So Kui Wu stepped forward, moving very quickly. Before Xu Laosan could react, he was grabbed by his shoulder with one hand and his arm with the other. The next second, he felt his feet off the ground, and he turned upside down. The next second, he fell on the stone slabs in the yard, and he grimaced in pain.
Lin exclaimed and hurried forward to help Xu Laosan up, and Ding Yi also stepped forward to help.
Qibao was not worried. She could see that Kuiwu had reduced a lot of his strength. It was just that the clothes he wore in summer were thin, so it would be a little painful when he fell to the ground, but it would be fine after a while.
Kui Wu immediately said, "I'm sorry, Third Master, I didn't know you..."
After being helped up, Xu Laosan rubbed his back. When he heard Kui Wu's words, he felt that he would say something bad next second, so he immediately interrupted, "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't expect you to move so quickly, Kui Wu. I haven't reacted yet! However, victory and defeat are common in the military. It's okay. The weather is too hot. Let's go back to the house and have a glass of ice water."
After saying that, he walked towards the house first. Wang said, "He is so obsessed with face that he suffers in life. He is exactly like his father."
When the old man heard this, he immediately refused to do it: "Old woman, if you want to talk about your son, just talk about your son. Why bring me along?"
Wang said, "Couldn't it be your son? As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes." After saying that, she waved her hand and ignored the old man and went into the house.
"You! You are so unreasonable." The old man was furious.
Listening to the old couple bickering, no one else dared to speak, for fear of getting involved, but they kept trying to hold back smiles.
Li whispered to Zhang, "Just now, my third brother's wife looked like she believed me. I didn't expect... Haha, I'm so happy!"
Zhang also smiled and said, "Alright, don't mention this matter anymore. Third brother's wife is shy, so let's just pretend it never happened."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I get it. It just gets funnier the more I think about it." Li said.
After the failure in this competition, Xu Laosan became more and more courageous and determined to never give up. Sometimes he would go to Kui Wu for advice and guidance, and he really learned some skills from him, but that's a story for later.
After lunch, the greenhouse workers came to Xu's house. Chunsheng said, "Uncle Dashan, we've taken care of the vegetables and watered them. I wonder what we need to do now?"
The old man said, "Thank you for your hard work. It's so hot, please take a break. We will go to the mountain to cut some wood later."
Qibao has already told the old man about it, and she has prepared the blueprints. She plans to build all the houses in Xujia Village with wood, similar to the style of modern one-story villas. This will not only save money on bricks and tiles, but also make the houses look special and elegant. This is a best of both worlds solution.
The old man handed the prepared drawings to Xu Chunsheng and asked him to study them carefully.
Xu Chunsheng took the drawings and began to look at them. The first picture was the finished product of the entire wooden house. He was stunned for a moment.
Xu Chunsheng said, "Uncle, the shape of this house is really unique and beautiful. I can't believe we will live in a house like this in the future."
The old man said: "Now we just need to work together, and we will definitely be able to live in a house like this."
Others also wanted to see what the house looked like on the blueprint. Xu Chunsheng handed the blueprint to everyone and asked everyone to take a look. He also reminded them to be careful not to damage the blueprint.
After seeing the full picture of the villa on paper, the villagers' faces were full of longing, and they imagined what a happy scene it would be for them and their families to live in such a house.
Immediately, a man with a more impatient temper said, "Uncle, I will go cut down the tree now so that I can live in such a beautiful house as soon as possible."
Seeing this, the others all agreed, and the old man had no choice but to agree, saying, "Okay, I'll let White Wolf go with you. We'll always go up the mountain, just in case there's any danger."
Xu Chunsheng said, "Okay, then uncle, I will take everyone to the mountain to cut trees."
A group of people rushed out again. The old man asked his three brothers to follow him, and the servants who followed them also went to help.
Qibao sat on a chair on the corridor in the courtyard, looking at the lotus buds planted last year in the small pond. They would be in full bloom in a few days. Fortunately, she put a lot of spiritual spring water in it, otherwise they would not bloom so soon. Then she would not only have lotus seeds to eat, but also lotus roots.
From noon to afternoon, the men in the village carried the cut wood down from the mountain one by one, and their clothes were never dry.
Wang asked Mei Niang to prepare a few buckets of ice water and place them where the wood was piled. Everyone would have ice water to drink when they were thirsty, and for a while they didn't feel so hot anymore.
It was almost dark when all the men came down from the mountain. They had actually chopped down a lot of wood in most of the day.
For several days in a row, the men in the village came here and kept coming down. You can imagine how hard it was. However, the Xu family prepared ice water for everyone to drink every day, and Uncle Xu and his two brothers also went to help every day.
It happened to be the day when my brother and his friends had a day off. Seeing the villagers running up and down the mountain, I joined in the fun and went up the mountain with them.
Qibao and his brothers went to the mountain together and helped the villagers cut off the unnecessary branches on the book poles with daggers.
Other people in the village also praised the Xu family's children for being sensible. They did not really think of themselves as masters just because their family was rich and had servants. This also showed that the Xu family had taught their children very well.
