Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 77
Chen Yang walked to the edge of the ditch and called out "Grandpa".

Grandpa ignored Chen Yang, but after finishing his work seriously, he slowly came to the ditch.

It is still the rainy season, there is water in the ditch, and a springboard for boats is placed on the ditch, which is convenient for walking back and forth.

Grandpa went back to the side of the ditch along the springboard and sat down on the edge of the ditch.

Chen Yang also squatted on the ground.

"Grandpa, is there something wrong with the new house I chose?"

"No problem, it's good, I just adjusted the direction a little bit."

Chen Yang said curiously, "I set the direction due south, isn't that right?"

Grandpa said seriously, "[-]% true south and true north is not a good direction to build a house. The direction I adjusted is south but slightly easterly, which is more easterly than the direction of the old house."

Chen Yang snorted, "Grandpa, I'll listen to you, you are an expert in this field."

Grandpa smiled, "It's a bit of feudal superstition, don't go out and talk about it, just know it yourself."

"Grandpa, have you set the ground breaking time and starting time?"

"It's fixed, it's all the day after tomorrow. The ground breaking time is from three to five in the morning the day after tomorrow. The starting time is from seven to nine in the morning the day after tomorrow."

After a pause, Grandpa added, "By the way, Yang, you have to do the groundbreaking in the early morning of the day after tomorrow."

"Am I suitable?"

"Your zodiac sign is good, you are so suitable."

Grandpa is so particular about what he does, and he is so careful and meticulous when he does it.

For things like this, the old man is always supreme, and Chen Yang can only obey.

The site selection of the new house did not follow the same site as the old house, but moved back two or three meters.

The back of the house used to be the family's private land, which was properly occupied, as everyone did.

The five houses are [-] meters and [-] meters long, but the widths are different.

The main room in the middle is [-] meters wide.There are two main rooms on both sides of the main room, each with a width of [-] meters.

The total width of the new house is 20 meters and one, which is also a particular figure.Neither less than 20 meters nor exactly 20 meters.

Chen Yang wanted to increase the width of the new house, but there were small roads on both sides, which belonged to the public, and Chen Yang didn't want people to make irresponsible remarks.

After the new house is built, there will be a front yard and a back yard.

A front yard is 20 meters long and 20 meters wide.A backyard is [-] meters long and [-] meters wide.

Together with his grandfather, Chen Yang set everything up.

Although Chen Yang didn't notify the boys, there were still many people in the village who spontaneously came to help.

The groundbreaking was done by Chen Yang alone.

The so-called breaking ground means digging soil at a corner of the foundation, which means the beginning of building a house.

One day earlier, grandpa used clam ash powder to "draw" the foundation.

Just after four o'clock in the morning, Chen Yang started to break ground with a pickaxe.

Of course, breaking the ground is also symbolic, just move it.

After six o'clock, before the masons and small workers arrived, the helpers from the village came.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

No matter what, in Chenjia Village, which has more than 400 households, there are still people who love Chen Yang's family.

Captain Tong Laogui is here, as are Tong Xiaolong and Tong Xiaolu brothers, and their honest father.

Chen Renjun came to ask for leave.

Chen Fuming came with his father.

Tong Xiaoping, Tong Erzi, Cai Xiaohui and Cai Chaoyang also came.

There are still some hair boys in the village, not from the Ninth Squad, who don't come and go much at ordinary times, but they also came today.

In the village, a family surnamed Zhou, a family surnamed Xia, a family surnamed Zhang, a family surnamed Jin and a family surnamed Li also came to help with tools.

A group of women also came to help.

Chen Yang and the whole family were very moved.

While being moved, Chen Yang thought about eating.
