Even though Widow Jia now has a net worth of more than two thousand taels, she has been poor for half her life. When she suddenly heard that seventy taels of silver were going to be spent, she still felt very sad, but there was nothing she could do. This material must be purchased.

The oxcart arrived at Widow Jia's house first. Li Qingxiu helped unload the supplies. Widow Jia returned to the house, poured a bowl of water and gave Li Qingxiu seventy taels of silver.

"Here are seventy taels. You put them away and put the supplies on the ground. I will clean them up later. You can take a break and drink some water. You have been tired for a day and you didn't even drink any water."

Li Qingxiu took the silver and water without any courtesy. She drank it in one go and still felt a little unsatisfied.

Seeing this, Widow Jia quickly went to the house to get a clay pot, and then poured a bowl of water for Li Qingxiu. Li Qingxiu drank three large bowls in a row before she quenched her thirst.

When Li Qingxiu drove the bullock cart back to his home, he saw Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang coming to return the bullock cart.

However, Li Qingxiu asked Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang to pull the ox cart back, and said there was no need to rush to return it. He said the ox cart could be left at their home first and could be used to transport materials during this period.

Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang felt that what Li Qingxiu said was right, so they took the bullock cart back to their home. Before leaving, they promised Li Qingxiu that they would take good care of the two cows.

Fortunately, the cowshed had been built before, so Li Qingxiu took the cows to the backyard cowshed and placed them there.

Da Mao opened his big donkey eyes and watched with great dissatisfaction as Li Qingxiu placed the oxen, and then put a few big white geese in the empty pig house, which was noisy to the donkey.

Humph, does the master want to open a zoo? Every day he brings in all kinds of animals to his house. The most disgusting thing is that he actually gives his favorite cabbage to those geese.

When Li Qingxiu heard Da Mao keep calling to her, she thought Da Mao wanted to eat cabbage, so she took out a cabbage from the storage compartment and threw it to Da Mao.

She put the supplies into the storage compartment before returning to the front yard. Seeing Li Qingfeng practicing calligraphy, Li Qingxiu was about to draw drawings for making arrows.

Just when he was about to start writing, Li Qingxiu suddenly remembered that he had not bought the four treasures of the study. At that time, he only bought daily necessities and food.

But Li Qingxiu drew several pictures in a row and was not satisfied, so she could only rub them out and try to draw again.

Looking at a few discarded pieces of white paper, a somewhat distressed Qingfeng Li expressed his thoughts: "Sister, you might as well give them two arrows and let them follow suit."

Li Qingxiu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it, and he smiled and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of that! Wouldn't it be simpler and clearer to just copy the real thing for them!"

Li Qingxiu, who was worried about something, was also a little tired. She asked Li Qingfeng to finish practicing calligraphy, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the early morning, every household in Lihua Valley got up very early. Except for the children who were left to take care of the ignorant children and the children who were going to study, everyone else went out.

Although there was a meeting last night and everyone knew that the wall was going to be built, everyone still didn't know what they were going to do, so they all stood in the open space of Lihua Valley and waited for Li Zheng's arrangements.

Because Li Qingxiao is now in the stage of crawling and learning to walk, someone must be around to take care of him.

And Lihua Valley can't do it without Li Qingxiu. Li Qingxiu and Li Lei have to go out to protect everyone's safety.

Therefore, Li Qingxiu could only ask Widow Jia to help take care of Li Qingxiao, so that Li Qingfeng could have a hot meal when he came back from school.

Widow Jia readily agreed to Li Qingxiu's request. She liked this lovely child Li Qingxiao very much.

Li Qingxiu thanked Widow Jia and headed to the open space in Lihua Valley. At this moment, many people had gathered in the open space, and everyone was talking about what kind of job they would get.

When Li Zheng saw that Li Qingxiu had finally arrived, he immediately waved for Li Qingxiu to come to him.

Li Qingxiu quickly came to Li Zheng, took out two arrows from his small bag and handed them to Li Zheng.

"Uncle Li Zheng, please give these two arrows to the uncles in charge of carpenters and blacksmiths, and ask them to make them according to the appearance of these two arrows. The arrows can be smaller, but they must be sharp."

Li Zheng took the arrows and nodded: "I melted a lot of armor before, and now it can be put to use. I will give these two arrows to them later, but how many arrows do you need?"

Li Qingxiu thought for a while and then said: "Let's make a thousand of them first. Also, the folks who are going out of Lihua Valley later should wear some armor for self-defense. Both men and women must wear it."

Li Lei hesitated and said, "What if we go out wearing armor and are discovered?"

Li Qingxiu said indifferently: "If you find it, you will find it. Are humans scarier than man-eating monsters?"

When everyone heard it, they thought that compared to humans and monsters, they were simply not on the same level.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Li Zheng began to assign work.

"Li Datian, you take the third uncle, the sixth uncle, the ninth uncle and a few other boys from their family to burn the lime, and ask the few boys to get a pair of armor, then put them on and go to collect the lime blocks. You and your third uncle will be responsible for the firing."

"Okay!" Li Datian, several old men from the Li family and their grandsons all agreed in unison.

Li Zheng continued: "Okay, you go and get busy now, Li Aniu, you take a hundred brothers to the racecourse to match the carriage, and then each of you goes to get a suit of armor to put on.

Bring your machete for self-defense. You are responsible for finding the stones for building the wall and transporting them back by horse-drawn carriage. This will make it faster and you won’t be too tired. "

From now on, when we go out to take action, we have to go to the mountains one by one and not be too spread out. In this way, Li Lei and I can take care of everyone's safety. Today, everyone will go to the nearby mountain first. "Li Qingxiu added.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with Li Qingxiu's decision.

At this time, Li Aniu also loudly agreed and quickly organized more than a hundred strong men and walked towards the racecourse.

Li Zheng suddenly realized a very serious problem, that is, there was no glutinous rice. This glutinous rice was the most important material for building the wall, but what should we do now?

Seeing Li Zheng become silent, Li Qingxiu asked, "Uncle Li Zheng, what's wrong?"

Li Zheng sighed and said sadly: "I just remembered that we don't have glutinous rice. Without glutinous rice, we can't make glutinous rice mortar and we can't build walls."

When Li Qingxiu heard this, she immediately summoned the system mall to see if there was any glutinous rice. Fortunately, the mall sold it, and Li Qingxiu felt relieved. She first exited the system mall interface and then clicked to sign in.

【drop! Signing in successfully today, congratulations to the host for getting 50 pounds of glutinous rice flour. 】

Li Qingxiu's eyes lit up. Her system mall had been upgraded, and her purchase share had also increased to eight.

A bag of glutinous rice weighs one hundred kilograms, which means there are eight hundred kilograms of glutinous rice. Plus the fifty kilograms of glutinous rice flour that the system just checked in, it is enough for these two days.
