Huang Laodou had connections for wood, bricks, tiles and other materials used to build houses, and he could get them at good quality and low prices, which solved Tian Danian's problem.

If Tian Danian went out to buy it himself, not only would the prices be high, but he would also be the one who would suffer if he encountered those who sold inferior products as good ones.

Once all the details are finalized, we can start building the house in the afternoon. Before that, what needs to be solved is the accommodation problem of the Tian family during this period.

Huang Laodou thought for a moment and said, "When I got off the car just now, I looked around and saw a large open space nearby. I will build a few simple houses there for your family to live in, so that after your house is demolished, you and your family will not have to go to the village to find a place to stay."

"That's good, but Brother Huang will have to worry about it."

Originally, Tian Danian wanted to build the same house as the previous one, just with a few more rooms. Later, after being persuaded by Tian Xiaoman, he decided to build a bigger house with three courtyards in front and back.

"Dad, you have to think about it. There are not only my eldest brother and third brother in the family now, but also Hanhan and Chen Ying. If we don't build a few more houses, I'm afraid they won't be enough to live in.

Besides, when your eldest brother Hanhan and his family give you grandchildren in the future, it will be even more crowded with a large family, so you might as well build it now and make it bigger."

When no one was looking, Tian Xiaoman winked at Tian Danian quietly and whispered, "Dad, don't forget that our family is not short of money now."

Tian Danian couldn't help laughing. He didn't know who this daughter took after. She was so clever and eccentric, not like himself or her mother at all.

However, because of this daughter, their family's life is getting better at a visibly fast pace.

"Okay, then I'll listen to my daughter and we'll build a big house with three entrances in front and back."

When Huang Laodou heard Tian Danian say that their family wanted to live in a large house with three courtyards in front and back, he was surprised.

After all, for a farmer's family, being able to build a brick and tile house is the best life.

Now, the Tian family is planning to build a large house with three courtyards in front and back. Wouldn’t that make them the same as those wealthy lords in the county?

No! Some families in the county town can't afford to live in a big house with three front and back courtyards!

Huang Laodou was very quick. After finalizing the details with Tian Danian, he asked his eldest son to take Shitou to buy wood, and asked his other nephew to take Tian Danian to buy bricks, stones and other things for building the house.

In short, all the people brought by Huang Laodou were busy, and in the end they were all assigned out, leaving only Huang Laodou's youngest son Huang Xi to stay in Tian's house to measure the land.

Within three days, all the materials needed to build the house were purchased and delivered to the door one after another.

The Tian family's plan to build a house is also in full swing.

Looking at the three main rooms of his house, which have now been razed to the ground, Tian Danian felt a little sad.

That was the house he had lived in for more than 30 years, and there were many memories in it. He felt very uncomfortable when all of them were suddenly dug up like this.

But when he thought that within a month, a large house with three entrances would be built here, he felt relieved.

Our lives will get better and better, this is just the beginning.

The bricklaying team from Huangjiaji worked very quickly. Almost everyone in the team was capable of working. Together with Mr. Tian and several people from the village who came to help, they built the house together, and the house was built exceptionally quickly.

In half a month, the house was built, and the final process would be completed after waiting for an auspicious day to put up the beams.

Huang Laodou and his men spent a whole day to build the outer wall of the courtyard. In response to Tian Danian's request, the outer wall was two meters high and ordinary people could not climb over it.

Seeing that there were still quite a few blue bricks left, Tian Xiaoman gave Tian Danian an idea to pave the entire front yard of the house with blue bricks.

Wang kept complaining for a long time, saying that the land had been paved with blue bricks, so how would she raise chickens in the front yard in the future?

This blue brick is so expensive. If she raises chickens and the floor is covered with chicken poop, won’t she be heartbroken?

Tian Xiaoman couldn't help laughing, "Mom, we already live in a big house with three entrances and the ground is paved with blue bricks, why do you still want to raise chickens in the front yard? If you still want to raise chickens, then move them to the back."

There happened to be a large open space in the backyard, which was specially fenced off for use as a vegetable garden and livestock shed.

The barn is divided into two parts, one side is the stable and the other side is the "sheep pen".

Perhaps knowing that Tian Xiaoman's family had been having a lot of happy events recently, the three female alpacas in the backyard all gave birth to lambs, bringing a touch of joy to the Tian family.

----

March 28th is an auspicious day for accepting the bride price and raising the beam.

On this day, the people of Tianjia Village got up early and went to Tian Danian's house.

Today is the day when Tian Danian's family puts up the beams. After a few more days of work, the Tian family's house will be completed.

It was a rare feast, and some people from Tianjia Village came with their families, while others came alone, but almost no one came empty-handed.

They would either send some eggs or bring some food and cloth, or at least give twenty cents.

The feast at the Tian family did not disappoint everyone. There were twelve dishes on each table - five meat dishes, five vegetable dishes, two soups, and two kinds of rice mixed with rice and millet.

This is considered a very sumptuous meal in Tianjia Village. Most families may not be able to prepare such a good meal during the New Year.

The temporary stove was not far from the Tian family's new yard, and many women came to help today.

Tian Xiaochun, Tian Xiaoman, Chen Ying, and even Jiang Furong, who was almost recovered, were all busy together.

Tian Xiaochun was holding a plate of stewed fish in each hand and was about to serve the dishes to the table when he turned around and ran into Huang Xi who was returning from helping Huang Laodou with the beam-raising ceremony and washing his hands.

"Miss Xiaochun, let me help you."

Every time he saw Tian Xiaochun, Huang Xi felt a little embarrassed. Even when talking to Tian Xiaochun, he felt a little awkward.

"No, I can do it alone."

Tian Xiaochun tiptoed and a closed door opened. She walked into the yard with plates in her left and right hands.

Huang Xi was stunned by this skill.

Wow! This girl is quite something.

He stood where Tian Xiaochun had just stood, stretched out his right foot, and tried to open the door like Tian Xiaochun had just done, but failed after several attempts.

Huang Xi was still standing at the door practicing until Tian Xiaochun brought out two dishes.

"what are you doing?"

Huang Xi was caught, which was even more embarrassing.

"No, I didn't do anything, I just, I just -"

He hesitated for a long time and couldn't figure out how to explain his strange behavior.

Was he going to tell Miss Xiaochun that he was learning from her how to open the door with his feet?

Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing!

Tian Xiaochun glanced at him, said nothing, and then went to the back to serve the dishes.

When Tian Xiaochun came out, Huang Dong saw the conversation between the two. Seeing that Tian Xiaochun had left, he hurried out and put his hand on Huang Xi's shoulder.

"Second brother, you are in trouble!"

"Brother, stop talking nonsense! What's going on? I'm not doing that! I was just talking to the girl normally."

"Hey! Just say a few words!"

Huang Dong couldn't help laughing, "You are such a big boy, how can you be so shy? That's right, you can get married next year, it's time to find a girl you like. Back then, when I was your age, I always tried to please your sister-in-law, sending her food, drinks and flowers, otherwise how could your sister-in-law like me."

"Is it really possible to send food and drinks?"

In one word, Huang Xi was exposed.

"Oh my, isn't this a reveal?"

Huang Xi felt even more embarrassed, his face flushed red. As a grown man, he didn't know whether to leave or stay. Finally, Huang Dong stopped him and said, "I'm an experienced person, so of course I have experience. You can't go wrong by listening to me. Let's go! We've been busy all morning, let's go to the banquet to fill our stomachs."
