So, Xiang Jin told her mother, "Mom, if others don't use it, we have to use it!"
Yang Juyun felt very distressed, frowned and said, "That's not necessary, is it? How much money will be wasted?"
She was still thinking about simply building two or three houses so that the three of them could have a shelter from the wind and rain, and then she would keep the remaining money to pay for their future tuition and fees.
Xiang Jin said, "It's necessary, safety first. It doesn't matter now, but what about the future? I saw a newspaper in school before, saying that an earthquake disaster suddenly occurred in a small town abroad, and then people's houses there were also damaged.
It was built according to our method.
People also added rice soup to the ordinary mud, but when the earthquake came, in just a few minutes, the houses in the entire town were collapsed and razed to the ground. No one was spared.
And many people were killed and injured! Later, after investigation by construction experts, they said that river sand, cement, steel bars and pebbles must be used when building houses, because only in this way will their stickiness and stability be strong.
It can withstand pressure and earthquakes, otherwise it will be easily shattered."
"Really?" Yang Juyun became a little worried and frightened.
Xiang Jin nodded, "It's true, otherwise, how would I know that in addition to bricks and stones, river sand and pebbles, cement and steel bars are also used to build a house? Didn't I read it in books, newspapers and magazines?
It seems.”
Yang Juyun deeply agreed, and then said, "Then I have to make a good budget to see if the money is enough. The main thing is that a prefabricated panel costs four to fifty yuan, which is a big deal."
"Prefabricated panels? You still want to build a building?" Xiang Jin was surprised.
Yang Juyun nodded, "Well, I just want to build it like your Bingchong fathers, two floors, and then build the top. Then we will lock all the food upstairs."
Then Xiang Nan clapped her hands aside and said, "Wow, wow, I like that kind of house. We will also live in a building when the time comes."
Xiang Jin carefully recalled what Xiang Bingchong's house looked like, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but frown.
Just because it’s so ugly!
There are five rooms, two on each side, and a main room in the middle, which goes straight up to the second floor. Each room is not big, but it is very deep. It is like a long room.
Xiang Jin really couldn't appreciate that kind of layout.
But nowadays people like that kind of house very much. Not only Xiang Bingchong's house was built like that, but yesterday when she went out to cut pigweed, she saw that several families in the bay were built like that.
Seeing the longing look on her mother's face, Xiang Jin said, "Mom, actually we don't have to, we can just build a flat floor. Besides, I don't think that house looks good."
Yang Juyun was surprised, "Why doesn't it look good? I think it looks good, and many people here practice this way now."
Xiang Nan nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah, I think it's pretty good-looking too. There are also pretty exterior wall tiles on the outside."
Xiang Jin said, "You have only seen a few houses and you think they look good. Wait until I design a house for you. It will look good."
Xiang Nan curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Bragging!"
Xiang Jin didn't bother to argue with her, but looked at her mother, "Mom, believe me, I will design a house for you when the time comes, ensuring your satisfaction and liking."
"Okay!" Yang Juyun responded with some hesitation. She thought about what kind of house a child could design.
Xiang Jin didn't mind either, and then asked her mother to pack all the money and go save some with her tomorrow. You must know that more than five thousand yuan at this time is a huge sum of money, which will make many people envious.
Well, it's not an option to leave it like this at home.
Yang Juyun collected the money and put it away, and then followed Xiang Jin to discuss with her where their house should be built.
Then Yang Juyun frowned and sighed, "Oh, I am also a little confused. You said that our homes are far away from each other, so if we build a house, we will have to go far away.
Not to mention the remoteness, it will be a single-family home with no neighbors around. If something like this happens, we won’t even have time to find someone to help.”
They don't have extra free land, so if any family wants to build a house, it will occupy their own farmland.
Xiang Jin said, "Let's build it in the flooded land. It's close there and there are more households around. And the land is relatively large, so it's enough to build a house."
Yesterday, she went out to hunt hogweed, and one of her companions was envious and said that the grain crops in their field were growing really well, with big and whole grains growing in them, and they would definitely produce a lot of grain by then.
Xiang Jin was not familiar with them, so she didn't respond to them much at the time, but now she remembered.
Yang Juyun immediately expressed her objection, "No, that piece of land is the most sunny, and the soil is also the most fertile. That piece of land produces the most food every year. From now on, we will live off that piece of land."
Then Xiang Jin said, "Then what do you think we should do? We have to repair that house, and we can't always live in Aunt Liao's house. We still have to have our own home, right?"
You also said that other places are too far away and too remote, but you can’t have too much of everything, you have to make choices.”
Yang Juyun was so confused that she frowned tightly, "Mom knows what you're talking about."
Suddenly her eyes lit up, "We still have a piece of land on the Huangye Bay Ma Tei Den'er. The mouth on that side is your Ruizhi men, and the mouth on this side is your Ruiyuan men. If we go there to repair it,
, in the middle, with neighbors on the left and right, so it’s not too remote.”
Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "The Madi Den'er in Huangye Bay is not that big. How can we build a house with two rooms? Besides, we don't raise chickens or pigs?"
Then Xiang Jin asked her mother, "Whose land is next to each other?"
Yang Juyun's expression darkened again, but she still replied to Xiang Jin's words, "There are two or three points of land owned by Mr. Ruibin on your mountain, and a few points of land owned by your Denglong father over in Liang."
Xiang Jin asked again, "Is there any land on our mountain and Liang side? As long as it is close to them and the soil is about the same, it will be fine?"
"You mean?" Yang Juyun immediately opened her eyes.
Xiang Jin nodded slightly towards her, "Yes, just exchange with them. Isn't it good that we both live close to each other?"
Yang Juyun said, "We have a piece of land in front of the house of your husband Ruibin on the mountain. It's more than two cents, and the soil is about the same as ours in Huangyewan. However, if it were matched, we would probably give them the land in Huangyewan."
If the land cannot be redeemed in full, they probably won't agree. We don't get any land in Liang, only fields."
Then Xiang Jin asked, "Is there any other piece of land on the mountain that is adjacent to our land?"
Yang Juyun said, "You belong to your fathers."
Xiang Jin said, "Then let's exchange it with Bingchong's dads, and use the land under our bay where the water has risen to compete with them. We will give them as much as the difference from Mr. Ruibin on the mountain, and then
Liang will use our field to exchange it with Deng Long and the others to see if they are willing?"
Then Yang Juyun said, "Wouldn't our farmland be reduced?"
Xiang Jin reminded her, "I said there are always trade-offs."
Yang Juyun finally nodded resignedly, "Okay, then I'll go discuss it with them?"
Xiang Jin glanced outside and saw that the sun was a bit harsh, so he said, "How about we go tomorrow? It will be cooler in the morning."
Yang Juyun said, "No, let's go now. It's still early. They are also at home. I can use the money to buy materials tomorrow."
Xiang Jin said, "Then shall I accompany you?"
Yang Juyun refused, "You stay at home. If nothing happens, review that book. Don't forget what mom told you before. Also, take care of your sister. I haven't seen her since she has been on vacation for so long.
She touches the book."
Xiang Nan wanted to refute, but in the end he was short of breath and did not dare to refute.
Seeing that she was acting like a quail, Xiang Jin stopped insisting. Although she didn't have to study, this little girl was different. Judging from her mother's tone and her reaction just now, she probably didn't do well in school either.
Therefore, she still has to take a closer look to see what level she is at. If she is really bad, she still has to make up for it, otherwise, as she gets higher in grade, it will be more difficult for her to learn.
However, Xiang Jin still asked her to put up the umbrella, and Yang Juyun agreed.
