The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

After the beams were put up, the house was completely completed in a few days. The three acres of land was not small, and the yard was very spacious. There were still three main rooms, but they were much more spacious than the previous thatched house.

The wing rooms and kitchen were built on the east side, and two other separate houses were built on the west side next to the main house. The living room faces the sun to prevent moisture inside the house.

A wall was built next to the house on the west side, and through a small door there was a separate courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but there was a two-story building inside.

There are two rooms on the left and right, with the main room in the middle. The wooden staircase is in the main room, and upstairs is a large bedroom. Now there is nothing in it except the bed, and it looks empty.

But Chu Xiao liked it very much. In summer, he and Brother Shen lived on the second floor. It was very cold in winter, and the second floor was uninhabitable without a kang, so they moved to the first floor.

Anyway, there are only two of them in this courtyard.

I still need to arrange some furniture and decorations. It won’t look good if it’s empty.

Chu Xiao began to plan: "Put a large screen here, a desk here, and a large cabinet. Put two rocking chairs by the window so that you can sit by the window and enjoy the breeze at night."

It really makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it.

Yan Zhenshen nodded and said, "I'll make you a dressing table."

"That's not necessary." Chu Xiao didn't need to draw eyebrows and dress up in front of the mirror: "But I can prepare some for mother and third sister."

Women should be pretty.

After going downstairs, Chu Xiao looked at the two rooms on the first floor. They were not very big, just slightly bigger than the house he lived in before.

Apart from the space for the kang, there is enough space for cabinets and tables on the floor.

Chu Xiao's favorite thing about this courtyard is that it finally has a bathroom. Yan Zhenshen even specially had a stove built in the bathroom so that he can boil water while taking a shower and won't feel cold in winter.

From now on, you can take a bath in winter, and you don’t have to just wipe it with a towel. You can even take a bath together with Brother Shen.

It's just that taking a bath in the big bathtub consumes a lot of water, and this place is also farther from the river.

"Let's dig a well." Chu Xiao hadn't thought about this before.

"Okay, I'll go find someone to check it out in a few days."

To dig a well, you need to find a professional well digger. I don’t know how they can tell how deep to dig to get water.

Not only that, the direction and feng shui must also be considered. Yan Zhenshen doesn't understand the conflict between yin and yang.

It's normal not to understand. There are only three wells in the entire Anning Village, one in the middle of the village, one in the north of the village, and the other well is in the yard of the witch in the east of the village.

Although Anning Village is not the largest village in Anning Town, it has more than 60 households and more than 300 villagers.

Not every family has many people. For example, Uncle Sun's family only has the grandfather and his grandson. Zhang Yiming also has only his mother and son. There are also single men like Li Guaizi.

But at the same time, there are also elderly people who do not separate their families, with more than a dozen people from three generations living in one yard.

However, there are only two public wells in such a large village. Some families live far away from the wells, and it takes them longer to fetch water than it does for the Yan family to go to the river.

The reason why we don’t dig more wells is very simple: digging wells is laborious and costly.

The village chief had wanted to dig two more wells so that the whole village would have more convenient access to water, and also to prevent drought in certain years. If one well dried up, the other wells would not be cut off from water.

But digging a well requires money and labor. People who live far away from the well agree, but those in the middle and north of the village who are close to the well naturally don't want to pay. What's worse, some families are unwilling to even contribute labor.

After a few discussions, there was no further progress.

Yan Zhenshen didn't know any well-digger, but Yan Zhennan knew him. He had been an apprentice in a carpenter's shop for five years and often delivered furniture to various villages.

Not to mention that he knew everyone in the surrounding area, but at least he knew which family in which village was rich, which family had what skills, and even which family had the worst character.

It’s not that he likes to pry into other people’s affairs. After all, he is not as gossipy as Wang Wu.

Since he has a younger sister at home, he can learn about the situation in each village in advance and have an idea of ​​the situation.

His eldest brother used to be very taciturn. He didn't care about anything happening in Anning Village, let alone other villages.

His parents are soft-hearted and would probably believe a few pitiful words from others.

As for his third sister, she is a bit aggressive, but she is a girl after all. The men in the county always say that this woman is the easiest to coax. If you give her a piece of candy, she will think that the candy will always be sweet.

Therefore, as the second elder brother, he must keep a close eye on his younger sister's marriage. If he entrusts his trust to the wrong person, he and his elder brother might not be able to bear to let the third sister become a widow.

However, ever since Xiao Ge'er came to their house, Yan Zhennan no longer had this worry. This brother-in-law is very capable and loves his third sister very much. He might care about his third sister's future marriage more than he, the brother, does.

Yan Zhennan never expected that Chu Xiao had no intention of letting his third sister get married. After all, the family was rich, so wouldn't it be nice for him to find a daughter-in-law to marry into the family?

Since Yan Zhennan knew someone who could dig a well, Yan Zhenshen didn't bother with the matter.

It took several days to build the cowshed, pigpen, chicken coop and duck shed, and Yan Zhennan's large pieces of furniture were almost ready.

The remaining screens, dressing tables, rocking chairs, etc. are not in a hurry to be used and can be made later.

The house had been baking for several days, and on this day the weather was good, so the family moved into the new house.

Qiao Qingyun and Yan Zhenbei also took leave and came back.

Wang Wu also called Gu Pan to help with the move.

The first person to run into the new house was Yan Zhenbei. As soon as he entered the yard, he ran to the water tank, threw the carp in his arms into the tank, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the fish that was wagging its tail, "May you have plenty every year."

Then, one of the Yan brothers carried flour and the other carried rice into the kitchen. Zhao Guizhi held a basket of peanuts and red dates and shouted behind them, "Auspicious words."

Yan Zhennan immediately responded: "A good harvest."

Yan Zhenshen followed up and said, "The granary is full of grain."

Yan Zhennan turned his head to look at his elder brother: "Can't you think of one yourself?"

Yan Zhenshen had an expressionless face: "The teacher didn't teach me that."

Okay, when two poor students meet, no one should say anything bad about anyone else.

Zhao Guizhi didn't take it seriously. She put the red dates and peanuts into the main room and said, "I wish you a house with many descendants."

Chu Xiao, who followed behind, took the seasoning into the kitchen and said, "Enough food and clothing."

Yan Sanmei followed in and quickly replied, "All the best."

Wang Wu and Gu Pan came up with it more casually, wishing good luck and success in everything.

As soon as Qiao Qingyun, who was lagging behind, stepped into the yard, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Even though he had so many poems in his mind, he was speechless for a moment when being stared at like that.

"New Year brings a new home, a blessed land opens the door to good fortune."

Everyone nodded, still looking at him.

He could only speak again: "The fragrance of flowers enters the room, the spring breeze is hazy, and the auspicious air fills the house with a new and beautiful scene."

Yan Zhennan blinked at him and said, "Another one."

Qiao Qingyun smiled helplessly: "Qiaodi is happy to move to a new place, but the old family tradition remains unchanged."

Yan Zhengdao clapped his hands in the back: "Well said."

Everyone clapped along, making Qiao Qingyun feel a little embarrassed.

Yan Zhengdao, who was the last to appear, was a little confused after clapping his hands. He looked at everyone in the yard and wondered why he was ranked last. Did they think he was cunning?

After a long pause, he finally managed to say: "A harmonious family brings prosperity."
