When Mr. and Mrs. Xu heard that they were going to build another house, they felt a little uncomfortable.

When she built the new house, she deliberately made each room wider, hoping that the family could live together in a lively and lively manner.

Shi Qingqian noticed their hesitation and explained, "Uncle and aunt, it's not what you think. We have to move out after getting married."

"We're just going to build a few more rooms on the outer wall. I have a lot of stuff, and this room can't hold it all. I'm thinking of opening a small door in the current house that leads directly to the later house. That way, we can move around without having to go out the front door, just like before."

Zhang Lanxiang vaguely seemed to understand what she meant.

It would be a good idea to just build a few more rooms next to the outer wall.

Zhang Lanxiang thought for a moment and said, "Qianqian, your idea isn't bad. This way we can solve the problem of not being able to put things away, and we won't be too far away."

Father Xu also nodded, "Well, this is indeed feasible. Then Huai'an, you should go and discuss with your second uncle and see if you can approve the land."

Xu Huaian responded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he went out to look for his second uncle. Shi Qingqian held him back and stuffed a small bag of White Rabbit candy into his hand: "How can you go to an elder's house empty-handed?"

After Xu Huaian left, Zhang Lanxiang pulled Shi Qingqian back to the room.

"Qianqian, tell your aunt that you want to build a few more rooms and move out. Are you thinking of becoming the eldest daughter-in-law?"

Shi Qingqian smiled and said frankly: "Aunt, you can see that my sister-in-law and I don't get along. I want to build a house on the outer wall this time because I have too many things and one room can't hold them all. On the other hand, it is indeed because of my sister-in-law's reasons."

"That's just my nature. If someone respects me a little, I'll give them ten times as much. If someone bullies me a little, I'll give them ten times as much. There's no room for tolerance."

Zhang Lanxiang sighed slightly, "Qianqian, your sister-in-law does have some issues, but we are family after all. We should try to get along well with each other in the future. However, your idea does make sense. It's unreasonable to tolerate others bullying you and not fight back."

"It's good to build a house. Everyone can live more comfortably. Wait until Huai'an comes back and see what your second uncle says. If we can get the land, we will start building the house right away. I'm sorry to bother you."

……

Xu Huaian came back soon.

Shi Qingqian asked, "How is it? Has it been approved?"

Xu Huaian nodded and said, "Of course it was approved. The three of us brothers have already separated, so we should be able to get another piece of homestead. However, even if we get married, there are only two of us, so the maximum we can get is 80 square meters. I thought that since we want to renovate it, we should do it all at once and spend money to expand the homestead to 200 square meters."

Shi Qingqian was a little worried: "Will this work? Don't set a trap for your second uncle."

"No, this is in compliance with regulations. Besides, this piece of land where our homestead is located is already wasteland, and we can't grow crops if we leave it alone."

After listening to Xu Huaian's explanation, Shi Qingqian felt relieved. "Then you should quickly send the money to your second uncle so that you can find someone to clean up the floor tomorrow."

"Come with me," Xu Huaian pulled Shi Qingqian into the room and took out two passbooks from his pocket. "This is my salary and bonus from more than ten years of military service. I'll keep them for you from now on."

"Are you really giving it to me?" Shi Qingqian asked with a raised eyebrow.

Xu Huaian looked at her gently: "Here you are. I'll give you all my future wages."

Shi Qingqian opened two passbooks.

One is the salary, a total of 82 yuan.

One is a bonus, totaling 9783.19 yuan.

Two tickets totaling 01 yuan

Shi Qingqian was a little surprised: "How did you save so much money?"

"I eat in the canteen and wear military uniforms in the army. Apart from sending 20 yuan to my parents every month, I don't have any other expenses on weekdays, so I save all the money."

Shi Qingqian really admired him. More than 75 yuan in 2 was not a small amount of money.

"awesome."

Shi Qingqian stood on tiptoe and brushed her lips against the corner of his lips.

This sudden gentle gesture made Xu Huaian stunned for a moment, and then a blush appeared on his face.

"Qianqian..." Xu Huaian's voice was a little hoarse, and he gently held Shi Qingqian's hand.

Shi Qingqian whispered in his ear, "This is a reward for your initiative to hand over your salary. Remember to keep up the good work."

Just as Xu Huaian was about to take the initiative, Shi Qingqian jumped away like a nimble deer with a sly smile on her face.

"Okay, the money is in my cloth bag. It takes you as long as it takes. Hurry and send it to Second Uncle. We still have a lot of things to do."

Xu Huaian smiled helplessly. He really wanted to hurry up and marry her to see where she could run.

……

Xu Huaian acted extremely quickly. After the land was approved, he immediately took his second uncle and village cadres to demarcate the scope of the homestead.

After the scope was determined, the weeds on the ground were cleared overnight, and the next day, he went to the town to buy bricks, tiles, cement and other materials. He also found more than ten construction workers and found another ten people from the village to help with the work and moving things.

For a time, the Xu family's new homestead was bustling with activity, and Xu Huaian was busy running around outside.

Shi Qingqian was not idle either, doing some simple chores, such as bringing water to everyone, making some mung bean soup when it was too hot, or riding a bike to the town to buy meat, vegetables and fruit.

The wages they paid were not low, and the daily meals were also very good, with meat at every meal. The rice was not as watery as that of other families, where there was only a tablespoon of rice in a river.

Because of this, the workers worked very hard.

The one who regretted the most at this time was Li Guihua.

There is no such thing as compensation for helping one's own brothers, so Li Guihua tried hard to stop Xu Huaiguo from going to help next door, otherwise he would throw a tantrum, crying and jumping.

Xu Huaiguo didn't want to be laughed at by others, so he had to avoid Li Guihua's eyes and secretly go to help.

Among brothers, he is the eldest brother, so how can he just stand by and watch?

Knowing that Shi Qingqian provided good food for the workers, Li Guihua secretly scolded her for being a fool, saying that so much food and money were given away for nothing to outsiders.

But after cursing in her heart, when it was time for dinner, Li Guihua came over to eat with a thick face.

Shi Qingqian saw this and kicked Li Guihua out immediately. She had spent money to buy rice and vegetables, and it was not the turn of an ungrateful person to eat them.

Li Guihua was so angry that she stamped her feet and cursed, but Shi Qingqian ignored her and continued to invite the workers to eat.

This scene happened several times, and with the workers gossiping about it, Li Guihua finally didn't have the face to come again.

She just wanted to bring Erwa here. As long as he didn't eat or take anything, Shi Qingqian had to give face to Xu Huaiguo and Xu's father and mother and turn a blind eye.
