Chapter 156

  Sure enough, after eating supper, while it was still dark, Lao Zhoutou gathered the family together for a meeting, formally announced the decision to build the house, and informed everyone that this time, seven houses will be built.

  They have six rooms in this house, three in the middle, one is the main room, the main room in Xiangyang is occupied by Lao Zhoutou and the others, and on the other side is Zhou Dalang's family.

  On the east and west compartments, only the west compartment is complete, and the east compartment has only one. This is because the kitchen is built on the east side and is built down the house.

  Lao Zhoutou was reluctant to use masonry to build the kitchen, so he covered it with mud mixed with thatch.

  This time they plan to expand the building next to it, just knock down the wall of the yard.

Mr. Zhou originally wanted to open a small door to go there, but when he thought about it, if he opened a small door here, he would have to open another door to get in and out. This can cost a lot of money, so after discussing it with Qian, He decided to tear down the east courtyard wall, so that there is only one courtyard.

  The kitchen and wood room are all here, and there is enough space over there, so we will build seven directly, three in the middle, without detention, and two on the east and west compartments, and they will live together.

  Lao Zhoutou's plan is particularly good, "The place is big enough, build the house a bit more generous, and later they will be able to use it when they get married, so it saves trouble."

   Zhou Dalang and the others were excited, but they were still a little worried, "Father, is the money enough?"

  Lao Zhoutou was very simple, "Not enough."

  Everyone:...not enough for them to discuss here?

   "So each of you has to get a portion of the money." Lao Zhou was not polite, and said: "Your Yaomei is only six years old, Qianer gave me 500 Wen to build a house."

  Lao Zhoutou didn't say the rest, but everyone immediately felt a big mountain hit their shoulders.

  Zhou Dalang looked around and asked, "Father, how bad is it?"

  Lao Zhou smoked his flue and said, “After the house is built, we have to make a bed and prepare the bedding.”

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

With Zhou Dalang as a demonstration, Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang can only follow, but Tuesday Lang should be no problem, and Wednesday Lang’s complexion is a bit bitter, he is the least earning of the brothers, and their private houses are also the same. Only in their early twenties, the money was made because they followed the boss and they took turns selling food to the Laudings.

  After making 60% of the parents, the two are equally divided, and he can also save seventy to eighty essays every day.

  Wei Lang felt difficult, but Wu Lang and Sat Lang did not blink their eyes and showed that they also took out two taels of silver.

  Then everyone looked at the silent Chu Lang.

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

  Lao Zhou coughed lightly on his head: “The fourth child’s share is not in a hurry, he can make up the debt after he pays off the family debt.”

  What everyone actually wants to say is that it doesn’t matter if the fourth child does not give it, but the old man has said that, so let’s do it.

   Zhou Xi said: "Father, I'll have two or two too."

  Old Zhou frowned and said, "Your brothers are here, so you don't need to pay. When the fourth child is about to say a kiss, you can lend him some money to get married, and wait until he earns it and pays you back."

  Thursday Lang: ...very good, I have an extra amount of debt.

   Zhou Xi said: "I also live at home, all the treasures are out. I can't make it out for no reason."

  Lao Zhou blurted out, "Are you not married anymore?"

   Zhou Xi said: "I will not marry."

  Lao Zhou's head was so angry that he knocked on the smoke gun, and Qian, who had been silent, said: "Okay, you can hold it if the girl gives it to you."

  Qian said to Zhou Xi: "You will bring the money to me in a moment."

   Zhou Xi let out a "um".

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

  It’s been almost a year, Zhou Xi hasn’t married yet, and Lao Zhoutou doesn’t think that his daughter can’t get married. It’s just that the old wife didn’t try to find her.

Qian said: "When she figured it out, marry again. Haven't you seen her not only fatter, but also ruddy? I asked. The doctor said that she is almost getting nursed back to life. Those matchmakers said that I have I don't like it."

  Lao Zhou's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it possible to give birth?"

  Qian gave a "um".

  Lao Zhou was happy, and finally let go, "Okay, then look for it slowly, this time find a better one. The widower is fine, but the family is not allowed to bring children. It is not easy to be a stepmother."

  As soon as he heard that his daughter’s illness was cured, Lao Zhou’s condition increased, “and the elderly in the family should also take a closer look, don’t be as **** as the Liu family.”

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

  Lao Zhoutou pulled the thread off, and as soon as he turned his head, he met Man Bao’s sparkling eyes. Lao Zhoutou pressed her head and said: "Hurry up and go to school. I have to go to school tomorrow."

  It seems that a house needs to be built, and it is inconvenient to even say a word.

  Zhou Xi’s marriage is harder to find than Chu Lang’s. Lao Zhoutou is ready for a protracted battle, so she doesn’t refuse her money. She will definitely stay at home for a long time.

   Collect all the money from the sons and daughters, and the old Zhou counted them first and was happy. In this way, the money for building the house would be enough.

  At this time, Zhou Dalang was also talking to Xiao Qian, “I don’t know how much money my parents have saved, enough to build seven rooms.”

The little Qian was also worried and whispered: "The six rooms were built back then, plus the purchase of the things in it, it was 42 taels. Now the beds over there are new, and the bedding is also new. I'm afraid that they are 50 taels. Can't stop it."

  Zhou Dalang nodded, "Yes, I don’t know how much the fourth child’s debt has been repaid. By the way, the fourth child still owes us money?"

  The little money came to mind now, yes, the fourth child still owes them money.

The couple looked at each other, and Zhou Dalang said: "The fourth child is not in his hands, and we don’t know how much it has been repaid. Tomorrow you will find time to ask Man Bao, this child, I will ask her, she will not say anything. ."

  Little Qian nodded.

  Man Bao and Xiao Qian have always been close, and their relationship is similar to that of Qian, so after Xiao Qian has prepared meals for the students, he found Man Bao and asked her aside.

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

  "Nine thousand seven hundred and ninety-five essays have been paid back. Last year, the fourth brother paid 2,300 essays for work and business, so I still owe less than three or two."

Xiao Qian blinked, and that even their share was paid back. She counted it in her heart. It seems that her mother-in-law didn’t have enough money. She might deduct the fourth child to pay them back first. As a result, the mother-in-law had at least thirty-two in her hands.

  Plus the 14 taels they gave, I can earn a little more during this time...

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

  If you want to have less, just don’t add a bed.
