Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 170 Building a house, buying land again (3)
Everyone who heard it laughed, and quickly said, "That's for sure! Building a house is a big deal, and we must go to warm the house. It will add joy!"

Zhang Xiaocao happily agreed that warming the house is a common practice, that is, setting up banquets and entertaining guests. The more guests come, the more prosperous the family will be!
In less than one afternoon, the entire Zhangjia Village knew that Zhang Xiaocao's family was going to build a house. They all knew that their family had earned a lot of money from growing cotton this year. If they can grow cotton in the coming year, they will be able to live in a new house in a few years. Thinking about it this way, the idea of ​​growing cotton becomes more and more urgent, and they wish they could grow it now!

After dinner that night, Zhang Xiaocao was budgeting the money for building the house in the room, and only half of it was calculated, Xiaoan ran in, pulled her sleeves and shouted: "Sister Xiaocao, Mrs. Huang is here to look for you, in the main room Waiting, do you want to see her?"

Mrs. Huang wants to see her?
Zhang Xiaocao was taken aback, thought for a while, put down the brush in his hand, and led Xiaoan to the main room.

Seeing a person sitting in the main room, Mrs. Huang, who looked not so good, Zhang Xiaocao twitched the corner of her mouth and walked over.

When Huang saw her, she stood up quickly, with a gentle smile on her face.

Zhang Xiaocao curled her lips secretly, she didn't know if this woman pretended to be tired every day, she looked at this hypocritical face, she was too tired to panic!

"I don't know what the second sister-in-law Huang came to see me for?"

Zhang Xiaocao got straight to the point. Now that she sees Mrs. Huang, she can't help thinking of the "good deeds" her two brothers did. Although they didn't do anything, they deliberately revealed some news to the Gang brothers, and dared to tell them about it afterwards. She hid it, and she didn't offend the Huang brothers. They did this, and they knew who ordered it with their toes!Based on this alone, she won't have a good face towards Huang!

Seeing her indifference, Mrs. Huang suddenly panicked, afraid that she would know something, but seeing that she didn't show any anger on her face, she felt that she was thinking too much, so she calmed down and said with a smile: "I heard Your house is about to start building, so come over and congratulate!"

Zhang Xiaocao twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a half-smile: "Isn't this the house being burned by those bastards? I don't know if they have a loss in their hearts. They will always be punished for doing evil things. Look, Ganglou Village Gang Dayong's family knew about it, and they didn't know what evil they did to suffer such heavy retribution!"

Huang's complexion changed when he heard the words. What happened to Gang Dayong's family in Ganglou Village has already been spread around Shuanghe Town. What outsiders talk about most is what evil things the Gang family did. In just one day, none of the four sons was well, and even the two old ones did not end well!
Zhang Xiaocao naturally didn't miss her change, and an evil smile appeared on the corner of her mouth!Since she can't think of a proper way to retaliate against them for a while, it's good to scare them. She still doesn't believe that the Gang family's affairs really have no impact on them at all!

Zhang Xiaocao really guessed right. Ever since the news about the Gang family spread, Huang had indeed had nightmares for several nights, and even her two older brothers came to her secretly, suspecting that what they were doing was discovered by Zhang Xiaocao. It was her brother who suffered such an excruciating revenge from her.

The Huang family was skeptical, unwilling to believe this, but she was very disturbed in her heart. She dared not go out these days, but after a few days, Zhang Xiaocao did not see them to settle accounts. She felt that the affairs of the Gang family were all coincidences. Xiaocao doesn't know at all.

But now after hearing these words, she suddenly felt that Zhang Xiaocao said it to her specially!

"I accept the 'Congratulations' from Mrs. Huang. If there is nothing wrong, I will go to work first!"

Seeing her face changing, Zhang Xiaocao interrupted her very 'kindly' and drove her away!
Huang couldn't figure out what Zhang Xiaocao meant for a while, seeing that she was getting impatient, she knew that if she didn't say anything, there would be no chance, and she didn't care to guess her mind, so she said quickly: "I think you must build a house to If you are looking for help, don’t say anything else, even if you sell stone, bricks and tiles, you have to be watched by reliable people. You see, it’s better to use your own people than to use outsiders. Your brother Erlang is idle at home, but he can help. you!"

help?

Zhang Xiaocao sneered, if she asked Zhang Baoyin to help, she would rather find someone she didn't know!

"Sister-in-law Huang's words are wrong. It's better for outsiders to figure it out on their own! Besides, I have already found a good person to buy it for me, so you don't have to worry about it. You still have children. I heard that you were seriously ill before. Spending all the money in the family, this child is a big deal, you must take good care of it!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huang's face changed again, and her uneasiness became more and more serious. She smirked a few times, and found an excuse to leave in a hurry!
Looking at Huang's busy back, Zhang Xiaocao smiled meaningfully, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind, should she take the 30 taels of IOU to the door to ask for a debt?

On August [-]th, amidst the sound of firecrackers, Zhang Xiaocao finally broke ground on her long-awaited new house!

In order to move into the new house as soon as possible, Zhang Xiaocao recruited [-] young and strong people from Ganglou Village to help clean up the site, dig the foundation, and move bricks, tiles and stone materials. These people were led by Han Da, and they also invited five Women help with cooking!

Lian Tie's construction team has a total of 30 people. They are mainly responsible for laying foundations and building walls. Zhang Xiaocao handed over the money to Lian Tie to purchase all the materials needed for building the house!
Seeing that Zhang Xiaocao trusts him so much, Lian Tie feels very at ease. When choosing materials for her, she will carefully consider them. She is more concerned than before, like building a house for herself!
It took a whole day to clear the foundation. The next step is to plan the foundation and make foundation marks. These have to be done according to the drawings!

The blueprint Zhang Xiaocao handed over to Lian Tie was very detailed, and Lian Tie followed the blueprint. It only took one morning to mark the foundations of all the buildings and outline them with white ash. Next, according to this mark, Just dig the foundation, and when the foundation is dug, the foundation is built.

Building a foundation is very important. If the foundation is not laid well, no matter how good the materials are, the house built will be unstable, not to mention cracks, and water will seep in rainy days. After a long time, the foundation will be damaged, and the house will collapse. .

Zhangjia Village is next to the Ning River, and the soil is relatively loose, so the foundation needs to be dug deeper than ordinary places to be stable, so Zhang Xiaocao specially instructed Han Da to dig as deep as possible.

Lian Tie specializes in building houses, so he naturally knows how important the foundation is, and those who work with him know how deep to dig without his orders.

30 people from Lian Tie plus 30 people from Han Da, Zhang Dashan, Zhang Baojin and his son also came to help, plus Qin Zhong and three people, there were 65 people in total. In this way, it took more than ten days to dig the foundation!
