Jiang Feng now took the time to look at the space. The chicks inside had grown a lot, but this time there were more chicks. There were more than a dozen fish in the pond with bulging bellies. After the fish were born, the chickens and fish would be free in a month at most. There were too few living things on the market now. There were no ducks, sheep, pigs or cows. When the three-year difficult period came, people in the countryside should have taken these chicks out to exchange for food.

I looked at the time, fetched some water, took a shower, and went to bed.

On the second night, after dinner, Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu went to Li Ming's house with a bag and told Li Ming and his wife about this. They would get one meal at noon every fifteen to twenty days, and help out with things like boiling water, for one dollar a day. He Yuzhu would deliver the food for the workers at noon. Li Ming was working outside, and there was only one adult and two children at home, so they ate together. Li Ming's wife was very happy. Not only could she earn money, but she could also have a meal, and the family would only have to spend some firewood. She agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Feng also told Li Ming's family about the three aunts in the front yard, so that they would have an idea. Don't let anything about the money slip out in public. Just say that they help with cooking and have a meal at noon. There is three days of food in the bag. See how many people there are tomorrow. If it is not enough, take more.

They turned around and went to the third uncle's house. The third uncle happened to be sitting at home and asked them to sit down. Jiang Feng spoke first: "Third uncle, Zhuzi's house will be renovated tomorrow. Yesterday, the third aunt said that she could ask your family for help. So Zhuzi and I came to ask for help."

The third uncle narrowed his eyes. The third aunt had already told him about this matter. However, seeing that the two of them didn't bring anything, he felt a little unhappy, but he still asked, "Zhu Zi is getting married, it's a good thing. Tell me, what can you do for me, third uncle?"

"It's just some of the furniture in the house that needs to be moved out during the renovation. I'm thinking of asking Jie Chengjie from Uncle San's house to help move it. We've also checked it out. If the cabinets and wardrobes in the house are not needed at that time, we'll give them to you."

When the third uncle heard that something was being delivered, he immediately sat up straight, adjusted his glasses, and started to think. If a few boys helped, these things could still be used, and they could also replace the three-legged cupboard in the house. The replaced ones could be used as firewood, and the wardrobe could be kept. The eldest son was seventeen or eighteen years old, so he should put it somewhere first.

He said to the two of them, "Sure, I'll ask Jie Cheng and Jie Fang to come over and help. If there's anything you don't want in the house, Uncle San will help you deal with it. But you're not here during the day, so would you like Aunt San to help look after it for you?"

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Feng spoke up: "Uncle, just move the things, but move them to my room first. Brother Zhuzi needs to sleep here for a few days, and I can give them to you after he is ready over there. I won't bother Aunt to take care of it. Li Ming's family from the Central Court can help out, and we have to cook a meal for the masters at noon."

After hearing this, the uncle looked unhappy: "Your aunt is also a good cook, she can also help with cooking."

"Hey, Uncle Three, this is because Aunt Three is old and the house is in a mess. Not only do I have to cook, but I also have to go in and take a look, boil some water, pick up some odds and ends to help. I'm also afraid that Aunt Three will be tired. Only Li Ming's wife and the two kids will have lunch with them."

After hearing this, the third uncle stopped talking. It was fine to help, but if it was just to have a meal, he would not be competitive. It was impossible for him to let others take care of a family of six, and he had to do so many things. He stopped talking about this matter, but still tried to fight: "Then you have to give all the unwanted things in your house to the third uncle. When are you going to move?"

"Uncle, is it okay now? It's not too dark yet. I'll go find a cart and move the big stuff directly to my room. We've almost packed up our stuff, so I just need some help carrying it."

"Okay, Jiecheng, Jiefang, go help your brother Zhuzi and move all the things out of the house."

Two voices of agreement came from the room, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang came out, and Yan Fugui said, "Go and listen to your brother Zhuzi, move to the door and use a cart to pull it to Xiaofeng's house."

The two of them responded, and He Yuzhu took them to the main house. Jiang Feng rented a cart from the next yard, gave it ten cents, pushed it back, and picked it up directly from the door and went into the yard.

When Jiang Feng arrived at the central courtyard, some packed things had already been placed at the door. Jiang Feng went into the house to take a look and simply took out all the miscellaneous items and made a trip first.

He Yushui was also taking things out one by one. When Li Ming's wife next door saw this, she asked Li Ming to bring his eldest son, Li Jianguo, out to help. Soon the cart was full of pots and pans, as well as clothes and quilts. Jiang Feng pulled the cart to the front yard, and He Yuzhu ordered, "Brother Li, ask Jianguo and Yushui to help take things out to the house. You just stay here and help us carry the big things."

After hearing this, Li Ming told the eldest brother, and Li Jianguo and He Yushui went to the front yard, and like ants moving house, they took in the packages one by one. When they returned to the middle yard, all the tables, chairs and cupboards had been moved out. It took about an hour to move all the things in the house. Jiang Feng washed his hands and went to He Yushui's room to bring out a plate with more than ten steamed buns on it. He gave two to Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, and four to Li Ming's family. The rest of the cousins ​​also picked up the buns and started eating.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang had been hungry for a long time. The only food at home was steamed corn bread with pickles and corn porridge, without any oil or water. It was not enough for a young boy to eat, not to mention that he had to move things, which made him hungrier even faster.

The two of them took the steamed buns and ate one in two or three bites. They only drank a sip of water when they were eating the second one. Jiang Feng saw that they were very hungry, so he handed over two more. Then the steamed buns on the plate were gone. However, Jiang Feng and his friends were not very hungry, so one was enough for them.

After they finished eating, Jiang Feng went out to send the cart home and said hello to the Third Uncle: "Thank you, Third Uncle."

The third uncle had a gloomy face at the time. When he heard Jiang Feng talking, he just hummed. Several people were eating steamed buns outside, but they were all seen by the third aunt. She came back and told the third uncle about it. As soon as Jie Chengjie returned to the house, the door was closed. The third uncle started to teach his son again, but he didn't beat him like Liu Haizhong did, making his child cry.

The things were also arranged in Jiang Feng's room, but it was a little crowded. However, it didn't matter, as it would only take half a month. Jiang Feng asked Yu Shui to go back and take a shower and rest. He then went back to the main house with He Yu Zhu and cleaned it inside and out to see if there was anything missing. When they saw that there was nothing left, they turned off the lights, closed the door, fetched some water, and went back to Jiang Feng's room to take a shower and sleep.

At dawn the next day, He Yuzhu got up early and started steaming steamed buns and corn bread in the kitchen, and made a big pot of egg soup. It was the first day for the masters to work, and the owner also prepared some things as a token of appreciation to encourage the masters to work harder. At eight o'clock in the morning, Master Lei brought five people into the yard. Jiang Feng saw them and greeted them quickly. Master Lei also knew that the owner had a house in the front yard, so he came over with his people.

"Hello, Master Lei. Hello, masters, everyone."

Jiang Feng greeted them and handed over the cigarette in his hand. Several people took the cigarettes and put them to their ears. Jiang Feng continued, "Master Lei, have you had breakfast? There is nothing to prepare. I steamed some buns. Everyone should eat first before working."

Master Lei declined, saying, "I've already eaten. I ate at home before going out."

At this time, He Yuzhu also came out. Jiang Feng quickly introduced the two parties and invited them into the house. He Yuzhu said, "Master Lei, this is the first time we meet. You see, I am usually not free, so I took a leave this morning to wait for you to come later. I have prepared everything. Please give me some face. Everyone can work better after eating."

Master Lei saw that it was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so he also invited a few people: "It's a kind gift from the boss, everyone should eat something, Xiaowu, you take a few steamed buns and watch the ingredients outside."

A man answered, and Jiang Feng quickly took two bowls, put five steamed buns in one, poured a bowl of soup, and helped to deliver it.

Although they had eaten at home, they only had some steamed bread and corn porridge at most. With that little food, they had come here to work and their stomachs were not empty. Since the boss was willing and the master had given the order, they started eating without any worries.

He Yushui had finished eating long ago and went to school, bringing the steamed buns for lunch with him. Both of them had asked for leave today, He Yuzhu went later, and Jiang Feng also took two classes. There were still some things to take care of at home, so they left as agreed and would not be back at noon.

Soon, all the steamed buns in the pot were eaten, and a few cornbreads were also eaten. Master Lei saw that they were almost done, so he stood up and said to Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu: "Master, please rest assured, I guarantee that this job will satisfy you. You all remember this and do your job well. If you don't do it well, don't say you are the successor of Yangshi Lei."

Several big men said yes. The master has brought up his ancestors. If they don't do their job well, they won't be able to do this job in this area. Jiang Feng also said to Master Lei: "Master Lei, thank you. It's almost done. I will take a few masters in to take a look. As for lunch, I have also hired someone to prepare it. Don't worry, you will be full."

"Thank you, sir. Let's go."

He Yuzhu and Jiang Feng led a few people into the middle courtyard. He Yuzhu led a few masters into the house, and Jiang Feng took Master Lei to Li Ming's house. Li Ming's wife was washing clothes at the door. Jiang Feng pointed at Li Ming's wife and said, "Master Lei, there is no one at home at noon. I asked Li's sister-in-law to help cook. If the masters need water or something, just ask Li's sister-in-law."

Li Ming's wife also stood up quickly, greeted Master Lei, and said, "Master Lei, my last name is Liu Guihua. If you need anything, just call me. The stove is burning. If you need water, just call me and I'll bring it to you. If no one is in the room, just come over. The stove is at the door."
