"I'm really sorry, sister-in-law. I haven't done anything yet and I'm already eating." Liu the bricklayer said unnaturally.

Chen Li responded calmly: "Brother Liu, please don't be polite. It's just breakfast. I'll have to trouble Fourth Uncle Liu to build the house."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Liu Si will do his best."

This was the first time he had seen his brother's wife since Brother Guanghui disappeared.

The person seemed to have become more beautiful, but he only dared to glance at her casually and didn't dare to look at her at all.

Probably everyone will inevitably feel favorable towards beautiful things and people when they see them.

Liu the roofer was also a mortal, so when he saw such a beautiful woman, he naturally admired her.

However, it was only in his heart, he never showed it on his face, and he definitely didn't dare to have any improper thoughts.

Not to mention that he and Guanghui are brothers, even the children in this family are people who cannot be messed with.

Therefore, when he returned, he had to remind his subordinates who were working there to be extra careful.

You must not make that little girl Qingxin unhappy, otherwise you will die without knowing how.

He looked at it and found that the well was a full 15 feet deep. There was no trace of a shovel. It must have been dug by the girl with her fists.

When Liu the bricklayer was eating porridge, the scene in his mind was: a man accidentally offended Xin'er girl, and was stabbed through by her fist, leaving a hole like a well, with steps on it.

"Uncle Liu, you guys are eating scallion pancakes. Just take them out and eat them. They won't taste good if they're cold." Chen Qingwen's words interrupted his wandering thoughts.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Wen, I'm full.

Show me the blueprints. Big column, second column, you two should mix the mud first, and then we can start laying the bricks when we are almost done. ” Liu the bricklayer stood up and gave the order.

"Understood! Fourth Uncle, we'll go right away."

Liu Dazhu and Liu Erzhu looked at the empty bowl of rice and said embarrassedly:

"Thank you, Brother Qingwen! Your porridge is so delicious. I ate it all for you."

Chen Qingwen smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, everyone in the family has already eaten, and it won't taste good if it gets cold at noon. Thanks to my brothers for helping me solve the problem."

Liu Dazhu looked at a pile of white flour-like things he had never seen before, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Brother Qingwen, are you planning to use the fine flour to build the wall?"

Liu Erzhu also had a face full of question marks.

Chen Qingwen pulled the corner of his mouth slightly: "Brother Dazhu, that is not white flour, you can't eat it. It will fog up and become hot when it first comes into contact with water, so be careful not to get burned."

Liu Erzhu kicked it curiously and said, "It really is like noodles. No wonder it needs to be covered up. It will fly away when the wind blows. Haha!"

After he finished speaking, he pointed at the cement and asked, "Brother Wen, what is this? How do we mix it?"

Chen Qingwen clapped his hands and praised, "As expected of a professional, you hit the nail on the head right away."

He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. Liu the bricklayer took it and saw the following words written on it:

Generally speaking, the weight ratio of mud, cement, lime and sand for brick walls is 1:1:6.

That is, one pound of cement and one pound of lime require six pounds of water.

"Do we have to weigh everything before we start mixing?" Liu Dazhui asked with a complicated expression.

“No, my eldest sister has already prepared what we need today.

This small pile contains 10 kilograms of lime, and this side contains 10 kilograms of fine sand, which need to be mixed with such a large bucket of water.

Then you can see how thick or thin it is, and then you will know how to mix it later." Chen Qingwen explained patiently.

The two brothers nodded quickly and emptied the water in the well in no time.

One person jumped in, and the other person used an ash bucket to hang mud and a bamboo basket to hang bricks down. Soon, a circle was formed at the bottom of the well.

Chen Qingwen was secretly amazed and went to discuss matters with Liu the bricklayer with peace of mind.

"Wen boy, let's go around together and tell your uncle in detail."

[Okay, actually the main courtyard is still two courtyards, but the two courtyards are not arranged in front and behind, but side by side. The only difference is that there are five more reverse-sitting rooms. ]

“Well, if we build front and back yards, then the back yard cannot have a reverse sitting room, and the current arrangement is equivalent to a three-courtyard.

But it is much simpler than a three-courtyard house.

Your eldest sister really makes the most of the land.

Moreover, the entire courtyard is very square.

Your uncle has been building houses for many years, but he has never seen a design like this."

After Liu the bricklayer finished speaking, he gave a thumbs up.

“The orientation of the entire main house has also changed, all facing the sun, with only the main courtyard gate facing east.

The west wall is 3 feet away from the bamboo fence, and the entire yard is 9 feet around. My eldest sister has marked the positions with lime, and all the tools needed are placed in the tool shed over there. "

[If I remember correctly, your eldest sister is only 9 years old this year, right? How come she is like a little adult, and she is more thoughtful about some details than adults! ]

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Uncle Liu, but don't praise her in front of her."

【Why? 】

"Qingwen is afraid that she will become proud."

[Hahaha! You are becoming more and more interesting. What is the other long strip in the picture?]

"The servants' quarters, the factory, the barn. This is nine feet wide from the bamboo fence. My eldest sister said it would be convenient for transportation."

[Also three courtyards? ]

“Yes, each area has different functions and must be separated.

In the south is the yard with the animal shed, and at the southernmost end against the wall is the carriage shed. In the servants' yard, at the northernmost end against the wall is the public toilet.

A transparent rain cover is built over the factory yard.”

【What is a transparent rain cover? 】

"The eldest sister didn't say this, you will know when the time comes."

[Qingwen, your family has taken great care of this land, hasn’t it?

There is not a single weed to be seen. Wasn’t it a wasteland before?

There doesn't seem to be any piles of grass around here, where did they go? 】

Chen Qingwen pointed to the ground and said, "They are all buried underground. My eldest sister said they can be used as fertilizer."

Liu the bricklayer didn't know what to say: "This girl is really smart. Wen'er, is that the shed you built over there?"

"Well, our family lived there before the house was built."

It is said that Chen Qingxin came to Qingfeng Town alone and his first stop was the grocery store.

I'm inviting people to dinner at home tomorrow, but there are no tables, chairs, or benches, not even bowls and chopsticks. What should I do?

It's impossible to borrow them all, right?

So, she went to the grocery store first.

"Hello, little girl, what do you need to buy? Please feel free to look around." The shopkeeper greeted her warmly when he saw a little girl with ordinary clothes and impeccable looks.

"Shopkeeper, can you bring out a few more of the backpacks and bamboo baskets that look good so I can see them? Can you deliver if you buy too much?

Forget it, I'll take it back myself."

Chen Qingxin's crystal clear eyes swept across every backpack and bamboo basket in the shop.

She pointed at a few that she liked and said to the shopkeeper:

"This, this, that... 5 backpacks of different sizes, and 10 bamboo baskets."

She prepared to put a backpack inside a backpack, and a bamboo basket inside a bamboo basket, and throw them into the space as soon as she left the shop.

As for bowls, plates, chopsticks, and basins, just use the backpack to throw them into the space.

The shopkeeper was very happy to see that she had picked so many at once, "Okay, young lady, please wait a moment, I will help you pack."
