Early the next morning, Qin Feng went to the village committee to find the village chief. As soon as he entered the village committee, he saw three people sitting inside and talking. He took out the pack of cigarettes that Ke'er had given him yesterday, took out three cigarettes and handed one to each person. He greeted everyone and then told the village chief with a smile that the current cave house was not suitable for living. There were many people in the family, and the children had grown up, mostly boys. They would need a house to get married in the future. The cave house they chose was not enough to live in, and they had to dig a few more caves. So they wanted to continue digging next to the original cave house to see if the village committee agreed. The village chief agreed very readily and said to Qin Feng, "It's not a big deal. It doesn't require moving. When you're done digging, come to the village committee to measure it for you to see how much land there is, and then we'll handle the housing procedures for you." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Thank you, village chief. When we finish digging the cave house, I'll treat you three to a drink."
Everyone laughed.
Qin Feng told the village chief that the family needed a few days off to repair the cave dwelling before they could start work. The village chief knew that Qin Feng had brought a lot of food back this time, so the family wouldn't have to starve, so he readily agreed. He told Qin Feng to repair the cave dwelling well and make it sturdy, and to come to him if he needed anything. Qin Feng then asked, "Village chief, I need wood, bricks, and blue bricks."
The village chief thought to himself, what kind of cave are you going to build that requires these materials? So he said to Qin Feng, "Qin Feng, you definitely need these materials?" "Yes, we need these materials." The village chief thought for a while and said, "The wood is available in the carpentry workshop in the village. You can exchange it for work points or buy it with money. Every family has earth bricks, so you have to buy them with money. Villagers use their spare time to make earth bricks and wait for them to dry before taking them to the county town to exchange for money. One cent is 6 earth bricks. You have to go to the county town to buy blue bricks. You need so many blue bricks to dig a cave?" "Yes, you need these blue bricks."
After asking about these things, Qin Feng hurried back home. He saw dust flying above his cave from a distance. Ke'er was wearing a white one-piece suit with a hood (medical protective suit) and a glass cover (protective mask) on her face. There was a layer of dirt on her body. Ke'er was waving a small whip with a snapping sound. She had dug about ten meters to the west.
Yesterday, everyone discussed the idea of a large hall, with two rooms on each side, and three rooms on the east and west sides. Of the three existing cave dwellings, one would serve as a kitchen, a larger one as a dining room, and a door between them. The other would serve as a warehouse, but since it wasn't big enough, they would dig out further. The family was busy at work. At noon, while Li Shuwan was making lunch, she heard someone call out, "Li Shuwan, is my sister home?" She looked and saw it was the village head's wife, Qin Saozi, arriving with a basket filled with vegetables. She saw Li Shuwan coming out. Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "Shuwan, your family just came back and there are no vegetables to eat, so I picked some for you. They are all home-cooked vegetables, such as radish and cabbage. Don't be disgusted. Come to my field to pick more after you finish eating." Li Shuwan took it and said politely, "Thank you, sister-in-law. How can I be disgusted? They are such delicious vegetables." Mrs. Qin sighed and said, "We have a well at home, and we use the well water to irrigate the fields. The water channel in the village is about to run out of water. If we don't eat these vegetables, they will wither and die." Li Shuwan asked Mrs. Qin, "Sister-in-law, has it been like this here all year round?" "Yes, of course. When the water volume is low at this time, the village above will intercept the water, leaving only a small water outlet."\u0027 patted Li Shuwan's arm and said, "I'm leaving. I'm going home to cook. Everyone in the family will be back soon. You can go and do your own thing." After that, he left in a hurry.
When the family decided to build a cave, Qin Feng assigned a task to Xiao Si, asking him to play on the slope below the cave. If anyone came, he would quickly run to tell Ke'er. Ke'er would cast an ignore spell to cover the cave that was being dug. The other brothers would take tools and repair the old cave. Therefore, Ke'er was not afraid of anyone coming to the house, and he just had to concentrate on digging the cave.
That day, Qin Feng, along with several other boys, drove an oxcart from house to house, exchanging sugar, brown sugar, and cloth for bricks. They also discussed with the village chief about exchanging sugar and cloth for wood. The family was busy with their own things that day, and only after the sun set did they sit down in front of the cave to have dinner. Qin Feng said, "Ke'er, we need some blue bricks, stones, and slabs. Your brothers and I will go to the big canal to find the stones and slabs, and then we can use the oxcart to go back and forth. We need to buy blue bricks in the county town. Shall we go to the county town tomorrow?" Ke'er readily agreed. He also asked Xiao Si, "Fourth brother, are you going to the county town to play?" Qin Muchun turned to Li Shuwan and asked, "Mom, are you going to the county town?" Li Shuwan asked with a smile, "So, if I don't go, you won't go?" "Well, wherever Mom is, I'll be there." Everyone laughed and said they knew the answer a long time ago. Ke'er shook her head. If she didn't want to go, then she wouldn't go. Qin Feng said to them, "Qin Muzhe, take your two younger brothers to the canal to pick up stones, big and small. Classify them and pile them up. I will use a bullock cart to move them when I come back." "Dad, we will go there by bicycle, and the bullock cart will be for the brothers." Qin Feng blinked at him, and Qin Feng understood immediately.
Early the next morning, Li Shuwan prepared breakfast for the father and son, and packed a few pancakes for them. After filling the kettle with water, Qin Feng rode his bicycle with Ke'er and set off. When they were 3 kilometers away from the village, Ke'er said to her father, "Dad, stop, stop." Qin Feng stopped his bicycle, picked up Ke'er, and said, "Ke'er, are there blue bricks in the space? Are they enough?" Ke'er said, "Enough, a lot. But we need a truck to pull it back. Dad, do you want to learn to drive?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly and said, "Learn, learn now?" "Yes, learn to drive now."
Ke'er moved out a truck, slapped a peace amulet and a super memory talisman sticker on her father, and also slapped a safety amulet on the truck. Then Qin Feng, a novice driver, sat in the driver's seat, started the engine, shifted gears, and stepped on the accelerator. The truck started moving slowly and steadily. Three hours later, the truck loaded with blue and red bricks drove into the village. No one was met along the way. Everyone was busy in the fields. The children were picking up stones and digging grass roots in the fields. There was no idle people wandering around in the village. In addition, Ke'er slapped an ignore amulet on the truck. The truck and the father and son inside the truck were ignored.
The truck drove all the way to their cave home and stopped. Xiao Si ran in front of the truck and said, "Wow, Daddy, you are so awesome, you can drive a truck now." Ke'er waved her hand, and a load of bricks was unloaded and neatly placed in the yard. At this time, her brothers came back with an ox cart. Seeing the truck, they were so excited that they touched it. Ke'er waved her hand and took the stones off the ox cart.
"Okay, you are really capable." A loud voice shouted.
