The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

Grandma Lan was so happy that she couldn't help but feel happy. She had a granddaughter who was so smart that she could come up with solutions to problems that she had no idea how to solve.

"Also, grandma, the people who build the house can be those who have helped our family before. The village chief can arrange for anyone he wants to hire. It doesn't matter if there are too many people. We have more work to do when we have more people. The house will be built faster, and we can move in earlier."

Grandma Lan nodded quickly.

She didn’t know how to thank the people who had helped their family before, but now that she had the chance, Grandma Lan wanted to go and inform them immediately.

With her granddaughter's arrangement, she trotted out to find the village chief, fearing that if she was a step slower she would forget what her granddaughter had just said.

There were four people in the family, and everyone had their own work. Lan Ning bought paper and pen and stayed at home all day to design drawings. A thick stack of paper was crumpled into a ball and thrown on the ground one by one.

This brush is really hard to use. It's so soft and will smudge the ink if you're not careful.

Meng Anran is responsible for the housework at home. During the day, she follows Grandma Lan around. The old and the young manage to arrange things very neatly.

There were many workers building the house, more than 20 in total, who went to the mountain to mine stones every day, and then carried them back one by one and piled them on the empty land they bought.

There is no need to worry about the stones being stolen. Such heavy stones would require two men to carry them down the mountain on a shoulder pole. Besides, it would be useless if those men stole them.

Ever since Lan Ning's family invited those people in the village to come to their house to build a house, those women were so enthusiastic when they saw their family. They were paid twenty copper coins a day, which was seven or eight copper coins more than finding work outside. Who wouldn't be happy?

The house they live in has not been pushed up yet. They plan to do so after the foundation is laid. Then they will go to the county town to stay in an inn and move back after the house is completed.

After three days of continuous revisions, Lan Ning's drawings were finally handed over to the village chief on the fourth day.

The village chief took the drawing with great interest, but then he couldn't understand it.

He didn't believe that he couldn't understand this small picture of a house, so he looked at it carefully over and over again. Finally, he squatted on the ground resignedly and asked the inconspicuous little girl in front of him.

"Lan girl, grandpa can't understand this picture. Tell grandpa what it looks like."

Lan Ning took the blueprint with an expression that said, "Oh, I'm the only one who can do this." He then began to explain it to the village chief.

The village chief squatted beside Lan Ning and listened attentively, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“This is surrounded by a circle to build an outer wall.

The big one here is a house, and inside here, here, here, and here are all built into houses.

This is the toilet, this is for washing, this is empty and will be surrounded by stones to grow vegetables, this is the tile house above, where the livestock stay, this is the place to receive guests..."

After Lan Ning explained the blueprint, the village chiefs immediately understood the graphics and symbols on it.

"Not bad, not bad, Lan girl, the blueprint you drew is really good, I can understand it at a glance."

The village chief stared at the drawings and stood up to leave. With a bang, he hit the wall. Lan Ning quickly jumped off the stool and ran to check.

"Grandpa Village Chief, how are you?"

The village chief covered his forehead with one hand and waved at Lan Ning with the other.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm leaving first."

Seeing that the village chief was staggering as he walked, Lan Ning knew that he must have been hit hard, but he just refused to admit it.

When the house began to be built, Lan Ning's family moved to the county town.

Lan He and the others knew about this and insisted that they move in. Their house had been empty anyway, and they could save money on staying in an inn and could also see the construction status of their house at any time without having to run back and forth every day, which would be so troublesome.

Lan Ning thought about it and decided not to refuse, so he asked his grandmother to agree to their proposal.

This time when Lan Ning and her friends went to the county town, they brought back a lot of money, and Manager Ye and Chen gave them some dividends.

There were a total of more than 2,400 taels, which was more than a month's money. They had divided it once before, and with the silver left by the young man, they now had a total of more than 8,100 taels in their hands, which was more than enough to support their good life for a long time.

The house took nearly a month to build. Slow work produces fine work. During this period, Lan Ning modified the design several times. When she saw the final product, she was still very satisfied. In ancient times, it could be considered a small villa.

The entire wall was covered with a layer of lime, which made it look similar to the putty walls of later generations.

During the period of house renovation, although the Zhang family did not go out much, they knew that they had demolished the old house and rebuilt a new one. They were very angry. They lived a hard life, but Lan Ning's family lived a good life and rebuilt their house.

They wanted to argue, but were afraid of being driven out of the village, so they could only hide in the house and curse.

No matter how they cursed, Lan Ning and the others didn't know what was going on, so in the end they were the ones who were angry.

Grandma Zhang even got so angry these days that she developed a pain in the back of her breast. If Lan Ning were here, she would know that it was a problem with her breast, caused by excessive anger.

Not only the Zhang family, but also a group of people in the county town had been looking for them for a long time, but no matter how hard they searched, it was of no avail.

This group of people are the ones who were beaten by them before the New Year. No wonder they were beaten by them. It seems like they are all stupid people.

After searching for such a long time, any normal person could guess that they were definitely not from the county town. However, they still did not give up. They did not even consider looking somewhere else, but just kept searching in that small area of ​​the county town day after day.

After the house was built, Lan Ning asked Carpenter Wu from the village to make a custom-made wardrobe and bed, and also moved the tables into the new house.

During the day, I ran around in the new house with Meng Anran, looking around happily and curiously, and being curious about everything.

The house they built was not the same as the common houses, but was built like the houses of later generations. Walking in from the gate was the courtyard. There were only three doors in the courtyard, one was for receiving guests, one was for storing miscellaneous items, and the other was the door leading to the big house in front of them.

The toilet, washroom, kitchen and five bedrooms are all inside. If an unfamiliar person walks in, he will really be lost.

There is a large area left on the left side of the yard outside, which is just fenced off and no work has been done on it. This area is reserved for growing vegetables. Her 100 pepper plants do not require much space, and this space is enough to prevent others from being jealous and stealing them if she plants them outside. There are only such a few pepper plants, and it is not easy to get them.
