Chapter 466 Where do you live?
The Taoist priest was very upset. "Have you ever thought about where all these people live?"
"I have certainly thought about that! When we come back, we will buy bricks and tiles, and then we can build a house for them across the valley and let them live there.
And when the time comes, they won’t live with us, so everyone will be at ease.”
Lu Chuan also chimed in, "We brought back some bricks and tiles when we came back today, but Xiaohan's space can't hold them anymore, so we have to go again later."
The Taoist priest asked again, "What about before the house was built? Where did they live? We can't let them build a thatched hut in the valley."
"Hehehe, we have thought about this problem. We will let them sleep separately when the time comes. Aren't there two rooms in the backyard? Let them stay there. If there is no room, we can just vacate the woodshed next to the kitchen in the front yard for them. Anyway, they won't be there for long, so they can always find room if we squeeze in."
The Taoist priest held his forehead and said, "Okay, okay, I've already bought it, this is the only way."
Grandpa Zhao didn't react that much. "It would be a good idea to hire some servants. There are more and more chores at home, and we can't handle it all by ourselves. Now that we have more helpers, we can have a good rest.
Hahaha, you won't have to do farm work anymore, isn't that good?"
Grandpa Zhao patted the Taoist priest on the shoulder to comfort him. The Taoist priest continued, "I didn't say you can't buy it, but you bought so much at once, you must be uncomfortable. Who would buy so much at once?"
Xu Han touched her nose, feeling a little guilty. Well, I didn't control myself this time. The family really doesn't need so many people now, so isn't it just thinking about buying more at once to save money?
And now the situation is getting more and more stable. Xu Han is thinking about doing business in the county town in the future! How can we do without manpower? We are always worried about hiring people from outside. It is better to buy them ourselves!
Grandpa Zhao continued to persuade her, "Not much, not much. Xiaohan must have bought these people for a purpose. It's just that the incident happened suddenly and they have no place to live. What's so difficult about this? When the time comes, we can build two houses first and let them live outside.
It’s still just our family living at home. We have someone to work on and no one to disturb us. What a good thing. If you ask me, Xiaohan bought a good deal.”
The Taoist priest pushed Grandpa Zhao's hand away and said, "Just pamper her!"
After saying that, he walked out. Grandpa Zhao asked quickly, "Where are you going? You're not going to get angry about such a small thing, are you?"
"Didn't you hear them say they would have to go down the mountain to carry bricks soon? Are you going to let them go hungry without cooking for them?"
When they heard that the Taoist priest was going to cook, they knew that he was not really angry and was just saying that.
Hmm? What? Cooking? Thinking of this, the three of them stood up at the same time, looking at each other.
Everyone was thinking about how to stop the Taoist priest. Who would be the one to take the blame? If no one went, they would be the ones to suffer in the end.
Xu Han whispered, "I'm not going. I just got yelled at. He'll definitely be even angrier when he sees me."
Lu Chuan said, "I won't go either. I just spoke up for Xiaohan. If I go there now, I will definitely get a beating."
Just as Grandpa Zhao was about to say something, he heard the Taoist priest outside shouting, "Old Zhao, why haven't you come yet? Do you really expect me to cook for you?"
When Grandpa Zhao heard this, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and went to the kitchen with a look of despair on his face.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan looked at Grandpa Zhao with sympathy, secretly relieved at the same time. They also gave Grandpa Zhao a helpless look.
Grandpa Zhao saw what the couple were doing, lowered his head and laughed, "You two! Behave yourself."
Lu Chuan and Xu Han nodded quickly, and the words "I'm very good" were almost written on their foreheads.
After Grandpa Zhao left, Xu Han went into Mu'er and Ze'er's room, hugged her two sons and kissed them again.
Lu Chuan took advantage of this time to clean up the backyard and the warehouse.
After Xu Han finished lunch, she put the things in the space into the house that Lu Chuan had just cleaned up. She would leave them there temporarily for a while and put them back into the space after the bricks were transported in the afternoon.
As soon as she walked out of the room, Lu Chuan had also finished packing. The two of them hurried down the mountain without even taking a lunch break.
By the time the couple arrived at the place in a hurry, the people transporting bricks and tiles had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw the two of them, he seemed particularly excited, fearing that they would not come. "Finally you are here. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid we would have sent you back."
Lu Chuan said, "I'm really sorry, it's our fault. The village is too far away from here. We hurried over here, and the villagers are still walking behind us. I was afraid that you would get anxious waiting, so I ran here and my clothes are soaked."
Seeing that Lu Chuan was indeed sweating a lot, the man didn't know what to say and started directing others to move bricks and unload goods.
Before leaving, the man looked at the bricks and tiles, which were much more than in the morning, and asked kindly, "Can you move all of these? Do you want me to find someone to help?"
Lu Chuan replied honestly, "No, no, it costs money to hire someone. We can just move it slowly by ourselves. If we can't finish it today, we can move it tomorrow. There are many people in the village, so we can move it twice more."
"That's fine! We've prepared all the tung oil and other things you want. Just go get them tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, big brother. We will pick it up on time tomorrow."
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, the man left. Lu Chuan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he vigilantly asked Xu Han to quickly put the things away.
After packing up their things, the two of them hurried home, and after rushing for a long time, they finally arrived before dark.
Fortunately, it is summer now and it gets dark later, otherwise we would have to walk at night again.
When Grandpa Zhao saw them coming in, he asked, "You're back. Have you finished transporting the stuff?"
"The bricks and tiles have been shipped back. We bought a lot this time, probably enough to build about ten houses. We can build a bigger one when the time comes. If it's not enough, we can buy more."
"Okay, just transport them back. Otherwise, it would be a lot of trouble just to transport the bricks and tiles. This way it will be much more convenient. Now we just have to wait for them to come back and start building the house."
The Taoist priest asked, "Are you going tomorrow?"
Xu Han replied, "Let's go, hehehe, then our family can go together, so that we can show you our newly bought house."
"Okay, I'll go with you guys tomorrow. While I have a few days off, I'll go get familiar with the place. Otherwise, what will I do if I can't find the place later? Hahaha."
"Yes, yes, let's go shopping in the county town when the time comes. Mu'er and Ze'er haven't been to the county town for a long time.
