Allure of a Country Maiden

Shen Chengyao walked home without saying a word. The onlookers dispersed. They had never seen Shen Chengyao angry before. It turned out to be so terrifying! The expression on his face was as if he wanted to eat someone.

Shen Chengyao and Mr. Liu returned to the room.

Xiaoer was thinking about what happened just now.

Living in such a society where everything is about reputation, many things cannot be done as one wishes. At least if Jin Rui and others want to take the imperial examination, Shen Chengyao cannot leave a reputation of disregarding the lives of his relatives.

Shen Chengguang has done so many things, but Shen Chengyao has endured it. No more pursuit is out of the name of his innocent nephew, and he doesn't want to ruin his future.

But not everyone in the Shen family has a heart like Shen Chengyao! If they can't get it, they will want to destroy what others have!

In the future, their family will be far from what it is now, but if they want to go further and be more stable, many things must be laid first.

First of all, Shen Chengyao and Liu must be tougher. At least it gives people the feeling of repaying kindness and revenge, so that people will not be offended easily, but they will not think that he is a bad person.

The reason why Shen Chengzong dared to do such a nasty thing to Mrs. Liu just now was because Shen Chengyao and the others were too talkative and too considerate of their brother and son.

She was also worried just now that if she told Shen Chengyao about this, if Shen Chengzong said it regardless, Liu's reputation would be ruined, or at least he would be criticized behind his back!

But later I still felt that this kind of thing cannot be tolerated and should be resolved in front of everyone. At least let the other party feel that I am not afraid of such things coming out and not being afraid of ruining my reputation.

Then if they want to talk about reputation in the future, they will weigh it carefully.

In addition, we have to find a way for the villagers to make some money. Too many people's jealousy can also cause bad things.

This must be done as soon as possible. There are still many conscientious people in this world. She believes that those who love go out will love back;

Just like today, many people speak for their own family.

After thinking about it clearly, Xiaoer went to find Shen Chengyao and his wife.

Although Ms. Liu's eyes were red, the couple were laughing and teasing Xi'er at this time, and it was obvious that the sky had turned blue after the rain.

Mrs. Liu saw Xiaoer coming over and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Xiaoer?"

"I have something to discuss with my parents." Xiao'er also shook Xi'er's little hand, and she immediately smiled at Xiao'er.

"What's up?"

"I was thinking that there is a piece of land next to the old house. The land is about an acre. Does it belong to Uncle Dashi? I want to buy it and build a new house for my grandfather and grandma. It will also have floor heating and a toilet like our house. "

"This is a good thing. We should have thought of it a long time ago. Our house is much more convenient to live in. My parents must like it very much."

Shen Chengyao glanced at Mrs. Liu gratefully, and he would not object to being filial to his parents.

The next day, Shen Chengyao spent seven taels of silver to buy the land from Dashi, and then hired a group of workers to build a house. Foreman Liang was building a shop for himself in the town, so he was unavailable. He introduced Foreman Lan to come over.

Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen Zhuang were happy to know that this house was dedicated to honor them. When there is no farm work, Mr. Shen will come to report early every morning, and only finish work with the workers after dark

People in the village have been talking about this matter for a long time, and some old people are extremely envious and jealous. Frankly speaking, they should have a son like Shen Chengyao!

One day, Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei came to visit and brought a truck of cement over.

Xiaoer happily directed the family's long-term workers to go up the mountain to cut down some trees and saw some boards.

Then he nailed a frame on half of the road from the official road to his own door.

Then he asked people to go to the river and shovel a few carts of river sand and pebbles back.

Then mix the silt and cement sand together according to a certain proportion, then add a certain amount of small stones and cement sand and add water to mix them. After adding the three things with water and mixing evenly, the concrete will be made.

Xiaoer asked them to pour the concrete into the nailed wooden frame, fill it up, and then had some thorns cut off and surrounded to prevent people and dogs from walking up and leaving footprints one by one.

"Girl, is this all right? When this thing dries, it becomes a cement road? It won't break as soon as the carriage walks on it, right?"

"Okay, water it every morning and evening to make it solidify faster. You can walk on it in three or four days! If there are steel bars inserted, it can be stronger, but even now it is enough for a carriage to pass , but if you walk too much and for a long time, you will easily get holes everywhere, but you can just make up for it.”

Di Zhaowei was a little unbelievable. The bluestone road was more reliable. It's a pity that we can't lay bluestone roads everywhere, otherwise it would be much more convenient to go out.

Three days later, the cement road was completely dry. When Xiaoer stepped on it, it was hard and left no trace at all.

Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei also stepped on it. It was indeed very hard, as if they were stepping on a stone road.

"Xiao Fuzi, try driving a carriage."

Xiao Fuzi drove the carriage from Xiaoer's house all the way to the official road and back again. Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei were both sitting in it.

There are still no traces of wheels on the concrete road, and there are no bumps in the car at all!

"Girl, this road is like a flat stone. You won't feel any bumps when walking on it. If all the official roads across the country were paved with cement roads..." Di Zhaowei didn't say any more. He was distracted by his own thoughts. shocked.

If the official roads across the country are all cement roads, and the roads are connected to the financial, it will definitely save half the time to go to a certain place, and goods from the north and the south can be better exchanged, and some fresh fruits may not necessarily be found locally. It can be sold; transporting some precious and fragile items can also be safer, and at least a lot of losses can be avoided... With such a smooth road, Yum's life will definitely be much easier.

"The role of cement is not only to build roads. It is mixed with steel bars and can be used as a roof instead of tiles. There is no need to worry about leaks and there is no need to repair leaks every year. Moreover, houses built with concrete structures are very strong and do not need to be cleared of snow. There’s no need to worry about collapse! Cement can solidify underwater, bridges made of concrete are very strong, and city walls are made of concrete... In short, things can dry faster on a concrete drying field, and you don’t have to worry about sand!"

"This is really a good thing!" Shen Chengyao sighed.

"Girl, what you came up with is really... beneficial to the country and the people."

"This stuff is good, but it also pollutes the environment when it's made, so be careful not to discharge waste randomly and plant more trees... Don't wait until the environment is polluted before you think of ways to deal with it, that will be troublesome."

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.

"Now that we have cement, I will use this to build a garden villa on the top of the mountain. You are welcome to visit then!"

"Looking forward to it." Di Zhaowei replied with a smile.
