Mrs. Wang is too old to work, so she is responsible for watching the children and not letting the children run around and fall into the water.

What is Fang Yue busy with? She took a group of children under the age of eight and over the age of three to play by the river, digging a few dirt pits in the ground, which looked not small, and mounds of dirt, and black smoke from the bulging bags on the ground.

"What is my sister doing?"

Fang Yue smiled and said, "Remember, let's ...... Teach us to burn charcoal, let's blow up the yard? ”

I remembered that it was a modern grandmother who taught her and her sister to burn charcoal, and dug a clay kang on the ground, but her sister blocked the fire eye and blew up the charcoal kiln.

There are two ways to burn charcoal, one is to put the wood in the pit into a cylindrical shape, light the fire, seal the mud on the pit, and leave the air outlet and the fire eye.

The other is to use large firewood to build a fire, hollow, seal it with mud around it, and dig out the fire eye and tuyere.

Chang'an checked it, the children did a good job, went to find his sister, and saw that she was busy smashing limestone.

"What is this for?" Chang'an is a good brother, and he has already started to help at the same time as he asked.

Fang Yue leaned close to his brother's ear and whispered: "Ancient cement, burn it in a charcoal kiln, I want to try if it can be burned." Don't get your hopes up, the kiln where the charcoal is burned is not warm enough, and it may not be able to be made. ”

"It's okay, try to play, I'll call someone to help you." Chang'an got up to leave.

Fang Yue grabbed his brother, "No, I'll try first." ”

Fang Mingyuan shouted Chang'an to go back, how old a child is, and he is still playing with the little doll, he will come soon, there is something serious.

"I know that kind of pedal waterwheel, that one doesn't work, it's too strenuous, will you draw that kind of big circle waterwheel that spins on your own?"

Chang'an doesn't know how to describe his father's whimsy, is the waterwheel easy to build? It depends on the wind and the speed of the water!

Fang Mingyuan said: "Don't think about whether it's difficult or not, try it first, and if it doesn't work, forget it!" The mountains are full of trees, and it takes a little manpower, in case it is done! ”

The patriarch shouted: "Mingyuan nephew, what are you doing!" Do you want to circle this side? ”

Fang Mingyuan patted his son on the shoulder and encouraged.

Chang'an heard his father say: There is a kind of waterwheel in the south that can turn the water flow, which can lift the water from the river, let's dig a canal in the field, and we can water the whole land. Aren't I busy! Arrange Chang'an to draw the drawings, we can not do anything else, watering the ground is a big deal.

The patriarch responded: Yes, yes, don't worry about anything else, let Mingjiang do the water lifting first.

Slipped outside the barracks wall, Fang Mingyuan pointed to the official road, "From here to the official road is empty, I didn't say let us farm, this land is not good, when our house is built, we will also build a house here."

I thought that in the future, we should have a carpenter's workshop, a blacksmith's workshop, and we should make this place a real town, and then our life will be better! ”

"What do you mean, let's build some houses and rent them out to collect the tile money?" The patriarch said confusedly.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head, "I won't have time to build a house before the beginning of spring next year, so first fence the place and tie the fence to the wall, it will always be useful in the future." ”

"Medium, medium, what you say, let's do it." It was easy to tie up the fence wall, and the patriarch agreed, turned around and shouted to arrange for everyone, and after finishing the work at hand, he wanted to build the fence wall.

Everyone glanced at the patriarch, and then pouted and worked, the work at hand was done, who knows when!

Back in the courtyard of the barracks, the clan uncle pointed to the drawings and asked, "Mingyuan's nephew, if you build it like this, the bricks may not be enough, and it will be built into a two-story building?" Why don't you look solemn! ”

Fang Mingyuan nodded and said: "Yes, just by relying on the well, build a few rows of two-story small buildings, we have such a wide wall, and it can't be built inside." ”

The patriarch smacked his lips and said: "It's a pity, such a good stone, what are you doing to build a wall, building a pigsty is also more useful than a wall, you can't demolish the wall, let's build a wall with adobe?" ”

"Oops! Don't be the patriarch, let's guard the mountain, who knows when the wolf, tiger, bear blind or something, the stone wall is good, and the beast can't jump in when it's tired. "Fang Mingyuan hurriedly braked the patriarch, don't tear down the life-saving wall.

The patriarch was timid, and immediately thought of the wolves, and slapped his thigh, "Mingjiang, press the gate quickly, don't let the wolves in." ”

Fang Mingjiang is working with his head bored, where is the gate? Didn't you carry it to the shack last night?

Working with torches at night, Fang Mingyuan knew that his daughter had burned a lot of charcoal and praised Fang Yue in front of everyone.

The girl is too capable, why can she do it!

"Dad, tomorrow is in the market, we want to sell charcoal, these are what we burned, how much money we bought, you can't ask for it." Fang Yue wants to be financially independent.

Mrs. Niu glared and wanted to say, no, what do you little babies want money for.

Fang Mingyuan agreed, "Okay, dad, don't do it, you can take your money yourself, but you are not allowed to spend it indiscriminately." ”

Mrs. Niu quit, "What do you want money for?" Don't take it off. ”

Fang Yue grinned and said: "Mother said, the next time you go to the city, you will buy us books, paper and pens, I want to save money, so that all my brothers and sisters have books to read, and they all have paper and pencils, Dad, when the time comes, you will teach us to read." ”

"What kind of book does a girl read!" Mrs. Niu said casually.

Fang Mingyuan said with a cold face: "No matter whether it is a male baby or a female baby, you have to study." I'm busy now, and when I'm free, I'll teach my children to read in the big house we built, and in the winter, we teach my children during the day, and adults will learn to read and write at night. ”

Someone was embarrassed and said, "Let's forget it, let the babies learn." ”

"What I said, if you don't learn, your baby will have something to say in the future, you don't learn, why let me learn?

There is that naughty baby, you don't want to endorse well, you don't understand, you are fooled and say that it is good, don't let the children laugh? ”

At this time, Fang Mingyuan couldn't imagine that in winter, he would be busier than now, but the big words would not prevent him from blowing out now.

The people in the village were suddenly full of energy, and the house we lived in was not in a hurry, so we built the big house first, and let the children study first.

Fang Yue is very satisfied, now grandma can't confiscate my money.

Fang Mingyuan talked to Mrs. Niu alone, "Mother, how do we educate the children, don't interfere, don't give the children a little family." ”

Mrs. Niu: "You weren't taught by me, right?" ”

Fang Mingyuan said with a dark face: "Yes, but now that we have split up, you don't care about my family's affairs!" ”

Mrs. Niu is angry, she wants to slap her mouth, why do you just scare about the four family's affairs!

Fang Mingyuan left, and asked Daddy Zhang to calculate how many houses could be built with the demolished bricks, and how many bricks were needed.

Mrs. Niu couldn't eat dinner angrily, Dong Xiaoying didn't know about this, if she knew, she would definitely say that Fang Mingyuan shouldn't treat the old lady like this.

What is Dong Xiaoying doing!

"Emma! My hands are rubbing out of the sparks, quickly bring out this bucket, change the basin and come in, and I will rub another basin of soapy water. ”

The children played in the mud for a day, and each of them became muddy children, and they couldn't be washed with grass and wood ashes, so Dong Xiaoying spontaneously hid in the shed surrounded by grass curtains, fetching water by herself, and she had to work hard to rub soap.

When we went to bed at night, the children jumped in circles around the adults, so that the mother could smell it, it was so fragrant, it was so fragrant, we washed it all.

Mrs. Niu was lying down sulking, the fourth family just didn't know what to worry about, the hands were too big, these children were all used, it was a waste. It's so fragrant, it must be very expensive, what are these babies doing with those good things?

I thought in my heart, but I couldn't say that my son wouldn't let me take care of it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dong Xiaoying was woken up by the sound of tamping, she dug the foundation yesterday and began to lay the foundation today.

Six strong men pulled the rope and shouted together, get up! The big wooden pier was tied up by a rope, pulled up by a strong man, shouting and smashing!

Boom! A muffled sound!

The other side is not to be outdone, shouting and smashing! Boom! Another bang!

The three wooden piers were rammed at the same time, not to mention the movement. The hearts of the people who shook hurt their hearts.

"Chick, chick get up, the milk has taken a good place for you, go and put our things on the table, go!"
