Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

The next morning, the Chen brothers and sisters arrived early, saying they had rested for the day and had done enough. After completing half a day's study, they returned to the Chen family together.

"Qing Ning, you're finally back. The village chief and the elders have been waiting for a while. Hello, Mr. Yu and Mr. Ma!"

The people in the house saw it at a glance and hurried out to see their smiling faces.

After greeting and exchanging greetings, the village chief and the elders eagerly asked, "I heard from your father this morning that you wanted to build a school for the village? Are you serious?"

"Grandpa Village Chief, seriously. And Grandpa Yu and Grandpa Ma are also willing to contribute to the school."

This is a big deal, so I don't dare to make any promises casually.

Upon hearing this, several people excitedly took a few steps forward and bowed solemnly to them.

The clan leader, who was over sixty years old, was moved to tears: "Good boy, you are so kind and righteous. Not only do you help your fellow villagers make money, but you also think about benefiting future generations. When I die, I will have the dignity to face the ancestors of the Chen family."

"Yes, yes, then we old guys will be able to stand up straight in front of our ancestors," the elders echoed.

"This is a major event for our entire Chenjia Village. We cannot let your family bear it alone. Every household must contribute, no matter how much." The village chief suppressed his excitement and spoke to both the Chen family and the elders.

Several elders nodded in agreement, saying it was reasonable.

Then the village chief bowed deeply to Mr. Yu and Mr. Ma. Not only did they help the villagers on a daily basis, but they also donated money to build a school in the village. The people of Chenjia Village will never forget such kindness.

In order to discuss matters such as building a school, a group of people set up tables and chairs in the yard after dinner and added writing materials.

Everyone agreed to choose the location of the school at the entrance of the village, where there happened to be a mountain range stretching down, not too high or too steep, and coming down slowly.

"Yu San, Chang Shui, you're good at carpentry and building houses. How about handing this school over to you?"

"Uncle Gao Jie, it's okay. Brother Yu San and I will be responsible. I'd like to trouble you to draw this type of thunder diagram." Changshui was naturally happy to be able to do something for the village.

"No trouble"

"Okay, okay~ Thank you again. Uncles, let's gather all the villagers at the village entrance and tell everyone the news." After saying that, the village chief and the clan leaders went to the village entrance.

After a while, the sound of a gong was heard, calling the villagers together. The Chen family did not go and let the village chief and clan leaders worry about it.

"Oh, there are so many things to do, I can't schedule them all." Chen Changjiang frowned, looking conflicted.

"Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to hire someone from outside." Chen Changshui has been silently calculating in his mind the materials, labor, time, etc.

"Start the school work as soon as possible. Prepare the mine maps and materials for the workshop in advance. Also, the new house. Oh, it will take a lot of people."

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to build a few more rooms next to my house. My grandchildren are coming to visit, so this is a very urgent matter." Mr. Ma mentioned the matter of building additional houses.

"Yes, we did overlook this matter. Just build four rooms to live in." Old Man Yu followed.

When they heard this, they realized that the task was indeed heavy, and it would be hard for Changshui and the others.

"Although the school is the most important, it doesn't need to be completed in a short time. Just build two rooms according to the thunder map first, and you can build the rest without rushing. We have to rush to build the additional rooms, and the time limit of more than a month is really tight."

"Yes, Brother Yu Wu is right. At worst, we can go find someone outside. Don't we have skilled craftsmen in the county who are responsible for building a new home? I'm afraid the money is a bit expensive, but if the price is reasonable, we can hire them and start the work together."

Chen Changjiang was considering the overall feasibility of the matter. He was afraid that these tasks could not be completed by just a few of them, so he would have to find someone to do it.

"I do know him. I'll go to the county later. It would be best if I could settle him down." Yu Qi often went in and out of the county, and he was a righteous and generous person who made the acquaintance of many people.

After several people discussed this for a while, Yu Qi drove away in the ox cart, while the remaining people discussed the pattern of building a house.

While they were discussing the style of the house, Qing Ning's brothers and sisters were huddled together, also discussing the style of their new home.

"Brothers and sisters, isn't the courtyard with four entrances a little too big?" Qing Ning picked up the pen and pondered. The current building looks grand, but the interior always feels small and cramped.

"No, there are regulations for people to build houses. The maximum number of houses is three. If there are more than three, they are not suitable for people to use." Chen Qingsong quickly objected.

Qing Ning looked confused. It turns out that even building a house has regulations. Okay~

"I don't mind as long as I have a place to stay."

"Yes, we will live in the same way as they build it, as long as there is enough room." The four brothers were all simple-minded. What else could they be picky about when they had a new house to live in?

Chen Qingning looked at the four of them and shook her head.

Looking at her two sisters, Qing Ke said, "I don't have any special requirements. I'll be happy as long as I have a new house to live in."

Qingzhu took over the conversation: "I was thinking that the house could be bigger, and then there would be a pharmacy next to it so that I could study medicine."

After they finished speaking, they all looked at Qing Ning. Qing Ning thought for a moment and said, "I want something bright enough to grow flowers, vegetables, and livestock, like this~like this."

As Qing Ning spoke, she drew the courtyard she envisioned on paper. A few people watched quietly from the side, observing how it resembled and yet differed from the courtyards built by the wealthy families.

For example, the eaves nowadays are all large eaves with brackets, which look broad and deep, but the one painted by Qingning is as shallow and high as the current thatched cottage, but it looks bright.

There is no gatehouse, only windows. After entering the gate, there is a path leading directly to the west side. On the west side, there is a large open space for growing vegetables and raising livestock. Half of it is marked out to build a pavilion and plant flowers.

The main house is on the right side of the passage after entering the door. Behind the second entrance hall is the third entrance hall, which is not much different.
