Chapter 272 A Great Help
Old Qin knew about Shen Qingqian and the others' tinkering with the brick kiln, but he didn't expect that they would have the courage to rebuild the house at this time.
"This is also a helpless move. My mother and the others are afraid that this winter will be too cold. If we only carry out repairs, I am afraid it will not be enough to survive the winter." Shen Xiao explained.
The best time to build a house is after the spring, especially in the north. Winter is too cold and a lot of the ground is frozen, making it unsuitable to start construction in winter.
However, Shen Xiao and his family's house was rebuilt on the original foundation, which was relatively easier.
Chen Er also scratched his head and said, "Master, our family also needs to rebuild the house. I was just about to mention it to you."
To build a house, he would study with Master Qin during the day, work at the Military Equipment Bureau, and help out at home at night. This was the current rule among their group - no one could be idle.
"You don't all have to rebuild your house, do you?" Old Qin asked suspiciously.
Shen Xiao and Chen Er nodded in unison, "Yes!"
Everyone is working together now, and the brick kiln is being built together. The most important materials have been obtained, so naturally no one would be stupid enough to want to live in the previous house.
Old Qin frowned in thought.
This apprentice is somewhat clever and has a little talent, but he has not yet discovered any great talents.
But who made him accept a disciple? Now that he knows about it, he can't just not show some expression.
"Let's put it this way. Renovating the house is a big deal. I can't help with anything else, but I can buy you some time." Old Qin pondered.
Considering the importance he holds in Liang Cheng's heart, it should not be a problem for him to get these people a half-month or a month's vacation. Of course, the premise is that they do not delay the things originally arranged for them.
For example, those who are reclaiming wasteland must complete the reclaiming of the allocated wasteland within the specified time, and those who are assigned to mines must make up for the missed land later.
"Really?" Chen Er was still not calm enough, but he immediately became happy after hearing this. "Then you really helped a lot!"
Qin Lao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. We don't know how much time the general is willing to give you."
"It's okay, it's okay. Even if it's only for ten days or half a month, we can move into the new house as soon as possible." Chen Er laughed.
Chen Xiao bowed to Qin Lao and said, "Thank you for your help, Qin Lao. We will never forget your kindness today."
Don't underestimate this holiday. If they really follow their previous plan, it will be very difficult for everyone to live in the new house before winter. They have even made preparations for not being able to live in the new house after winter.
After all, all the workers in the mines are strong laborers, and most of the land reclamation workers are women and old and weak men.
"What kind of favor is this? Go back quickly, and I will tell you the result tomorrow." Old Qin waved his hand to drive them away.
Shen Xiao and Chen Er thanked him again before going home together.
As soon as they reached the intersection, they heard the bustling sounds in their yard.
"What's going on?" Chen Er ran home.
Shen Xiao also quickened his pace and soon arrived close.
"Cheng San's skills are really good. He can even hunt such a big wild boar."
"Hurry up! He just said that everyone who helps out today will get a share. I don't want anything else but this bite of meat!"
"Haha, yes, I haven't had fresh meat at home for a long time."
It turned out that after Shen Qingqian and the others came back, Sheng Ze asked people to help deal with the wild boar, and he also made it clear that everyone who came to help would have a share.
Wu and others were busy boiling water, while Shen Qingqian and her sister were helping to divide the meat.
