《Apocalypse in Ancient Life》Chapter 49
Advertisement
The new house has been bustlingly being repaired, and the workers also want to finish the house before the spring planting and go back to farming, so they are all working hard.
Everyone worked so hard, and Pei Shaorong looked very satisfied. Every time it came time to eat pork, he would prepare more, and occasionally add a few bottles of soju for everyone. The man who eats and works is full of motivation.
A few days before the spring planting, the new house was finally completed. From the outside, it was just a very ordinary blue brick house, but the fence and earth wall of the yard became a green brick protective wall.
But when you walk into the house, it is absolutely amazing. Most of the layout and furniture are in the style here, but some small things have been changed.
First of all, the ground of the whole house is all covered with bluestone floors like the yard in the town. Whether it is the visual effect or the tactile effect of stepping on it, it is definitely not comparable to the soil of ordinary farmhouses.
The second is the bedroom. On the bluestone floor, Pei Shaorong also added a layer of wooden floor, which everyone felt very novel.
Many workers think that they will do the same when building their own houses in the future. Anyway, the wood for the floor can be chopped up in the mountains.
There are also toilets and bathrooms. Pei Shaorong also carefully designed and repaired them. He is determined not to dig a hole and build a shed in ancient times. It is too torturous!
Because Pei Shaorong was willing to spend money, most of the houses were repaired with blue bricks and boulders, and the blue bricks here were actually cut out of stones, not burned.
There are few family members, and Pei Shaorong's house is not too big. There are three bedrooms and a large living room, one for adults, one for future dolls, and one reserved guest room to sometimes entertain guests.
In addition, there is the kitchen, toilet, bathroom, and a small utility room. As for the place to put food and other things, we can use the old house and cellar where we live now.
The new house is basically repaired, just wait for a period of time to dry before moving the remaining furniture items in, and you can live in it.
This house repair is indeed a big expense, especially since Pei Shaorong has picked up everything, the money is even more expensive than expected.
According to the village, the cost of building a brick and tile house is about fifty taels, but when it comes to Pei's house, it is not the same number at all...
First of all, it is the blue brick. Usually people spend the most money to build a house. On top of blue bricks, but people just build a house, and most of the supporting pillars inside are replaced by wood, and it will cost at most twenty taels.
But when he got to Pei's house, it was completely doubled. There was no way. Who told him to build a protective wall, it cost him forty taels of silver!
In addition to the blue bricks, the other cost of repairing the Pei's house is the anti-theft iron teeth on the gate and the protective wall. You must know that the iron here is not cheap, but Pei Shaorong also replaced all the doors of the house with iron...
and the house The roof tiles, the building of the furniture in the house, the wages of the workers, the cost of providing food for everyone during the work period, etc. added up. The Pei family spent a total of more than one hundred taels for the repair of the house.

These silvers are not much for the Pei family now, it is definitely a trivial matter, but for the villagers, it is a big number.
Fortunately, everyone guessed that the Pei family spent a lot of money on repairing the house, but they didn't know the exact number, otherwise the Pei family would definitely become the focus of the village!
But even so, Pei Shaorong's newly built house has become a hot topic in the village. Now no one dares to say that he is poor, and now the Pei family is also a wealthy family with houses and fields.
Because the house repaired this time is really big and rich, many people in the village have recently started wandering in front of Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao.
He asked how much his family had earned by going to Yueyang City this time. The intention to fight Qiufeng was too obvious. Even Father Mo came to the door and wanted to know the results of their business.
Pei Shaorong also knew that the house he built would definitely become the focus of everyone's hot discussion and was marked with the word 'rich'.
But this house is really a big deal, and it can't be done casually, so Pei Shaorong has also prepared a way to deal with people who come to inquire from the village, pretending to be stupid and poor!
Only you and Bao know how much money they make. As long as they don't tell them, who knows how much they make?
The villagers inquired about what business they had done in Yueyang City, and Pei Shaorong did not hide it. Some villagers had seen their preserved hawthorn fruit before.
If these people are willing to invest money and risk losing money to make preserved fruit, he has no problem.
He can't guarantee whether he will make a profit or a loss at this time, but to buy such a large investment in sugar, I believe that few in the village will be willing... In the
next few days, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao will In front of people, they always showed that the money they had just earned was spent, and that they would be worried again in the future, which convinced many villagers.
It is reasonable to earn money to buy farmland and repair the house, and other people in the village will do the same. After all, the men of Pei's family moved from outside, but they didn't even have farmland at the beginning. Now they have become a family and married a husband. Naturally It's to set up the day.
Moreover, many villagers also reacted when they remembered what Pei Shaorong looked like when he first came. Although everyone kept talking about the poor man of the Pei family at that time, they never said that they were poor from beginning to end, and they usually wore top-notch clothes. Good cotton clothes
Let's look at the body and appearance of others. It doesn't look like a poor person, and the 'different' temperament doesn't look like someone from a poor family at all!
No matter what everyone thinks or looks at, when the spring seeds arrive, everyone has no time to gossip and gossip, and all their energy is put on farming and sowing.
At the beginning of farming, Pei Shaorong finally understood why this farm family paid so much attention to males in ancient times, and all the work in this field had to rely on men, otherwise the family would have to go hungry.
We have ten acres of land, so he and A Bao are definitely unable to plant it. Even if we can finish it, we will be exhausted. There is no other way, so Pei Shaorong has to spend money to hire someone to help.

Originally, Father Mo had asked Pei Shaorong, his cheap brother-in-law, and Mo Xiaobao to go home to help him farm, but who knew that Pei Shaorong bought the farm so quickly.
Not only did he buy farmland, but he also bought ten acres of land. He couldn't go home to help him farm the land anymore, which made Father Mo feel extremely depressed. ...I
found two honest men in the village to help, and Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao also started to get busy.
After staying in the village for so long, Pei Shaorong also knew how to farm, but this was the first practice, and the effect was not as good as he thought.
On the other hand, this little brother Mo Xiaobao is much better at farm work than him. Since he started planting, Mo Xiaobao has begun to show his great power, explaining to Pei Shaorong what the village called him as a 'capable' little brother!
After all the grain, seeds and fruit seedlings are sown and planted, the busy season of spring planting is basically over, and every household is finally a little free, and the rest is the daily maintenance of the fields.
The Pei family is no longer busy. The newly built house has been dried and ventilated. After finding an auspicious day with good weather, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao moved to the new house.
Linjiang Village didn't talk about moving banquets, so Pei Shaorong didn't plan to treat guests or anything. On the day of the move, they set off firecrackers and made a fuss before moving in!
Seeing that the Pei family is getting better and better every day, there are people who are envious and jealous in the village, and the most jealous of them is Liu Meihua.
She thought that her man was stolen from someone else, but now she sees that Mo Xiaobao eats and dresses better than herself, and she said that she was poor, but now she is buying farmland and repairing houses, Liu Meihua felt in her heart. Extraordinarily not the taste.
She also remembered that because of Pei Shaorong's tossing during the Chinese New Year, her family didn't even eat pork during the New Year. Later, Mo Xiaobao and Pei Shaorong went for a walk in Yueyang City and attracted the envy of all the villagers. Liu Meihua It was even more painful in my heart.
Isn't it just wearing cotton clothes to live in a new house and go to Yueyang City, what's so amazing, her husband can also make money to wear cotton clothes for her to live in a new house and go to Yueyang City!
Liu Meihua was unconvinced that Mo Xiaobao was better than herself, because she was determined to pay attention to building a brick house to make the villagers envy her.
"Master, while the family is not busy now, you can go to the next village to pick stones. You have 30 yuan a day, and each piece of blue stone is counted as another silver. Go, wait for my family to build a blue brick house next year! "Liu Meihua instigated on the side.
"Head of the family, while we are young and strong, we have to make money quickly. Although picking stones is a bit tiring, the money is a lot..."
"..."
Wang Afu couldn't believe his ears. There was a stone mountain in Xinghua Village next door. The blue stone above is the source of the blue brick. The whole mountain is owned by a rich man who has a stone-picking team, and the wages and treatment are very attractive.
But the problem is that it is too tiring and too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be killed by a stone falling from the mountain. Many people will stop at it. Generally, people in the family who are not a last resort will not do that work. life.
Wang Afu is a little reluctant. Although his family is not rich, it is not too poor. He has fields, land and food
. But there is a lot of money. If you don't take risks, you can earn money. Do you want to be poor all your life, and live in such a shabby hut that leaks even when it rains?
Thinking of Mo Xiaobao's current life and his own life, Liu Meihua felt unwilling and wronged, why did she blindly fall in love with Wang Afu in the first place.
For the sake of a man like Wang Afu, not only did he carry the reputation of robbing his husband until now, but when he got married, he even wore the old clothes of Wang Afu's mother.
No, I can't live in this shabby hut all the time. I must build a better house than Pei's house so everyone can envy me!
"Wang Afu, you useless man, look at how our family is living now, I've been married to you for so long and wore new clothes several times, and my son doesn't even want to eat a shortbread. What kind of head are you? My wife and son can't afford it, woo woo..."
"woo woo, Wang Afu, you are useless, why did I fall in love with you in the first place, woo woo, I tell you, you have to do this job, otherwise we will But that's fine, I'll take my son back to my parents' house, woo woo..."
Liu Meihua was not a gentle person at first, but now she has made up her mind to let Wang Afu go to pick stones to earn money and go home to build a big house. !
She played tricks and threatened and shouted, saying that Wang Afu didn't feel good in his heart. Hearing Liu Meihua saying that she was useless and blindly looked at her words, Wang Afu was also a little angry.
"Enough Liu Meihua, is it annoying to yell at you all day long, you know it's going to be noisy all day long, I knew that I had married A Bao back..."
"... Wang Afu, you have no conscience, I know that you still have that bitch Mo Xiaobao in your heart. You said, if Mo Xiaobao was not married now, would you marry him back again, ah, You said, you have no conscience, woo woo woo, I don't live anymore, I don't live anymore..."
Liu Meihua immediately became furious when she heard Wang Afu's words that she regretted marrying her, and got up and started to start with Wang Afu.
At this time, Wang Afu was also angry in his heart. It was really against the sky for a woman to dare to fight with her own man. When she was annoyed, she started to fight back, and the two fought in the room.

Zu Mari does include over the top humor and exaggerations intended to amuse, but satire is a very specific thing which this is not. I certainly haven't read enough xianxia to properly satirize or parody them. It's just a silly project I'm writing for fun, with a meta story that makes me laugh. Expecting anything else will only end in disappointment.
