The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

The Wu family's house was very spacious. At that time, the Wu family spent three taels of silver to buy a three-acre foundation. One acre was used to build the house. The remaining two acres were all surrounded by green bricks, and part of it was used as a vegetable garden. , part of which raises poultry and livestock. Others followed Mo Yan's suggestion and planned to plant some rare fruit trees next spring, and Mo Yan naturally provided the fruit seedlings.

In order to build the house as quickly as possible, Wu asked many people in the village to help. In addition, the weather was crisp and there was little rain in autumn. Therefore, although the house was not small, it only took a month to build it.

After the house was built and simple furnishings were purchased, the five members of the Wu family hurriedly moved out of the Mo family and moved into their new house.

The layout of the house is also very simple, with a total of six square rooms and six side rooms. What Wu means is that when the two brothers Tietou and Shitou get married, if they get along well, they will live together as a family; if they don’t get along well, they will separate. At home, they just build a wall directly from the middle, and each brother takes half of it, so as not to have conflicts over the bricks and tiles and make outsiders laugh.

The twelve houses and the courtyard walls as high as one person are all made of blue bricks. The appearance looks square and very grand. Although the whole house is only as big as the Mo family's small yard, and the interior decoration is not as refined and elegant as the Mo family's, it is the best house in the entire Liuyang Village besides the Mo family.

The house was spacious and made of good materials, so it naturally cost a lot of money. After adding more furniture, most of the Wu family's belongings were gone. Fortunately, the family has a place to live, and the future will only get better and better. Wu did not feel bad at all after spending a lot of money, and planned to send the stone to a school in the city for enlightenment. It seemed that I want to support a scholar.

However, Mo Hong was jealous and shamelessly came to make trouble. The five members of the Wu family spoke the same language to the outside world, saying only that the money used to build the house was borrowed from the Mo family and they would have to pay it back in the future.

Even so, it cannot stop the envy of the villagers. When they think of the people in the village who are close to the Mo family, their lives are getting better and better. This is more or less in the Mo family's favor, and they hope that one day they can Once you catch the eyes of the Mo family, you can live your life accordingly. There were even a few families with girls of the right age, who began to inquire about Tietou and were interested in getting married to the Wu family.

Wu thought it was good to have two girls, and asked Tietou what he meant, but Tietou didn't say a word, but shook his head firmly.

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Mo Yan took five sets of brand new quilts as housewarming gifts, and came to Mo's house with Xin'er, Li Xiu and the others.

Wu took the quilt and felt it was smooth and soft. She knew it was made of excellent material. She couldn't help but scolded: "You kid, I'm very happy to be able to take the time to come over and help. Why are you giving me such an expensive gift?" ? We have enough bedding at home."

Mo Yan said with a smile: "Today is a happy day for Aunt Wu's family. As a niece, I have no shame in showing up empty-handed. Besides, these materials are all given by others. I am just borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha! If you don't use them, leave them for you. Sister Nier also makes dowry."

Mrs. Wu didn't know that this was her niece's excuse, so she reluctantly nodded her forehead and finally accepted her kindness.

After the work was divided, everyone got busy. Xin'er, Li Yan, Tang Xin, the three younger ones washed vegetables, and Mo Yan, Li Xiu, and Nier cut vegetables. For a moment, the sound of the knife and the chopping board was mixed with the sound of water, making the originally empty and quiet courtyard suddenly become lively.

The sun gradually rose, and women who were friends with Wu came to Mo's house one after another. Just as they were about to roll up their sleeves to help, they saw that the dishes that should be washed had been washed, and only some of them had not been cut. They felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. Sorry, he hurriedly took the knives from Mo Yan and the others and asked them to rest.
