can really explain to your parents!"
"What do you want to confess?" Su Tai came in from outside and looked at everyone with a puzzled look on her face.
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "We are saying that Chen Yi is now capable and promising! Now all he needs is a child. You two have been married for two months, and it's almost time for you to have one."
Su Tai's pretty face turned red and she remained silent.
Shen Yi hurriedly came to her rescue, "Second Aunt, we are not in a hurry."
Xu's face changed and she lectured, "Continuing the family line is a big deal, how can you not be anxious? Think about how those bastards in Ximen Village laughed at you in the past?
Now you have a good life, bought a field, built a big yard, and even a donkey cart. You are better than them in every way, except for your children. You should do better and have a baby soon to piss them off to death!"
Speaking of the Mo family's Xu who broke off the engagement, she got angry. She just wanted Chen Yi and Su Tai to live a prosperous life and make that stinky woman from the Mo family regret it for the rest of her life.
The young couple looked at Xu, who was filled with indignation, and didn't dare to breathe.
Seeing that Xu was not giving in, Shen Yi quickly promised to have a child immediately, and then sent Xu and his wife away.
As soon as the door closed, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Tai looked at her flat stomach, then looked at Shen Yi, and blinked innocently, "Why don't we go see a doctor?"
They didn't take any special precautions, so why didn't they get pregnant? Could it be that they had some physical problem?
Shen Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pulled her into his arms, "Don't let your imagination run wild, it's just that fate hasn't arrived yet."
Seeing that Shen Yi really didn't care, Su Tai immediately put the matter behind her, returned to the house, and immediately went to the Space-Time Gate Transfer Station.
Previously, she had customized a heat-resistant marble door at a brick kiln factory, spending 10,000 coins. After the goods arrived and were installed yesterday, her consumption in the Fire Spacetime had exceeded 10,000 coins, and the Fire Spacetime had been upgraded to level two.
She hasn't gone in to take a look yet!
When she pushed open the door of the Fire Space, she found that there was a fireworks shop opposite the brick kiln factory. The orange-yellow lights reflected on the fireworks, and the New Year atmosphere was instantly created.
She went in happily and took a look around, but found that there was nothing she could use, so she walked out in disappointment.
She checked the rules for upgrading the Fire Spacetime at the transfer station, and she almost got so angry that she cursed.
It only costs 10,000 virtual coins to upgrade from level one to level two, but it takes 100,000 virtual coins to upgrade from level two to level three. She couldn't understand what fireworks could be used for.
Depressed, Su Tai returned to the house and couldn't help but go to Shen Yi for help, "What do you think fireworks can do?"
"Of course it's the New Year's cleansing. Before the drought, every family would set off firecrackers before eating New Year's Eve dinner. In the first year of the drought, the first fireworks shop in the town had an accident, which blew up the two shops next to it and burned down half of the street. Mr. Ma suffered heavy losses, so he closed the fireworks shop.
That was the only store in town that sold fireworks. No one took over after it closed down. It could also be related to the drought. It was very easy to get into trouble if you stocked up on fireworks at that time. If something really exploded, there wouldn’t even be water to put out the fire. You probably forgot about it when you were sick before.”
Shen Yi spoke casually, as if he was chatting.
Su Tai's eyes lit up, "Were fireworks very expensive before?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "It's not cheap. I heard that the raw materials for making fireworks are not easy to get. Fireworks are better, ten coins each. As for fireworks, I've seen them once before. The cheapest ones cost fifty coins, and they were gone after being set off for a while. I heard that there are some that cost several taels of silver, and they can be set off for a longer time. There are not many rich people here, so I haven't seen them yet."
Su Tai got some useful information from Chen Yi, and immediately went to the fireworks shop to order a batch of goods from the boss, without any patterns on them, or with ancient and festive styles.
The upgrade amount for Fire Time and Space has been changed to 100,000 virtual coins. Sorry.
