At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature began to gradually rise. Shuangxi calculated with his fingers that this winter was almost over.
There is also a New Year in this world, but in such a poor family, the New Year is really nothing to celebrate. As early as half a month ago, the New Year was celebrated with Double Happiness.
Unexpectedly...it will be spring in the blink of an eye.
Shuangxi looked at the snow that had turned into ice crystals, and felt happy. Spring was coming. It would be great if spring came.
Mr. Liu brought several carpenters from his house and cooperated with several strong laborers from the village to start building the rafters.
Shuangxi was delighted to think that he could build a house in his own home. After all, the Shen family was also a naturalized person and had the right to choose a site in the village to build a house.
After the earthquake, several families took their belongings to relatives' homes in the town, planning to leave Qingshi Village for resettlement.
But most people still stay here. After all, the land here is their roots, and the fields here are the foundation of their lives.
When Shuangxi saw that the sky was getting warmer, he took the quilt again, looked at the fox cloak he was wearing, and took it off gently.
I found a shady place where the snow had not melted at all, rubbed the cloak with snow, folded it up, and came to Master Liu who was supervising the work.
Speaking of Mr. Liu, he was very dedicated. He stayed in the carriage brought by Lu Yan for three days and accompanied these people in rebuilding.
"Master Liu." Shuangxi said softly.
Mr. Liu, who was standing with his hands behind his back, watching those people building wooden rafters, turned around slightly and saw Shuangxi in front of him, wearing a pretty light blue jacket and holding a fiery red fox fur cloak in his hand. At this moment
She was smiling, but how did she look like a married woman? She was clearly a pure girl waiting to be married.
"Sir, I will return this cloak to you. From today on, the weather has been warm for a long time, and I am not afraid of the cold anymore." Shuangxi said with a red face. With Mrs. An's drama, she felt a lot more embarrassed when she returned the cloak.
.
Liu Yi nodded slightly and signaled Fifteen to accept the cloak.
Shuangxi was relieved. If he didn't accept it, he would be embarrassed.
"Xi'er! Xi'er!" Shen Mo didn't see Shuang Xi for a while, so he came to look for her.
Shuangxi really disliked him for being clingy, so she pretended not to hear him and kept walking with her head down.
Shen Mo smiled and said: "Xi'er, where will our family build a house in the future?"
When Shuangxi heard what Shen Mo said, he also became interested. Yes, just thinking about building a house, he actually forgot to choose an address.
Others can start at the same place, but I may have to find a good place for my own home.
Shuangxi and Shen Mo walked around for a long time. Shuangxi found a place near the mountain. The hillside here was already very gentle, and it seemed that there would be no more landslides.
And the terrain is relatively high, so you won’t have to worry about rainy days.
The only disadvantage is that it is too close to An's home, just opposite An's home.
At this time, Shen Yan came over and said to the two of them: "I think the place is good, let's set up a household here."
Who knows, Quanzi and Dashan came over at this time, Quanzi smiled and said: "What a coincidence, you are also going to build a house here?"
Shen Yan's face suddenly darkened. The two brothers from the Yun family were really stupid. These days, wherever Shuangxi appeared, these brothers would appear.
Shen Yan said coldly: "What do you mean we have to build a house here?"
Dashan smiled sincerely and said: "Brothers of the Shen family, what a coincidence. We are building a house here. We just happen to be neighbors and have someone to take care of us in the future."
Shuangxi glanced at Dashan, who looked sincere, and was a little confused. Could it be that the Yun brothers still had their own ideas?
Once they have a house and open up wasteland, the Yun brothers are so capable that it won't be long before they can save some money and find a good wife.
Shuangxi thought so, comforting herself that she was worrying too much.
In the end, neither Shen Yan nor Quanzi was willing to give in. Both families had lived on the mountain for a long time and both wanted to be close to the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
The breath of spring has become stronger, and the snow has gradually turned into the most precious jade dew in spring, seeping into the soil.
Although the spring is cold, it will not freeze again. Shuangxi smiled and looked at the rows of mud bricks in front of him, with a smile on his lips.
It's almost time to get out of that simple shack and live in a house.
The cost of building a house in the mountains is not high. As long as there are strong laborers at home, small workers to help, wood in the mountains and yellow mud in the fields, the house can be built.
There are no red bricks commonly used in modern times here. The adobe bricks used are made of loess, which is very sticky.
After adding water and stirring, add the firewood poles cut into sections, use a mold made of wood, grid them into a rectangular shape, and dry them in the sun.
Shuangxi had seen how it was done once in her hometown in the countryside. Now when she saw the adobe bricks again, she felt a sense of nostalgia in her heart.
I don't know how my parents are doing now, and I haven't fulfilled my filial piety. Fortunately, I still have a younger brother who can take care of them.
Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will be here, alive and well, and alive and well.
Shuangxi looked at the adobe bricks intently. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind! With these adobe bricks, why not build a kang?
With the kang, the winter here will not be so cold. No, no kang! If you can design floor heating...
Shuangxi's eyes lit up when he thought of this. Since he had thought of it, why not start doing it?
Shuangxi directed Shen Mo to make some thinner adobe bricks for him, and Shen Mo immediately started to do it.
Shuangxi looked at the adobe bricks and was a little confused. He was afraid that some soil would have to be cleared from the ground for floor heating. The amount of work was huge. With such a busy schedule, he didn't know when he would be able to complete his plan to live in a house.
"Let's make the fire bed first." Shuangxi thought to himself. After all, eating a fat man in one bite is a bit unrealistic.
It’s better to take care of food and clothing first, and then think about comfort.
"Daughter-in-law, why do you write square bricks like this? I think it's enough?" Shen Mo touched the sweat with his hands, raised his eyes and looked at the densely packed square bricks on the ground of his house, and then remembered to ask.
Shuangxi looked at Shen Mo who had finished his work, and then asked what he was doing. His eyes turned into slits with laughter. Among the Shen brothers, Shen Mo was the most well-behaved.
In fact, the Shen family has long wanted to build a house in the mountains, but after all, they have not been naturalized. They live in a temple, and the Yun family lives in a simple wooden house for hunters, which is acceptable, but if they really build a house, I am afraid that the area will be long. I'm going to have to ask for some land rent.
