The next day, we cooked porridge and bought some buns. We had breakfast together and watched Xiuwen and Qiwen walk to the academy. I also set off for the manor.

When I got here, I found that Brother He and his friends had already arrived and were looking at the terrain on the mountain. When they saw me coming, they hurriedly waved for me to come over.

The water flow on the mountain is a bit fast, so I suggested turning a corner where the water flows to avoid damaging the ditch in the event of heavy rain, and then slowing down the slope a little. After confirming everything, we returned to the manor.

The housekeeper was already waiting. He was very enthusiastic when he saw us coming and said that the bricks in the kiln had already been ordered. When would they be shipped out?

As for the sink, we used the same one as the one in Prince Wang's house, made of nanmu, and marble in the manor. This way, it is simple and easy to clean.

They asked us when we would start the work. They said there would be a party here in a while. We had to finish all the renovations before the party. Time was a bit tight. If we didn’t do it well, we would have to pay compensation. The consequences would be very serious and we couldn’t afford it.

As a result, my brother’s previous co-workers are no longer enough and we have to add more people.

After discussing with Brother He, we decided to go back and find some more people. In this way, those who knew how to do it before can do the technical work, and those who can't do it can do the carrying. The process will be much faster. The wages will be the normal 20 Wen a day. Regardless of food and accommodation, find 20 people first. If there are fewer, find more when the time comes.

I decided to go back to the village and talk to the clan leader and the village head to see if they have anyone willing to do it. People in the village are familiar with it, so it would be quicker to find someone. It can be regarded as a little return for their help in the past! Besides, there will definitely be more and more things to do in the future, and I don't want to hide it from them anymore.

If possible, I would also like to get the cement out. I will try this now, and if it works, it will be a helper in the future.

After returning to the village by car, I first went to the clan leader's grandfather's place. Grandpa has two sons. The eldest son is Xiu'er's husband, and the younger son is not married yet. Sometimes he would go out to do odd jobs to supplement the family income.

The clan leader was very happy to see me back. When I told him about finding someone, he immediately decided to let his two children go with me. He let Xiu'er take care of the housework first. Xiu'er was also very happy and secretly told me that if I could help her find a job, I agreed with a smile.

Just as we agreed, the village head came, and Uncle Li, who had spoken for me when we broke off the relationship, followed behind. You said your family didn't have much land, and you were an outsider. Your family wasn't well off, and you were a bit idle. When you heard that there was an opportunity to work outside and earn some money, you followed the village head here.

"The wage is 20 yuan a day, including food and accommodation. The working time has not been determined yet. If it is short, it may be more than ten days, and if it is long, it may be one or two months. For the time being, 20 people are needed. Of course, those who can do the work can do it secretly. Those who can't do it will go, and the boss will send them back." Ancient construction relied entirely on manual labor, and the speed was indeed much slower.

"That's for sure. If you believe me, I'll help you find someone who can do it in our village. If anyone doesn't do it well, I'll punish him." After all, Liya is the next in command, so he should have a broader view of the overall situation. As soon as he heard it, he immediately considered the front village.

"Dalang's wife, can I go?" Uncle Li next to me asked me cautiously.

"Sure, Uncle Li, you can be counted as one too! We have confirmed three people here, and the rest only need a dozen or so. Then I'll leave this matter to Uncle Village Chief. Anyone who is willing to come can go to the manor to the west of the town tomorrow. I'll be there at 7 pm and take everyone with me then."

The village head said: "Okay, Dalang's wife, I will wait for you there tomorrow."

After agreeing on the number of people, I went to the field again and took a look around. The vegetables in the field have already started to sprout. They are green and look very pleasing to the eye. I should start weeding after a while. There is still a lot to do. I will finish the work at hand first. I will come back after a while and spend a few days weeding. After all, this is the first land I have bought, so I still have some feelings for it.

The thatched house was still the same, but it looked a little cold as no one had lived there for a few days. I cleaned it up. I pulled out a few pepper seedlings, some red eggplant fruits, cucumber and bean seedlings, and a banana leaf. I wrapped it up and planned to take it back and plant it in the open space in the courtyard. I would plant a few more trees so that it would be more convenient to pick vegetables when I cook.

When I got back to town, I told Brother He about the recruitment. I went to buy some food, prepared dinner, and waited for Xiuwen and Qiwen to come back. The evening clouds shone from one end of the alley. The whole scenery was peaceful and simple, and I felt that the years were peaceful.

In the distance, Qiwen was walking in front, jumping and skipping, followed by Xiuwen, who was walking slowly. The young boy had grown up very quickly during this period, and his extraordinary appearance had gradually emerged.

I felt proud for a while in my heart, these two cute little boys are mine.

After dinner, I sent the two brothers to read. I planted all the seedlings I brought back today in the small vegetable garden by the wall in the yard. After a busy day, I washed up and fell into bed. I slept soundly all night until dawn.
