When new people move into a village, it naturally sparks curiosity, as the villagers have rarely had contact with the outside world. A foreigner's first reaction is to observe.

They had heard the village chief say that the people who moved into their village were from the military, and when the man arrived, he did indeed look like a soldier.

But I didn't see him yesterday.

Today they were still discussing how a heavily pregnant woman with three young children could survive in this cold weather without even a house.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning, the village, which had been quiet for decades or even centuries, suddenly became lively.

Various vehicles and crowds kept passing by on the street, all heading towards the top of the mountain.

Their destination was the same place that had just opened yesterday.

Moreover, in just two days, a brand-new wooden house appeared on what was originally a flat ground.

All those coming and going were soldiers in military uniforms, and truckloads of timber were being delivered here.

Anyone could tell that this family that moved in was no ordinary family.

Lin Ying hadn't expected so many people to come. The next morning, after waking up, she initially planned to bring water to her house first.

Yesterday she had considered a problem: although the villagers all drink this water, the hot spring water has a lot of minerals and is too hard to be suitable for drinking.

So early this morning, Lin Ying took the test kit to test the water, and as she expected, the water met the standards for drinking. However, it was not safe for children.

Drinking too much mineral-rich water is not a good thing. Therefore, Lin Ying has specifically emphasized to the children that they should not drink unboiled water. Of course, this is based on the results of Lin Ying's tests after boiling the water.

Lin Ying had just finished telling the children about it when she saw Wang Shan leading his troops towards them. Sure enough, Wang Shan wasn't too surprised to see Lin Ying's tent; instead, he greeted her with a smile.

"Comrade Lin Ying, we heard from Zhang Shanlin yesterday that the conditions here are too poor, so we reported to our superiors today and brought people here to build a house for you first!"

Lin Ying looked at Wang Shan in disbelief: "This, how can I accept this?"

Wang Shan waved his hand, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're only bringing along our comrades who are resting today, so it won't interfere with our business. Besides, others may not know, but I do. If it weren't for you, wouldn't everyone in the army be freezing? Now, the army has cultivated its own farmland and even planted medicinal herbs. We can even take a hot bath on a freezing day, all thanks to you!"

Ask everyone, didn't their hands and feet get frostbite this year? Did they all come voluntarily?

Almost as soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, his men shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Some people even showed their hands directly: "Sister-in-law, look, I still have frostbite scars from two years ago on my hands. People say that once your hands are frostbitten, it will leave lasting health problems. But I haven't had any frostbite last year or this year!"

"Yes, mine too. In the past two years, we finally don't have to lie in bed every night with itchy hands and feet, unable to fall asleep no matter what."

"Not only my hands and feet, but also my ears and face haven't been frostbitten this year."

"Yes, my butt was frozen before."

"Hahaha!"

Lin Ying was happy to see them like this: "In that case, I'll trouble you. To be honest, I really needed to find someone to help me. You've been a great help to me."

Everyone was happy to hear Lin Ying say that: "Then we've come at just the right time."

"Hey girl, come on, tell me your plan for building it. I mean, since you're not feeling well right now, it'd be best if we figured it out together right away. Don't worry, Old Zhang has taken some men to the forest farm. They'll get you a truckload of timber no matter what!"

Lin Ying agreed with Wang Shan's point and, without further ado, they began to discuss how to plan.

“The soil here is quite soft, and I’m worried that rainwater will wash away the foundation, so the foundation has to be made of stones.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Shan thought it wouldn't be difficult: "That's easy, Dongzi!"

"arrive!"

"Go ask the village chief where the nearest stone mountain with a good road is. Once you've found it, come back and take some people to collect stones!"

"yes!"

They came with their own tools, but no means of transportation.

Just as Lin Ying was considering whether to take the trolley out, Wang Shan said, "Let them figure it out themselves."

Lin Ying then stopped asking about it.

Instead, they started drawing the location of the foundation with Wang Shan.

Since she wanted to do it all at once, Lin Ying decided to build six rooms this time.

When children grow up, they all need their own little space.

In addition, given the differences between men and women, it would be better to gradually separate them. Now that the house is built, Lin Ying plans not to renovate it for at least ten years.

As for the interior decoration of the house, Lin Ying plans to do it herself. Of course, the main reason is that there are some things that cannot be made public.

The house was built at the very back, and the kitchen was at the far west.

Entering through the main door of the room, there is a long corridor. This is a facade specially made by Lin Ying. Since there aren't enough facilities now, they'll lay down straw mats; when they have the resources, they'll build a PVC-U steel structure.

In this way, we only need to hang the straw mats every year, and we won't have to build the frame every time.

The corridor inside is two meters wide, which is very spacious.

The room directly opposite the main entrance is the living room. To the right of the living room, at the easternmost end, is her bedroom. Opposite her bedroom is Er Ya's bedroom. Of course, their bedroom doors open from the outside; they don't open from the living room.

After that, there's Shuanzi, Haoyu, and the baby in her belly. The kitchen is in the west corridor. That way, no matter how cold the weather is, they won't have to move to a different place to cook.

For convenience, a small door was also opened at that location. It makes it easier to get in and out during winter.

Everyone says you should do things right the first time, so Wang Shan didn't think Lin Ying's request was excessive. He also knew that the child Lin Ying had adopted was not related to her by blood, and since Lin Ying was willing to move here for the child, she wouldn't specifically prepare a room for the child and isolate him.

Wang Shan's ideological awareness was naturally very high to be able to serve as a political commissar.

Just as the two were discussing it, Zhang Shanlin arrived.

"The timber from the forest farm will be delivered soon. Comrade Lin Ying, do you think we should move these things to another location for now?"

Lin Ying looked around and then said, "Let's put it in this area in front. All the things in the house are in there."

Zhang Shanlin glanced at it and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for you to move there."

After a flurry of activity, the entire yard was tidied up.

According to the layout of their yard, Lin Ying's house will only occupy one plot of land. But they have a total of four plots.

Lin Ying's tent and all her belongings now take up space, leaving room for building materials.

The problem is that storing building materials is easy, but the key is finding a way for the vehicles to get out after they come in.
