Chapter 250: Renovating the House 3

In fact, it is all the credit of Mu Xiu, she has a lot of water stored in the space, Mu Xiu will secretly go to the field every two days, watering is very simple for her, but for Chen Xuhui, who needs to use an ox cart to pull water one by one, it is the most arduous and repetitive work.

Mu Xiu has already planned in his heart, the peanuts, sweet potatoes, corn, and soybeans in the field are all ripe next month, and they will be harvested.

In the morning, these 20 or so people mainly cleaned up the broken bricks and tiles after the burning, and the green bricks used to build the house were all green bricks, and they were thrown aside after being broken, and then they paved a gravel path outside the door, and the burned beams could be used as firewood after being split.

On Mu Xiu's side, the lunch meal has been prepared, the sister-in-law of the Chen family is responsible for serving the rice, the eldest sister of the Liu family is responsible for serving the dishes, and Mu Xiu is responsible for serving the soup.

"It's time to eat." After finishing the preparations, the sister-in-law of the Chen family walked into the courtyard and shouted.

Hearing the meal, everyone didn't immediately put down the work in their hands, and at this time, Master Niu shouted, "It's time to eat." Only then did everyone put down their work, lined up, followed behind Master Niu, washed their hands first, and then each took the two bowls prepared and began to cook.

Everyone filled a bowl full of coarse grain rice, and the toppings of diced pork belly were also filled to another bowl, and everyone took a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables, found a place, and began to eat.

"Everyone eat slowly, if it's not enough, continue to add it, and there is bone broth, and then drink the soup after eating." Mu Xiu beckoned.

"Mu Xiu, the person you found here, you really know the rules, I used to go to my cousin's house in the neighboring village to help, as soon as the meal started, it was a group of men who rushed over with the smell of sweat, and several, like starving ghosts, grabbed the bowl and served the rice, if you don't wash your hands, forget it, the sweat on your face dripped into the rice bucket, and it was mixed with soil." The sister-in-law of the Chen family said with palpitations, that scene is still in her mind.

"No, I've also encountered it, everyone is grabbing food, scolding, and about to fight in order to eat more food." The eldest sister of the Liu family deeply agrees.

"This is all the master with the apprentice, disciplined on weekdays, it is a regular construction team, and those who make up temporarily are not comparable, not to mention, on weekdays to build a house, the villagers also help a lot, meet one or two unreasonable, the master can't say anything, can only be more and more chaotic." This is also the reason why Mu Xiu looked for a construction team from the beginning.

"When my family builds a house in the future, I will directly find a construction team, you can see that this work is done cleanly, and everything is neatly placed." The sister-in-law of the Chen family said.

"Sister-in-law, give me another bowl of rice." A young voice rang out.

"Give me a bowl too."

These people eat too fast...... More than 20 people lined up to eat, and only after everyone finished serving the meal, the three of them chatted briefly, and the people who started to eat had finished eating.

Another round of rice beating began, and the lads ate an astonishing amount of rice, usually three to five bowls of rice.

"Girl, your dish is really good, even the two of us can't help but eat an extra bowl." Master Ma served a bowl of big bone broth and drank it with relish.

"When you're full, you have the strength, Master Ma, let's have another bowl." Mu Xiu saw that Master Ma had finished drinking, and took the bowl and wanted to serve it again.

"Girl, don't do it, this is full, you have the strength to work, and if you eat, you just don't have the strength." Master Ma wiped his mouth and said to everyone who had eaten about the same: "Hurry up, rest for half an hour, and start work." ”

At this time, Mu Xiu and the others were free, and the bowl of rice began to eat, and after everyone finished resting and going to work, they began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, sweep the floor and wipe the table, and began to prepare for dinner.

Soon it was evening, and the crowd was working fast, and it was expected that it would take five days to clean up, but today it was only one day, and a third of it had already been cleaned up.

For dinner, Mu Xiu prepared noodles, and the sister-in-law of the Chen family and the eldest sister of the Liu family were rolling noodles all afternoon, using cornmeal mixed with sweet potato noodles and white noodles.

With the leftover bone broth at noon, half of the noodles are left, and the stuffy pig is poured into the water and poured on the noodles, and the entrance is spicy and fragrant.

The workers were sweating and spicy, and they couldn't help but take two more bites.

In the summer, it was dark late, and after dinner, the workers worked for more than an hour until the sun went down, and then they began to organize their tools and prepare to leave.

"Master Ma, this is today's salary, a total of five yuan." Mu Xiu said that the day was over.

"Girl, you take this seriously." Master Ma thought that Mu Xiu was just talking, after all, for them, the daily end was only good and there was no harm.

"Of course, it counts." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go first." Master Ma is not a person of many words, and he took the apprentices who were tired for a day and went back to rest.

Master Niu's mother-in-law's family is from Muxiu Village, but Master Niu's parents died early, and only the mother-in-law was left alone on both sides of the husband and wife, so she was taken to Master Niu's home to take care of.

The mother-in-law's house has been vacant all year round, and now it is just the place where they settled, otherwise they would have to toss a lot of time and energy back and forth on the light road every day.

In the following days, Mu Xiu was very busy, and he was busy with three meals a day.

The dishes are actually the same every day, but for everyone, as long as there is meat to eat, it is already the best meal.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Mu Xiu also boils two large pots of mung bean soup and chrysanthemum bamboo leaf tea every day, so that the workers can drink more water to cool off, otherwise it is easy to suffer from heat stroke when working under such a big sun every day.

Mu Xiu's food is good, the wages are also refreshing, and everyone works very hard.

On the fifth day, the foundation was laid, and while the foundation was drying, the high wall was made. On the tenth day, the foundation was solid, and the bricks began to be erected, and the wall was built.

Through Master Niu's introduction, Mu Xiu found a few carpenters to come to the house to measure the size and remake the furniture.

In the room of the Mushui couple, a row of large wardrobes with a height of two meters and a width of three meters occupies the entire wall, and a large bed with a length of two meters and a width of one meter and eight meters is ordered in the house. Three sets of dressers were ordered, one in Zhou Shuilian's room, one in Mu Xiu and one in Mu Xiaocao's room.

Mu Xiu's room is a little smaller, but the bed is also a large bed two meters long and one meter wide and one meter eight, and the wardrobe also occupies a wall.
