After explaining everything, Zhou Rongrong began to assign tasks to the babies.

"Manman, Dabao, you two are responsible for digging the pit."

"Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao, you two are responsible for planting."

"Okay, mother."

"Yes, Auntie."

"Erlang, Sanlang, you two are responsible for planting rice."

"Yes."

After the division, they became busy and enthusiastic. On the paddy field side, Zhang Erlang and Zhang Sanlang rolled up their trousers and went into the field. They divided the green rice seeds and planted them one by one according to the positions of the wires. One look at the rows of rice planted straight, and it was obvious that they were veterans in farming, so there was no need to worry at all.

The one who needed to be worried was Zhou Rongrong. Dabao used his hoe to dig out an earthworm half the size of his little finger, and it fell on Zhou Rongrong's shoe. Zhou Rongrong's eyes rolled back and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Erbao supported his mother in time, and then Sanbao picked up the earthworm and threw it far away.

Zhou Rongrong finally came to her senses. She felt her head buzzing and she felt not feeling well at all.

From the high spirits and eagerness just now, he now looked visibly wilted.

Wow, this is so scary, so scary. Are earthworms so big and so long?

Zhou Rongrong's hands were shaking as she held a chili seedling. Everyone saw this and even Manman couldn't help laughing.

Sibao even bent over with laughter.

"Haha, mom, you're afraid of earthworms?"

Zhou Rongrong wanted to say, "I'm not afraid of earthworms, I'm afraid of mollusks." But how could she let the children see her short? She said with her neck stiff.

"I, I'm not afraid, not afraid, not afraid."

Erbao was in a playful mood, so she picked up a dead branch nearby and threw it directly towards her mother.

Zhou Rongrong suddenly launched herself into the air and jumped far away.

"Hahahahaha."

Now that it was better, several children smiled, and Zhou Rongrong's fair little face turned red.

"Well, you're afraid, everyone has something to be afraid of. Erbao, if you scare me again next time, I'll spank you."

Erbao touched his nose and went about his business.

After playing for a while, things were back on track. If Jiang Manman and Dabao saw earthworms while turning the soil, they would deliberately dig them far away so as not to scare Zhou Rongrong.

After one morning, the group made good progress and finished planting all the peppers. They went home, had lunch, and then continued.

In two days, three acres of land were planted and the next step was watering.

Zhou Rongrong's land is some distance away from the river, and carrying water is really a tiring job. Even someone as strong as Zhou Rongrong is hoping that it will rain.

But Zhang Dalang said that it didn't look like it would rain that day. Zhou Rongrong didn't believe it at first, but everyone in their family said that Zhang Dalang was an expert at predicting the weather, and if he said it wouldn't rain, it wouldn't rain.

Zhou Rongrong decided to be obedient and took the four babies and the two brothers from the Zhang family to water the two acres of dry land. He was so tired that he could not even straighten his back.

Thinking about the many rural areas she had seen in her previous life where canals were dug into every field, she decided that when she had money she would definitely have people dig water there.

After she finished her work and the children went to school, Zhou Rongrong began to count her money, and it amounted to four hundred taels.

Building a house is finally on the agenda, hahahaha, so happy.

First of all, there must be a room for each of the four children. For her and Manman, there must be at least six rooms, three storerooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Zhou Rongrong thought about it and decided to build a small courtyard with two entrances. In this way, it would be best to have fifteen rooms of all kinds.

There is also a workshop. The workshop is a simple large square house of about 30 square meters. According to her current scale, she will build two rooms first, and then add more if they are not enough. The main thing is that she doesn't have much money.

In Dazhou Village, you can build as many houses as you want on wasteland. All you have to do is buy the wasteland from the village chief.

Zhou Rongrong observed the situation around her home. Fortunately, her home was at the end of the village and had no neighbors, so she still had land.

Zhou Rongrong walked around and looked around, and then decided where to build her house.

Then he went into the house and started drawing the construction drawings. He wanted to build a courtyard house with two courtyards in the shape of a Chinese character "日", facing north and south. The two courtyards would be divided into a front yard and a back yard. Zhou Rongrong planned to use the front yard as a warehouse and an ear room, and the back yard as a residence.

There is a small yard in the middle for growing flowers and plants. Zhou Runrun also wants to enclose an area behind the house to raise cows, chickens, ducks, and build a shed. She also wants to clear out a piece of land of five or six mu for growing vegetables.

With this calculation, we can know that her yard is three acres of land, which is simply the largest house in the mountain village.

Not counting the workshops set up around the yard, Zhou Rongrong didn't know if she had enough money, so she called Aunt Zhang in to show her the blueprints.

"Aunt Zhang, do you know a team of workers who can do a good job repairing the house?"

Aunt Zhang took the blueprint Zhou Rongrong gave her, looked at it carefully, and counted how many houses there were. She was shocked when she saw it.

"Rongrong, you want to build so many rooms?"

Zhou Rongrong nodded and said, "Yes, we have many children and people in our family, so I will build a few more rooms to make the children live more comfortably."

Aunt Zhang couldn't say anything. The man was very capable. Such a grand house was the first of its kind in the mountain village.

"I know them, but none of them can repair your house. Your house is difficult to build. The people we know are specialized in building mud houses in the village. You may have to ask if there are any in the town."

Zhou Rongrong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go deliver the goods tomorrow and ask Boss Li by the way."

Since Zhou Rongrong had made the decision, she planned to finish the matter as soon as possible so that she could move into the new house as soon as possible. She was a little impatient.

When the children came back from school, Zhou Rongrong told them that a new house was going to be built. The children were so happy that they huddled together to look at the blueprints.

Although they couldn't understand it very well, it didn't stop them from choosing rooms. Zhou Rongrong let them choose, and also let Manman choose. Anyway, she had already said that she wanted to live in the main house. Hehe, adults should live in a big house.

After the children have made their choices, Zhou Rongrong will keep them in mind and decorate them according to the children's preferences when the house is built. For example, the eldest child likes something more elegant, while the fourth child likes something more lively.

Zhou Rongrong remembered everything the next day.

After sending the children to school, Zhou Rongrong took Jiang Manman to the town in a donkey cart.

After the delivery was completed, they had to have a meal at Yunwei Zhai as usual. At first, Zhou Rongrong was still very embarrassed, but gradually she became more familiar, ordered her favorite dishes, and showed off her thick skin.

Manman felt very embarrassed. Not to mention such a high-end restaurant, she had never been to such a restaurant in the town. She held the chopsticks and didn't know how to start.

Boss Li said with a smile.

"Don't be polite, little girl. Eat and try our flavors."

Jiang Manman picked up the vegetables beside her and took a bite. It tasted so good that she squinted her eyes.

“It’s delicious, very delicious.”

Boss Li was very happy to see the sincerity of the little girl's praise.

"Hey, the vegetables here are all seasoned with thick chicken broth."

Zhou Rongrong thought of chicken essence, which seemed pretty good. In that era, there were relatively few seasonings, just salt, soybean oil, vinegar, and even spices.

Chicken essence can be made, and it would be even better if their neighboring county town is by the sea. However, Zhou Rongrong is mainly concerned about the house now, so she showed the production drawing to Boss Li and asked.

"Boss Li, do you know any craftsmen who can be introduced to me? You also know my little yard. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. When the children grow up, they will need their own rooms."

Of course Boss Li knew it, so he took the drawing and said.

"Let's get to know each other. Go home and wait. I'll contact you and then I'll send someone to look for you in Dashan Village."

Of course Boss Li would help. Not only did the man ask him to help, but they were now in a cooperative relationship, so he would help with even this small favor.

The two of them drove the donkey cart back. On the way back, Zhou Rongrong seemed bored and chatted with Jiang Manman.
