In the morning, while the children were studying, I hurried to the manor. The head of the village and his 20 people were already waiting by the roadside. I took them to find Brother He, and I saw that Brother He was counting the bricks. He was very happy to see me bringing people over.

"Sister, you brought people here, and these bricks have just arrived. Then arrange for them to move them to the mountain and repair the ditch first."

Uncle Li is very smart. He immediately picked up the tools and started moving bricks. I took a look and thought that Uncle Li was really good and had quick reactions. I think he can be trained if there is a chance.

The others also started to move when they saw it. The bustling scene seemed to take me back to the modern times. How hard I worked to earn a little fortune from being penniless. It was just a pity that I didn't expect to come to the ancient times.

I called the village head uncle over, said hello to Brother He, and asked him to help the masters of the sink. The work here is easier. Not so tiring. Help me find someone. For the time being, I don’t have the power to give him other preferential treatment. Just give him some convenience at work, which is also a way of thanking him.

There is strength in numbers. After one day of hard work, almost one-third of the ditch on the mountain has been repaired. At this rate, the project can be completed in half a month.

Three days later, the water tank and base on the top of the mountain were all completed. The next step was to complete the pedestal and columns. Half of the people were assigned to do this, while the other half started digging the drainage ditch designed on the side.

He's team was very experienced. As soon as the drainage ditch was dug, the marble was laid immediately. From the surface, it seemed that nothing could be seen. A circle of flower beds was built on the edge. When flowers were planted, the flowers would hang down and cover the drainage ditch completely. The sewage still flowed into the septic tank outside.

According to the requirements of this family, a very small water tank was designed next to some very precious flowers and plants. When watering is needed, the water tank is opened to wet the plants a little. It is just like growing vegetables in modern greenhouses, except that the water cannot be sprayed but can only flow.

After more than 20 days of intense work, it is finally time to test the water. Let your uncle Li Zheng and his men go home and rest for two days while we wait for the owner of this manor to come and test the results.

I originally thought that only the housekeeper was coming, but unexpectedly, several young masters from the nearby families came as well.

The water flows rapidly, the marble floor is shining, the screen blocks the privacy, there is a small dressing table, and a small dressing room with incense, clean and comfortable. The whole thing is like a modern bathroom, except that there is no shower head. The rest of the place can be said to be more spacious, convenient, and more elegant than the current bathroom. After all, modern bathrooms don't have such a wide space.

The owner of the house, Mr. Dong in brown clothes, waved his hand and gave me a reward, amid the envy of the other young masters. So I got a few taels of silver as a reward. I was very happy and quickly thanked him and took it into my arms.

I am just an ordinary person, and I only need money. I don't have the capital to play with other fancy things!

A young man in royal blue came over and asked, "Are you the one who made this water trough?"

"Sir, I am one of them."

"I heard from them that your design is very good. You can go to my manor tomorrow and do the same for me." After saying that, a ten-liang silver ingot was placed in my hand.

"My last name is Jiang, and I own the property next door. I've already paid you the deposit, so you can start work at my place tomorrow."

The other young masters laughed and cursed: "Jiang Chuan, you are going too far. We are all here. Why should we go to your house first?"

"Just based on the deposit I gave you guys, you guys haven't even paid the deposit yet, and you still have the nerve to talk to me." The boy named Jiang Chuan lazily leaned on the chair and answered in a very infuriating way. His sloppy appearance was as annoying as it could be, and it was obvious that these people were very familiar with each other.

"Okay, then we'll pay the deposit. Three silver ingots of ten taels each were placed in front of me by the accompanying servant."

"Don't worry, young masters. I will start from Young Master Jiangchuan's house and work on them one by one. I will never delay your work and guarantee that I can provide you with the same quality as what we have completed now."

After looking at it, the young masters paid a deposit, laughed, walked out of the door and rode away on horseback.

Young Dong also told the butler to settle the bill for us and left soon after.

I paid off the balance with the housekeeper, and after counting the wages, I still earned more than 140 taels. I split it with Brother He in half. I felt relieved after getting the money. Raising two children is stressful.

I went to the street and bought some more pens, ink and paper. Now the two children are practicing calligraphy with Master Chen, and these things consume a lot of energy. Especially Xiuwen's progress is very fast, Qiwen is still young and can't be so stable.

Gradually, Xiuwen's progress far surpassed Qiwen's.

There are three rooms in the house, and we have to separate Qiwen to sleep in one of them so as not to affect Xiuwen's studies.

I ran to the street and bought a new quilt. Fat, pork, pork bones, a few bunches of green vegetables, potatoes, brown rice and flour. I saw that the grocery store actually had dried chilies, so I bought two kilograms without hesitation, and also bought a few kilograms of eggs. In a blink of an eye, I had spent almost ten taels of my earnings.

When I got home, Xiuwen and Qiwen had already returned and helped me take the things. I took out the new quilt and put it in Qiwen's arms: "Xiaobao, this is yours. From tonight on, you will go to the west wing and set up another bed, because you have grown up. Grown-up kids must sleep alone."

I thought Xiaobao would be unhappy, but he was so happy that he picked up the quilt and went to make his own bed.

He also said happily: "I, Xiao Qiwen, finally have my own bed."

Okay, I think too much.

In the evening, I stewed big bones and potatoes. Although life was a bit rough, I was happy. Well, good days have come one step closer.
