Chapter 51 The House Starts Construction
Xia Mu was so frightened that he trembled and retreated backwards. Suddenly, he remembered the way Xia Qingqing held the dagger last time, and he collapsed to the ground again.
Xia Qingqing ignored him and walked straight to Huang's side, squatted down, put the dagger in her hand, and said, "If you want to commit suicide, a knife is faster..."
Xia Qingqing held Huang's hand as she spoke, placed the dagger on her neck, and continued, "This knife has been opened. It's very sharp and won't hurt..."
The cold dagger was pressed against Huang's neck. She was so scared that she kept shaking her head: "No, no, no..."
She wanted to break free from Xia Qingqing's arm, but found that she had no strength at all and could only let the dagger cut into her flesh bit by bit.
hiss!
It hurts!
"Qingqing, mother was wrong. I will never trouble you again..." Huang gave up struggling and begged for mercy, "Please let me go..."
Xia Qingqing stood up, put away the dagger, turned around and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone continue..."
Such a bloodthirsty scene caused a huge shock among the villagers. Xia Qingqing was as terrifying as the King of Hell.
They began to swear in their hearts that they would work hard and never offend her in the future.
Xia Qingqing originally planned to complete the registration in three to five days, but ended up recruiting all the people in just one morning.
The bricks, tiles, and lumber for the house were all there the next morning. Xia Tiezhu was unloading the oxcarts, and the workers had arrived surprisingly early on the first day.
Bai Erniang, Baihe, and Xu Xiuxiu were all there early to make lunch.
The three of them had a clear division of labor. Some washed the dishes borrowed from the village, some washed and cut vegetables, and some cleaned seafood and meat.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Suddenly, a figure walked in from outside the yard, took a stool from the yard and sat down next to Bai Er Niang who was washing dishes.
"Xia Baozhu? What are you doing?" Bai Erniang's face was full of questions, but Xia Baozhu said nothing, just rolled up her sleeves and started washing the dishes diligently.
When Xia Qingqing came in, she saw Xia Baozhu washing dishes vigorously and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Only then did Xia Baozhu raise her head and said expressionlessly, "I want to work here."
“It’s full.”
"I don't want wages..."
Xia Baozhu lowered her head and returned to work. Xia Qingqing said speechlessly, "Whatever you want."
"Qingqing, white flour is too expensive. You can just have corn cakes and steamed bread for lunch," Bai Erniang stood up and walked to Xia Qingqing's side, persuading her, "In the past, when building houses, the employers' families basically only had pickled cabbage and sweet potatoes, and the better ones would have cornmeal cakes."
"Make some of each: lard-fried flatbreads, corn pancakes, and vegetable dumplings," Xia Qingqing said, looking at Bai Erniang. "If we eat well, everyone will work harder."
She didn't feel sorry for the flour. The bag of flour in the space was recycled and didn't cost any money at all.
But cornmeal costs money.
However, using too much white flour at the beginning will be too eye-catching, so just do it little by little.
"The stove is ready and can be used." Huo Gang called out from outside the yard. Bai Erniang agreed, nodded to Xia Qingqing, and turned to go out of the yard.
It is very easy to build a temporary stove when doing things in the countryside, so that you can cook at the stove at home and outside at the same time.
Today is the first day of construction. Many women and elderly people in the village who have nothing to do have come to watch the fun. Some even brought their own small stools and sat at the door to chat. It was very lively.
"Qingqing, it's the first day of construction for your family. How is the food?" An aunt from the village stood in front of the stove, looking at the empty pot and asked.
"Auntie, you'll know if you sit for a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xiuxiu came out with a large basin of white flour, which immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Oh my god! So much white flour?"
"I haven't eaten white flour for two years, woo woo woo..."
The chattering of the surrounding villagers attracted the workers to look outside the yard.
"Boss Xia, please give us white flour today. I even have enough energy to lay the foundation!" A man shouted, and the others followed suit.
Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "Work hard, there's still meat to be had today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the men worked even harder, and the people around them were envious.
The sun slowly rose to the center of the sky, bringing warmth to everyone. Xia Tiezhu had been watching intently all morning, fearing that something might go wrong and delay Xia Qingqing's progress.
Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with fragrance. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and turned to look at the busy figure in the kitchen. He asked, "Sister-in-law Xiuxiu, what kind of food is this? Why does it smell so good?"
Xu Xiuxiu came out of the kitchen carrying a basin of water, raised her hand and poured the water into the yard, and replied, "This is the big pot dish made by Qingqing."
Everyone looked at them in confusion. They had eaten big pot dishes before, so how could it be so delicious?
As she was speaking, Mrs. Ding called out, "Get ready for dinner!"
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and walked over. Most of them hadn't even had breakfast in the morning and were just waiting for this meal.
Soon, a big pot of steaming hot food was brought out, and everyone immediately gathered around with changed looks in their eyes.
"So much meat?! No wonder it smells so good!"
As soon as Xia Tiezhu finished speaking, Ding brought out another pot of food and placed it on the ground.
There are all kinds of seafood in it, and the aroma of red peppers and the taste of seafood blend together, making the smell irresistible.
"Pancakes are coming!"
Bai Erniang placed a bowl of pancakes and steamed cornbread on the ground and said, "Don't just stand there, eat quickly!"
Everyone stopped daydreaming and immediately took action, picking up their bowls and chopsticks to eat.
Soon, the courtyard was filled with people squatting inside and outside the yard, some even sitting on the ground. Even though the environment was not good, they ate heartily with their bowls in hand, their faces showing extremely bright smiles.
"Xia Baozhu, stop working and go eat." Bai Erniang glanced at Xia Baozhu and said, "We'll clean up the dishes later."
Xia Baozhu didn't say anything. She stood up, served the dishes, took a corn tortilla, and hid in a corner to eat.
Her back twitched and tears fell into the bowl and were swallowed along with the food.
Xia Qingqing saw this scene from a distance, and just as she turned around, she saw Su Xi coming back.
"The goods will be arriving soon, please prepare yourself."
When Xia Qingqing heard the news, she immediately became excited and put everything else behind her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to be out for a bit," she turned to look at Xu Xiuxiu, "By the way, give Susu's roast chicken to her quickly, or she'll make a scene soon."
