Listening to Mrs. Song's teasing, Bai Yunxi pointed to the chair opposite and poured her a glass of water.
"I can't help it. This shack can survive one winter, but I can't guarantee it can survive the second. If it collapses, there will be a nest of old, weak, women and children in the house. If anything happens, I won't be able to say anything.
Go see the child’s father.”
"Now, while there is still peace, hurry up and build the house. No matter what happens in the war, I will have a sense of security in my heart."
Speaking of this, Bai Yunxi approached Song Wang and spoke in a low voice,
"Rumors about the war are not good for the people, but I benefited from it and the grain was sold at a high price."
Baiyunxi said and sighed quietly,
"Although this thing sounds unreasonable, for us ordinary people, isn't it just the harvest of this three-thirds of an acre of land all year round? When the country is at war, that is what the royal government should worry about. We ordinary people can only let it go.
, can’t influence anything at all?”
"So, I took advantage of the high food prices and sold them directly, so that I could renovate a house."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Song Wang nodded in agreement,
"Don't talk about you, my family's food was sold out yesterday and replaced with coarse grains. We can't control the war. Who knows how long they will use up their energy? We still have to plan for ourselves."
"Besides, how can we control the rise in food prices? Even if the war affects us, those officials will not be able to take care of us ordinary people at the bottom."
Mrs. Song said, looked up and around, and spoke in a low voice.
"I think it's very right that you chose this period to build a house. The war in the northwest is not known to last until the Year of the Monkey. If anything happens, we can live our lives behind closed doors and feel at ease."
"You're right, that's what I meant too."
Seeing the carts of green bricks and tiles entering the village one after another and stacking them in the open space next to them, the people in the village were very excited.
Most of the houses built by rural people are thatched houses, which are better quality houses than shacks.
Since the start of construction, the entire Baiyunxi family has entered a busy period.
After all, if there really was a fight, let alone a courtyard, or even a city, it would be impossible to defend it, but she couldn't tell the Song Wang family this.
Urging the family to do things was smooth and reliable. Under the leadership of the master ink master, all the workers were able to get to the job in one go. Except for the fact that the wood was not delivered, bricks and tiles were transported to the village non-stop every day, so there was no problem with the supply.
Houses with slightly better conditions only use tiles around the roof ridge, and the rest is still covered with thatch. As long as they are diligent and change the grass regularly every year, there will be no leakage.
Listening to Song Wang's tone, Bai Yunxi nodded,
In addition to thatched houses, the walls of every household, most of the walls in the countryside are made of mud walls, which are made of soil mixed with crushed thatch, which is strong and strong.
But now, looking at the condition of the Baiyunxi family, with the green bricks and blue tiles being delivered one after another, I guess they don’t want to use any mud at all.
Thinking about their yard before and looking at it now, many people can't help but feel sore.
"After all, it's better to raise people's homes. It's just that they are different from us ordinary people. If we don't build a house, we will just build a house with blue bricks and blue tiles. We will look at it with envy."
"It's not good. We still see people living in shacks every day and laugh at them from heaven to hell. In just a short time, they have turned around. If you look at us again, you can't compare."
