Of course, after digging the mud ditch, there is still a long way to go before the ditch is completed.

The next step is to prepare the wooden wedges.

They took axes, saws and other tools to the mountain where they had previously cut down trees, collected branches that had not been used before, cut them down and sawed them into half-meter-long wooden wedges.

It's not an easy job.

Although the appearance requirements of the wooden wedge are not very high, the wooden wedge the size of the bowl mouth is only 20 centimeters, and if you want to arrange such wedges in two rows, you need tens of thousands of wedges.

Chu Xintian felt that he didn't have to worry about the wooden wedge.

Within a few days, they couldn't make tens of thousands, which was more tiring than logging.

The work of this wooden wedge can be done slowly.

However, for the next few days, they were able to make three hundred wooden wedges almost every day.

At this rate, these people do almost nothing but make wooden wedges.

Over the next ten days, they made 3,500 wooden wedges together.

These wooden wedges are also inserted into the sides of the ditch at any time during the making.

They ran out of branches they had cut down last time and had to cut down some trees near the ditch.

The trees they cut down were not wasted and were put to good use.

Of course, these three and a half thousand wooden wedges were only a small part of the ditch completed.

What remains remains a lot of work.

However, Chu Xintian felt that she didn't have to worry too much, anyway, before the arrival of spring, there was still a period of time, when she had to grow medicinal herbs and needed irrigation, and during this time, she could take her time.

In the past ten days, Chu Xintian did not let Niu Li and Fusheng do it in vain, and she also gave them one or two taels of silver.

These days have passed, and Jiao Tiezhu has also brought his workers to pull over the purchased building materials one after another.

On the eighth day of October, Jiao Tiezhu did not delay the original start date, and Chu Xintian's new home started smoothly.

On this day, the whole family was very happy, Chu Xintian got up early in the morning, according to Grandma Li, she prepared the wine and food for the commencement ceremony.

Although she didn't believe it very much, she knew that people of this era did, especially these craftsmen, who noticed these things before they even started working.

Bai Yongjing also asked his husband for half a day off to help at home.

He is the male of the family, and although he is still young, he still has to do the things of sacrificing heaven and earth.

After the sacrifice to heaven and earth, the firecrackers for exorcism were put up again, and the foundation began to be dug.

Bai Yongjing snuggled in Chu Xintian's arms, looked up at Chu Xintian, and his eyes were moist.

"Mother, if Daddy is still here, how nice it would be"

This child, when he has any important moments, he will think of Bai Er.

Chu Xintian can understand Bai Yongjing.

If Bai Er is still alive, he can do such a thing as worshipping heaven and earth, how can he do it with a five-year-old child

"Even if Daddy is gone, the two of us have to live a good life" Chu Xintian touched Bai Yongjing's head and comforted him.

"Mother, I know. I just remembered my dad. It's nothing. Mother, don't be sad."

The child is very sensible, he is afraid that Chu Xintian will be uncomfortable. He, in turn, comforted her.

"Okay, mother knows, Jing'er, it's time for you to go to school, don't delay too long."

Bai Yongjing nodded, went home to pack his schoolbag and went out.

Chu Xintian also went out with the hammer and Bai Yongjing.

However, instead of sending her son to the school, she went to the North Mountain Market.

Today, Jiao Tiezhu has gathered fourteen craftsmen to work together.

These people, Chu Xintian is in charge of food.

Fourteen craftsmen and Jiao Tiezhu together, that is, fifteen people eat.

In addition, there is also a hammer that is very edible, and Chu Xintian has to prepare meals for at least twenty people.

Everyone did physical work and had to eat well at noon, so Chu Xintian didn't want to be sloppy about the quality or quantity of this lunch.

Of course, it is not necessary to have a variety of meals, but there must be meat and vegetables.
