Chapter 391 Work Begins
The east and west wing rooms were both very large, with three rooms. Behind the two wing rooms were two small courtyards. Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan lived in one of them. Shao Yunduan had to review his lessons, so he chose a quieter place.
Shao Dalang, Shao Sanlang, and Shao Xiaoqi each lived in a courtyard. Shao Taotao lived in the main house with Fang and her family.
On the day when the construction team started working enthusiastically according to the drawings given by the eldest brother, most of the villagers came to watch the fun.
No one from the second and third wives showed up. It was obvious that they were still angry.
Fang and others acted as if nothing had happened and continued to do whatever they were supposed to do, unaffected at all.
As for what the affected Uncle Shao thinks, they have no right to care.
While they were busy here, Qiao Xuan, Xiao Qi and others went into the mountain again.
Qiao Xuan has always been thinking about Huang Jinya and Zi Xin. Last time, she brought back a lot of tea seeds for seeds, but it was not enough, and many tea seeds were not mature. Now that several days have passed, she can go again.
We went into the mountains for five days in a row. On the first day, we picked tea seeds, and then we searched for and picked Ficus pumila fruits. We also picked mushrooms.
The room in the yard they were staying in now was compact and just enough, but the yard was not small, so there was no problem drying these things there.
The seeds and various mushrooms of the ficus carica fruit were taken out and placed in a large bamboo winnowing basket to dry in the sun.
In addition to these two things, we also dug forty or fifty kilograms of lilies and picked a lot of red dates.
There are still many persimmons and wild chestnuts in the mountains, but they are not yet ripe, so you need to wait a little longer before you can get these delicious fruits.
After being busy for a few days, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went to Zhangjia Village again.
The land reclamation work in Zhangjia Village has been completed for the most part. The two went to the fields to take a look and were quite satisfied with the results.
This is for planting tea trees, not crops, so as long as all the tree stumps, big and small, are dug out, it doesn't matter if the weeds are not completely removed.
In the first two years after planting, you will definitely need to spend a lot of time weeding, but things will be fine afterwards.
When the house is built, the land reclamation here will be finished. Then it will be a good time to build the house and yard here.
The speed of building a house is very fast. After the foundation is laid, brickwork begins. It is much faster and more convenient than rammed earth. A house can be built in about four days.
Fang was so happy when she saw with her own eyes the tall, imposing and spacious main house being built.
The main house is the largest. Once the main house is built, it will be easier to build the other houses.
After all the houses were built, the whole large yard was built, and then the small yards were divided, utility rooms were built, sheds for raising chickens and ducks were built, floor tiles were laid, and drinking pools were built.
At this rate, the project can be completed in more than a month.
Then it will be carpentry work, installing doors and windows, and making furniture.
We will definitely be able to move in before the Chinese New Year.
Although the second and third wives were jealous and angry, they never visited the first wife again after being driven away by Fang that day. However, they had been secretly paying attention to the progress of the first wife's new house.
Seeing the completion of the grand main house, Niu felt particularly sad.
So he said to Uncle Shao: "Let's build a new house! It would be so embarrassing for Silang to get married without a new house!"
Uncle Shao was also holding his breath, and he said, "Okay, let's build a house on the vacant land! Humph, we can still afford to build a new house without relying on them!"
“That’s right!”
Only then did Mrs. Niu feel relieved.
Her family is also going to build a new house!
