After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Early in the morning, smoke rose from Xu's kitchen.

In the kitchen, Shen Nanshu and Aunt Li were busy preparing something hot for the villagers who would arrive later.

The villagers seemed to have made an appointment and came in groups. Basically, they could start working as soon as they arrived.

No need to wait for everyone to arrive before starting work.

When Shen Nanshu and his companions saw people coming, they brought out hot meals and tea, and greeted them, "Oh, you guys came really early!"

"Come on, come on, eat more steamed buns and dumplings that are just out of the pot while they're hot!"

The villagers who hadn't had breakfast immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, we won't be polite then!"

"Oh, sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good! It's so delicious!"

Shen Nanshu was also happy. He picked up the buns on the table and put them into the man's hand. "Really? If they are delicious, you can eat more. You're welcome!"

"We should be grateful to you for coming to help us repair the house!"

Seeing her mother so enthusiastic, Xu Qingqing stole a glance at her father. Sure enough, Xu Ling's face did not look good at this time, and the smile on his face looked like he was wearing a human skin mask.

[Alas~ Love!] Xu Qingqing pursed her lips tightly, but a smile still escaped from her eyes.

Seeing his sister's expression, Xu Yun, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows, took a step towards her, and swung his hips to the right.

Xu Qingqing was caught off guard and was almost knocked flying by the sudden force from the side.

After trying hard to stand firm, she turned around quickly and saw Xu Yun standing there, looking up at the sky and the earth but not at her. It was obvious that he was guilty!

[Okay, this little bastard, a sneak attack!] Xu Qingqing clenched her fists, narrowed her eyes, and stared at her second brother with murderous intent.

Xu Yun sensed the "murderous intent" and immediately looked at Xu Qingqing with a pair of eyes full of innocence and questioning, as if to say, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Seeing this look of asking for a beating, not only did Xu Qingqing's fists harden, but even her teeth were about to break.

Xu Song, who was standing opposite, watched the pantomime performed by the two people, scratched his head in confusion, his eyes full of question marks, and his expression changed again and again.

[I really don’t understand what my second brother and little sister are doing, but… they didn’t call me when there was something fun! ]

Not far away from the others was Yan Yan, the five-year-old youngest son of Old Yan, now called Yan Yang.

At this time, he was chewing the bun in his hand, looking at the scene with a confused look on his face. After a while, he looked up at his elder sister and asked, "Sister, what are they doing?"

"do not know."

"Oh. They're so weird."

……

With a sound of "chua", the hoe dug into the land in the west of the village. This place has a flat terrain and good feng shui. It is a feng shui treasure land that the village chief selected for the Xu family overnight.

The villagers in the foundation group were waving their hoes vigorously; the people in the tree-cutting group each took a hatchet and a saw into the mountain; the carpenters also took their own drawings, and they were planing the wood until sparks were flying.

The logistics cooking team also has a hard time, they are busy washing and cutting vegetables.

For a while, the whole west village was a little noisy because...

Foundation A: "Captain, how deep do you think the foundation should be dug?"

Foundation B: "It depends on the soil and climate conditions. I think it should be at least three feet deep to ensure the stability of the house."

Village chief: "Okay, then we'll do as you say. We must ensure the quality and not be careless!"

"Yes!"

Craftsman A: "Mr. Zhang, how is the wood being carved?"

Craftsman B: "It's good, but it's a little uneven here."

Craftsman A: "It's okay, I'll fix it. We have to carve every piece of wood perfectly so that the house can be strong." After saying that, he looked around and saw that the Xu family was not here for the time being. He lowered his voice again.

"Only then can we be worthy of that adult."

Craftsman B: "That's right, let's be more careful, this is someone that the master is protecting."

In an instant, the entire western part of the village became quiet, and then the villagers burst into unprecedented enthusiasm.

"The patterns on the doors and windows must be designed carefully to make the new house look both beautiful and auspicious."

"I think we can carve the word 'Fu' on the door, which means full of blessings."

"Good idea! Let's do it this way. It must be done meticulously without any flaws."

"Don't worry, village chief. We will use the strongest materials and the most exquisite craftsmanship to build the roof. We guarantee that the new house will be safe from wind and rain!"

When Xu Qingqing and her group came here again with tea, they saw that the villagers were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were a little confused for a moment.

"This is?"
