The next day, Yan Zhenshen went to the village chief's house and came back to say that the residential land could be approved, but the area could not be that large and could only occupy one and a half acres of land.

This is because Chief Secretary Lu approved a little more, directly counting the three adult men of the Yan family into the plan and approving it according to the three households. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a farming family to have more than half an acre.

Chu Xiao was speechless for a while. The front and back yards of the house they lived in now were about half an acre in total.

One and a half acres is not enough for a courtyard with five entrances, let alone two.

Chu Xiao sighed and suddenly lost the motivation to make money.

But the reality is that he can't force it: "Then let's do it this way, we will start construction in the spring of next year."

Yan Zhenshen noticed her husband's disappointment, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, it's me..."

Chu Xiao immediately covered his mouth: "What nonsense are you trying to talk about? One and a half acres of residential land is nearly a thousand square meters. In our base, even the managers can't live in such a big house."

Yan Zhenshen's mouth was covered and he couldn't speak, he could only blink his eyes.

Chu Xiao thought his brother Shen's cute look was quite adorable, and said with a smile: "I am very satisfied. Brother Shen built me ​​a big house, which is several times bigger than Chu Laoer's house."

Yan Zhenshen pulled Chu Xiao's hand down: "The five-story house."

"What's the point of having such a big yard? You have to run two miles just to find someone. Could it be that Brother Shen wants to have three wives and four concubines, each with a courtyard?" Chu Xiao looked up and asked.

Yan Zhenshen: “…” Is it unfair for him?

"Don't even think about it." Chu Xiao snorted.

"No, I just want a husband." Yan Zhenshen couldn't say any sweet words, so he could only express it with actions.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Lu Chengxue's wedding date.

Lu Zhicheng rode into the village on a tall horse, attracting a lot of onlookers. They all said that the Yan family was lucky and could earn a lot of dowry by picking up a girl.

But when the rows of dowry were carried out, these people were dumbfounded again. This was not their own daughter, so wasn't the dowry too much?

Lu Chengxue also didn't expect that Chu Xiao would secretly prepare so much dowry for her. There were six quilts necessary for marrying off a daughter, and several sets of cotton-padded clothes.

Almost all of the things that the Lu family brought as proposal were taken back, except for the food that could not be stored.

Together with some odds and ends, it filled up an entire ox cart.

At that time, Lu Zhicheng gave 10 taels of betrothal money. Cheng Xue said that she would take out 5 taels to help buy dowry, and the remaining 5 taels would be used as Cheng Xue's filial piety to her godfather and godmother.

But now it seems that these things are worth more than five taels, and even ten taels may not be enough.

Before getting on the bridal sedan, Chu Xiao took out a purse and handed it to her: "This is money for your survival. I trust my uncle's character, but you are my sister, Chu Xiao, so you should have some money for your survival when you go to your husband's house."

Lu Chengxue refused: "Brother Xiao, I know you are good to Cheng Xue, but I really can't take this money anymore."

Chu Xiao looked at the girl in a red wedding dress and delicate makeup, and smiled: "You are so beautiful, I am your brother, you have to listen to me, but don't obey your husband completely after you get married, you should punish this man, if your uncle bullies you, come back, I will let Taxue bite him."

Lu Chengxue also laughed, and as she laughed her tears began to fall. She threw herself into Chu Xiao's arms and sobbed.

Although the incident has passed, the grievance in her heart can never be eliminated. She thought that they no longer had any relatives. Now she knows that those who care about you may not all be blood relatives.

"Thank you, brother."

Chu Xiao patted her on the back: "Don't cry, or your makeup will be ruined."

"Ah."

Lu Chengxue was carried to the bridal sedan by the groom with a silly smile on his face. He reluctantly said goodbye to his third sister: "Come and see me if you have nothing to do."

"Sister Cheng Xue, I will." The third sister was reluctant and burst into tears.

When a girl gets married, only her brothers can send her off, so only the two brothers Yan Zhenshen and Yan Zhennan went with her.

Watching the sedan chair going further and further away, Zhao Guizhi couldn't help but wipe away tears: "We've been together for so long, I really can't bear to let it go."

Chu Xiao joked: "Won't it be even more difficult for you if your third sister gets married?"

Zhao Guizhi looked at Yan Sanmei, who was crying and shaking her head: "You have to get used to it."

There was suddenly one less person in the family, and it was indeed difficult for everyone to adapt for a while. Of course, the one who was most unable to adapt was Yan Sanmei.

Finally, she had a sister who would go in and out with her, eat and sleep with her, but now she was alone.

She was a little depressed for two consecutive days, until Lu Chengxue came back home on the third day, when she started to smile a little.

While Lu Zhicheng was chatting with the father and son of the Yan family, Lu Chengxue was pulled to the kitchen by Yan Sanmei.

Zhao Guizhi was preparing to light a fire to cook, and asked with a smile: "Cheng Xue, are you used to living in the Lu family?"

Lu Chengxue lowered her head shyly: "My father treats me very well, Qingge'er is also very sensible and well-behaved. I also saw Xiaobei yesterday, but he was at a loss for how to address me."

Speaking of this, even Zhao Guizhi couldn't explain it. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, so it didn't matter if she shouted it randomly.

But now Lu Chengxue is half a family member, and his brat Xiaobei is obviously dependent on Qingger. Lu Zhubu never says much, and it seems that he has no objection and also wants to arrange a marriage.

The generational structure is really chaotic nowadays.

Zhao Guizhi did not mention this matter, but asked: "Have your parents come to look for you?"

Lu Chengxue shook her head: "No."

Since the last breakup, Lu's parents have indeed never shown up once. However, when Lu Chengxue went back to see her grandfather a few times, her parents avoided her.

Now that she is living a good life, grandpa feels relieved and his health has improved.

"You should go see your grandfather after lunch," Zhao Guizhi reminded.

Lu Chengxue smiled and said, "Godmother, I know."

The three-day retreat was supposed to be over in the afternoon, so even if one was reluctant, one had to leave, after all, many rules could not be abolished.

After lunch, Lu Zhicheng accompanied Lu Luxue to Liujiawan.

Chu Xiao saw them off at the door for a while. The cold wind blew and he shivered.

This winter is really cold, but Zhao Guizhi said that now is not the coldest time. The real nine cold seasons will come after the winter solstice.

Seeing that her husband's nose was red from the cold, Yan Zhenshen didn't care about the looks from his family members and pulled him into his arms: "Go inside and stay there. You should wear your cloak tomorrow."

"Oh, I'll get used to it once I adapt." Chu Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with keeping warm early.

But he had to adapt to the cold winter, and he also planned to go to the county town after a while to dispose of all the wild boar meat in the space.

If you can't stand the slightest bit of cold, will you have to stay at home for the whole winter?

Yan Zhenshen's eyes were full of disapproval: "It doesn't matter if you get used to it in a day or two. If you can't get used to it this year, you can get used to it next year."

Chu Xiao: “…” What kind of twisted logic is his brother Shen talking about?
