For them, life is about taking things one step at a time, eating one bite at a time, and taking it slow.

Let's get the cement sorted out first, then we can talk about everything else!

Shen Kai looked at the cement on the ground, which wasn't completely dry, and stood up.

"Since it will take two days to dry completely, I'll check again in two days."

But sister-in-law, I wonder how much cement you have left?

If you need more, could you lay it all over again right now in front of me?

That way, I can make a comparison in a couple of days.

Furthermore, since it's meant to replace glutinous rice paste, could we find some stones and use it to bind and build up a wall, like building a brick wall?

Chi Yu nodded decisively: "Okay, wait a moment!"

After saying that, Chi Yu and Chi Qiao left the house; one went into the main room, and the other went out to collect stones.

When they returned to the west wing room, the three men in charge of the Chi family were all gathered there.

Chi Erxiong and Chi Sanbao asked Chi Dahu, "Brother, is this thing on the ground what Xiaoyu has been making all these days?"

"Yes! Little Fish knows you're worried about rebuilding your houses, so she wants to help you all."

She said the thing laid on the ground was called cement.

With this, rebuilding houses will be much easier for our clansmen.

Upon hearing this, Chi Sanbao said with concern, "This girl is really something, always worrying about this and that."

Chi Erxiong sighed, "Big brother, third brother, to be honest, none of Aye, Aqing and Aping are as good as their little aunt."

It is our blessing that the little fish was born into our family, and it is also a blessing for our Chi clan!

Thinking of his sister's biggest secret, Chi Dahu hummed in agreement.

Shen Kai, who had been silent to the side, watched the three Chi brothers gathered around, talking amongst themselves, and felt a lot of emotions.

It seems that his sister-in-law created this thing called cement originally for the benefit of the people of Chijia'ao.

It was only after I finished making it that I thought I could use it elsewhere, so I told him about it.

This girl is really smart!

Before, she was illiterate, but after marrying Qi Mingyu, she not only learned to read in just two years, but also did many things that made people look at her in a new light.

No wonder there will be special opportunities.

Even if a special opportunity were presented to an ordinary person like him, he might not know how to seize it!

Chi Qiao, standing outside the door, loved hearing people praise her younger sister for being clever.

So after listening at the door for a while, seeing that my younger sister was embarrassed and uncomfortable, I reached out and knocked on the door a few times.

After everyone looked over, she unloaded the basket containing the stones.

Chi Yu was also carrying a basket of gray clumps.

Chi Dahu, who was inside the house, immediately understood what this meant and quickly took the basket from his sister's hands.

"Big brother, Ah Kai wants to see the effect of the cement. Second brother and third brother are here too, you can witness it together."

Once things are settled here, I'll come back in two or three days to check on the results.

If there are no problems, my sister-in-law and I will have to go down the mountain with Ah Kai.

Chi Erxiong hurriedly said, "Little Fish, we don't know how things are down the mountain now."

If you don't want your sister-in-law to go, then you shouldn't go.

"This trip up and down the mountain is too tiring; you didn't look too good when you came back last time."

Chi Qiao also wanted to take this opportunity to stay in the city for a while and then buy some land for her younger sister.

Once the situation outside isn't so dire, I'll take my sister to the prefectural city and prepare a different dowry for her. There's no way I'll let her stay here.
