"Also," Li Ziyu said, pointing to an ancient tree that had withered, "enclose this place as well, and the courtyard wall will be built on the periphery of this tree." And at the upper end of the courtyard wall here, a watchtower will be built. I've marked this on the drawing. ”

"Okay, I got it. Miss Li rest assured that we will definitely build it according to the drawings. Zheng Pengyuan replied.

Beneath this ancient tree is the passage to the underground valley. Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu had already made a good cover for the switch, and if they didn't know the details from the outside, they wouldn't be able to see anything unusual at all.

Xiang Siyuan pinched his fingers and counted the time of groundbreaking, calculated that the end of the hour was the auspicious time for groundbreaking, and determined that the place to worship the gods was on the hillside at the entrance of Li Ziyu's old house.

So, under the command of Xiang Siyuan, the group began to set up a table for tribute on the hillside in front of Li Ziyu's house.

At this time, Bu Jiu came back with an ox cart, which was full of things he had bought today.

Because the things I bought today include things like a whole pig and water, I didn't use a horse-drawn cart to send Xiaoshan and Xiaowen, but drove an ox cart.

On the carriage, in order to make the two younger brothers more comfortable inside, Li Ziyu not only laid thick straw under the carriage, but also laid two thick mattresses on top. The two mattresses were spread under the old one, and the newer one was covered.

Since the family's life has improved, Li Ziyu has bought a lot of cloth and cotton in addition to a single bedding per person.

Aunt Ouyang Luo and cousin Xiaoou took the time to make a lot of bedding one after another, and the bedding at home is now rich.

And. I also made two new spring shirts and shoes for each of the family, just in case the shoes get dirty, there is a change.

That's the benefit of having adults in the family. Li Ziyu no longer worries about these trivial matters. It was all handed over to Ouyang Luo to manage.

Ouyang Luo used to be the head of the house in a big family, and of course these little things are not her business, so she manages them in an orderly manner, and she doesn't let Li Ziyu worry about it at all.

Now, at the door of Li Ziyu's house, several offerings have been placed on the table, and Zheng Pengyuan and everyone are preparing to kowtow and worship.

There are offerings on the table. A pig's head, a jar of wine, a pheasant, five apples, and a bowl of sorghum rice with ten incense sticks on it.

At this time, the incense candle has been lit. In the curling incense mist, the pious voices of Zheng Pengyuan and others looked sacred and solemn.

"The three purifications are holy, the heavens are noble, and all the great gods. Be merciful. Prayer: May the blessings be blessed, may the world be blessed, may the grace be given, and the salvation and suffering. Natural disasters will disappear forever, man-made disasters will not prosper, the borders will be peaceful, and the things will be abundant"

The villagers at the foot of the hill also fell to their knees and prayed with great devotion. Everyone's face was filled with divine anticipation.

After praying, Zheng Pengyuan waved his hand. Zheng Tianze took several workers to light the firecrackers, and in the deafening sound of firecrackers, Zheng Pengyuan's high-pitched and thick voice rang out:

"Breaking the ground, starting the work!"

"Breaking ground!" The workers below also shouted behind Zheng Pengyuan, and in this sound that resounded through the valley, the new house of Li Ziyu's family officially started.

Because it was the first day of work, Li Ziyu wanted to make the food more abundant, so she discussed with Xiaohua Niang and Aunt Yang to get a few more dishes.

At noon, the main meal was steamed rice and white flour steamed buns with rice and sorghum rice, and the main course was four dishes and one soup: braised pork, stewed mushrooms with pheasant, stir-fried pork with fungus, spicy stir-fried cabbage and shredded radish soup.

Ga Ziniang took Li Xiaoyan and Li Lanying to steam rice, Xiaohua Niang, Aunt Yang and Ouyang Luo steamed steamed buns, and Wang Qiuyue and Xiaoou were responsible for picking, washing, and cutting vegetables.

The courtyard was busy, and the people Li Ziyu was looking for were all well-known neat people in the village, and their character was also quite decent.

This time, because the people working at home are all young men, she didn't find the two new daughters-in-law who made puppets last time. Wang Chungang's new daughter-in-law Hu Xiaoxue and He Dashu's new daughter-in-law Wu Lanlan, both of them have been married for less than a year. Even if I look for it this time, my in-laws may not be able to agree.

She is looking for a woman who has already given birth to a child this time, and she is also taking the opportunity to see how the character of several people is, and she also wants to open a puppet shop in Zhangkou Town in the next step, these people will be the main force at that time.

Li Ziyu found that everyone who cooked was very spicy, capable, and worked very solidly, without stopping for a while, and there was work in their eyes.

After steaming the steamed buns and rice, Ga Ziniang wiped the stove clean, and Li Xiaoyan followed closely to gather the firewood in front of the stove together, and gently swept the ground with a broom. Li Lanying cleaned the rag on the side, handed the clean rag to Ga Ziniang from time to time, and then changed back to the dirty rag to continue cleaning.

On this side, Xiaohua Niang, Aunt Yang and Aunt Yang are also doing the same thing, cleaning the stove and cleaning the ground, and doing it in an orderly manner.

In short, around the five stoves, it was cleaned up.

Wang Qiuyue took Xiao Ou to put the dishes and chopsticks on each table, and wiped the ten tables and chopsticks clean by the way.

Li Ziyu looked at the stove and didn't have to interfere, so she went out of the house and walked towards the hot construction site.

Speaking of the construction site, the old village chiefs Zhao Qing and Chai Bin took Zheng Pengyuan, Tong Shengqi and a group of people to approve the boundaries of the courtyard wall.

Zhao Qing moved more than a foot out of the original boundary, and after all the boundaries were approved, the engineering team was divided into four large groups and first dug the foundation on the boundary.

There is one group in the east, west, south and north of the four large groups, because the east and west sides are relatively long, and there are relatively more personnel in the south and north. After the assignment was completed, the leaders of each group led people to start digging the foundation.

Because Li Ziyu required that the courtyard wall be built according to the thickness and width of the city wall, the foundation had to meet the requirements in depth and width. The responsible persons of each component took the lead in carefully explaining the dimensions clearly before starting to work.

These 100 or so people excavated the foundation in a unified manner, and the construction site was in full swing, laughing and noisy, very lively.

Most of the people who work are young men, although there are some older ones in their forties and fifties, but they still can't stop the vitality of young people.

Therefore, all kinds of meat jokes and rough words appeared on the construction site, and the atmosphere was very warm.

The old village chief Zhao Qing didn't say anything, this time almost all the young and middle-aged people in the village came, his two sons, and then the eldest daughter-in-law Xiaohuaniang, there were four people. Although everyone is from the same village, it is rare to work together so neatly. Talking and laughing together, not only does not delay work, but also enhances the relationship.

Therefore, he did not mix in the construction site, but worked with Chai Bin on the south side of the river to clean up the wild grass and gravel on the ground.

When Li Ziyu came over, he saw the old village chief Zhao Qing and Chai Bin pulling weeds while scooping and knocking.

"Grandpa! Uncle Chai! Li Ziyu walked over with a greeting, also squatted down to pull the wild grass, and asked, "How is it?" Can the people and guests of our village get a piece? ”

"Well, it's not bad. I took a look at it on the side, and everyone in the capital is quite modest, and the people in our village are not overbearing, so it shouldn't be a big deal. ”

Zhao Qing took out a cigarette pouch from his waist, lit a pot of cigarettes, and smoked it. A choking smell of dry smoke spread, and Li Ziyu coughed.
