There is a large open space behind the house, and a livestock house is designed in the east side. A modified public toilet is built in the west direction. It is divided into men's and women's toilets and can be accessed from two different directions. There is also a modified public toilet in front of the house. A sink.
"This two-story building of yours is very well designed. Old man, I'm jealous of it. If you have money, I'd still suggest you build it as a two-story building. The old man has never thought about the drainage pipes you drew after building a house all his life."
Ji Qingyao felt ashamed. This was the design of later generations of architectural masters, and she was just borrowing it.
"Girl Qingyao, your yard is so well done that it makes my uncle feel itchy to see it. Let Mr. Fan calculate the cost for you first. If you have enough money, I will also suggest that you build it like this. If not, It depends on how much the difference is. If conditions permit, I can lend it to you first."
When Ji Qingyao heard this, she was surprised at first, and then moved. She had only been in Xiaoxi Village for a few days, but the village chief and Mr. Jiang treated her sincerely.
"Uncle, this is not about money. Didn't you say before that I was an orphan and couldn't build a second floor?"
"Haha, you see, uncle is an old fool. I went to the county town this morning and told the county magistrate about your fight against big insects. The county magistrate also went to Yipinxuan to verify it and saw the tiger skin. He immediately Just give it as a reward if you agree that your house can be built with a second floor. This is the approval document."
Pei Ningyuan scolded a certain unreliable bastard in his heart. He hadn't seen him for several years. He was tall and tall, but he was so elusive that he didn't worry about whether he would appear suddenly. It scares an old man like him.
Thinking of the morning when he saw the approval document from the government office, his jaw almost dropped. The boy from the Pei family went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. He thought that the child was dead after leaving for six years, but he never expected that he was not only living well. Yes, it still looks like it.
Recalling that he asked Pei boy why he helped this girl earlier, he said it was to repay the kindness of saving his life. He said that this girl saved him a few years ago, which aroused his old man's gossip heart. Who knows, no matter how many times this boy is told, he is just a gossip. Gourd said no more.
What's even more amazing is that Qingyao bought the southern hillside, so he bought another hillside next to it. He also said that the house he built would be the same as the girl's, so they left two hundred taels of silver and left.
If it weren't for the banknote and the approval document, Pei Ningyuan would have thought he had seen a ghost this morning.
In order to make the play more realistic, he still went to the town in the morning, drank a lot of water in a teahouse and looked at the village when he came back around the time.
After Pei Ningyuan finished speaking, he handed a piece of paper to Ji Qingyao. She took it and looked at it suspiciously. The red seal on it was the official seal. The meaning was similar to what the village chief said. He said that the county originally had restrictions on hunters who hunted big insects. The fifty-tael reward is now exchanged for the approval document for building a house.
Ji Qingyao didn't care about fifty taels of silver. She could earn it based on her skills. The important thing was that she could build the house of her choice.
"Uncle, this...this..." Ji Qingyao was really moved, her heart was soft, and her eyes were a little sore.
"Oh, you girl, you deserve this. It's just a girl. If you build such a big house, you can't take it with you when you get married."
Several people present were stunned when they heard Pei Ningyuan's words. Everyone only thought about the good house and the design, but they didn't expect that Ji Qingyao had reached the age of marriage.
"Uncle, I don't plan to get married for the time being. I want a suitable son-in-law to come to my door. I won't be able to marry to another village within a few years. After all, I still have to take care of Pei Linyun's family. I am getting married in this situation. There is no good life anymore, so the best way is to recruit a son-in-law."
The people present looked at each other after hearing this. These days, people will only send their sons to find a son-in-law unless they are really unable to survive. It is not always possible to find a good son-in-law who comes to the house.
"Uncle, we can build a two-story building. There are still many things to do later. Let's finalize the location of the house first. If there are any details that need to be improved, we will have to trouble Uncle and Mr. Fan. As for the blue bricks and fireproof materials, etc. I don’t understand either, all this has to trouble you two elders, and of course third brother Pei and you.”
Ji Qingyao thought for a while and finally added, "Mr. Fan, if you are willing, I would like to outsource the work and materials for you. I am only responsible for paying. If there are any problems with the setup, we can just communicate with each other."
Pei Ningyuan: "Girl, you are planning to be a hands-off shopkeeper."
Ji Qingyao touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and said, "Uncle, you also know that almost all the houses will be built by men. I am a woman, always trying to get in among the men and causing trouble for nothing. And don't I want to go hunting in the mountains?" You can’t just sit back and have nothing.”
