Wang Sheng and Lu Wenniang decided to spend their lives together.

Because both of them were old and Lu Wenniang wanted to keep things simple, the two families decided to get married two months later, just before the spring ploughing season.

The relationship between the two people developed rapidly. From time to time, Wang Sheng could find some small things to give to his sweetheart, and he would borrow Su He's mule every time. In the end, the mule simply settled down in his uncle's house. Everyone was happy to see it, except Su He, who was a little worried.

After a month, Su He's mule had become thinner. What would happen if this continued?

Mule: Falling in love is really annoying.

That day, Su He moved a ladder and climbed up to check the location of her house. Winter was about to pass, so she had to quickly draw a layout of the house.

During this period of time, she had climbed the ladder to take a look. The layout of the houses in this village, where the population is mostly concentrated, is in the shape of a U.S. character. There is a piece of open space deliberately left in the middle, where people can set up tables to eat, dry grain and wild vegetables, do carpentry work, do handicrafts, and embroider during the day.

Those with a small population just have two or three simple houses with no regular pattern.

The land that Su He bought is half an acre in size. According to the current area, it is 330 square meters, which is considered large.

The land is a rectangle, and Su He decided to divide it into four parts. There is a blank area on the left side of the entrance, and Su He temporarily plans to pave this area with bluestone slabs. Next is a row of houses, from left to right are the woodshed, kitchen, and storage room.

The second row of houses was built with a distance of 4 meters in the middle. From left to right, they are Mu's house, the study, and Su He and Miao Miao's houses.

Further back is the vegetable garden.

After roughly planning the layout, Su He began to think about the details.

The two rows of houses are connected by corridors in front and back, which makes it very convenient to walk inside on rainy and snowy days. If the eaves of each house are extended outward by half a meter, it can also serve the same purpose.

If it is drizzling, Su He can sit at the door and drink some milk tea and read novels. Speaking of this ancient book, I don’t know if it is good. Next time when I go to the county, I can’t just buy food, I also need to enrich my spiritual world.

The kitchen should be bigger, with tables and chairs, so that we can eat in the kitchen. The extra meat can be stored in the storage room after processing, as well as rice, flour and oil.

By the way, I almost missed the cellar. Every household here has a cellar, and the leftover cabbage and grain are stored in it.

Su He thought that he also had 15 acres of land, which was a lot of grain, so it was necessary to dig a cellar.

The first row dug a big cellar, and the second row asked their uncle to help dig a smaller one.

This small cellar is simply built under his house, just like a modern safe. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, just build it first.

The second row is a room for three people. Because Miaomiao is still young and needs to sleep with her, Su He turned her room into a study first.

The study is in the middle, where everyone can go in to read and write. Mu Mu is fine, and Miao Miao is fine, too.

Speaking of studying, Su He decided to go to the county next time to find out what textbooks Zhixing Private School has. She would buy them in advance to study. If they are all in traditional Chinese, then there would be no problem. She could learn by herself and then teach Miaomiao.

Then there is the vegetable garden at the back, where you can grow some food for daily use. Su He cannot raise pigs, and the mule does not need to stay at home, so Su He wants to raise some chickens in the vacant space, which should not be difficult.

Su He stared at the paper in his hand, writing and drawing, and making some notes from time to time.

She knew nothing about architecture and just drew sketches based on her own needs, and then found professionals to make scientific modifications.

The outline of their small family had taken shape. Su He happily went to find Mu Tou and Miao Miao and asked them for their suggestions.

Mu Tou was more careful. After listening carefully to his sister's introduction, he found that there was no place for a water tank.

"Sister, my uncle has two large water tanks. Which ones should we buy?"

Water tank?

It was terrible. She thought there was a well in the space and didn't think about the water tank at all.

When we lived together before, it was my uncle and cousin who went to fetch water for us. Now that we live separately, it is not Su He's style to trouble my uncle again. It is better not to trouble others for such small matters if I can solve them myself.

Su He simply took one step and dug a well at home.

As for the location of the well, her opinion is not decisive. We need to find a professional master to take a look.

"I will ask a master to dig a well at home so that we can always have water. We only need to buy one water tank."

Mu Tou nodded happily, "Let my uncle's family come to our place to get water, our house is close."

Miaomiao also nodded in agreement, "Sister, don't we have a lot of money? We can buy two big iron pots, one for steaming buns and one for cooking."

"We also need to buy a steamer, a clay pot for lard, and a large vat for rice and flour. We can't prepare only bowls and chopsticks for three people. Tietou said he wants to come often and we've agreed to sleep on the same kang."

Su He raised an eyebrow, "Sleeping on the same kang? Doesn't Tietou have his own room?"

Mu Tou frowned and sighed, "Uncle Shunzi not only snores when he sleeps, but his feet also stink. We are so worried. Since we bought the foundation, Tietou has promised me that he will sleep with me from now on."

Miaomiao also quickly raised her hand to report, "Sister, Tiantian and I have also made an appointment. We are going to sleep together."

After Wang Yanzhi brought Tiantian back, the two lived a peaceful life, and Tiantian became much bolder at her grandparents' home.

Although Miaomiao is the younger aunt in terms of seniority, it does not affect her and Tiantian being good sisters. The two little ones are about the same age and they play together hand in hand every day.

Of course Su He was willing. Children just want to play happily. It couldn't be better for the two little ones to have company.

After Su He confirmed his brother and sister-in-law's ideas, he took the drawn picture to find his grandfather. Things like this should be asked to the elderly, as they have more experience.

There was not much to do these days, so everyone gathered in grandpa's room as usual, with the old and the young sitting on the kang, and the young sitting on stools beside it.

"Everyone is here, come and take a look at the picture I drew. Grandpa, this is the house I am going to build. What do you think of it?"

Su He put the drawings on the small table and the whole family gathered around to look at them.

"Oh, Lotus, your painting is amazing. Why do I feel that this house is so beautiful, as if I could walk into it?"

Wang Bin was very curious when looking at the painting. This painting was different from the ones he had seen before. The previous ones were just ordinary paintings, but the one painted by his cousin looked so real. Wang Bin didn't know how to describe his feelings.

In fact, this is a three-dimensional picture. Wang Bin used to see two-dimensional pictures, but Su He drew a three-dimensional picture.

"My paintings are average, as long as you can understand them. Let me introduce them to you. First, let's go in... That's basically it."

"Grandpa, I'm going to dig a well so that my uncle and cousin won't have to run outside to fetch water every day."

There are only two wells in Liushu Village, one at the head and one at the end of the village.

My grandpa's house is right in the middle, so it's far away from anywhere.

"Lotus, according to your drawing, your house will cost a lot of money. Are you sure?"

"Grandpa, this house is built for us to live in for the rest of our lives. I'd rather spend more now and live more comfortably."

Seeing Su He's firm attitude, grandpa remembered the one thousand taels of silver that Su He had received last time, and didn't say anything else.
