Chapter 368 Zhuangzi's new look

"We don't know what kind of blessing we have achieved to meet such a good master. I hope the girl has a smooth life and a long life. We will always be her slaves and don't be resold again."

Everyone felt concerned and nodded in agreement.

The county seat is quite far from Zhuangzi, but the men are reluctant to spend money to ride in a carriage. Everyone walks back to the carriage and walks all the way back.

Fortunately, it was not late yet, and by the time they reached Zhuangzi, it would be dinner time.

"Dad, are you back?"

The boy guarding the village gate is the eldest son who has enough money. He is sixteen years old this year. When he saw his father, he shouted in surprise and ran inside, shouting: "They are back, they are back. My dad

They're back."

"This stinky boy." Qian Yousheng laughed and cursed, closed the door of the village, and followed everyone inside.

After bypassing the main house and walking a little further inside, down the slope, you can see their village.

But at this glance, everyone was stunned.

It turns out that there is a muddy road on Zhuangzi. Even on a sunny day, the road is still muddy like when it rains. On both sides of the road are low and uneven bamboo fence houses, and the thatch covered outside is blown by the wind.

Due to the rain, it has already turned moldy and black. Coupled with the raising of chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, the whole village has an unpleasant smell all year round.

But what do they see now?

The original muddy road has now turned into a bluestone road. The road is very wide and can accommodate three or four carriages.

On both sides of the road, there are rows of neatly built houses. The houses are as if they were measured with a ruler, with the same size, shape, and orientation. They all face north and south, with yards in front and mountain-style tile roofs.

, mud brick wall.

These houses are in rows on the east and west sides, distributed on both sides of the road. There are three houses in each row. The back row is separated from the front row by a small road, which is very neat and beautiful.

"This, this..." Shuanzi said to Dazhu, "Pinch me to see if I'm dreaming."

Dazhu was also hesitant in his dream. After hearing what Shuanzi said, he pinched Shuanzi unceremoniously.

"Hiss..." Shuanzi gasped in pain, but instead of being angry, he grinned, "Haha, it hurts, it's not a dream, it's really not a dream."

At this time, it was the time when every family was cooking dinner, and everyone was at home. After the son with enough money passed by, he called all the way over, and everyone who heard it came out of the house one after another.

Then I saw a group of men standing stupidly at the entrance of the village.

When Qian Duoduo saw this, his pride immediately overcame his concern and worry for his two sons, and he smiled at the men: "What's wrong? Do you no longer recognize home?"

Qian Youyu took a few steps forward: "Dad, this, this..." He pointed at the house, "How come it has only been two months and the house has been built? And didn't you say..."

He didn't say any more, but everyone in Zhuangzi knew what he wanted to say.

When Zhao Ruxi said he could borrow wood to build a house for them, two factions formed in the village.

One group was overjoyed and immediately started making mud bricks and beating stones; the other group was worried that they would not be able to repay their debts and would be sold when the time came, so they would rather live in low-rise houses than borrow money.

For example, Mrs. Li's family has no strong labor force. The only ones who can work are her daughter-in-law and 12-year-old grandson. It is difficult to support herself and she has no ability to repay debts, so she does not plan to build a new house.

At that time, Qian Duoduo told Housekeeper Zhou about the matter, and Housekeeper Zhou asked the girl. The girl said that if she was willing to pay on credit, she could give her credit, and if she didn't want to, she didn't have to force it. But those who built the house had to follow her plan.

So half of the people in Zhuangzi planned to build houses, and the others did not want to change the status quo.

But now all the old houses are gone, replaced by tall mud houses.

"Haha, do you see? This is our house." Qian Duoduo pointed to the house in the front row and smiled, "We were the first to build it. The ones in the back rows will follow after we finish building. As a result, those who hesitated

When I saw how good the house was, I immediately changed my mind."

"When most of the people moved into the new house, those who were least willing to do so were also shaken. Butler Zhou told everyone that the girl would let everyone make more money and not pay back debts, so everyone in Zhuangzi built new houses."

"That's great." Qian Yousheng looked at the house and said with emotion, "The girl is such a good person."

"That's right." As the leader of the village, Qian Duoduo is most concerned about the safety of these people.

He asked: "Did you all come back safely? Did nothing happen on the way?"

"Everyone came back safely. Although there were twists and turns on the road, it was nothing serious," Qian Youyu said.

While the father and son were talking, everyone else met with their relatives, and everyone was explaining about the house.

When Qian Duoduo heard that everyone was safe, his heart dropped into his stomach.

Seeing that the old woman and her daughter-in-law had come out at this time, she quickly called to her two sons and said, "Come on, hurry into the house. I'll ask your mother to cook more dishes, and let's celebrate."

When Qian Youyu and Qian Yousheng entered their new house, they saw that the yard in front was firmly plowed and flat. From the yard, the house was taller and the two-open door looked very grand.

Entering through the door, there is a hall in the middle, with two side rooms on each side, which are very spacious, bright, dry and comfortable.

Qian Duoduo pointed to the other two houses and said, "Those two are yours, one for each of you."

Qian Youyu and Qian Yousheng exclaimed: "We have it too?"

Because the original bamboo fence house was too short and too small, they got married again, so they each built a bamboo fence house outside, which was regarded as separation from their parents.

Nowadays, in such a big house with many rooms, they thought they would share this house with their parents. They really didn't expect that they could own one alone.

"Didn't you tell me when you left that the girl promised to give you ten taels of silver a month? It doesn't cost much to build this house. The stones used for the foundation were laid on the mountain before, and the mud bricks were made by yourself.

The only things that cost money are the wood used for the house and the food that was taken care of during the construction."

"I thought, Miss Renyi, since she promised so much money, she will definitely give it to you. We have so much money, it would be best to build two more houses. In the future, you will be able to accommodate more children."

The brothers couldn't restrain their excitement, put down their luggage and ran out to see their house.

It took them a while before they came back and asked, "Dad, how could you build such a house?" It was completely different from their usual houses.

"I planned to build a total of seven houses, three in the main house and two in the east and west. You two brothers will share a courtyard with us. But when the girl found out, she told me about the way of building this house. This is
