The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

She muttered quietly, feeling a little confused.

Xie Xiaofang, who happened to be passing by, overheard, "Auntie, don't you know? Not only do you have to pay for cutting down trees in Liangzhou, but you also have to hand over valuable wild animals like tigers and lions to the government."

She explained, trying to clear the other person's confusion.

After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe frowned slightly.

“No wonder there are so many tigers on Tongshan Mountain and no one cares about them.”

She thought to herself that she understood why the villagers would rather farm than do things that seemed to make a lot of money.

"Oh, I don't really know about that."

Afterwards, she just responded casually and prepared to go up the mountain for a walk, but was stopped by Aunt Song.

"Jinhe, don't worry about this kind of work, just let them do it."

The old man spoke gently but firmly.

As she spoke, she also took out a bag of silver from home.

Jiang Jinhe took it and looked at it, estimating that it was at least thirty taels. He couldn't help but have some questions in his mind - they had been together almost all these days, where did the money come from?

"Jinhe, go find the village chief and pay for the wood."

Aunt Song didn't explain much but urged her to leave quickly because she knew it would be time for dinner soon.

Looking around, Jiang Jinhe realized that he was indeed the only person in the family who had relatively free time.

At this time, she found that her father had taken her brothers to the mountains, and her sisters were collecting firewood to prepare cooking, and even her younger sister Yu Yu was busy in the kitchen.

Okay, let’s do as Auntie says now.

As for the question about money, I'll ask about it later.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinhe walked towards the village chief's house.

When she completed the task of paying for the timber and wanted to catch some small fish on the way back, she found that the stream in front of her was unusual: the water was crystal clear and she could see the bottom, but it seemed to be empty.

If you get closer and smell it carefully, you can faintly smell a pungent smell of sulfur.

"Why is this stream so strange?"

She reached her hand into the water to test the temperature and was surprised to find that it was not as warm as she had imagined but rather quite cool.

"It's so weird!"

Jiang Jinhe said to himself.

To be on the safe side, she didn't take the fish out.

After all, before you fully understand the situation, any unreasonable action may cause unnecessary trouble.

If the river hadn't seen a single fish in decades, yet she easily caught several large fish on her first try, it would be hard not to be skeptical and even suspicious.

Afterwards, she went to a mysterious space, took a nice bath, and felt a lot more refreshed.

Then I enjoyed a sumptuous meal, which not only filled my stomach but also stored enough energy for the heavy work I would face later.

Before leaving, she specially picked some fresh eggs and a few tender chickens to take away.

For the house building project that is about to begin, supplementing nutrition is very important.

Only by eating better can we have more energy to complete the construction tasks faster, and thus say goodbye to the life of sleeping in the wild every night like a savage.

When I returned to the village carrying a bag full of food, as expected, Aunt Song immediately came up to me and started bombarding me with caring greetings.

"Oh my, Jin He, why are you going up the mountain again? Didn't I tell you not to walk too far at night? It's getting colder outside now, don't tire yourself out!"

When Song Yuyu, who was standing by, saw the eggs and chicken in her hands, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Look, Third Sister-in-law is living such a comfortable life! She can harvest so many delicious foods with just one trip!"

As he spoke, he excitedly took the bag from Jinhe's hand and carefully placed it on the table beside him.

Just when the atmosphere was full of joy, Song Wenqin happened to return to the yard carrying a thick and heavy piece of wood.

When he saw the scene of the chicken being prepared to be slaughtered, his expression immediately changed and he looked very nervous and anxious.

He strode forward and pulled Jiang Jinhe aside, reminding her in a serious yet gentle tone, "Jinhe, I remember telling you many times before, don't go hunting for rabbits or chickens by yourself anymore."

Faced with Song Wenqin's usual attitude, Jiang Jinhe felt a little puzzled: Why was this man always so persistent in stopping her from doing this activity which was neither dangerous nor complicated?

Wouldn’t the spoils from every hunt eventually become a delicious meal they could enjoy together?

"We're planning to build a new house, so how can we not eat some good food to increase our strength? Besides, there are so many animals in the mountains. Even if I don't catch them, they will be hunted by others sooner or later."

Hearing Jiang Jinhe's response, Song Wenqin, who had been frowning, seemed to become even more serious.

"No! I really can't bear to see you getting thinner and thinner..."

At this moment, he had quietly made up his mind that no matter how busy he was, he would take time to accompany his wife and participate in the cooking process, and try his best to share the responsibility of going out to find food, to ensure that Jiang Jinhe would no longer continue to consume her already not very strong body due to hard work.

Despite this, due to poor communication, the two people's respective ideas were not truly conveyed to each other, and there were huge misunderstandings between them.

Not long after dinner, the father and son quickly gathered all the wood needed to build the house.

To expedite the relocation, the father, the head of the family, decisively suggested, "Since everyone's well fed and watered, and the weather forecast says temperatures will drop significantly tomorrow, why not start construction tonight? Having a warm, comfortable place to live sooner rather than later would be disastrous if inclement weather were to occur!"

The other members in the room all nodded in agreement with this proposal, and thus a simple but warm-atmosphere small construction site was officially established in the yard.

According to the traditional methods in the village, most families choose to use adobe materials to build their homes, which are not only low in cost but also have good thermal insulation effects.

First, they needed to select strong, durable wood as the frame support structure on both sides of the wall. Then, they placed cylindrical tree trunks approximately 50 centimeters apart and firmly fixed them to the ground to prevent them from shifting. Finally, they added wet mud mixed in appropriate proportions and compacted it layer by layer...

After filling to a certain height, it has to be repeatedly hammered with smooth stones to make the surface flat and firm. The whole process seems simple but it actually tests the workers' patience and technical ability.

However, I believe that with the concerted efforts of the whole family, a solid and beautiful house will soon stand before everyone, bringing the long-lost sense of security and belonging to the family.

This process is repeated over and over until all the walls are basically built.

Although this process is tedious, it is very effective and will make subsequent work easier.
