After being reborn, he was favored by the god of war husband [Farming]
Chapter 73 Day 2 of Chapter Village, build a big house and look at the foundation!
After not coming back for a long time, the original lighting in the yard was broken, so Wei Chen pulled the rope out again to hang a large candle, lighted it up, hung up the cover, and the whole small courtyard was lit up.
Li Chong sat on the stool drinking tea and eating melon seeds, while asking Wei Chen about the situation on the way out this time.
Wei Chen can't talk much, and he doesn't like to brag. Song Jiang can brag vigorously. He talked over and over about the encounter with the water bandits on the boat at that time. Fascinated.
Su Che was reading a book in the room, but now he couldn't sit still, so he threw away the book and set up a stool to come out and listen to the story.
Not to mention him, even the few people who were busy in the stove, and Zhang Changlin, who was squatting at the door to kill chickens, listened to each other. taste--
Song Jiang took a breath and asked, "What's wrong?"
Aunt Zhang and Bai Shuang just searched around and found the stove in the stove house. Looking at it, good guy, the pot is all boiled dry!
Fortunately, the reaction was quick, the pot was not burned, and the others laughed, otherwise, tonight, everyone would have to drink the Northwest Wind together.
Su Jiu was making bedding with Beibei in the house, but when he heard the voice in the courtyard, he turned his head and looked out. The small courtyard was very busy, and when he saw Su Che in the courtyard, he gave Li Beibei a wink.
When the two came out, Li Beibei sat next to Su Che on a stool. His back was tense, and he could see the tension.
I'm afraid that everyone in this yard can see that he is interested in Su Che, especially his father and a few older brothers, their eyes can't wait to poke two holes in Su Che's back.
Su Che felt a chill on his back, but when he turned around, he saw nothing, and went back to the room to put on a coat.
Su Jiu sighed while watching.
Seeing him gnashing his teeth, Wei Chen also took a look at the situation over there, helplessly: "Let young people decide for themselves, don't worry too much about it."
During the meal, two large round tables were set up, and those who drank and those who did not drink sat separately without disturbing each other.
It's just that many raging flames on the dinner table tonight seemed to be heading towards Su Che. The big man Erlang Saburo Shiro toasted in turn, as if he had to be drunk down. Fortunately, Su Che had Wei Chen's help Stay away from alcohol.
Li Chong is different from his stunned young sons, he will not be so hostile, but he can't help but look at him secretly, it turns out that the boy Bei Bei likes is him——
It can be regarded as meeting the parents of both parties indirectly, but they don't tell each other. It depends on how the young people themselves handle this matter.
The small courtyard halfway up the mountain hadn't been this lively for a long time, but tonight it was brightly lit, and it was only in the middle of the night that it calmed down.
Wei Chen went out to see off the guests with gift boxes, all of which were specialties bought along the way, and when he left, he brought a copy for each of them.
In the yard, Su Jiu was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, she still had to help clean up the dishes, and was called to sleep by Bai Shuang.
Su Jiu rubbed her red eyes, just in time Wei Chen saw him coming in after seeing off the guests, so without further ado, he took Su Jiu to rest first.
He glanced at Su Jiu: "I've been busy all day, and it's time to sleep. If you don't sleep, my son will still sleep."
Su Jiu: "..."
He took advantage of the situation and closed his eyes on the bed: "I said, why are you so sleepy? It turns out that your son wants to sleep."
Wei Chen followed suit and sat down beside the bed, stroking Su Jiu's belly with one hand: "Did he say that he wants me to coax me to sleep?"
Su Jiu shook her head: "No, he told you to be quiet."
Wei Chen: "..."
Heartless little bastard.
A peaceful night without dreams.
On the second day, Wei Chen got up before dawn, Bai Shuang was used to getting up early, and couldn't fall asleep when the time came, so he also woke up early in the morning to make breakfast.
After a while, there was very little smoke from cooking in the yard. Wei Chen picked up the water in the water tank, chopped the firewood, and came over to help Bai Shuang light the fire. He asked about the villagers being harassed by bandits recently, even though they heard the village chief last night. Having said that, but it seems that the situation in other villages is more dire.
Mentioning those violent bandits, Bai Shuang was furious: "About seven or eight of them come once, and they dare to do anything, kill and set fire. We have only come to Xianhe Village three times. When we come, it's good that we can get things. If you can't get anything, whether it's cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs in the village, or the crops that haven't come out of the nest, you will ruin them all!"
"Hey, son Chen, didn't you beat water bandits on the water? Is there any way to get rid of these thugs? The nearby villagers have been devastated by them, and they don't know what the world is like in spring!"
"This person can only be considered a person if he has lived this year." She said.
Bai Shuang only said some angry words casually, how could she be willing to let her son-in-law take this risk?Just hearing about the danger on the boat last night made her feel scared for a while, but she didn't expect that Wei Chen really took this matter to heart. In fact, he called the group of guys from the village who dared to stand up to fight the bandits last night. These courageous people, Wei Chen wanted to assemble them into a guard team to deal with emergencies in the village.
Now that we know that there is an enemy hidden and will attack at any time, if we don't make preparations in advance, is it possible to wait for someone to come before acting recklessly?
I'm afraid those bandits are not vegetarians. If they continue to make trouble like this, they will become more and more courageous. At first, they may just want to grab something, but when they find that no one dares to resist, they dare to do more drastic things, such as murder and arson. , if they don't even have the principles of being a human being in the end, they will develop into the water bandits they met in Xiangshui Town and directly slaughter villages and towns, so it will be a matter of time before they go to Xinye Township!
Song Jiang stared at a pair of dark circles in the morning.
Wei Chen looked at him: "Did you sleep well?"
Song Jiang was speechless: "Ask your brother-in-law."
Last night, he was often pulled by Su Che to chat about the world's deeds. He used to be a bed sleeper, so he couldn't sleep well all night because of being pestered.
Wei Chen had a half-smile: "Don't you like to talk? Wouldn't it be nice for someone to listen to you?"
"Come on, let me sleep too!" Song Jiang protested.
Wei Chen asked him to sit on the stone bench and told him something.
After Song Jiang heard what he said, he became serious: "Do you want me to go to the Green Gang to bring some brothers over?"
Wei Chen shook his head. Once people came, there would be no place to eat and live. If there were too many people, it would be troublesome. Moreover, he would not know when the enemy would come. Besides, this is a protracted war. It is best to cultivate a group of people who can protect themselves in the village. , to fight at any time, those who fight dare not come.
"Go to the county for me, and send a message to Qi Ji, saying that I am busy these days, so I won't go to the escort agency, and the construction of the port along the river will be carried out according to the plan I discussed with him on the road. , when you come back, help me find two skilled craftsmen in the county to bring them back."
Song Jiang agreed and left.
"Wait." Wei Chen called out, and said, "Bring back some usable weapons, too. I have horses, so I don't need you to walk. I'll go after eating."
Song Jiang scratched his head: "Tsk, I didn't say it earlier, I thought you were in a hurry."
After breakfast, Song Jiang left, Wei Chen went out immediately after, and Su Jiu took care of the seeds he brought back at home.
There are cumin, wheat, sorghum, peanuts, soybeans, sesame, loofah, pumpkin, cucumber, etc., as well as watermelon and grape seeds. Put the flower seeds aside first. Su Jiu opened the more precious wooden box and took out the ones bought in Wanbaoge Medicinal Seeds——
In the morning, I classified them, put them all over the floor, and counted them. There are forty or fifty categories, some of which even Su Jiu doesn't know what they are.
Especially for these medicinal seeds, once opened, they need to be well maintained. Some of them have existed for decades or even hundreds of years, so it is difficult to feed them, and they need to be taken care of carefully.
Su Jiu used the experience of her previous life to buy some ceramic jars, and specially mixed the soil, together with the ashes under the stove and animal manure, to make some nutritious soil.
As soon as Bai Shuang came back, she saw him busy with these things, looked at it strangely, took a hoe to help: "Brother Jiu, can you do this?"
Su Jiu shook her head: "I don't know if I can live." He filled the cleaned and dried jars with soil, and buried a medicinal seed in each jar.
When it was over, there were almost thirty or so jars placed together, and each was watered.
Su Jiu wiped off her sweat: "Aunt Shuang, if these are planted alive, they will be priceless treasures, and they are more cost-effective than the grain we plant on hundreds of acres of land."
Startled, Bai Shuang looked at the bottles and jars: "How valuable is it?"
Su Jiu nodded.
Bai Shuang didn't dare to neglect even more, and after thinking about it, she simply chopped the bamboo back and made a fence around it, so that the chickens would come and peck it.
After finishing this, Su Jiu went to look at the field. The peppers planted years ago had already grown knee-high, and the branches and leaves were plump. This batch of peppers was planted early and survived the severe cold. , It is estimated that it will bloom and bear fruit in a few days.
Chang'an Restaurant has already booked with him the sale of these batches of peppers. Boss Qian Mao has already said that he wants as much as he wants.
However, for the first batch of peppers, it is necessary to save enough seeds and self-use first, and then talk about exporting. When the cabbage and radishes in the field are also being eaten, in order to make room for land, they simply dig out the mature ones and dry them to make dried vegetables or Pickled directly into pickles.
In this case, he had to order a batch of sauerkraut jars. He remembered that there was a small kiln at the entrance of the village, so he went there when he lost something.
"Wei Chen's family are all from our village. I'll sell it to you cheaply. The small ones cost two cents, and the big ones cost ten cents. How about it?"
Su Jiu nodded: "Four for the older ones, five for the younger ones, can you help?"
"deliver!"
Su Jiu paid the money.
This kiln was run by a young couple. Seeing that they were young and honest, they immediately loaded nine pieces of goods into the ox cart and transported them to Su Jiu's house.
Along the way, many people greeted Su Jiu, regardless of whether he could be called by his name, Su Jiu always called him uncle and aunt, there was no mistake.
"Brother Jiu, I heard that you took your natal family over to live here?"
Su Jiu laughed, "Yes."
"That will make your mother-in-law in Wei's house very angry, scolding you for not caring about your mother's family."
Su Jiu looked over and saw that it was Aunt Caihua from the village who was talking, a well-known gossip woman with a big horn, and she was still buzzing at this moment: "By the way, I heard that Bai Shuang is not your mother. What is she so good at?"
Su Jiu stopped and looked at her: "I treat whoever treats me well, so what if it's my mother?"
"This..." Aunt Caihua was stopped for a moment.
In the past, Su Jiu was too lazy to talk about it, but since he dared to take Aunt Shuang and the others over, he was treated differently by these people, so he was incompetent as a son.
Su Jiu: "My own mother, my own brother, I am willing to raise them, and I can afford them, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
"Look at what you said, it's not like I haven't seen this kind of thing before, I think it's new..."
"Then do I have to report to you?" Su Jiu rarely speaks in such a loud voice in front of people: "Did I eat your rice or fucked your ancestral grave, let you meddle in your own business?"
After saying a word, the air became quiet, and even the delivery man couldn't help but look at Su Jiu more, the fair-looking brother was swearing at people, the first impression of this little brother was that his words were gentle And, it seems to be easy to talk.
This sentence "fuck your family's grave" doesn't seem like he can scold it.
But rather...
After Su Jiu finished speaking, she straightened her clothes under the other party's unsightly gaze: "Of course, I'm just making an analogy. I don't mean to really fuck your ancestral grave. Auntie, don't mind." He pointed to his mouth: " It’s all about talking, there’s no way to talk about it, I understand you, and you understand me.”
There was a snort from someone around, and it could be heard that he was mocking Aunt Cauliflower's mouth, and he had to babble about everything, which was really annoying.
After Su Jiu left, Aunt Caihua's face turned red: "I'm not wrong, that's not his mother!"
As far as her emotional intelligence is concerned, the misfortune comes from her mouth without knowing it, and the number of people who have sinned because of it every year can't be counted on their hands. However, because of this, the villagers can see Su Jiu's affection for his stepmother, and fewer people gossiping.
Bai Shuang later learned that Brother Jiu had protected her, and she was deeply moved. Life is for her to see, and if others want to say it, let them say it!
The family wanted to build a bigger house, so Wei Chen went out early in the morning to find someone to measure the size, and then expanded along their house to the open space next to it.
In the afternoon, Song Jiang came back and brought back two master craftsmen. Wei Chen took them to inspect the surrounding open space. Several people discussed around the house before turning back and sitting on the stone bench in the yard for an in-depth discussion.
Su Jiu poured tea, set up a small bench and sat on the sidelines to listen.
It is said that they want to use the open space behind and beside their house to build a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits!
The master scribbled and corrected the blueprint for a while, and then showed it to Wei Chen: "Mr. Wei, how would you like to take a look at this sketch? They are the most popular gardens and courtyards nowadays, with beautiful scenery and more suitable for living."
Wei Chen took a look at it, then turned his head and waved to Su Jiu: "Come here."
Su Jiu moved the small bench closer, and Wei Chen handed him the blueprint: "Look, do you like it?"
Su Jiu put the picture between her legs, studied it carefully, and looked at it for a while. She didn't know whether it was because he understood the reason or the other party's drawing skills needed to be improved. Su Jiu really didn't understand it, so she had to rely on Wei Chen to explain it to him.
"Here is where we live now. To the right, it is widened to about twice the width. The courtyard wall is repaired outside. Inside is a courtyard. Further inside, here is a pond and rockery, and here is a corridor, which is deep inside. ..."
After he explained it this way, Su Jiu could understand it, and then took it to look at it for himself. After looking at it for a while, he raised his head: "Is there no need for a rockery pond? Divide one piece into two drying fields on the left and right."
The master took a look: "Well, the overall aesthetics..."
Su Jiu: "What do you want to be beautiful when you live in the mountains? When you look up, you can see the sky, on the left and right are trees, and behind you are the mountains. Master, why don't you draw a more practical house?"
"This..." The master glanced at Wei Chen: "Okay then, I'll draw it with Mr. Xiao..."
Another half an hour passed, and the master handed it to Su Jiu.
"This time the drawing is simpler, fully considering the surrounding environment. It is divided into two large courtyards at the front and back, and four small courtyards at the left and right. The front and back are aligned, spacious and grand, and the space can be used to a greater extent."
Su Jiu thinks this blueprint is not bad, it is relatively symmetrical in all directions, it is well-lit and sturdy, and the empty yard in the middle can be used to dry some grains.
The master said: "The disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high, and the materials needed are twice as much as the drawing just now."
As long as Su Jiu likes it, Wei Chen is fine, so the two masters can only look at Su Jiu to make a decision.
Su Jiu: "How long did it take to repair the house?"
"It depends on the number of workers you can supply."
Most of the rural houses are repaired by calling the villagers to help and pay the workers for food. It is winter and most people are at home during the slack season. It is not difficult to find someone to help. Of course, you can also go outside to find workers, but only If it's travel expenses, it's not worth it.
If you can get four NO.50 people together, you can build a regular building in three months.
Wei Chen nodded: "Okay, just build according to this blueprint, complete the blueprint as soon as possible and start construction, and report the material cost and all expenses to me."
After paying the deposit, even the two masters themselves didn't expect the matter to be discussed so quickly, so they hurried back to catch up with the work with the dimensions, and promised to draw the drawings in three days, and at the latest five days to start work——
The news that Wei Chen's family was going to build a house quickly spread, causing big waves in the village.
The discussion in the village was crazy.
"It is said that there will be four NO.50 people! What a big house it needs to be built!"
"Then hurry up, my family is going to sign up too. I've been idle all winter, and I can't get rid of the pot. I finally found something to do!"
"Who is familiar with Wei Chen's family? Give me one..."
Just two days after this incident broke out in the village, it was reported that Wei Chen had acquired another piece of mountain land, about [-] mu of land.
"He might as well buy the mountain!"
"This Wei Chen, I really didn't expect him to be so capable!"
"I heard that he is still doing business in the county, has friends with big bosses, and knows a lot of people!"
"real or fake?"
"Can there be a fake? Someone saw a dozen brothers following him with his own eyes!"
"God……"
Now whoever mentions Wei Chen in Murakami, it's not because he praises him again and again, thinking that no one will think of that stupid and stupid person back then.
In the eyes of the villagers, Wei Chen is now a big business man in the city. Even the government officials dare not offend him easily. He has foresight and ability. Even if you want to make friends, he might not even talk to you!
Just this time when Wei Chen said that he wanted to repair the house, almost half of the people in the village rushed to show up in front of him, hoping to get acquainted, so that he could take care of him in the future.
Suddenly, Su Jiu and Wei Chen became the favorites in the village to make friends with.
But Su Jiu hid at home every day either to study the seeds of a place, or to his pile of bottles and cans. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out, but the disturbance became a bit big in the past two days, and Wei Chen didn't dare to let him go out to show his face. Afraid of being bumped in the stomach by someone with no seriousness.
He was happy and peaceful, with Bai Shuang in the house and Wei Chen outside, he had nothing to worry about, and he was able to do his own thing.
Later in the day, Su Jiu brought a tray of refreshments into Su Che's room. Spring is approaching. During this period of time, Su Che worked overtime to review, and no one in the room dared to disturb him. Now he is the key protected animal at home!
"Still reading, I made you some snacks?" Su Jiu stepped forward and put the plate by his table, then buried her head to look at the Chinese characters on Su Che's book, it means that Su Jiu felt dizzy after seeing these, So he immediately looked away.
"Thank you brother." Su Che didn't doubt at all, picked up the snacks and ate them. After finishing the whole plate, he even picked up all the crumbs in the bowl and ate them.
After eating, he saw his brother pull up a stool and sit down, and just looked at him in silence.
Su Che looked a little embarrassed, touched his face: "What's wrong?"
Su Jiu shook her head: "You read your book, and I will sit down."
Su Che felt that his brother was a bit weird, but he just nodded, and felt that his brother's gaze behind his back was a bit sharp.
The book was a little hard to read, Su Che flipped through it idly, and suddenly felt a little hot, and couldn't sit on the stool. The irritability in his heart was inexplicable, he got up suddenly, and poured a glass of water to drink.
In fact, Su Jiu has been looking at Su Che all the time, thinking that the effect of the medicine should be coming, he asked Su Che: "How do you feel?"
Su Che tugged at his neckline irritably: "What's the matter?"
"Has the exhaustion been swept away, the energy is full, and the urge to keep learning?"
The veins on Su Che's forehead are all twitching. He just feels that he has inexhaustible strength in his body, and the excitement in his head is abnormal. He can't wait to run out and sing, and chop people on the street with a machete!
Now he didn't understand what happened, so he was living in vain. He tried his best to shake his unconscious head, and calmed down: "Brother, what did you eat for me?"
"My homemade refreshing pills have the effect of refreshing the mind and eliminating fatigue."
It sounds good, Su Che pointed to himself: "Then someone else used it, is it also in my hyperactive state?"
Su Jiu shook her head: "You are the first to use it."
Su Che's eyes widened: "Brother, you are really my big brother, you take my little brother to test the medicine?"
In fact, it is not the case. It is really necessary to refine this kind of pills. The medicinal materials needed are very precious. Others, Su Jiu is still reluctant to use them, but looking at Su Che's state now, it is obvious that the medicinal effects are too much——
That day, Su Che was full of energy. He ran around the yard thirty times, and sang to the sky with passion. It was not until the evening that he exhausted his energy and lay on the bed sleeping upside down.
Not to mention, I was so excited once during the day, and I had no dreams all night, and I slept very comfortably.
Wei Chen came back that night to learn about this, and called Su Jiu aside to scold him. At that time, Su Jiu also knew that her medicine was too effective and backfired, so she wanted to mediate.
"It's okay to mix medicine, but before this kind of medicine is proven, it's not allowed to be used by others!" Wei Chen preached.
Su Jiu still wanted to quibble: "I knew there would be no major problems..."
"Isn't this problem big enough?" Wei Chen scolded, "If you do something wrong, you have to listen to it and correct it. It's you who I can't touch you at this time. If it's normal..."
He only dared to say something serious when Su Jiu knew he was wrong. If it was normal, the cat would pass by without making trouble, what else could it be?
Li Chong sat on the stool drinking tea and eating melon seeds, while asking Wei Chen about the situation on the way out this time.
Wei Chen can't talk much, and he doesn't like to brag. Song Jiang can brag vigorously. He talked over and over about the encounter with the water bandits on the boat at that time. Fascinated.
Su Che was reading a book in the room, but now he couldn't sit still, so he threw away the book and set up a stool to come out and listen to the story.

As soon as Bai Shuang came back, she saw him busy with these things, looked at it strangely, took a hoe to help: "Brother Jiu, can you do this?"
Su Jiu shook her head: "I don't know if I can live." He filled the cleaned and dried jars with soil, and buried a medicinal seed in each jar.
When it was over, there were almost thirty or so jars placed together, and each was watered.
Su Jiu wiped off her sweat: "Aunt Shuang, if these are planted alive, they will be priceless treasures, and they are more cost-effective than the grain we plant on hundreds of acres of land."
Startled, Bai Shuang looked at the bottles and jars: "How valuable is it?"
Su Jiu nodded.
Bai Shuang didn't dare to neglect even more, and after thinking about it, she simply chopped the bamboo back and made a fence around it, so that the chickens would come and peck it.
After finishing this, Su Jiu went to look at the field. The peppers planted years ago had already grown knee-high, and the branches and leaves were plump. This batch of peppers was planted early and survived the severe cold. , It is estimated that it will bloom and bear fruit in a few days.
Chang'an Restaurant has already booked with him the sale of these batches of peppers. Boss Qian Mao has already said that he wants as much as he wants.
However, for the first batch of peppers, it is necessary to save enough seeds and self-use first, and then talk about exporting. When the cabbage and radishes in the field are also being eaten, in order to make room for land, they simply dig out the mature ones and dry them to make dried vegetables or Pickled directly into pickles.
In this case, he had to order a batch of sauerkraut jars. He remembered that there was a small kiln at the entrance of the village, so he went there when he lost something.
"Wei Chen's family are all from our village. I'll sell it to you cheaply. The small ones cost two cents, and the big ones cost ten cents. How about it?"
Su Jiu nodded: "Four for the older ones, five for the younger ones, can you help?"
"deliver!"
Su Jiu paid the money.
This kiln was run by a young couple. Seeing that they were young and honest, they immediately loaded nine pieces of goods into the ox cart and transported them to Su Jiu's house.
Along the way, many people greeted Su Jiu, regardless of whether he could be called by his name, Su Jiu always called him uncle and aunt, there was no mistake.
"Brother Jiu, I heard that you took your natal family over to live here?"
Su Jiu laughed, "Yes."
"That will make your mother-in-law in Wei's house very angry, scolding you for not caring about your mother's family."
Su Jiu looked over and saw that it was Aunt Caihua from the village who was talking, a well-known gossip woman with a big horn, and she was still buzzing at this moment: "By the way, I heard that Bai Shuang is not your mother. What is she so good at?"
Su Jiu stopped and looked at her: "I treat whoever treats me well, so what if it's my mother?"
"This..." Aunt Caihua was stopped for a moment.
In the past, Su Jiu was too lazy to talk about it, but since he dared to take Aunt Shuang and the others over, he was treated differently by these people, so he was incompetent as a son.
Su Jiu: "My own mother, my own brother, I am willing to raise them, and I can afford them, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
"Look at what you said, it's not like I haven't seen this kind of thing before, I think it's new..."
"Then do I have to report to you?" Su Jiu rarely speaks in such a loud voice in front of people: "Did I eat your rice or fucked your ancestral grave, let you meddle in your own business?"
After saying a word, the air became quiet, and even the delivery man couldn't help but look at Su Jiu more, the fair-looking brother was swearing at people, the first impression of this little brother was that his words were gentle And, it seems to be easy to talk.
This sentence "fuck your family's grave" doesn't seem like he can scold it.
But rather...
After Su Jiu finished speaking, she straightened her clothes under the other party's unsightly gaze: "Of course, I'm just making an analogy. I don't mean to really fuck your ancestral grave. Auntie, don't mind." He pointed to his mouth: " It’s all about talking, there’s no way to talk about it, I understand you, and you understand me.”
There was a snort from someone around, and it could be heard that he was mocking Aunt Cauliflower's mouth, and he had to babble about everything, which was really annoying.
After Su Jiu left, Aunt Caihua's face turned red: "I'm not wrong, that's not his mother!"
As far as her emotional intelligence is concerned, the misfortune comes from her mouth without knowing it, and the number of people who have sinned because of it every year can't be counted on their hands. However, because of this, the villagers can see Su Jiu's affection for his stepmother, and fewer people gossiping.
Bai Shuang later learned that Brother Jiu had protected her, and she was deeply moved. Life is for her to see, and if others want to say it, let them say it!
The family wanted to build a bigger house, so Wei Chen went out early in the morning to find someone to measure the size, and then expanded along their house to the open space next to it.
In the afternoon, Song Jiang came back and brought back two master craftsmen. Wei Chen took them to inspect the surrounding open space. Several people discussed around the house before turning back and sitting on the stone bench in the yard for an in-depth discussion.
Su Jiu poured tea, set up a small bench and sat on the sidelines to listen.
It is said that they want to use the open space behind and beside their house to build a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits!
The master scribbled and corrected the blueprint for a while, and then showed it to Wei Chen: "Mr. Wei, how would you like to take a look at this sketch? They are the most popular gardens and courtyards nowadays, with beautiful scenery and more suitable for living."
Wei Chen took a look at it, then turned his head and waved to Su Jiu: "Come here."
Su Jiu moved the small bench closer, and Wei Chen handed him the blueprint: "Look, do you like it?"
Su Jiu put the picture between her legs, studied it carefully, and looked at it for a while. She didn't know whether it was because he understood the reason or the other party's drawing skills needed to be improved. Su Jiu really didn't understand it, so she had to rely on Wei Chen to explain it to him.
"Here is where we live now. To the right, it is widened to about twice the width. The courtyard wall is repaired outside. Inside is a courtyard. Further inside, here is a pond and rockery, and here is a corridor, which is deep inside. ..."
After he explained it this way, Su Jiu could understand it, and then took it to look at it for himself. After looking at it for a while, he raised his head: "Is there no need for a rockery pond? Divide one piece into two drying fields on the left and right."
The master took a look: "Well, the overall aesthetics..."
Su Jiu: "What do you want to be beautiful when you live in the mountains? When you look up, you can see the sky, on the left and right are trees, and behind you are the mountains. Master, why don't you draw a more practical house?"
"This..." The master glanced at Wei Chen: "Okay then, I'll draw it with Mr. Xiao..."
Another half an hour passed, and the master handed it to Su Jiu.
"This time the drawing is simpler, fully considering the surrounding environment. It is divided into two large courtyards at the front and back, and four small courtyards at the left and right. The front and back are aligned, spacious and grand, and the space can be used to a greater extent."
Su Jiu thinks this blueprint is not bad, it is relatively symmetrical in all directions, it is well-lit and sturdy, and the empty yard in the middle can be used to dry some grains.
The master said: "The disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high, and the materials needed are twice as much as the drawing just now."
As long as Su Jiu likes it, Wei Chen is fine, so the two masters can only look at Su Jiu to make a decision.
Su Jiu: "How long did it take to repair the house?"
"It depends on the number of workers you can supply."
Most of the rural houses are repaired by calling the villagers to help and pay the workers for food. It is winter and most people are at home during the slack season. It is not difficult to find someone to help. Of course, you can also go outside to find workers, but only If it's travel expenses, it's not worth it.
If you can get four NO.50 people together, you can build a regular building in three months.
Wei Chen nodded: "Okay, just build according to this blueprint, complete the blueprint as soon as possible and start construction, and report the material cost and all expenses to me."
After paying the deposit, even the two masters themselves didn't expect the matter to be discussed so quickly, so they hurried back to catch up with the work with the dimensions, and promised to draw the drawings in three days, and at the latest five days to start work——
The news that Wei Chen's family was going to build a house quickly spread, causing big waves in the village.
The discussion in the village was crazy.
"It is said that there will be four NO.50 people! What a big house it needs to be built!"
"Then hurry up, my family is going to sign up too. I've been idle all winter, and I can't get rid of the pot. I finally found something to do!"
"Who is familiar with Wei Chen's family? Give me one..."
Just two days after this incident broke out in the village, it was reported that Wei Chen had acquired another piece of mountain land, about [-] mu of land.
"He might as well buy the mountain!"
"This Wei Chen, I really didn't expect him to be so capable!"
"I heard that he is still doing business in the county, has friends with big bosses, and knows a lot of people!"
"real or fake?"
"Can there be a fake? Someone saw a dozen brothers following him with his own eyes!"
"God……"
Now whoever mentions Wei Chen in Murakami, it's not because he praises him again and again, thinking that no one will think of that stupid and stupid person back then.
In the eyes of the villagers, Wei Chen is now a big business man in the city. Even the government officials dare not offend him easily. He has foresight and ability. Even if you want to make friends, he might not even talk to you!
Just this time when Wei Chen said that he wanted to repair the house, almost half of the people in the village rushed to show up in front of him, hoping to get acquainted, so that he could take care of him in the future.
Suddenly, Su Jiu and Wei Chen became the favorites in the village to make friends with.
But Su Jiu hid at home every day either to study the seeds of a place, or to his pile of bottles and cans. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out, but the disturbance became a bit big in the past two days, and Wei Chen didn't dare to let him go out to show his face. Afraid of being bumped in the stomach by someone with no seriousness.
He was happy and peaceful, with Bai Shuang in the house and Wei Chen outside, he had nothing to worry about, and he was able to do his own thing.
Later in the day, Su Jiu brought a tray of refreshments into Su Che's room. Spring is approaching. During this period of time, Su Che worked overtime to review, and no one in the room dared to disturb him. Now he is the key protected animal at home!
"Still reading, I made you some snacks?" Su Jiu stepped forward and put the plate by his table, then buried her head to look at the Chinese characters on Su Che's book, it means that Su Jiu felt dizzy after seeing these, So he immediately looked away.
"Thank you brother." Su Che didn't doubt at all, picked up the snacks and ate them. After finishing the whole plate, he even picked up all the crumbs in the bowl and ate them.
After eating, he saw his brother pull up a stool and sit down, and just looked at him in silence.
Su Che looked a little embarrassed, touched his face: "What's wrong?"
Su Jiu shook her head: "You read your book, and I will sit down."
Su Che felt that his brother was a bit weird, but he just nodded, and felt that his brother's gaze behind his back was a bit sharp.
The book was a little hard to read, Su Che flipped through it idly, and suddenly felt a little hot, and couldn't sit on the stool. The irritability in his heart was inexplicable, he got up suddenly, and poured a glass of water to drink.
In fact, Su Jiu has been looking at Su Che all the time, thinking that the effect of the medicine should be coming, he asked Su Che: "How do you feel?"
Su Che tugged at his neckline irritably: "What's the matter?"
"Has the exhaustion been swept away, the energy is full, and the urge to keep learning?"
The veins on Su Che's forehead are all twitching. He just feels that he has inexhaustible strength in his body, and the excitement in his head is abnormal. He can't wait to run out and sing, and chop people on the street with a machete!
Now he didn't understand what happened, so he was living in vain. He tried his best to shake his unconscious head, and calmed down: "Brother, what did you eat for me?"
"My homemade refreshing pills have the effect of refreshing the mind and eliminating fatigue."
It sounds good, Su Che pointed to himself: "Then someone else used it, is it also in my hyperactive state?"
Su Jiu shook her head: "You are the first to use it."
Su Che's eyes widened: "Brother, you are really my big brother, you take my little brother to test the medicine?"
In fact, it is not the case. It is really necessary to refine this kind of pills. The medicinal materials needed are very precious. Others, Su Jiu is still reluctant to use them, but looking at Su Che's state now, it is obvious that the medicinal effects are too much——
That day, Su Che was full of energy. He ran around the yard thirty times, and sang to the sky with passion. It was not until the evening that he exhausted his energy and lay on the bed sleeping upside down.
Not to mention, I was so excited once during the day, and I had no dreams all night, and I slept very comfortably.
Wei Chen came back that night to learn about this, and called Su Jiu aside to scold him. At that time, Su Jiu also knew that her medicine was too effective and backfired, so she wanted to mediate.
"It's okay to mix medicine, but before this kind of medicine is proven, it's not allowed to be used by others!" Wei Chen preached.
Su Jiu still wanted to quibble: "I knew there would be no major problems..."
"Isn't this problem big enough?" Wei Chen scolded, "If you do something wrong, you have to listen to it and correct it. It's you who I can't touch you at this time. If it's normal..."
He only dared to say something serious when Su Jiu knew he was wrong. If it was normal, the cat would pass by without making trouble, what else could it be?
