The villagers are relatively free in winter.
Of course, this does not include the people from Xiangyang Village this year.
Some people were busy in the soap workshop, some were helping to build the greenhouse, and some were busy building a house for the Ye family.
Although the weather is cold, everyone seems to be working hard.
Ye Xiaojiao was also busy participating in the process. The house was designed based on the drawings made by their family after much discussion.
The two-story design aims to create more rooms so that sunlight can shine in better.
In addition, there must also be a study room and a bathroom.
Ye Xiaojiao also requested a small bathroom to be added to her room so that she wouldn't have to shiver in the cold and go to the toilet in the yard during the winter.
In order to solve the excretion problem, Ye Xiaojiao simply asked her father and brothers to dig a small household biogas pool in the corner of the yard.
The principle of this thing is not difficult, and the fuel can also be used as energy, which is killing two birds with one stone.
Just like that, in this month, everyone was extremely busy.
I didn't have time to think about anything else and just wanted to finish building the house quickly.
Just as everyone expected, a fairly magnificent building rose from the ground like a swallow building a nest.
Then, the repairs were completed bit by bit.
Looking at everyone in the Ye family, they all lost at least three pounds...
The brothers of the Ye family all breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that building a house is so tiring."
In the past, I always felt envious when I saw other people’s families busy and bustling with things.
When it came to my own house, I realized that everything from laying the foundation, building bricks, putting up beams to every detail needed to be done one by one.
It really can make people exhausted.
Of course, this is sweet happiness.
I wonder how many people in the village are envious of me.
For the vast majority of farmers, building a house is as important as birth, aging, sickness and death.
…
There was no such thing as fine decoration these days.
Basically, after the villagers' houses are built, they are dried in the sun for a period of time, and then a simple fire is built inside to warm them up and drive away the moisture, and then they are basically ready to move in.
After all, there is no formaldehyde or anything like that, it is just very simple and rustic.
However, Ye Xiaojiao still insisted on using old newspapers and pasted them all over her room, which gave her a different feeling.
In addition, she will try her best to get everything in this era, trying to make herself more comfortable.
Let’s talk about the biogas tank again.
At first, when Ye Xiaojiao expressed her thoughts, everyone was confused and had never heard of it before.
Even the old master who was called in to help thought that this was just nonsense.
Unexpectedly, the Ye family actually joined in the fun.
The old master was so exhausted, and seeing that persuasion was useless, he simply did as the little girl said.
However, let me be frank with you: you can't blame him if you fail.
If you just do the work for money, it's not a loss.
The result - it became...
Ye Xiaojiao smiled slightly and continued to say that she had read it in a book, that he had great achievements and fame.
However, before she officially started, she did not forget to go to the cowshed and ask the big guys about it so as not to arouse too much suspicion from the Ye family.
After this thing was actually put to use, people were sure that it was useful, so they began to imitate it.
This is a story for later.
Now, before the Spring Festival officially arrives, Ye Xiaojiao and her family have moved into their new home in a lively manner.
The furniture is also newly made, pure solid wood, pollution-free logs, truly green wood that doesn't even have paint.
The house-warming ceremony must be simple, that is, the whole family has a lively meal and distributes candies to neighbors and villagers, and that's it.
But I didn’t expect that the uninvited guests would still come!
"My dear relatives, you are really unkind. You built this house without telling us, and you didn't even invite us to the house-warming party. If we hadn't heard from outsiders, we wouldn't have known about this great event!"
Aunt Zhou walked in with a smile on her face, carrying a basket covered with cloth that contained something unknown.
Following her was a young girl in a red jacket.
Well, it is indeed very pretty and lively, at least it is a flower in this rural area.
When Ye Xiaojiao saw this situation, she understood something and immediately started to watch the show again.
Everyone present looked over with surprise.
Aunt Zhou didn't care at all. Instead, she straightened her body even more, as if to say, "I'm here to visit my daughter, why are you not letting me in?"
Mother Ye's eyes darkened, and when she looked up again, her face was full of smiles.
"What are you talking about, dear relative? We are all family, there is no need to be so polite. We were short of money when we built the house, and I thought that your family was not well off, so I didn't ask for money."
Aunt Zhou was stunned for a moment as if she had been hit by a needle, and then she forced a smile on her face:
"I, my family doesn't have any money. Oh! Let's not talk about this. This is my niece from my mother's side. She is 20 years old this year. She happened to be staying at my house during this period, so I brought her here to see the world.
Wow! Your house is really grand, with big rooms and bright rooms! It must be very comfortable to live in, right? "
Ye Xiaojiao, who was standing next to her, twitched her lips after hearing these words.
Okay.
As expected, as soon as there was some meat at home, flies, bedbugs and the like flew over when they smelled the scent.
Sometimes she is my niece, sometimes she is my niece.
I feel like my three brothers have become big fat pieces of meat in the eyes of everyone, and everyone wants to take a bite~
Mother Ye's expression froze slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhou Yunxiu had already walked out of the inner room and asked loudly, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Aunt Zhou looked a little guilty, but she quickly said as if nothing had happened: "Why, you don't come to see me, is it wrong for me to come to see you?"
Zhou Yunxiu clenched her hands tightly and sneered, "Are you really here to visit me, or do you have some other purpose?"
Do you really think everyone else is a fool?
Aunt Zhou's thoughts were touched, and she said angrily:
"Shut up! It's because you are useless. You married well to such a good woman, but you didn't help her at all when her family had problems. If I had known earlier, I should have drowned you when you were just born!"
Zhou Yunxiu felt as if a knife had stabbed her in the chest.
She suppressed her sadness, strode over, and tore the cloth off the basket that Aunt Zhou was carrying.
"Well, since you said you were here to visit me and the child, let us see what valuable gifts you brought!"
For a moment, everyone present subconsciously looked into the basket.
