Chapter 72 The Decision to Build a House
Chen Wanniang usually hates this sarcastic tune, but she smiled and was not angry at all, "Oh, you're wrong. It's not that we can't build a house. It's just that your elder brother and I are too busy and don't have that time."
"If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Why do you find such a reason?" Sun Qingmei didn't believe it, and didn't give Chen Wanniang a happy conversation. "One day your house leaks rain and air, I will call my family Youzhi to help me repair it. After all, I'm a brother, and those who should help must also help."
"Hey, that's OK. If you have the ambition to build a house in the spring of next year, you can come and help." Chen Wanniang smiled sweetly.
It doesn’t seem like he’s talking casually when Chen Wanniang looks like that.
Song Youzhi's face froze, "Sister-in-law, is it possible that your family is really going to build a new house?"
"This is fake. Your elder brother and I are discussing these things these days." Chen Wanniang still smiled openly, "Hey, I'm aspiring, we are all a family. When the ground breaks down and starts, your family will help you deliver tribute."
Chen Wanniang was not talking nonsense. She heard from Ma Yulan that this custom is all in their area.
Anyone who builds a house and breaks the ground will have to buy tribute for the Landlord to worship, so that the Landlord can bless them with smooth construction.
Song Youzhi was nominally Huo Junan's brother, and his family came to help with the tribute, so Chen Wanniang's request was not excessive.
Who asked them to come to the door by themselves?
Song Youzhi nodded after hearing this, "If you need me, I should come and help."
"Then we'll make a decision."
Chen Wanniang laughed and took Huo Junan's arm, "Let's go, hurry up, the child is still waiting at home."
"I have the ambition, see you back."
"See you back, sister-in-law."
Chen Wanniang and Huo Junan soon returned home.
Sun Qingmei's face suddenly collapsed, and she stared at Song Youzhi fiercely, "Song Youzhi, are you sick?"
"I, what's wrong with me."
"If you ask you to buy tribute, you agree. Do you know that if you worship the Land Lord, there are rice, oil, wine and meat? And the incense and candles are all for money!"
"What should I say? My sister-in-law has asked her, but I'm so embarrassed to disagree." Song Youzhi frowned, "Besides, you say they can really build a house."
Sun Qingmei's eyes rolled, "Yes, I want to build a new house. They are daydreaming, bah! Bragging!"
Chen Wanniang and Huo Junan returned home here.
Huo Junan also heard the sarcastic words Sun Qingmei said on purpose. He asked Chen Wanniang, "Then have we really decided to build a house?"
"What else?" Chen Wanniang saw the gift brought by the porridge shop owner and said, "Originally, we can't live in this house for a few years. Since I have said everything, let's just build it!"
Anyway, their house was originally going to be rebuilt. Since it is said that, it is the same for the morning and evening.
"Okay, I think this is the same way." Huo Junan said: "I have time these days, I will ask people how to save money."
"Um!"
Chen Wanniang saw the gifts given by the owner of the porridge shop. She had some fun and brown sugar, which were all very good things.
Chen Wanniang thought for a while, "Everyone is here to come, do we have to return the gift?"
"Of course, there is no reason why you don't receive gifts during the Chinese New Year."
"Then let's give you a fish. Besides, the eggs that the dog girl pickles are very fragrant, so I'll buy them some for them to deliver. Just so I'll tell them that if you think the eggs are good, you can buy them from the dog girl."
"Then, where are you going to send me your father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Her mother's home.
Chen Wanniang thought about it.
In the past three years since her marriage to Huo Junan, her relationship with her parents is not very harmonious.
First of all, she was a substitute when she got married. Originally, Huo Junan wanted to marry her cousin Chen Chuniang. The Shen family deceived the Huo family, and the Huo family had a grudge against the Shen family.
Secondly, after getting married, Chen Wanniang became addicted to gambling, so she went back to pay back the gambling debt and borrowed money from her parents several times.
My parents are honest, but my grandmother and uncle's family are tired of Chen Wanniang. In the past two years, the Huo family and the Shen family have been less and less.
But Old Man Huo has almost no relatives, and his only sister has married and has not come back for several years.
After all, the only relative of the Huo family is Chen Wanniang's parents' home.
It’s reasonable and reasonable, they have to go and have a look during the Chinese New Year.
As for the gifts he wanted to give, Chen Wanniang herself owed her parents, so she said, "My parents, then buy two fish, a pack of snacks. I want to give her parents some money. After all, I can't see her many times a year. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Huo Junan said, "Yes, I think it's OK."
"Just agree."
The two of them discussed the matter with each other, so they discussed it.
Xiao Yue'er listened to the gossip on the side, and all of them were heard, "Mom, are we going to visit relatives?"
"Yes, little, I'll take you to see your grandparents in a few days."
"It's so good." Xiao Yue'er danced happily: "Mom, Yue'er hasn't seen her grandpa and grandma yet."
"I'll let you see this time."
"Then how can we go?" Xiaochen interrupted, "Your parents' home is far away."
Their Qingquan Village belongs to Anle Town, Chen Wanniang’s mother’s home is Shenjiatun, and Shenjiatun belongs to Xianghua Town.
Xianghua Town is close to Anle Town, but from Qingquan Village to Shenjiatun, you have to pass through the entire Anle Town.
If you walk, you will have to get up early in the morning with your shoulder pole and take your child, and you will not be able to get home until dark at night.
Chen Wanniang thought about it and it was really hard.
In the past two years, because her life in her in-laws' house was tight, her parents' home looked down on her more and more. Did she work hard to get someone's eyes rolled?
Huo Junan probably saw her displeasure and said with a smile: "It's a long way to travel to relatives, and it's even harder to walk when it snows. Otherwise, let's buy a donkey."
"Buy a donkey..." Chen Wanniang didn't think about this.
But when Huo Junan mentioned this, she was immediately moved.
If there is a donkey, it will be much more convenient to go to the town to do business in the future. I will have to build a house next year, and there will be more places to run errands. It is really suitable to buy a donkey. If you farm, you can still cultivate the fields.
When you have a donkey back to your parents' home, there is also a noodle arrangement.
Chen Wanniang became more and more moved the more she thought about it, and her eyes lit up, "Then where can we buy it?"
"I heard from A Tao's father that a few days ago there was a family in the neighboring village who wanted to sell it, otherwise we would go and have a look tomorrow morning."
"Yeah!" Chen Wanniang nodded repeatedly, "I'll go tomorrow."
"I want to go too." Yue'er hugged Chen Wanniang's neck tightly and shook it.
