Today, the two sons of the old village chief, the eldest grandson, have also been forcibly conscripted, leaving only the youngest grandson, who is less than thirteen years old, and three granddaughters who have not yet been decided.

The men are gone, and it is difficult for girls to find a suitable person to marry.

Such a beautiful yellow flower girl, staying at home to spend her time, may not be able to find a good family in this life, so she lives a lonely life.

Mrs. Gu came to the courtyard gate of the old village chief's house, remembered the situation of his family, and sighed deeply.

Niu Xiufang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old village chief, has great strength and a pungent personality, and is a woman who is quite a big woman and dares to be a woman.

She understood Mrs. Gu's intention, and immediately said that she would gather people to ensure that she would help their family repair the house before winter.

Mrs. Gu was overjoyed, patted her heart and said that no matter how young or old in the village, as long as they are willing to help, each person will be paid ten cents a day.

Hearing that there were ten cents, the old village chief and his two granddaughters were moved, and the twelve-year-old grandson also rushed to help.

Mrs. Gu was worthy of the trip, and the matter was settled on the same day, and Niu Xiufang was given three taels of silver as a deposit, and their family helped to buy bricks and tiles and gather people.

Niu Xiufang is also a cool and pungent character, just do what she says, take people to the town the next day, and buy the bricks and tiles and wood that need to be used in the afternoon.

Mrs. Gu was careful, and asked someone to go to the town again and bought a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil, as well as radishes and cabbage.

If someone in the family is working, it is natural to provide food and drink, which is the unwritten rule of the helpers in each village.

She thought that winter was coming, the snow was slippery, and the road to the town was not easy to walk, so she took this opportunity to stock up on the food and vegetables that her family needed for the winter, so she bought a lot of them.

One day, the women in the village were very active in the salary of ten yuan.

Niu Xiufang led the team, accompanied by more than a dozen people, went to the town together, rented Aunt Cao's mule cart, and bought rice, flour, grain and oil, as well as vegetables and radishes at one time, piled them up in the small courtyard of Mrs. Gu's house, and stacked them into a small mountain.

The old village chief would look at the weather and say that the wind and sun were beautiful in recent days, and it would not rain, which was suitable for repairing the house.

Niu Xiufang said that she would do it, led the gathering of good manpower, and began to start construction under the guidance of an experienced old mason in the village.

Mrs. Gu's old house was in disrepair and was on the verge of collapse.

Walls should be reinforced, roofs should be renovated, and windows should be renovated.

A dozen women worked methodically under the command of the old mason.

In addition to not having the strength to be as strong as men, filling in tiles with mud, brushing walls and plugging leaks, and meticulous work, even carpentry work is no worse than that of men.

Mrs. Gu was full of joy when she saw it, and she also came to her senses, and took a few familiar mothers-in-law to work in the kitchen and cook for everyone.

Liu Cuiya has children to take care of, so she can't help much, and often walks along the riverbank with her daughter in her arms.

Coincidentally, every time the mother and daughter come to the shore, they will not return empty-handed.

There are also many varieties to pick up.

Carp, grass carp, loach, yellow eel, sturgeon, crab, lobster vary in size and species.

Liu Cuiya, who was happy, couldn't close her mouth.

The people in the village also looked at it strangely, and the children were even more careless, following the mother and daughter with a smile, helping to pick up fish and catch shrimp, and having fun.

With the fish picked up by Liu Cuiya, Mrs. Gu's food is more than one grade higher, and she has fish soup to drink every day.

The women are even more energetic, working from morning to night.
