Chapter 313 You Shouldn't Offend Her
The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao went to the old house, and Liu Mingyue went with her. Xie Zhili was placing firewood in the yard. Xie Jiaojiao looked around and saw that the yard was full of firewood. In the past, Xie Zhishu and his family had planted green vegetables near their house, which looked like a breath of life. The foundation of the house had been tidied out by him a long time ago. Xie Jiaojiao looked over and saw exactly three rooms.
"Why are you here so early?"
Liu Mingyue hurried forward: "Thank you, brother. I will help you."
Xie Zhili looked at her feeling a little embarrassed. Ever since Sun Ruhua had said those words to them, there had been an indescribable atmosphere between them.
Liu Mingyue looked up at Xie Zhili, then lowered her head again.
Xie Zhili was also a little embarrassed.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't want to break the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, but the sun was about to come out and the worker would be here by then.
"Cough cough..." Xie Jiaojiao coughed twice.
Xie Zhili blushed immediately and walked up to Xie Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Xie Jiaojiao pretended to cough twice before speaking: "Well, I just took a look. The remaining soil is enough for you to build four or five rooms."
"But……"
"This is what mother meant!" Xie Jiaojiao said and glanced at Liu Mingyue.
"If you want to get married and have children in the future, this house will be too small to accommodate you. So let's do this: you bring a bundle of firewood to my house every other day for half a year, and I will pay for the two new rooms you built and the tiles on them."
Liu Mingyue listened, lowered her head, and blushed slightly.
"That won't do..." Xie Zhili retorted hastily.
"Why? You can sell firewood to others, but not to me?"
Xie Zhili waved his hands hastily: "No, no, I... I'm just afraid that you will think I..."
"I feel like you're plotting against me."
Xie Zhili said nothing.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded slightly: "You have plotted against me before and caused me a lot of trouble, but..."
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Xie Zhili.
"Just like mother said, she said you have become better. I have also noticed during this period that you are indeed different from before. Although I don't have any feelings for you, I can't bear to see mother unhappy. Besides, this can't be considered as helping you. As for delivering firewood, since we have agreed on it, you have to deliver it even if it rains or it rains knives from the sky."
After hearing what she said, Xie Zhili nodded and said, "Okay! Even if I have to stab you, I will still deliver it to you."
Xie Jiaojiao then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, you guys get busy."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she left. With the word "you guys", Xie Zhili scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and Liu Mingyue blushed and didn't dare to look at her.
On the way back, Xie Jiaojiao met many people from the village. Many of them greeted her, but there were also some whose eyes were not eyes and whose nose was not nose.
When the old lady of the Wu family saw Xie Jiaojiao, she hurried over and said, “Jiaojiao.”
"Aunt Wu."
Old Mrs. Wu responded, and first thanked Xie Jiaojiao for letting her sons work, and then asked Xie Jiaojiao embarrassedly: "Jiaojiao, Aunt Wu wants to ask you something, how do you make those mud blocks? I don't want to steal my knowledge, but you can see that our house collapsed because of the flood. Although we have built a few huts now, there are so many people in this family, it is very inconvenient, and winter is coming, so...so...we also want to build a few houses like that."
The soil here is free, and her family has a bricklayer, so she didn't care. She just needed to buy some tiles, or if that didn't work, she could just cover the roof with thick thatch! At least it wouldn't be cold in winter!
To be honest, this soil block is easy to make, but difficult to dry.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the weather. If it didn't rain, it should still be in time. However, it would be too cold when she covered herself with the blanket.
She was not stingy: "If Aunt Wu is free, ask Uncle to go to the mountain to pick up some white mud, and I will go over to teach you later!"
Old Mrs. Wu was so happy: "Okay, okay, it's empty. Aunt Wu is waiting for you at home. You must come."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.
After returning home and having breakfast, he told Sun Ruhua about the matter. Sun Ruhua listened and nodded slightly: "Your Aunt Wu's family is also OK. She also spoke for us in the cave."
Xie Jiaojiao naturally knew this, otherwise she would not be willing to spend time teaching others!
Cuizhu took the mold for making clay blocks and followed Xie Jiaojiao out.
From a distance, there were a lot of people gathered in front of the Wu family's thatched house.
When Xie Jiaojiao got closer, she saw that they were the families who had first followed her to grow sugarcane.
Aunt Wu smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, everyone wants to take advantage of the slack season to build the house. Don't worry, there are no messy people."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded slightly, looking at the white mud and some soil in the yard.
He said to the Wu family: "Do you have any straw?"
"Yes, yes." Old Mrs. Wu responded and went to get some straw.
Xie Jiaojiao instructed her to cut the straw into small pieces, and then she brought a winnowing basket...
After demonstrating the method from beginning to end, Mrs. Wu watched and said, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why the ones I made after trying several times by myself were not at all good."
Everyone nodded. Who wouldn’t? Everyone was envious of Niu Er’s house!
Xie Jiaojiao said: "If you guys want to do it, then do it early, otherwise if the weather gets colder, the soil won't dry out!"
Everyone nodded and immediately dispersed, going back to making clods of earth...
Old Mrs. Wu was extremely grateful to Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say much, just turned around and left.
From that day on, many people in the village saw these families busy making earthen blocks, and for a moment they felt a little itchy in their hearts.
The construction of Xie Zhili's house had also begun, and everyone was watching the house change every day.
In order to save money, Xie Zhili not only helped to repair his own house every day, but also went up the mountain to collect firewood and cut trees to make roof beams, and Niu Fusheng also helped.
Seeing that the house was built, Xie Jiaojiao took out some silver and bought tiles for Xie Zhili.
Xie Zhili was so excited when he saw the tiles on the roof. He thought he would never have the chance to live in a brick and tile house in his life. Unexpectedly, after a flood, although he did not live in a brick and tile house, he built a mud brick and tile house!
Moreover, after the house was built, each room was built very large. He listened to Xie Jiaojiao's advice and separated Xie Zhishu's house to the backyard. The house in the front row also had five rooms. This made the house look very grand.
When the villagers saw the new house being built, they were so jealous. After all, for many people, Xie Zhili was living a difficult life. They never thought that he would build a new house!
But some people, before Xie Zhili's house was over, the Wu family started to build a new house, and then the Wang family...
The families who had followed Xie Jiaojiao to grow sugarcane started to build new houses, all using earth blocks...
Only then did they feel that they really shouldn't have offended Xie Jiaojiao in the first place...
