Hua Shi shook his head.
Aunt Hua's face was filled with even more regret. "Alas, poor thing! His face was burned. I'm afraid he won't even be able to find a wife..."
Hua Shi listened to her sigh without saying anything.
Aunt Hua asked again, "Then why are you demolishing houses here again? Is it...?"
"There are several more people in the family. I see that the house is old and shabby and can't accommodate so many people. So I thought about demolishing the wall and building a bigger one so that we can have a place to stay."
Aunt Hua nodded in agreement and then asked curiously, "Then you guys can do it yourself? Do you want to ask the villagers for help?"
Hua Shi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to refuse: "No, it's just a casual expansion. I need help, but I don't have money to pay them, and I don't want to trouble them."
Of course, these were words I spoke against my will. Because the house was built in a rather unusual way, and there were a lot of unsightly things hidden in the backyard, it was naturally difficult to ask anyone to come in and help...
After talking for a while, Aunt Hua got what she wanted to hear and turned away.
Hua Shi watched her leave and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that after he had spoken to Second Aunt Hua, he didn't need to do anything more. Someone would naturally spread the news, and it wouldn't be long before the whole village knew about it...
Sure enough, as Hua Shi had expected, within just one day, what happened in the Hua family courtyard spread throughout the entire village.
Hua Li walked outside for a while and someone stopped him and asked him what happened at home.
At this point, Hua Song and the other three had officially settled down in the village and had a legitimate name. Although there were still many dissenting voices, as long as they pointed out that the three of them had changed their surnames, no matter what others wanted to say, they had to shut up.
Under Hua Shi's orderly leadership, the old walls of the Hua family courtyard were quickly demolished bit by bit. In just one day, the original house was razed to the ground, leaving only ruins.
Under Hua Song's skillful operation, the house was built up bit by bit over time.
During this period, there were some curious villagers who would come over to take a look from time to time, but soon, with the arrival of the first harvest, the villagers became busy and no one had the free time to come over and take a look.
Gradually, no one came here anymore, and Hua Shi became happy and relaxed, concentrating all his energy on building the house.
After working non-stop for nearly two months, the house was built bit by bit as time went by.
When a lifelike wooden and bamboo house was rebuilt, no one in the village noticed it. Instead, two or three families next door, belonging to Aunt Hua Er, who lived nearby and went out early and came back late, saw the rebuilt bamboo house.
Because she had never seen a bamboo house of this style before, Aunt Hua came over worriedly and asked her twice, asking her to take a good look. She said that such a house was not as good as the earthen houses in the village, was prone to leaks, and could not withstand people's habitation. She was afraid that she had been busy for so long, but in the end the house could not be lived in for long, and that she had done so much useless work for nothing.
After several attempts, when he realized that he couldn't persuade Hua, and saw that the house was being built bit by bit, he stopped trying to persuade her.
The house was built as planned. Meanwhile, the shopkeeper Guan sent people over a month and a half ago to collect all the fish from the backyard pond.
When the house was completed, the fish in the pond were all collected by the people sent by Guan Wei.
"Sister, isn't the house already built? Why do we still need to fence off such a large area with bamboo?"
Hua Xiao looked at the bamboo in his hand and pointed curiously at the large empty space at the gate of the courtyard.
After this large area was fenced off, it was more than twice as wide as the previous yard... and it was surrounded by bamboo...
Rows of bamboos were tied up on the sand. Just a little bit of bamboo needed to be tied around the edge. The dense bamboos could completely block out the prying eyes of outsiders, but...
Hua Xiao looked at the tiny bamboo in her hand, feeling a little strange.
This bamboo doesn't look very strong. It can be easily destroyed by someone with just a chopping knife. It's not a good defense against thieves...
"Wouldn't it be better to fence it off?"
Hua Shi arranged the bamboo in his hand and asked casually.
"It's good, but this bamboo is not strong and it doesn't look like it can prevent thieves..." Hua Xiao said out loud what he felt strangely.
Hua Shi looked at the green bamboos scattered on the ground, thought for a moment and said, "A bamboo house without a bamboo fence always feels like something is missing. If you feel it's unsafe, you can just add an earthen wall outside the bamboo fence."
Having said that, Hua Shi didn't feel that the yard was unsafe, and he was not afraid that a thief would break in.
After all, not to mention that there are several ferocious pets in the yard, Mo Feng is also very skilled... Once the thief runs in, I'm afraid he will never come back.
And Hua Shi never thought that his fleeting thought would be confirmed so quickly...
