Husband and wife are hot on the kang

One group was laying the foundation for Juren's house, while the other dug a long trench around the village to lay the foundation for the fence. The brick and cement fence also needs the foundation to settle to be stronger.

After the foundation is laid, the house cannot be built immediately. It needs to settle for a period of time before the building can be built on it.

There are few people in Shibalipu, and the big guys will know immediately if there is any movement. They know that someone is building a house for Xiaojuren, and they know even more about someone building a wall for the village!

The old village head held a village meeting for this!

The meeting place was the threshing ground at the west end of the village. It was a big place and everyone in the village knew that place. There were eighteen tall old elm trees on the west side of the threshing ground. It is said that the first generation came here to settle down. Eighteen households, one person and one tree are planted, which means taking root on the ground.

"Everyone knows that there are two groups of people here, and one group is building the wall. I know that at this time, everyone's hands are tight, and I don't want you to pay, but it is still necessary to contribute. This is what I mean. , Each family sends out a laborer to help move bricks, fetch water, and build walls.”

"Yes, yes!" Everyone nodded. These people are the heads of the family. If they nodded, the whole village passed.

"Also, although Xiao Ju's family doesn't need the help of big guys to build a house, but we all said at the beginning that we want to help Xiao Juren. Now there is a matter, and I hope you can help."

"What's the matter?"

"We will definitely help."

The people in the village are very grateful to Yu Liangji. Building a wall is what they want most. After all, no one wants to be threatened by wild animals all the time.

Even now when everyone goes out to farm, they have to carry machetes or bows and arrows, for fear of encountering a wolf alone outside, foxes and so on, they have experience, hunting equipment basically does not leave the body, and planting When they landed, several families were close to each other, and they all went out of the village and returned to the village together, so that no one was left alone. These days, Shi Hongda went out early and returned late with Qiao Xiaowu and Zhang Jiaye.

"Although these people brought tents and came here to live, they have no place to cook. Besides, they belong to old men, and they don't know how to cook!" The old village head had already known about Yu Liangji's life from Shi Hongda. The difficulty, so he stepped forward to solve it for Yu Liangji: "Listen to me, everyone, find a few hardworking women with good craftsmanship, and during the time when they are rushing to work, they will cook for them, wash clothes and so on. Yes! Take it as a helper!"

"Don't worry, everyone. The less than Juren has paid the money. We will buy the rice and vegetables ourselves, as long as the big guys help cook it!" The captains of the two engineering teams stood up in time to explain, and Yu Juren gave the rice. With plenty of money, they can't ask the whole village to provide food and drink against their conscience.

"Successful!"

"What's the matter!"

"It's a matter of helping hands!"

When everyone heard this, they felt that there was no problem. Isn't it just cooking a meal?People prepare their own food and vegetables, and they just cook them. People are so small that they even build walls around the village!

Yu Liangji stood up, cupped his fists and spun around: "Thank you, folks!"

"You are more polite than Juren!" The big guy still respects Liangji very much. It is thanks to Yu Juren that his village can become tough in these ten miles and eight villages. This is Master Juren!

With the commendation from the imperial court, even their county magistrate gave Lilly to the clever Juren lord!

In the end, Aunt She took on the big responsibility and selected ten older, dexterous aunts who had a large family and had time to go out to work, and who were also very skilled in craftsmanship, plus herself and Grandma Che, twelve people, and Grandma Che led the work. With five, she leads five, and cooks for two engineering teams.

In order to express his gratitude, Yu Liangji bought a big fat pig that had been slaughtered. This is a rare big deal at this time of year. Each family gave two catties of pork, and the rest was given to two engineering teams. eat.

I ordered tofu at Uncle Sun's house for another month, one board of tofu every day, and cooked for two engineering team members. This was an additional subsidy from his master. Pick and search, work harder.

The family came and went, and a big hole was dug in the foundation. There were too many people, and Yu Baobao was a little afraid of giving birth. Yu Liangji didn't dare to leave the child for a moment, afraid that he would be scared, and also afraid that someone would take him away.

Shi Hongda hired [-] people to grow peanuts. This matter is known in the village. Many people can understand that the Yu family is weak and small. If Shi Hongda hadn't shouldered the responsibility of farming Speaking of it, Xiao Juren can only rent out the land for rent.

Some people who are sowing seeds after busy work will go to the fields to help when they have nothing to do. It was all closed, and twenty people planted peanuts in just a few days.

Yu Liangji paid the wages, and by the way, one of them gave them an extra ten dollars as a reward. Shi Hongda even made an appointment with them: "When the ground is shoveled, we still need manpower, so I will trouble you all at that time."

That is to say, when we are shoveling the ground, we still ask them to work!

These people are farmers with little land, and they come out to find some work during the busy spring, so as to supplement the family income, but their work is not fixed, and Shi Hongda gave them the opportunity in advance.

"Thank you, my boss. If you have something to say in the future, we will definitely do it well!" The leader is a middle-aged man with a face that has been through many vicissitudes. He is the big brother who has the final say in their group.

"Okay, everyone go back!" Shi Hongda sent the group away, and when he turned his head, he saw Yu Liangji standing in front of his house, holding his nephew in his arms and looking at the drawings he designed with the engineering team.

According to his requirements, it is very troublesome to have an upper and lower water, flush toilets and septic tanks, etc., but the people who designed the drawings in the engineering team praised him after seeing the drawings he drew, saying that he is worthy of being an example in reading. Mr. Juren, his drawings are almost the same as their official surveyors who come from the Ministry of Industry.

"... Over there, I want to save a place, and I want to plant two trees for shade; also, at the back against the wall, I want to build a cattle shed and a poultry house, so that I can feed some chickens, ducks, geese and pigs. , and build two kennels, and then raise two dogs to guard the house..." This is the life Yu Liangji has been looking forward to.

Now that he has this ability, taking a glance at Shi Hongda who has been silent since he came in, maybe he can look forward to it?

As for what to expect, he knew it in his heart, but he was still a little entangled. He was afraid that he would not be able to speak for such a tall and strong guy...

"There is still a place for me to practice martial arts." Shi Hongda quietly suggested behind him. He intends to stay here and not leave. Of course, he must have his own territory, such as a martial arts training ground. !

"Ah?" The captain of the construction team was a little dazed. He only knew that this was the home of a Juren master.

"Okay, okay, let's build a small martial arts training ground. When the baby is older, you can teach him martial arts to strengthen his body. Don't be like me, a weak chicken who can't do anything." Yu Liangji threw himself into his arms. Yu Baobao, although the little guy is well-fed by him, he always feels a little younger than other children. This is Yu Liangji's heart disease. He held his breath and waited until he was filial, and he must make it up to his little nephew!

"Yeah." Shi Hongda was very happy, he also had a special place in this home.

"Our vegetable garden, what do you think we want to plant?" Shi Hongda couldn't take it easy. These people were building houses, and there was someone to watch them, so he was quite relieved, but he didn't grow anything in his vegetable garden. In summer, there is no food to eat.

"The second aunt of the Zhang family and Aunt Qiao have prepared the seedlings, and they will plant them tomorrow." Now that the house is being built, Yu Liangji doesn't have the heart to look after the vegetable garden. According to the memory of the original owner, it is enough to invite the second aunt of the Zhang family and Mrs. Qiao to come over and help plant it, and it will be enough to plant it by myself next year.

"Expand more over there, and plant some fruit trees or something." Shi Hongda pointed to the cattle shed: "It can also shade the cattle shed."

"Okay, you can plant whatever you want." Do you need to ask him about this matter?Yu Liangji looked at Shi Hongda in confusion.

But I took a look at myself.

Shi Hongda secretly laughed happily.

Although it was said that the vegetable garden was planted by Zhang's second aunt and Mrs. Qiao, Shi Hongda planted the vegetable garden with them.

In fact, the main reason is that the vegetable garden is very large. There are two vegetable gardens in the front and one in the back.

The imperial court is not allowed to grow vegetables on the field, unless it is a vegetable merchant who specializes in selling vegetables, or replanting after natural disasters and man-made disasters. Most of the time, only grain can be grown. In fact, there is no imperial court regulation. It is very cherished. Whose family has nothing to do and grows vegetables instead of food?So what to eat and drink in autumn?

Therefore, the vegetable gardens of each family are very large, which is their hope for the vegetables they eat throughout the year, including in autumn, the raw materials for pickling pickles all come from their own vegetable gardens.

The first two kinds of vegetables are eggplant, pepper, radish and cucumber, and these four kinds of vegetables are mostly used for pickling; the latter ones are planted with horned melon, persimmon, green onion, coriander, garlic, and a lot of pumpkin.

Near the base of the wall, Shi Hongda planted some cantaloupe and watermelon. In the middle, there were two vacant ridges. One ridge was planted with garlic, and the other ridge was also planted with seedlings of beans.

After thinking about it, Shi Hongda opened three ridges of land next to his own wasteland and planted some potatoes. In winter, potatoes are an indispensable vegetable reserve.

In the vegetable garden on the east side, about one mu of land, some carrots, spinach, rapeseed and leeks are planted, and the cabbage planted in the west vegetable garden can be used to pickle sauerkraut in autumn.

Even though it was a vegetable garden, it was quite tiring after planting it. With the help of Shi Hongda, the planting was completed in three days. The foundation of the village wall was almost done, and the wall-building had already begun in full swing.

Spring has begun, and the seeds have fallen. A continuous spring rain has been falling all day. Although the time for building the house has been delayed, Yu Liangji is very happy. This spring rain can make the seedlings grow faster.

After a rain, even the air is a lot fresher, the temperature has risen a lot, and the whole world is full of the breath of spring.

After the spring rain, the spring breeze blew up. Although it had just rained, the wind was still quite strong, but it did not delay the construction. After hanging the whip, Yu Liangji bought a lot of fish to add color to the big guys.

Because there was meat to eat there, Yu Liangji sent Shi Hongda to eat meat at every turn, while he and his little nephew continued to eat vegetarian food.

However, Shi Hongda went there only once, and never went again. He still stayed with their uncle and nephew and followed them to eat vegetarian food.

Because there are many people and many things to do, Yu Liangji was tired all day during the day, so he didn't care about being attacked at night. Anyway, he was kissed more than once. He just watched, what else he can do in the future Come out!

There is little rain in spring in the Northeast. After two or three light rains, it has been sunny all the time. When the wind blows, it dries quickly. It only took ten days to build the fence.
