Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

So a few people are ready to start work.

Today is finishing the foundation of the courtyard wall.

After all, the ground is always a little bit uneven. Building a courtyard wall can’t just be built like this. It is necessary to dig a shallow ditch that is two fingers deep and more than a foot wide. Just follow the shallow ditch and go up the base.

This job can be done by four people in one day.

If there is still time in the afternoon, I will go to the brick potter's place to see how the bricks are doing, and I have to pay part of the transaction by the way.

I still have to go to Village Chief Zhao's house, and ask Village Chief Zhao to help tell each family. It was originally agreed to come to help, but tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, about thirty or forty people will come.

The yard wall had to be built up and the foundation of the house had to be prepared.

Because this place is special, it is impossible to build a house directly on the ground. In this case, once the rainy season comes, the house will be too humid, and it is very likely that rainwater will pour into the house.

In the more than two months when the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, if I woke up in the morning, the thick snow would block all the doors.

Therefore, the foundation is generally about one meter above the ground. A layer of stone bricks and a layer of clay are compacted.

After that, the house can be built on the high foundation.

This is a job that requires a lot of people and a lot of strength, and the four of them alone will get it done for a long time.

A day passed in a blink of an eye, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them had already cleared the foundation of a circle of courtyard walls.

Gao Dashan and A Yuan saw that there was nothing to do, so they went back first.

Gao Dashan was worried, and before leaving, he told them to be careful when entering the big forest, even if they were walking on the familiar road.

Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen knew that what he said was aimed at the two of them "transporting stone materials" in the middle of the night, and thanked them with a smile.

Mo Yunshen couldn't help but cast a glance at Mu Qingli, thinking that the lady's lies are really as good as the truth...

After the two went to the village chief's house to talk about the matter, they went to the brick and tile potter Uncle Qin's house to transport some bricks.

The bricks they need need to be exchanged for six or seven hundred catties of meat, which can also be converted into some wild vegetables.

Mu Qingli got about twenty hares and pheasants from the space, about a hundred catties, and filled two baskets full of bracken, bamboo shoots, yams and other wild vegetables, worth fifty catties of meat.

Brick might need some tomorrow, so he used a big turtle to carry it home.

Neatly stack the bricks in the big baskets, and put six baskets on the back of the turtle at a time, more than 500 yuan, and transport them back and forth four times, at least enough for tomorrow.

Seeing that the big tortoise is so docile and capable, Uncle Qin couldn't help laughing with envy: "This is the big tortoise of Dashan and Ayuan? Tsk tsk, it's really easy to handle! How much trouble has been saved!"

Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen smiled and did not correct him.

Mu Qingli only smiled and said: "Uncle, don't look at it as docile, but it's actually very cruel. Now that it's in a good mood, don't rush to get it to work. If it's in a bad mood, you can do whatever you want. It can't be beaten by commands. If it calls again, it simply shrinks its neck, tail and four feet, leaving you a shell!"

Uncle Qin laughed loudly, and said with a smile: "It's no wonder, it's just a tortoise, how can it listen to everything?"

"indeed!"

Da Gui cast a cold glance at Old Uncle Qin when he heard the words, Uncle Qin's smile faltered, and his heart felt a little cold for no reason.

Is it an illusion? Uh, otherwise this big tortoise is really cruel...

He felt a little jealous immediately, and subconsciously stayed far away and dared not approach.

In addition to preparing bricks, there is also clay to prepare.

But this is not urgent, it will be ready to dig when you use it tomorrow.

The clay used to build houses in the village is the soil at the edge of the swamp, and there is a place where the clay is particularly sticky.

As long as you are vigilant and don't disturb the swamp crocodile, usually nothing will happen.

With the artifact of the big turtle in hand, it is also very convenient to transport clay.

A total of thirty-seven people came the next day, including the four from their own family.

In fact, everyone sympathized with Mo Yunshen and Mu Qingli, and secretly sighed and said that Mu Zhihong and the others were not kind. In addition, he received a sufficient amount of remuneration, so he was very proactive in his work.

Time waits for no one. If the rainy season comes and the house has not been built yet, where will the family live? The rainy season is not a rainy day, it can last for a month and a half.

Wouldn't it be pitiful if there was no place to live at that time?

Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen were in charge of digging and transporting the clay, Gao Dashan and A Yuan led six people to build the courtyard wall, and the rest laid the foundation.

Seeing those top-quality stone materials, everyone couldn't help but praise, saying that the courtyard wall must be strong when built.

The clay is easy to dig out. After all, it is near the edge of the swamp and is very soft. Just pack it in baskets and let the big turtle carry it back.

Xiaoyaer and Miss Xiaoluan also rolled up their sleeves to help with great enthusiasm.

So, the big turtle made another push, and everyone praised him.

Many people couldn't help but greet Gao Dashan and A Yuan half-truthfully, saying that they would also like to borrow the big turtle from them when they have some heavy work to do in the future.

So the person who said this will get a chilly and cold look from the big turtle.

Master Gui said "Bah!" in his heart: Take Master as a coolie for heavy work? Believe it or not, a fire could turn your house upside down.

Facing Shang Dagui's ferocious eyes, the speaker almost trembled with fright, but even the people on the side saw it, and they were too frightened to speak.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that this tortoise has really become a genius, no wonder it grows so big! Alas, it's really evil, why does it just listen to Mu Qingli and the others...

Not long after, my uncle Zhang Zishan also came.

When Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen came back from transporting the clay, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

Zhang Zishan first opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "What a big turtle!" Then he came back to his senses, waved his hands at them and said with a smile, "You go about your business, I'll help. I knew you wouldn't call me on purpose, Luckily, I told brother Zhang Cai that he was the one who sent the message to me."

Zhang Zishan said hello to Zhang Cai and others who were working.

Only then did Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen understand how he came so timely, and thanked him with a smile.

Zhang Zishan's eyes searched around the crowd, but he didn't see Mu Zhihong and Mu Zhiwu there, and no one from those two families came to help, so he couldn't help but sighed inwardly, feeling more and more pitiful for Mu Qingli and the others.

After two days of hard work, the foundation of the house was finally laid and tamped. It needs to be exposed to the sun for another two or three days, and it needs to be rolled on it several times with huge boulders every day, and then the construction can start on it. house.

Otherwise, it is the rainy season and the snowy season, and extreme weather is most likely to erode the foundation.
