The next day, Yu Xin was going home, and this time, before leaving, Yu Xin's family took her grandfather, uncle and cousin back to their house. This time, Grandpa went to help his family build a house. Before leaving, Yuxin asked her aunt to dig up some earthworms in the ground and bury them in the moist soil with rotten leaves. I also told my aunt how to raise earthworms. In the end, Yu Xin went to buy dozens of chickens, then your aunt will feed the cooked earthworms, feed these chickens, and tell them that the chicken coop must be cleaned and a series of preventive measures and methods.

Along the way, Yuxin's family rented a carriage and went back to their home. You came in a different mood, this time when you went home, everyone had a touch of sadness in their hearts, but also with a faint excitement and expectation. The group finally returned to their cousin's house at sunset/West Mountain.

"Yo, this is the grassroots family back, hurry in, hurry in, go back this time, but I've lived for some days. This old man is Yulan's father, uncle, I am a grassroots cousin-in-law, called Zhang Cuifang, you will call me Xia Gen's family in the future. This is the brother of the Yulan girl, you hurry in, hurry in, you're welcome, don't dislike it if the house is too messy. Cuifang said enthusiastically.

"Sister-in-law, my father and my brother are here to help me build a house, and he knows that I have been separated from there, so he is not at ease, so he comes to help me build a house. In the past few days, my father and my brother will definitely have to live here to trouble my sister-in-law! Ma Wanglan explained to Zhang Cuifang the rhetoric set up by her mother's house.

"What did you say about our own family? I'm going to be angry if you say that again. Wata's father hurriedly cleaned up the east wing house, so that his grandfather and his uncle could live in the evening. Zhang Cuifang hurriedly instructed Liu Xiagen to help clean up the house.

"Ouch, it's Yulan's sister's father and brother who are here, please come in, sit in the house, I'll go and clean up the house right away, you see my hands are all mud just now I'm really embarrassed to make a pigsty." Liu Xiagen ran from the back of the house to the front hall and greeted the guests from the house.

"Baby, you hurry up and catch that chicken and kill it, and then go to Butcher Zhang's house to see if there is any meat? Cut two catties of meat, let's have a good lively and lively tonight, oh, and in the grocery store at the east end of the village, put two catties of burning knives. Liu Xiagen hurriedly stretched out.

"He's second uncle, you're welcome, what do we have to eat? Don't break the bank, I'm embarrassed to bother, we're even more ashamed to panic like this. Grandpa said politely.

"Her grandfather, what are you talking about, so polite, you are grassroots, father-in-law, that's not similar to my father, you treat me as a son, you're welcome." Shagan hurriedly accosted.

"Then Uncle Hao is welcome, let's have a drink together in the evening. When the grassroots house is built, let's get together again. Old man Ma responded boldly.

For dinner, men and women are divided into tables, and there are braised pork ribs, steamed fish, braised prawns in oil, vegetarian fried small green vegetables, cold bitter and bitter vegetables, and cold salad with shepherd's cabbage. In the end=Aunt Tang also came up with a chicken called Hua Ji, and the whole family chatted while eating in the hall, and discussed the matter of Yuxin's family building a house together. After dinner, Yu Xin borrowed paper and pen from her brother, went back to the west wing where her parents lived temporarily, and drew the plow she had seen in the countryside in her previous life. After the painting was finished, Yu Xin went to the hall house, and saw that everyone had not yet slept, so he took out the drawings he had just drawn and explained them to his family, and then asked his grandfather to make a budget, the house Yu Xin resolutely did not choose a mud house, she chose a brick and stone structure, because a qiē material has to be bought now, Yu Xin built a very large house, and the courtyard wall has to be built into a brick wall more than two meters high, so that it is more luxurious than the rich families in the town, and the result is more than eight hundred taels, Originally, Yulan wanted to build a simple four-room big tile house, but she couldn't stand her daughter's life and death, so she had to get the house done at once, and ensure that the silver father and mother didn't have to worry about it. They just have to wait for a house with a big yard to live in. Of course, these are all discussed at Grandma's house, and their own family has long been discussed. After talking about the house, Yu Xin took out the drawings of the plough that was drawn and the rake that weeded and leveled the ground after turning it out and explained it to everyone. Everyone was very excited to see this drawing, which was a great initiative to free people from heavy physical labor. The whole family is excited about it. And decided that the next day Grandpa and Yuxin would go to the town to order the iron part of the plough and rake. It's just that now is the era of cold weapons, and iron is a state-controlled product, which may be more troublesome, but at that time, the family felt that even if they couldn't make a big one, they could make a small one, which was very labor-saving, but this thing was to be used on the back of a cow, and only a cow could pull it, and people couldn't do it. After all, cattle are big things for farmers nowadays, and few families can afford to buy them. This made Yuxin form a new money-making plan in her mind, farm tool rental. or take out a loan to buy it, but this substitution has to be offset by something at home that exceeds the value of the farm implement. Of course, you can also buy several together, which is more cost-effective.

Day = Early in the morning, breakfast. Yu Xin, her grandfather and Liu Caogen went to the town and found the blacksmith shop, which was opened by a veteran of the Zhigen Army, and it is said that this person was originally in the army when he specialized in fighting weapons, and later because his eyes were injured while building weapons, he retired and opened this blacksmith shop in the town. The shopkeeper of this blacksmith shop is surnamed Feng, and everyone calls him Feng Blacksmith. Blacksmith Feng looked at the drawings that his grandfather took out, and knew that they were used to turn the ground, so he immediately became excited, and he promised that these two farm tools would be free for Ma Daddy and them, but he would sell the drawings of these two sets of molds to him, and after a bargain, the two sides would sell this drawing at the price of sixty cars. He also said that he would come to pick up the good farming tools in two days. Out of the blacksmith shop, the family went to the cattle and horse market, ready to buy a sturdy buffalo to use when plowing the land in a few days, and finally the old man Ma helped buy a very strong adult calf, you have to go to the yamen with the cattle seller to make a contract, in this era, the cow can not be slaughtered indiscriminately, he is an important agricultural production tool, but also controlled, if anyone buys a cattle, must go to the yamen for the record, otherwise, it will be regarded as smuggling, that is to go to prison. In the yamen, he made a contract for the purchase of cattle, paid the merchant who sold the cattle, ten taels of silver, and also spent three taels of silver to buy an ox cart. The group went to the timber trading market again to buy wood for a house, and at the same time, they found the construction team to build the house, and said that they would let them pull the purchased things to Liu's shop the next day, and find Liu Caogen. At the same time, I told them that on the third day, the construction of the house began, and the day of building the house was when I was looking for it in Majiabao, and it was said that it was calculated by Mr. Yin and Yang of the special god. Originally, the group went to the grain and oil shop and bought 200 catties of brown rice and 400 catties of multigrain noodles. This is the last time everyone went to the grocery store and bought some, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and other things for cooking. This time to buy something, Yu Xin resolutely refused to let her father go to his second uncle's house to buy things, he really didn't want to deal with this superb family. Where is this money spent, it is not spent, and he has to go to him to find anger.

In the evening, the group returned home. After resting for one night, the family put away the things at home for another day, and the preparations to be made were almost done. Early the next morning, after breakfast, Liu Caogen went to the village chief and asked the village chief to help gather the strong labor in the village.

The village chief asked his son to knock on the cloud board in the village (a kind of iron made of iron collected by the ancient villagers. Hanging under the big tree at the entrance of the village, it is generally only sounded when there is something in the village. When the people of the village heard the sound of the cloud board, they all flocked to the square in the center of the village.

"Village chief, what's the matter, you are so urgent to recruit everyone." The old lady of Zhang's butcher's family asked the village chief.

"That's the case, the grassroots family wants to build a house, and they have to turn over the sandy land in the south of the village that his family just bought, and the salary is 50 wen a day, and if anyone wants to eat at his house, the salary is only 45 wen a day. If anyone wants to go to work, come to me now.

Hula was full of people in front of the village chief, and a few daughters-in-law also ran to the grassroots to ask, if the people from other villages wanted, Yu Xin built the family house and planted the land in order to do her best, so she quietly told her grandfather to recruit more people. When the women of the village heard that the people from the other villages wanted to do so, they hurried home and called for someone.

"Dad, don't work in the field today, you are direct, sitting in the commander-in-chief, and assigning everyone which piece to do is to take a piece, okay?" Liu Caogen said to his father-in-law.

"That's okay, then today I will divide the labor with the village chief and jointly be the commander-in-chief." Daddy Ma agreed.

"Village Chief Liu, let's turn over the ground today, and then let everyone go and help dig the foundation." Old man Ma discussed with the village chief.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Village Chief Liu attached. Yu Xin saw that there was nothing going on here, so she quietly called her brother and sister to take the back frame to the village creek to fish, this time the three brothers and sisters caught about 300 catties of fish, and by the way, they also caught = ten catties of green shrimp, and picked a back frame of mint leaves, wild ginger and wild shallots. After getting these three people back home, they made lunch and the family ate it, Yuxin and her brother and sister cleaned up all the fish, and copied the water that should be copied and copied the water, because today is the first day, so the family has to eat a starting meal. In addition to the women and children who are busy at home, there is no adult man in sight, Yu Xin originally wanted to go to the wasteland to see, but the family is too busy to leave.

In the morning, the village chief spent nearly half an hour recruiting 32 people in the village to clear the sandy land and the wasteland, because the two lands together were less than 20 acres, and more than 30 adult men were clearing the wasteland, as well as the plows and harrows pulled by the oxen. So it's fast. In the afternoon, the construction team will also be? The materials I bought were brought in, and I said that I would bring people to start work the next day. After unloading the car again, Hulala's group left again.

At the time of dinner, a group of uninvited guests came to the house, which made the family who had eaten happily as uncomfortable as eating flies.
