She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

There were no patents in that era. It was not possible to say that just because a family discovered and used lime to build houses, others could not use the same thing.

The reality is just the opposite. If the villagers think something is good and come to your house to ask about it, it means they like what you have done.

Unless you make it clear from the beginning that you want to use this to do business, otherwise if you keep it secret at this time, the gossiping villagers will be enough to break your spine.

By the way, what the hell, if you really like something from his house, your tail will be up in the sky?

Besides, everyone in the village knew where the stones for burning lime came from, and they also knew that this was the case with her kiln.

Wang Jie made a special trip to talk about this, which was also a respect for them. Otherwise, the family could just go and mine some stones and burn them themselves. Why would she care?

There is no such right at all.

Gu Qingqing smiled in relief. "Since they asked, we can just tell them. That piece of mountain is not ours. As for the kiln at home, we can use it if we want. It's just sitting there anyway. Oh, by the way, did the Wang family say what kind of house they want to build?"

Gu Qingqing asked curiously.

Wen Wuyan laughed when he said this. "He originally wanted to build a house with blue bricks and adobe walls, but the people who went there kept saying that it would be better to tighten your belt and build a house with blue bricks and tiles. Not only is it spacious, but it will also last longer. They also said that if you build a half-brick house for Wang Chu, his wife will not look outstanding. If you build three blue brick and tile houses, who knows how many women will be willing to marry into your family."

"So, he plans to build it with green bricks and tiles?"

"Yeah!" Wen Wuyan nodded.

Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, and after a while she said, "That's what the villagers said. Blue bricks and tiles are definitely better than half bricks and half adobe. It can be done in one go without any worries.

Besides, building a house is a big deal. If we don’t do it right now, we won’t have the chance to change it later.”

Afterwards, Gu Qingqing told him about buying ducklings today.

"Okay, when I come back from the exam, we'll go to the hillside and choose a piece of land, and I'll build two sheds first."

"Okay!"

......

Time flies and it is already the fifth day of February.

Gu Qingqing got up early in the morning, baked a few pancakes, cooked some porridge, and boiled a few eggs to take on the road.

Li Xin Dahua followed and helped.

After the family had eaten early, Gu Qingqing packed up the three flowers, and Li Xin followed Wen Wuyan to help pack up the pens and ink.

Luo Meihua and Niu Yuzhu came early in the morning, but didn't say anything. It was as if their presence was a silent blessing for you to do well in the exam.

"Sister-in-law, you said that Brother Wuyan is going to take an exam, so why are you taking so many carrot heads with him? If you feel uneasy leaving them at home, just put them in my room and let them stay with me for the next two days." Luo Meihua approached Gu Qingqing.

"Take them with you, and let the kids go out and have a look. If it were any other season, I wouldn't go. Spring plowing is about to begin, and I want to go to the county to see if there are any other grain seeds." Gu Qingqing then told them about her plan.

Those are the only things grown in the village. Not to mention anything else, there are not even potatoes.

So she wanted to go to the county to see if she could find some crops that she was familiar with and liked.

"Maybe, but our crops here are only for the food we eat every day, and other crops won't grow well."

Gu Qingqing chuckled, "We have to try it, otherwise we'll get tired of eating it every day. Let me tell you, your brother Wuyan agreed to let me plant corn on the one and a third acre of land outside the village." After saying that, she showed a smug expression.

Luo Meihua chuckled and said only one sentence, "Brother Wuyan is caring."

The family packed up and were about to leave. Wen Wuyan wanted to give the key to the front door to Old Yang, but Old Yang refused. He waved his hand cheerfully and said, "It will only be a few days. Dahei can stay with me in the bamboo house. I don't have to come back time and time again to feed him. And you, I will teach you everything I know. I hope you can pass the exam and come back to make an old man like me happy."

Old Yang said that he didn't want to come and feed the dog, but actually Wuyan's family was not at home. Although he had no guilt involved, it was not appropriate for him to go in and out of their house.

Wen Wuyan made a serious expression, clenched his fists, and bowed to Old Yang with the etiquette of a scholar, "Wuyan will definitely not disappoint Uncle Yang."

Old Yang waved his hand at him and said, "Alright, alright, we are all farmers, we don't need this."

Wen Wuyan smiled and nodded, "Well, Uncle Yang, just wait for my good news. Also, I'll trouble Uncle Yang to take care of Dahei for the next two days."

Wen Wuyan didn't force it and put away the key.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me and it. Hurry up and pack your things. The old ox cart is here." Old Yang said, pointing towards the only path leading to their place.

Yes, the village’s ox cart is already waiting there.

Since the whole family was going, they naturally chartered a car, but this car was not chartered to the county, but to the town. Then they found a mule cart from the town to Shangyang County.

To be honest, the speed of the ox cart is too slow.

Just like that, taking the necessary things and carrying a bamboo basket, the whole family, big and small, got on the ox cart.

Especially when they found a mule cart with carriages from the town, not only did Erhua look like she had never seen the world, even Dahua, who was older than her, was not much better.

Erhua sat in the car, twisting and turning around, looking around, patting her butt from time to time, and said excitedly, "Sister, this car is bigger than the one Uncle Shen drove every time he came."

Dahua nodded in surprise, but then said, "This one isn't as pretty as Uncle Shen's car."

Among the three children, Li Xin was the calmest. Although it was his first time riding a mule cart, it did not prevent him from seeing it before when he was making a living in the town.

Looking at the three children with bright eyes and chattering along the way, Gu Qingqing felt that it was the right decision to bring them to the county.

Because it was a chartered car, not only was the carriage spacious, but it also did not stop along the way, and we arrived in the county at noon the day after tomorrow.

Wen Wuyan told the mule cart driver his destination. The mule cart driver also traveled back and forth between the town and the county, so he naturally took them to an inn not far from the examination hall.

Along the way, he also told Wen Wuyan about the general situation here. At the driver's "whoosh", the carriage stopped.

"It's here." The mule cart driver pointed at Gaosheng Inn.

Wen Wuyan nodded and got out of the car. He then lifted the door curtain and said to Gu Qingqing, "Qingqing, we're here."

Before getting off the car, Gu Qingqing handed the three flowers in her arms to Wen Wuyan, and only picked her up again after she got off.

Erhua jumped out of the car and talked about the house in front of her. She was amazed and whispered to Dahua, "Sister, look, the houses here are taller than those in our town!"

"Ok!"

"Also, look at all these people. Are they here to take the exam like dad?"

"probably!"

"Then why do you see another uncle? Ah! There's another one who's about the same age as Daxin-nii-san. Are they both here to take the exam?"

Without even waiting for Dahua to speak, Erhua threatened again, "Sister, you said there are so many people, can Daddy beat them in the exam?"

Dahua had no idea, but with blind faith in his father's aura, the little man straightened his body and whispered to Erhua, "Our father is the best!"
