【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

"Oh, this is really speechless. It's like the whole family is just food for the male protagonist." Yun Xi's face was full of disgust. "This kind of person is actually the male protagonist. I've never been so unscrupulous in order to complete a mission. Damn it!"

"Yeah, a rubbish plot written by a rubbish author."

"This grudge is huge. I will remember him and will not let him go."

Just when the construction of the house was in full swing, Guohong's mother came from the Zhao family. She didn't dare to find Yunxi, so she took her eldest daughter-in-law out to talk in private.

"Why did your mother come to see you?"

"They said they would lend money for my nephew's schooling. When my family was in trouble, they didn't help me a penny and even wanted me to remarry. Now that my family is rich, they are sticking with me again. How could I have such a family?" Zhao Guohong was dejected.

"It's okay. You're a member of the Zhou family now. They will protect you. Don't worry." Yun Xi comforted her. "Okay, let's go eat. I know you like pig ears, so I saved some for you."

"Wow, thanks mom."

In order to comfort her daughter-in-law's wounded heart, Yun Xi specially killed a chicken and made soup.

Cordyceps chicken soup, fried chicken, steamed prawns, fried squid, steamed fish, cold-mixed pig ears, winter melon and pork ribs soup, six dishes and one soup with rice.

There were many people at home and one table couldn't accommodate them all. The adults sat at one table and the children sat at another. They had a big meal. After the meal, Yun Xi asked them to clear the table and prepare for a meeting.

The purpose of the meeting is for everyone to unite as one and live a good life.

Let’s identify our enemies. The first one is Niu Niu’s classmate Fubao. Beware of his voodoo doll.

The second was the group of pirates who caused Zhou Fu and the other man to deviate from their course.

The third one is the big boss who tricked Zhou Guanxue into going to Nanyang.

The fourth one is the Zhao family who are bent on sucking blood from Guohong.

In short, we must be on guard against these four groups of people.

Zhou Fu's face was stern. "No problem, I will collect their information. In short, everyone should not be fooled again. Revenge must be taken. We cannot be framed in vain."

"Okay, let's all disperse."

Datou was the agent who recruited workers by saying they would make a lot of money in the south. They were all from nearby villages, but he did such a thing. When Guanxue just came back, the family went to smash Datou's house, but Datou did not show up. No one knew where he went. After all, the monk can run away, but the temple cannot.

At this time, they were still living in the old house. A new house was being built ten meters to the north, and a new house was also being built ten meters to the south.

After the new house is built, the old house can be demolished. The two two-story buildings are 28 meters apart. In theory, the old house can be kept as a warehouse, but it is not necessary. The threshold of the old house is too low. When it rains heavily, water will flood into the house. It is better to level it and use it as a vegetable garden.

Fortunately, the foundation of my house was laid before the freezing weather. The construction team hired two groups of people with the same wages. It felt like a competition. The effect was great. In short, what I built can't be worse than yours, otherwise it will ruin my reputation.

Yun Xi keeps an eye on the progress every day. The two-story building is in the layout of a small Western-style building. There is only one main entrance. Inside the house is a large living room. There are a total of six rooms on the first floor, including a modern kitchen, two bedrooms with bathrooms, a study, a guest room and a utility room.

There are six rooms on the second floor, five of which are bedrooms and one is reserved for Zhou Ran. Each room has a bathroom. This was Yun Xi's strong request. After all, there are both boys and girls in the family. Living together on the second floor is not a big deal when they are young, but it will be very inconvenient when they grow up to take a bath and wash underwear. It is more convenient to take a bath and wash clothes in your own room.

Therefore, the second floor could have had eight rooms, but if each room had a bathroom, the area would have been larger, so only six rooms were built.

There is an extra room for storing miscellaneous items, and there is a large balcony on the south side, which can be used for sunbathing and drying quilts. The attic on the third floor is made into a study. This attic is not small, and it is equipped with bookshelves and sofas. If you want to study alone, you can go to your bedroom. If you want to look up information or study together, you can go to the attic. The slope of the stairs is not very steep, which is quite convenient.

In short, such a pattern was very novel in the surrounding area and became commonplace in later generations.

The house was built before the snow fell in winter, and there was no time to decorate it, so it was put aside for now and will be renovated next year.

Once the winter snow starts falling, it seems like it can't stop. The sky and the earth are the same color, with wind and snow. The children are happily making snowmen and playing snowball fights in the yard, but they don't know that traveling becomes extremely difficult in such weather. In order to sell braised meat well, Zhou Tingyu rented a house with running water on Xiulin Street and took his wife to do business outside.

Braised pork will definitely sell well during the Chinese New Year, and Zhou Tingyu wants to make more money while there are no competitors in the market.

In the second room, Zhou Guanxue was busy recuperating from his injuries, working as a supervisor on the construction site every day. Wang Lili had been full of energy since her husband came back, and was responsible for purchasing goods and taking care of the children's lives.

Zhou Fu also had things to do. Every day he would transport the raw materials to his eldest son in the village to help clean them and then come back.

As for Yun Xi, after purchasing the building materials, she is responsible for taking a comprehensive look at the overall situation and checking for omissions and deficiencies every day.

Whenever the construction team has any problems, they always contact her. She is also responsible for the family's food, clothing and daily necessities. In winter, they have to prepare firewood, cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and stock up on goods for the winter. All these things are quite tedious.

Years ago, Yun Xi discussed with Zhou Fu, "I'm going to sell two pearls."

"Can't get the money?"

"Almost. I've already spent 18,000 yuan on the two houses before they're even renovated. I also made a new set of cotton-padded clothes and bedding for everyone in the family, which cost a few hundred yuan. I'll have to spend even more after the New Year. Beds, sofas, desks and benches, wardrobes, washing machines, TVs, bicycles, etc., all need money. In a few years, maybe I'll have to buy a car."

"I'll listen to you. Just keep a good account book and don't be muddleheaded."

Zhou Fu just gave up.

The two white pearls were sold for three hundred yuan, a good price, enough to cover New Year's expenses.

With money and free time, this year's New Year's Day was extremely fulfilling and grand. The braised meat stall was closed from the 28th day of the 12th lunar month to the 20th day of the 1st lunar month. Sales were particularly good on the last day. Zhou Fu sent three times the amount of goods, but it was still not enough to sell. He did not come back in the afternoon and stayed there to help, and stayed in the guesthouse at night.

Yun Xi prepared twenty dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, and she wasn't satisfied with giving the children red envelopes of just fifty or one yuan. She gave each child a whopping two yuan! This delighted the children, who all kowtowed to her and spoke well of her.

Yun Xi felt light-hearted.

After the spring, when the weather was warm and the flowers were blooming, the two construction teams started work early to build the house. Before laying the floor tiles, Yun Xi bought two sets of heating equipment. The radiators were of the Hongye brand, including a boiler, heat circulation pipes and the end radiator.

The hot water produced by burning coal or wood in the boiler flows through pipes to the radiator, so that the house will be warmed up quickly. The hot water will circulate throughout the system and then circulate back to the boiler after cooling.

The principle is very simple, but the cost of laying is very expensive because too many pipes are required. Yun Xi also requires that radiators be installed in every house, so the project is huge and very expensive.
