"Dad, I was thinking of taking Xiaohua to the county town. I'll go to the car dealership in the county town and ask them to help pass a message to Peng Dong."
"Aunt, are you going to the county town?" Shuwen and Shuduo asked at the same time.
"Yeah, I was planning on going. What's the matter?"
"I also want to go to the county town."
"We want to go for a walk too."
Chunxiao smiled and said, "That's not difficult. Let's go together. My room is missing a lot of things that we can't find in town. I need to go to the county town to have a good look. It's a good opportunity to see how Xiaoqi is doing there. Shuwen, it's great that you can go too. You can also catch your father's carriage as well. I'm worried that I won't have enough space for my things."
"Why don't I go too? I haven't been to Xiaoqi's school yet."
"I miss my children, so why do you say you've never seen a school?" Zhou laughed and pointed out her, "It's just that if you all leave at once, I'm afraid there won't be enough people to prune the fields."
"Mom, I have four more people over there. I'll have them help you in the fields. But you have to assign someone to look after the house at the end of the village. The big things inside are almost done now, and there are craftsmen working inside. We can't leave it alone."
"Okay, then when are you leaving?"
"Let's do it tomorrow."
The road in the village has reached the final stage in the past two days. Now the road is open and everyone is happy. I don’t know if it was to verify the effect of the road construction or what, but it started raining early the next morning. They had no choice but to postpone the date.
Chun Xiao simply took advantage of the rain to copy the rules she had set at the manor into three booklets and asked the carriage and horse company to help take them to her three manors. Naturally, all the manors were treated equally.
It rained today, but it did not affect the work of the craftsmen. After all, although the big things were done, many places in the house were planned in detail and it would take dozens of people some time to work on them.
After the village school resumed classes, all the craftsmen moved to the empty rooms in the house. Most of these craftsmen were skilled in carpentry, so on rainy days, they mostly made doors, windows, screens, tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, beds, etc. Chunxiao asked them to use better materials as much as possible and to make them in the most popular styles.
The craftsmen and the people transferred from Zhuangzi lived in the outer courtyard of the first entrance. There were many rooms, so Chunxiao let the four people live in a separate room each, and the things inside were also configured in advance. This place was better decorated than Zhuangzi and more comfortable to live in. The four of them felt that following here was the wisest choice.
"Boss, there's such a large open space between the gate and the courtyard wall. Can we clear a piece of land there to grow vegetables? It's a waste to leave it empty. Planting a vegetable garden will save us from going to the village to pick vegetables often." The person who asked the question was Mrs. Songzhi, who was in charge of purchasing.
Chunxiao wanted to suggest that they keep the land for growing flowers, but the area in front of the gate was indeed quite large. She looked at Songzhi's expectant eyes and said, "If you want to grow vegetables, you can use the area near the corner. Leave half for me. I want to grow some flowers."
"Okay, I will go to the village tomorrow to collect some seasonal vegetable seeds. Don't worry, boss. The place is so big that it will definitely not affect your flower planting. Planting flowers can also cover up the smell of water and fertilizer. I heard that some flowers are very fragrant." Songzhi left happily.
Not long after, Sister Ximei came over again and said it was time to cook and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Now that there were people coming, the craftsmen cooked their own meals. Chunxiao was never picky, and basically ate whatever the craftsmen ate. Xiaohua, however, felt sorry for her and often cooked special meals for her. She told Ximei to ask her before cooking, and make an extra dish for her if she wanted anything. Today, she didn't have much of an appetite, so she asked the kitchen to make her some meat porridge.
In the afternoon, the head of the village came and gave her the extra 50 taels of silver from the road construction.
"Uncle headman, this matter is not urgent. It's raining today. Why did you come here from so far away?" Chunxiao hurriedly led him to the guest hall in the outer courtyard to sit down.
The village head took off his bamboo hat and said, "It's not a problem at all. Even though it's raining, I came all the way from that end. Look, my shoes aren't wet at all. It's so nice." The necessary materials had already been purchased, and there were still some extra slates, all paid for by Chunxiao. They planned to use the extra slate in front of the houses that Yan Bangfa had given them. "I heard you're going to the county town tomorrow?"
"Yes, go to the county town to buy some things."
The village head smiled and said, "I'm here to ask you a favor. Wuzhong's mother hasn't seen Wuzhong for a long time. She made two sets of summer clothes and wants to go to the county town with you. I wonder if it's convenient for you."
"What's so inconvenient about this? Sister Wang is really something. I can just ask someone to pass on the message. Why bother you to make a special trip? Tell her to meet us at the village entrance tomorrow morning."
"You don't know her personality yet. She's very shy. I'm just talking about this matter. Nothing else matters."
"You've finally come here. It's not too late to leave after you've rested for a while."
"I haven't come to see your house since it was built. I'd like to take a look today if I can."
"You're so polite. Come on, I have nothing to do. I'll show you around." In the afternoon, Chunxiao led the headmaster around the house. The headmaster kept praising him. "Your house is so luxurious. I've really broadened my horizons today."
"Come and sit down if you have nothing to do. My house has many pavilions. When there are flowers and plants in the future, the scenery will definitely be beautiful."
"Okay, okay." After the headman finished looking at the house, the rain had subsided, so he walked back in the drizzle.
"Miss, everyone in your village is so nice. Even the head of the village is so kind."
