In less than twenty minutes, the workers had almost finished eating, and they continued to work on the new homestead one after another.

Rural workers, generally very conscious, in addition to the necessary rest, try to seize the time, take the initiative to work, do not let the owner be embarrassed, everyone is acquaintances, too procrastination on the face is not good-looking.

But as I said earlier, it's about the same, not everyone, because there are still four people who haven't finished eating, and they are sitting there snorting and eating vigorously.

It was the four members of the Luo family.

Xu Laosi watched silently. There is a saying in the countryside that it is called urging work but not eating, so he did not make a sound. But I wondered in my heart, this Luo family is one by one, I'm afraid they are all starving ghosts reincarnated? I haven't seen the speed of eating slower than others, right?

Seeing that the four of them had finally finished eating, Xu Laosi hurriedly beckoned them over.

Over there, Liao Qing was already arranging for someone to stir the sand and gravel, and then pour it into the dug foundation, ready to ram it.

The rammer is used to grind the stone stone of the dojo, erect it vertically, tie two thick wooden sticks to form a tic-tac-toe shape, and then use eight people to lift it high and then fall down, and so on, with the help of its weight to smash the loose soil firmly. That's ramming.

It is quite laborious to do this work, and this stone stone alone is at least more than 100 catties, not that young adults can't do it.

In order to ensure that everyone acts in unison, Liao Qing chose a singing and tamping tune surnamed Chen, who can speak well on weekdays, and has also sung this kind of minor tune before, and is proficient.

After everyone was ready, the person surnamed Chen started to lead the singing loudly, and everyone followed suit.

(Chen) rammed! Everyone: Hey, hey!

To the north! Hey, hey, hey!

Build a new house! Hey, hey, hey!

Marry the bride! Hey, hey, hey!

(Chen) entered the room! Hey, hey, hey!

(Chen) Mo Wang! Hey, hey, hey!

Inside the house! Hey, hey, hey!

(Chen) has a lover! Hey, hey, hey!

……

When singing a certain sentence, I don't know if it's an illusion, Xu Jiaojiao seemed to see Liao Qing, one of the lifters, glance at her quickly.

Hehe.

Everyone followed the tune, sang a sentence, and the rammer smashed it. The people present were all happy to listen and work, and Xu Jiaojiao also smiled on the side, thinking it was very interesting.

Most of this kind of minor tune is made up randomly on the spot, and sometimes it even brings some meat jokes, but as long as it is not excessive, everyone will not mind.

It is also very necessary in the process of tamping, which can not only keep everyone moving consistently, but also lift people's spirits, so that the laborious and monotonous labor has some joy.

After the foundation was solidified, the green bricks began to be laid on top and the walls were built.

But it's not early at this time, just a head, the sun is about to set, and it will continue tomorrow.

……

After dinner, the workers said goodbye one after another, and Liao Qing and Xu Laosi sent off the guests and made an appointment to come again tomorrow morning.

Everyone was almost gone, and Xu Jiaojiao was about to help pack up her things, but suddenly heard a "whoosh" call not far away! Immediately after that, someone said "ah".

At this time, the sky was about to get dark, and there were plenty of shadows, Xu Jiaojiao took a closer look, but it turned out to be the four members of the Luo family who were at the end of the matter of course, and Xiao Hei suddenly blocked the way, and Luo's sister-in-law was so frightened that she sat on the ground with a buttocks.

What's going on?

Xu Jiaojiao was puzzled, and Liao Qing and Xu Laosi on the side also walked over.

"Blackie! What are you scaring people for! Xu Jiaojiao shouted.

"Meow--" Blackie wagged his tail, but didn't get out of the way.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Sister-in-law Luo waved her hand and said, "I was accidentally scared by it, you guys are busy, it's okay!" ”

Xu Jiaojiao stepped forward: "I'll help you up!" ”

"No, no, no!" Sister-in-law Luo hurriedly said, turned over and stood up, but unexpectedly fell two things from her pocket and rolled on the side of the road.

Xu Jiaojiao took a closer look, and it turned out to be two meatballs!

Xu Jiaojiao: ......

"Alas, hehe...... "Sister-in-law Luo sneered, "Alas, what, our cubs are greedy, I pondered, take two of them back to give them a taste......

"You're afraid there's more than two, aren't you?" Xu Laosi stared at her pocket.

The coat worn by Sister-in-law Luo is men's, still worn, but with pockets. This is actually the usual practice of people who have no money, just have a piece of clothing to wear, and don't pay attention to it so much.

Her pockets were bulging at the moment.

"Hey, that ......" Sister-in-law Luo naturally understood in her heart, and wanted to say something, but Xu Laosi interrupted her.

"My family asked you to work, and you were paid." Xu Laosi said with a straight face, "Although we are relatives, taking two balls is nothing, but you take too much, right?" Besides, our family's business is not finished yet! ”

"yes, forget it...... Hey. Sister-in-law Luo had no choice but to retreat to the table, hold up her pocket, and pour out all the balls in her pocket, there were more than twenty of them.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at it with a black line, she didn't put this package, can she still eat it?

Xu Laosi didn't care about this, the meatballs are made of meat and flour, this is a relatively expensive thing, and it would be too wasteful if you threw it away.

He was concerned about another matter, watching Sister-in-law Luo finish shaking her pockets, and her eyes were fixed on the other three again.

The Luo brothers lowered their heads and did not move.

Luo's second sister-in-law sighed, turned around, and also poured out a bag of fried lotus root chips......

It was dark, and I couldn't see any expressions on the faces of these four people, but I could think of it.

Liao Qing rubbed his nose and left silently.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't know what to say.

After the two daughters-in-law emptied their pockets, they said "Oh, that brother-in-law, let's go......" and hurriedly went to chase the Luo brothers.

Xu Laosi waved his hand wordlessly.

Walking out of the distance, Xu Jiaojiao still vaguely heard their conversation.

"It's you, you have to let me pretend, you have to let me pretend, this is a big ugly ......"

"You say you're a mother-in-law, what's the use, a cat scares you, otherwise what's the matter? It's been packed home a long time ago......"

After a long time, Xu Laosi turned to Xu Jiaojiao and said, "Sister, brother, please do something, don't tell your mother about this for the time being." ”

"Why?" Xu Jiaojiao said subconsciously.

Xu Laosi sighed, "Is it easy for me to start a business?" I...... Anyway, I'll wait until I'll think about it for two days, what's going on? ”

"Okay." Xu Jiaojiao nodded, anyway, it's not a big deal. Fortunately, Xu Zhang's is not here, otherwise, there may be a lot of trouble.

In other words, Xiao Hei is indeed worthy of Xu Zhang's liking, with high wisdom and cleverness.

……

The next day, the workers arrived early, and after breakfast, they officially built the wall.

The walls are made of green bricks, and the binder is glutinous rice mortar.

Glutinous rice mortar is a mixture of glutinous rice and lime slurry, the production method is to boil the glutinous rice, pour it into lime water and mix well, the combination of the two will produce a very strong adhesion.
