Chapter 684: Chapter 684: The Original Wife Sold by Her Husband 30

The bricklayers eat meat every day, and work with strength. After half a month, Yuan Chun’s house is completed; the kang is also built, and the well is dug, only the courtyard wall hasn’t been built yet. Unfortunately, the heavens are not kind, and the first snow of the year has fallen.

Looking at the white snow outside, Yuan Chun said to Mr. Wang, "Dad, let’s wait until spring to build the courtyard wall. You and Big Brother don’t go picking up mountain stones today; with this icy weather, the stones are covered in snow, hard to pick up, and even if you do, you can’t bring them back."

The family’s firewood storage is enough to burn, Mr. Wang and his sons had planned last night to pick mountain stones today to help Yuan Chun build the courtyard wall.

Now that it’s snowing, they can’t go.

Mr. Wang took a puff of his pipe and said, "I’ll go visit your Grandpa Qi."

People in the Northeast don’t go out to work after the first snow, they stay home and hibernate. Wang Mu sat on the heated kang, with a small quilt covering her legs, feeling warm. She was stitching shoes while watching her little grandchildren.

"Niu Niu, don’t go down, it’s cold outside, you can’t go out in the cold wind, you’ll get sick." Seeing her grandniece about to get down, Wang Mu stopped her.

Little Niu Niu, startled, retracted her feet and leaned next to her grandma, sitting together, even putting her little feet under the small quilt, muttering, "Grandma, Niu Niu is very good, Niu Niu won’t go down, won’t get sick, getting sick costs money, mom has no money."

"Oh my, my Niu Niu is so sensible and well-behaved, much more than those naughty brothers of yours." Wang Mu affectionately tossed aside her shoe bottom, and hugged little Niu Niu, kissing her several times.

Yuan Chun was cleaning inside the new house.

The house is completed and needs a good cleaning, fortunately it’s a cement floor, easy to clean. Yuan Chun spent fifty yuan to buy two cartloads of cement, specially asking Fifth Uncle to make the cement floor.

The walls were also plastered with a layer of cement, then whitewashed. Although she spent over a hundred yuan more than expected, the whole house is clean, and Yuan Chun loves it.

Yuan Chun cleaned the entire house and went to her mother’s to bring back firewood, making both kangs warm.

The newly set up heated kang needs two days of burning to dispel the moisture before it can be slept on.

After heating the kangs, Yuan Chun went to Shanwa, the village carpenter’s house. She ordered a full set of furniture there half a month ago.

It was designed by her, including two large wardrobes, two chests of drawers, two large boxes, and a set of dining table and chairs, a wooden sofa, a desk and chair set, a cupboard, as well as some wooden barrels, basins, foot basins, and washbasin stands.

Big and small items, altogether cost her forty-two yuan.

"Sister Yuan Chun, you’re here, your stuff is just missing a sofa. My dad is studying it; it’s his first time making a sofa, he finds it very intriguing and hasn’t started yet."

Yuan Chun laughed and said, "Once the sofa is done, your dad will see its benefits. Maybe in the future, people will come to your dad every day to make sofas."

Sofa, is a necessary piece of furniture in every household in the future.

In fact, she also has sofas stored in her space, but she doesn’t dare to take them out; those sofas are from the future.

Shanwa grinned widely, pleased, "My dad said, your furniture designs are so well done, he wants to buy your blueprints."

"We’re from the same village, if your dad likes them, I’ll just give them to him, no need to buy."

"That’s not okay, if you give them for free, my dad definitely won’t accept them." Shanwa shouted into the house, "Dad, dad, Sister Yuan Chun is here."

"Chunyazi is here."

A man in his fifties came out from the side room.
