Chapter 1037: Marriage matters are in the mother’s hands
Now that he has decided to build a house, Ye Yuran naturally will not let his sons waste time.
When they came back from their parents' homes with their respective wives, they were immediately put to work. First, they said hello to Master Qin and asked him to spare time after the new year to help them design how to build the house;
The previous method was to inquire where cheaper building materials could be found; secondly, one had to talk to a familiar carpenter and ask him to help with furniture suggestions...
After a busy life, it was almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Zhujia Village was very lively.
Villages from all over the country even formed a lion dance team and walked through villages and alleys, which was loved by both adults and children.
"Hasn't this lion dance disappeared for many years? Hahahaha..." An old woman happily said to the people around her, "I feel like I haven't seen it for a long time."
"That's right. Only when the year is good can everyone have time to do this. I heard that this year's project is thanks to Zhujia Village."
When the aunt heard this, she laughed: "That's right. If Zhujiacun hadn't taken the lead to make everyone's life easier, who would have done this? Hey, how many quotas have been allocated for water and fertilizer in your village this year?"
"Not much, just a little more than last year. The main reason is that the compost and the ditch in our village have not been completed yet. Zhujia Village does not allow planting, fearing that the fertilizer will not be good and the water will not be able to keep up, and it will be ruined.
food."
When she mentioned this, the aunt also sighed: "Hey, our village is the same. I really envy Zhujia Village. I heard that last winter they built the whole village's water canals and compost, which is enough. It seems that their village
Today we are preparing to plant paddy fields in the whole village."
"Yeah! I heard about it too. They also set up a primary school to send the children in the village to study. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... These days, it's really getting better and better. I don't know when it will be my turn.
we."
"Who knows? Zhu Xiucai helped design the water canal in their village, but Zhu Xiucai will go back to study in a few days. How can he have time to help us do this? This matter is really annoying."
…
As soon as the Lantern Festival ended, Zhu Qi didn't stay at home for long before he packed up his luggage and went back to the state with Zhu San to study.
This time, he was in a particularly good mood, because he knew that when he came back at the end of the year, his brothers would be able to live in new houses, hahaha...
"Third brother, don't be sad!"
Zhu Qi said this unexpectedly, and Zhu San was a little confused: "Ah? What?"
"Although the eldest brother, the second brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother have all built houses, and you haven't built one yet, I will definitely study hard. When the time comes, I will have memorized many, many books, and I can come back and be a teacher.
When I become a husband, I will also have money. I will save the money and build a house for you..." Zhu Qi looked serious.
Zhu San didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, if I want to build it myself, why do I need you to build it for me? It's up to you to save money and build one for yourself."
"Hehehe... Anyway, I live with my third brother, it doesn't matter if we build it or not."
"Okay, if you don't want to live alone, third brother, I won't mind if you live with me. I'm just afraid that you will marry a wife and don't want me anymore."
Zhu Qi stuck out his tongue: "I don't want to marry a wife. In the past, everyone thought I was stupid, saying that I couldn't find a wife. They didn't want to marry me, and I didn't want to marry them."
"Don't worry, you are a scholar now, and there are many people who want to marry you. But your marriage is in the hands of your mother, and no one can interfere until your mother nods." Zhu San was still a little worried that Zhu Qi would be confused outside.
, reminded me, "Even you can't do it, you understand?"
"I know. Anyway, whoever asks me, I will ask him to find my mother."
Zhu San wanted to laugh: "Okay."
"What about you, third brother? When are you going to ask for a wife?" Zhu Qi thought about it again. He is young and doesn't need to get married yet, but third brother is not young, right?
After the death of the third sister-in-law, the third brother has been silent. Does he not plan to get married?
"I'm not in a hurry, let's wait a few years." For some reason, a person appeared in Zhu San's mind.
But he quickly put it behind him because he knew that he was not worthy of them at all.
"Okay, let's give it a few years. Let me pick a good one for you then." Zhu Qi didn't quite understand the use of a wife. Seeing that his third brother was not in a hurry to marry him, he quickly forgot about it.
back.
In his opinion, whether the wife is a wife or not is not as important as the new house built by the family.
On the other side, while Zhu San and Zhu Qi were on their way, Master Qin, who had received the assignment, paid a visit to Old Man Zhu's house.
After all, if he wants to help others design a house, he always has to ask them what they want to build, what kind of house they want to build, and what their approximate budget is.
Because we just worked together last time, we are all acquaintances, and there are not so many polite words.
Zhu Da and Zhu Er didn't have any ideas. They thought Ye Yuran's yard was very good and wanted to build it according to it. Zhu Si and Zhu Wu had some ideas, but they also thought Ye Yuran's yard was good and could be used.
for reference.
The rest is that they don't want the families to be too far apart. They just live separately, not separate families. They should be closer to each other for easier care.
"Yes, that's what we mean too." Zhu Si nodded, "I just want to build it next to my mother's yard, closer."
"I also want to be closer," Zhu Wu rushed to say. "It would be best if my mother shouts in the yard, so I can hear her."
Master Qin had long heard about the arrangement of Old Man Zhu’s family, but he never expected that Aunt Zhu’s sons would be so filial despite her “bad reputation”.
But think about it, if the son is not filial and the family is not united, how can Mr. Zhu’s family live as prosperously as they do now?
There are six or seven sons in a row, and there are four in front of me. They all want to build new houses, and they are built together. If you don’t have the money, can you afford it?
And they didn't just build randomly, like others, just hire a builder who knew how to build a house. Instead, they hired a more professional Ziren like him. With such a big deal, you know how much their family has built in the past few years.
Make more money.
"It's not a problem to build them together, but..." Master Qin said, "You guys have surrounded your mother's house, so she has to live in the middle."
He gestured, indicating that everyone wanted to be closest to Aunt Zhu's yard. The middle yard might be surrounded, and it would be inconvenient for Aunt Zhu to get in and out.
Moreover, given the current situation of the Zhu family, it is not appropriate to build it this way.
There are only four brothers here now, but don’t they still have a third brother and a seventh brother? In the future, they will not build it? This position must be reserved, right?
"Oh, by the way, don't you have a sixth child in your family? Why didn't I hear you mention it?" Master Qin counted the rankings of the Zhu family and realized something was wrong.
