"We can go to the county town tomorrow."
Today, the Qiao family is a bit nervous. Adding to the delay caused by the road inspection, fourteen days have passed. If the work cannot be completed today, it must be completed by tomorrow at the latest, so that they don't have to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
Zhao Lizheng has already taken people to check. The Ning County government has only sent out about thirty laborers, and they are not in a hurry to make progress. So the focus is on Datian Village. They need to step up their efforts here.
I originally thought that with so many people in Datian Village, it would only take about half a month, maybe ten days, to finish. But the other end of the road is not working properly, so it will be delayed by three days. It is expected to be completed today or tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the last day. No matter how late it is, the Qiao family has to rush to the county town to pay the remaining balance.
If we delay for another day, it will be difficult to explain to the material supplier and the construction team.
So when the villagers said the project was finished, the Qiao family breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful! These past few days I've been so anxious, afraid we wouldn't make it in time," Grandma Qiao murmured.
Everyone has been anxious lately, but no one has shown it, for fear of affecting their families.
Now everyone was bursting to speak out.
Ms. Wan: "Yes, what if we lose everything? All our efforts over this period of time will be wasted. I've even had a few nightmares about it."
Qiao Lao Er: "I can't even have nightmares because I can't fall asleep at all."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, laughing in a relaxed way.
Qiao Lian'er said, "We won't be setting up a stall tomorrow. We need to transport materials, settle the construction team, and there's a lot to do. The whole family will be busy."
Moreover, almost a month has passed, and she needs to hear the winds of change.
Now that the autumn harvest has begun, she is worried that something might happen.
"Alright, let's get these arrangements settled first," said Old Qiao.
“Yes, those restaurants and eateries should stock up on ingredients; they can still sell those ingredients,” Qiao Lian’er said.
In fact, they make a lot of money just from selling ingredients.
Da Yong, who had been hesitant to speak, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words, because Ling Yin was making kimchi at home and was waiting to sell it at their stall.
The Qiao family felt a surge of excitement at the thought of starting to build their house tomorrow.
A large courtyard, a main hall, spacious rooms, a kitchen, a woodshed, a warehouse—according to Lian'er's plan, a covered walkway to shelter from the rain will also be built, along with two pavilions in the courtyard.
It sounds wonderful.
Qiao Lian'er also completed the house's planning drawings. She didn't understand the detailed architectural structure; she just wanted a general outline and a certain appearance.
Leave it to the foreman; he'll know what to do.
The next morning, half of the Qiao family stayed at home, while the other half went to the city.
At home, clean up the large area of land facing north and east of the house.
There were many weeds growing there, and many stones piled up.
Not only are houses being built, but the construction team will also be setting up tents to live in.
We also need to build a large brick stove, and there will be someone specifically to cook meals for the construction team.
Qiao Lian'er was driving the carriage halfway when she saw several children coming towards her, but they were not A Da and his friends.
She immediately stopped the carriage: "Where are you going?"
When the children saw her, their eyes lit up, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"We haven't seen Sister Lian'er for a month, and we heard that your village suffers from severe flooding every year when it rains heavily. We were worried about your family. Now that the road is open, we plan to visit your village."
