The kitchen and bathroom projects are progressing in an orderly manner.
After Chen Man finished cleaning up the main room, she started to tinker with another room and found that it was full of large cabinets used to store grain.
She couldn't move it by herself, so she didn't move it for the time being. She would ask the workers for help when the back part was finished and the front parts were renovated, and then she would see how to move it.
In fact, it's empty inside. My grandmother is old and can no longer farm.
After a simple tidy up, he moved to the basement of the wing room.
Chen Man borrowed a pair of gloves from Uncle Yong and put all the firewood below into the feed bag.
When I was done, I found that there was a wooden stake buried underneath and a round pit covered with small stones.
Chen Man was very confused and asked her grandmother, who told her that it was a pair.
"A pair of what?"
Grandma smiled and looked at her like a silly child.
"Dried chilies are added to the pot and pounded into chili powder. A long time ago, people used this method to pound grain."
Chen Man nodded in understanding.
There were no machines in the past, and this thing called pairs played a great role.
When they are stacked together in bags, it looks much cleaner.
There were only four pillars and a small empty space below. Upstairs was Chen Man's room.
Standing here at this moment, Chen Mancai could vaguely see the river beside him through the bamboo forest outside.
There were a lot of things piled here before, and the grass was thick. Chen Man was afraid of snakes and insects, so she was busy cleaning up and had no time to come over.
Only now do I realize the beauty of this place.
The bamboo shadows were mottled and the water was gurgling. Chen Man walked along the path in the bamboo forest, passed through a small bamboo forest, and outside was a clear river.
The river bank is very wide, covered with fine sand and rugged rocks. Opposite it is a sloping forest.
Clusters of wild flowers survive in the cracks of the rocks on the river bank, full of wild beauty.
Chen Man seemed to have opened up a new world.
Compared to the architectural beauty of big cities, she prefers the beauty of nature.
It was as if through a flower she could glimpse the secrets of creation.
It seemed as if she could feel the magical vitality through a blade of grass.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter have different colors and can bring surprises to people at any time.
Chen Man likes this place very much, and her face is filled with a happy smile.
After finishing the work in front, I must clean up this place beautifully.
Chen Man cleared all the land from the yard to the bamboo forest and sprinkled grass seeds on it.
She plans to wait until next spring, buy some easy-to-grow flower seeds, and spread them around the garden.
Continuing to clean up the bamboo forest, there is a small shed built with tattered clothes and waste plastic film.
There were a few bundles of firewood nearby. After collecting the firewood, Chen Man looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dark. She looked at her cell phone and it was past five o'clock.
I picked vegetables from the garden and cooked in the main room.
The workers all live nearby, and Chen Man doesn't have time to cook for so many workers every day, so they don't eat at Chen Man's house.
Originally, the wages were 200 yuan per person per day, but Chen Man gave each person an extra 20 yuan, totaling 220 yuan per day, as compensation for food expenses.
My grandmother said that when the village needs someone to help build a house, they will at least provide a simple lunch.
Chen Man would cut some watermelon for everyone every day and put some cold water in the refrigerator to relieve the summer heat.
The temporary stove was not very convenient, and Chen Man made it simply.
A cold cucumber salad, a stir-fried tomato with diced peppers, and a kelp and lean pork soup.
It's very simple, but tastes very good. In the hot summer, I really can't eat anything too greasy.
After dinner, all the workers finished work and went home to eat.
Chen Man then went to sort out the debris outside the wing room and was now ready to tear down the shabby little shed in front of her.
Pull off the bamboo strips on top, break them into pieces and tie them into a bundle and place them aside.
Chen Man was afraid that there might be dirt in the rags on top, so she found a pair of tongs and picked them up piece by piece and put them into the garbage bag.
The tongs were quite heavy, and even when she raised her hands they were still difficult and laborious to hold.
So I wanted to take a step forward so that I could exert more force.
But she never expected that when she took this step, she heard a crisp sound of a dry wooden board breaking, and fell into the abyss.
She felt panic and weightlessness, and her body brushed against the wall of the cave and fell to the ground.
She was stunned by the fall.
Her butt hurt a little, but not seriously. The scrapes on her palms stung a little. She couldn't see in the dark, but she guessed that the skin was abraded.
The cave was pitch black. Chen Man finally came to his senses, and his heart was filled with fear in an instant.
In just two seconds, my mind was filled with all kinds of suspicions.
Could it be that grandma was kidnapped and this was a trap set by the traffickers to catch her?
Or is there something wrong with this village?
Or is there some forbidden secret hidden here?
The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems.
"Hmm~"
She whimpered twice, then found herself even more terrified, and quickly shut her mouth.
I tightened my body, constantly comforting myself and giving myself courage.
Chen Man is fine, don't be afraid, it's nothing.
Ignoring the pain in his hand, he hurriedly reached for the phone in his trouser pocket, turned on the screen with trembling hands, and carefully looked around.
Fortunately, there were no snakes, insects or other strange things, just a hole in the earth, otherwise she might have been scared to death on the spot.
She turned on her phone and dialed Xu Junyang's number without hesitation.
Xu Junyang slowed down the car, controlled the steering wheel with one hand, and picked up his mobile phone with the other hand to check.
There were two words "Chen Man" on the screen.
People with phoenix eyes appear arrogant and indifferent, and when they have no expression, it makes people feel difficult to approach them.
He answered the call expressionlessly.
But the low and gentle voice when she opened her mouth sounded like the sound of nature to Chen Man.
