Chapter 141 Reward for the Beam

Chu Xue had no idea that someone was already targeting her, and she was still thinking about finding an opportunity to repay the favor she was owed. After all, she was the person who least wanted to owe favors to others.

The people Uncle Liangzi found were very capable. Within a few days, the wall of the main house was built. On the day of raising the beam, the old branch secretary came to preside over the ceremony, and the Liushan beam was also carried up by the strong man Chuxue by stepping on the planks.

Chuxue was right beside him, helping him complete the procedures that the breadwinner of the family should do. As soon as the firecrackers went off, Liu Shanliang, with a smile on his face, threw down the thumb-sized steamed buns, candies, and coins that he had made at home, which attracted a scramble from the villagers who had come to watch.

After coming down from Liushanliang, he was surrounded by the villagers and congratulated. He felt a little dizzy. This scene was really unreal.

He felt that since his leg injury, it was a blessing in disguise. Good things happened one after another. He could live in such a nice brick house, which was something he would never have dared to think about before.

Chuxue had someone build a simple stove not far from the new house yesterday. Early in the morning, he borrowed a bicycle from the village chief, made a trip to the North Suburb Farm Reservoir, and collected a batch of fish, shrimps, and crabs into the space.

After the beam-raising ceremony was completed, the aunts and sisters who came to help started to get busy.

Chu Xue saw that many people came to help. After sending Liu's father home, she took a backpack and went up the mountain. She used the water in the space pond as bait and dug a rabbit nest. She sent the four youngest sons directly into the space and used her mind to set them up so that they could only move on the mountain.

I originally wanted to see if I could catch a pheasant or something, but unfortunately I couldn't find any.

Seeing that it was getting late, we had to hurry down the mountain. After all, we couldn’t delay the lunch that would reward everyone.

When the aunt who was helping saw the fish, she thought that Liu's mother and wife were generous. Unexpectedly, just after they cleaned up the fish, Chuxue came back with two fat rabbits. The people working on the roof became more motivated.

Uncle Liangzi also shouted loudly: "The host has invested a lot of money today, everyone must work harder."

A group of men responded with smiles and worked enthusiastically.

After the ingredients were prepared, Chuxue cooked the dishes by himself. When no one was paying attention, he added a little bit of space pond water. Because it was a big pot dish, it only served to enhance the flavor, which was enough.

Before the food was even out of the pot, the people working there kept looking towards the big stove with envy.

As soon as the steamed buns made of two-grain flour came out of the pot, Cuihong, who came to help, called out, "It's time to eat."

Chunxiao, who had just returned from school, was very considerate and brought a basin of water over: "Uncles and brothers, come over here and wash your hands."

Everyone was already very hungry, so they washed their hands obediently and quickly took the big bowls they brought with them to get the food.

Each person had two spoonfuls of stewed fish cubes, one spoonful of stewed rabbit meat with dried radish, and five steamed buns made of two grams of flour. The aroma of the food made everyone feel dizzy.

Some people are reluctant to enjoy the meal alone, so they rush home with the dishes and steamed buns in their arms, just to let their family members have a taste too.

Some could not resist the temptation and tasted it first, leaving a few bites for their wives and children. Of course, there were also some who enjoyed it alone without any care. In a word, everyone was very satisfied with the dinner today.

After the main house's beams are put up, Chuxue will run up the mountain when he is not in a hurry.

One is to find trees suitable for making roof beams so that they can be returned to the village as soon as possible, and the other is to see if we can find some special species to enrich the space.

Just today, we found wild pear trees, hawthorn trees, apricot trees, and two pepper trees. We moved them all into the space. When we were preparing to return, we also found two small beehives. This made Chuxue very happy.
