Chapter 136: Fang Family Girl Monthly Pass)
When a few of us went to the county town today, we also stopped by Yahang.
The dental shop will also be closed in the afternoon, and it will be the fifth day of the Lunar New Year when it opens again.
Fang Yunping asked them to ask when the craftsmen who built the house could start work, and when the bricks and tiles could be transported.
The Ya people were still impressed when they saw Fang Youwei and Fang Youzhi.
The last time Mr. He brought them here, he took a look at the three of them and wrote down their looks. He was afraid that he might not recognize them next time and offend someone.
The Ya people received them warmly and told them that the craftsmen who were building houses would not come out to take over the work until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
As for the bricks and tiles, they can be delivered slowly after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
After all, they have a lot of houses to build and a lot of bricks and tiles to use. They can't burn so many at once, so they can only send them over in batches.
Everyone in the Fang family also understands that even if the craftsmen came years ago, they would not be able to build the house at once. With so many people coming, it would take several months to complete the house.
Anyway, the place has been reached and the house will be built sooner or later, so everyone is not in a hurry.
Before that, they can build a shed out of wood or bamboo, which is at least more comfortable than living in a tent.
The tent was okay for emergencies, but it was too frustrating after a long period of time. I could only sleep and it was difficult to turn around.
For several months, I have to live comfortably under limited conditions.
Just build a shed and make it tighter around it. It's better than a tent anyway.
Just make do with it first, and then demolish it after the house is built.
The men won't go out in the afternoon. There is still a lot of wood and bamboo chopped yesterday. There is no need to go up the mountain anymore. They can just sort these out first.
Today is New Year's Eve, and they also need to have a sense of ceremony. They don't go out on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and they have to wait until the first day of the Lunar New Year before walking around to greet each other.
Now that everyone is together, let’s not worry about that. Just stay within the fence.
This afternoon, some men were busy digging trenches near the mountain wall. After digging, they could bury wood and bamboo as supports, and then surround them with straw curtains and tarps to create a temporary shelter.
Some are processing wood and bamboo, repairing the wood to the required length to make pillars, and the bamboo is used to support the straw curtains and the skeleton connecting the pillars.
The women are busy making delicious food. The New Year's Eve dinner tonight is very important, as it symbolizes good luck in the coming year.
They took out the white noodles that they had been reluctant to eat on the way, and made dumplings after dinner. When dinner arrived, they all had a meal of dumplings together and they were all together.
Now that the children have a range of activities, they no longer hold back as much as they did when they were on the road, and they started running with all their might.
You don't have to help pull weeds today, you can just have fun!
The boys were having so much fun running around in the fifty acres of fenced land.
They also knew that they had just arrived, so they didn't go out and just played in the fenced area here.
And in the unfinished grass, there were many species they didn't know, and they were all novel.
The older girls went to help cook the New Year's Eve dinner, while those under ten years old were squatting on the edge of the mountain wall, picking up stones to play with.
Good news is also included.
There are many beautiful small stones here, with bright colors and strange shapes. There are red, yellow, pink, and white. I don’t know how they were formed.
Although the shape is not round, the color is indeed beautiful, and they are all small and small.
The girls picked it up, put it together, tied it with slender grass leaves, and put it on their hands. They thought it was quite beautiful.
Jiayin looked at the small stones. There were many colors, but they were not shiny at all, so she was not interested.
But I saw them tying straw to the stone. When they used force, the straw broke and the stone fell off.
He asked: "Do you have any thin rope? Pierce a hole in the stone and string it on with a rope so it won't fall off."
The bead chains in her space all look like this.
Several girls looked at Jiayin, and the older one said: "This stone is so hard and so small. It's not that easy to drill holes in it. You need special tools."
Jiayin blinked, thought of the special tools, said "Wait a minute" and ran back to their tent.
She rummaged through the needlework set aside by Mrs. Yang, took out the thickest needle and a piece of thread, and ran back.
He said to the little girl: "Give me that stone and I will make a hole for you."
The little girl looked at the older child next to her and saw her nodding, then handed the stone in her hand to Jiayin.
Jiayin tore off the grass, pointed the needle directly at the middle of the stone, and pierced it all at once!
Several little girls nearby shouted "Yeah!"
When the big boy got the stone, he said in surprise: "Jiayin, you are so awesome! You actually pierced the stone!"
Jiayin raised her little head proudly, "Of course, I am a strong man!"
The owner of the stone took the stone and looked at the sky. He really saw it! Is it so simple?
She asked for the needle in Jiayin's hand, then picked up a stone and poked it hard.
There was only a little mark left on the stone, and the tip of the needle was bent.
Disappointed, she returned the needle to Jiayin. Jiayin pinched the tip of the needle with her hand, and the tip immediately became straight again.
The older girl picked up Jiayin's little fleshy hand, looked at it over and over, and squeezed it. It was soft and fleshy. It was hard to imagine how strong it was.
Jiayin said proudly: "Only I can do this, not you. I am born with great strength."
The girls thought of the way Jiayin moved the straw bales before and nodded. Really, Jiayin was different from them.
Grandma also said that Youwei's uncle's good news was born with great strength, just like that great general.
Legend has it that the general could lift a boulder weighing over a thousand kilograms!
The girls gathered around Jiayin and handed her their stones and told her where to put the holes.
Some should be worn in the middle position to make a bracelet, and some should be worn slightly above to be made into a necklace and hung around the neck.
The good news satisfied them one by one.
At the same time, the girls also introduced themselves to Jiayin.
They had known each other for more than half a year, including the time in Shan'ao, but Jiayin mostly played with boys and rarely with girls like them. They all knew Jiayin's name, but Jiayin didn't know theirs.
Starting from the oldest one, she smiled at Jiayin and said, "Jiayin, you don't know our names yet, do you?"
Seeing Jiayin nodding, she continued: "My name is Fang Cuicui, I am Zhigang's sister."
Jiayin often played with Fang Zhiqiang and Fang Zhigang and they were familiar with each other. When she heard that she was Zhigang's sister, she gave her a sweet smile.
