Chapter 176: Ground Subsidence

In the early morning, the Sikanzi Brigade

The work bell just rang

The villagers went out to work one after another.

While waiting in line to receive farm tools at the farm tool warehouse of the brigade, people who knew each other naturally gathered together to chat.

"It's sunny today, it's still early in the morning!"

In just a short while, without even doing anything, my sweat shirt was soaked.

"In this horrible weather, I'm going to get a tan when I go to work."

The person who was speaking took off the straw hat on his head and fanned it. There was not a trace of coolness in the scorching air; the wind he fanned out was hot.

"It wasn't this hot even at noon yesterday! No, let's talk to Secretary Li and start work at 3 or 4 pm when it's cooler. This heat is enough to kill people!"

"Looking at this trend, 3 or 4 o'clock will be too late. I would say don't go to work today and just take a day off!"

The old farmer looked up at the sky, then squatted down to study something with a frown on his face.

He muttered, "This sun is kind of evil, is it going to cause some weird things?"

That ghost thing is called Hanba. It is said that once it appears in the world, there will be drought.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is always a good idea to make preparations early. I have to talk to Secretary Li about this later.

"Shh... don't say that!"

Although these two guys are not so strict about superstition, we still have to be careful. After all, even if we are from the same village, not every family can live in harmony.

"Hey, let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this. By the way, I heard that your family is going to build a new house? Is it true?"

As he was talking, the topic changed.

"What a coincidence. I was just planning to look for you. Now that the children have grown up, the house is not big enough for them, so I thought of building two mud houses. We have almost gathered the materials. When we build the houses, come and help me."

The people in this village build houses in a simple way.

The yellow mud blocks used to build the house were made by the man of the house and his children in the morning and evening when they were not working. They used yellow mud, clay and straw to make the blocks.

If you apply to the village for the wood for the beam, you can go to the mountains and cut a few pieces.

Once all the materials are prepared, the young and old men who are familiar with the village will come over to help. They will only be given a meal and no payment. When other families need help, they will naturally go to help.

Therefore, ordinary villagers who cannot afford to build brick and tile houses can just build two yellow mud houses, which does not cost much money.

"Brother Wang, we need help to build the house. Does the lunch have to include meat? Are you still in need of help? My mother-in-law and I are both free. If there is meat, we can go and help you!"

Huang Ailan was cracking melon seeds and twisting her waist, with Li Jianguo's mother following behind her.

Jianguo's mother was holding a small wicker basket in her hand, which was filled with melon seeds, dates, walnuts and other snacks, all of which were prepared for her daughter-in-law.

Huang Ailan was eating with relish, her teeth showing when she smiled.

My daughter-in-law is pregnant again. Her belly is pointed, so it must be a boy. We can't have any bumps or bumps.

"Don't do that. You are a rich man now. Building a house is rough work. We can't afford to pay for any damages!"

The one who was speaking was Lao Wang's wife. She was not afraid of someone as thick-skinned and self-aware as Huang Ailan, and Lao Wang, a man, didn't bother to argue with her.

"It's okay. I'm pregnant. I still have my mother-in-law and my brother's wife, right? Mom?"

Although it was not related to laziness, Jianguo's mother still nodded in order to let her daughter-in-law feed two more people.

The main character is thick-skinned and shameless.

"Can your sister-in-law come?"

Lao Wang's wife neither believed nor cared.

Huang Ailan’s sister-in-law came from their village. She was Ai Di, the educated youth in the village, and Ai Zhiqing.

For a while, I don't know why she and Huang Ailan were together every day, just like two real sisters. Suddenly one day, I don't know what happened, they broke up, and then it was rumored that Aidi was dating Huang Ailan's younger brother Huang Aihua.

It is said that even the haystacks were rolled over.

The rumors became more and more unpalatable, and before long, the two got married.
