126 “Female Counterattack (H)” Chapter 125

015 Orion in the Mountains

Huo Yunshan quickly went to the town to hire a few masons. Since it was the busy farming season, he asked people in the village to take turns helping. There were also a few gangsters who were idle on weekdays and chose to help others to earn some copper coins during the busy farming season.

Although they don’t interact closely with each other on weekdays, this time he has a lot of neighbors who come to ask for help. After all, ordinary farmers can only go to the market to buy some meat in the town during this season. If you help Huo Yunshan, you can not only get a knife of meat, but also some money.

This is how the construction of the new house began.

From site selection and leveling to material collection and mold making, everything was done in an orderly manner.Men carry water and mud, and women mix hay and water into the mud, then pour it into wooden brick molds and beat them into shape.Chen De, a respected old man in the village, had already settled the matter. In the next ten days, the weather would be beautiful and the sun would shine brightly, so the problem would be solved.

In the first few days, the masons went out early and came back late. No matter how fast they walked, it would take two hours. Later, in order to meet the construction deadline, they made do with paving the floor in their homes.The hut cannot be soundproofed, so the two of them can only sleep opposite each other at night. Huo Yunshan even complained about this, but Ning Wan glanced away.

When it comes to building a house, of course the sooner it is completed, the better.Ning Wan took on the heavy responsibility of cooking for more than a dozen people. Now, under Huo Yunshan’s guidance, she is already very skilled at making fire and cooking.Perhaps the extra points she added to her “physical fitness” had an effect. No matter how tired she was the day before, she would always feel refreshed the next day after a night’s rest. She said she couldn’t be more satisfied!

There was also something that made her uncomfortable, that is, among the people who helped, there were several sanctimonious people who humiliated and ravaged the original person in the original plot.Needless to say, Chen Ergou was full of anger. He was not a good person at first glance, but he bullied the weak and feared the strong. Huo Yunshan’s legs softened as soon as he glared at him. He was extremely honest.The other two were more hidden, such as the respected old man Chen Deqing and the honest butcher Liu Mingzheng. They were both very important people in the village, so Ning Wan kept an extra thought. Even if it was hot and dirty, she would wrap herself up tightly.

At this large-scale social event, Ning Wan also made a friend, the wife of the Li family whose husband went out to join the army.The two of them, one fierce and the other gentle, always kept embroidery needles in their hands when they were free. After exchanging embroidery samples several times, they became convinced of each other and kept in touch with each other.The most important reason was probably that Ning Wan felt that her husband had been away for three years. Although there was a subsidy, a weak woman took care of her mother-in-law alone, which was quite similar to her original situation, and there was a sense of sympathy for her.

In just over a month, three brick houses have taken shape, just fifty meters in front of the fenced courtyard, facing south, with all the mud brick beams in place. They are just waiting for Huo Yunshan to temporarily hire horses to pull back the tiles from the neighboring village.Four masons were enough for the rest. After dinner, the helpers went home one after another, leaving only the Li family’s wife to accompany Ning Wan, holding the soles of her shoes.

“Yunshan’s big feet are especially worthless shoes. If I don’t make two more pairs, I’m afraid he will have to go barefoot in the winter.”

Although it was a complaint, it sounded a bit intimate when Ning Wan said it. If she wanted to put aside the past, the Li family’s wife would definitely reply a few words, but today, she seemed to have something on her mind, burying her head in pulling out the thread.

Ning Wan asked subconsciously: “Sister, what’s wrong with you?”

“Ah?” Mrs. Li’s wife looked up blankly and said “Oh” again. A drop of blood had condensed on her white index finger, and she quickly put her finger into her mouth.

“Sister, are you okay?”

The Li family’s wife smiled softly: “It’s okay. If you take the shoes, someone will wear them. I have made more than ten pairs of cloth shoes, and they are all stained with dust.”

“Oh, it turns out that the little lady misses a man.” Ning Wan joked with a smile. Seeing that she was thin-skinned, she asked, “When will Brother Li come back to see you?”

“The letter came the day before yesterday… saying that I will go back to my hometown to visit relatives next month…”

“Wow, that’s a happy event!”

“Well…”
