"I'm planning to get some bricks back. If I tell Captain Wu this, he will definitely agree. After all, this shabby house standing here is also an eyesore, and the guys don't dare to get close to it. But I'm not afraid, I have a lot of yang energy."

Lu Qingyang explained with a playful smile.

"Okay, okay, do whatever you want." Han Zhiqiang was too lazy to argue with him anymore and let him do whatever he wanted. After all, this was a public house.

He emphasized again, "But you have to teach me how to drive a tractor."

Lu Qingyang felt that teaching Han Zhiqiang to operate a tractor was much more difficult than repairing a house.

"Got it, Captain Han, I will never give up on you. "

After all the educated youth came back, Han Zhiqiang asked everyone about this matter.

"Have you seen that dilapidated house? Are you willing to help Lu Qingyang repair it?"

Everyone looked at each other. Naturally, no one wanted to go because everyone knew the rumors about that room.

"He will pay you according to the brigade's standards. Now he needs two people to help!"

Upon hearing that there was money, a male educated youth finally raised his hand. His family was relatively poor, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money.

In the end, he was the only one willing to help for the sake of the salary.

The other educated youth were either afraid or felt that after work they still had to collect firewood, cook, and farm, which was too tiring and they had no time. Everyone had already finished their own work, so who would be willing to take on more work?

Lu Qingyang had almost expected the result. Having one person to help was enough. Isn't there Sun Xiangqian?

There are three of them in total.

The poor male educated youth took the initiative to find Lu Qingyang, "My name is Zhou Jianshe, I can help you."

"Okay, I'll pay you, and I'll give you dinner while you work."

When Zhou Jianshe heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I'll be there in a minute."

He is not afraid of ghosts. There are things scarier than ghosts in the world.

Lu Qingyang said that there were three big holes on the roof of this house, and they needed to be repaired first.

It's been sunny these few days. If it rains, this place won't be like the Water Curtain Cave.

The first thing they had to do was to repair the beams with wood. They had the tools at hand, so they used saws to cut up the wood that was not discarded.

According to the length of the roof, it was sawed into strips.

The beams are easy to deal with, just the tiles on the house.

When he needed rainproof tiles, he asked Zhou Jianshe, "Is there a brick and tile factory nearby?"

"Yes, yes, but it's a little far and it's troublesome to transport it. We have two days off this month, so you can go and have a look then!"

Lu Qingyang did have this plan, but now he had to reinforce the beams to prevent the house from collapsing.

After finishing their work, the three of them were exhausted and out of breath.

Lu Qingyang was not stingy and took out some cookies for the two of them to fill their stomachs.

Sun Xiangqian and Zhou Jianshe were indeed hungry, so they didn't hesitate to eat the cookies.

Lu Qingyang then began to prepare for the wild rabbits he had caught today.

The saber I bought before was very sharp, and the rabbit fur was peeled off completely. I heard from the villagers in the brigade that the fur could be sold for money.

This time, after he cleaned the rabbit, he looked at the iron uncle who had just delivered white radish at the door and prepared to stew the rabbit and radish soup.

Find the bitter melon in the mountains, blanch it, then mix it with sesame oil, salt, sesame seeds and pepper.

For dinner, I ate the wild vegetable dumplings left over from last night, which was considered a sumptuous meal.

Zhou Jianshe came back after washing his hands and looked at a few bowls on the simple wooden board, emitting a mouth-watering aroma.

He originally thought that it should be a simple and casual meal, but he didn't expect that there would be meat and vegetables. He couldn't help but be in a daze for a long time.

"You caught a rabbit, but you didn't exchange it for work points? Or you just stewed it and ate it?"

"We don't need these few work points. It would be great if we could eat them to replenish our bodies. Don't just stand there. Use your chopsticks!"

Lu Qingyang's life motto: If you mistreat others, you will never mistreat yourself.

Zhou Jianshe filled a bowl of rabbit meat and radish soup, took a sip, and immediately an indescribable deliciousness spread in his mouth. He drank the whole bowl of soup in no time.

The juicy greens and cold bitter melons exuded the scent of sesame oil. I suddenly remembered the smell of home, and I couldn't help but feel sour in my eyes.

Seeing that he was so moved that he was about to cry, Lu Qingyang could not help but comfort him, "Is it not enough? If it is not enough, there is more. I told you that dinner is enough."

Zhou Jianshe rubbed his eyes and said, "That's enough. It's just that it's so delicious. It reminds me of my mom."

He is now thankful that he was willing to help, otherwise how could he eat such delicious food.

Here, we can’t eat any meat for half a month or so.

"By the way, Jianshe, although the food here is good, you must not tell anyone, lest some people get jealous." Lu Qingyang put down his chopsticks and reminded.

"Please let it go."

It is not as if he has no good character since people give him meat as a treat.

After Zhou Jianshe and Sun Xiangqian left, Lu Qingyang squatted at the door with a bowl of carrot soup.

I was thinking, why hasn't Shen Mo come to ask for dinner today?

After waiting for a long time, she didn't show up. It seems that she will not come today.

Lu Qingyang just brought the bowl in. She must have eaten her fill today.

Forget it, she is just an orphan, is she worth his concern? Maybe he felt that she was too pitiful, with such a frail body that she would fall down if the wind blew.

It's better to wash up early, go to the space to work for a while, and rest early.

Lu Qingyang closed the door, but suddenly heard some noises coming from outside. At first he thought Shen Mo had come, but later he realized that this was not the case.

He heard two footsteps echoing outside the house.

Then he found two snakes crawling in from the gap between the door panels.

At first, Lu Qingyang was a little panicked, but as a botanist, he had been in the wild for many years and had seen this kind of snake before.

This kind of black snake is common in the countryside and is non-venomous.

It's just that snakes usually hibernate in this weather, so why would a snake crawl into his house out of the blue?

He thought for a moment and then realized that there must be two people outside who were causing trouble. They must have taken out the hibernating snake from somewhere, woke it up, and deliberately threw it into his room.

It's warm in his house, and cold-fearing snakes will definitely move towards warm places.

Besides, the two snakes were hibernating, and their stomachs were empty. If they got in, they might bite him.

Lu Qingyang opened the door shakily and was about to break open, intending to drive the two snakes out.

However, he discovered that a figure quickly appeared in front of him and grabbed the approaching black snake with his bare hands. The snake twisted around while being grabbed by seven inches, but it could not bite the man with both hands.
