After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

When I went out, I saw that the villagers were gathered in the central square of the village, and the village chief was standing on the platform.

A few people thought something big had happened in the village, so they hurried to the square.

As soon as they arrived, they heard the village chief shouting at them enthusiastically: "Here they come, Xu Ling and the others are here."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, motioning them to come over.

Xu Ling walked onto the stage. The village chief signaled to the villagers below to be quiet before he slowly spoke.

"I called everyone here today mainly to recruit workers for building a house for Brother Xu Ling and his family!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers below looked at each other.

"In order to not let everyone work in vain, the Xu family said that everyone who comes to help will be paid two cents a day, and meals will be provided!"

"Those with unique skills, such as carpenters and bricklayers, are paid five cents a day!"

Before the village chief finished speaking, villagers started signing up enthusiastically.

"I'm strong!"

"I me me!"

"Add me in, you bastard who doesn't make money is a bastard!"

……

Under the instigation of the village chief, more than a hundred people signed up in a short time.

Among those who registered, there was a thin little girl who caught Xu Qingqing's attention.

She was so thin that she looked like she could be blown down by a breeze, and her face was pale and thin, without much blood.

But it made her big, bright eyes more prominent, and the look she gave Xu Qingqing was full of determination and courage.

Seeing Xu Qingqing looking at her, the girl smiled. Although her smile was faint, it was like a ray of sunshine, warm and bright.

[He is a gentle person with a strong heart] Xu Qingqing sighed inwardly.

The eye contact was fleeting, but it left a mark in Xu Qingqing's heart.

"Now let's divide the work!"

"Those with great strength come here..."

"Carpenter this way!"

"Masons, come here..."

"Don't push, line up, one by one!"

Here, Xu Ling and Lao Yan divided the registered people into several groups, and then each person performed his or her duties according to the groups.

With the division of labor clarified, the crowd quickly divided into several groups. Everyone knew their responsibilities and the whole scene became orderly.

Next, you need to purchase some tools and cut down trees.

Xu Ling asked the village chief to help select a few people who frequently went purchasing to be responsible for this work, because they were familiar with the terrain and the distribution of tree species and could find the most suitable tools and trees.

In order to ensure the quality and quantity of the felled trees, Xu Ling also specifically instructed the tree cutters to select them carefully, and at the same time pay attention to protecting the environment and avoiding excessive exploitation.

Of course, these were all told to Xu Ling by Xu Qingqing in advance. After all, there was no such thing as the concept of sustainable development in this era.

Moreover, Anping Village is at the foot of the mountain. There is no need to say much about the importance of trees. They can save lives at critical moments.

After dividing into groups and specializing in their fields, Xu Ling took out the design draft in his arms.

Xu Qingqing drew this drawing very carefully.

The facade of the building has simple and bright lines, full of modern sense. The design of doors and windows adopts the ancient traditional lattice windows and arched door openings, which increases the classical charm of the building and ensures indoor lighting and ventilation.

In addition, the eaves and corners of the building are carved with exquisite patterns.

Overall, it is a building with classical charm yet modern feel.

As soon as the drawings were taken out, they aroused discussion among the villagers.

An elderly villager, his wrinkled face revealing his curiosity about new things: "Oh, look at this house, it's amazing! It looks weird and beautiful!"

"Yeah, I've never seen a house like this, it's unheard of!"

“This house is so peculiar!”

At this time, a young man pointed at a spot on the drawing with curiosity on his face: "Hey? What is this? I've never seen it before."

"Looking at the placement, is it a chair?"

"How is that possible? This doesn't even look like a chair!"

……

The villagers gathered around the drawings and had a heated discussion, asking questions non-stop.

Xu Ling hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry, I will invite everyone to come to my house when the house is built! Then we will know everything!"

"Okay! It's a deal, Brother Xu!"

"Okay! I'll definitely take a good look at this new and interesting house when the time comes!"

The village chief saw that everything was arranged and said, "Okay, now that everyone's tasks are arranged, let's start work tomorrow. Disband!"

With the announcement of dismissal, everyone dispersed and discussed the novel blueprint with their friends or people who were passing by.
