The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Until now, Mo Yan has never visited the farm in person. If Xiner hadn't mentioned it today, she would have forgotten it again.

Now that the crops in the farm are about to be harvested, it’s really time to go and take a look, so Mo Yan said to Xiner: “There are so many things in the past two days that I don’t have time to go. When dad and the others come back in two days, we will be free again. Let’s go see it together then.”

When Xin'er heard this, she danced happily: "Okay, okay, I've wanted to take a look for a long time. All such big villages belong to our family, and the inside may be nicer and prettier than ours!"

Mo Yan tapped Xin'er's forehead and said helplessly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you wanted to go and see it? However, the steward came over last time and briefly talked about the situation in Zhuangzi. In addition to the fields, there is also a large house. , the scenery is also very beautiful, if this is the case, our family will go there to stay for a few days from time to time, and it will be nice to change our mood."

Xin'er said sheepishly: "Dad was studying hard at that time. Zhen'er and the others are rarely at home. Sister, you are very busy on weekdays. It would be boring for me to go alone."

Mo Yan smiled slightly, touched Xin'er's head and said, "Then just wait for two more days. There are a lot of things at home right now!"

"Well, I know, Zhuangzi is right there and can't run away. We can go anytime." Xiner said cheerfully, her bright eyes full of expectation.

The two sisters chatted for a while and then dispersed. Mo Yan took an abacus and began to calculate the recently purchased materials.

The picking and harvesting of orchards and rice fields can be left to others, but the materials needed to build resettlement houses for the three hundred soldiers and the third phase of the winery can only be handled by her.

Some materials have been fully paid for, so it is relatively easy to sort them out. Some of the materials are in bits and pieces, but they have not all been shipped and need to be sorted out. This makes accounting a bit cumbersome. Fortunately, Mo Yan's mind was flexible enough and he used modern calculation methods, so he figured it out quickly.

Putting down the pen, Mo Yan stretched out and was about to get up and cut the watermelon to eat, when Yang Bao knocked on the door and came in.

"Girl Yan, the wooden beams that were cut a few days ago are almost drying out, and the bricks and tiles you brought in are almost here. When do you plan to start the work? Decide on the time so that the people in the village can arrange the autumn harvest."

A few days ago, Mo Yan hired a lot of laborers to cut wood in the mountains to make wooden beams. Only then did the villagers know that the Mo family was going to build another house. Although I don’t know where the house is built and what it is used for, I can tell that the house is very big just by looking at the more than 300 wooden beams hanging in the ashram.

It is not an easy task to build eighty or ninety houses in one month. It requires a lot of labor. At that time, Mo Yan released the news of recruiting people to build houses in advance, and the daily wages were still ten cents higher than those in the city. As a result, not only the laborers in Liuyang Village were eyeing this job, but also people from several surrounding villages came to inquire about it every day, hoping to seize the opportunity to earn a wage.

Mo Yan wanted this effect. In addition to the villagers who helped her when building her house, she also asked the village chiefs of several villages to help her find some hard-working and capable laborers in their respective villages. Several village chiefs all agreed and quickly reported their names.

Now, all the people have been found, a total of two hundred people. As long as it doesn't rain, the house can be built in a month. After a month of drying and ventilation, the three hundred soldiers at the border were almost brought back by Qinan.

Mo Yan had already calculated the time to start construction, so he said to Yang Bao: "The sixth day of August, which is the day after tomorrow, is the time to start construction. I planned to start construction on that day. I originally wanted to inform the folks tomorrow, but I didn't expect Uncle Yang to come over." If building a house delays the autumn harvest, Uncle Yang should let everyone work on the autumn harvest first. It doesn't matter if we arrive two days late."
