Chapter 108: Chapter 90: Going to Work (Two Chapters Combined)_4

"You little brat, are you rebelling? This means your father has become wishy-washy too. Your dad, I have a real man’s temper, not like Xiao Wu. In my opinion, it’s your mom who raised Xiao Wu like a girl. Right, what are your plans for that courtyard? You must have heard from Xiao Wu. If you move to the county, there will be no one living here. Why don’t we just build a simple three-to-five-room house?"

Zhang Guoqiang shook his head, "Like those thatched houses in the village? No, just leave it as it is. After discussing with Xiao Wu, it won’t cost much. Besides, this is our hometown, not far from the county. You and mom are here, we should come back often. If I go to the county, I definitely can’t afford to buy a house. Renting a small room will feel cramped, so I’ll come back and stay. There’s also vacation time, the house won’t be empty. When we have more kids, it’ll be spacious. Plus, we can grow some grains and vegetables in the backyard; relying solely on what’s supplied in the city won’t do."

Mr. Zhang nodded, "That’s a good way to think about it. In the city, even a single green onion costs money. You can grow them, and your mom and I will take care of them. Over the year, we’ll gather a fair amount. You should arrange things well, and if your wife’s job isn’t set yet, she can take care of the home.

After work, I’ll talk to the team leader about building the courtyard and find people to cut stone. We need to let him know early. Otherwise, if everyone in the village goes to help us, he’ll have to rearrange the farm work. Our family won’t be working in the fields for now, and there’s not much to do during the off-season. Your mom and your wife still need to prepare food."

"I’ve already found someone for the stone-cutting. They’ll start tomorrow. I’ve talked to Third Grandpa about it. These days, without fieldwork, I’ve made arrangements. I’ve secured the timber for the two courtyard beams, apart from what we have at home; I borrowed some instead of buying. We’ll return it once Xiao Wu and I cut some from the mountain.
