My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 133: Chapter 135: Building a House

His heart was overflowing with satisfaction. As for the matter of the house, he wasn’t as proud, he was more pleased about the road being built, which would make things easier for the child.

The road was constructed along with the house by a team of workers, not only were they experts at road construction, they were also proficient in building houses.

When digging the foundations, they used long-armed machines and were able to complete it in just a day. The new bases were on both sides of the road, facing it. They all looked the same.

They used cement and bricks, which made the process much faster compared to the few new houses built in their village. This was the work of dozens of people, and within a few days, the main structure of the houses was up. They were two-story buildings, with the exterior and interior walls both smoothed with cement.

If they were to build the house themselves, just two rooms would cost at least five or six thousand, but these people managed to finish it. They plastered both the insides and outsides of the houses, even the entrances were smoothed with cement and they built steps too. Now, they wouldn’t need to worry about rainwater flowing into the house.

The road construction started from their village and spread out in both directions. No matter how long the road was, the one outside their village was wide and paved with asphalt, unlike the rough, dirt roads typical in rural areas.

Tang Zhinian and his brother put their farm work aside for now as they had to sort out the new house. For the furniture, Tang Zhinian decided to do it himself as he was rather good at woodworking. During that time, the windows in the village were still made out of wood, without any metal alloy. Although Tang Zhinian was not a professional carpenter, he was still able to make windows without any problems. As for the furniture, he didn’t have the skills for that, so he needed to buy them. Fortunately, the money that was originally set aside for Tang Zhijun to build a house was still a lot, more than enough to buy two sets of furniture.

The two brothers were either logging or making windows and were often too busy to eat. Zhang Xiangcao rolled up her sleeves and went straight to cook in the Tang’s old house.

Even though the ingredients were limited and the village folks ate simple meals without any fancy dishes, she managed to prepare varying dishes for the two brothers every day. It made Tang Zhinian more and more satisfied with her.

Tang Yuxin was carrying a basket and leading a little girl who was wobbling as she walked.

“Sisi, are you tired?” she asked the much shorter Sisi.

After having sheep’s milk for a while, it was evident that Sisi’s health had significantly improved and she could now walk, albeit a bit unsteadily. But she loved walking, her little face even looked chubbier, making her appear more pretty.

Sisi shook her little head, “Sisi go with sister to see daddy.”

She bit her little finger, she was unfamiliar with the word “daddy”, but at her young age, she knew that she would soon have a daddy. Daddy would let her ride on his back, buy her lots of delicious food, sweet milk, and she would live in a big house.

Tang Yuxin let go of Sisi’s hand, gently touched her head, and then took her hand again, walking towards their new home. The new house was well-built, similar to houses she had seen in other villages. They were also built along the road, three rooms per house, with a big courtyard in the middle for planting flowers or trees.

However, the villagers didn’t like planting flowers as they were delicate, difficult to maintain, and not as practical as cultivating vegetables.
