Chapter 156

Sure enough, after dinner, before it was dark, Lao Zhoutou gathered the whole family for a meeting, officially announced the decision to build the house, and informed everyone that seven rooms would be built this time.

There are six rooms in their house, three in the middle, one is the main room, the main room in Xiangyang is for Lao Zhoutou and the others, and the other side is for Zhou Dalang's family.

As for the east and west wings, only the west wing is complete, and there is only one in the east wing, because the kitchen is built on the east side, and it is built down the house.

Old Zhoutou was reluctant to use bricks and stones to cover the kitchen, so he used mud mixed with thatch to cover it.

This time, they plan to extend it next to it, and just push down the wall of the yard.

Old Zhoutou originally wanted to open a small door to go there, but when he thought about it, if a small door was opened here, it would be more convenient to open a door there to get in and out, which would cost a lot of money, so after discussing with Qian, He decided to tear down the east courtyard wall, so that there is only one courtyard.

The kitchen and firewood rooms are all here, and there is enough space there, so seven rooms are built directly, three in the middle, no need to stay in the hall, and two rooms on the east and west sides.

The old Zhoutou planned very well, "The place is big enough, build the house a little bigger, and they can use it when they get married in the future, saving trouble."

Zhou Dalang and the others were excited to hear it, but they were still a little worried, "Dad, do you have enough money?"

Old Zhou Tou was very straightforward, "Not enough."

Crowd: ... not enough, what are they discussing here?

"So each of you has to pay a portion of the money." Old Zhou Tou was also polite and said, "Your youngest sister is only six years old, and the former gave me 500 yuan to build a house."

Old Zhou Tou didn't say anything about the rest, but everyone immediately felt that a big mountain fell on their shoulders.

Zhou Dalang looked around and asked, "Dad, how far is it?"

Old Zhoutou smoked the chimney: "The house is built, and we have to make a bed and prepare a quilt."

The brothers felt even more pressure. Zhou Dalang calculated the private money for their house, and finally gritted his teeth, "Dad, then I'll take out two taels of silver."

With Zhou Dalang's demonstration, Tuesday and Wednesday can only follow, but Tuesday should be fine, but Wednesday's face is a little bitter. He is the least earner among the brothers, and their private houses are also shared. It's only in the early twenties, and the money can be obtained because they follow the boss and they take turns to sell food to the Laoding.

After handing over 60% of the public service, the two share it equally, and he can save 70 to 80 cents a day.

On Wednesday, Lang felt it was difficult, but on Friday, Lang and Sat. Lang took two taels of silver without blinking their eyes.

Then everyone looked at the silent Thurou.

Thursday Lang wanted to cry, but he stared at it and looked back, but he wanted to give it, and he had to have it!

Lao Zhoutou coughed lightly and said, "The fourth one is not in a hurry. He can make it up after he has paid off the family's debt."

What everyone actually wants to say is that it doesn't matter if the fourth child doesn't give it, but the father said so, so let's go.

Zhou Xi said, "Father, I'll give out a couple of taels too."

Old Zhou Tou frowned and said, "Your brothers are all here, you don't need to come out. When the fourth child wants to say kiss, you can lend him some money to marry him, and he will pay you back after he earns it."

Thursuro: ...Very well, I have another debt on my body.

Zhou Xi said, "I also live at home, and all the treasures are out. There's no reason for me to go out."

Old Zhou Tou blurted out, "You're not getting married?"

Zhou Xi said: "I won't marry."

Old Zhou Tou was so angry that he knocked on the smoking gun, and Qian Shi, who had been silent all the time, said, "Okay, you can take what your daughter gave you."

Qian said to Zhou Xi, "Give me the money later."

Zhou Xi made a "hmm" sound.

Old Zhou was a little angry, and after returning to the house, he asked Qian Shi, "Do you really plan to keep the child at home for the rest of your life?"

It's been almost a year, and Zhou Xi hasn't gotten married yet. The old Zhoutou didn't think his daughter couldn't get married, so it could only be that the old wife didn't try to find her.

Qian Shi said: "Wait until she figured it out and remarry. Haven't you seen her not only gaining weight, but also ruddy face this year? I asked, and the doctor said that she is almost nursed back to health. I can't see it."

Old Zhou Tou's eyes lit up and asked, "Can you give birth?"

Qian Shi said "um".

The old Zhoutou was happy, and finally let go, "Okay, let's look for it slowly, this time to find a better one, the widower can do it, but the family is not allowed to bring children, it's not easy to be a stepmother."

As soon as he heard that his daughter's illness was cured, the condition of the old Zhoutou increased. "And the elderly in the family have to be careful, but don't fuck like the Liu family."

Qian lost the thread on his face and said, "Man Bao, listen."

Lao Zhoutou pulled the thread off, and as soon as he turned his head, he met Bao Bao's bright eyes. Old Zhoutou pressed her head down and said, "Go to bed now, you have to go to school tomorrow."

It seems that a house has to be built, and it is inconvenient to even speak.

Zhou Xi's marriage was even harder to find than Zhou's. Old Zhou Tou was ready for a protracted war, so he didn't refuse her money. She would definitely stay at home for a long time.

After receiving all the money from his sons and daughters, the old Zhou first counted them and was happy. In this way, the money for building a house was enough.

At this time, Zhou Dalang was also talking to Xiao Qian, "I don't know how much money my parents have saved, and whether it is enough to build seven rooms."

Mrs. Qian was also worried, and whispered: "The six rooms were built back then, and forty-two taels were spent in addition to the purchase of the things inside. Now the beds and beddings over there need to be new, so I'm afraid fifty-two taels. Can't stop."

Zhou Dalang nodded, "Yeah, I don't know how much the fourth child has repaid. By the way, the fourth child still owes us money, right?"

It was only then that Mrs. Qian remembered, yes, the fourth child still owes them money.

The couple looked at each other, and Zhou Dalang said, "The fourth child doesn't have any money in his hands, and we don't know how much he paid. Tomorrow, you can ask Man Bao when you find time. This child, I asked her, she would not tell her life or death. ."

Little Qian nodded.

Man Bao and Xiao Qian's have always been close, and their relationship is similar to that of Qian's, so Xiao Qian found Man Bao after preparing meals for the students, and took her to the side to ask.

As soon as she asked, Man Bao said it all, and she didn't remember what she said when she rejected the elder brother, because in Man Bao's heart, the elder sister-in-law was the same as herself. She told her secrets to herself, of course not to others.

"Nine thousand seven hundred and ninety-five cents have been repaid. Last year, the fourth brother paid 2,300 cents for his work and business, so he still owes less than three taels."

Xiao Qian blinked, that was even their share, and she counted it in her heart. It seemed that the mother-in-law did not have enough money, so she might deduct the fourth child to pay them back, but this way As a result, the mother-in-law has at least thirty-two in her hands.

In addition to the fourteen taels they gave, I can still earn some more during this time...

With such a count, the little Qian Shi was happy and said, "In this way, the money for building a house is almost the same."

If it's really few, don't add a bed first.
