My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 103  - 105: The New House

Therefore, now is the perfect time to get a homestead plot. Once the time passes, it will become difficult.

Tang Zhinian thought for a moment. How could he have forgotten about this homestead plot?

"Brother, what do you need the homestead plot for?"

Tang Zhijun was squatting on the ground, holding a bowl, drinking corn gruel. In the morning it was corn gruel. By evening, after adding some noodles to it, it would become corn gruel with noodles. Paired with a plate of pickled mustard greens, it was a dish he could never tire of.

Tang Zhijun took another sip of the corn gruel and noodles. We've got enough space in our house; why on earth would we want to get another plot?

"It's not for me," Tang Zhinian glanced at his younger brother, "Eventually, you will marry and need a wife. Do you plan to spend the rest of your life living with your elder brother?"

"What do I want with a woman if she doesn't want you and Yuxin?"

Tang Zhijun hadn't thought about getting married yet. But if he ever did and ended up with someone like Sang Zhilan, he'd rather stay single. His elder brother had raised him like a father. There was no reason to let his brother go after he'd started his own family.

"Utter nonsense! Even if you wanted to live with us, we wouldn't allow it," Tang Zhinian wished he could smack his brother. He was still the same little rascal who'd grown up, but he couldn't spank him anymore.

"Fine by me," Tang Zhijun's eyes , followed by a playful smile.

"In that case, we'll get two plots. We'll keep one for Yuxin, so she can get a live-in husband in the future."

It's rare in the village for a family to have only one child, and a daughter at that. Given Tang Zhinian's nature, he most likely would't marry again. In such a case, it would only be fitting that the daughter gets a live-in husband.

Tang Zhinian also planned to find a live-in husband for his daughter. As the only child, he wouldn't know how to handle it if she were bullied after getting married. It's much safer to have her under his watchful eyes.

But these are future concerns. Yuxin is only five now. What's the rush? Thus, they decided to allocate two homestead plots. Even if they don't build on them immediately, they will still belong to them in the future.

The next day, after finishing his work on the farm, Tang Zhinian and his brother went to visit the village chief to ask him about the homestead plot.

They wanted two plots in total, as is customary for a family with only a daughter. Since it was a part of the family planning, the villagers took care of it, so the village chief immediately allotted two plots. However, choosing where to locate these plots became a headache for Tang Zhinian.

When Tang Yuxin heard about it, she climbed down from the chair and pulled her father outside.

Tang Zhinian had no choice but to follow his daughter's steps as she pulled him outside. The loving father would do anything that his daughter asked for. Even if she told him to jump into a river, he would do as she said.

Tang Yuxin led Tang Zhinian to the easternmost end of the village. This was a barren area that no one had cultivated. The soil was not good and there were some ditches, so no one wanted it. Our village still had plenty of land but less people. Unlike the future, when the population would multiply several times keeping the land area same, we now had plenty of land and fewer people.

"Daddy, Xinxin wants to build a house here."

Tang Yuxin pointed at the empty ground.

At this point, Tang Zhinian laughed helplessly. He had no idea where she had heard about them planning to build a house. She was still so young, but she was indeed becoming more and more crafty.
