Chapter 481 Construction Officially Started
Each family's land is mainly on the south side, and the land on the south side is still vacant.
When everyone rushed over, they saw that the entire field was covered with weeds.
When the old village chief led everyone to divide the land, he only dug out the weeds at the boundaries of each plot of land to make it easier to spread the white ash.
So when everyone came over, they saw that the entire field of weeds was divided into different small pieces by these gaps.
Without waiting for everyone to look, the old village chief called each family over to draw lots.
Last time it was Qin Lang who drew the lots, this time it was Lu Qingqing's turn.
Carefully turning over her palm and looking at the big word '12' on the signature, Lu Qingqing began to search.
The land on the south side is large, so after drawing lots, each family will take the number they drew and run to claim the land they have received.
The entire field was scattered with people looking for land.
When one family found their number, the people nearby heard it approaching and hurried over to that place.
When Lu Qingqing went over, she found that the land she was allocated this time was next to Zhuzi's house on the left.
When Zhuzi's wife saw that it was her who was next to her, she came over with a smile and took her arm.
"Daya, our houses are not far from each other, and our land is right next to each other.
From now on, we can help each other with anything."
As she was speaking, she saw Lu Laosan and his wife coming towards this place.
Zhuzi's wife has always disliked these two people. She was afraid that they would live next to her house, so she kept secretly glancing at them out of the corner of her eyes to see where they were going.
When she got closer and heard the two of them muttering "Thirteen", she suddenly looked at Lu Qingqing with some sympathy in her eyes.
Daya is really unlucky. She has to deal with two troublemakers like Lu Laosan. I'm afraid she will be in trouble again in the future.
Lu Qingqing was also secretly cursing her bad luck. If she had known this would happen, she would have let Qin Lang draw lots!
But the matter was set and could not be changed, and soon Lu Laosan and the other man stood in the field to the right of Lu Qingqing.
When the two saw Lu Qingqing looking at them, Sun Cui snorted and turned her head away, no longer looking at them.
Lu Laosan looked at her expressionlessly, then shifted his attention to the field.
Lu Qingqing silently decided that when leveling the land, she must bury a few more boundary stones between the two families' lands.
Based on her understanding of these two people, she would find a way to take advantage of them even if there was no advantage.
Not to mention, these days land is the livelihood of farmers.
Although she was not afraid of the two of them causing trouble, it was better to save some trouble.
Soon, each family had found their own land.
The men in the village who have been tending to the crops all year round couldn't bear to see so many weeds in the fields and have started clearing them.
The woman was also busy with her children.
Children are the most energetic. They are running all over the fields, picking all kinds of new wild flowers or finding strange little insects.
Lu Qingqing saw that Qin Lang had picked up a hoe and started weeding, and then looked at the large field of weeds in front of her, and couldn't help but silently miss modern herbicides.
If it were in modern times, a few bottles of herbicide could eliminate 90% of these weeds, so there would be no need to work hard weeding under the scorching sun.
But this is just a thought.
This land belongs to her and Qin Lang, and we can't just let that silly boy suffer alone.
Lu Qingqing resigned herself to her fate, picked up the hoe, and began her life of working hard in the fields.
During this period, Qin Lang persuaded her to go home several times, but she refused.
They worked until the end of the afternoon, when other women in the fields began to return with their children.
She picked up the hoe and returned to the camp with the other women.
To get back to the foot of the mountain, one has to pass through the village. The women got acquainted with many women in the village while buying groceries in the afternoon.
At this time, women from the village greeted them from time to time, and the women in the team also responded with smiles.
It seems that there is harmony on the surface.
After returning to the foot of the mountain, the women were not idle either and began to prepare meals for tomorrow.
According to Lu Tianming's arrangement, everyone in their team and the helpers from the village will all follow the plans of the Zhao family team and the Sanqing team tomorrow.
As for the matter of daily meals, the old village chief's wife had already discussed it with the old village chief.
The entire team was divided into two teams according to the different houses they built.
The families living in half-brick and half-mud houses and the families living in large blue-brick and tiled houses respectively handed over their grain to the old village chief's wife.
At this moment, she directed the women on both sides to prepare meals in advance.
Of course, the main thing to be made here is two-grain pancakes.
The women in each family are used to cooking and are very skillful.
He chatted all kinds of nonsense, but his hands never stopped working.
Soon, the golden and fragrant two-grain pancakes came out of the pan, and then piled higher and higher.
The women didn't finish preparing the dry food until the men came back.
It was dinner time again, and the women used the remaining fire to make a few pancakes for dinner.
They didn't even have time to take a break and started busying themselves with washing vegetables and preparing to stir-fry them.
Vegetables are cheap nowadays, so if you eat more of them, you can save some food.
Therefore, almost every household is cooking.
It is said to be stir-fried, but it can actually be described as stewing.
Some more particular families may scoop out half a spoonful of lard.
People who don’t care about food just cook their vegetables with water.
But even so, the men from each family ate with gusto.
On the way to escape famine, they had to eat dry biscuits and even the bitter wild vegetables could not fill them up.
These delicious vegetables are even more popular.
It was not until it was completely dark that everyone rested.
Qin Lang worked all afternoon today and sweated a lot.
After dinner, I followed a few fellow apprentices and went downstream to take a shower before coming back.
When I came back, the fresh scent of bath beans was still noticeable on my body.
The clean smell that permeates the whole body really makes people feel happy.
It was inconvenient for Lu Qingqing to go to the river to take a bath, so she got into the carriage after dark.
I went to the space, put some soap nuts on it, and took a nice bath.
After washing off the fumes and sweat on his body, as well as some of his fatigue, he returned to the tent.
The two fell asleep in the tent filled with the faint aroma of soapberries and had a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Village Chief Wu and his two sons led a group of men from Baoshan Town over.
At this time, the Zhao family team had already arrived, but the Sanqing team had not yet arrived.
Seeing this, Lu Tianming asked Lu Tianxin to lead the men in the team and follow the arrangements of Team Leader Zhao.
After greeting the village head Wu, he led the men from Baoshan Town who came to help, and also worked according to the arrangements of the team leader Zhao.
At first, Mr. Zhao was frightened by the scene, but after all, he had built half-brick and half-mud houses so many times that he knew the whole process by heart and soon calmed down.
According to the normal house building process, he began to direct everyone to work.
At the beginning, everyone didn't cooperate well, and there was either a problem here or something wrong there.
Team leader Zhao ran here and there, giving orders at the top of his voice, sweating profusely from anxiety.
Fortunately, most of the men working there are quite familiar with half-brick and half-mud houses.
It didn't take long for me to react.
Gradually, after a period of adjustment, everyone cooperated better and better.
