Chapter 295 Construction Begins



Wu Feng, along with his wife, children, and sister-in-law's family, knelt down before the entire village, sincerely thanking all the villagers for staying up all night to help them find their child.

Cui Fangzheng and Hu Dazhuang will take care of some of the finishing matters, so Xiao Yunfei doesn't plan to worry about them.

After struggling for so long, he was a little tired.

The first thing he did when he came back was to find Su Miaomiao and the others.

After they met, he took his little son, who had just been awakened by the crying of Chu Xiangxiang and the others and was rubbing his eyes in a daze, from Su Miaomiao's arms and said to Su Miaomiao.

"Wife, let's go home too."

While Wu Feng and the others were busy expressing their gratitude to everyone, Xiao Yunfei's family informed Wu Feng and quietly left.

We stayed up too late and the whole family was exhausted.

Zhang Xing and Su Miaomiao chatted with Xiao Yunfei for a few minutes while riding on the bus home to understand the situation. After returning home, they hurried back to their room to rest.

Su Miaomiao was worried all night, but when she saw Xiao Yunfei coming back safely, she finally felt relieved.

She lay on the kang and fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

"Ring, ring, ring, ring—"

The next morning, Su Miaomiao was woken up by the alarm clock.

She bought the alarm clock at the system supermarket a few days ago because she was afraid of oversleeping.

At this time, she sat up from the kang, feeling extremely irritated.

"Why does it feel like the alarm clock went off just as I closed my eyes? I'm so sleepy."

She got up from the kang lazily and said to the children who were also woken up by the alarm clock.

"Mom's going to cook. You guys can sleep a little longer. If you think about it again in half an hour, you can get up."

Even though she was feeling uncomfortable because she hadn't gotten enough rest, she still spoke to the child in a gentle manner with a smile on her face.

To be honest, she was sometimes surprised at how she looked like this.

She was probably getting used to being a mother and her maternal love was overflowing.

She had just come out of the house when she bumped into Xiao Yunfei who was coming in with some dry grass in his arms.

The grass that had been piled up in the corner of the yard some time ago had dried up. These days they used the dry grass as firewood to start a fire every day, and then burned some branches, and a meal was ready.

As soon as Xiao Yunfei saw her, he smiled dotingly and said with heartache.

"I'll make breakfast, you go back and sleep for a while."

"No, I'll cook with you, and after dinner I'll take the kids to train with the people from our village."

"Okay, it just so happens that you've become much stronger these days, so you can train with the men in the village. I'll give you and your child some special training based on your situation and teach you some self-defense skills."

"good!"

The two of them made the decision happily.

After Su Miaomiao finished washing up, she officially started to get busy preparing breakfast.

Zhang Xing and the children got up one after another, finished their own work, and then helped with housework.

Su Miaomiao found that this family was very hardworking and had a clear vision for work. They would find work to do on their own without any instructions.

Today's breakfast is simple, thick millet porridge with pickles, and a small bowl of egg custard for each person, with exactly two shrimps in each bowl.

Everyone didn't get enough rest last night, so they were all in a bad mood during the meal.

After dinner, Xiao Yunfei went to the open space in front of his house and waited.

Today is the first day of military training in the village. Many rules must be established today so that things will be much easier later.

Su Miaomiao went there when it was almost time.

When she got there, only a small number of people had arrived, and at least half of the people who were supposed to come for training had not shown up.

And looking at the state of those who have already arrived, you can tell that everyone is very reluctant to spend time training.

Short-sighted people do feel that becoming strong is of little use.

She can understand everyone's feelings.

It will be very difficult for Xiao Yunfei to change everyone's state from slackness and resistance to active participation.

As a wife, she couldn't help but worry about Xiao Yunfei.

Not far away, after Zhang Xing sent Su Miaomiao and the others away, he stood in the yard and looked up at the sky.

I feel the weather is pretty good, suitable for drying medicine.

So he went back to the house, took the medicine to the yard to dry, and then went back to the house leisurely to catch up on his sleep.

On Xiao Yunfei's side, Cui Fangzheng saw that the agreed time was approaching, but nearly half of the people had not arrived yet.

“Why are there so few people?”

He was anxious and angry at once, and waved his hand to call Kong Wu over.

"Kong Wu, go and ring the gong now to call over those who haven't come yet. Tell them to stop wasting time and come quickly!"

Then Cui Fangzheng moved closer to Xiao Yunfei again, and taking into account Xiao Yunfei's feelings, he found a reason to speak.

"I probably didn't get enough rest last night because I was looking for the kids. I was too tired and overslept."

"Yeah, it's okay."

At Kong Wu's call, the men in the village came over one after another.

By the time everyone gathered and stood in neat rows, it was already two quarters of an hour past the agreed time.

Xiao Yunfei stood at the front of the team and spoke to everyone.

"Today is the first day, and last night was special, so no one slept well. I won't punish those who are late today, but starting from tomorrow, if you are late by a quarter of an hour, you will have to practice an extra half hour. If you are late by less than a quarter of an hour, it will be counted as a quarter of an hour. If you are late by more than a quarter of an hour, you will have to practice an extra hour. If you are late by more than two quarters of an hour, you will have to practice an extra hour and a half, and so on..."

Xiao Yunfei informed everyone of the rules he had set one by one, even down to the details of where everyone would stand tomorrow.

After finishing the work, he led everyone in training for a while, and when the time was up, he let everyone go.

Before disbanding the team, he asked who could build a wall, then selected 20 people from those who raised their hands, and another 10 people to dig the foundation of the new house.

"According to our previous agreement, all 30 of you will help my family with 15 days of work starting today. Is that a problem?"

The 30 people who were chosen all shook their heads and said, "No problem."

This was indeed what we had agreed upon before. It would be inhumane of them to deny it.

After all, if Xiao Yunfei hadn't helped them, they would still be busy clearing the land and would have no chance to do anything else.

They didn't think of shirking their duties, but they did have their own concerns.

During this period, the whole village is busy collecting mountain products to make money. What if they miss this period and the mountain products are collected by others? Will they still be able to make money then?

This is a full 15 days, so how much less money do they earn than others?

After the team disbanded, Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao took the 30 selected people back home.

Before starting work, Xiao Yunfei asked Su Miaomiao to write down the names of these 30 people so that he would remember them later.

After remembering the names, Xiao Yunfei took everyone to work.

Su Miaomiao has collected sand, cement, and other tools needed for work during this period. They are all modern tools and are very easy to use.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the brand new tools and hollow bricks.

"What are these things? Why have we never seen them before?"
