Chapter 17

They had made a good plan, but an important problem was before them. Such a good ginseng could not be sold at a price in the small town. Mrs. Ye was also knowledgeable, so she decided immediately.

"Build the house first, and when we are all settled, we will go to Fucheng to sell it next year. This blessing cannot be wasted."

Ye Xing's wish came to nothing again. She originally wanted to live in a brick house, but what her grandmother said made sense. She wanted bricks even though she had used up the tiles?Compared with the thatched huts that can be found everywhere in the village, it is much better. When the strength is not enough, it is a disaster to embrace wealth.

The three brothers of the Ye family are full of energy. They don’t panic when they have treasures at home, and they don’t have to worry about going out to do odd jobs. They are dedicated to building a house at home. Xing’er is right, the foundation is the key to a strong house, and the three of them are not afraid of getting tired. , immediately decided to go up the mountain to hit rocks!

This time Ye Xing wanted to follow, her father couldn't help it, so he had to tell her to be careful, how did they know that without this little guy, hitting rocks would not be so easy,

She quietly recruited Xiaoqing, and with the help of this local family, even the uncle was surprised, how the stones at the foot of the mountain became square,

"It must have been caused by the earthquake, father, look quickly, there is still a gap over there."

The little niece has sharp eyes and can always see where the trick is. When she got home, the uncle couldn't stop praising her,
"Of course, she is the little lucky star of our family. Listen carefully, if anyone dares to treat her badly in the future, the old woman will not obey!"

After arduous mining, the stones were carried into the Ye family compound one by one. Although the villagers envied them, they also admired them. They carried them back shoulder by shoulder. There are always a few who are not convinced and like to say harsh words ,
"Second Aunt is really on the edge, hey, people still use stones to lay the foundation, who doesn't just ram the earth."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't see that even the tiles were bought back. This is making a fortune in Feng County?"

Even those who were in Fengxian County were full of doubts, did the teahouse really make money?
The Ye family did a good job of keeping secrets, and no one knew about the business of the restaurant.

The hard work of the Ye family also agrees with this sourness. Hitting rocks is not an easy job. It takes nearly a month to hit enough rocks. Uncle calculated that it can be half a person high, and earth bricks are enough for the upper half. solid.

On the day of the foundation laying, Mrs. Ye gritted her teeth and bought a chicken, and then went to the town to buy a pot of wine. It was regarded as a sacrifice to Jiang Taigong, and asked him to bless the house with safety.

Following Ye Xing's advice, the foundation of the house was dug very deep. When the stones were buried, it felt very safe.

The materials were all ready, and the work was done very quickly. Ten days later, the walls of the house were finished, and the beams were just waiting to be erected. This process could not be done by oneself, so a professional bricklayer had to be hired.

The best bricklayer in Yuanbao Town is Liangjiaban. Because it is too popular, it was decided a month ago. When the uncle went to the town to hire someone, he was told that he would have to wait for a few days. Ram the courtyard wall out.

This kind of courtyard wall is simpler than laying earth bricks. It is sandwiched between two boards and the soil in the middle is tamped. Generally speaking, it is not too high, because some sand and lime are put in the soil, and it is very good if it is well done. solid.

The soil at the foot of the mountain in Yunwa Village is very viscous, and there are walls like this everywhere in the village, and the children are not idle. The big ones have two baskets at a time, and even Ye Zhen took a small basket and moved them home. However, Ye Xing used the space to cheat, and dumped some out when people were not paying attention, but was discovered by Xiaoyue.

"Hey, who secretly dumped the soil for us? Why did it pile up all of a sudden?"

"Sister, we must be walking slowly. Dad and the others made an extra trip. There is no one around here. Who would be so good?"

The chubby chattered, Ye Yue also laughed,

"Xing'er is right, who has such a kind heart, let's go, let's hurry up."

It was late autumn at this time, and the shed was ventilated on all sides. For a warm home, I had to live in a new house before the frost.

Five days later, the craftsman master came. The beam-lifting was a major event, and he did not dare to be careless. In addition to entertaining the craftsmen, he also had to entertain guests. After all, the villagers would also come to congratulate him.

Because of the disaster, no one dared to spread out. Only the artisans ate white steamed buns and stewed a pot of vegetables with meat. The others were black-faced pancakes. Of course, the dishes were also vegetarian. Fragrance.

"Big sister, can we live in our house after we get on the beam?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice as the children also ate black flour pancakes.
"We still have to lay tiles. I heard it will take three days. Tell me, isn't our new house beautiful?"

Looking at the tall house, Ye Yue was very intoxicated, and she was full of sense of accomplishment. Since returning to the village, she has been making mud and soil embryos every day, and a girl was born into a mud monkey.

"Of course it's beautiful. There's still food on the second floor."

This was designed by Ye Xing. The house is one foot high and has a strong roof, where food and sundries can be placed. The roof is relatively dry and not prone to mildew.

Because there is no extra room as a granary, this design solves the temporary problem.

According to the northern customs, there was a kang in the house, and Ye Xing and his grandmother were soft and hard, and the floor was covered with green bricks, and the children brought a brazier to dry it early.

Ten days later, the master carpenter also entered the site. They were going to make doors, windows and furniture. Although a lot of old furniture was preserved, more were damaged. When they returned to the village, uncle and father cut down trees for ten days. After lying in the courtyard for several months, although it is not completely dry, it is barely usable.

When the last coat of paint was finished, the Ye family was finally about to move into their new house. They held a ceremony according to the tradition. During the Wenju banquet, Ye Xing was almost stunned. The big black man was sitting next to the village chief.

"Hehe, taking advantage of Aunt Ye's meal, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Luo Zhangluo. He is new to our village. He has already bought land and is going to build a house in the next few days. Hehe, we will be neighbors from now on. "

Luo Zhang?Ye Xing observed quietly for a while, this person is definitely not a commoner, why did he come to this small village?It must be to avoid disaster, but since I have saved his life, it shouldn't be bad for my family.

"What kind of son is not a son, just call me Zhang. Speaking of which, we are also destined. A while ago, that little girl saved my life. I don't know if you are living in peace today. You didn't buy gifts, so you had to send some money to congratulate. Don't Strange."

After he finished speaking, he took out a small letter, which seemed to be a bank note. Mrs. Ye repeatedly declined, but Luo Zhang had a serious face, so he had no choice but to accept the envious, jealous, guessing, and puzzled eyes of everyone. Next, accept it tremblingly.

Ye Xing was dragged to the chairman by the village chief, who praised her for being clever, and Luo Zhang took out a small box and handed it to her.

"It's all children's stuff, let's play with it." Ye Xing didn't pick it up. Although she was still young, men and women couldn't kiss each other. Even in public, she had to avoid it.
