After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

She still took the bag of silver. Although it was just renovation, it was almost the same as rebuilding.

"This is the hall, and this is the chicken coop..." Lin Chengfeng glanced at Shen Yunwan's profile, and his face became hot again.

Shen Yunwan estimated the silver cost for building the house and found that it would cost about 20 taels.

The villagers wanted to repair her house, but she didn't want to let them work for nothing.

I went to the village head's house and briefly explained the situation.

"Village head, please help me find some strong men who can build houses.

Experiential workers get 35 wen a day, and others get 25 wen a day, with three meals included. What do you think?"

"Why do we need so many? They are all from the same village..."

"Village head, we still have to pay according to the market price. Otherwise, I won't dare to charge for medical treatment when someone comes to see me in the future." She had inquired about it, and it was probably this price.

The head of the village did not insist any more and nodded in agreement.

"Yunwan, I can go cook." Qiu Mei volunteered.

Building a house requires the owner to provide meals, and Yun Wan is definitely unable to handle it alone.

"I can go and help too." The village head's wife agreed.

"Mom, you stay at home and take care of the baby." Qiu Mei smiled and arranged her mother-in-law's work.

"Okay, I'll take care of the baby. I'll pick a capable woman for Yun Wan. Building a new house is a big deal, and it'll require a lot of handymen."

The third day of July.

It is advisable to start construction.

It was a sunny day.

Many people were busy at the end of the village.

"Yun Wan, add some sweet potatoes and whole grains to the rice, soak the rice for a longer time, and add more water when steaming it. Even if our family is wealthy, we can't afford to eat so much rice in one meal."

Qiu Mei pulled Shen Yunwan to a corner and spoke quietly.

Although she and Lin Chengyan came here to help, they would eat together. But if the food was so good on the first day, it would be difficult to lower the standard later.

Moreover, building a house is not a matter of one or two days. If it goes on for such a long time, the family’s savings will be exhausted before the house is completed.

Shen Yunwan, "Sister-in-law, classmate Cheng Feng lent him some money, it's enough for him."

In fact, she had stored a lot of food in the space, which was enough to feed not only these dozen villagers, but also the entire Ping'an Village villagers for a few days.

"You really don't know how to live." Qiu Mei felt a little disappointed.

Looking at the white rice being steamed in pot after pot, Qiu Mei felt so heartbroken that she felt like she was about to bleed.

He calculated how much food he had left and planned to give some to her later.

"Auntie Sun, cut all the meat." Auntie Sun put half of the pork back into the bamboo basket. This much pork was enough for stewing.

There are already three pounds of meat in the pot, and it’s for this meal.

Add some beans and potatoes and stew them together. The aroma will make your tongue fall off.

At Yun Wan's insistence, Aunt Sun cut up all the meat in the basket.

Shen Yunwan cooked the dish herself, a pot full of braised pork with beans, and then she also fried some cucumbers.

Although there are only two dishes, it is no less delicious than the New Year’s Eve dinner.

"Brother, come and have dinner!"

The villagers had already smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, and they were so greedy that they were a little absent-minded while working.

In the yard, there was a bowl of solid rice and a pot of brown-red stewed meat, with large chunks of fat all around.

A pot of cucumbers with some white garlic sprinkled on it is actually mouth-watering.

Not only the men, but the women beside them couldn't help but glance at the food on the table.

But they didn't dare to go forward to scoop rice, let alone look directly at the dishes in the basin. Shen Yunwan had no choice but to do it herself, scooping a large bowl full of rice for them, and then pouring a spoonful of meat and soup on it.

"Brother Cheng Yan, take it."

"Pick your own vegetables."

"Brother Lin Mao, this is for you."

……

The women came forward to help, poured themselves some rice, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"Mother, today's braised pork with beans is really delicious."

"What is there that you don't like to eat?" Lin Xiangxi rolled his eyes at Lin Xiangbei.

"As long as it's made by my mother, I love it..."

"Afeng, do you eat such delicious meals every day?" Lin Chengyan was holding the bowl, and talking did not affect him from eating with big mouthfuls.

The other villagers looked at Lin Chengfeng.

Lin Chengfeng gnawed politely on a string bean, "Not really, Yun Wan's braised pork is even better than this braised pork."

When he showed off, he earned a lot of envy.

I used to envy him for being able to find a free wife for myself.

Now I envy him even more for having such a great wife.

It turns out that people’s destinies are different.

The men put down their bowls after eating one, and did not ask for more rice or dishes.

"Brother Lin Mao, can you give me some more rice?"

Shen Yunwan looked at the man who had finished his bowl in an instant, and took the bowl from him.

"No need, Yunwan, that's enough..." Brother Mao stuttered as he looked at the bowl full of rice and meat in the woman's hand.

"Brother and uncles, there is still so much food, please don't leave any. We will have other dishes tonight." As he said this, he handed the bowl to Lin Mao.

The others looked at each other and asked, "How about having another bowl?"

Even if it is the same dish, the taste is very different between the one cooked at home and the one cooked by Shen Yunwan.

They had never eaten such delicious meat.

Otherwise, I won’t take Yunwan’s wages.

Thinking of this, the men came forward to get their own food and dishes, and finally poured out the little remaining soup.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they all worked hard.

In the evening, Shen Yunwan and her sisters-in-law prepared noodle soup.

"Yun Wan, you've already put twenty eggs in there!"

Aunt Sun looked at the eggshells in the trash can with some pain.

The soup is cooked with pork bones in the pot, and the soup is boiling in the pot, emitting a rich aroma.

Bones are not worth much. I bought so much meat that the butcher at the pig head stall in town gave me a set of pig bones for free.

Fry dozens of eggs.

A big basin full of it.

I pulled nearly ten pounds of noodles and put them into the soup, added some rapeseed and chopped green onions, and a big pot of noodles was ready.

Each bowl was filled with noodles and topped with a fried egg.

It increases one's appetite at first sight.

I had already had a full meal at noon, and was thinking of skipping dinner and just having a quick bite when I got home.

But Yunwan had already prepared dinner.

The men touched their heads embarrassedly, but their mouths were honest as they slurped the noodles in big mouthfuls.

There was also a fried egg in the bowl, which was a rare treat even during the Chinese New Year.

They are the pillars of the family, with elderly parents and young children to take care of.

They work the hardest, but they leave the best food for the old and young at home.

Who would put a whole egg in his own bowl?

Now, I came to build a house for Shen Yunwan's family, and I had such delicious food on the first day.

They were all a little embarrassed.

When they had almost finished eating, Shen Yunwan took out a string of copper coins.

"Yun Wan, I can't take your money anymore."

"That's right, the two meals we were given far outweigh the work we did."

"If we take your money again, we won't be able to continue."

……

Shen Yunwan insisted on stuffing the money into their mouths, "This is the agreed wages. If you don't take it, I won't dare let you come tomorrow."

After hearing what the woman said, the people in the yard did not refuse.
