After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Early the next morning, Zhao Huanxi cleaned up the area around the wasteland, thinking that he would have a place to put the bricks and tiles when they arrived.

Also, the clan leader will come over at noon to help choose a site, and the village chief will also come over to help survey the foundation. These were discussed last night when I went to the village with Old Lady Tian and Old Master Lu to meet people.

After having breakfast for a while, he handed the stew prepared in the kitchen to Xiao Pan to watch over the heat.

As soon as he left the house, he saw a team of horse-drawn carriages carrying goods approaching the village entrance. Leading the team was none other than the shopkeeper Wang, who was asking about Zhao Huanxi's Jiade residence as he walked.

"Oh my god, has this Zhao girl become rich? She can actually afford to build a blue brick house?"

"Who knows? I followed Lu Gaoshun and his wife to meet the village elders yesterday."

"I heard she even brought meat and brown sugar. How could the Lu family's eldest son divorce her? Her family was so poor they couldn't even afford food, and it's only been a few days?"

"I see Miss Zhao running to town every day. Could it be that she's doing some kind of work to earn money there?"

"Shh~ Let me tell you..." Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and whispered to the onlookers.

"Zhang Yanzi, is this true? Don't talk nonsense. I don't think that Zhao girl is that kind of person!"

"Who knows? You can only know a person's face but not his heart."

Standing upstairs, Zhao Huanxi could only see a few women quietly pointing and talking about his house. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but when he saw Mrs. Zhang among them, Zhao Huanxi felt that they must be saying something bad.

Seeing that Manager Wang was getting closer and closer to his home, Zhao Huanxi walked a short distance to meet him and led the convoy to the open space he had prepared, and the guys began to help unload the goods.

This was agreed upon with Manager Wang in the store. He would deliver and unload the goods, and Zhao Huanxi would pay him an extra tael of silver. After all, the village was so far away from the town, so Zhao Huanxi agreed after thinking about it.

He made a large pot of the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar paste he had bought, took out a few bowls and poured one for each of the waiters, then sat down and chatted with Manager Wang for a long time.

By noon, Zhao Huanxi had counted the quantity and paid the payment to Manager Wang, and the convoy slowly left.

Zhao Huanxi quickly checked the heat of the large pig's trotters in the pot. He had stuffed a few children into the kitchen to watch the fire. Now the pig's trotters were stewed until they melted in the mouth.

At this time, there was a knock at the door. The clan leader and the village chief were at the door with their servants. Old Lady Tian was also there to chat with them. Zhao Huanxi hurriedly invited them in. Old Lady Tian came up to Zhao Huanxi and whispered:

"Have you cooked yet? Your father thinks it's not good for you to meet a man who's not your friend alone, so I hurried over here. I think your father will be here soon."

"It's ready, just two more dishes are missing."

After inviting the two to sit down, Zhao Huanxi quickly picked up an egg and brought it to the table in the yard. At this time, Old Master Lu also greeted a few people at the door, and the three of them sat around to form a small table.

Zhao Huanxi had already moved the table and benches into the yard, fearing that the kitchen was too small for everyone to sit on.

At this time, the last dish of stir-fried vegetables was served on the table, and rice was served to the people. The three of them ate and chatted in the middle of the yard.

"Huanxi, you're spending too much. You and your mother should save more." The clan leader said to Zhao Huanxi with a smile. Although he said that, when hiring someone to do something, the more grand the dish, the more important the other party is. So the clan leader was very happy to say this.

"Grandpa, clan leader, uncle, village leader, dad, you guys can eat first. I'm a woman and I don't understand those Feng Shui things. I hope you can help me with some advice."

"Happy girl, go and eat quickly. We will go and take a look later." The village chief also looked very happy.

After tasting the dishes made by Zhao Huanxi, I have to say that they are several times more delicious than those made by my wife and daughter-in-law. This Zhao girl's cooking skills are really good.

Several people were chatting and laughing at the table, and the women and girls in the kitchen ate up all the dishes that had been distributed earlier. Old Mrs. Tian couldn't help nodding and praising Zhao Huanxi's cooking skills.

Although there were only three dishes, Zhao Huanxi ordered large portions of them. When Zhao Huanxi went to clean up the dishes, he found that there was only some soup left at the bottom of the basin.

Leaving the pots and pans to Old Lady Tian to clean up, Zhao Huanxi followed a few old men to the land he had just bought.

"Zhao girl, you bought all this land?" The clan leader seemed a little incredulous. On the one hand, a little girl could afford to buy such a large piece of land, but on the other hand, most of the land was not suitable for cultivation.

"Yes, Grandpa Clan Leader, please help me see which piece of land has good feng shui for building a house."

"You have a pretty good eye, girl. This piece of land can't be used for farming, but it's perfect for building a house. It's surrounded by mountains to the north and faces water to the west. Your house should face south and back to the north. Build it on..."

The patriarch took a few steps forward and touched the ground below with his hand.

"Here, as the main gate, you bring the blueprint."

Zhao Huanxi handed the drawing to the clan leader.

The clan leader took it in his hand and examined it for a moment, then said excitedly, "You drew this blueprint very well. This is the gate, that is the central hall, and that is the kitchen. Hmm, once this house is built, I guarantee that your family will prosper and prosperity will come to you."

Zhao Huanxi was not surprised to hear the clan leader's words. In her previous life, she knew some of the most basic knowledge of Feng Shui, but it was not very accurate. Now, hearing the clan leader's praise, she instantly felt relieved.

The clan leader pointed out the approximate location to the village chief, who took his tools, scooped up a piece of soil, and examined it. He then repeated the same method in several other locations. Finally, after checking the entire area, he concluded that it was fine, very fine. The soil here was compacted, and the house would be stable, with no risk of collapse.

Zhao Huanxi took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago and stuffed one into each of them. The two old men tried to refuse, but Zhao Huanxi explained that it was a token of his appreciation, so they accepted it, said goodbye, and went home.

When Zhao Huanxi followed Old Master Lu home, it was almost dusk and the old couple did not stay for dinner. Before leaving, Old Master Lu said that the wood could be delivered in two days at most, but there was no news about the main beam yet, but there was no need to rush.

Zhao Huanxi wanted to go into the mountains tomorrow morning to see Brother Tai and Xiaoqing. After all, they would be very busy with the house renovations and probably wouldn't be able to go into the mountains for a long time.

Early in the morning of the second day, after taking care of things at home, Zhao Huanxi carried a basket and went into the mountains.

"Brother Tai~Xiaoqing~"

"Huanhuan! Huanhuan!" The big tiger jumped out of the woods and rubbed and turned towards Zhao Huanxi.

"Immortal!" A big green snake was hovering above his head.

Zhao Huanxi touched Tai Ge's head and decided to take today as a day off to play with Tai Ge and the others for a whole day.

"Huanhuan, why did you only come today? I almost stared at the pond until it became a hole."

"Hahahahaha, Brother Tai, you're so funny. I've been very busy lately and I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the mountains in the short term. You guys have to take care of yourselves."

Zhao Huanxi looked at Tai Ge's newly grown belly and felt that his worries were unnecessary.

"That green snake is very useful and has done a lot for me. I think I should recruit more followers so that I can rule the forest in the future."

"Then I'll give your gang a name. How about calling it the 'Tiger Head Gang'?"

"hum"

A man, a tiger and a snake walked slowly in the woods, picking up some mushrooms and wild vegetables along the way. When they reached a flat place, Zhao Huanxi found a shade under a tree and sat down to rest for a while.

From here you can see many unknown flowers blooming on the opposite mountain, which embellish the green mountain beautifully.

Brother Tai was lying on the side to rest, and Xiaoqing was curled up in a ball, looking at Zhao Huanxi and spitting out her tongue.

Zhao Huanxi looked at the scenery and chatted with the two animals intermittently. Before he knew it, he leaned against the furry Tai Ge and fell silent.

Brother Tai felt that Zhao Huanxi had stopped moving and only heard the sound of even breathing, so he closed his eyes and took a nap.
