Chapter 684 The original wife sold by her husband 30
The bricklayers had meat to eat every day and worked hard. Half a month later, Yuanchun's house was built, the kang was set up, and the well was dug. The only thing left was the courtyard wall. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and the first snow of the year fell.

Looking at the snow outside, Yuanchun said to her father, "Dad, let's wait until next spring to build the courtyard wall. You and your elder brother shouldn't go to pick up rocks today. It's icy and snowy here, and the rocks are all covered with snow. It's hard to pick them up, and even if you pick them up, you can't pull them back."

The firewood stored at home is enough to burn. Wang's father and his sons agreed last night to go to the mountain to collect rocks today to help Yuanchun build the courtyard wall.

It's snowing now, so I can't go.

Wang's father took a puff of his pipe and said, "I'll go to your seventh grandfather's house to take a look."

After the first snow falls, people in Northeast China do not go out to work and stay at home for the winter. The Queen Mother sits on the kang with a small quilt covering her legs, keeping warm. She mends shoes while looking after her little grandchildren.

"Niuniu, don't go out. It's cold outside. You can't go out into the cold wind or you will get sick." Seeing her niece was about to go out, Wang Mu tried to stop her.

Little Niuniu was so scared that she retracted her feet, walked over, sat next to her grandma, and put her feet under the quilt, mumbling, "Grandma, Niuniu is very good, Niuniu won't go down, she won't be sick, being sick costs money, and mommy has no money."

"Oh my, how come my Niuniu is so well-behaved and sensible? She is much better than those naughty brothers of yours." The Queen Mother was so delighted that she threw away the thousand-layer sole, hugged little Niuniu and kissed her several times.

Yuanchun is cleaning the new house.

After the house was built, it needed to be cleaned thoroughly. Fortunately, it had a cement floor, which was easy to clean. Yuanchun spent fifty yuan to buy two trucks of cement and specially asked her fifth uncle to make the cement floor.

The walls were also plastered with a layer of cement and painted white. Although it cost more than a hundred yuan more than expected, the whole house was clean, which Yuanchun found very attractive.

Yuanchun cleaned the whole house and went to her mother's house to get some firewood to heat up both kangs.

The newly built kang needs to be heated for two days to remove the moisture before sleeping. After the kang is heated, Yuanchun goes to the home of Shanwazi, a carpenter in the village. She ordered a full set of furniture from Shanwazi half a month ago.

It was a blueprint she drew. There were two large wardrobes, two chests of drawers, two large boxes, a set of dining tables and chairs, a set of wooden sofas, a set of desks and chairs, a cupboard, and some wooden barrels, wooden basins, foot basins, washbasin racks, etc.

All in all, it cost her forty-two dollars.

"Sister Yuanchun, you're here. You're still missing a sofa. My dad is working on it. It's the first time he's made a sofa. He thinks it's very novel and hasn't started yet."

Yuanchun smiled and said, "When the sofa is finished, your father will know its benefits. Maybe someone will come to your father every day to make a sofa for him."

The sofa is an indispensable piece of furniture in every household in later generations.

In fact, there were also sofas stored in her space, but she didn't dare to take them out because those sofas were only available in later generations.

Shanwazi grinned happily, "My dad said that your furniture drawings are so good, he wants to buy your drawings."

"We are all from the same village. If your father likes it, I will give it to him. You don't have to buy it."

"No, that won't work. If you give it to me for free, my dad will definitely not want it." Shanwazi shouted into the house, "Dad, Dad, Sister Yuanchun is here."

"Spring is here."

An old man in his fifties came out from the side room.
