On the day Chen Bi received the letter, he rushed to Qingping County without saying anything.

The moment Chen Qing saw his sister-in-law, he secretly wondered if there was any omission in the letter? Otherwise, why did he just borrow 30 taels of silver and recruit his sister from the countryside all the way to the county seat?

Chen Bi strained his little face and put the silver into his arms, and then took out the deed and said, "If it is not enough, I will sell the house, I will already see that the bastard is unreliable......"

Chen Bi's eyes were slightly red, she pursed her lips, sniffed and continued, "That's fine, my brother is not afraid of not living a good life without him, Abi also has the ability to support the family, and my brother is not afraid of ......"

Chen Qing's heart warmed, in fact, after a few days, the sourness in his heart had already faded, and he was only happy and unwilling. didn't ask Chen Bi how she saw something wrong from a letter, hugged her sister hard, and said in a brisk tone, "The house is not for sale, and I have to move over to live after my brother pays off the money, and this will be our home from now on."

"Well~ Abi will also work hard to save money, wait for my brother to come home, ......" Chen Bi pouted, and the tears that she couldn't hold back fell on her chest, and let her brother wipe away her tears, before she smiled hard and said, "Abi will cook a lot of dishes now, and when my brother comes back, Abi will move over and cook for you every day"

"Silly girl, you and Zhuo Ping have to stay for a few days, my brother is busy paying off his debts now, and I'm not afraid that I won't have a chance to eat the dishes you made in the future" The brother and sister were next to each other, and no one mentioned this stubble, only chattered about some trivial matters at home, and after noon, Chen Bi reluctantly said goodbye to his brother and returned to Wanjia by car.

Chen Qing opened the cloth bag, saw that it was two sets of new clothes and a jacket, smiled heartily, picked up the cotton shoes and put them on his feet and tried them, and walked around twice before reluctantly taking them off and wrapping them. Abi's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and it is no different from those high-quality embroiderers in the cloth workshop, Chen Qing was relieved with a slight sense of accomplishment for a while, and then turned out the silver that the sister stuffed him.

Abi has been a baby who can live since she was a child, and she is used to being thrifty and has developed the habit of hiding money, so she has saved 70 taels of silver in just over a year since she got married. Even Chen Qing couldn't help but be surprised by so much money, I'm afraid that this girl gave him all the money at the bottom of the box.

Chen Qing's eyes were hot, and now it was the time to use money, and he was not hypocritical, leaving 20 taels for emergency, so he went straight to a store at the north gate with fifty taels of silver.

After two days of investigation, there are two brick kilns in Qingping County, one burns mud bricks, and the other sells high-grade green bricks.

Chen Qing wants to build a greenhouse, although he is full of energy, but he does not know professional knowledge, so he can only imitate the stupid method of growing vegetables in the house in winter.

Regarding greenhouses, Chen Qing had only seen film-covered greenhouses in his previous life, which was simply inserted into the soil with bamboo poles and bent into an arch and then covered with plastic film, but this kind of greenhouse is obviously not suitable for now. Winter nights are cold and can't be warmed, even if the sun shines enough during the day, the night will gradually cool down, if you cover the quilt or straw curtain to keep warm, one is expensive, and the other is that Chen Qing alone can not do it without the help of tools.

The inclined surface of the warm winter greenhouse to cover one side of the wall, or dig deep to the permafrost, now the time is tight since there is no effort to break the ground in a large area, if the distribution of columns is not reasonable, the snow is too thick and easy to collapse. There was a lack of equipment to detect the temperature, coupled with various restrictions, Chen Qing had no choice but to come up with a method of semi-underground heating and covering it with film.

Chen Qing's brain is full of creativity and creativity, he expects to lay a fire path with green bricks in the circle area like laying a foundation, so as to heat up the soil layer at night, and then cover it with silk tarpaulin, which can keep warm in winter, and take it off in summer to disperse the temperature, at most it will cost some firewood but ensure that the plants can be fed in the cold winter wax moon.

It's hard to control the temperature, and you can only try a few more times to make up for your experience. After setting the required green bricks, Chen Qing agreed to start construction tomorrow under the promise of the shopkeeper, and went out to find two coolies to negotiate wages.

Because of the bleak business in winter, the shopkeeper finalized the deal with Chen Qing at a very low price, although the amount is not large, but it is also good to reduce the inventory to make new clothes for the family.

The green bricks cost 45 taels, and the coolie paid 35 wen a day, normally 30 wen is enough to hire a strong laborer, but Chen Qing could not provide lunch, so the extra 5 wen was used as the food fee for his own dry food.

Early the next morning, two strong men took the guys to Liangjia Village and dug a pit in a straight line within the range circled by Chen Qing. Fortunately, it is just winter, and the soil layer is not frozen, but it doesn't take much effort, and the cold day is digging with a shovel and a spade, and after a while, the three of them will faintly emit heat.

After working all morning, Chen Qing exhaled lightly and beckoned the two of them to stop work, went home and boiled a pot of boiling water, and sat on the ground with the two men to nibble on dry food.

"The owner, it's not like I'm talking about it, it's all winter, what are you doing digging this field? The best field digs a big hole, and doesn't you have to fill it in for spring planting?"

The men who worked together next to him wiped the corners of their mouths, secretly dragged the strong man, and muttered in a low voice, "The owner can do whatever he wants, what do you do so much nonsense?"

Both of them are coolies who come to the countryside to beg for a living, and it is not easy to find a job to support themselves in winter.

Seeing that the strong man was puzzled, he asked his companion, "What are you doing?" Chen Qing couldn't help grinning, and replied briskly, "It's nothing, it's not a winter day when I'm idle and have nothing to do, I want to make a living to support myself." As for what to do, you'll know when you're done."

Chen Qing is not afraid that the two of them will tell the story of the greenhouse, they are all wading across the river, and they are not afraid that someone will rise up to follow suit. Really calculate the cost of hundreds of taels, even if the Zhuang family wants to learn, there is not so much silver, the rich have the strength to build a bigger one, but think that those pampered rich masters will not be idle to toss these farm work, more are not willing to spend money to buy some new taste, to build a greenhouse outside the city to hire people to plant but unrealistic.

After lunch, the man who laid the brick shop drove the ox cart to the ground. Chen Qing drew a place for them to stack, and then the guys unloaded the goods by themselves.

Even if Chen Qing does not buy bricks to build a house, the foundation of more than 200 square meters is comparable to the amount of brick houses. It took two days in a row for the guy to send all the green bricks, and he drove out of Liangjia Village after settling the final payment.

The matter of the landlord of Liang to move the ground caused a lot of heated discussions in Liangjia Village, and there was nothing to do in winter, and the villagers gathered together in twos and threes to watch from afar. There was a good letter who wanted to inquire, and no one was embarrassed to greet Chen Qing when he saw that the two long-term workers of the Liang family were not there.

Li San Wei Liang had the intention to help but was refused, Li San was also curious about what Chen Qing wanted to toss, and only after asking the reason did he send the trustworthy villagers away, so that the villagers of Liangjia Village knew that the Liang landlord's house was not going to build a house, as for the use of the debt-paying brother digging such a big foundation, everyone only retained their curiosity, and went home to continue to figure out.

Chen Qing was busy compacting the soil pit, laying bricks and mud, and the three of them worked hard to build a 10-meter-long fire path in half a day. If you add two more people, it will not be a problem to complete the project in 10 days.

"The owner, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid it won't be easy to work as soon as it's cold," the upright man wiped the sweat from his forehead, frowned and said to the owner.

Chen Qing thought for a while, he didn't have much money in his hand, only more than 40 taels of money left, if it weren't for the careful silver, it would be completed in a few days, and after thinking about it, he said, "If it cools down tomorrow, I will go to the county to recruit two more short-term workers."

"There are people in the village, so wouldn't it be enough to call two people to help? How can you go to the county to spend money to hire people?" Geng Zhizi was dedicated to thinking about the owner, and he didn't even think that he was a short-term worker hired by the county, and the power should be totaled in his hometown.

The wages in the county are high, if you are looking for someone to help in the village, you can give a maximum of 20 yuan, if you have a little friendship, you don't even have to spend money, how can you still cherish this effort when you help each other in a village?

Chen Qing grinned at the other person, patted the strong man on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I know, I am only a long-term worker of the Liang family, and there are no acquaintances in the village, otherwise how would I invite you two to work?"

The strong man's companion punched him helplessly, this fool, he couldn't even see this! If he hadn't worked with him, he would have been disliked by the owner in the morning.

"Uh...... The kid from that family asked me if I needed labor last year, why don't I ask you?" The strong man smiled and scratched his head, and when he was thirsty after work yesterday, he went to the nearest house to ask for water.

The half-grown man let them into the house and brought hot water, and casually said a few words, if they hadn't been stopped by their companions, they would have confessed all the things in the morning.

"This is heavy work, what's the use of a little brother? Even if the salary is small, it's not worth it."

"What are you talking about? People didn't offend you and gave you hot water to drink, how can we chew the root of people's tongues behind our backs? That family is also raised by masters, even if the body is weaker, it is also a grandfather."

"Hmph~ What is his body worth the price of the gentleman?

"That'...... Wouldn't it be over if you paid less? Why are you talking black?"

Seeing that the man was a little anxious, Chen Qing hurriedly stopped the quarrel between the two, he didn't like to listen to the man's words, what is the weakness of the little brother's body?

Although he didn't like to listen to it, Chen Qing didn't say anything, he didn't agree with Liangjia Village, and the villagers didn't have much contact, and he didn't know that it was the little brother of that family, he didn't bother to provoke people who had nothing to do to peek at his work.

Liang Zijun couldn't talk to Chen Qing for several days, a circle of fire bubbles appeared at the corner of his mouth, pretending to pass by and going in and out of the house, and he only saw a neat back working in full swing, and he didn't even bother to glance at him.

Brother Yang hadn't seen Chen Qing for several days, and he was already panicked during the confinement, and asked several questions before grinding Zixian to take a look. Liang Zixian also wondered what the three brothers and daughters-in-law were tossing in the field, and could they still grow crops by tossing those three acres of land in winter?

Liang Zijun was worried that there was no one to discuss, and when he saw that his eldest brother was looking for him, he only said that he would make Chen Qing angry again, and as for what his daughter-in-law was doing with the fields in winter, he was vague and vague.

Liang Zixian saw that the third brother didn't know it, but he became a little interested, this Chen Qing is a good farmer, if he can really grow crops in winter, it will give the farmers in the county a little bit of life.

Liang Zijun saw that Liang Zixian's thoughts were obviously off, so he had to beg his eldest brother to call him back and say two good words. Liang Zixian frowned and worried, this good day didn't last a few days, and the little brother made the donkey anxious again, so he had no choice but to let Li San bring a message to Chen Qing, saying that Pingyang was bored and asked him to come over to relieve his boredom.
