Chapter 267 Drilling a Well

Chapter 267 Drilling a Well

Xing Rui didn't care how angry Liang Sheng was, she walked over and gave Liang Sheng a fierce look.

"Why are you yelling? You don't want to eat, and you have a really bad temper."

Seeing Xing Rui like this, Liang Sheng gave in and followed Xing Rui down the mountain with his head drooped and silent.

When they arrived at their new home, Xing Rui went directly into the yard, and Liang Sheng walked toward the village.

It was a pretty good day, although it was so overcast that it didn't rain much.

Old Man Wang gathered some seedlings and Xing Rui followed him and planted them in the garden behind.

While I was busy, an old ox cart came outside, and a group of stout old men got out. They stood at the gate and shouted towards the courtyard.

"Is this Xing Rui's house?"

Xing Rui, who heard the sound, hurriedly came out.

"I am, you are?"

"Oh, we are here to dig a well, don't you want to dig a well?"

Liang Sheng, who heard the sound at this time, also walked out of the garden behind.

"Oh, yes, I told you to dig a well,"

Xing Rui asked Han to ask questions for her, but she didn't expect someone to come so soon.

These people are all good at digging wells and rely on this skill to make a living.

"A well costs ten taels of silver, no bargaining."

Twelve? Old man Wang who came out after hearing the voice frowned, but Xing Rui said with a smile,

"Okay, ten taels is ten taels, shall we fight now?"

Chef Han had already told Xing Rui that a well costs at least ten taels of silver.

This is because Han Quan Quan gave himself the lowest price.

"I've brought everything here, it's okay now."

Xing Rui looked at the old ox cart parked at the door. The cart was filled with wooden corrugated tiles. It was square and very strong.

"Okay, I'm going to dig a well in the garden behind. Come with me and have a look."

Xing Rui led a few big men towards the garden at the back. Xing Rui had already chosen the location for the well, which was just one meter away from the dripping eaves behind the house.

When the well was dug in the future, she would pave the road from the front yard to here with stones, so that she would not have to worry about the mud under her feet when she came to draw water.

"Just dig a well here."

Xing Rui pointed at the place she liked and said,

"OK,"

The man was very easy to talk to. He looked back at his brothers and said,

"Get all our stuff and start working."

"How many days will it take to finish?"

Xing Rui asked the man.

"If it doesn't rain, we can play it out tomorrow."

"Okay, then you all go to work. Oh, be careful and don't be in a hurry. Everyone's safety is the most important thing."

After listening to Xing Rui's words, the man glanced at Xing Rui strangely.

I've probably been working for so many years, but I've never met someone so easy to talk to.

"Oh, boss, you have to provide food for us when we work. We also need someone to be here tonight. We will leave when we finish tomorrow."

"Okay, there's nothing delicious, but having enough food isn't a problem."

"We don't choose, the boss just needs to take care of things."

Xing Rui looked at Old Man Wang and said,

"Godfather, please help me keep an eye on this, Liang Sheng and I don't understand much."

"Girl, don't worry, your godfather will keep an eye on you."

Xing Rui thought they would unload everything from the car, but unexpectedly they just came over with a few tools.

I stood under the eaves very curiously, watching how they worked.

Liang Sheng also seemed to be curious and walked to Xing Rui's side.

"I'll go help my godmother cook in a while. You can take care of her here. Also, make sure they don't enter the child's house."

"Well, you go ahead and I'll watch them while I work."

The two people who had just had an argument in the morning were talking calmly as if nothing had happened.

After watching for a long time, these men were just digging holes, but to be honest,

These men are very strong, no wonder they said they could easily finish the job in two days.

"Okay, I'm leaving,"

Xing Rui said, looking up at her godfather and saying hello.

"Dad, I'll go back and buy some tofu. If you're tired, take a rest. Liang Sheng is here."

"Go back, don't worry, there is a godfather here."

Xing Rui went around to the front yard and went back to the house to talk to her two girls. When no one was around, she secretly found some stuffed animals from the dental department of the beauty hospital and gave them to them.

Where had the two children seen such a thing before? They were curious for a moment and surrounded their mother and asked,

"Mom, what is this? It's so cute!"

Little Duoduo's favorite little mouth was placed on the doll's face, and even little Weiwei happily held the furry toy in her arms and refused to let go.

"My mother bought this from the town, you two have a lot of fun with it.

There are people working at home, and my mother is going back to cook. When she goes out in a while, you can lock the door, do you hear me?"

"Oh, mother, I know."

Xing Rui stroked the two children's heads again before walking out.

After telling my godmother that someone was coming to dig a well and needed food, my godmother started to prepare what to eat for lunch in a hurry.

"My godmother, it's still early at noon. I'll go buy a pot of tofu first and come back. At noon, I think I'll stew a pot of rice with two mixed ingredients. It's pretty good."

The so-called two-mixed rice includes rice cooked with large ballast rice and large white rice, or rice cooked with millet seeds and large white rice.

What Xing Rui is talking about is two-rice rice mixed with large ballast and large white rice. Of course, there will be more large ballast and less white rice.

Even this kind of food is rarely available to people in the village, let alone such good food for working people.

"Daughter, if we don't give a worker money and have to eat rice made from dirt, then it's good to take care of them, but we can also give them white rice?"

Obviously the godmother is distressed.

"Godmother, this is hard work. If you don't eat well, you won't have the energy to do it.

We have to let them work out quickly now that the rain has stopped."

Seeing her godmother's unwillingness, Xing Rui walked over, held her godmother in her arms and whispered something in her ear.

"Godmother, we still have that box of wild ginseng, what are you afraid of?"

"You can't spend it like this if you have money,"

Listening to her daughter's charming voice, Mrs. Wang could only compromise.

"Okay, my godmother knows, go buy soybean tofu quickly, it will be gone after a while."

"Godmother is tired again today, thank you for your hard work."

Snap...

After saying that, Xing Rui kissed the old lady on the face.

"I'll go back and cut some leeks and stew some tofu to make it delicious."

Xing Rui picked up a big wooden basin and walked out. In the yard, Xing Zihe was feeding the ewe.

There were many little yellow dogs wandering around him.

"mother,"

Seeing his mother carrying a big wooden basin to go out, Xing Zihe asked his mother hurriedly.

"What are you going to do?"

"You can't go out no matter what. Take good care of these things at home. Mom will be back soon."

"oh,"

Xing Zihe wanted to say that his father took him up the mountain in the morning, but he knew that if he said this, his father would definitely be scolded by his mother.

Although I was a little anxious to see my two sisters, I still agreed honestly.

Xing Rui opened the door and walked out, not wanting to see someone walking out of the house when she looked up.

"Er Feng, wait a minute, I have something to tell you..."
