Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Zhao Yeqing held his hand and carefully placed the stone on the table.

"It's really beautiful. It's even better than what I saw in the Geological Museum before."

Mu Xi helped her sit up, then turned around and went out to take a shower.

"Do you still want to take a shower? Then you'll be sweating again after cooking."

"Wash after you get out."

Anyway, it won’t be more than he washed three or four times a day yesterday.

After dinner, the two re-determined the final draft of the new house drawings.

The original drawing of two beds next to each other has been thrown into the fire pit by Zhao Yeqing.

Mu Xi snorted, "Then let's sleep in opposite corners and make a bed for each person."

Zhao Yeqing nodded desperately, "I drew it like this yesterday because I thought about it when I was at home. I definitely didn't want to take advantage of you."

Draw a drawing of the house. It should be larger than the current room. Put in two large cabinets, a table and two chairs. It would be better to make a large mat to put it on.

Winter in the mountains is relatively cold, and it almost always snows. If it gets too cold, dogs and leopards can come into the house and sleep next to the fireplace.

There are also two beds that Zhao Yeqing requested.

In addition to building a house, the sheepfold also needed to be repaired. Her idea was to build a draft-tight house out of bricks.

After all, under the current situation, it is not easy to get sheep sick. They can also infect each other, but don't let one of them get sick and eventually die.

Mu Xi had no objection. She had arranged it and he would be responsible for implementing it.

Tonight's dinner was a rabbit caught in a trap. It was snow-white and not stained at all. He carefully peeled off the fur completely and made it into a scarf when the weather got cold.

The furs of the rabbits killed during this period were all kept by Mu Xi. His fur-tanning skills were getting better and better, and the fur left behind was complete and soft.

He planned to use rabbit skin to make a carpet for Zhao Yeqing.

We can start making bricks tomorrow morning, and then we can build a new house after the bricks are made.

This is much simpler than buying a house in the city.

Zhao Yeqing urged Mu Xi to take a shower and go to bed early and get up early. She couldn't wait until tomorrow.

But the development of things still exceeded her expectations.

After sleeping until midnight, both of them were woken up by the movement outside the door.

Zhao Yeqing sat up in shock, thinking that something had come to eat the sheep.

But Dahuang and the others didn't move at all.

The screams of sheep could clearly be heard outside, as well as the sound of the sheepfold being hit crazily.

She was confused and wanted to ask Mu Xi, who also sat up but remained motionless, when she suddenly realized something in her mind and hurriedly lay down and covered her head with the quilt.

Ahhhhh!

How to do how to do!

This sheep must be sick! What's wrong with not sleeping at night?

She twisted her whole body into the bed in embarrassment.

"Ahem...pay attention to your legs."

Zhao Yeqing buried his head into the pillow, his voice muffled by the pillow, "Stop talking, just go to sleep."

Fortunately, the movement in the yard did not last long and became quiet.

But starting from that day, for three consecutive days, the sheep made such terrible noises for them every night.

She gradually became numb.

Thinking on the bright side, doesn't this mean that there is a possibility of giving birth to a baby?

Then we can still milk goats.

Zhao Yeqing was making bricks in the yard during the day, and was tortured by the sound at night.

By the time there was finally no movement at night, her bricks were almost done.

In three days, like a worker on an assembly line, she became more and more proficient at what she did. No one would be able to praise her as an expert at making bricks.

If you enter the factory, you will definitely be able to receive bonuses.

Mu Xi found the limestone deposits in the past three days, carried them to the meadow and smashed them before transporting them back.

It was a bit difficult to move. The soil after the landslide was not strong, so he only dared to carry some from the edges for fear of a second collapse.

The finished bricks still need to be fired in the brick kiln, and the firing speed cannot keep up with her making speed.

The bricks have been made, and now she just needs to watch the fire in the brick kiln in the yard.

Mu Xi brought back lime to mix with the sand to test the hardness of the cement.

The sand from the lake beach is used, and the hardness is much higher than the cement made from plant ash.

The materials were almost ready. Mu Xi checked the weather and felt that it would not rain in a short time, so he started construction.

Now you can not only use cement to connect red bricks, but also use cement to lay the floor. Once it is laid, you can also lay a layer of carpet.

Mu Xi added a porch to the doorway in the original drawing, so that if a floor mat was laid inside, he could step in with bare feet as long as he took off his dirty shoes and socks at the porch.

He discovered this little habit of hers when she returned to Meishan to repair the house and didn't forget to lay tiles in the room.

When the time comes, the rabbit fur carpet will be spread beside the bed so that your feet won’t get cold when you step on it when you get out of bed.

It would be impossible to cover the entire house with rabbit fur. Except for the bedside and near the table and cabinets, he planned to weave some straw mats to spread out in other places. The straw mats would not be cold and could be replaced at any time if they were dirty or damaged.

Zhao Yeqing counted the number of red bricks. Apart from what was needed for the house, there was definitely not enough left to build a sheepfold.

They also planned to build a small room in the hut, separated by a small door, so that several cubs could live in it, and then open a door at the back of the small room. If an animal came to steal the rabbit, they could rush out directly through the back door.

When Zhao Yeqing was building a house in Mu Xi, he was also involved in the intense production of red bricks.

-

After laying the foundation, building the house, and plastering the cement, it was already a week after the house took shape.

The current house is built entirely of red bricks, with the exterior walls plastered with cement and the interior walls plastered with wooden boards.

They didn't have varnish, and if the interior walls were only plastered with cement, they would keep getting dusty, so they simply put wooden boards on them, which doubled the work hours.

Two weeks later, the house was finally almost complete.

Otherwise, the decoration of the house is getting more and more complicated. The small house that was originally expected to be completed in ten days ended up being completed in half a month.

This does not include the initial material preparation time.

When the house was almost completed, Mu Xi began to prepare straw mats.

Zhao Yeqing had picked rushes to use as candles on his birthday before, which gave him the idea of ​​weaving straw mats.

Rushes are also called rushes, and a lot of them are exported to a small country every year to make tatami mats.

Perfect for weaving straw mats.

Rushes grow in a humid environment and are not difficult to find under meadows with rich groundwater. However, the rushes are not the best season for harvesting now and they are not very lush. It took two days to collect enough.

During the day I did carpentry, making cabinets and beds, and at night I knitted straw mats before going to bed.

By mid-February, the weather had gotten significantly cooler, and it was finally time to move in to the house.

The two of them specially checked the original owner's perpetual calendar and decided on a good day and time when everything would be suitable. Then they packed up their things and moved in.
