From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket Chapter 234 - 170: Building a New House

Since he has married the girl, he must take responsibility for her. If it weren’t for his mother insisting not to build a new house back then, their family should have been living in a three-room big tile-roofed house by now.

Fu Yu furrowed his brow. He hadn’t felt anything before, but now, looking around the room, he felt increasingly dissatisfied.

With this thought in mind, he proposed:

"Mom, Dad, I made quite a bit of money on this trip, plus all the years of savings we have at ho. We can build a house without any issue."

"All the neighbors in the village have already built new houses, but our family still lives in this adobe house, which is quite unreasonable;"

"Moreover, this house is so dilapidated. Whenever there’s wind or rain, it’s pouring outside and drizzling inside. The furniture has been soaked more than once or twice, and it’s quite troubleso to clean up."

"You two are at an age where you should enjoy a life of ease, not constantly lowering your living standards just to save money."

"Now that your son has the ability to earn money, let’s build a new house as soon as possible. You can enjoy a few more years of comfort while you’re still young. Moving into a new house will definitely lift your spirits. We can redecorate it nicely, get so new furniture, install new lights, and have a good life as a family."

Fu Yu had another thought in his mind: now that he is married, the old house still has the old-style layout. Living under the sa roof as a family is sowhat inconvenient.

The privacy issue is the most important one, and the old house doesn’t block sound. The bedrooms on both sides face each other, and the room doors are poorly made. Thus, living together can be awkward at tis.

That’s why Fu Yu proposed to rebuild the house.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Fu’s eyes lit up instantly. Fu Yu is indeed his son, thinking exactly like him.

After all, this old house has been around for quite so ti, and when he lies on the kang (heated brick bed), he can feel the dust falling off the walls.

The drawbacks of the old house have beco apparent. The dust in the house is significant, and not only that, what Fu Yu said is true. Fixing the leaks in the old house requires getting on the roof.

If nothing is used to cover the roof, the leaks inside the house would be intolerable.

Moreover, both he and Mrs. Fu are getting older. The son is often not at ho, and in case of sumr leaks, the two of them have no way to climb the ladder and cover the roof.

This is a major problem.

If one of them were to fall because of this, it would be a burden for the family in the future. It’s better to rebuild the house directly.

Besides, they are not without the ans at ho, so there’s no need to excessively save.

Mrs. Fu previously tried to stop them from building a new house, claiming she wanted to build a big tile-roofed house for everyone in the family to have a room.

But honestly, there are just a few of them living in the village long-term.

The eldest family has long moved to town and seldom returns, not even for the New Year, completely severed from ho.

The youngest daughter is studying in town, cos back for the holidays, and can stay with the old couple, not needing another room, so building a three-room tile-roofed house is sufficient.

There’s no need to save excessively to build a big house.

I’ve had enough of these tough days. Every ti I look at the neat and bright big tile-roofed houses of the neighbors, I can’t help but be envious.

Moreover, sumr is almost over. By the ti winter cos, the old house definitely won’t be as warm as a new house. Who knows how much cold we’ll have to endure. If we take the chance while the son is ho to build the house quickly, we can move into the new house by this winter.

This way, we can suffer less in the winter.
