Feng Ran spoke with a strong and forceful tone, without any smile, maintaining a serious demeanor.

Let others know that what I said was not a joke.

After everyone confirmed that everything was alright, Fengran asked them to tidy up the kitchen so that the two families could squeeze in first.

Their own house and their residence, one in the north and one in the south. Feng Ran deliberately kept them far apart.

"Put your things away first. Then the girls can come out and cook. Let's all eat well today."

The men lit torches themselves and began felling trees from behind and beside the house.

The sooner the house is built, the better.

"Okay!" Wang Xiaosi said excitedly.

"Mom, you watch the children. I'll do the work," Wang Lanying said to her mother. Having just arrived, she didn't want Feng Ran and the others to think she was a burden.

"You hold him. I'll do it."

"mom."

"Listen to me, you're not as fast as me."

"Hmm..." Wang Lanying knew that she wasn't as good at cooking as her mother. So she picked up the child and prepared to sit by the stove to help with the fire.

"Sister Wang, right?"

Feng Ran then looked at Wang Lanying.

Yes, yes.

"Here you are. A housewarming gift."

"This is too valuable!"

"Take it. Work hard from now on."

"Yes! I will. My whole family will."

Wang Lan nodded.

Looking at the three cans of milk powder that Feng Ran had given her in the sack, Wang Lanying almost burst into tears.

"Okay. I'll just make dinner tonight. You can take care of the kids and play. We don't need so many people to make dinner."

"I helped start the fire."

"No need. The child is too young. You should go and rest. There'll be plenty of work to do later."

Okay. I understand. Thank you.

"Um."

Feng Ran handed a bag of rice and some radishes, potatoes, cabbage, corn, celery, pork, and pork bones to Wang Nana.

"Nana, you make it as you see fit, make sure it's all done, there are a lot of people. Don't make sure there isn't enough to eat."

"You cooked half a bag of rice!?"

"If there's too much, cook half of it. Cook all the vegetables. Make soup with bones and radishes. Use my commercial-grade pot."

"good."

The men's eyes burned with uncontrollable desire as they looked at the meat and vegetables.

Three hours later, the men had cut down more than a dozen large trees. They had trimmed off a lot of branches and piled them up to make a fire.

Several bowls of food were piled high. Everyone ate their fill. Now the Gu family could finally relax.

"At night, Brother Gu will take the first half of the night watch, and Zhang Yi will take the second half. From now on, we'll take turns every night watch, one half and one half. The men will take turns. This is the shift schedule."

Jixiang and Liluo haven't left the space yet. Fengran plans to let them out after a while.

The following day, construction continued.

They were digging foundations and driving piles, working with great enthusiasm.

There were eight men in total, and they worked quickly.

The wooden house was built in three days.

The Wang family built five rooms. The Gu family built two rooms, side by side, connected together.

The rooms are not very big, about ten square meters each.

Feng Ran instructed the group to build a fence after they finished constructing the structure.

This stumped everyone. The wooden fence was practically useless.

"San San, if I remember correctly, you know how to smelt iron and forge it, right?"

"This is simple and stable. Just melt the iron and then rebuild the model."

"What about the iron fence?"

“Sure. We can mass-produce fences by laying sand on the ground and then drawing out fence patterns. Or we can directly cast them into wire and iron bars. Brother Gu is strong, so combining them with wood will make a sturdy fence no problem.”

"Very good. You can continue cutting down trees tomorrow."

"Qi Xie, you and Bai Lian go down the mountain to find scrap metal."

“I know where to find scrap metal,” Wang Xiaosi said from the side.

"where?"

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that complicated. There used to be plastic-making machines and a lot of greenhouse materials at the base. They should all be discarded now. There are also a lot of iron products."

"Then Qi Xie, you and Bai Lian should go there."

"OK."

The two returned with a plastic-making machine and many iron products, including farm tools.

And the frames of many greenhouses. I really love this wind-dyed fabric.

The fence was finally completed two weeks later.

Every few meters, there are thick wooden logs driven into the ground, which are very sturdy.

The outside was also covered with thorns.

It is a full three meters tall.

Next, a six-meter-high platform will be built in the very center. This will be used by people to keep watch at night or during the day.

This was built directly with wooden piles, with a roof added for sun protection.

There are telescopes in the Wind-Stained Space, and now they come in handy.

The next step is to plow and cultivate the land.

The gravelly ground is ready to be planted with pumpkins and winter melons.

The group had just finished turning the soil when, good heavens, a sudden heavy snowfall lowered the temperature by tens of degrees!

"It's snowing!" Wang Xiaosi screamed outside. When everyone came out, they saw huge snowflakes falling directly down.

It was 3:30 AM. If Wang Xiaosi hadn't been on night watch, no one would have known. They might have frozen to death!

The temperature suddenly dropped to extremely low.

I took out the space thermometer and checked the temperature; it was already below minus thirty degrees Celsius!

Moreover, it felt like the air was becoming less stable; the temperature had dropped several degrees in just a few minutes while I was putting on my clothes.

There was no other way, so I took some cotton-padded coats and quilts from my spatial storage and gave them to the others. I also gave some to the Gu family and the Wang family.

Then everyone was told to take a stainless steel plate inside and start a fire.

"I'll go gather all the firewood, otherwise it'll get wet from the snow and we won't be able to start a fire!" Gu Zhou said, getting up to leave.

"I'll get you a waterproof sheet, and you can drag all the branches under the eaves and pile them up."
