[Comprehensive] Female Supporting Counterattack Diary

Chapter 60

The ancients were very superstitious. As soon as there was a house for sale here, someone would come to buy it there.Li Zheng also regarded it as God's will.After thinking about it, he didn't say anything, and directly led Zhou and the brothers to see the house and land.

Because the back mountain is relatively remote, there are not many people living there.So draft is a big problem.If it wasn't for the water problem, the house and land wouldn't be cheap enough for the two brothers, so that Father Zhou would die.

Several people walked all the way to the back mountain.The first thing I saw was the five acres of land surrounded by fences, because it was in the back mountain of the Wudang sect, even if it was a hillside land, it cost five taels of silver at that time.After the brothers bought the land, they first built a fence around it, and then built a well on a high point in the field.However, the location of the well is a bit off, so if you don't point it out, most people really don't notice it.At least the few people who came to see the place today didn't find it.After seeing the land, the group went to see the house again.

The house is surrounded by a high stone wall.The black gate faced east and was just big enough for a donkey cart to enter.There is a big jujube tree in the front yard, which seems to be quite old.

"When our two brothers bought the base of this house, there was this jujube tree. There are also several fruit trees in the yard behind the house." As he spoke, he led everyone to look around in the front and back yards.

The person who spoke was none other than Zhiruo who drank the compound decoction.House-elves are not good at that kind of work.Therefore, Zhiruo had no choice but to go out on her own.Thank you for buying a lot of compound decoction. This thing is really the best choice for home travel.

The front yard is [-] square meters, which seems a bit small to ordinary aborigines.From the gate to the door of the house, a road was paved with stone slabs in the middle, dividing the whole yard into two parts, left and right.Apart from a jujube tree on the left, there is a round stone table and a complete set of stone benches.On the right side near the door, a simple rain-shielding shelf was built, and it looked like it hadn't been completed yet.So the whole right side is really empty, nothing at all.At first glance, people can think of raising some poultry here.

And the back yard looks bigger.It's about [-] square meters.

"We two brothers are going to grow some vegetables we eat at home in the backyard, so the backyard has been turned into a vegetable garden. Uncle Zhou, take a look."

Father Zhou took a look and felt that the layout of the front and back yards was very reasonable.Grow some vegetables in the backyard, so you don’t have to go out and buy them.The most important thing is these fruit trees. In the past few months, his daughter loves to eat fruit very much.Every time you go to Mizushima, you must bring back at least half a basket.Well now, the backyard not only has fruit trees, but also a vegetable garden, which really saves time and money.And the unfinished shed in the front yard can be used as a donkey shed.Father Zhou nodded while thinking.

"It's just that the roof is flat." The only thing about this yard that makes Father Zhou dissatisfied is here.

"Uncle Zhou, we are outsiders. Most of our houses are built like this. We used to use grass and tiles to make the roof. But it is not strong. If there is a strong wind, it will be strong. Some rain. There must be something wrong with the roof. If you don’t hurry to fix it, the whole family will be exposed to the rain. It’s raining outside, but it’s raining lightly in the house. Let’s fix it quickly, it’s too dangerous if it’s windy and rainy. So, come Later, almost all of our houses used this kind of stone and brick roofs." Zhiruo was not fooling people.Because it is also true.When I used to watch TV dramas, I always saw people who had to work on the roof in windy and rainy days.How old is Father Zhou, this kind of thing should be avoided if possible.

Hearing what Zhiruo said, Father Zhou also felt that it made sense. "This young man is right. Especially in this back mountain, the mountain breeze is probably not less."

"Besides, Uncle Zhou, look again. All the walls of this house are made of large stones and high-quality bricks like the roof. They are so strong. It is estimated that there will be no problem if you live there for hundreds of years. Moreover, the roof is flat. It would be nice to have a place to dry the food.” Keep up the good work, and continue talking about the benefits of the roof.

Ri was looking at the roof but didn't say anything.The less trouble, the better.If people feel good.He didn't want to say anything more.

"Can you go inside and take a look?" Father Zhou finished looking outside, and was about to go inside and take another look.

Hearing this, Zhen Zhiruo, a fake young man, led the crowd into the house.It turns out that the design of this house is also very interesting.The whole shape is like an 'h' shape.

As soon as you enter the house, it is a place for hospitality, but it doesn't look too big.It turned out that a room was blocked by a wall from the middle into two front and back rooms.Not far from the door in front, there are three chairs on the left and right.Near the wall in the middle is a large kang that is as high as a chair, but three meters long and 1.5 meters wide.The two ends of the kang are small aisles leading to the back.

After passing through the small passage, behind it was a big round table, two big stoves and a clay stove for boiling water.It turned out to be a kitchen and dining room.There is also a door on the backmost wall. When you open it, you are facing the vegetable field in the backyard.

When I first arrived at the back, there were two doors on the left and right of the small passages on both sides. After entering, the two front rooms turned out to be two bedrooms.Because the door is opened at the back, so when guests come, they are not afraid to see them directly as soon as they leave the bedroom.

"The bedroom on the east side was originally prepared for my mother. Look, uncle, this is our famous kang, which is always warm in winter. The one on the west side belongs to the three of us, which is similar to this one. There is a heated kang. Just now, you must have seen the two big stoves in the kitchen. When cooking, which side of the stove and the other side of the kang are also hot. The small kang in the front hall, this clay stove for boiling water It's in charge."

"Oh, by the way, when the two rooms behind the two bedrooms were built, one was prepared as a woodshed and the other as a warehouse. This is safe and convenient. Look, how is it? " Put the barn and firewood shed in the wind, so you don't have to go out to get things in winter.

"Not bad, not bad." Father Zhou kept nodding while watching.The house is really nice.Most of them are built of stone and brick.Big and strong.

"Uncle Zhou, let me take a step to talk. There is a cellar under the firewood house, which is about the same size as the room above. It's good for you to store things all the time, and you can take refuge in whatever happens in the future." When looking at the house left and right, he whispered to Zhou Laopa.

Father Zhou glanced at Li Zheng, and nodded knowingly.The less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

Afterwards, the fake young man led the crowd to look again, and settled on the indoor well in the corner of the kitchen.Speaking of this, I have to say how timid Zhiruo is.She has always been afraid of the open-air round wells in ancient times, and always felt that they were prepared for the convenience of others to commit suicide by jumping into the well.That was the first scene of the ancient murder.So, when building a house, she thought of replacing it with the kind of foreign well that was so common in the 90s.For this kind of well, as long as you press the handle hard up and down, the water will be pumped up from the ground due to the suction force in the air.Very practical and convenient.

......

Even the house and the fields, although Zhou Daddy was satisfied, he still bargained and finally bought it with 12 taels of silver.Although this price is much more expensive than Father Zhou originally planned, it is really worth the money.Especially when the younger generation of that house told him quietly later that there was such a well in the field.

After looking at the house and going through the formalities, it took a total of one day.Father Zhou sent away the two brothers who were selling the house, so that he had time to look at the daughter who had been relatively silent all day.

"Girl, why are you so listless today." She patted Zhiruo's head and asked.

"No, Dad, I'm just a little tired. Come again, there's no room for me to talk." Dear dad, this afternoon, it's not your daughter, you always haven't noticed?

"By the way, Dad. I'll go to make it easier for you."After that, he ran to the backyard.The Mao side was built next to the firewood house.There is a door outside, and you can also enter through the door connected to the woodshed.

After entering Mao's side, Zhiruo entered the space.

"Ding Ding, when I saw Li Zheng walking, there was something wrong with his eyes. You go after him first, knock him out, and I'll be there soon."

Just now when I was walking, I looked at the house and the ground inside and out.It felt like there was something inexplicable in the eyes.I might not know if I have taken a fancy to this house.Their father and daughter just settled here.You can't be careless.

He cast some small spells inside, so that he was not so concerned and curious about Zhou's father and daughter and Zhou's house.Just let him go back.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhiruo walked out from Mao's side.

"Father, it's not early yet. Let's tidy up first and eat something. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow." Zhiruo said to Father Zhou who was circling outside with some rice.

.................................................. ............................

Father Zhou lives in the east front room, and the east back room is a woodshed.Zhiruo lived in the west front room, and the west back room was used as a warehouse.Although it was summer, it was still a bit cold in the mountains. At night, it might be unbearable.So the father and I first boiled a pot of porridge on the big stove in charge of the fire in the east room, and then steamed some dried meat and salted fish on another big stove.

In summer, because two large stoves are fired, no matter which one can heat the small kang in the living room in front of the kitchen, there is no need to build another mud stove.

"Girl, this will be our home from now on. Dad will go to the town tomorrow to buy some living things, and we can settle down here in a down-to-earth way. I heard that Yuan soldiers dare not come here to make trouble." Father Zhou felt really comfortable.After so many years, I finally have my own house and land.

"Father, is the town you're going to the one we passed by when we came here?" Zhiruo asked holding a glass of water.

"I asked Lizheng. There is only such a town nearby. There are all kinds of things and the prices are fair." Father Zhou looked at his daughter holding a water glass, and smiled back at her.Although there is still a lot of money left, it is necessary to save some money.The daughter is getting older day by day, and the dowry has to be saved up.

"It's so far away. It will take at least three hours to go back and forth."

"Doesn't our family have a car? If we don't have a car, we'll be farther away." Father Zhou disagrees, as life is like this these years.

Zhiruo rolled her eyes, smiled and asked her father: "By the way, is there a basement under Dad's woodshed? I seem to have heard it at the meeting just now."

"It's too late, let's go down to see it tomorrow in the daytime." It's late at night, and I can't see anything clearly.It's better to wait until tomorrow.

"Oh", that's just right, you can put more things in it tonight.But Zhiruo also knew that she must go to that town.

"It turns out that there are still a few bolts of cloth in the car, and you can find them tomorrow. You can make clothes or tents. Don't follow me to the town. If you want anything, Dad will buy it for you." Father Zhou seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said to Zhiruo who was about to get up and go back to the room.

The girl is older, so don't run outside.In the past, she was a boatman's daughter in Hanshui, so she couldn't pay attention to these things.Now that the family has this condition, the girl should stay at home and not show her face in public.

"I see, Father. Shall we leave tomorrow morning?" The original Zhou Zhiruo had been learning needlework from the women in the village when she was in Hanshui.Embroidery or something, I only know a rough idea.However, sewing and mending work is no longer necessary to ask for help.

"Well, you go to bed. Dad is going to feed the donkey, and then I will go to bed."

"I just boiled a big pot of water on the big stove. Daddy should soak his feet before going to bed. I'll feed the donkey. Anyway, the fodder is now."

After that, he went to the kitchen to pour the footwashing water for Father Zhou.And Father Zhou looked at the girl who went out and thought about it, and then went out to feed the donkey.The unguarded father and daughter went to the back room, and the other went directly to the yard, but they didn't meet each other.

When Zhiruo returned to the east room with the basin in hand, Father Zhou happened to have fed the donkey too.
