In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Bai family to build a new house. Qi Zhen told the people in the defense team the night before, and everyone said they would come to help.
Bai Banxia also said it in public, the helper is responsible for the food and food, don't have breakfast tomorrow, just come with an empty stomach.
Early that morning, Bai Tian and Zhang Lingzhi didn't even leave the stall, so they got up early and started cooking.
They had discussed it last night. Since people came to help for free, why should they have a full meal before working for them? Only when you are full can you have the strength to work.
"Cousin, we are here!" Zhang Tongsheng's voice came from outside.
Bai Banxia hurriedly opened the courtyard door. It was just dawn that day. Did the eldest cousin and the second cousin go out before dawn?
"Tongsheng, Tongshan is here, come in and wash your hands, uncle will spread out two pancakes for you." Bai Tian said warmly.
"Uncle, don't worry about us, we have eaten and gone out." The eldest cousin said.
Although the second cousin said little, he also said hello to Bai Tian, Zhang Lingzhi and others.
Bai Tiancai ignored the two people's refusal and spread out the pancakes, saying, "That's not okay. If you don't eat my pancakes, you won't work."
"Then don't let it go..." Before the elder cousin could finish his words, the egg had already hit him, and he couldn't stop it at all.
Soon the aroma of pancakes mixed with the aroma of beans and eggs wafted from the Bai family yard. The eldest cousin and the second cousin each took a pancake fruit to eat.
People who came to help arrived one after another, and Baitian’s pancake and fruit stall opened quickly. Each person made a pancake and fruit with egg.
Aunt Fang, who was friends with Zhang Lingzhi, and her daughter-in-law also came to help on Saturday and brought some dishes and chopsticks from home.
The farmer's family didn't have many bowls and chopsticks, so if they had to treat guests to a meal, neighbors would borrow some bowls and chopsticks from each other.
Zhang Lingzhi cooked hot bone soup for everyone, and each person had a big bowl. Now everyone had something to eat and drink, and their bodies felt warm, and the chill of getting up early in the winter was also dispelled.
"It smells so good! You did the right thing by coming to help, and it's a blessing!" someone praised.
"Isn't that right? The Bai family is so down-to-earth. Every pancake has eggs. How much does it cost? And the soup is all meat and bone soup."
"They are just building a house. How many people are needed to help? They just asked us to come and eat."
"..."
Everyone was praising each other, and the Bai family yard was extremely lively. The old man also came out to say hello to everyone. Hearing all the compliments, the wrinkles on his smiling face deepened.
My family is really proud of me, everyone in the village is praising me.
When everyone was full, Zhang An took the initiative to arrange work for everyone.
"My family just built a new house not long ago. I have some experience, so I asked Da to arrange it for everyone." Zhang An said.
Bai Banxia nodded hurriedly. She didn't know how to build a house. It would be too troublesome to study it specifically, so professional matters had to be left to professionals, otherwise she wouldn't have enough energy.
Zhang An arranged for some people to cut down trees and had people go to the river to move stones, dig sand and get mud. Soon everyone was busy separately.
Qi Zhen followed the team moving the rocks, and Bai Banxia also followed.
"Girl Ban Xia, if you are a girl, don't do such strenuous work." Yu Xiulin said disapprovingly.
Bai Banxia raised her eyebrows and glanced sideways at him, "What's wrong with the girl's family? I can't protect you. You're not as strong as me."
Everyone laughed, some thought Bai Banxia was bragging, but others believed it, especially those from the defense team who had trained with Bai Banxia, but they saw how strong this girl was.
Yu Xiulin is not a member of the defense team, and he is not as powerful as Bai Banxia.
Some people started to boo, "Can we compete and we'll know?"
"Yes, let's compare later!" someone echoed.
Yu Xiulin blushed and said, "Why am I comparing myself to a girl? How can I be embarrassed?"
"It's just for fun, we're not betting on anything, just compare." Bai Banxia raised an eyebrow and looked at Yu Xiulin. Even though Yu Xiulin was also on the ground, he was not very strong.
He is even more elegant, which is what the little girls in the village like, so his predecessor had a crush on Yu Xiulin, and Wang Taohua also liked Yu Xiulin before.
Everyone started booing again, shouting Bibi.
While we were talking, we had already arrived at the river. There was also a certain point in picking stones. People who knew how to look at them picked out a few suitable ones and asked everyone to move them.
Bai Banxia looked at the largest piece, picked it up easily with one hand, and carried it on his shoulder.
"My strength was gained through training with my brothers and uncles in the defense team. Their strength is not inferior to mine." Bai Banxia said with a very high emotional intelligence.
"Okay!" The people in the defense team cheered, it was too embarrassing for them!
In the past, every family in the defense force had to have a male, but some were reluctant.
But things are different now. The defense team can learn to use crossbows and martial arts, and everyone in the defense team has become very good and as strong as an ox. In addition, the people in the defense team train almost every day, and they are getting more and more
There is cohesion, and now everyone feels proud and proud to be a member of the defense team.
The people from the defense team took action one after another, and each one of them was extremely strong. The eyes of the others were straightened. How powerful has it been in just a few days?
The problem is that people seem to be relaxed and not trying to show off their strength.
Thinking about how everyone has become such a coach, Qi Zhen is even more admirable.
"Qi Zhen's teachings are still good. Even me, who was the weakest before, has improved a lot." Zhao Changsheng said that he was selected into the defense team solely because of his good eyesight and accurate archery, but now his strength has also improved.
.
Yu Xiulin looked at everyone, his face turning red and white. It was not impossible for him to lift a stone as heavy as Bai Banxia, but it would definitely not be that easy, not to mention that he was lifting it with one hand.
"Let's go!" Bai Banxia shouted, already carrying the stone and walking back.
Qi Zhen also moved stones to follow, but did not help her get them.
Normally he wouldn't even let her push the cart, but now that she was proving her strength, not only would he not stop her, but he would also silently support and encourage her.
Everyone was walking in the village carrying stones, which attracted the attention of many people. The most important thing was that they were frightened by Bai Banxia's strength.
When Bai Banxia returned home and put down the stone, Zhang Lingzhi pulled her aside and whispered: "My dear, don't do this in front of others. Who would dare to propose marriage if you scare others?"
"Anyone who gets scared so easily is not worthy of me. It's best not to come." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
Qi Zhen listened with his ears perked up and a smile appeared on his lips. Yes, someone so weak is not worthy of Pinellia ternata.
The people who were not cutting down trees also came back, and everyone divided the work again. Some were cutting stones, and some were planing wood. The inside and outside of Bai's courtyard was bustling with activity, attracting many people from the village to watch.
Bai Banxia didn't go to chisel the stone, but went to prepare lunch. She was the best at cooking the bones and sausages.
