The business of selling sour bamboo shoots came to an end, and there was nothing to do at home for the time being. Li Xin looked at the crumbling appearance of several houses at home, and thought about building a new house. It happened that he only got fifty taels of silver from selling sour bamboo shoots.

, just building a house in the countryside is not enough.

It doesn't rain much at this time, so it's a good time to build a house. Not to mention that when the rainy season comes, they won't be able to build a house. I'm afraid their house won't be able to survive the rainy season. On weekdays, as long as it rains a little, the house will be everywhere.

It's all leaking, and it will definitely be uninhabitable during the rainy season.

Li Xin told Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang about the idea of ​​building a house, and they both agreed. Although building a house costs money, in the countryside, it usually takes a lifetime to build a good house, so in their hearts

, the house is considered a big family property. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang asked their siblings to clean up and move to the Zhang family. The dilapidated house here was demolished first, and then they planned carefully how to build a house.

As soon as he said it was done, Li Xin and his younger brothers and sisters packed up their things and moved to the Zhang family. Uncle Zhang contacted the craftsmen who built the house, and ran around to buy bricks and tiles from brick-burning places. Because

The wood had not been prepared before, so he had to buy it. Uncle Zhang was busy running around the surrounding villages to see which house had suitable wood.

Li Xinze spends all day drawing the design of the house. She still likes the style of the courtyard. The courtyard is open, and once the door is closed, there is a separate small world inside. In the past, the house was surrounded by wasteland. In the village,

It was allowed to expand the house on such wasteland, so she built the house larger. She designed the traditional courtyard style.

The gate of the house is in the southeast corner, and parallel to it is a row of inverted houses. There is a screen wall inside the gate, and then there is the courtyard wall and the hanging flower gate. The front yard and the inner courtyard are separated by the hanging flower gate and the courtyard wall. Then go in and you will find the inner house. To the north is

The main house has three main rooms and two ears, and three wing rooms on the east and west. On both sides of the main house are two span courtyards on the east and west, and at the end is a row of back rooms. A circle of hand-painted verandahs are built around the outer edge of the house, facing the hanging flower door.

catch.

This kind of courtyard house has the characteristics of the north. The courtyard is wide and spacious, and the houses on the four sides are independent and connected by corridors, making living very convenient. The courtyard is spacious, where you can plant trees and flowers, raise birds and fish, and stack rocks to create landscaping.

.

When Li Xin's design drawings came out, Uncle Zhang had already found materials and craftsmen. After demolishing the Li family's dilapidated house, they could build a new house. No one in the area had built a courtyard house.

, so the craftsmen hired to build the house had never built a courtyard before, and they had never seen it before. Li Xin explained it to the craftsmen in detail. Fortunately, they were all in this industry, so it was not difficult to understand.

Materials were brought in one after another, and the house began to be built in full swing.

Li Xin would go there every day to watch, firstly, to watch the progress; secondly, to watch the craftsmen working, and if there was anything inappropriate, he would point it out in time. The house built by Li Xin's family attracted many people in the village to look at it.

After all, everyone in the village knew how poor the Li family was in the past. Now that they suddenly have money to build a house, they naturally come to see the excitement and wonder whether the Li family has suddenly made a fortune.

.Some good people who look down on others will inevitably make some acidic remarks after seeing the excitement, and Li Xin doesn't pay much attention to them.

Uncle Zhang went over to help every day, and the village chief also went over to watch for most of the day. If there was anything he could do, he would help. Aunt Zhang took Wenbo, Wenhao and Yuexiang to pick vegetables and cook.

The craftsmen had to be provided with meals every day. Because it was a laborious job, Li Xin spent a lot of money and prepared delicious dishes to entertain the craftsmen every day. Yueting was still young, so she couldn't help with the cooking.

Whatever happened, Yuexiang was too busy to take care of her, so Li Xin took her to watch the house being built every day.

Materials were constantly supplied, and more craftsmen were hired, so the progress was very fast. By May, the weather was already very hot, and the wheat in the fields was golden. It was already harvest season in the village.

Li Ye started to get busy all of a sudden, and every household went to the fields to harvest wheat. The Li family built a house, and Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were busy with things here every day, and they were too busy to harvest wheat. Li Xin looked at this

There was no other option, so she hired hired workers to help Aunt Zhang's family harvest wheat. She thought it was fun, and sometimes she would carry a basket and Yuexiang to pick wheat ears.

Almost no children in the village go to school, so the older ones help with the work at home, while the younger ones play all over the mountains and fields. At this wheat harvest season, the adults are busy working in the fields, so they

Hui caught his own children picking ears of wheat in the sky. Li Xin took Yueting to the wheat field, and saw children everywhere carrying baskets to pick ears of wheat. Some picked them seriously, while others lost patience after picking them up.

Now, I'm running around and playing.

Xiaowang and Niu Niu from Aunt Zhang's family also went to the field to pick up wheat ears. Although the two children were still young, they were very obedient and kept picking up wheat ears seriously.

"Sister, my face hurts." Yueting yelled after picking it up for a while. Li Xin looked over and saw that it might be because it was too hot. Yueting's face was all red from the sun, and she was sweating heavily.

Maybe she was sweating, so she wiped it with her hands. The wheat ears in her hands poked her face, and she kept complaining that it hurt.

"Stop picking it up, go play aside!" Li Xin took Yueting and walked to the edge of the field. There were some willow trees growing on the edge of the field. They must have been planted for several years, so they grew with lush branches and long willow branches.

It hung down, and it was green at this time of year. It was quite cool in the shade under the tree, so Li Xin let Yueting sit under the tree. He poured water for her to drink from the kettle he brought, and then wet it with water.

Pa Zi wiped her face and saw that she was feeling better, so he gave her some snacks and let her play under the tree.

When Li Xin returned to the sky, she saw that Niu Niu's face was flushed from the sun and her head was sweating. It was pitiful for a four-year-old child to have such hard work, so she refused to let Niu Niu pick it up and let her go and pick it up with Yueting.

Play.

Although it was very hard, Li Xin still felt very happy looking at the golden ears of wheat in the basket. At a glance, there were golden ears of wheat everywhere, which is the color of harvest.

Farmers in the countryside never think about how much money they can make from the fields under their feet. They only want to harvest the food they plant every day and be able to eat it for the whole family. Food in this era is not very productive, and in fact, you can barely make it by planting a lot of fields.

However, some families only harvest half a year's worth of food from fields they cultivate for a year. Moreover, they all rely on the weather for food, and drought or floods are all disasters.

Although no one is too rich, it still makes people feel warm in this countryside. There won't be too much intrigue here, and many people are very simple. It feels really good, and even the air seems to be unusually fresh.

However, the harmonious atmosphere is always easy to be broken. Li Xin and Xiao Wang did not continue picking up for long before they heard the cries of Yueting and Niu Niu. (Please vote for me!)
