After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Shui Qing is discussing personnel placement issues with Fan Jin and Bai Manshan.

Twenty-three people, four families, can now live in the house vacated by Jiang Hehu and others, but after a long time, it will not be appropriate. They still need to have their own residence, so that everyone can live and work conveniently.

Bai Manshan did not regard himself as an outsider, took a big sip of mung bean soup, and said bluntly: "My suggestion is not to use bricks, but to use adobe for the walls. This can reduce the number of trips out.

I calculated that I can make four or five more trips to Baijiazhuang to transport potatoes, and I have to finish it in about half a month. The risk of going out will become greater in half a month. It will be the end of July in half a month, and the bricks and tiles will be transported. The number of targets may be much smaller, but it’s not none.

Therefore, it is possible to separate two houses at once. Four families have four houses, and there are about thirty cars in your village. The gray tiles used for two trips a day are probably enough. "

If the wall is built with bricks, it will be a lot. It is estimated that it will take at least 20 or 30 trips for more than ten days.

In a disaster year, when others can't afford to eat, how can you not be jealous when you see someone who can still build a house made of bricks and tiles?

But tiles are still needed. It’s rainy here. They don’t need to install tiles this year. They will still need to use them next year. Otherwise, they will have to replace the thatched roof endlessly, which is a waste of manpower.

You must know that Sister Shui Qing’s family is not without work now, but there is a lot of work waiting for people to do it. It is also good to save the manpower to do other things.

Fan Jin estimated the progress of the Ding family's wall. "If Aunt Ding's wall goes well, it can be completed in ten days. Then we can start digging adobe and digging drainage ditches."

"Yes, you can prepare these preliminary tasks when you have free time, but I figured your schedule is very full.

You see, if these men come back at the end of July, they will have to build their own houses. To build the houses, they need to dig adobe bricks, go out to transport gray tiles, dig drainage ditches, lay foundations and prepare beams... and again in August. The land was plowed to prepare for planting potatoes next season, and no one in the village had time to invite him.

You still have hundreds of acres of fields to plant, and in the meantime you have to take care of the medicinal materials on the mountain. I heard that you have discovered yam and Polygonum multiflorum that need cutting? Are you going to start sending people to Fucheng to sell rabbit meat next month? "Bai Manshan was chatting and thought about how much work their family had to do!

The main reason was that he wasted most of the time.

But there was nothing he could do. If the potatoes were not transported, the food rations for the more than 200 people in Baijiazhuang would not be available. Fortunately, Sister Shui Qing and Brother Jin were considerate of him and gave them to him without saying a word.

Shui Qing was afraid that Bai Manshan would have a psychological burden, so he said with relief: "The cuttings are almost done, and there are not that many vines to cut. The main thing in the future is to collect yam seeds and plant them. This work can be done by one person."

Fan Jin is the only one who can do it.

Not only did I ‘collect’ yam eggs, but I also had the task of sowing Polygonum multiflorum seeds—I bought dozens of kilograms of Polygonum multiflorum seeds from the shopping mall and tried to spread them on every corner of the two mountains.

Compared with cuttings, spreading seeds is much more efficient. They grow naturally among the trees in the mountains and forests. As long as you scatter more seeds, there will always be seeds that work hard to grow!

The people freed up can do other work.

As for selling rabbit meat, "There are not many meat rabbits for sale in the village now. In the beginning, I only went to Fucheng once every ten days and a half, and the round trip only took half a day, which was not bad."

Bai Manshan hummed, feeling relieved.

The men who came back were not idle in the afternoon after taking a nap.

Eighteen people did not stop all afternoon, doing a lot of ground stabbings and planting them all around the high ground where they lived.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. An extra layer of protection will add a layer of security.

These ground thorns are not fatal, but if they pierce the shoes and penetrate into the soles of the feet, the person's attack power is basically useless.

These thorns are all on the outermost edge. My family has repeatedly warned me, and the people in the village have also said hello. I am not afraid of accidental injury. If I really don’t listen to the advice and insist on going there, there is nothing I can do.

Qin Yilin looked envious.

The Ding family is at the very back of Shanshui Village. It is usually quiet. There are no other people in the front, rear or left. The space is spacious, and it is very convenient to dry medicinal materials.

But she gets worried when the world becomes unstable.

Especially since I have a little family and a daughter.

This is also the main reason why she actively responded to the proposal to build a wall and cooperated seriously.

With the protection of the wall, how many dangers can be blocked. At least evil people cannot break in batches. If they break in one by one, they can be killed one by one.

Qin Yilin was thinking about it, and suddenly thought that she and the head of the house should take the time to get more poisonous and itchy powder?

There is a way for fish, and there is a way for shrimp. Shui Qing is looking for vacant land to build walls and traps to recruit people. She can definitely use her expertise to make a lot of medicinal powder!

Although Shui Qing and Yan Qiu both said that they would let Jiajia move in with them, if a bad person really attacks or breaks in, they have to be killed, right?

Otherwise, it would be a disaster to keep it.

Just do it if you want to. After sharing their ideas, Qin Yilin and Ding Heli hit it off immediately. During the day, they took dry food and went all over the mountains and fields in search of poisonous herbs.

Jiajia continued to make dried yam at Shuiqing's house, and when they came back in the evening, they took them back together.

Without the help of Qin Yilin and the other two, it would be okay if Mother Hu and Yan Qiuxing went back to recruit their younger brother and the others, who did not need to go up the mountain to cut cuttings and have free time to top them.

The process of making dried yam is not complicated. It just involves washing, steaming, and cutting. Most of it is physical work, and Hu Mu is very good at it.

Yan Qiuxing's brother-in-law is also a person who is accustomed to doing the job. He learned quickly and was able to cut evenly in thickness in just a few times.

Ding Jiajia mostly looks at the heat, steaming time, etc.

The five people cooperated extremely well.

Shui Qing and Fan Jin, one is in charge of shopping in the mall and the other is in charge of working, always in harmony.

In the days that followed, everyone was busy.

The men who went out had this first experience, and as the road surface became drier and easier to walk on, the round trip time was shortened a lot, and they were basically controlled to return to the village before noon on the fourth day.

After some sleep, they could also help their family dig bricks for a while in the afternoon to build the fence. The more they saw when they went out, the more panicked they became. They wished they could build the entire village's fence overnight!

Otherwise, even if they go out, they will not worry about their wives, children, and children at home. They are afraid that evil people will break in while they are out, and they will be in constant fear every day.

The men from Zhulin Village were even more delighted to hear that adobe and tile houses were built for them.

Even if they only had half a day after returning, the eighteen men were reluctant to waste it. They took all the time to dig ditches and lay adobe, hoping to build a small home.

The owner's house has high brick walls and is indeed very comfortable to live in, but they still want to have a home of their own.

The five women, Li Dani, used their time in the morning and evening to carve out a large vegetable patch in front of and behind their house. Some of the vegetable seeds were given by their employer, and the other part were given by women from various families in the village.

They have a good relationship with their bosses and are extremely enthusiastic towards them.

He also told them that they can also grow potatoes in vegetable fields. If they grow more potatoes, they can be used as both vegetables and rice in the winter. They are delicious and can fill their stomachs.

They planted many, many vegetables, took care of the vegetable plots with great care, and lived their lives with great care.
