Chapter 40:

Xiao Manan

The house doesn’t have to be too big, just big enough to accommodate their family of nine for the time being. If it doesn’t work, they can expand it later. Anyway, they plan to buy all the nearby land.

After a period of observation, Murong Lingran discovered that the houses here were similar to modern courtyard houses, but they were basically made of mud. Of course, there are also more than ten households with blue brick houses.

She just made a few small requests, requesting that all the buildings be made of blue bricks, and that the convenience and washing areas should be improved.

Li Zhuang took it curiously. After seeing the appearance of the house, he nodded and said: "This house is good, and the design of the toilet is novel. A’Zhe, if you believe in me, then I will leave this job to my eldest son."

“He specializes in this, and he also has several good house builders under him, all of whom are from the village. During this period, there is no work anywhere, so they are all doing farm work at home.”

Of course, Murong Zhe had already inquired about his eldest son and knew his character, that’s why he dared to come to visit him. "As for Uncle Zhuang, since I dare to come, I feel relieved, so I will help Uncle Zhuang."

Li Zhuang patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhuang will definitely make sure he builds a beautiful home for you."

A blue brick house is different from building a bamboo house. It takes a lot of time and requires a lot of manpower.

He was worried about the livelihood of the people in the village. He did not expect that being able to work in the village would would even be a possibility. This was him needing to sleep and someone handing him a pillow.

It was indeed the right thing to let A’Zhe and his family come to Lihua Village.

To build a formal house, you need to buy land. Murong Zhe asked about the price of several acres of land near the bamboo house.

Even though it is wasteland, Lihua Village can hardly be regarded as the emperor's foothold, the price was not cheap. One acre of wasteland costs five taels of silver. They had already discussed it and planned to buy the first ten acres of land in one go.

Part of the money would be used for building houses and part is used for planting.

If you want to plant, it would have been best to buy already cultivated land, but at the moment, no one in the village is selling land, and so they had no cultivated land to buy even if they had money.

They had been buying vegetables with money, which was troublesome and expensive. Although they have some money now, it is better to save it.

Moreover, Murong Lingran has space and spiritual spring water, so what she grows is definitely high-quality. ChangQi Shenjun said that eating more of the spiritual spring water will be good for his injuries. It would be too wasteful to use it.

Murong Zhe and Li Zhuang had been discussing for a long time and immediately made up their minds to go to the government as to go through all the formalities.

Murong Lingran hadn’t seen her mother for a long time. Although her father had told her that she was awake, she thought it would be better to meet her once.

So after arriving in the city, Murong Zhe and Li Zhuang were going to the government office to apply for the land deed, and Murong Lingran begged her third brother to take her to Ruyi Embroidery Village.

Xiao Manan was engrossed in embroidering a pair of mandarin ducks playing in water in the backyard of Ruyi Embroidery Village. She heard that the heavy rains in the past few days had flooded many villages, and she kept thinking about it, fearing that something would happen to her family.

Suddenly she heard the steward say that someone was looking for her outside the door. She thought it was her husband. After thanking the steward, she got up and opened the door to the backyard.

“Mother!” Murong Lingran didn’t wait for her mother to see her and threw herself directly into her arms.

From other people's perspective, it had only been just a month since she hadn't seen her mother, but to her, it had been over twenty years, and no one knew how much she had missed her mother.

Xiao Manan was stunned by the sudden momentum and almost lost her balance. Seeing the person in her arms she quickly came to her senses, she squatted down excitedly and said: "A’Ran, are you really awake? Are you really okay? Is your head okay? How is your injury? Does it still hurt?"
