Chapter 88 The Five Hu Brothers
Hu Chunsheng is quite famous in this village.
All five sons are filial and each one is more promising than the other.
The eldest son Hu Changping, the second son Hu Changan, and the third son Hu Changlin inherited their father's craftsmanship and became famous in the surrounding area.
As the saying goes, fathers and sons fight together in battle, and brothers fight tigers together. The brothers supported each other, and the brick kiln factory opened by the fourth brother Hu Changyun also became prosperous. The fifth brother was even more promising. He was supported by his brothers to study, and he passed the imperial examination and became a county magistrate.
On the way, those people asked them openly and secretly what they were doing at the county magistrate's house.
Yuan Shisheng looked very proud and told everything. Yuan Junyao held her forehead helplessly, but just let him do what he wanted.
Not long after they started walking, they ran into Uncle Hu, who was driving an ox cart. Uncle Hu said with a smile, "I was just thinking of going out to greet you. I didn't expect you to show up so quickly."
With Uncle Hu leading the way, there is no need for anyone else to lead the way.
After following Uncle Hu for about ten minutes, the carriage finally stopped in front of a row of blue brick and tile houses. Surrounding them were adobe houses, and these five houses stood out like a crane among chickens.
There are two blue brick houses in front of these five houses, which is probably where Uncle Hu lives.
Uncle Hu proudly introduced: "This is the home of my five sons. I live in front of them. That's where I live, and the cows live next to it."
Yuan Shisheng and his companions were already dazzled, but after hearing his introduction, they were completely dumbfounded.
Yuan Shisheng was surprised and asked, "Ah? For cows to live in?"
He looked at the blue brick and tile house, his mouth twitching. Although the house is small, but, but...
Yuan Junyao could only sigh and say that having money makes you do whatever you want.
"father."
"father."
"grandfather!"
"Grandpa."
At this time, many people came out from the homes of Uncle Hu's sons.
A large group of people, big and small.
After Uncle Hu introduced everything, Yuan Junyao didn't remember any of them.
Because Uncle Hu's five sons look really alike, especially the eldest, second and third sons, she can't tell them apart at all.
Because the three of them did rough work, they were all dark-skinned, and their facial features were extremely similar, so their appearances seemed blurred.
The fourth sister is very similar to Hu Changgeng, but she is a little more shrewd than Hu Changgeng. Looking at her smiling eyes, you have a feeling that everything is in jeopardy. She is worthy of being a businesswoman.
The last time Uncle Hu bought things was for his wedding.
Uncle Hu is in his sixties this year. His eldest son, Hu Changping, is already in his forties, and Hu Changping's son is probably about the same age as Hu Changgeng.
This was very normal in ancient times. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would stay in confinement together, and the uncle and nephew would be the same age.
She couldn't even tell the five brothers of the Hu family apart, let alone the other people in the Hu family, big and small.
There are more than ten children alone, and their chattering makes my head hurt. I have to say that Uncle Hu is really blessed.
Yuan Shisheng expressed his envy and kept telling Yuan Junhe that he must have more children after he got married. He also said a lot of profound truths, saying that no matter how rich and powerful one is, it is not as good as having many children and grandchildren.
Yuan Junyao couldn't understand this idea. Their current life was barely enough to make ends meet. Wouldn't having so many children increase the burden of life?
In ancient times, men were entitled to land when they reached 18 years old, but girls were not.
So this is why people in ancient times had to give birth to sons. Because women had a low status, giving birth to daughters would be a real loss for them.
Yuan Junyao couldn't understand their thinking. The harder life got, the more important it was to have good eugenics and raise children well. It wasn't like modern times, where no matter how many children you had, the state would still support them.
Uncle Hu's daughters-in-law were preparing lunch, and Uncle Hu took them to his home.
After they entered the house, Grandpa Hu burned incense and set off firecrackers to show his appreciation. He also gave each member of the Yuan family a red envelope, and Yuan Junyao's red envelope was extra big.
The Yuan family was flattered, but they could not resist Uncle Hu's extraordinary enthusiasm.
Later, Yuan Junyao kowtowed and served tea, formally paying homage to the godparents.
The Hu family attached great importance to this new godparent relationship. After Yuan Junyao kowtowed to Uncle Hu, she also visited each of her brothers' homes, and each brother gave her a red envelope.
After a series of scams, Yuan Junyao received six red envelopes and a group of little kids following her and chasing her, calling her auntie and grandma.
Yuan Junyao took out a lot of candies and snacks from the secret compartment of the carriage and distributed them to them. She was feeling lucky that she had stockpiled a lot of things in her space.
The lunch was very sumptuous. Because there were so many people, we divided it into three tables, two for adults and one for the children alone. There were more than twenty dishes on each table.
Fortunately, there are so many people, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to cook so many dishes. Grandpa Hu has four daughters-in-law and three granddaughters-in-law, a total of seven people cooking.
During this meal, Uncle Hu and Yuan Shisheng drank a lot of wine. They were dizzy when walking and their speech was slurred.
Yuan Junyao didn't care about them today, and they drank until they passed out.
After settling the two drunken people, Hu Changping specifically found her and asked, "Little sister, Dad said you want to build a house and drew the blueprints yourself. When do you plan to start building it?"
Yuan Junyao quickly took out the blueprint and handed it to him. "Brother, please take a look at it and see if it's feasible. I hope you can help me improve it if there are any shortcomings."
Hu Changping took the blueprint, and Hu Changan and Hu Changlin immediately came over. The three of them couldn't take their eyes off the blueprint as soon as they saw it.
This is different from the houses they usually build, but it looks good.
"Little sister, I'll take care of all the bricks and tiles you need to build your house." Hu Changyun patted his chest and promised, "I'll definitely charge you the lowest price, even if you buy it for free."
"Thank you, fourth brother." Yuan Junyao smiled gratefully.
In this way, she could hand over the task of building the house to her brothers and then she could completely let go.
Seeing the three people staring at the blueprints, Yuan Junyao asked nervously, "How is it? Can you build it?"
This was the first time she had drawn this kind of drawing, but it was entirely based on her own ideas.
"Okay, I'll perfect the drainage direction for you later."
Hu Changping was the oldest and most experienced. He praised, "Your design is excellent. Can you sell me this blueprint? We can build your house for you and charge you half the price!"
There are many craftsmen like them in the whole town, and even more of them form partnerships and teams.
The brothers work in harmony with each other and have fewer conflicts than outsiders, so they can do business for a long time. Moreover, the blue brick factory belongs to them, so the business is better because it can be cheaper.
Their house drawings were passed down from their fathers, but they will gradually become obsolete over time, so it is also very important to improve and innovate the design of the house layout.
When most people build a house, they don't know much about the layout and appearance of the house. They rely entirely on their own drawings or visit other people's houses to see what they look like.
So sometimes when you design a hit product and people take a fancy to it, it will become famous throughout the surrounding area and your business will boom.
Their business has been bad in recent years.
There was a craftsman who went to the capital with his relatives. After he came back, the house he designed took away a lot of their business.
If he hadn't charged so much for the drawings, they wouldn't have had a chance to make a living.
