Tang Jiancheng came to the third brother's house.
Third sister-in-law Tufeng and the children were all gathered around the pig pen. When they saw Tang Jiancheng coming, they all said hello to him.
Tang Jiancheng asked: "Third sister-in-law, have you sent someone to the rural animal husbandry station to find a veterinarian?"
"Call Er Tong." Tu Feng replied.
Ertong, the second son of the third brother.
Boys in rural areas will choose a nickname in order to make a living.
Tang Jiancheng nodded and looked at the two cows in the pigsty. One of them seemed particularly agitated, walking around in the pigsty and making mooing sounds from time to time. The other was much quieter, lying on the dry ground. On the straw, chewing straw leisurely.
"Third sister-in-law, this pigsty is getting a bit cold. If you want to give birth to calves, you'd better put in a few pots of fire to raise the temperature here." Tang Jiancheng looked around, "It's best to temporarily close those windows. Cover up first, it’s snowing outside again, and you want to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.”
"OK."
Tifeng shouted, "Big bucket, three buckets, you go get a brazier and make it burn hotter. Four buckets, five buckets, you go find some sacks and cover the windows. Don't cover them all, but leave some gaps." and light.”
"Okay, Mom."
The four boys walked away quickly.
"It looks like it will take some time. Third sister-in-law, I'll go back first. I'm still making Laba porridge at home." Tang Jiancheng said.
"I've had a hard time at home, why don't you have a drink at my house?" Tufeng said with a smile.
"No, I have some at home. I'll come back after drinking."
The cow is still brewing, and there is no use for Tang Jiancheng to stay here. He might as well go back and drink Laba porridge with the children. After all, this festival is a relatively important festival in Daping Village.
As soon as he walked out of the pig pen, he saw Tang Jianbo and Tang Linbao walking quickly one behind the other.
"Grandpa Jiancheng, are you here so soon?"
Seeing Tang Jiancheng, Tang Linbao started to say hello from a distance, calling his grandfather so loud and clear that Tang Jiancheng didn't even know what to say.
Tang Linbao walked over quickly, took out a cigarette from his arms and gave it to Tang Jiancheng. Tang Jiancheng didn't take it, so he handed the cigarette to Tang Jianbo. Tang Jianbo took it directly. Tang Linbao smoked another cigarette and held it in his mouth. He lit fire in his mouth, and then asked: "Grandpa Jiancheng, have the cows given birth? Are they going to give birth to both ends, or just one?"
"Currently, it looks like one end, and the other end is still very calm, with no signs of giving birth, but it's hard to say."
Tang Jiancheng said, "Third brother, I think the cow has just had an attack and will take some time to give birth, so I plan to go back and drink Laba porridge before coming back."
"Okay, I'll call you when it's about to give birth." Tang Jianbo nodded.
Tang Jiancheng returned to his home.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw Tang Genshui coming out of his house. Tang Jiancheng shouted quickly: "Dad, it's snowing again. Where are you going? Why don't you sit at home for a while?"
Tang Genshui said: "I came to see you. Fangfang said you went to your third brother's house. I was about to go find you."
"What's up?"
Tang Jiancheng put his arms around his father's shoulders and pushed him home. "It's too cold outside. Let's talk inside."
Tang Genshui said: "No, I'm just asking you if you have time. Come with me to find the village party secretary and find a homestead for your brother. I didn't have any money before, so I didn't think about it. I've made some money with you recently. , So, I want to finalize this matter before the year, and then we can directly hire people to build the house after the year.”
"This is a big deal. Dad, please wait a moment and I'll go talk to Fangfang."
Tang Jiancheng walked quickly into the house.
I saw a whole family gathered around the kitchen fire, all staring at the Laba porridge. Xiaoqi even shouted: "Sister, are you ready? I'm feeling hungry. How about you let me have a taste first?"
"The porridge has to be boiled before it tastes delicious! Wait patiently for a while!" The elder sister said while stirring.
"Dad, grandpa was looking for you just now."
As soon as Tang Jiancheng walked into the kitchen, his second sister saw him.
"I met him."
Tang Jiancheng came to Liu Fangfang, grabbed Xiaojiu's little hand in her arms, put it to her mouth, kissed it, and then said, "I will accompany dad to the village party secretary to talk about the homestead later."
"Homestead? You want to build a new house?" Liu Fangfang looked surprised.
"Yes, what do you think is better?" Tang Jiancheng asked.
Liu Fangfang said: "You just have to make the decision."
"good."
Tang Jiancheng walked out of the house and followed Tang Genshui to the village party secretary's house.
The village party secretary is also making Laba porridge.
However, their porridge only has two ingredients, rice and red beans, but the quantity is quite large, making it a big pot.
There is no way, families with a large population will basically cook such a big pot, otherwise, there will not be enough points!
"Is the party secretary at home?"
Tang Genshui shouted outside the house.
"Brother Genshui, Jiancheng, why are you here? Is something wrong?"
The village party secretary heard the sound and came out of the house.
"My family is over 18 years old. I plan to marry a wife next year, but I don't have a wedding house yet, so I want to come to the branch secretary to discuss and approve a homestead." Tang Genshuidao.
"This is a good thing!"
The village party secretary smiled and said, "Is there any place you are interested in?"
"There are three places, one is next to my third child, one is the open space next to Jiancheng's house, and the other is the open space behind my house." Tang Genshui said, "Party Secretary, which place do you think is suitable?"
The village party secretary thought for a moment and said: "Brother Genshui, I have just been the village party secretary for a short time, and I am not very familiar with the village's policy on approving homesteads. Can you please wait two days and wait until I ask clearly before I go?" Looking for you?"
"That's okay. If you're busy, I won't bother you."
Tang Genshui was about to leave, and Tang Jiancheng said quickly: "Party secretary, and I, too. I also want to find a new homestead. Moreover, I want a larger area."
The village party secretary and Tang Genshui both looked at him in surprise. The village party secretary asked, "Don't you have a house now? Besides, all the girls you give birth to will get married in the future, so what kind of house do you want to build?"
"It is precisely because they are daughters that we have to build it!"
Tang Jiancheng said, "Look, if it's a son, the family will definitely be separated in the future. When the time comes, each family will live in their own homes, then my small house will be enough. But after the daughter gets married, there will be no separation of families. If they come back with their husbands and children, I won’t be able to live in my little house!”
"So, I have to build a big house, at least to ensure that each daughter has a room in the future, right? Otherwise, what if they come back together with their families? In addition, let's count the yard. , kitchen, pigsty, toilet, etc., it should be at least about 400 square meters, right?"
"Four hundred square meters?!"
The village party secretary and Tang Genshui were both shocked.
Nowadays, many people's houses are only 400 to 50 square meters, and if they are more spacious, they can be more than 80 square meters at most, but Tang Jiancheng's opening is only 400 square meters, which is indeed a bit beyond imagination.
"Let's not talk about whether such a large area can be approved. Even if it can be approved, do you have so much money to build it? Materials, labor, painting, furniture, none of which are free of charge?" said the village party secretary.
