The villagers all think that Zhang Zhenhe's family can be prosperous now, all by giving birth to a good daughter, and then think about their own children, if only they had a child who could be like the county lord of Xueshan.

When Zhang's father heard the villagers talk like this, not only was they not unhappy, but they felt that the villagers were praising their daughters, and they were a little honored.

Nearly 100 people cut and quarryed together, and it only took two days to prepare all the materials for building the house.

Because the freshly cut wood wants to build a house, and it will take some time to dehydrate and be used to build a house, so the trunk is just peeled first and left to dry.

The family discussed, anyway, if there were many people to live in the house, it would be better to build a few more houses, and finally decided to build a total of 12 houses.

They intended that there would be 40 slaves in the house, and five of the female slaves would naturally occupy a house.

There were 35 male slaves left, and if they were to have five of them in one room, they would need seven more houses, and four of them would be bigger ones to build, and two of them would be used as warehouses for storing grain.

There was also a kitchen that was set aside for the slaves, and it was thought that the food for the slaves to eat could be made right next to their own houses, and it would be too troublesome to move around, and another room would be used as a utility room for some farm tools and the like, after all, it was dependent on this large piece of farmland.

The wasteland is in full swing to build a house, and the wheat planted at home is also about to be harvested, and the weather is sunny these days, and the villagers in the village, every household is busy harvesting wheat, and Zhang Xiaoxue's family is naturally no exception.

Originally, when it was time to harvest the wheat, in addition to the very young children, all men, women and children in the family went into battle, thinking that the wheat in the field should be harvested and dried in the morning.

I was afraid that it would not be good to catch up with the rain and make the wheat damp again, but now because there are so many slaves in the family, half of the people will be taken out and the wheat in the field will be harvested in less than an hour on the few acres of land at home.

Because the land of Zhang Xiaoxue's grandparents and uncle's house is also next to the family's land, Zhang's father naturally can't watch his father and brothers busy, so he ordered the slaves in the family to go over and help harvest the wheat in the field.

When the family was harvesting wheat, Zhang Xiaoxue also went to the field to take a look, and found that the wheat planted in the field was similar to when she first came back that day.

Now there are three cows in the family, and the little wheat of the three families is pulled to the common threshing floor in the village.

The wheat cut by the three of them was naturally the first to be placed on the threshing floor, and they chose a random place, put it down, spread out all the wheat and put it in the sun, and dried it for a day, and then they were here in the threshing floor, and all the wheat grains were beaten down by hand.

Threshing wheat here really can't be more primitive, that is, it keeps beating on a stone, knocking down the dry wheat grains, and the individual wheat grains that can't be beaten down have to be pulled down by hand.

Naturally, these tasks were arranged for the slaves at home to do, and the slaves were also very serious, and the wheat straw that had been stripped off in their hands was checked, and only after there were no wheat grains in it were put aside, and the new wheat was picked up again and beaten.

Although there is not too much wheat grown at home, if you do it alone, you will not be able to lift your arms for half a day, which is not a light job, and it is also working under the sun, not to mention the taste.

Zhang Xiaoxue stood in the threshing floor and watched for a while, and felt that it was too hot, and thought that when she went home, she must take out a big watermelon, which was delicious to relieve the heat.

Seeing the slaves who were threshing the wheat hard, Zhang Xiaoxue was also afraid of their heat stroke, so he ordered Er Manu to stop the work in hand first, and let her go back to cook some mung bean soup and bring it, so that these slaves could drink and relieve the heat.

The slaves who worked heard Zhang Xiaoxue's instructions, and they were still very grateful to the master for being so considerate to them, and the work in their hands was more serious.

"Xue'er, it's so hot to go home first, don't bask here, there are so many people in our family, you can't be busy here. ”

Zhang's mother also felt the sun overhead, and her scalp was a little hot, and she saw that her daughter's face was a little red and fluttering, so she hurriedly told her daughter to go home quickly, but don't burn her daughter's tender face.

"Yes, your mother is right, Xue'er should go home quickly, you don't have a black face like us, don't tan your face. ”

When Zhang's father heard his wife say this, he also looked at his daughter, and found that his daughter's little face was already tanned, so he hurriedly said.

"Hehe, Xue'er will listen to her father's words and go home first, and wait for me to buy you a hat in the town, and in the future, on this hot day, you will wear a hat if you want to go out, so that you can't get sunburned." ”

Yuan Guang said with a smile, thinking that those ladies in the city would wear a wide-brimmed hat when they went out in summer, which was both beautiful and sunscreen, so he thought about waiting to go to the town to buy a beautiful hat for his sister.

"Haha! Big brother's idea is good, he wants to buy a beautiful hat for Xue'er, and those ladies in the city are willing to wear a hat when they go out, which is both beautiful and sunscreen. ”

Yuan Lei heard his eldest brother say this, and he also very much agreed to buy a hat for his sister to wear.

"Yes, how did I forget this stubble, I should really buy a hat for Xue'er to wear, our Xue'er is beautiful, and she must look good when she wears a hat.

I'm not afraid of the sun when I go out to walk like this, so it's decided, Yuan Guang, you can also stop the work in your hands, it's not bad for you to do it alone, catch an ox cart, and go to the town now to buy a hat for Xue'er. ”

As soon as Zhang's mother heard that her eldest son said that she wanted to buy a hat for her daughter to wear, she couldn't wait, so she asked him to hurry to the town to buy it now.

Zhang's father also echoed what Zhang's mother said, and asked his son to quickly stop the work in his hand and go to buy a hat for his daughter.

"What's the need to be in such a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you're worried that I'm in the sun, then I'll go back now, I'll go home and make you some food to eat to cool off the heat, I'll cool a watermelon first, you can eat it when you go home after you finish your work, and the sweet and big watermelon is very relieving of the heat." ”

Zhang Xiaoxue saw that the family cared so much about herself, not only did she not let herself work, but she was also afraid that she would get sunburned, she was very happy, and she didn't let them rush to buy a hat for herself, thinking that it would be better to go home first and make some food for her family to eat.
