Lin Zichen went back to the house and took out another drawing and handed it to Li Ji, Li Ji recognized at a glance that this was a small courtyard where only those rich people in the city would live, "Although this house looks very good, it is really too eye-catching to build it here for us, let's build a big mansion." ”

Li Ji quickly threw the drawings in his hand back to Lin Zichen, as if what he was holding was not a drawing, but a piece of garbage that disgusted him.

Li Ji's rejection of the small courtyard made Lin Zichen very strange, but seeing that Li Ji had no intention of saying it, she couldn't ask directly in front of everyone.

The strength of the people is great, and the family worked hard for five or six days to finally dig the foundation of the entire house.

Every man in the village knows a little bit of cement work, except for the construction of some key parts will ask a master, most of the house is done by himself, and the Li family is the same.

No one in Fenghezhuang has yet covered Lin Zichen's painting of the - excellent - excellent - small - said - more - new - most - fastest - www.uuxs.cc - this kind of big mansion, but the Li family because Lin Qingxiang had worked as a foreman on a construction site in a big city, the skill of building a house is naturally stronger than that of a person at the level of Zhuang Shang, so the main matters of the new house are all up to Lin Qingxiang.

Lin Qingxiang is a man with a strong sense of self-esteem, since he came to live in his father-in-law's house, his heart is more or less a little uncomfortable, and he was entrusted with the important task of building a new house, Lin Qingxiang is doing his best, and he can't wait to stay in the construction site 24 hours a day.

Li Weiyan watched every little action of Lin Qingxiang, although she felt sorry for her husband, she also knew that her husband didn't want to be looked down upon by his mother's family, so he could only put the words of consolation back in his heart.

After the foundation was laid, the Li family divided into two routes, the women built mud bricks, and the men burned tiles.

Usually, when a family in the village builds a house, Liang Xiaomei and Ye Xiaoyu will be invited to be helpers, and the work of fighting soil and mud bricks is also at their fingertips, so they don't have to worry about not being able to take on this important task.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Xi, you sisters and brothers took hoes to the back mountain to load a few soil for our mother." Li Weiyan shouted loudly.

"Eh, here we are." The weather was hot, Lin Zichen tied his shoulder-length long hair into a ponytail with elastic bands, and wore a straw hat on his head, a sunny girl.

"Xiao Chen does this, it looks really good." Liang Xiaomei smiled and boasted. It's a pity that now the countryside has also begun to catch family planning, otherwise she would still want to give birth to a daughter to be considerate of herself.

Ye Xiaoyu also smiled and agreed, "Yes, you look at the appearance of this water spirit, which girl in the village can compare, it is pleasing to look at!" ”

Li Weiyan listened to the words of the two sisters-in-law, and felt proud in her heart, "That's, don't look at whose daughter this is." ”

Liang Xiaomei and Ye Xiaoyu were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and after they understood, they laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's not!" ”

The children of the Li family are all good-looking, and Lin Zichen takes some food from time to time to nourish the body of the family, and the appearance of the Li family will only become better and better.

Lin Zichen didn't feel shy when he was so praised by his family, straightened his waist, and calmly turned around a few times in front of a few people with a smile, which made Li Weiyan and the others laugh, and said that Lin Zichen had a good temperament.

After laughing for a while, they took their tools and walked to the back mountain, preparing to dig earth and mud bricks.

The soil is a piece of soil at the foot of the mountain that Lin Qingxiang chose after turning around the back mountain, and the red and clay soil is very suitable for making mud bricks.

Liang Xiaomei put down the flat burden on her shoulders, turned back to Lin Zichen and said to the two sisters and brothers who were holding the hoe: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Xi, the two of you have a heavy task today!" Whether we can get the mud bricks out quickly or not is up to you. ”

When Lin Zixi heard this, he immediately stood up straight and made an irregular military salute, and said sternly: "I promise to complete the task." ”

Lin Zichen snorted and laughed, tapped Lin Zixi's forehead, and said a little helplessly: "You can't talk so much, you will feel good later." ”

It seems simple to put the red clay into the dustpan, but after a long time, you will be tired, not to mention that the soil in front of you is still very sticky clay, and it takes a few digs to make a piece, which is time-consuming and laborious.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get to work." Li Weiyan patted Lin Zixi's shoulder with a smile and urged.

"Got it." Lin Zixi replied energetically, and took the hoe and got started.

Filling both dustpans with dirt, Lin Zichen got out of the way and picked up the other dustpan and began to put it on the soil.

Liang Xiaomei, who was standing on the side and waiting, immediately picked up the soil with a flat pole and walked to the construction site.

On the construction site, Li Yuedi and Ye Xiaoyu are also ready.

"Sister-in-law, pour the soil here." Ye Xiaoyu pointed to the place where the turf was shoveled in front of him and said.

"Huh." Liang Xiaomei neatly poured out the dirt, turned around and continued to pick.

Ye Xiaoyu scattered the dirt that had fallen on the ground and dug a small pit, and Li Yuedi added a little water to the small pit.

"Mom, there should be enough water." Watching the water in the pit slowly rise, Ye Xiaoyu reminded Li Yuedi.

Li Yuedi nodded and took the water scoop away, "Hurry up and mix the soil evenly." ”

"Okay!" Ye Xiaoyu took a hoe and began to stir the soil evenly.

Li Yuedi added just the right amount of water, and the evenly stirred red soil became a soft mud.

Ye Xiaoyu was still holding a hoe and stirring constantly, while turning back to Li Yuedi on the side and saying, "Mom, it's okay on my side, are you okay over there?" ”

"Right away." Li Yuedi put the mold of the mud bricks in her hand, and turned around to help Ye Xiaoyu.

Li Yuedi took two shovels and shoveled the stirred mud into the mold.

The mold is made of wood, thirty centimeters in length and width, and fifteen centimeters in height, and the top and bottom are empty.

Li Yuedi put the mold on the ground with plastic paper in advance, poured the mud into the mold in the four directions, smoothed it out, patted it solid, and let the sun shine.

Now red bricks are used to build new houses in the countryside, but Li Weimao also went to experience the heat in the red brick house before, so the Li family's house decided to use all the mud bricks used in the old house.

Clay bricks are larger and thicker than red bricks made of fire, and the temperature in the house is better maintained in winter, because the clay bricks are not as heat-absorbing as red bricks, and the temperature in the house is naturally not much higher in summer.

The method of mud bricks is very simple, just select the sticky soil, mix it with the right amount of water, pour it into the mold, and then expose it to the sun to dry.

Of course, the mud bricks produced in this way can easily loosen when they encounter water, so people usually mix the soil with an appropriate amount of glutinous rice.

In this era, every household has glutinous rice, in addition to the amount of rice wine used several times a year, each household will have some surplus, and the glutinous rice accumulated every year will grow worms, and they are reluctant to throw it away and can only be fed to pigs and chickens.

When Ye Xiaoyu was stirring the soil, he mixed the boiled soft glutinous rice into it, which made the stickiness of the glutinous rice, and the clay bricks made were not easy to loosen.

Li Yuedi prepared several molds, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly poured the stirred mud into the mold and carefully watched the molding status of the mud.

Li Yuedi is an expert in this area, watching the mud slowly solidify in the sun, Li Yuedi nodded with satisfaction.

The summer sun is fierce, and after about ten minutes, the mud poured into the mold is formed.

Li Yuedi quickly pulled out the mold and put it in another empty space, and Ye Xiaoyu then poured new mud into the mold.

The two cooperated with each other, and after a while, more than a dozen clay bricks came out.

After shoveling the last bit of mud, Ye Xiaoyu rubbed his sour arm and said to Li Yuedi on the side: "Mom, you're tired, let's take a rest under the shade, this sun is too poisonous, I can't stand it anymore." ”

Ye Xiaoyu was most worried that Li Yuedi would not be able to stand it, so she hurriedly told Li Yuedi to go to the shade to cool off.

Li Yuedi wiped the sweat on her face and straightened her waist, but she didn't expect to stumble a few times in front of her and almost fall, so frightened that Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly ran over to support her.

"Mom, Mom, are you okay?" Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly helped the person to sit under the shade of the tree, picked up the water cup in his hand and poured a glass of water for Li Yuedi, "Mom, drink some water." ”

Li Yuedi shook her head at Ye Xiaoyu and signaled Ye Xiaoyu not to worry, but she was dizzy and didn't want to say a word.

The more Ye Xiaoyu looked, the more she felt that Li Yuedi was stunned by the sun, and hurriedly took a straw hat to fan Li Yuedi to cool off, and shouted to Liang Xiaomei and others at the foot of the mountain behind the house: "Sister-in-law, little sister, come here, Mom is stunned by the sun." ”

What the? When Li Weiyan and Liang Xiaomei heard Ye Xiaoyu's shout, they immediately threw away the flat burden in their hands and rushed to the construction site.

Lin Zichen's sister and brother bent over to the soil, and when they reacted, Liang Xiaomei and Li Weiyan had already run away.

"Xiaoxi, let's go see Grandma too." Lin Zichen threw away the hoe in his hand and pulled Lin Zixi to run to where Li Yuedi was.

Li Weiyan and Liang Xiaomei came to Li Yuedi, and when they saw Li Yuedi's face was pale, they panicked.

"Mom, Mom, how are you?" Li Weiyan's eyes turned red for a moment.

Lin Zichen ran over to take a look, and hurriedly squeezed Li Weiyan and the others away, "Auntie, second aunt, mother, get out of the way, grandma is suffering from heat stroke, let's get out of the way, so that grandma can breathe fresh air." ”

Although Li Weiyan and others knew that the sun in summer was easy to burn bad people, they didn't know that this was heat stroke. watched Lin Zichen skillfully take a handkerchief and wet it to wipe Li Yuedi's face, neck and arms, and asked Lin Zixi to stand aside and fan Li Yuedi, and witnessed Li Yuedi slowly sober up before she was completely relieved.

Looking at Li Yuedi who woke up, Li Weiyan was afraid for a while, "Mom, you are really, why don't you know how to rest when the sun is so hot, if something happens to you, what should we do." As he spoke, tears fell.

Liang Xiaomei was also worried, "Yes, Mom, do you know that you scared a few of us to death just now, if it weren't for Xiao Chen's cleverness, we wouldn't know what to do." ”

Among several people, even Ye Xiaoyu felt the most guilty, "It's all because I'm not good, I didn't pay attention to my mother's situation when I took care of my work, so my mother was sunburned." ”R1152
