What a capable girl… Chu Qingzhi took the proposal and was not in a hurry to read it. contemporary romance

She glanced at everyone and said, “Now that we have money, Grandpa, Grandma, Father, and Mother, let’s discuss building a new house. Everyone, tell me, what kind of house do you want to live in?”

Everyone’s eyes instantly lit up. Building a house. What they had been yearning for was about to come true. It was like a dream. No, it was even more unreal than a dream.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Chu Qingzhi called out, “Mother, tell me what kind of a house you want. Everyone will listen to you.”

Li Qingyu grabbed the corner of her cooking apron nervously and excitedly. “Then I’ll tell you what I think. If you don’t think it’s good, we can change it.”

Everyone nodded.

Li Qingyu thought for a while. “I want to build separate houses for Xuhua and Chu Third. They’re going to get married soon. Chu Seventh and Chu Ninth are still young. We’ll build houses for them in a few years. Oh right, the three houses have to be built next to each other.”

When everyone heard this, they felt that this idea was not bad and did not raise any objections.

Grandpa Chu said, “We can’t build so many houses at our current location.”

Chu Rong said, “There’s a wasteland on the east side of the village. Let’s buy it.”

Chu Xuhua frowned and said with some concern, “Father, we need a lot of silver to buy that piece of land.”

Chu Rong said, “We can earn more. Building a house is a big deal. We have to build it better. Buy that piece of wasteland. In the future, your two little brothers will be able to build a house next to yours.”

Chu Xuhua nodded. “Father, you are right.”

As Chu Qingzhi read the proposal, she listened to everyone. After hearing them finish, she asked, “Then do you have a courtyard that you like?”

Chu Xuhua said, “Just a few rooms and a small courtyard will do.”

Chu Qingzhi thought about the construction standards of this era. Actually, she could build a small bungalow. “Eldest Brother, Third Brother, think it through. There’s no hurry.”

She turned to look at Chu Rong and Li Qingyu. “Father, Mother, can I design the house we live in?”

Chu Rong and Li Qingyu said in unison, “Of course. We’ll listen to you.”

Shen Ruyue’s beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity. “Qingzhi, do you have any good ideas?”

Chu Qingzhi raised her pen and flipped the paper over. She drew the house design. Her hand holding the pen was very steady. Everyone looked at her and could not help but hold their breaths.

The few younger ones walked to the table and watched Chu Qingzhi draw.

Chu Qingzhi drew a two-story bungalow with a villa style. In ancient times, wooden materials were used as construction materials, so the bungalow would look even better.

Chu Sixth praised, “Fifth Sister, this house is so beautiful.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “When it’s built, it’ll be even more beautiful. You’ll have separate rooms in the future.”

There were many children in the family. They had to cram on the same bed until they reached the age for marriage.

Chu Seventh looked at Chu Qingzhi with sparkling eyes. “Fifth Sister, ever since you came home, our family has been getting better and better.”

“If we work together, the future will be even better.”

“Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi suddenly stopped drawing and looked at the four children. “Chu Sixth, Chu Seventh, is there anything you want to do? when you grow up”

The two girls, Chu Sixth and Chu Eighth, did not speak. One of them was 13 years old, and the other was 8 years old.

On the other hand, the nine-year-old Chu Seventh and the seven-year-old Chu Ninth spoke. “Sister, we want to study and be the number one scholar.”

“You’re quite ambitious, but since you want to study, I’ll send you to school.” Chu Qingzhi looked up and asked everyone, “Is there a good school near the county?”

Shen Ruyue said, “There’s a school that has produced three scholars. It’s called Yunfei school. It’s also a hundred-year-old school. It’s said that it’s opened by a chancellor who has retired.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment. “We can go there to take a look first.”

Shen Ruyue nodded. “Qingzhi, I know where it is. I’ll take you there.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Let’s do it after I finish drawing the blueprint. By the way, Father, Mother, do you know any builders?”

Chu Rong’s gaze landed on the small bungalow that Chu Qingzhi had drawn. “Qingzhi, the villagers can build ordinary houses, but yours is too complicated. They can’t build it well.”

Shen Ruyue looked up. “Qingzhi, I know someone who’s very good at building houses. Can you let him try?”

“Of course.” Chu Qingzhi was a little worried. “But are you sure he can build it?”

Shen Ruyue said firmly, “I promise.”

“Alright, let’s go and see him later.” Chu Qingzhi turned to ask Chu Sixth and Chu Eighth, “Have you thought about what you want to do?”

Chu Sixth and Chu Eighth shook their heads.

Chu Qingzhi thought about it. She should find a skill for the girls so that no matter what happened in the future, they could make a living on their own.

She looked at Chu Eighth and asked, “Do you like to make clothes like Second Sister?”

Chu Sixth shook her head.

Chu Qingzhi asked again, “Then do you like to learn medicine like Fourth Sister?”

Chu Sixth still shook her head.

Chu Qingzhi raised her head and thought for a while. “Then do you have anything you like to do? You can do it for fun.”

After a while, Chu Sixth whispered in embarrassment, “Fifth Sister, I like to play with mud. I use mud to make small clay figurines very well. Moreover, I also made a bowl, chopsticks, table, chair…”

Chu Qingzhi was a little interested. “Can you show them to me?”

Chu Sixth nodded happily and ran back to her room to take out many clay figurines. There were cats, monkeys, pots, bowls, and so on.

After Chu Qingzhi saw this, she realized Chu Sixth’s talent. “Chu Sixth, how about learning how to make porcelain?”

Chu Sixth was puzzled.. “Huh? What’s porcelain?”
