"Congratulations, Auntie, the beams in our house have been installed." Lan Miao suddenly lowered her head and wiped away her tears. Since she came to the Li family in the past month, she has experienced more than in her entire life.
All the patients who were able to move in the military camp ran out to congratulate Wang Yi.
"Congratulations, Sister Yi!"
Wang Yi responded to everyone who congratulated him with a smile, then looked up at Liangtou, and suddenly took out a purse and placed it on the desk of the accountant sent by Zheng Yeheng.
"I'm happy today, so I'll give everyone an extra ten cents! It's considered a bonus." He also whispered to the accountant, "I'll pay for the extra money."
The craftsmen came here just for the wages, and when they heard that there would be a bonus today, they immediately cheered: "Yeah! Thank you, boss!"
On the day of raising the beam, there are steamed buns to eat and bonuses to receive, so the workers feel more motivated to work!
Zheng Yeheng also stood in front of the main tent, looking at her back surrounded by people and smiling.
"As the mistress of a family, it's only natural that she should be so glorious."
Then he thought of his princess who only knew how to complain about the world all day long.
Why is there such a big gap between the two?
However, when he thought of Wang Yi's indifference towards him, he felt a little resentful.
You heartless and ruthless woman, I will never let you go when I come back from the battle!
At this time, several carts came from the direction of Qingdong City.
"Zhao Wu is here!"
Wang Yi went over and saw that in addition to her ripening fertilizers neatly placed on the carriage, there was also a pretty girl.
Even if you don't welcome Zhao Wu, you have to go and welcome this girl.
Zhao Wu happily jumped out of the car and looked towards Wang Yi's construction site. There were big red flowers hanging on the beams and mountains of white steamed buns were piled there.
He grinned and opened his cart, revealing several large, shiny iron pots.
"I knew you were going to start the project soon, so I rushed to make ten iron woks for you!"
Wang Yi's eyes lit up immediately. Now that they had a stove, they didn't have enough pots at home. The pots Zhao Wu sent were all large iron pots that could be used to protect the house in a small household.
She stepped forward to take a look, her eyes filled with joy: "Your gift touched my heart!"
"As long as you like it."
At this time, a soft and sticky voice sounded behind Zhao Wu.
"Hello, Auntie." The little girl Zhao Lixiang, wearing a gauze hat, saluted Wang Yi.
The girl is only fourteen years old, but she is not short. Wang Yi helped her up and smiled.
I'm here to meet Li Liugen today, but I don't know if he'll be interested. Lao Liu looks like he can't say a word after being slapped. If you put them together, I guess he'll keep quiet for the whole day.
The lunch was still very rich.
Zheng Yeheng sent a big black pig as a gift for the beam-raising ceremony. The wounded soldiers now had something to do. They quickly killed the pig, cut it into pieces, and made several pots of meat stew with thick oil floating on the surface.
The other half of the pig was also cut into pieces and braised, and Wang Yi asked someone to send it back.
At lunch, everyone in the military camp and on the farm had meat.
Taking advantage of the crowd, Wang Yi came behind the kitchen and put out a lot of vegetables.
These were the vegetables she usually planted in the space, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and other tuberous vegetables, which were almost piled up into a mountain. At this time, she only released a small handful, which was enough to almost blind people's eyes.
When the women looked back at the large number of dishes, they exclaimed in surprise and quickly cleaned them up.
Lan Miao had cooked these dishes for Wang Yi before, so she knew how to make them. She was almost hoarse from giving orders, but she was so impressive that the refugee women didn't dare look up at her.
The fragrant red square meat was served on the table, along with more than a dozen other dishes.
Most of them were fried with pork. Except for Wang Yi, everyone stared at the pork with shining eyes.
Even Ping Shizhi and Zhao Wu, who came with the car, rarely had such a sumptuous meal.
Especially in this year, it is really not easy to find a living pig. They are all kept in the yard of the landlord. Those raised by farmers outside will be snatched away if they are not sold out.
So no one sells pork on the streets anymore.
However, Zhao Wu was very restrained.
When he thought that the pig was sent by Zheng Yeheng, he curled his lips.
Bah, the prince is just a rich man.
At the table, Wang Yi sat at the head seat, followed by Li Shenggen, Li Shoucheng, and Li Liugen.
Shenggen was the head of the family because Wang Yi had told him about Zhao Lixiang, and he had to follow her as a consultant. As for Shoucheng, he was the only scholar in the family, so they were used to having him accompany them whenever they received guests.
The other sons sat at another table. Although there was no wine, they were still eating with their chopsticks flying.
The scene was bustling with activity. Li Xiang and Li Liugen sat across the table from each other. The girl lowered her head and blushed. From behind her veil, she seemed to have almost shrunk her face back. She was too embarrassed to speak or move.
What surprised Wang Yi was that Li Liugen behaved very decently. He still had a stern face, did not say anything and did not show any shyness.
But she clearly saw that Li Liugen's hands under the table were clenched white, and he was obviously extremely nervous.
There is no such thing as blind dates in this era. Being able to bring them together to meet each other is already breaking the norm and not a good thing.
So, Li Xiang didn't dare to take off her hat during the whole meal, and Li Liugen kept looking away intentionally or unintentionally.
Only when they sat there for the last minute did Wang Yi realize that it wasn't that Li Liugen didn't blush, but that the kid's skin was too dark, so Wang Yi couldn't see it.
After lunch, Zhao Wu and others said goodbye.
With Li Xiang here, they couldn't stay too long.
This time, they also brought two apprentices and a batch of raw materials to the blacksmith's furnace outside the camp.
After Zhao Wu settles Li Xiang down, he will come back.
After leaving, no one asked the two children what they had meant before. This was just their first meeting, and there would be a chance to meet again in the future. Let's see if they have any tendency to take the initiative to get to know each other.
After all, Wang Yi can't get over the age barrier.
One is fourteen and the other is thirteen, they are still a little too small.
After noon, the workers took a rest and the women began to clean up the mess.
Putting up the beams took up half a day's work, so we have to work until dark in the afternoon.
But no one had any complaints, because they were all excited when eating steamed buns and receiving red envelopes.
Dinner at home was the pile of sweet potatoes and potatoes that Wang Yi had put away last night.
Piles of sweet potatoes were cut into pieces and thrown into the pot, then added with refined rice. Along with the white flour buns steamed during the day and pickled vegetables, the family of more than a dozen people ate the hot meal.
Li Shenggen went into the house to look for a bench. Wang Yi had made many different kinds of wooden benches by himself when he was practicing Tiangong, and they became the standard dining stools in his family.
He was shocked when he entered the house and saw a small pile of potatoes. He asked in surprise, "Mom, where did these sweet potatoes and potatoes come from? Why are there so many?"
Wang Yi thought that the only way to activate the system's stealth plug-in was to give a "reasonable reason", and no matter how far-fetched the reason was, the system would "change" it into normal in their minds.
So I decided to give it a try.
"The potato and sweet potato vines I planted are ripe. I dug them up myself yesterday."
She pointed to a row of small earthen pits at the door and said, "Look, this is where they're planted!"
