The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

When other families in the village learned that Xie Songlin was going to buy bricks to repair his house, most of them shook their heads and rejected the suggestion of buying bricks together.

In their opinion, buying bricks to repair a house is a considerable expense and it is really too expensive.

They prefer to have their family members slowly collect mud bricks. If they have free time today, they will mix some mud and make some bricks. After accumulating a certain amount, they will start to repair part of the house. In this way, although the progress will be slower, they can at least gradually improve their living conditions without spending too much money.

Xie Songlin was worried about renovating the house and had to get a single room for his eldest daughter as soon as possible. The next day, he asked Lin Jian about the brick seller nearby and planned to take Xie Dachun and others to take a look.

The person Lin Jian introduced to him to buy bricks was Uncle Wang from the east end of the next village. When Uncle Wang heard that it was someone introduced by Lin Jian, he gave him a very affordable price without saying a word. He originally thought that it would be good if the price was cheaper than that of other brick sellers in the village, but he didn't expect that the overall price was actually much cheaper than that in Qingshui Town. This was really a pleasant surprise.

Xie Dachun carefully calculated the specific amount of bricks needed for Xie Songlin. This time, he didn't plan to make the house too extravagant. He just wanted to make the family live more comfortably without everyone having to sleep in the same room. He also wanted to leave independent study and living space for the children.

The main plan is to connect the yards of the first and second households. In this way, the space in the middle can be taken in, and the space will become much more spacious. Then, expand the front, back, left and right sides of the house to make the originally cramped areas wider, making the house brighter.

There are many leaking and drafty places in the house, and they need to be repaired this time.

In addition, there is a vacant lot nearby, and Xie Songlin is also thinking about enclosing it. After all, the family now has two horse-drawn carriages and quite a few ox-drawn carts, so there must be a suitable place to house and feed them. They can't always leave these animals outside in the wind and rain.

Cheng Hui thought about raising some chickens, ducks, etc. in the yard. Now that there are more people in the family, the people who had previously bought and secretly farmed on the small farm have also come here, and Li and others are also living together.

With so many people, it is more than enough for them to put aside their time to take care of the fields at home and devote some energy to taking care of the chickens and ducks. Then they will have fresh eggs and duck eggs to eat, and they can also kill one from time to time to satisfy their cravings.

Xie Songlin has always been cautious in doing things. He did not dare to be careless about the piece of land that he wanted to enclose in the yard. He had specially asked Lin Jian about the relevant situation before. The land originally belonged to the village.

However, the area he planned to expand was not particularly large. It was just a small extension of the existing boundary near his house. This would allow for parking horse and ox carts, as well as raising chickens and ducks, while also making the expansion less noticeable and abrupt from the outside.

Lin Jian also told him: "This little bit of land is nothing. When the time comes, you just need to pay some money to the village public school according to the village rules."

Xie Songlin always seeks to be cautious when doing things. Even though Lin Jian said so, he still thinks it is better to make more preparations.

So, he decided to go all out and bought some land around here, thinking that even if there were any changes in the future, he would be prepared for any eventuality. After all, the family would definitely have more and more people in the future, so it would always be a good idea to leave some room so that there would be space if he wanted to build a house in the future.

After a busy period, Xie Songlin finally finished dealing with many matters related to the house renovation. So he confidently handed over the specific matters of the house renovation to Xie Dachun, and let him be responsible for the wages and hiring people for help.

After two days of waiting, Mr. Zhao sent over a dozen brand-new plows. This truly solved everyone's urgent need. With so many plows, everyone could take turns borrowing them. According to the current farming schedule, there was still enough time to ensure that every household could successfully complete their farming tasks without being delayed due to a lack of farm tools.

Although the plow was given away for free and loaned to everyone, in order to prevent any disputes, Xie Songlin specially prepared a deed before lending the plow out. He required every household to sign their name on the deed when borrowing the plow.

Xie Songlin's meticulously prepared contract clearly laid out every detail, most notably the usage period. Each household was required to specify a specific timeframe for borrowing the plows based on their own farming schedule, ensuring that there wouldn't be a situation where multiple households simultaneously competed for the plows, or that borrowing them for extended periods would affect others' use.

According to the contract, if the borrowed plow is damaged, whether due to improper operation or an accident, that party will need to make corresponding compensation.

The standard of compensation will be determined according to the degree of damage to the plow. If the damage is minor, you may only need to bear the repair costs. If the damage is serious and the plow cannot be used normally, then compensation must be made according to the actual value of the plow.

Facing these fellow villagers who had fled with him all the way, Xie Songlin was willing to lend a helping hand to them from the bottom of his heart. In this difficult world, only by supporting each other can we live a good life together, but at the same time he also understood that he must pay attention to maintaining some necessary sense of boundaries.

Excessive assistance may cause these fellow villagers to gradually develop a habit of relying on him, and because of someone's help, they may become lazy or ask for unlimited benefits, which is not what he wants to see.

The management of the land was mainly arranged by Xie Kang and Xie Tai. Although Xie Songlin had some understanding of farming, he had never plowed the fields himself.

Xie Songlin clenched his fist and said, "I have to go down and try it too."

Xie Wanxing blinked his eyes: ...

She was a person who only had theoretical knowledge but no practical experience. She had read a lot of books to make up for a lot of knowledge, but most of this knowledge was still on paper. She herself had almost no experience in actual farming operations.

This led to a situation where even if Xie Wanxing improved new agricultural tools based on the knowledge in the books, she herself could not truly understand the gap between the new and old agricultural tools.

She could only speculate theoretically, for example, the new agricultural tools might be more rational in design, less labor-intensive to use, or would improve farming efficiency.

However, she had no way of judging the actual operation conditions, such as whether the new agricultural tools could really play the expected advantages under different soil textures, crop types and weather conditions, based on her own experience.
