Nongmen lady has some fields

Chapter 2377 The Meaning of Existence

It was only then that Han Yingxue found out that this was the matter.

Compared with those wives in the countryside, Mrs. Huang can read and write. It should be because she lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, so women can learn knowledge.

But writing a letter may not be a big deal to Mrs. Huang, but it has a different meaning to Granny Feng.

A letter is a kind of sustenance from Granny Feng to her son whom she hasn't seen for a long time.

Mrs. Huang may not understand, but she has inadvertently helped others think it is a great favor.

"Grandma, I found that you are getting better and better now." Han Yingxue praised.

The old lady Huang is like a child, and she also longs to be praised by others. Now that Han Yingxue praised her, she became happy like a child, shouting to see who still needs help, and she will go to help.

Mrs. Huang felt that after living for so long, she finally found the meaning of life.Goofing around like that before was not only unhappy, but the most important thing was that I didn't find any meaning for my existence.

The old lady Huang lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while, snoring softly.

In the afternoon, Han Yingxue took a rest, and went to build a wooden shed with Shangguan Rui.

This time, there was no need to work too hard. Some straw was brought over, and after the straw was paved and tied with straw ropes, the wooden shed was set up.

Looking at the wooden shed that was built, Han Yingxue was satisfied, and finally completed one thing.

After finishing this task, Han Yingxue had to go to the town to buy a few large pots and set it up. Besides the shed, she also needed a stove.

Han Yingxue did the math based on the number of people reported by Wang Shitou. There will be thirty or forty people building the house by then. A cooking pot of the size at home is definitely not acceptable. It needs to be bigger. The amount of rice can be more at one time, and the other 34 men add up, and at least one large pot of rice is enough for a meal.

Ancient times were no different than modern times. Basically, there was not much oil and water in the dishes, and people's food intake would be much larger.Basically, for a meal, a working man would have to eat three or four bowls of rice.

For these people who came to work, Han Yingxue didn't want to treat them too hard, not to mention how good the food was, at least not to let them have enough food and still be hungry.

If the workers are hungry, they will not have so much energy, which will still affect the efficiency of work.

As for the adobe bricks needed to build the stove, I have to make them myself.

Rural people basically build their houses with adobe bricks. Compared with bought bricks, adobe bricks are much cheaper. Basically, they are made of mud and then cut into head-sized pieces.When it dries, it is just like bricks, but not as strong as bricks. After all, it is made of mud, and it is easy to be soft and rotten when exposed to wind and rain.

During the whole time, Han Yingxue was preparing to make clay bricks. Anyway, she had nothing to do, so doing this could pass the time.When the time was up, only Han Yingxue was left to work, and Shangguan Rui went to the town to pick up a few younger siblings.

When the children picked them up, Han Yingxue hadn't finished her work yet. There was a large piece of mud on the ground in the yard, and there were still bricks that had been made on the ground.
