Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11370

While Sun and Sister Hua were busy comforting those who were sad, lost, desperate, confused and hesitant about the future, feeling like a floating osmanthus leaf, Yang Huazhong found Changgen near the outer courtyard construction site of a wealthy family in the town who were preparing to build a house.

A wealthy family wanted to build a three-courtyard house, so they fenced off a large piece of land on the edge of the town and invited several teams of craftsmen from the town and surrounding villages.

Why do we need to hire several teams of craftsmen? If it were in the second half of the year, one team of craftsmen would be enough.

Because it is already early February in the lunar calendar, spring has arrived, and the rapeseed and wheat in the fields are growing day by day as the winter snow and frozen soil melt.

Not only rapeseed and wheat, but other crops in the fields are also entering a busy spring farming period.

Therefore, during this period, the strong laborers must stay at home to prepare for spring ploughing, and manual labor must be put aside for the time being. Therefore, under normal circumstances, many families would not choose to build houses in the first half of the year. It is not easy to find labor to build houses in the first half of the year. There are endless things to do, such as spring ploughing, transplanting rice, harvesting rapeseed, and threshing wheat.

Even after the seedlings are planted in the paddy fields, we still have to weed the cotton fields, catch insects in the rice fields, fight drought and floods...

Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, the rainy season begins here. Sometimes, once the rainy season comes, the weather won't be sunny for nearly half a month. Not to mention the things in the house, even people start to get moldy and grow hair!
Therefore, if you build a house in the first half of the year, unless you are building a small house, you can complete it quickly within a month or so.

Otherwise, if you want to build a large courtyard with two or three entrances, you must be a generous family who can spend a lot of money to recruit craftsmen from all over the surrounding villages.

There is strength in numbers. If there is a lot of money, there will be brave men. If the wages are adequate, people will be willing to spare some time to help you build a house.

So, Changgen happened to come to the town with a team of craftsmen from Changping Village. Changgen was a good carpenter and had learned it with Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou when he was young.

At this moment, when Yang Huazhong came over, Changgen and the others were busy with their work.

When Changgen saw that Yang Huazhong came to see him specifically, he immediately went to Baotou, the head of the craftsmen team, to say hello and ask for half a day off. He couldn't ignore Yang Huazhong.

At most, he only needs half a day's wages today. Baotou is also a native of Changping Village, so he should give himself some face.

As a result, Yang Huazhong stopped Changgen and said, "Don't waste half a day's wages. Just do your work and I'll wait for you!"

Chang Gen said, "How can this be justified? I still have two hours before lunch."

Yang Huazhong said: "I will wait for you no matter how long it takes. Go and do your work. You can't lose your job!"

Not only that, Yang Huazhong also helped Changgen do odd jobs.

Chang Gen hurriedly held down Yang Huazhong's hand: "No, Third Brother!"

Yang Huazhong glared and said, "Am I a delicate person? How can such a small task stump me? Don't forget that when we were young, we were a team of craftsmen. My craftsmanship is no worse than yours!"

"Besides, I have something to ask you. Let's talk while we work, so we can both work!"

Since Yang Huazhong insisted, Changgen stopped trying to stop him. Just as one of them was planing wood and the other was helping him clean up the sawdust, the foreman of the craftsman team came with several other craftsmen from the village to greet Yang Huazhong.

"Upright."

"Third uncle." "Third brother."

"Third uncle."

Yang Huazhong hurriedly greeted the craftsmen in his village. Facing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Yang Huazhong felt a warm current in his heart. He thought it would be better to return home. Home is better than Qing'an County and Changhuai Prefecture. There are familiar faces everywhere, and the familiar local accent can be heard everywhere!
"You all go about your own business. I want to talk to Changgen." Yang Huazhong said.

The contractor saw this and quickly came up to Yang Huazhong and held down the broom and dustpan in his hands, saying, "Uncle head of the village, this is work for small workers, how can you do it? Put it down!"

Yang Huazhong said: "You guys go and do your own things, I'll help Changgen, I feel uncomfortable talking with empty hands!"

The contractor looked at Changgen again, and Changgen shrugged and said helplessly: "If I could have stopped it, I would have stopped it just now, why is it your turn to stop it!"

The contractor then said, "Uncle Changgen, you don't have to work anymore. I'll give you half a day off so you can go and talk to Uncle Lizheng!"

Changgen was not too happy about this, because this holiday was related to his wages. If his wages were deducted, Changgen would not be happy about it, as he was short of money.

There would be no deduction in wages, so it was considered a full day's work. However, Changgen felt uneasy taking that money, so he looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yang Huazhong said to the contractor again: "Go and do your work. Listen to me. I have to say a few words to your uncle Changgen before I go!"

The contractor could only nod. Before leaving, he went to get a bowl of tea from Yang Huazhong and said, "Uncle, have a cup of tea. I'm going to work over there. Please tell me if there's anything I can do for you."

……

After the contractor left, a small area was left to Yang Huazhong and Changgen, and the two brothers continued to work.

Yang Huazhong is not like Sun and the others. If he wants to ask something, he has to think for a while and doesn't know where to start.

He got straight to the point and asked Changgen: "Why did you suddenly separate from those two bastards?"

Chang Gen did not stop working on the carpentry, and said without even looking up: "I knew you would abandon your relatives and stay here, and come to me for this matter."

"You can visit relatives anytime, but your story really shocked me. When I heard about it last night, I wanted to rush over here overnight!"

Changgen chuckled, "What's the rush? When a tree grows up, it branches out. When a son grows up, he separates. Isn't this human nature? Can we live under the same roof forever?"

"Even if the sons agree and the daughters-in-law are happy, the family division will happen sooner or later!"

Yang Huazhong saw Changgen's leisurely demeanor and did not seem to be annoyed. Instead, he looked very open-minded. Yang Huazhong's worries faded a little, and his tone of voice was not as urgent as before.

"I also know that separation is a matter of time. Although Da'an and Xiao'an of my family have said to the outside world that they have not separated, to be frank, they are in a state of separation. Everyone has already started their own lives."

"It's only during the New Year that everyone shares a pot and eats a few meals. If they lived in the village like your two sons, I'm afraid they would have separated long ago! This is the general trend!"

"Hehe," Changgen smiled and shook his head, "I was also a young man myself. I also separated from my brothers and parents. I am not so stubborn as to forcibly restrain the children and not let them go out to live a different life."
