Tian and the others knew she was moving back, so they hurriedly took out the vases and other things that Fu Zongming had given her last time. "Little sister, I think these things are more suitable for you. They would be weird in a house like ours. They're no better than pickle jars."
If they really used the vase to pickle vegetables, it would be a waste. Chunxiao knew that they would not be able to use them, so she asked Xiaohua to move them all into the carriage. Duoer and Paner liked the corridors and pavilions in her place very much, so when Chunxiao invited them to live there, they agreed immediately.
Now the courtyard wall of the house has been built and the land in the village has been leveled. Those who acted quickly have already started hiring people to build houses. Chunxiao found the head of the village and formally brought up the matter of road construction.
"What kind of repair do you want? Do you want it to be leveled and paved with stones or something else? How wide do you want it to be? And where do you want it to be built?"
"Just build it from my place all the way to the village entrance, paving it with large flat flagstones. Make sure it's wide enough for at least two carriages."
The village head was surprised. "Building a road from the end of the village all the way to the entrance? And using large stone slabs? These stone slabs are very expensive. Such a long road would probably cost one or two hundred taels of silver."
"No problem, I'll pay for it, but I'll have to trouble you, the village head, for this person."
The village head couldn't hide his joy. "This is a great thing for the village. It's troublesome. Everyone has to walk on the road out of the village. When it rains or snows, their feet are covered in mud. If we pave the road with stone slabs, every family will be blessed in the future. I will organize the villagers to do this."
Chunxiao gave him a silver note of 200 taels, saying that he would refund the excess and make up the shortfall when the time came.
So the next day the village started large-scale road construction again, and on the third day, cartloads of stone slabs entered the village. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, and as long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing you can't do.
All of a sudden, people from several villages came over to watch the fun. Seeing them building houses and repairing roads, they couldn't help but express their envy.
During this period, several wedding banquets were held in the village.
Seeing that the situation was almost right, Zhou asked Tian to tell Shuwen that they had set their sights on Haitang and wanted to marry her to him. This time, Shuwen agreed without any explanation. Later, he came to his senses and asked if this was the reason she had asked him to help Haitang. However, Tian scolded him, saying that there were several candidates and Haitang was just one of them. She refused to admit her conspiracy with Zhou.
