Chapter 93 Commence construction and build a house

The feeling of jealousy started to build up at once, "Li Dafu, who do you think is being picky? Who do you think is mean?"

"Hey, I didn't even mention your name or surname, why did you jump out here?" Li Dafu put his hands on his hips, "Why, you even recognized yourself."

"Li Dafu, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"

"Shen Cuihai, you are looking for trouble!"

"What do you want?"

"What do you think? Do you want to fight?"

As they talked, the two people began to push each other.

Shen Wanniang was dumbfounded. The two of them were no longer young people, but they actually got into a fight over a few words.

Shen Cuishan couldn't stand this and quickly pulled him away, "Brother, what are you doing? We are all from the same village. If you have anything to say, just say it and don't do anything."

"Shen Cuishan!" Shen Cuihai glared at his own brother angrily, "What are you doing? Are you helping outsiders?"

"I didn't."

"Huh, don't think I don't know what your family is doing. Mom told me that you don't want to grow millet this year, but want to grow watermelons for business."

"Don't you think you are good at growing watermelons? Will anyone buy your watermelons? Be careful and you will lose everything!"

"It's so kind that you treat it like a donkey's liver and lungs, and a dog bites Lu Dongbin." Shen Wanniang was not angry and stepped forward to defend him.

At this time, Li Dafu laughed.

"What's wrong with growing watermelons? No one buys them. When Brother Cuishan's watermelons are ripe, I will be the first to buy them!"

Then he asked Old Huangtou, "Brother Huang, can you buy it?"

"Haha..." Old Huangtou didn't like to cause trouble at first, but when people asked him, he said honestly: "Then buy it. If you want to eat watermelon on a hot day, don't buy it from someone else."

Everyone looked at each other and said something, and Shen Cuihai's beard became angry.

"Okay, I'll wait and see if you can sow anything!"

Shen Cuihai couldn't quarrel with so many people by himself, so he had no choice but to drag the cow back home from the field angrily.

Shen Wanniang thought for a while and then whispered a few words to Shen Cuishan.

"Dad, my uncle's family is not reliable. Once our watermelons are planted, you will have to watch them every day."

"Okay, let me see." Shen Cuishan also understood what her daughter meant.

Huo Junan was originally here to take Shen Wanniang back home today. The house has been unusually deserted for the past few days when Shen Wanniang and Xiao Yue'er were not at home.

I don’t know if it’s his misunderstanding, but even the little donkey and Yuanbao don’t like to eat anymore.

When I came here, I happened to be plowing the fields, so I immediately took the donkey to plow the fields.

Mrs. Xu intended to let their family stay, but they were worried about Xiaochen being alone, so they went back that night.

The next day Huo Junan came alone and helped several families plow their fields with his little donkey.

Huo Junan is a man of few words, but he is steady and unambiguous in his actions.

Now, several families liked him very much and wanted to keep him for meals.

However, he refused and went back to his father-in-law's house to have dinner and then drove his donkey back to Qingquan Village.

Shen Wanniang had not been in Qingquan Village for a few days, but she was extremely kind when she came back. She could not help but take a few more glances at the small river at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Cuihua called her from a long way away and asked her to sit at home.

When passing by Uncle Niu's house, Uncle Niu insisted on giving Xiao Yue'er a few pieces of rock candy to eat.

Shen Wanniang got along more and more harmoniously with the villagers, and her heart felt warm.

Taking advantage of this less busy time, she told everyone about her new house, and it would be great if anyone who was free was willing to help.

Zhang Cuihua was the first to agree, "In my family, let your brother Zeng help you with the work."

Uncle Niu said happily, "I'm old and can't do much, so I'll help you move bricks."

"Great, I'll call the big guys over in two days."

It was originally planned to build a new house in the spring, but now that the ice and snow have melted, it is a convenient time to start construction. Shen Wanniang and Huo Junan put it together and decided to start work now.

Two days later.

A group of young and old men gathered in the Huo family's yard, each holding a pick and shovel in their hands.

This was Shen Wanniang's first time building a house, and she didn't understand the rules. She only listened to the rules told by Li Zheng and the elders in the village.

First, the tributes are laid out, fruits, wine and meat are laid out, and a stick of incense is offered to the Lord of the Land.

Although Shen Wanniang had said earlier that the matter of paying tribute would be left to Song Youzhi, she was just saying that. She never liked taking advantage of others.

After paying tribute to the landowner.

Huo Junan lit a whip, and everyone started shouting amidst the joyous crackling sounds.

"It's time to start work."

"good luck."

"Smooth and smooth."

After hanging the whip, the smell of firecrackers was still in the air.

Huo Junan said loudly: "Brothers and uncles, thank you for coming to help. Let's start work."

As Huo Junan finished speaking.

Everyone used their dicks to attack the old house.

Everyone pushed against the wall together.

Hearing a bang, the old house collapsed in a cloud of dust.

Seeing that the house she had lived in for so long ended like this, Shen Wanniang felt really emotional.

Ma Yulan came over and pulled her, "Why are you still standing there? The old ones won't go and the new ones won't come. Let's go cook."

Shen Wanniang agreed and hurriedly had lunch.

Even though the helpers were paid, the fellow villagers couldn't pay much.

Building a house is hard work, so naturally you have to provide food and drink for others.

The old house was demolished, and all the Huo family's belongings were temporarily placed at Gouzi's house. The four members of his family were also temporarily crowded into Gouzi's warehouse.

Old Man Huo knew that his family was going to build a house, and he told them to live in that courtyard. When he said this, Mrs. Wang's face almost dropped to her feet.

Shen Wanniang is not willing to go either. She doesn't have a lot of belongings. If something is lost or missing, it's up to someone to go.

Shen Wanniang prepared the lunch well. The meat dishes included pork knuckle, steamed fish and braised rabbit head, etc. It was very rich.

She can steam several pots of steamed buns and steamed buns at once.

There were several temporary stoves set up in Gouzi's yard, and the large pots on them were so busy that they were steaming hot.

In the steaming heat, Shen Wanniang saw Old Man Huo coming over with a thick wooden stick.

"Dad, why are you here? Your waist hasn't recovered yet."

"It's much better. I drink the medicine on time. It feels better quickly." Mr. Huo was also carrying a small wooden stool.

He sat down in the courtyard and said, "I won't do the hard work for now, and I will help you light the fire."

"Okay, don't be tired. When you are tired, just go back and lie down."

Old Man Huo helped add firewood to cook the meal. Although he was old and frail, he looked full of energy, which was a good look that was not seen in the past.

Another Huo family.

Song Youzhi frowned and said something bad.
