Although Qiao Qingqing had an idea in mind, it would take time to implement the plan, so she was not in a hurry for the time being. Anyway, as long as she could get it done before the New Year, it would be fine.

The fact that Liu Mei was hiding in Zhou's house also had a great impact on the educated youth, alerting them and prompting them to take some actions.

——Before, Zhao Yong, Xu Yusheng, Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang had all lived in the houses they bought for a period of time.

But if you live alone, you have to fetch water, boil the pot, and cook by yourself, and you can't sleep well at night. This is especially true for Zhou Lanfang, who bought the Zhou family's house. She remembered that Feng Guiying was put in a sack in the middle of the night.

Yao Xiaoman has loved daydreaming since she was a child. As soon as autumn comes, the wind becomes stronger at night.

At night, the leaves outside were rustling in the wind, but she always felt that some bad guys had sneaked into the yard, and she couldn't sleep well all night.

Gradually, the four of them found that this was far less convenient and comfortable than living in the educated youth camp.

So, taking advantage of a meeting and chatting opportunity, everyone decided to move back to the educated youth site and move out if the site was no longer able to accommodate the next batch of educated youth.

This also has an advantage, it can save time and energy on cooking during the busy farming season.

Who would have thought that this would give Liu Mei an opportunity?

In order to prevent similar situations from happening again, the four of them came up with a compromise solution: everyone would still eat at the educated youth site and stay in their own house.

However, the two female comrades, Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang, decided to take out money to raise the wall of the courtyard. They would first raise the wall of the house purchased by Yao Xiaoman. The two of them would temporarily live in the house purchased by Zhou Lanfang. Later, when the wall of Zhou's house was raised, they would live together in the house with the raised wall.

When the two walls are raised, they will be able to live in their respective houses with peace of mind, and thus have a peaceful New Year.

With the example of Zhou Hongjun and others in front of him, the team leader could understand the concerns of the two female educated youth, so he gathered his relatives and friends to help them build the wall of the courtyard. However, the team leader was also a good person, so he only provided them with meals and did not ask for any money.

After all, to raise the courtyard wall, they had to first make bricks from clay. If Yao Xiaoman and the others could provide the bricks themselves, then they only had to stack the bricks. This was a painless job, and they wouldn't even have to worry about meals.

At this time, at Qiao Qingqing's home.

"In that case, why don't you just use my bricks? Why bother with that?"

Qiao Qingqing pointed at the pile of earthen bricks in the corner, not feeling sorry at all that she had bought them with her own money.

Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang looked at each other and smiled sheepishly.

"Isn't this a bad idea? The captain and his men have worked so hard to help us. If we say we have bricks now, won't people think we are stingy and don't even care about our meals?"

Yao Xiaoman is straightforward and not ignorant of human nature, otherwise she would not have said to give the money to Qiao Qingqing as food expenses.

She still cared about the opinions of the villagers, especially the team leader, and did not want to leave a bad impression on the villagers.

That's why the two of them came to Qiao Qingqing to talk about this.

They have a good relationship with Sister Qingqing. If they must owe her a favor, they might as well continue to owe Sister Qingqing.

It's easy to repay a favor you owe to one person, but I don't know how to repay a favor you owe to many people.

"What's the big deal? You can use the adobe bricks. It will save them the trouble of removing the adobe bricks and improve efficiency. Otherwise, the adobe bricks need to be dried for a while, which will take until the end of the year. I have no use for the bricks here. I originally planned to raise pigs, but now I'm pregnant. How can I have the energy? If I don't raise pigs, there's no need to build a pigpen."

Qiao Qingqing was so smart, she knew that the things she said were actually understood by both of them, otherwise they wouldn't have come!

But she was willing to give them this way out.

Who made these two little girls call each other older sister, or is it because the baby in her belly is the godmother?
