Everyone looked at the two of them in disbelief, yesterday they were enemies and today they have become their own people, this big boss is really capable, he can actually let them take refuge, it seems that we chose him as the leader.

Mr. Wang arranged the work of the two of them, and the two of us discussed the width and height of the wall. I said, "Old man, I think, since we want to be here for a long time, then don't be afraid of labor, I think the wall is one zhang wide, three zhang high, the middle door does not need to be very wide, you can get in and out of the carriage, you see how it is." "I'm still afraid that the old man will think that the amount of work is large.

"Big leader, I see that the wall is wider, you see how about the wall is one zhang five zhang wide, five zhang high, although it is more difficult to build now, but it will be good for defense in the future, when we are outside the gate, in order to prevent Tartar robbery, there is also a fortress in the village, if it is not wide enough and not high enough, it will not be able to stop their artillery bombardment."

In fact, I originally wanted to build a high point, for fear that they would think that the amount of work was large, so I said it was lower, thinking that it could be heightened and widened in the future.

I couldn't be idle, and I helped them out. In the evening, they came back, the harvest was good, a few people carried a deer, there were no deer near Jingshi, but there was a hunting ground in the royal family nearby, and occasionally there were deer that ran out, so they could hit the deer.

In the evening, the venison stewed by a few women, plus the radish bought back from the town, everyone had a beautiful meal, and the cottage also drank wine for the first time, of course, they couldn't drink too much, but that's it, it already made them happy like the New Year. Even Zhu Liu and Sun Yong gnawed on two bones, drooling, and muttered, "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

The first day of the busy day passed like this, and I lay in bed at night, thinking about the work of the day, and felt that there was nothing missing, so I fell asleep deeply.

For a few days, everyone worked very energetically, the wall on this side has laid the foundation, the trees on that side have almost been cut down, Wang Jinhuai's teaching life has also been carried out well, and the four treasures of the study room have been purchased when they go out to buy things, and there is no original lifeless atmosphere in the cottage, and there is also the sound of reading loudly.

The construction of the cottage is progressing step by step. My relationship with Wei Zihan is also slowly heating up, I get up early and take her to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, and after dinner, I go for a walk in the field with her, but Xiaoyu still has to follow, and I am afraid that outsiders will gossip, and sometimes I also pull Wang Jinhuai as a light bulb, anyway, this time is the happiest day for me and Wei Zihan. I don't know how long this kind of day can last, I think if Wei Zihan is willing, I won't leave here, accompany her here for the rest of my life, watch the sunrise early, and send the sunset back at dusk.

Half a month later, the wall on one side has been repaired, it is built according to the height and width of the old man Wang, although it is a little slower, but the quality is really good, standing on the wall of the wall five zhang high, looking into the distance, seeing the vast field, I feel like the general commanding thousands of troops and horses, the weeds are my soldiers, and the shrubs are my generals.

At this time, it was the afternoon, and I was standing on the wall of the village and imagined that a brother in the village came to call me, saying that the old man had returned. I hurried down the wall, and came to the house that was temporarily used as a hall of justice, and saw a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked, all of which were sacks and all kinds of furniture, and in one carriage there were several children and young women, and in front of each carriage stood a coachman dressed as a housekeeper.

I came to the house, but I saw the old man sitting on a chair drinking tea, and I saw that the teapot was also brought by him, and there was no tea here, and there would be a teapot. On the other side of the table sat a lady in her fifties, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and her dress was very simple, I guessed that this was the old lady, and said, "The old man dares to ask if this is an old lady?" ”

The old man said: "Exactly, this time I moved my family here, ten members of my family came, and two maids who served my wife, all of whom came voluntarily for the sake of secrecy, and two of them brought their wives and children, and they didn't go back, one hundred stones of grain, one hundred horses of cloth, ten horses of silk, and other small things, needless to say." ”

I don't feel overjoyed after listening, this 100 stone grain is more than 10,000 catties, a stone of grain is equivalent to 120 catties now, 100 stone is 12,000 catties, now the cottage adds up to a total of more than 50 people, a person a day three catties of food, two months do not have to worry about the problem of food, cloth is also urgently needed, now there are more cottage people, the dress is varied, with these cloths can be uniformly dressed.

I was happy, and I didn't forget to give the old lady a gift, the old lady is also a famous lady, knowledgeable, humble, I asked them to call Wei Zihan over to give the old lady a gift, the old lady saw that Wei Zihan was not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable and gentle. The old lady held Wei Zihan's hand, which was very rare, and Wei Zihan also leaned on the old lady's side and accompanied the old lady to pull the bar. Wang Jinhuai next to him said: "Old man, I think the old lady and Miss Wei are very close to each other, or you can accept Miss Wei as a righteous daughter." ”

The old man has no children and no daughters in his life, although he has three apprentices, but none of them are under his knees, Wang Jinhuai's proposal, the old lady also said excitedly: "I don't know if Miss Wei agrees, the old woman does like Miss Wei." ”

That Wei Zihan is also a smart and clever person, as soon as the old lady finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and shouted: "Father and mother are above, please accept the little daughter Wei Zihan." After speaking, she kowtowed three times, the old lady hurriedly helped Wei Zihan up, and the maid on one side moved the stool, Wei Zihan sat next to the old lady, and the two of them muttered and chatted on the side.

The old man stood up and said, "Go out and take a walk, and arrange them by the way." ”

I followed the old man and Wang Jinhuai to the outside, the old man said: "Now there are more people, there are more materials, and a special person is arranged to be responsible for the storage and distribution of materials, each material is registered clearly, don't mess up, and build a special warehouse, now the house also needs to be built, I see that your progress is not slow, and the wall is also fast." ”

"Yes, what the seniors said is, I think the materials should be managed by two people, one is responsible for registration and one is responsible for distribution, if one person is prone to mistakes and fraud, I want to find one from a few of their old people, and the other from the family you brought to find a person who knows how to register, senior, what do you think."

"Yes, just do as you say, let's go to Wang Jianying and his father now and tell us to have a meeting in the evening, and all the people in the cottage, regardless of gender, old and young, will participate."

"Okay, just according to what the seniors said, I'll go to the old man Wang and talk about it, and the seniors, you can also arrange the old lady."
