Chapter 937: The selfish and vain female supporting role (33)

Xu's mother glanced at the man: "Even if it only costs 150,000 yuan, our family can't afford it now. All the money from selling cherries has been paid into the account, and without spending a penny, it's just over 140,000 yuan, and we still owe a little more than 150,000 yuan." Woolen cloth."

Originally, I thought this was a lot. After all, in previous years, I could only earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan if I sold it to an acquirer. It would be good if it could reach 80,000, but 90,000 would be a very high price.

This year, thanks to Yinyinlas sales in Anshi and the reception of several more tourist groups, the number has almost doubled.

But compared with the cost of building a house, this amount of money does not seem to be much.

"I still have some money here." Xu Yin looked at her account balance to her parents. "It's enough to build a house. Don't worry about electrical appliances and furniture. I'll have some money coming to my account next month. Just help me with sales." Sister Chen from Cherry, she asked me to invest in her barbecue restaurant, and I can get a dividend every quarter. It may not be a lot, but I think it is still enough to get 10,000 yuan a month, which will be used to buy home appliances and furniture. Anyway, we live on our own. , just add it slowly. You can take grandpa back after the Chinese New Year."

She did not tell her parents about some unfriendly rumors she heard in her brother-in-law's neighborhood.

Fortunately, my brother-in-law's mother-in-law is a kind person and does not take these words seriously, but in the long run, there is no guarantee that she will not feel uncomfortable in her heart.

Grandpa Xu rarely goes out because of his inconvenient legs and feet, but what if he goes downstairs one day and hears these rumors?

In the original article, he was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital. Now if it were her, she would definitely not be angry with the old man. But I'm afraid that the plot is too strong and I will turn back inadvertently.

As for taking the old man over now...the old house is so damp, which will only aggravate his rheumatism.

Anyway, there is a plan to build a new house, but its just a matter of time, so its better to build it while the farm is slack.

The couple looked at each other in confusion: "How about... building it?"

"build!"

After the family of three made up their minds, they moved the yellow sand and cement into the main room and put them outside to avoid getting wet if it rained.

Some villagers had an early dinner and wandered over to chat with Mr. Xu.

Ever since Xu Yin helped the villagers sell big cherries to Anshi, Xus fathers popularity has improved a lot. People always come to chat with him after dinner every day.

I came over today and saw that the three members of the Xu family had not had dinner yet and were carrying cement and sandbags into the house. I asked casually: "Mingkang, are your family planning to build a house?"

Xu's father couldn't hide his joy and said with a naive smile: "No, I'm going to tear it down and replace it."

There are no secrets in a small town, let alone a small mountain village with less than a hundred households.

Within two days, the news spread throughout the village that the Xu family had made money selling cherries and was planning to build a new house.

However, everyone thought they were building bungalows. The families who planted other fruit trees in the village had built houses one after another a few years ago, expanding them and building them again and again.

But most of them are bungalows. Except for the main roof which is covered with tiles, the roof of the wing room is directly covered with cement slabs as a balcony to facilitate the autumn sun.

Only a few families have built buildings. The most impressive one is the village chief's family. His five sons have built a two-story building with six rooms. The old couple and their five sons have one room, with bedrooms upstairs and living rooms downstairs. , even if they are separated, they still live together, discuss things with each other, and are a harmonious big family.

Wang Cuihua was extremely envious of such a big house. Every time she passed by the village chief's house, she would take a few more glances.

In fact, she saved a sum of money in her hand, amounting to more than 100,000 yuan. But my son has not yet married a wife. I heard that the bride price has increased again in the past two years. I am worried that I will not be able to pay the bride price after building a house. Wouldnt this delay my sons life-long event?

Fortunately, although her house is not a building, it is a brick house renovated eight years ago with red bricks and white walls, which is quite respectable in the village.

Unlike Xu Mingkang's family, they still live in an old house built in the 1980s. The floor is still mud; the windows are not double-glazed windows that are transparent to the atmosphere, but old-fashioned wooden lattice windows. Even if glass is installed, it is not enough. It's bright and open; you can see the beams and tiles when you look up.

Youre just building a house now, do you still think its glorious? Wang Cuihua came back from the private land with a vegetable basket in her arms and complained to her husband, Such a large homestead was wasted. She was jealous of Xu Mingkangs homestead and fantasized more than once that it would be her own homestead. How nice it would be.

Its a pity that when she got married, Xu Mingkangs father and her father-in-law had already separated.

Her father-in-law asked for the old house at the entrance of the village, and Xu Mingkang's father moved to a newly designated homestead at the foot of the mountain. Because of the remote location, there was not a single family there at the time. The village cadre compensated him and allocated an extra piece of land for him.

Although it is far from the entrance of the village, it is close to the back mountain. Several families have been added one after another around it. They are not deserted and spacious. It is much more comfortable than the narrow courtyard where her house is crowded.

"If that piece of homestead land were replaced by my home, I would build a few more houses, build a circle of courtyard walls to surround the land, raise more chickens, and pick them up to sell in the city during the Chinese New Year. Shanshan said, now in the city Chickens and ducks raised by farmers are very popular, and the prices are extremely high."

"You are not Mingkang's wife, how do you know that his house only has three rooms? Maybe it will be expanded." Xu Mingfu put down his pipe and rolled up the tobacco leaves.

Will his house be expanded? Impossible! Wang Cuihua was furious when she heard this.

My own family only has three main rooms. If Xu Mingkangs family builds four, wouldnt it exceed their own? I feel unhappy when I think about my family being overshadowed by poor relatives.

At most we can build one small wing, not four! By the way, why hasnt old man Xu come back yet? Do you really plan to retire at Mingruis house?

"Why do you care so much about other people's families? It's not your father-in-law, so it's not your turn to take care of him in old age."

"Let me ask." Wang Cuihua pouted, "The two brothers have a good relationship. If we were the eldest, let your father-in-law live with your brother. If you can live with me for the first half of the year, I, Wang Cuihua, will write my name upside down."

Xu Mingfu's face turned red, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "The name Huacui King doesn't sound good either."

"roll!"

Just when everyone in the village thought that Xu Yin's family was going to build three brick bungalows on the original foundation, Xu Yin pulled back all the building materials needed to build the house.

In the morning I took the cherries to Anshi, and in the evening I took the building materials home, one by one like ants moving.

In the house where bagged building materials are piled, naked cement bricks, stones, stones, etc. are piled in the open space next to the house.

The open space is also her homestead.

This time, the house needs to be expanded from the original three rooms to four rooms, with a depth of 12 meters. The foundation needs to be expanded a lot. Xu Yin gradually transplanted the fruit trees next to the house to the edge of the homestead. .

According to Xu's father's opinion, the fruits produced by these fruit trees are sour and astringent, and they are not worth eating. If they are kept, they still take up space. So they can just be cut down. Why bother transplanting them?

But Xu Yin planned to keep the graft.

Just because it doesnt taste good now doesnt mean it wont taste good after grafting. If you cut it off, it will really disappear.

Taking time to pick the fruits from the trees, the big ones are made into fruit wine, and the small ones are made into preserves.

By the way, doesnt she have a fruit dryer? You can bake the fruit into dried slices and make tea for drinking.

It is sour when eaten raw, but when dried and made into tea, it has a slightly sour taste and is more fragrant and palatable. In this way, it is not a waste.
