"What's wrong?"

Hua Shi came back to his senses and asked again.

"Didn't you say yesterday that the second brother's leg injury has healed a lot, and he is going to start repairing the yard from today? I just wanted to ask you, when are we going to start? ”

Hua Xiao looked at her with sparkling eyes and a face full of anticipation.

She'd seen what the flowers had drawn before... The plan, the lifelike house, is better than the best houses in the village, she has never seen a house with such a structure, just at a glance, she fell in love with it.

I've been thinking about it for a long time, and seeing that my second brother's legs are getting better little by little, and I don't need to use crutches to support him, and I can walk on my own, doesn't she start thinking about it......

Hua Shi pondered for a moment and replied, "Just today." ”

Regarding the construction of the house, she has prepared a lot of things one after another in the past two months, and is waiting to start construction.

The structure of the house she drew in advance originally set most of the materials for building the house, which were built with bamboo, so the small bamboo forest in the backyard could be cut down.

The bamboo in the backyard alone was not enough, she also brought a few children with Hua Song, Hua Zhu and Hua Yu, and went around to another bamboo forest not far from the back mountain, and cut a lot of bamboo.

In addition, a lot of wood needs to be cut, and it takes a lot of time just to prepare these things.

Originally, she was going to ask the carpenters and craftsmen in the village to help build the house, but before she could call someone, Hua Song took the initiative to petition, saying that she knew a little about building a house.

After listening to the flowers, she said that she would use bamboo to build the house as a whole, and after looking at the structure of the house she had drawn, she was a little excited to take on this heavy work.

After a few conversations, Hua Shi saw that he really seemed to be a knowledgeable person, so he came......

On the day of the demolition and relocation of the yard, it was inevitable that there was a lot of movement, although the neighbors were far away, but it was impossible not to know about such a big movement.

As soon as the courtyard wall was torn down, when he heard the noise, he ran out to check on the neighbors, and the detective looked straight up.

From a distance, I saw that in the courtyard of the Hua family, under the scorching sun, dust was rising, and several faces of strange men, carrying hoes, were trying to tear down the wall little by little.

The second aunt next door didn't know what was going on, and when she looked at it, she saw two or three unfamiliar faces, so she thought it was the victims who fled from outside the village.

"Hey, hey! What are you guys doing?! Aunt Hua ran over urgently, pointed at Hua Song and Mo Feng, who were under construction, and shouted angrily.

Hearing the sound of someone shouting behind them, Hua Song and Mo Feng turned their heads to look at each other with strange and blank expressions.

"You guys! Right! It's just a few of you, what are you doing there?! Why don't you put your hoe down, where did you come from? How to tear down other people's walls and courtyards! ”

Aunt Hua pointed at the two of them and shouted menacingly, her angry look on her face was not hidden.

When she heard the sound coming from outside, she expected that it must be a villager who had heard the wind, so she hurriedly put down her things and trotted out.

As soon as the person came out, Aunt Hua saw her sharply, waved her hand in her direction in a hurry, and shouted at her, "Hey?!" Spend time! Over here! ”

At this time, there were nearly a dozen people gathered outside the courtyard, all of whom heard the sound and curiously gathered around to watch the excitement.

However, because of the two or three unfamiliar faces that appeared in the courtyard of the Hua family, most of the villagers' faces showed dissatisfied and wary faces.

"Second aunt? What's wrong? Why are you all running over here? "Hua Shi was ready early in the morning, and he would watch a group of people gather around, and he knew it in his heart.

Aunt Hua didn't wait for her to come, so she stepped forward quickly, grabbed her hand, pointed to Hua Song and Mo Feng behind her, frowned and asked, "Who are those two?" Do you know each other? ”

Because of Hua Shi's calm face, Aunt Hua, who was originally full of anger, thought about it and guessed whether Hua Shi had known these two people a long time ago.

The two men, one taller than the other, and with their heads down, couldn't see what they looked like, but judging from their appearance, they were only young men in their twenties.

Hua Shi said the words he had prepared early in the morning, "It was my mother's distant relative, the three children of my cousin's family, because of a fire, the house was burned, my cousin and cousin uncle were still asleep, burned alive by the fire, there were no three children left, there was nowhere to go, so they ran to run." ”

When Aunt Hua heard this, her face suddenly changed greatly, and her eyes looked at Hua Song and Mo Feng with pity.

"Huh? What's going on? Where is your cousin from? Is there no one else in the house? ”

Hua Shi lowered his head sadly, and shook slowly and heavily, "No, there were originally seven children in the family, and now there are only these three left, and my eldest cousin's face is also burned...... Alas. ”

Speaking of this, Hua Shi left blank, sighed heavily, as if he had thought of something sad, and refused to say any more, letting Aunt Hua make up a life and death drama by herself, and her eyes became more and more compassionate.

Hua Shi didn't wait for her to say those reassuring words, and said: "I know that there is no room for outsiders in the village, and my eldest cousin has nowhere to go, so I let them all change their surnames, and they will all have the surname Hua in the future, and if they include their names in the clan genealogy, they will be regarded as their own brothers and younger brothers, and they are not considered outsiders...?" ”

When Aunt Hua heard this, she quickly nodded approvingly, and said with relief: "Of course it doesn't count, they all have the same surname, and they will be a family in the future, poor child, I look at it and I'm only in my twenties, right?" Have you married a daughter-in-law? ”

Shake your head when you spend it.

Aunt Hua's face was even more regretful, "Alas, poor man, my face is burned, I'm afraid I can't even marry my daughter-in-law......"

Hua Shi listened to her sigh and didn't say a word.

Aunt Hua asked again: "Then why are you demolishing the house here now?" Be...? ”

"There are several more people in the house, and I see that the house is dilapidated and old, and it can't accommodate so many people, so I thought about pushing the courtyard wall and rebuilding it to a bigger one, so that I can have a place to stay."

Aunt Hua nodded in agreement, and asked curiously, "Then you toss it yourself?" Do you want to call someone from the village to help? ”

Hua Shi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to refuse: "No need, just expand it casually, call someone to help, and there is no money to give to others, and it is not good to trouble others." ”

Of course, these are against the will, because the structure of the house is a bit special, and there are a lot of unsightly things hidden in the backyard......

After talking for a while, Aunt Hua got what she wanted to hear, and then turned around and left.

Hua Shi looked at her departing back, and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that after saying these words to Aunt Hua, she didn't need to do anything more, naturally someone would spread the word, and it wouldn't be long before the whole village would know......

Sure enough, as expected, in just one day, what happened in the courtyard of the Hua family spread throughout the village.

As Hua Li walked around, someone stopped him and asked him what was going on in his house.

At this point, Hua Song and the other three can be regarded as officially settled in the village, and they have a proper name, although there are still many dissenting voices, but as long as they take out that the three of them have changed their surnames, no matter what others want to say, they have to shut up in a sneering manner.

Under the orderly leadership of Hua Shi, the old wall courtyard of the Hua family courtyard was quickly demolished little by little, and in just one day, the original house was razed to the ground, leaving only a piece of ruins.

The house was built little by little under the skillful operation of the flower pine over time.

During this period, at first, there were still curious villagers, who ran over here from time to time to look, but soon, with the advent of the first harvest, the villagers were busy, and no one had time to do it, so they ran over to look at it idly.

Gradually, no one came here, and I was happy to spend my time and concentrate all my energy on building a house.

After nearly two months of non-stop busyness, the house was built little by little under the deposition of time.

When a lifelike wooden and bamboo house was rebuilt, no one in the village noticed it, but it was two or three families of Aunt Hua next door, because they were close, and they went out early and returned late, but they saw the rebuilt bamboo house.

Because she had never seen such a style of bamboo house, Aunt Hua ran over worriedly, asked her twice, and asked her to take a good look, saying that such a house is not as good as the earthen house in the village, it is easy to leak, and it can't stand being lived, I am afraid that she has been busy for so long, but the house can't live for long, and she has done so much useless work for no reason.

After coming down a few times, when I saw that I couldn't persuade the flowers, I saw that the house was built little by little, so I didn't persuade again.

The house was built as planned, and here, the shopkeeper of Guan Da also sent people a month and a half ago to collect all the fish in the backyard fish pond one after another.

At the same time as the house was completed, the fish pond was full of fish, and all the people sent by Guan Wei took them away.

"Sister, aren't all the houses built? Why do we still fence off such a large area with bamboo? ”

Hua Xiao looked at the bamboo she was holding in her hand, and curiously pointed to the large area vacated at the entrance of the courtyard.

When enclosed, this large area is more than twice as wide as the previous yard...... And it's fenced off with bamboo......

Rows and rows of bamboos are tied on the sand, and the bamboo only needs to be enclosed around the edge little by little, and the fine and dense bamboo can completely block the prying eyes of outsiders, but ......

Hua Xiao looked at the tiny bamboo in her hand, a little strange.

This bamboo does not look very strong, and it only needs to be cut with a woodcutter, and this bamboo wall is easy to be damaged by people, and it cannot prevent thieves......

"Isn't it good to fence it off?"

Hua Shi arranged the bamboo in his hand and asked casually.

"It's good, but this bamboo is not strong, and it doesn't look like it can prevent thieves......" Hua Xiao said what she felt strange in her heart.

Hua Shi looked at the green bamboos scattered all over the ground, thought for a while and said: "The bamboo house is not matched with a bamboo fence, and I always feel that something is missing." If you don't feel safe, it's good to add another earthen wall to the outside of the bamboo fence. ”

That being said, Hua Shi didn't feel that the yard would be unsafe, and he wasn't afraid that someone would be a thief breaking in.

After all, not to mention that there are several fierce pets in the yard, Mo Feng is also extraordinary...... When the thief runs in, I am afraid that there will be no return.

And Hua Shi didn't expect that his idea that he was just a fleeting moment would be confirmed so quickly......

…
