Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Chapter 11: Who to Buy the House

"Alright, I originally didn't want to let them get away with it. Since that's the case, then forget it. I'll hatch them myself. Anyway, I'm the one who hatches them every year. You can make the decisions about the family. But you should be careful, if they're wild, they won't be in the same groups as the ones we cultivate." Liu Fangmei has received a lot of help from Uncle Dafu. Apart from the Xia family and Song Dazhi's family, the other families have been quite good to her.

"I know. With this mysterious place, I hope I can help people in the circle in a way, as a way to accumulate some good karma for my Tangtang, and hopefully she will recover quickly." Xia Jixuan thought that he was also accumulating good karma for himself, as a way to thank God for letting him have that dream and being able to come back in time to save his daughter.

Even though she can't speak right now, she's still alive, and his wife is alright. That's enough...

"Let's put those two bags of high-gluten flour in here too. Even if they're locked, I don't feel safe leaving them inside. If only you and I can get in here, then it's the safest place. By the way, did you find someone to buy the house when you went out?" Liu Fangmei no longer needed to worry about where to put the two bags of high-gluten flour. She could just put them here and take them out whenever she wanted, without any problems.

“Found him. He’s Uncle Dafu’s nephew, the one who went out to make a living a few years ago and got sick before coming back. There was no place for him in the family. He was just back and his family didn’t even let him in. They just separated him from the family. He’s living in that dilapidated thatched hut at the end of the village now. He doesn’t have a wife. He just has a child with him.” Xia Jixuan knew that Xia Qingchuan was rich, but his family was too cold-hearted. They wouldn’t even let him in the door. They just kicked him out of the house while he was sick and he had a child who had just learned to walk.

In his dream, Xia Qingchuan saved his wife more than once. At that time, he had just returned from military service and was recuperating from his injuries when his wife was frantically searching for their daughter. He couldn't keep an eye on her for a moment, and she ran away. Once, she almost fell into the river, and it was Xia Qingchuan who pulled her back.

Xia Qingchuan is a ruthless man. Although he lives in a dilapidated house, his food, clothing, and daily necessities are much better than those of his large family. His mother has tried to take things from him more than once, but he has chased her away with a fire poker.

That place isn't safe either. Even if there's a door and a lock, a child left unattended can easily be taken advantage of by his mother.

Their house is just right, far away from his mother's yard. If they build a wall around the yard, install a sturdy gate, and lock it, they can let the children play in the yard.

They were all uncles and cousins. He only charged him 60 yuan for the three large rooms and one small room. Xia Qingchuan said that he wanted to make new kang cabinets and other things at home, so these old kang cabinets could be taken over for temporary use.

This way, their family can save some money. With money and this magical space, his wife won't be so anxious in the future.

"Okay, you can settle things as long as you agree. Go out first, go out first..." Liu Fangmei thought she should hurry up and put the two bags of grain in, otherwise she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

“Okay, let’s go out. I’ve already talked to Uncle Dafu about the house over there. We can just go to the brigade leader’s office first thing tomorrow morning to get the certificate and get the official seal. Oh, by the way, after you leave, wife, try to come in yourself…” This is very important.

"How do I try? Tell me first, otherwise I won't know how to try." Liu Fangmei had never tried anything like this before and didn't know how to get in, so she had to ask first.

"Sit down on the kang now, and think about that courtyard you just saw. Try to imagine your body going in, but don't actually go in. See if you can get the things inside. Then try to imagine your whole body going in..." You can't always go in completely, otherwise if someone accidentally sees you, it will bring her utter disaster.

Following her husband's instructions, Liu Fangmei quickly tried both methods of entry and succeeded. She then hurriedly gathered up all the pots and pans on the kang table that didn't belong there, and also put the grain into the warehouse.

They haven't set up a stove outside their house yet, so yesterday's meals were all cooked in Old Xia's big kitchen. They had to wait for everyone else to finish cooking before it was their turn, and they brought their own firewood.

The two sisters-in-law from the eldest and second wives' households in the Xia family were still standing outside watching, worried that they might use the oil and salt from the kitchen. She really disliked this feeling; they had only separated their households yesterday, and there was already a mountain of things to do today, so he simply didn't have time to find someone to help set up the stove.

"Great! Starting tomorrow, I won't cook in that kitchen anymore. I really hate those two from the first and second wives, the way they stare at us while we cook." Liu Fangmei now feels she can cook in here and then take the food out to eat directly. Besides, she can't take the white rice to the main kitchen to cook anyway.

"Okay, but the stove still needs to be built. I'll go see Xia Qingchuan tomorrow. He needs to finish building the courtyard wall while we're moving out." He had just visited Xia Qingchuan. Xia Qingchuan was a straightforward person; after seeing him draw up the layout of his house, he had already arranged the positions of the stove and the wall. He also said that they would go up the mountain the next day to cut down and dry timber for making furniture.

He's already decided who to contact. He can only go see the house tomorrow during the day, otherwise he won't know exactly what needs repairing.

The stove will be built first, and they can use it for now. He has industrial coupons, but he doesn't know if they can buy them in town. Because of the Great Leap Forward, no household has any ironware left.

Now, you need to go through the industrial zone to buy these ironware items in town. The big pot that Old Xia's family had was only after the collective canteen was disbanded. Old Mrs. Xia took it out of the cellar; it was the iron pot she had hidden when they handed it in.

Many households now use earthenware pots because they don't have industrial vouchers. It's also convenient that there's not much stir-frying or stewing meat these days, otherwise these earthenware pots would be really inconvenient to use.

"You don't need to buy them, right? When I looked at the kitchen just now, there were all sorts of big iron pots and pans. You can just go to town and take one from here." Once you have a house, this will be more convenient if you're short on supplies.

"You're so observant, I didn't see it just now. Okay, let me look inside and take one out when we build the stove." It's probably best to build the stove in advance, right? We should buy the pots first, so we can build the stove according to the pots' dimensions.
