A few days before the start of construction, Lin Zhaoxi and Jun Yunchen purchased a lot of food and utensils in the town, preparing to cook food for the workers before the start of construction.

The rules of Anning County are like this, the workers must be fed the day before the start of work, and the workers must be fed on the day of the beam.

With a wave of her hand, Lin Chaoxi decided that the meals that the workers had built for her in the past few months were all covered, and only when the workers were full of food could they have the strength to work.

So the two began to buy ingredients on a large scale.

After purchasing a lot of things, until the ox cart couldn't fit it, Lin Chaoxi sighed, "It's really a little inconvenient to travel, it seems that you have to buy a carriage another day." ”

Jun Yunchen on the side heard Lin Chaoxi's words, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

The two returned home after purchasing, and met Lin Jiande, who came out to walk around and exercise his leg muscles in the yard.

Lin Jiande saw the two of them coming back, and beckoned to Lin Chaoxi, "Xi'er, I'll discuss something with you." Now we are still short of masters working in new houses? ”

"What do you mean, Dad?" Lin Chaoxi looked at Lin Jiande in surprise, Lin Jiande had never asked about this.

"Oh, yes. Iron Pillar and Shuman have been idle recently, and I want them to help us do it. Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, right? ”

Lin Chaoxi responded with a smile, "No problem, you let them help." ”

In their most difficult time, Yan Shuman and Tang Tiezhu were enthusiastic to come to help, so with such an errand, they needed it, and Lin Chaoxi naturally agreed.

And so the matter was settled.

On the day the construction began, because they had to cook, Lin Chaoxi and his mother couldn't leave, and at Zhang's suggestion, they called Tang Tiezhu and Yan Shuman's mother-in-law to help cook.

A meal was finally done under the busy work of the four of them.

Jun Yunchen went to supervise the work and did what he could, and he was also busy on the construction site.

The house built by Lin Chaoxi is a bluestone brick house, made of glutinous rice lime mortar.

The Great Wall of this era was built with this kind of craftsmanship, and it was strong and durable.

At Lin Chaoxi's suggestion, the floor of the house was paved with a layer of thin bluestone bricks.

These bluestone bricks were all transported from the suburbs of the county using Jun Yunchen's relationship.

This luxurious material and workmanship is unique in the entire border town.

Therefore, it also attracted onlookers from the villagers.

At noon, a group of workers gathered at Lin Chaoxi's house, the meals were full, and there were meat dishes, compared to the people of this era, meat dishes are rare things, every worker eats a mouth full of oil, and Lin Chaoxi, the main family, is full of praise.

Just when everyone was eating happily, there was a commotion in the front yard of the Lin family, and everyone was stunned, and their faces couldn't help but be a little curious.

"You eat, I'll go to the front yard and have a look." Lin Jiande got up and was about to go to the front yard.

"Brother Jiande, this is eating, where are you going?" Tang Tiezhu's wife Li Guihua, who was serving the dishes, stopped Lin Jiande, who was getting up.

After learning about Lin Jiande's visit to the front yard from the worker next to her, she put the dishes on the table, "Hey, I know about this." A few days ago, didn't the old Zheng family propose marriage to Lin Ximei? Today is the day when the two young people meet. It is estimated that they need to invite their relatives to have a meal in the evening, and inform everyone that they have become a meaning. ”

Following Li Guihua, Lin Chaoxi, who came up with a plate of braised pork, heard this, and his eyes flickered.

She always felt that things might not be so simple.

But now she doesn't have time to take care of things in the front yard.

After putting the dishes down, continue to go back to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

In the end, Lin Jiande, under the persuasion of everyone, did not get up and went to the front yard to see what happened.

When the workers went back to work after eating, Lin Chaoxi, who had finished eating, was about to wash the dishes and chopsticks, Li Guihua snatched the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and pushed her out of the kitchen, "Come on, you've been busy for a long time, go out to breathe, leave this matter to your aunt." ”

Lin Chaoxi, who was pushed out of the kitchen, shrugged, returned to the room, and sat on a stool to rest.

She seemed to be resting, but in fact she had entered the gray mist space.

In the research institute, Lin Zhaoxi looked at the PVC pipe in front of him and was a little entangled.

In view of this era, it was very inconvenient to go to the river to fetch water every day, so she wondered whether to find a water source in the mountains and then use this PVC pipe to bring the spring water to her home, so that it would be convenient to use water.

But this thing is ahead of the times, it is convenient to use, but it is a trouble that cannot be explained clearly, and it is easy to get into trouble. Now she wondered if it was worth the risk.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Chaoxi smiled bitterly, she decided not to take this risk, but following the practice of cities in this era, it is a good compromise to dig a well.

The decision was made, and Lin Chaoxi left the gray mist space.

As soon as Lin Zhaoxi returned to reality, Jun Yunchen walked into Lin Zhaoxi's room.

Lin Chaoxi's eyes lit up when he saw Jun Yunchen coming in, "You came just in time, I was looking for you." Do you know the master who drilled the well? I want to dig a well in the new house. ”

Lin Zhaoxi said as he spread out the design plan of the new house, and pointed to the patio, "Dig a well close here." ”

"Yes." Jun Yunchen nodded, and then he saw that Lin Chaoxi's design had a water supply and drainage design, and pointed to the design and asked her, "These are ......?"

Lin Chaoxi saw Jun Yunchen's curiosity, and roughly described the pattern of the sewer pipe to him, "But this is also something I think about, after all, this kind of water pipe is not easy to order." So I had to dig a well. ”

"You can leave this to me." Jun Yunchen looked at the design drawings and thought for a while, "This can be replaced by an iron pipe." As for the parts that are converted...... The spiral mouth can be opened, and the place where the two come into contact is completely connected and fixed with the spiral, so that there will be no water leakage. ”

Lin Chaoxi saw that Jun Yunchen drew inferences from each other, and thought of all the spare parts, Lin Chaoxi's gaze at Jun Yunchen became a little strange.

After these days of contact, she must have concluded that Jun Yunchen was a thorough ancient, but extremely smart, otherwise, with the appearance of being proficient in modern water supply and drainage engineering, Lin Chaoxi couldn't help but wonder if he was a traverser like her.

"What you said is all possible, but only if these iron pipes come into contact with water or mud, and after a long time, they are prone to rust. When the water becomes dirty, you can't drink it. Lin Zhaoxi said the most realistic problem.

"Don't worry, my uncle has a process, as long as some special materials are added when casting iron, this iron pipe will not rust if it is in contact with water for a long time." Jun Yunchen smiled at Lin Chaoxi, "Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely help you get it done before your house is built." ”

"Okay, I'll trouble you with this." Lin Chaoxi didn't expect Jun Yunchen to have such a hand, so she didn't ask much, and handed over the matter to Jun Yunchen, "By the way, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

She hadn't forgotten that Jun Yunchen came to her at this point in time, there must be something.

"I'm here to ask you where to open the well, and if you have a stone floor, it will be difficult for you to open the well." After Jun Yunchen finished speaking, he tapped Lin Chaoxi's design drawing with his fingertips, "And obviously, you already have a better plan." Okay, I'll ask them to reserve a place for a pipe first, and then bury the iron pipe directly, otherwise it will be troublesome. ”

"Hmm." Lin Zhaoxi nodded in agreement.

The two discussed properly, Jun Yunchen went to the new house, Lin Chaoxi looked at the design in front of him, and immediately thought of Jun Yunchen's words, and the corners of her lips flashed with a smile.

"Jiande." Not long after Jun Yunchen left, the voice of the old Lin Tou sounded outside the door, and soon there was a sound in Lin Jiande's room.

Lin Chaoxi's eyes flickered, and he walked out of the room and headed towards Lin Jiande's room next door.

As soon as she stepped into Lin Jiande's room, Lao Zhangtou was already sitting opposite Lin Jiande, and Deng was sitting quietly next to Lao Lintou.

"Today is the day when Mrs. Ximei's family comes to see her, you come over for dinner in the evening and get to know them." Old Lin Tou glanced at Lin Chaoxi, who had just stepped into the gate, and his expression flickered a little.

"Okay. Father. "Lin Jiande is a sincere person, and what the old Lin Tou says is what he says.

When Lin Jiande should go down to eat, Lao Lin Tou breathed a sigh of relief, and then the two were relatively speechless.

Deng Shi, who was sitting beside Lin Jiande, twisted the soft waist of Lao Lin's head. Meat, Lao Lin grinned with a headache, but he didn't speak again.

Deng's face turned pale and looked at Lin Jiande, "Second family, since you don't say anything about the family, then I'll talk about it." After meeting with the old Zheng family today, your sister is going to marry on an auspicious day, and now your family is living a good life, and you have to give your sister Zhang Luo your sister's dowry. Lao Lin, do you think this is the reason? ”

Hearing Deng's words, Lao Lintou's face was a little embarrassed, and he could see Deng's increasingly dark face, Lao Lintou could only stubbornly say to Lin Jiande, "Jiande, what your mother said is reasonable." You also know the situation of our family, because for your little brother's imperial examination, most of the family funds have also been hollowed out, and now it is indeed a little tight.

And you are such a sister, if the dowry is not thick, the Zheng family will more or less look down on your sister, and your sister will be looked down upon when she marries.

Now that your family is developed, I will help the family and give Zhang Luo your sister's marriage, and it won't cost you much money anyway.

We don't want much, a hundred taels is enough. ”

"One hundred taels?" Lin Chaoxi, who had just entered the door, smiled when he heard the words of the old couple, "You really dare to think about it!" This one hundred taels, even if you don't eat or drink as a family, and make crazy money, it will take ten years to earn. I earned the money, so why should I give it to you? ”

"Why? Just because your father is a piece of meat that fell from my belly, without me, there would be no your father, let alone you, a backbone. Why, how much is a hundred taels to you? You sold the tofu for a thousand taels. If you refuse to give a hundred taels, give us the method of making tofu. ”

Deng stood up and glared at Lin Chaoxi angrily, "Lin Chaoxi, being a man has to be conscientious. I raised a large family of you with your grandfather, and now that you are developed, let you give us a hundred taels and honor us, how much? ”
