A wooden board covered half of it, while displaying the other half. The fish was kept inside, and could be scooped out for cooking whenever they wanted. There was an exit below the sink for changing water.

The wide ground in the backyard of the patio was full of flat green bricks that were spliced seamlessly. It was very convenient to dry the recovered rice, harvested taro, corn, and beans for later use.

A shed had been built for the chicken coop, and the duck coop on the other side of the backyard. Further back, there was a one-person-high wall, as well as a s.p.a.cious cowshed.

Ms. Fang had decided to raise a cow, and a donkey. She also had another cart built, so that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan could travel into the town comfortably without having to worry.

The first section of the family’s life was getting better and better!

Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu were taking a walk around, looking really happy.

When flowers and trees grew in spring, they could open some areas to grow vegetables, and the yard would flourish even more.

Ms. Xu was roaming in her new, broad room, touching the glazed window and the furniture, looking at the bricks on the ground, smiling constantly.

Now, her daughter and son had separate rooms too, and her room with her husband was enormous, with all kinds of furniture and a large s.p.a.ce. That made her feel so happy.

More importantly, they did not spend any personal money to do any of this. All the things inside the room were bought from the shared savings, which made her feel really glad as well.

Eldest Uncle was glad too. But he found it to be incredible. ‘You sold the plants

and gained this much? Are the plants so valuable these days?”

He did not spend any money nor was in charge of handling the money, but he could tell that the gla.s.s on the windows was quite expensive.

Ms. Fang did not want to discuss this topic with him. The house was built and he had moved in, what else could he say?

“Ms. Qiao offered some help. She said that the house should be well built so we could live a more comfortable life. Look at what we have got?”

Eldest Uncle sighed and had nothing to say.

His brothers were angry about the whole episode, and they did not even greet him. He knew what they were thinking.

True, building a house was too much of a waste, and if they could save some money, he could have offered some help to his brothers too. But they did not do so.

That was why his brothers were so displeased inside the heart.

But Ms. Qiao offered the same reason after which he would have nothing to say.

Ms. Qiao did not stop repeating her words. “No nephew’s wife supported the uncle’s family. Ihat would turn us into a laughing stock!”

They were all glad on the moving day. Qiao Xuan prepared some food.

Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni went into the town and bought some meat and tofu home.

Qiao Xuan picked some nice-looking mushrooms, chopped some meat, added some scallions and seasonings and made a dish of mushrooms with meat.

Ms. Xu ground some rice and made a dish called ribs with rice flour.

Braised pork belly, stewed pork belly with soybeans, peanuts, and lotus seeds, stir-fried pork liver with green onions, and sauerkraut and miscellaneous fish pot were cooked as well.

Finally, sugar-coated yams, scallions, tofu and garlic vegetables were all put on the s.p.a.cious and clean dining room, giving out a wonderful fragrance.

Due to the move into the new house, Qiao Xuan had prepared a jar of wine as well.

It was a happy day for everyone!
