Chapter 82 - 0082: Choosing a Homestead 2_1
The residential plot of land was quite large, at a glance, it had the size of two or three hundred square meters, square-shaped. Currently, it backs onto the main road, bordered by a pond on the south, and at the back as well as on the east, there’s a large river flowing from the northwest towards the southeast and then turning eastward. Most residents of the Wanglou Brigade lived on the east of the river and on the south side of the east bank. This made the cowshed seem somewhat secluded.
But Feng Qingxue felt that this was suitable.
She, who carried the secret of interdimensional space, had no intention of living where there are many residents. If there were households all around, the scent of meat dishes she secretly prepared from time to time could easily attract unwanted attention.
Besides, staying near the cowshed would make it convenient to take care of Father Lu and the two children.
Most importantly, the manure pit of the livestock was built on the west of the cowshed. Building the house on the east of the cowshed would be the best arrangement.
How could Lu Jiang not understand Feng Qingxue’s intention of choosing to build the house near the cowshed? His eyes unintentionally showed more tenderness. "Okay, let’s build the house here. Just tell Uncle about it and ask him to approve. I have a comrade who was assigned to a local coal plant after returning from the military. His nephew works in a kiln. Before I left, I invited them for a meal, so I might be able to get some bricks and tiles from them."
Compared with a straw hut, Feng Qingxue, of course, preferred a brick-tile house.
Apart from other reasons, brick-tile houses don’t need yearly maintenance and the roofs don’t need the straw replaced every year.
