After all, the adobe houses they built themselves began to crack within a year or two. They were unsightly and dangerous. They were definitely not built as well as the craftsmen who specialized in building houses.

Furthermore, this house is going to be lived in for decades. If it is not repaired in a better way, it will suffer from leaks and wind.

In order to save some labor costs, the villagers took their entire family to dig the soil, and transported all the excavated soil back to their homestead.

They were originally farmers, and they must have seen adobe houses before. However, they did not know how to lay foundations. The adobe houses they built themselves could only be used as pigsties at most, and they were definitely not suitable for people to live in.

After all, the adobe house that I built would crack within a year or two. It was unsightly and dangerous. It was definitely not built as well as the craftsmen who specialized in building houses.

Furthermore, this house is going to be lived in for decades. If it is not repaired in a better way, it will suffer from leaks and wind.

Digging is much easier than running away from famine, and the children don't complain. The family's efforts are spent in one place, which does not seem boring, but is very fulfilling.

"Dad, I've dug half a truckload of soil. Am I good at it?" a child asked the man next to him with his head buried in the shovel.

"Oh, my good granddaughter has dug so much, she is really promising!" The old man looked at the little girl lovingly and praised her before the man could speak.

"Hehe, of course! I'm awesome." The little girl proudly held up her chest and raised her head, as if she had done something glorious.

The family members laughed when they saw her action.

Scenes like this can be seen everywhere in the village, and everyone regards this place as a second backing village to build.

On the second day, hundreds of craftsmen arrived in the village at dawn.

The village chief came out with the villagers to greet them and led them into the village. Chen Lazi looked at these people and nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone, we just settled here. There is nothing to entertain, just some simple food. I hope you don't dislike it."

"Li Zheng, look at what you said, we don't dare to dislike these meals, they are so good." A middle-aged man with a round figure replied with a smile.

Chen Lazi has already assigned tasks to them. She has already decided in advance which house each person will go to, and they will soon be assigned to the corresponding house.

take away.

The folk customs in Lingzhou are simple and honest, and those who can be controlled by Chen Lazi are not sneaky people. Whichever house they are assigned to, they will take care of their own affairs seriously.

The women set up earthen stoves outside, and as meal time approached, the aroma of meat wafted in the air, making people salivate.

"Auntie, is this your home-cooked food? Why does it smell so good? I have never smelled such a good smell!" Chen Lazi said, inhaling the meaty aroma floating in the air.

"Well, you have worked hard, you should eat more later." Nian smiled and looked at the outline of the homestead that had begun to take shape.

When the meal was ready, the hungry craftsmen came over after washing their hands and were all surprised to see the sumptuous meal on the table.

Usually only when they work for a wealthy family, they will provide meals, and usually two meals are provided. Unexpectedly, one meal for the Shen family is worth two meals for a wealthy family.

The sizzling fatty meat and the sweet and sour pork filled with sauce made them drool just by looking at it. They had never seen such good food before. Just seeing it made people drool. They didn’t expect to come to the village. I unexpectedly met such a good owner when I was working.

They all knew that the Shen family was rich, but they did not expect that they would do so well and be so generous. After everyone finished the meal, they had to work hard.

At the end of the day, all the foundations have been dug, and the rest of the houses are similar, especially the simple adobe houses with most of the walls built up. It is estimated that they will be completed in another day.

"Auntie, let's go back today. When we come tomorrow, we will pull the wood over. Several adobe houses will be beamed tomorrow." Chen Lazi said to Nian, these words, and other people's homes I also said that I am afraid that if I come a little late tomorrow, people don’t know the reason and think they are lazy.

Nian nodded: "Okay, okay, go back quickly. If you don't go back, it will be dark later."

"Okay aunt, I'll leave first, they are still waiting for me."

"Are there enough torches? If not enough, my aunt will get you two more." Nian looked at the darkening sky and felt a little worried.

"That's enough, Auntie, go back quickly. I'm leaving." Chen Lazi nodded, turned to the craftsmen and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, we have to go back."

Everyone nodded and got on the oxcarts. These oxcarts pulled bricks today and will go back to pull wood and tiles tomorrow.

Those who work in their profession still need a means of transportation for convenience.

Early the next morning, at dawn, Nian got up and kneaded the dough to steam the steamed buns. It's very foggy in the morning, especially in this mountain forest, which is completely white. When the fog is so thick, you can't even distinguish the southeast from the northwest.

"Grandpa and Grandma, there is porridge in the pot. Just wait until you wake up to eat. I have to go to Xinmin Village to work, so I'm leaving first." Chen Lazi knocked on Grandma's door and whispered at the door.

"Sister. Why are you going out so early?" Chen Lazi's grandfather took the cotton-padded clothes hanging beside the bed, got up and was about to come out.

"Grandpa, please don't come out. It's very foggy outside. Be careful of catching a cold."

"Sister, then you should wear thicker clothes and bring the cotton-padded clothes with you to avoid catching a cold when you go there." Her grandma warned her with concern on the bed.

"Okay, grandpa and grandma, I'll leave first and you guys can sleep for a while." After Chen Lazi finished speaking, he tightened his clothes.

It was still dark yet, but as the general foreman, she had to go to the lumber store in advance to let the guys load the truck. After her uncles and uncles passed by, she could drive the truck away directly.

"Sister, please go slower on the road."

"I know, grandpa, grandma, I'm leaving." Chen Lazi waved his hand at the door, turned around and left.

As soon as Chen Lazi walked out of the yard, he heard a dog barking from someone's yard in the alley.

"What are you calling? Stop screaming. It's scary." Chen Lazi frowned and turned to leave.

The dogs in the village barked very frequently. Chen Lazi heard it many times but didn't take it seriously.

Soon she arrived at the lumber store, and the clerk saw her coming. He immediately waved to her and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, are you here so early? But you have to wait for a while before the workers come. It will probably take a while to pretend. If it is ready, I will tell you right away. "

"Then trouble you."

"No, thank you for ordering so much wood. We workers can get more money every month."

"Well, I understand, just go about your business."

"okay!"

Chen Lazi found a chair and sat down, waiting for the workers to come over.

Chen Lazi carefully inspected the wood and found that the quality of the wood loaded onto the cart was very good. In addition, the workers were hardworking and quick, so in a short time, all the wood had been loaded onto the oxcart.
