After drinking the water and resting for a while, they continued to dig the foundation.

Sun Chen and Da Zhuang's speed became slower and slower, and several adults did not urge, but no one said that they would not be allowed to do it.

Sun Chen waved the iron lift in his hand, only to feel that it had become a thousand pounds, the soil he shoveled was getting less and less, and the raised arm was getting lower and lower. These people are all working for themselves, how can they back down? He gritted his teeth and forced himself to keep doing this, and in the end he unconsciously found some tricks, such as using the main force on his feet when shoveling soil, and turning his body around when throwing dirt out, otherwise it is easy to flash his waist or throw off his arms.

Finally, when it was almost dark, the foundation was dug up. Looking at the neat floor groove in front of them, which was one and a half feet wide and more than two feet deep, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Chen went to the kitchen to greet Wang when he was about to finish his work, and at this time, the smell of rice came from inside.

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow, and I'll go back and rest tonight." Lin Tiezhu spoke, they didn't plan to eat here, the children had just split up, and life was not easy.

"Uncle, let's leave after eating! The meal is ready. Sun Chen scooped water from the water tank and brought it over to wash everyone's hands.

"yes, the big guy has done this old thing, and he can't go hungry." The Wang family also came out to stay, and there was a clay embryo they picked up in the afternoon, which happened to be used as a table for eating. As she spoke, she placed the bowl on it, and inside was evenly rolled multigrain noodles, and a small rape pot was used, which made people have an appetite at the first sight.

"Let's eat here today, let's also try the craftsmanship of the new sister-in-law." Lin Zhang followed behind, holding chopsticks in one hand and a basket full of Erhe noodle cakes in the other. As she spoke, she gave the crowd a look.

"Oh well! We're welcome. ”

Sun Chen brought the two fish, he asked the Wang family to make them, it was still stewed fish soup, and after eating the noodles, he served a bowl of fish soup for each person, and ate and drank.

After eating, they were sent away, and only Sun Chen, Sun Zhou and Wang were left in the courtyard, and Da Zhuang still had to sleep with Sun Chen.

"Me and. Your mother, go back first, I'll deal with your milk's affairs. Sun Zhou thought about it for a long time and gave his son this promise. Today, my wife simply let Lin Zhang's fool away, and I don't know when she will regret it when she comes back.

"Well, thank you Dad, you two go back, slow down on the road." Sun Chen nodded.

"Tomorrow, I'll come again." Wang also whispered hello to Sun Chen before leaving after Sun Zhou.

He doesn't have any feelings for Wang's stepmother now, he doesn't hate it, and he doesn't like it much, mainly because he is too easy to bully, if only Wang's had the same temperament as Lin Zhang's. But looking back, people like Lin Zhang's would not look down on their own father like this, hehe.

Sun Chen and Da Zhuang closed the door and looked at the stacks of earth piled up in the yard, tomorrow the soil embryo needs to be mud, and the water tank will be filled with water after a while.

Fortunately, there is an old well in the ancestral house, so they don't have to go outside to fetch water, and even so, they are tired enough to fill the water tank.

They were about to go to bed after washing up, when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Who's coming so late?!" Da Zhuang muttered and opened the door.

"Dad, why are you here again?"

"Take advantage of the cool today to pick up one more soil embryo, and tomorrow you can save some effort."

"Or are you thoughtful!" Da Zhuang smiled and boasted to his father.

"Stinky boy, you have something to learn in the future!" Lin Tiezhu squatted down and put the flat shoulder down.

Just as they were about to leave, Lin Tieniu and Lin Jiaqi came over one after another with a flat shoulder, and several people wanted to go together.

"Close the door, your dad won't be available to come over today." Lin Jiaqi said to Sun Chen when he left, "I passed by the door when I came, and your grandmother was making trouble!" ”

"Trouble again? Is it because the second uncle works for Ah Chen? Da Zhuang asked with a frown.

"No, it seems to be the girl brought over by Ah Chen's mother, what's it called, Fennel! The fennel's illness has not yet healed, and the old lady dislikes her for taking medicine tomorrow, and makes a fuss that she has no money! At noon, she put away the villagers' comings and goings, and said in the evening that there was no money, who would believe it~"

"Let's go, go back to bed, and come early tomorrow." Lin Tieniu urged.

"This little girl will not have a good time in the future~"

"Whose life is better now? Isn't it all alive? ”

Far away, you can still hear a few people talking.

"Hurry up and go to bed!" Sun Chen closed the door again and took the lead towards the house.

"Wait for me!" Da Zhuang hurriedly followed.

The next day, just after dawn, several people came over with soil embryos, but Wang did not come.

"Your fennel sister is sick, and she is taking care of it at home." Sun Zhou explained to his son.

"Oh, it's fine." Sun Chen's face was as usual, and he nodded to indicate that he knew.

Sun Zhou carefully studied his son's expression, he should not be angry like this, right?

Lin Zhang's family came over again, but after boiling a large pot of water for them, he left, and told Sun Chen to come back at noon.

A few people discussed that they would pick up all the soil embryos first, or they would run back and forth when the sun was big at noon, and they would suffer old sins.

Sun Chen was recovering from a serious illness, and no one agreed to him to pick up the soil embryo, so he only let him be at home and mud.

"Ah Chen, my second uncle is back!" Da Zhuang didn't have time to put down the flat burden, and shouted as soon as he entered the door, "He took the turtle away, and said that he would send it to the Ruyi Restaurant in the town, and he also said that the owner of the Ruyi Restaurant asked him for such a big turtle last time, and this time he will probably give a good price!" ”

"Really?" Sun Chen was also happy.

"My second uncle said that if you get it this time, you will really give one or two pieces of silver so much~" Da Zhuang laughed so much that his eyes disappeared.

The two of them were happy for a while, but after an hour they couldn't get up. Because this mason's work is really tiring!

Two people are responsible for building the wall, one person is responsible for transporting the soil embryos to them, and Sun Chen and Da Zhuang are responsible for mud and mud.

Transporting the small wooden barrels full of mud to the wall again and again, and then reconciling the mud for backup when they were free, Sun Chen and Dazhuang were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink saliva. Even so, Lin Tiezhu, who was in charge of transporting the soil embryos, had to help occasionally.

Finally, at noon, when Lin Zhang came over to help cook, they stopped.

At this time, the earthen wall has been built to a height of more than five feet, and another section will be built on the beams of the house. The soil embryo was also used, Sun Chen looked at it, in addition to the ones to be used in the afternoon, the rest could also be used in the house with two more earthen kangs. I don't know who counted it, but this number is really accurate.

"Let's all come and rest, and do it again in the afternoon, and we will definitely be able to finish it today!"

At this time, Sun Chen found out that there was meat in the lunch meal, he didn't buy meat at all, and Sun Zhou didn't bring it when they came, this meat was obviously brought by Lin Zhang's family.

"Aunt ......"

"Why don't you eat it quickly, what are you doing in a daze? After this work, you're all tired, right? Lin Zhang smiled and put a pair of chopsticks and meat into the bowl for Sun Chen and Da Zhuang.

"Thank you, auntie." Sun Chen lowered his head after speaking, he was afraid that he couldn't help it and would cry in front of these people who had shown kindness to him.
