This residential land is very large, about 200 to 300 square meters, square in shape, with its back to the main road and a pond to the south. There is a river behind and to the east that flows from northwest to southeast and then turns east. Most of the residents of Wanglou Brigade live to the east of the river and in Henan to the east, giving the cowshed a sense of seclusion.

But Feng Qingxue thought it was appropriate.

As she possessed the secret of the space, she did not plan to live in an area with a lot of residents. If she was surrounded by people all around her, it would be easy to get into trouble if she secretly cooked some meat and the aroma got out.

Moreover, being close to the cowshed makes it convenient to take care of Lu's father and two children.

Of course, the most important thing is that the livestock manure pool is built on the west side of the cowshed, and it would be best to build a house on the east side of the cowshed.

How could Lu Jiang not understand Feng Qingxue's intention to choose a house near the cowshed? Unconsciously, there was a little more tenderness in his eyes, "Okay, let's build a house here. Just tell my uncle and ask him to approve it. One of my comrades-in-arms was assigned to a coal factory here after he retired, but his brother-in-law is in a kiln factory. Before I leave, I will treat them to a meal and get some bricks and tiles."

Compared with thatched houses, Feng Qingxue certainly prefers brick houses.

Not to mention too much, brick and tile houses do not need to be repaired every year, and roofs do not need to be replaced with thatch every year.

When I returned to the cowshed and told Father Lu about it, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the place the girl fell in love with at first sight was actually our former homestead. It's really fate."

The Lu family's former homestead? Feng Qingxue was stunned and looked at Lu Jiang.

Lu Jiang nodded at her. "In fact, the large area of ​​land in front, behind, and on both sides of the cowshed was where our old house was. The road behind was not a road at first, but our homestead. The land you chose is not the main house, but the guest room in the front yard. This cowshed is still our cowshed and stable. It's just that after liberation, when the local tyrants were being fought and the land was distributed, the old house was demolished by the common people in droves, leaving only the cowshed and stable for the animals to live in. Some of the demolished bricks, tiles, wood, and stones were used to build the brigade office, which is still there now. The rest were divided up by several powerful families at the time and used to build their own houses."

People are happy to see his father, brother, sister-in-law and their family living in a cowshed, which is a violation of their dignity.

Feng Qingxue said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Uncle Lu, for bringing up your sad memories."

"What are you apologizing for? You didn't do this." Father Lu waved his hand. "Those are just personal possessions. I didn't feel sorry for the gold and silver bars that were taken out of the wall when the house was demolished. I just hope that our family will be safe and healthy."

Hearing him say this, Feng Qingxue immediately changed the subject, "Uncle Lu, did people really hide gold and silver in the walls in the past?"

She had only heard of such things, but had never seen them with her own eyes.

Father Lu smiled, "Any family with a little background would leave a way out for themselves in troubled times. Those who beat, smashed, demolished houses, split furniture, and dug three feet into the ground, didn't they do it for this reason? Otherwise, why would they waste their energy? When they demolished our house, how many of them didn't get a few big yellow croakers hidden in their pockets?"

Without mentioning the distant past, let's just talk about Miao Fengqin. At that time, she took advantage of the situation and hid many small and valuable things in her waistband. This was seen by the eldest daughter-in-law with her own eyes, and she told her afterwards that the pair of red gold dragon and phoenix bracelets inlaid with gems that she brought as a dowry were in Miao Fengqin's hands.

It’s just that Miao Fengqin is Wang Zhengguo’s wife, so Lu’s father didn’t tell his family, and now he doesn’t plan to tell Feng Qingxue.
