After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Shui Qing didn't have any consciousness at all and asked in confusion: "Should I be worried enough to urge him?"

It's very bad to interrupt other people's reminiscing rashly.

Fan Jin was angry, but had nothing to say.

He looked back at her frequently, but he never saw panic, jealousy, concern... not even resentment on her face.

Her eyes were wide open, full of excitement and curiosity.

As if watching the fun... No, Shui Qing must trust him!

Yes, you just need to trust him, so you don't just ignore things that don't concern you.

Shui Qing watched Fan Jin beside him change from angry to calm in just a blink of an eye.

This person has a very stable mood, and he comforts himself when something happens.

Although I don’t know what it is, people with stable emotions are very nice.

"Next time, if something like this happens, remember to urge me." Fan Jin thought for a while, but still felt uneasy, and warned in a low voice.

Shui Qing was surprised, could a poor scholar be so popular?

"And next time?"

Fan Jin thought Shui Qing was angry, and joy rose in his heart. He quickly suppressed the joy in his heart and promised: "There will be no next time!"

Shui Qing nodded.

I'm afraid the next time will be after you win the exam.

There's still a long way to go, there's no hurry.

next day

When it was just dawn, Fan Jin got up quietly, cut the grass and fed the cows, then carried the bamboo basket on his back and walked towards Niutou Town.

The bullock cart was useful today. There was nothing to carry to my father-in-law's house this time, so it was quick to walk back.

As soon as Shuiqing woke up, she washed up, took her things and went to the old village chief's house.

"Are you really going to build a house?" Wang Guifen asked in surprise after hearing this while feeding the chickens with a dustpan.

The second daughter-in-law, Zhang Hui, also stepped forward and asked, "When will it start?"

They knew that Fan Jin and Shui Qing were going to build a house, but they didn't expect it to be so soon!

Still a brick house.

I remember that when we were building a brick house, the whole family discussed it over and over again, and it took almost half a year to finalize it. When it was confirmed that we were going to build it, we were so excited that we couldn't sleep all night long.

Shui Qing smiled brightly and told the two of them as well as the old village chief in the yard: "Let's start today!

We bought a drawing and hired a few masons. We estimated that they would arrive before noon, so now we want to gather people in the village to see how many there are and how to allocate the work. "

"Hey, the news that you are going to build a house and recruit people has spread all over the place last night, and now everyone can come screaming!" Wang Guifen said carelessly.

Zhang Hui joked from the side: "Yes, if nothing else, the three men in our family definitely want to go!"

"Old man, please take out the gong and ring it." The old village chief said.

Shui Qing also knew that except for the particularly lazy and unhappy families, the rest of the people in the village would not let their money go unearned.

But it would be too troublesome to go to each house and talk to them one by one.

The main reason for coming to the old village chief's house was to convene the convener to directly distribute matters.

And they have to carry bricks and tiles, which are at the brick kiln. Only the three brothers of the Li family in the village know the specific location.

Not only men came, but women also came.

"Yesterday, the head of the house and I went to Fucheng and decided on the quantity of bricks and tiles. You see, this is the proof;

The bricks and tiles are in the brick kiln factory. Now they need people to transport them back. Firstly, they need a car. Secondly, this is hard work. It costs thirty cents a day. Anyone who can go raise their hand. Shui Qing said in a clear voice.

The money was set based on wages in Fucheng. Originally, wages in the village were certainly not as high as in Fucheng, but helpers in Fucheng did not need to provide cars, and the roads were shorter and easier to travel than in remote Shanshui villages.

So the salary is not high.

But the people in the village were different. When they heard thirty cents a day, they immediately became excited.

Thirty cents a day!

A few days ago, the old village chief said that there might be heavy floods next year, which means there would be continuous heavy rains. However, even if there were no heavy floods, they still wanted to rebuild their house.

Who doesn’t want to improve the house they live in if they have some money?

I was still debating whether to have a thatched house or a tile roof. Yesterday evening I heard that Aunt Zhang’s house had decided to use tiles, and I immediately decided on tiles!

Aunt Zhang can afford it, and so can they.

Just to use tiles, we have to spend money. The family had saved enough before, but when the family didn't have any money left, they felt panicked.

Now that there is a job to make money, everyone is rushing to do it.

Shui Qing made the final decision and selected a man from a home with a car to be responsible for transporting the bricks back.

The old village head's family had a cart and a wheelbarrow, and Mr. Li and Mr. Li went with them.

There are nineteen pallet carts and wheelbarrows in total. Plus our own ox cart, we should be able to make it in time.

Shui Qing asked again: "Digging foundations, transporting stones, moving beams, wood, bricks and tiles, etc., 23 cents a day, if anyone is willing, raise your hand."

The men who were not selected raised their hands higher this time, and some even stood on tiptoes.

23 A penny is enough for a day. A family with many workers can earn a lot of tiles for one penny and two tiles a day.

Shui Qing needed to build a lot of houses, and he wanted to build them quickly, so except for men who were too old, too young, or too thin, he chose all the rest.

Her family definitely didn't have that many hoes to dig the foundation and bamboo baskets to hold rocks.

Fortunately, in a village, everyone who was selected spontaneously brought their own things to work.

Shui Qing invited a few women who were close to each other and were quick to prepare the lunch meal together. However, they had to go home to arrange things before they could come to help tomorrow.

Boss Li brought the voucher for buying bricks and tiles and led the way, followed by the long motorcade.

Others went home to dig the foundation with hoes, and went up the mountain to collect stones with baskets on their backs.

The empty, flat land was filled with people and excitement.

Fan Jin went alone and came back as three people.

"Sister! Do you really want to build a brick house or a courtyard house?" Hu Wenhua, a tall man, ran forward with long legs and shouted happily with a loud voice.

Mother Hu was so happy when she saw that work had started.

Seeing her daughter washing vegetables, she quickly ran forward to take it over and rushed to work: "Mom, come and wash the vegetables. You have a rest first."

Shui Qing didn't expect that Hu's mother and Hu Wenhua would come with her, and asked: "Mom, you are here, what will you do if your father is at home?"

"He is a grown man. He has food, eggs and meat at home. How can he starve to death?" Mother Hu said nonchalantly.

In fact, her father was more anxious than she was and kept urging them to come over.

When I heard that my daughter was really going to build a house made of bricks and tiles, the whole house was filled with joy, and I wanted to come with her.

Afraid that her daughter would be worried, she added: "Your father has gone to catch the piglets for you. If you don't kill the pigs, he will send them to you."

Hu Wenhua smiled heartily and said: "Sister, don't worry, my mother-in-law and I will help you, so you can feel more relaxed."

"Mom, how can you work as soon as you come here? You and your brother should go over there first and take a look." Shui Qing looked at Hu's mother's hair mixed with white silk and felt distressed.

"Mom, it's okay to rest at home. It's a good time to come here and get some exercise." Mother Hu thought that if she did more, her daughter would be able to rest for a while.
