The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

However, Chang Wei had no worries and no relatives or friends, so he just felt a little touched.

He is not a fallen leaf that cannot return to its roots. He is more like a dandelion that does not seem to care where it floats.

A thought flashed through my mind, and judging from the size of the sole, it seemed that he had made it for myself again.

Liu Cuilan did not doubt Chang Wei's words at all and praised him. "Wow! Ah Wei, you can also do carpentry! You are a child who can do so many things. You are a good hunter and a carpenter. What else can't you do..."

Chang Wei felt a little embarrassed by the praise. He touched the back of his head, smiled, and made up an excuse.

"Aunt, I learned hunting by myself, but carpentry is a family tradition. I learned it from my grandfather."

After passing several houses, Liu Cuilan took Chang Wei into a yard.

Liu Cuilan called out twice as soon as she entered the yard. "Zhenghe, Xiaomei~~"

When they asked, a mature and plump woman in her thirties came out from the side room, with her hair tied up and her sleeves rolled up. She must be working. When she saw the two of them, she greeted them.

"Sister-in-law, Awei is here! Come in and sit down."

Liu Cuilan waved her hand. "We are a family, why be polite!"

Zhou Xiaomei looked at Chang Wei and said with a smile, "Awei, thank you for giving Liuya the rabbit."

After she said that, Chang Wei knew who she was. Qin Jingru's mother, as expected, had the same gene, Zhou Xiaomei was not bad looking.

I was curious! She actually knew me.

"It's okay, Aunt San, change the child's mouth."

Liu Cuilan walked up and started chatting.

"Xiaomei, what are you doing?"

Zhou Xiaomei answered with a simple smile.

"Pickled sweet and sour garlic, the kids love it."

"Oh! If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. I'll pickle some later."

Liu Cuilan chatted for a few words and then went straight to the point.

"By the way, where is Zhenghe's set of carpentry tools? Wei wants to borrow them."

"It's in the house! I'll wash my hands and get it."

As Zhou Xiaomei spoke, she went into the kitchen to wash her hands, then trotted to the main room and soon came out, carrying a homemade wooden box in her hands with difficulty.

Chang Wei quickly stepped forward to take over.

When I opened it, I saw a hammer, an axe, a chisel, an ink fountain, a wooden ruler, a push knife, and a saw.

The equipment is complete and Qin Zhenghe is quite professional!

As the old saying goes, a carpenter should bring a plane, an axe, a saw, a square, a plumb line, a chisel and a hammer. If you have these seven items at home, you can travel around the world without being surprised.

"Aunt, Uncle, please don't use these tools for the time being! I need to borrow them for a few days."

Zhou Xiaomei smiled and replied, "No, the wheat harvest is coming soon, and no one would hire him to make furniture at this time, so you can use him, Awei."

"Aunt San, I'll send it back when I'm done. I'll be leaving now."

Liu Cuilan stayed to chat with Zhou Xiaomei, while Chang Wei left Qin Zhenghe's house, returned the tools to the village office, took an axe and a bundle of ropes and went up the mountain.

The target is those pine trees that have died recently and have not aged. Fresh pine trees are easy to lose their shape when they dry up. The dead ones are drier, have less water and are lighter, and are easier to process when they come back.

Chang Wei glanced across the hillside, and it was clear at a glance where the dead pine trees were among the emerald green mountains.

We worked until dark, felling more than a dozen pine trees and transporting them to the stone ground where we were going to build the house. We cleaned up the branches and piled them up. The main trunks of the pine trees were of different lengths and sizes, and none of them were very thick, with a diameter of no more than 30 centimeters.

Chang Wei estimated that he would need more than a dozen beams to build the house, plus a cart and some furniture, so he expected to be busy all day tomorrow.

I had already eaten a few buns to fill my stomach on the mountain, and then I went to Qin Zhengshan's house when I came back. The construction of the house could start now.

Arriving at Qin Zhengshan's house, Chang Wei spoke directly.

"Uncle Shan, please help me find some people to build the house tomorrow. I want to build it before the wheat harvest."

Qin Zhengshan smiled and patted Chang Wei on the shoulder.

"Good boy, you are making money really fast! I will find someone for you tomorrow. We have ready-made adobe bricks, which are newly made by the village laborers in their spare time. They are all made by experienced hands and are reliable and solid. I told you last time that it will take half a month to build three main rooms and a small courtyard, and the labor will be paid 40 cents a day."

Forty cents for labor is indeed not expensive, and meals are not included. Chang Wei smiled and touched the back of his head.

"Thank you, Uncle Shan. I have almost finished digging the foundation trench, but I haven't had time to get the foundation stones."

Qin Zhengshan is very experienced in this area and said it calmly.

"You finished the foundation trench so quickly! That makes things a lot easier. Don't worry about the stones. How can we be short of stones since we are living on the mountain? We can collect enough in one day."

"Uncle Shan, thank you for your help. I will treat everyone to a good meal when the house is built. I will be back now."

The matter was settled, and Chang Wei and Qin Zhengshan said goodbye.

Go home and fetch some water from the well to rinse.

While I was taking a bath, a figure came into the yard in a hurry.

Chang Wei turned around and looked up, and their eyes met.

"Ah~"

Qin Huairu walked into the yard carrying clothes and happened to meet Chang Wei who was taking a shower in his shorts. She subconsciously called out and quickly squatted down, covering her face.

Her heart was beating wildly, her face was hot, and a blush quickly spread over her entire face. But she didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so she squinted her eyes, lifted her eyelids, and peeked through her fingers.

There were water drops on the neat short hair, flowing down the forehead and cheeks, spreading along the neck to the collarbone, sliding along the angular muscle gap on the chest, passing through the abdominal muscles, and finally disappearing in the white shorts at the waist. Qin Huairu couldn't take her eyes off the tall and strong figure, the handsome face, and the deep and attractive eyes under the moonlight.

Chang Wei lowered his eyes and glanced at Qin Huairu, without any surprise or embarrassment of being seen.

His hands moved smoothly, and he quickly rinsed, dried, and went into the house.

〈Qin Huairu, you are doing this on purpose! You are always so elusive.〉

〈Look! My eight-pack abs, my dog ​​waist, my brushed shoulders, my skinny belly, which woman wouldn’t say something funny when seeing me? It’s so cool!〉

"The gaps between your fingers are so big, don't think I don't know you're peeking at me."

Watching Chang Wei leave, Qin Huairu swallowed, and her rosy face was stained with shallow dimples.

Humph~, you stinky Chang Wei, who made you have such a good figure, I am greedy...

Qin Huairu stood up holding her clothes, lowered her head and smiled foolishly. In the moonlight, one could see the curved corners of her mouth and shallow dimples on her cheeks.

Chang Wei quickly changed his clothes and came out. Looking at Qin Huairu who was immersed in her own inner world, he interrupted her. "Hey! What are you grinning for? You're drooling. Is this my other set of clothes?"

Qin Huairu came back to her senses and subconsciously wiped her mouth. She looked up and saw Chang Wei looking at her with a smile.

The atmosphere was so awkward that you could dig out a three-bedroom apartment under your feet. Her pretty face was so hot that she rolled her eyes and threw the clothes to Chang Wei.

"Here you go~"

He turned and left in a hurry, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Qin Huairu ran out of the yard with her face flushed.

Looking at Qin Huairu who left in a panic, Chang Wei smiled playfully.

Qin Huairu's arrival was just a small episode. After experiencing the baptism of the 21st century, few men are really afraid of being seen.

To conquer a woman, it is not only about sleeping with her, but also about making her fall in love with you.

For dinner, just make a few big buns and it’s a simple meal.

After dinner, Chang Wei took off his clothes and went to bed. He was tired after a busy day. There was no entertainment in modern times, and he had to get up early in the morning to make a living.

Just to show off, this day was really fulfilling!
