Sister Han is good at farming
Chapter 37 Building a House
April 16th is a good day for breaking ground.
After Ruan Wantie dug the first handful of soil in front of his own foundation, a string of firecrackers began to crackle. Ruan Shian and Ruan Lanlan were jumping and laughing beside them. Wang, Ruan Qingqing, and Ruan Shiping also had smiles on their faces.
Mr. Ruan, Mrs. Ruan, Ruan Wanjin and others were also standing by, smiling and nodding.
"Hey yo, hey yo!" A group of strong men from the village who were invited to help were digging the soil and foundation while shouting.
The sun moved slowly in the sky, and the lively sounds filled the air.
"Qingqing, pass me a plate."
"Lanlan, bring the tofu over here."
In the cramped kitchen, the sounds of "thump thump thump" of cutting vegetables, the "sizzle sizzle" of vegetables being put into the pot, and the sounds of giving orders to pass things around interweave into a busy scene.
Sisters Ruan Qingqing and Ruan Lanlan were also busy inside.
"Shi'an, go next door and call your father and the others to come back for dinner."
While Wang was moving firewood in the yard, she told Ruan Shian, who was taking care of a pair of twin babies, to call people back for dinner.
"I understand, Mom!" Ruan Shian ran out of the yard with his feet swinging to call for help.
The dishes were brought to the table one after another.
"Ruan Lao Si, you're really taking things too far! Are you planning to prepare houses for your three sons to get married when they grow up?"
I could vaguely hear someone outside the yard teasing Ruan Wantie, and the voice was getting closer.
"Well, Brother Niu, you know me. I can't keep any money. So I might as well build some family business." Ruan Wantie replied without a single leak.
"Haha, your luck has finally come to you! That's right, it's better to use this money to build some property instead of giving it to a gambling house."
Everyone pushed open the yard door while chatting and laughing.
Ruan Qingqing drew a bucket of water, put it aside and asked everyone to wash their hands. The clear water quickly became turbid, and then Ruan Qingqing poured it into the vegetable garden that was cultivated in the corner of the house.
When we returned to the yard, everyone was already eating happily.
"Oh, Ruan Laosi, you are really kind. There are three meat dishes on the table. I have worked for you for more than ten years, and your family is the most generous!"
"Oh my god! This dish is filled with nothing but meat, without any side dishes. The meat is square and greasy. I almost swallowed my tongue when I took a bite! Haha!"
"Mmmm, this pot of meat is delicious, and the ingredients are good."
"You don't know this! This dish is called braised pork. Every time I eat it at Ruan Laosi's place, I can't forget it. Haha!" Chi Liehu said proudly.
"Dear uncles, aunts and brothers, if you think the food is delicious, please eat more. I will rely on your help in building the house in the future!" Ruan Wantie raised his glass to everyone.
"Nothing to say, nothing to say!"
"I will definitely do my best!"
"It's a must! Fourth Brother Ruan, if your family needs any help in the future, I will come even if I have to postpone other tasks just for the sake of your meals."
"Haha, Shuanzi, if this was your father-in-law's job, would you dare to refuse it?"
"Why not? I can't afford to treat my father-in-law with such delicious food."
"Ha ha!"
In the kitchen, Mrs. Ruan, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Wang, who were helping, were either sitting or standing around the stove eating.
"Mr. Fourth's family, your dish is really too expensive." Old Mrs. Ruan sighed while holding the bowl.
Wang smiled and said, "Mother, the child's father said that if the food is better, everyone will help more attentively. Building a house is a big deal, there is no need to be stingy about it.
Li glanced at Wang in surprise. With money in hand, she spoke differently.
Liu nodded thoughtfully, "That's true. After this incident, it will be easier to find someone to help your family in the future."
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Ruan nodded and said, "It does cost some money." The old lady still felt sorry for the money.
"Grandma, if we can move into the new house before the thunderstorm season comes and avoid getting our clothes wet in the rain, all this money won't be wasted." Ruan Qingqing comforted.
Old Mrs. Ruan sighed again, "Indeed, everyone's health is more important than anything else. Moreover, we have two more children in the family, so we have to be more careful."
It was a meal that everyone enjoyed very much.
The busy house-building work started from this day. Before the busy farming season, Ruan Wantie invited all the helpers he could from his own village and nearby villages, and planned to prepare all the necessary materials in the early stage, so as to avoid delays in the progress of their house-building due to the lack of helpers in the later stage.
Old Master Ruan and the two brothers Ruan Wanjin and Ruan Wangang were even busier, and their dedication was no less than when they were building the house themselves.
Every time Ruan Qingqing came back in the sunset carrying a hoe, when she passed by her own foundation, she saw her new house getting higher little by little, and she felt extremely at ease in her heart.
Since the construction of the house began, Ruan Wantie has been busy with the construction. Ruan Qingqing and Ruan Shiping worked on the crops in the field. Wang and Ruan Lanlan were busy at home, preparing lunch for the helpers.
When there is no work in the fields, Ruan Qingqing will also help out at home.
After entering May, Mr. Ruan and his family started working in their own fields. Even Liu and her family had to go to the fields with them and could not come to help.
Wang and Ruan Lanlan were too busy to handle the cooking alone. Not to mention the new house, because everyone was in a hurry to plant, there were fewer helpers and the progress was slowed down. Ruan Qingqing ran back and forth between the two places and was very tired, but fortunately the house was almost built.
The house was very large, with eight main rooms and a main hall, in the style of a quadrangle. In the middle was the main hall, with two rooms on each side, and two more rooms on the left and right front of this row of rooms. In the back were the kitchen, bathroom, and firewood room. Behind a large piece of land were the cattle pen, pig pen, chicken coop, and duck house.
The house is one of the biggest in Zaozilin.
Ruan Qingqing calculated the time and went to Yan Carpenter to customize a batch of furniture.
Each room is equipped with a bed, a large wardrobe with four doors, and a set of tables and chairs. In Nguyen Van Tie and Wang's house, and in her and Nguyen Lan Lan's room, there is an additional dressing table. She designed the furniture in a modern retro style.
The living room is equipped with a retractable dining table and a set of chairs; the kitchen has four large cabinets.
The beams, window frames, etc. that they needed to build the house this time were also made in advance by Yan Carpenter. Seeing how busy they were, Ruan Qingqing was not sure if she could get in line if she didn't order them in advance.
Yan Qufeng held a stack of manuscript paper, looked at the patterns and the number of notes on the manuscript paper, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Is this a fortune?"
"I did make a little money from selling bamboo hairpins, but I also spent most of it on building a house and buying some furniture." Ruan Qingqing smiled slightly. "By the way, Uncle Yan, how are the curved plow and three-legged hoe cart that I drew for you selling?"
"It's not easy to sell here, but many people are asking about renting it. However, a merchant took a fancy to it two months ago and signed a supply contract. In addition, your house has urgent items such as door frames, so you may have to postpone these furniture." Yan Qufeng said in embarrassment.
"No problem! But Uncle Yan, I hope you can help me make three sets of furniture for urgent use after my house is built."
