After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

Time passed slowly, and soon it was March. All things came back to life, and the fields and forests were full of vitality.

Li Xiaoxiao followed Bai on the small path in the village. Along the way, Li Xiaoxiao saw many villagers carrying hoes and sickles and preparing to go to the fields to work. Bai and Li Xiaoxiao greeted them one by one, and the two walked towards the village chief's house.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Bai explained her purpose to him and said that she wanted to buy a larger piece of land to build a new house.

The village chief listened to Bai's words, smiled and nodded in agreement. He took Bai and Li Xiaoxiao to a clearing on the edge of the village, where the land was flat and the surrounding environment was very quiet.

"How's this place?" the village chief asked, pointing to the vacant lot. "It's big enough to build a house."

Bai looked around and nodded with satisfaction. Li Xiaoxiao also thought this piece of land was good and was secretly happy.

"Village chief, how much silver does this piece of land cost?" asked Bai.

The village chief thought about it and quoted a price. Bai and Li Xiaoxiao thought it was acceptable. The land was about two acres in total, plus a large piece of wasteland behind it of about four or five acres, for a total of fifteen taels of silver.

Moreover, this piece of land is on the edge of the village, making it convenient for doing anything. Li Xiaoxiao is very satisfied with this.

"Okay, village chief, let's go back and prepare the silver." Bai said.

Li Xiaoxiao and Bai Shi left the village chief's house and returned home happily. They looked forward to a new life in the future and hoped to build their own happy home on this land.

After Bai and Li Xiaoxiao returned home, Bai went to the place where she hid the silver in her room and took out fifteen taels of silver and delivered it to the village chief's house.

The village chief took the silver, handed the land deed to Bai, and said with a smile: "This land is now yours. I hope you can build your new house soon."

Bai thanked the village chief and left happily.

In the afternoon, Li Xiaoxiao and Bai went to find Uncle Wang again and asked him to help build the house. Uncle Wang agreed readily.

The next morning, while Li Xiaoxiao's family was still having breakfast, Li Xiaoxiao's uncle Bai Dong and uncle Bai Jing rushed over from Baishui Village. Li Xiaoxiao welcomed them into the house and said, "Uncle, uncle, why are you here so early? I'm afraid you set out before dawn, right?"

"Yes, Xiaoxiao." Bai Dong said with a smile, "I didn't care about your urgent situation. We got up before dawn and set off."

"Thank you, uncle." Li Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart.

"Sister, what do you plan to build the new house like?" Bai Jing asked.

"Xiaoxiao and I have discussed it and decided to build a courtyard house, which is more spacious. Xiaoxiao has already drawn the blueprint of the house." As she said that, Bai walked into the room and took out a blueprint of the new house.

"The courtyard is nice and comfortable to live in. I didn't expect the little girl to be so talented and even be able to draw blueprints!" Bai Dong nodded and praised.

"Uncle, please don't laugh at me. I was just joking." Li Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly.

"Xiaoxiao, I think your drawing is very good. When my uncle sees this blueprint, he will think that the house built will be both beautiful and comfortable to live in." Bai Jing also spoke.

This drawing was drawn by Li Xiaoxiao based on the modern courtyard house. The design also incorporates some modern elements. It will definitely look beautiful and practical. Li Xiaoxiao is confident about this.

"Okay, big brother, little brother, you guys sit down and eat something first. You must be hungry after traveling for such a long time." After saying that, Bai went to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Bai Dong and Bai Jing.

The two took the bowls and chopsticks without hesitation and started to eat breakfast. Li Xiaoxiao put some vegetables into their bowls from time to time, and in the end, they were both full.

"Sister, Xiaoxiao, how much materials are needed to build a house? I will go to the town with you to purchase them later. Bai Jing, you stay at home and look after Fang'er and Lin'er." Bai Dong said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle." Li Xiaoxiao said.

After breakfast, the group headed towards the town in a mighty procession.

Because she had plenty of money, Li Xiaoxiao thought it would be better to use better materials for building the house, so she spent a lot more money than expected when buying the materials. However, now that she had enough money, Li Xiaoxiao didn't care. Instead, Bai Dong, who was standing next to her, felt very distressed and kept saying that the two of them didn't know how to live. Li Xiaoxiao just smiled and didn't answer, because she knew that her uncle was doing it for their own good.

After purchasing the materials needed to build the house, they rushed back to the village without stopping.

Now Li Xiaoxiao still lives in the same room with Bai Shi, and Li Xiaoxiao’s previous room has just been vacated for her two uncles to live in.

Uncle Wang brought Wang Dali, and Li Xiaoxiao found five or six young men in the village. They agreed to pay each of them 20 cents a day, and provided lunch. This was better than in the town. Since Uncle Wang was the main force, he was paid 35 cents a day. Together with Bai Dong and Bai Jing, there were ten people in total who helped to build the house.

Uncle Wang chose an auspicious day and after checking with Mrs. Bai to make sure there were no problems, the construction of the new house officially began.

The first step was to dig the foundation. Uncle Wang led his men to start digging according to the drawings drawn by Li Xiaoxiao.

Everyone worked together and worked hard.

A few days later, the foundation was finally dug.

Then, Uncle Wang began to organize people to build the frame of the house.

Bai and Li Xiaoxiao were also busy preparing food for everyone while the house was being built.

Even Li Fang and Li Linlin helped boil water for the people who helped them build the house, and were responsible for taking care of the chickens and ducks at home.

It is spring now, and it is the time when wild vegetables grow rapidly, so Li Fang and Li Linlin go out every day to dig some fresh wild vegetables, some for themselves to eat, and some for chopped up to feed chickens and ducks. Bai and Li Xiaoxiao have already planted various vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard, and they just have to wait for them to grow.

After a month of hard work, the main structure of the courtyard house was complete, looking quite spectacular. Mrs. Bai and Li Xiaoxiao stood in the courtyard, beaming with joy. Next came the interior renovations, which were expected to take another month. Li Xiaoxiao and her family were already looking forward to life in their new home.

The interior decoration was proceeding in an orderly manner. Bai and Li Xiaoxiao carefully selected each brick and tile, while Uncle Wang led the craftsmen to carefully carve the doors, windows and railings.

That day, Bai was discussing the bedroom layout with Li Xiaoxiao when they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

They hurried out to check, only to see a group of people gathered at the door, pointing and talking at the newly built courtyard.

It turned out that some elderly people from the village were passing by and couldn't help but admire such a magnificent house.

To be honest, the house that Li Xiaoxiao is building now is the first of its kind in the village. When Li Xiaoxiao was drawing the blueprint, he thought about building a few more rooms so that guests could stay there, so there are nine rooms in the entire courtyard.

Li Xiaoxin warmly invited the elderly people to come in for a visit and humbly asked for their suggestions on decoration.

With the approval and blessings of the elders, Bai and Li Xiaoxiao became even more motivated. They believed that this courtyard would become a happy harbor for the whole family.
