Chapter 144 It’s a pity that I can’t tell you yet
After hearing this, Xu Zhichun felt relieved. He smiled and said to everyone, "Sweet potatoes and potatoes are both good things. Everyone must take good care of them. Even if you don't keep them for yourself after the harvest, you will probably be able to sell them. By then, you will have made enough money to dig a well at your doorstep."
Everyone gets excited when it comes to this.
"Zhichun, Zhichun, can these sweet potatoes really be sold for money?"
"Is it selling well? Is the price high?"
"Will there really be merchants buying it? Do they take as many as they can get, or is it first come, first served?"
Xu Zhichun thought that when Lord Lu saw the output, seeing is believing, he would be shocked, and of course he would take as much as he could.
How big is the village? Even if the yield is high and the harvest is abundant, it is just a drop in the bucket for Lord Lu. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.
Unfortunately, I can’t say it yet.
Xu Zhichun could only reassure everyone: "Don't worry, many people have tasted sweet potatoes and potatoes, right? Whether they're good or not is self-evident! They'll definitely sell!"
Everyone remembered the misunderstandings that had occurred to many families and burst into laughter. "Yeah, that's right!"
Don't worry, just wait to sell it and make a fortune.
It took three days, but the well in the yard was finally completed.
The rim of the well was more than thirty centimeters above the ground, and it was covered with a heavy wooden lid, which was removed when in use and closed when not. Above the well was a wheeled frame, tied with coils of hemp rope.
By holding the handle and easily turning the well wheel frame, you can draw up a bucket of clear and cool well water from a well that is more than three meters deep. From now on, you don’t have to worry about water problems anymore.
Xu Zhichun also asked a craftsman to build a blue brick pool of about one square meter next to the well, almost knee-high. This would be very convenient for washing large items in the future.
There was a cork-stoppered outlet at the bottom of the pool, and the dirty water flowed directly into a sewer dug underground, then flowed to the open gutter outside the yard.
Next to it was a rectangular platform about the same height as an ordinary desk. The basins used for washing hair, vegetables, or other things can be placed on it. You can just stand next to it and wash without bending over. It is very convenient.
Zeng Xiaoyan, Aunt Zhu'er, and Chunfen were all very curious. They gathered around the well to experience the cheapness and fun of drawing water, laughing happily.
"We'll dig a well at home soon."
"We wanted to do that too. It's really convenient."
Looking at the countertop and sink next to it, Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhu'er were also very jealous. They praised it and said that this was also very good and they would make a set in the same way. The more they looked at it, the better it seemed. They couldn't wait to get it.
Copying homework makes people very happy.
Xu Zhichun was also very happy.
At this point, the new house is completely completed.
It was almost exactly what she had envisioned, perfect. But it still required money.
If you have money, at least you can do whatever you want when it comes to decorating your home.
The house has high walls and a large courtyard, a tall and bright two-story house, clean and neatly planned front and back yards, flowers and trees, flower beds, a well, a practical kitchen and storage room, spacious and bright bedrooms and a complete set of solid wood furniture.
Place a lounge chair and a small table under the porch, and you can relax and recline while the hydrangeas, roses, jasmine, impatiens, and magnolias in the yard flourish. In spring and summer, the flowers are in full bloom, and it's a delight to enjoy the flowers, sip tea, and eat sunflower seeds. The clear skies of autumn and the heavy snow of winter create even more unique scenery.
Going out from the back of the yard is your own vegetable garden and sixty to seventy acres of land. You can pick vegetables and plant crops in the garden just by walking.
There are still endless delicious foods in the warehouse.
A perfect rural life.
Zeng Xiaoyan was still thinking about her second sister, so she closed her stall early that day and planned to go to Loujia Village again.
"Sister-in-law Zhichun and Aunt Zhu'er, why don't you go together? We won't go into the house, but just talk to my sister outside."
Aunt Lou San hated her so much that she wouldn't invite her into the house, and she didn't want to go either.
Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhuer both agreed.
Xu Zhichun had met Aunt Lou San at Zeng's house. Aunt Zhu'er was very curious and wanted to see what the vicious woman Zeng Xiaoyan described looked like.
Before I arrived, I heard noisy crying and shouting again.
Zeng Xiaoyan was furious. "This family has no limits on bullying others. They are too arrogant!"
She stopped Liang Mingliang, jumped off the ox cart, and ran over.
Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhu'er were surprised and hurried to follow.
"Second sister! Second sister!"
"Hey, why are you here again? I was wondering if you're that free? You keep running around other people's houses all day long."
Before Zeng Xiaoyan could say anything, Aunt Lou San got angry and retorted to her.
It was an unfortunate opportunity to come today. Perhaps it was lunch time and the whole Lou family was at home, so it was particularly noisy.
Before Zeng Xiaoyan could confront the old woman from the Lou family, Zeng Xiaojuan came running over, holding Qiao'er in her arms and crying, "Xiaoyan! Xiaoyan! Save Qiao'er, please save Qiao'er!"
"What's wrong, Qiao Er?"
Not to mention Zeng Xiaoyan, Xu Zhichun and the others were all shocked when they saw the thin, small body, so soft and as if unconscious, being held in Zeng Xiaojuan's arms.
Lou Er probably felt embarrassed in front of outsiders, and rudely pulled Zeng Xiaojuan: "What are you doing? Get inside, you're embarrassing yourself."
"You still dare to hit someone? Do you think the Zeng family is dead?"
Zeng Xiaoyan was so angry that she went to protect her sister.
Liang Mingliang was afraid that Lou Er would hit her too, so she took the initiative and strode forward to push Lou Er away forcefully: "Hey, hey, don't hit me, why are you doing this when you're being reasonable?"
Lou Er glared at Liang Mingliang angrily: "."
Who was the one who took action?
Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhu'er were also afraid that Zeng Xiaoyan would suffer a loss, so they followed Zeng Xiaoyan.
They protected Zeng Xiaojuan, while Aunt Lou San and her mother-in-law were still in a daze.
Aunt Lou was furious: "Zeng, what do you want to do?"
Zeng Xiaojuan ignored her and cried and begged Zeng Xiaoyan, "Qiao'er has a severe fever, but they refuse to call a doctor. No matter how much I beg them, they refuse. Xiaoyan, please save Qiao'er, help me save Qiao'er!"
Zeng Xiaoyan hurried to touch Qiao'er's face and forehead - in fact, there was no need to touch, Qiao'er's face was burning red, his breathing was hot, his eyes were half closed, and his eyelids trembled slightly from time to time, and he looked very unwell.
"Let's go to the infirmary!"
"You're not allowed to go!"
The Lou family was embarrassed. Aunt Lou was furious and pulled Zeng Xiaoyan. "This is our family's business. Why do you have to meddle in other people's business? How can a little girl be so delicate? Isn't it just a little fever? Just drink more water! Go to the hospital? Doesn't it cost money?"
Zeng Xiaoyan was furious: "Qiao'er at least calls you grandma every day, and she has the blood of your Lou family flowing in her body. Are you so cruel? I'll pay for it, I don't want your money! You should save your money to buy chicken legs and meat for your eldest grandson. I want to see if you can eat it."
Jiang was unhappy: "Why are you talking about my Fuman? What does it have to do with my Fuman? Fuman is the eldest grandson, so what's wrong with him eating well?"
"I'm too lazy to tell you!"
"This girl is from our Lou family. If I say she's not allowed to go, she's not allowed to go. Your little money has nothing to do with our Lou family. I don't care! A little girl shouldn't be spoiled from a young age."
Xu Zhichun: "You don't want to allow it, right? Then ask your village chief to come and see it."
