My Gentleman Reborn

Chapter 42 Building a House

When the fish soup was cooked, He Yuzhou half-forced Aunt Guan to fill half of it back, and he filled the rest with half, and came to Zhao's family with the remaining half of the fish marinated.

Staying at the gate of the courtyard, He Yuzhou didn't know whether to go in or not.

Aunt Zhao has a deep hostility towards him, and it might not be appropriate for him to go in and out of the first uncle's house again when such rumors are made.

But this fish... what to do?

"Sister Zhou?" Just as He Yuzhou was in distress, a childish voice came from behind him, and when He Yuzhou turned his head, it was Zhao Xiaoqing, dressed as a student, coming from outside.

"Sister Zhou wants to find her father? Why don't you go in?" Zhao Xiaoqing asked the little adult.

He Yuzhou froze for a moment, smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Xiaoqing pushed open the small bamboo door made of the fence and said, "Come in, Sister Zhou."

"..." He Yuzhou was silent, stopped at the same spot, thought for a while, looked at Zhao Xiaoqing and said, "Well... I suddenly remembered something, I have to go back first, Xiaoqing can help take this thing in and give it to Aunt Zhao ...is your mother?"

Zhao Xiaoqing was taken aback for a moment, did not answer, and looked suspiciously at the basket He Yuzhou was carrying, and He Yuzhou froze in place.

"Xiaoqing? Are you back? Who are you talking to?" Aunt Zhao's voice or faint footsteps came from inside the room.

He Yuzhou was startled, and hastily stuffed the basket with things into Zhao Xiaoqing's hand, saying: "This... just trouble Xiaoqing, next time you come to my house, I will treat you to delicious snacks."

After speaking in a hurry, He Yuzhou left, rather fled.

Zhao Xiaoqing stared at his back and blinked suspiciously, and finally responded inside, carrying a basket into the door.

The house finally started construction after half a month.

Because the money was sufficient, He Yuzhou did not wrong himself, drew a style of a courtyard house, took the drawn blueprint, and asked the craftsman who built the house to build it according to his requirements.

First, there must be a fence outside. The fence doesn't need to be too high, but it can stop ordinary beasts and villains.

The wall is quadrangular, and the layout inside is built according to the courtyard.

Entering the gate is the yard, through the front yard is the hall, and connecting the hall is the main room. Next to the main room is an empty room, and a kitchen is built on the west side. Considering the needs, He Yuzhou asked to build two small compartments next to the kitchen. He Yuzhou plans to Use it for bathing, and plan to keep one for spare.

Thinking of Lu Zhuoxi's words, He Yuzhou built a side room on the east side alone, and built a side room beside the side room.

The last and most difficult thing is the toilet.

With the experience in thatched huts, He Yuzhou feels that the toilet can't be used for anything.

In fact, most of the houses built by the people here are made of mud and wood. A courtyard like He Yuzhou is probably comparable to the old house of the He family, but the courtyard of He Yuzhou is much smaller than the old house of the He family.

Most of the toilets are like thatched huts. They build a compartment with a big hole inside and boards on it, so it is considered a toilet. Even for better people, like the Zhao family, the toilet is just a hole dug in Outside, two Gao Lei piled up in the cubicle, and dug a path obliquely to let the feces and the like slide to the cesspool outside. It would be better than having a board on the pit, but in fact it would still stink. The taste is overwhelming.

He Yuzhou didn't want such a toilet. He had stayed in other worlds, and the toilets there were clean. That kind of toilet was his ideal.

But the materials here are limited, He Yuzhou can only think of a way, let the pottery maker fire the pipes, bury the pipes in the ground, dig the cesspool farther, and use these pipes to lead to the cesspool.

He thought that if flowers with a stronger fragrance were planted around the cesspit, the smell should not be so strong.

However, this is costly.

The blue bricks and tiles he uses to build his house are all silver taels from Uncle Zhao.

It turned out that Zhao Yi contacted the material dealers he used to build the house, the material used to build the adobe house. When he saw He Yuzhou's drawing paper and knew that He Yuzhou wanted to build a small courtyard, Zhao Yi immediately withdrew. After throwing away the materials he bought, he went to the town to find someone else to prepare blue bricks and tiles for He Yuzhou.

In his words, there is no one who builds a small courtyard house like an earthen house. If you want to build such a house, you should build it better, and use blue bricks and tiles, and it will last longer.

When He Yuzhou heard about it, he didn't refuse. He really wanted a better house. Since the money was enough, it must be built.

It's just that he doesn't know if he still has the money to pay back Zhao Yi after the construction is completed...

Thinking of this, He Yuzhou's heart warmed, and Uncle Zhao was willing to lend the family's money for him to use like this...

He couldn't help but think of what Mrs. Guan said—then Zhao Yiyi will send you what he has, not to mention the people in the village, even Mrs. Guan will think that he is too kind to you.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhou closed his eyes. He knew that Zhao Yi was just like him. He had never thought about the rumors. Tea, I feel like a confidant, but rumors... no matter how funny they are.

He Yuzhou himself doesn't care about the rumors. He is not a woman, and he doesn't pay much attention to reputation. What he is afraid of is that the rumors will affect Zhao Yi's family. Then Aunt Zhao has obviously misunderstood something. I still remember the last two times. Go to the Zhao family, Aunt Zhao's hostile look.

He Yuzhou sighed, it would be great if he could recover his male body, then these problems would no longer exist.

However...it can't be...his identity as a woman seems to have taken root in the hearts of the villagers.

Due to rumors, in the past half month, He Yuzhou and Zhao Yi had met only a handful of times, and the communication was unprecedentedly rare.

This directly led to the rising relationship between He Yuzhou and Zhao Xiaoqing. When he had something to ask Zhao Yi but didn't care about it, He Yuzhou would go to Zhao Xiaoqing to convey it. This kid is smart and rigorous, and he can always express his meaning completely.

And Zhao Yi also likes to let Zhao Xiaoqing go there to convey his meaning.

After going back and forth, although the two had never met, their relationship was the same as in the past, and they were never unfamiliar. Zhao Xiaoqing, who went back and forth between the two families all day, became even more familiar with He Yuzhou.

This time when building the toilet, He Yuzhou decided not to go through Zhao Yi anymore, he couldn't owe him too much, after all, he didn't have any source of life after all.

Coming to the town alone, He Yuzhou found the porcelain burner and made his own request. It was the first time he received such a job. The shopkeeper went into the house to discuss for a long time before coming out to tell He Yuzhou the price.

A pipe is one tael, and he needs to make six, which is six taels, and the other "strange" container costs five taels, a total of 11 taels, which is already very expensive.

He Yuzhou gritted his teeth and paid the money.

He Yuzhou went to the only blue brick shop in the town, and after asking the price, he found out that the blue bricks in his house cost at least 30 taels, and the total cost of the tiles was about 50 taels. And other building materials...

He Yuzhou was deeply shocked by the price. At first, he thought that with more than 100 taels, it would be no problem to make less furniture and make the house more beautiful. Unexpectedly, the building materials alone cost so much silver taels. If it weren't for Uncle Zhao Lend him... Then he definitely can't be so extravagant...

He Yuzhou was grateful to Uncle Zhao.

His house has already started construction, and the people who started the construction were invited by Guan Dahai, all of whom are good friends from the same village. Because the house built is small, only six big men were hired, plus Big Brother Cong and Big Brother Guan. Eight people.
