Chapter 160: You Don’t Understand the Master’s Thoughts
The Su family killed chickens and fish and happily entertained the shopkeeper Li and his wife.
After eating and drinking and seeing the guests off, Old Man Su and Old Lady Su began to discuss building a house.
It was obvious that when Su Laosi and his family came back, the Su family would have no place to stay.
The Su family now has three main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides.
The east wing is where the eldest Su family lives, and the west wing is where the second Su family lives.
Of course, although Su Laosi and his family returned to the Su family, because Li Shuying is the only daughter of the Li family and Su Laosi has been helping to manage the Li family's business in recent years, Su Laosi and his family still live in the town for the time being.
"Damn, I think... it's better to expand the backyard and directly build three main rooms." Old Man Su said thoughtfully.
The Su family’s backyard is quite big.
The most important thing is that there is an open space outside the yard.
After listening to what Old Man Su said, Old Mrs. Su neither agreed nor disagreed.
Holding a large palm-leaf fan in her hand, she fanned Little Tang Bao and said, "When the time comes... who will live in the new house in the backyard?"
"Let..." Old Man Su paused.
The eldest and second sons currently live in the wing rooms. If the fourth son is allowed to live in the new main house in the future, it will seem like the eldest and second sons are being treated unfairly.
However, if the eldest and second oldest child move into the main house, the fourth oldest child will have to live in the side room, which seems unfair to him.
As for the old couple, they must live in the front yard.
Little Tangbao is being coaxed by his mother to take a nap.
Of course, she doesn't need any coaxing for a nap.
However, Old Lady Su was afraid that little Tangbao would get prickly heat if she fell asleep, so she insisted on fanning her little girl.
At this moment, after hearing what his parents said, Little Tangbao jumped up and said with sparkling eyes, "Dad, why don't we build a few more houses?"
That way, she could have a room of her own.
Little Tangbao is still very excited at the thought of having his own house.
Then, Xiao Tangbao was afraid that her father would not agree, so she quickly counted on her fingers and said, "Dad, think about it, in the future, the fifth brother will also get married, and the sixth brother will also get married."
"Even if my fifth brother becomes a high-ranking official and my sixth brother becomes a general in the future, we still have to prepare houses for them. We can't have them go home to visit their families and have nowhere to stay, right?"
"Also, Da Pan, Er Pan, Zhuang Zhuang, and Si Wa, although they are still young, three of them are studying now. As for Si Wa, he will also go to school in two or three years."
"So, even if we don't give them a separate study room, we should at least prepare a bedroom for each of them, right? That way, when they come home to study, they won't be disturbed..."
"If we had a few more young sisters-in-law, our family would have had many more nephews..."
Little Tangbao hadn't realized that her casual remark had made the Su family more prosperous.
After hearing what Xiao Tangbao said, Old Man Su and Old Lady Su looked at each other and felt that what their little girl said was very reasonable.
But--
How much money would it cost to build so many houses?
The family has only so much money, and we have to support several scholars...
Not to mention the tuition fees, the money for pens, ink, paper and inkstone alone costs a lot every month.
What's more, he had to save enough money so that the fifth brother could take part in the provincial examination in the future.
Old Man Su and Old Lady Su frowned when they thought of this.
Little Tangbao understood it at a glance.
It seems that I don’t have enough money.

On the tall black horse sat a delicate little girl and a boy with a proud face.
"Lean back on me and don't fall down." Xuanyuan Jin said nervously.
Although I know Honghong especially listens to Xiaotangbao, I am still worried that Xiaotangbao will not be able to sit steadily and fall.
After hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Xiao Tangbao leaned back.
She knew she would not be able to fall, but in order to relax the little brother sitting behind her, she obeyed.
Even without looking back, she could sense how nervous the little brother behind her was.
If she hadn't insisted, the little brother would definitely not let her ride a horse.
Of course, the result of her insistence was that the little brother also got on the horse and sat behind her, looking very cautious.
"Brother, let's ride horses up the mountain." Xiao Tangbao suggested.
"Ride a horse up the mountain? Do you want to break your legs?" Xuanyuan Jin said unhappily.
But he secretly regretted that he should have learned kung fu earlier.
In this way, I won’t have to worry about the bumpy ride up the mountain and not being able to protect the little girl.
Little Tangbao looked at his short legs and then at the tall Honghong.
"Then let's walk up the mountain when we get to the foot of the mountain." Little Tangbao said good-temperedly.
The little brother just has a bad mouth, but she is a generous person, so she forgives him.
"Well, if you're tired, I'll carry you." Xuanyuan Jin softened his tone.
"Thank you, brother."
See, she knew that the little brother just couldn't speak.
Li Er, who was guarding Honghong, glanced at Zhang Cheng on the other side, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.
Master, here are Zhang Cheng and I.
We can carry you up the mountain.
Soon, Honghong carried Xiao Tangbao and Xuanyuan Jin to the foot of Phoenix Mountain.
Xuanyuan Jin jumped off the horse.
Zhang Cheng quickly picked up Xiao Tangbao.
Li Er acted as if he was going to carry his young master on his back.
"Master, I'm carrying...ah! Zhang Cheng, why did you step on me?" Li Er jumped up while covering his feet before he could finish his words.
Zhang Cheng ignored Li Er and put Xiao Tangbao on the ground.
Xuanyuan Jin reached out and took Xiao Tangbao by the hand, without even looking at Li Er, and said to Xiao Tangbao: "Let's go, let's go up the mountain. Tell me if you are tired."
"Okay, brother." Little Tangbao said sweetly.
Then, he looked at Li Er with sympathy, and then looked at Zhang Cheng, not understanding why Zhang Cheng deliberately stepped on Li Er.
Well, it was intentional.
She could see it.
Forget it, it’s an adult matter, and a man’s matter, so she won’t ask about it as she is just a baby.
Perhaps, this is the way people communicate their feelings with each other.
Little Tangbao carried her little basket and walked happily up the mountain with Xuanyuan Jin.
Honghong followed beside him with brisk steps, being particularly docile.
Later, Li Er angrily asked Zhang Cheng why he stepped on him.
Zhang Cheng replied calmly, "My foot slipped!"
Li Er, "..."
I believed your lies!
He rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Want to fight?"
Zhang Cheng gave Li Er a look of contempt.
"I won't fight with a blockhead. It's disgraceful!"
Li Er, "..."
Feeling deeply offended.
Just as he was about to raise his fist to save face, Zhang Cheng said, "Did you just say that you wanted to carry the young master up the mountain?"
"What's wrong? The young master is not feeling well. I'll carry him on my back and you hold the little girl. They want to go up the mountain to play, and this is the easiest way to save energy." Li Er said as a matter of course.
"I told you you're stupid, but you still refuse to accept it." Zhang Cheng shook his head, looking at Li Er with pity, and said, "No matter how young you are, you're still a man of integrity. You have to save face in front of a little girl."
After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he patted Li Er on the shoulder and added something earnestly.
"You don't understand the young master's thoughts."
Then, he ignored Li Er and quickly chased after him.
Li Er, "..."
Touched his head.
Why doesn't he understand?
"Wait a minute!" Li Er shouted.
He felt that Zhang Cheng must be fooling him.
