Going to ancient times with a sign-in system: Stepmothers are not to be trifled with

Chapter 28 Building a House

"Village Chief Wu is here, please come inside."

"I'm sorry. Is Miss Guo here?"

"I'm here, my lady is here. The village chief, please sit down, I'll call my lady right now."

"Oh, sorry to bother you."

"Village Chief, please sit down for a while." Responding, Chang walked towards the backyard.

Not long after, Guo Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came out, smiled at Wu Tangchi and said, "Uncle Village Chief, I'm really sorry for making you wait so long."

"No. I'm here today to tell you that the earth bricks and wood are all ready. Can you decide when to start construction?"

"Please trouble Uncle Wu, it will be in two days."

"Two days later, it happens to be eighteen. It's a good day. OK, I'll tell people about it."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu. You can find more workers, so that the house can be built earlier."

"Okay. If it's okay, I'll go back first. I'll have someone move the bricks and logs over tomorrow."

"Okay. Thank you, Uncle Wu."

"Hey, don't take it seriously."

After all, Wu Tang walked out of Xiao's house quickly with his hands behind his back, went to a few more houses, and then went to the swaying house...

the next day.

Early in the morning, the villagers brought over the earth bricks on their backs or picked them up, and stacked them neatly, and the wood was also carried over.

The big guy also told Guo Xiaoxiao that if there were not enough earth bricks, he would move them over and then leave.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to start work.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't understand, so he went to the kitchen to help make lunch.

When she walked into the kitchen, Chen Lianhua was busy with her mother-in-law Qin Yulan and aunt Li Juhua.

Wen Yan and Cheng Wanyan were moving things.

Today is the first day of construction, Guo Xiaoxiao thought that the food should not be too bad, so he arranged for Cheng Wanyan to go to the town to buy food early.

Cheng Wanyan was quick and easy, and after more than an hour, he bought the things and helped them clean them up.

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao approaching, he quickly said, "Miss, don't move around here, just watch the little lady."

"That's right, sister, there are a lot of people these two days, so you have to take good care of the little girl."

"That's right. Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, the four children of your family are all looking good, so you have to look after them. Don't forget the mother and son at the west end of the village."

Listening to Qin Yulan's reminder, Guo Xiaoxiao nodded and responded: "Aunts and sisters-in-law, I will trouble you these few days. There are many things at home, and Xiao Si is young, so I will go and take care of it. You work hard, and I will leave at noon. Steam mixed noodle buns, make more."

"okay."

"Ouch, this is good."

Wen Yan, who was moving things, pointed to a large piece of meat and asked Cheng Wanyan in a low voice: "Sister Cheng, this meat."

Cheng smiled gently, "Sister-in-law, this is arranged by the young lady. She said that most of the people in our village have come to help, so I have to make two hard dishes anyway."

"Don't say you're full, you have to eat comfortably, right? I'll move this, and sister-in-law, you can help carry that basket in." As he spoke, Cheng politely lifted the large piece of meat with both hands. Into the kitchen.

Under the shocked eyes of the three of Qin Yulan, they put it on the table, picked up the kitchen knife on the stove, and began to divide it into pieces.

Seeing Cheng Wanyan's skillful movements, the four of them shuddered in unison.

Qin Yulan instantly thought of the mother and son at the west end of the village, and then a trace of pity appeared on her face: If you don't do good things, why did you focus on the Xiao family?

Now it's all right, as far as the virtues of the mother and son are concerned, with the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, their life may be difficult.
Chen Lianhua simply felt that Guo Xiaoxiao's handwriting was too big, and this big piece of meat weighed at least sixty to seventy catties.

Who can eat so much meat by hiring someone to build a house?
wrong!

Country people's house warming wine is not so much meat...

Wen Yan blinked her eyes, and thought about Cheng Wanyan in her heart. She always felt that Cheng Wanyan was a person with skill, after all, she was also a person with skill...

Thinking of this, a flash of determination flashed in Wen Yan's eyes, and then she gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart.

Shaking his head to hide the decision in his heart, he quickly walked into the kitchen with the basket in his hand, and asked, "Sister Cheng, what are you going to do at noon today? You said we will do it."

"Sister-in-law Wen, I've divided up the meat. The ones you bought are as good as you can see. We are new here, and we don't know what the big guys taste like, so I will trouble the aunts and sisters-in-law."

"Hey, what's the trouble here. Don't worry, we promise to do it properly."

Putting down the kitchen knife, Cheng politely thanked the four of them, and then walked out of the kitchen, leaving the four of them staring at each other in the kitchen.

"Hey, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and wash and chop the vegetables. Such good dishes have to be cleaned up." Qin Yulan, who was the first to recover, patted her thigh and shouted quickly.

Several people came back to their senses, and hurriedly responded: "Hey, okay."

"Sister-in-law, I want to see your handicraft today."

"Aunt Qin's craftsmanship is unmistakable."

"Hahaha…"

The four people in the kitchen got busy...

yard.

Guo Xiaoxiao searched around but didn't see the little girl. She frowned slightly and turned her head to look at a few rooms. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she couldn't help muttering to herself: Why are none of these children missing? ?
Thinking about walking out of the yard, he looked left and right outside, but still couldn't see the four children, Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at the mountain behind the house.

Early this morning, the boss Xiao Ziyang told her to pick up firewood, but it had been almost two hours, and there was no sign of him at all.

Suddenly, I felt a little worried, so I turned around and went back to the yard, talked to Mrs. Chang, then went into the house, put the machete in the back basket, and walked out the back door with the back basket on...

On the nameless mountain.

The four children were standing back to back, their faces were a little pale, and cold sweat was breaking out on their foreheads.

The boss, Xiao Ziyang, was still holding a smaller machete in his hand, and he was panting heavily and staring at one place.

Following his line of sight, there are two sections on the ground.

Take a closer look.

I'm a darling!
It turned out to be a snake.

A colorful snake.

However, now the snake has been cut into two pieces, and the broken part is exactly seven inches.

"Second, don't move yet. I'll try to hit it again with a wooden stick. It is said that where there are treasures, there will be danger. I don't know if there is still danger now."

"Brother, I'll go, take it easy and look at the little girl." After saying that, he stopped Xiao Ziyang who took a step, and then walked forward slowly with a machete in one hand and a stick in the other.

Xiao Ziqing and Xiao Xiaosi stared at Xiao Ziqing closely, and whispered: "Second brother, be careful."

"Ah."

Guo Xiaoxiao walked quickly to the mountain pass, looked around, and then walked towards the path on one side.

She remembered that the direction Xiao Ziyang said early this morning was this way, and she looked forward with vigilant eyes. She always had a feeling that the four children must be together, and there might be some danger...

Thinking of this, Guo Xiaoxiao stepped faster.
