Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11459

Old Yang’s house, backyard.

If it weren't for the fact that these people in front of him who were busy were all familiar faces, even Luo Fengtang was among them.

Otherwise, Yang Ruoqing would really wonder if she had gone to the wrong set!

"Wow, I used to think this backyard was so huge, but now that the west house has been demolished, I suddenly realize how small this area is!"

"Oh, by the way, didn't you say before that you were just going to empty the house and then renovate it? Why did you tear down the whole house?"

Yang Ruoqing looked at the three houses in front of her that were about to become ruins. Could it be that they were planning to build a new house on this basis?

When Luo Fengtang saw Yang Ruoqing coming over with a large pot of hot water, he stopped what he was doing and strode towards her.

He came forward, leaving Yang Huaming, who was two steps slower than him, no time to receive the attack.

But it doesn’t matter, Yang Huaming can just answer Yang Ruoqing’s question.

"I didn't plan to build a new house at first, but now the walls are cracked and the tiles on the roof are broken into pieces."

"Everyone is thinking about it. They all say this is a renovation. It's called a renovation, but the workload is no less than building a new house!"

"I thought about it and realized that I could let go of one sheep or a flock of sheep, so I might as well tear down the three houses and build three new houses on the foundations!"

Yang Ruoqing looked at the old site of the west house in front of her which had become a ruin. It had already been demolished, and anyone with a sound mind would not sing a different tune at this time.

Besides, building a new house or renovating it is the responsibility of the fourth room.

Other families can come and help when they are free. If they are not free, Fourth Uncle cannot be blamed. After all, the first half of the year is the busy season for spring plowing and every household.

Besides, doesn’t the fourth room have a son-in-law named Li Laoer who is a bricklayer?

Li Laoer has an older brother and a younger brother. The three brothers are a professional house-building team. They built three rooms with four bedrooms, and the workload was not very large. With the three brothers of the Li family and a few helpers from the Yang family.

If worst comes to worst, the three Li brothers can bring a few laborers who are paid by the day to make do with them, and the three rooms won’t be delayed for too long.

"Fourth Uncle, is two months about enough?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

As for the construction period, Yang Huaming had obviously already thought about it in his mind. When he heard Yang Ruoqing's proposal of two months, he shook his head without even thinking.

"How can that be possible? I only have three small rooms. If we have enough manpower and God is willing, it can be completed in a month at most!"

After it is completed, after drying it for ten days or so, he and Liu can move in.

On the other side, Luo Fengtang took the hot water bottle that Yang Ruoqing brought and was already there inviting everyone to come over to rest and drink water.

Everyone came over to rest, wiping their sweat. The place where they rested was in the east room opposite where Old Yang lived.

Because the yard is now full of things, rotten wood, broken bricks and stones, and other non-recyclable things that were taken out of the west room and have not yet been transported to the backyard.

"Everyone, come over and have some tea and take a break." Yang Huaming also went over to greet everyone, including the old and young men of the Yang family, and the three brothers of the Li family.

Old Yang was standing in the yard holding his pipe. Although he was not working, he was not idle either.

He was puffing on a pipe as he wandered around the piles of "waste" in the yard. From time to time, he would bend down, free up one hand to pick up a piece of wood and look at it in his hand, or he would pick up half a brick or stone and weigh it repeatedly, muttering to himself, no one knew what he was mumbling.

When Yang Ruoqing passed by him, Old Yang called out to her, "Qing'er, go to the east room and tell your fourth uncle and the others to pack these things up outside the yard and separate them. Don't throw them away!"

Yang Ruoqing heard something else from the old man's words, "Grandpa, are you saying that these things can be recycled?" "Why not? I've seen these woods, some of them have termites, so they have to be burned."

"There are still some that don't have termites. Pick them up, put them on fishing nets and make two chicken pens in the backyard."

“Who wants to raise chickens?”

"Your grandma, she said hello to me last time. When she comes back, she wants to raise chickens and save eggs."

Mrs. Tan and Old Yang have been supported by their children and grandchildren for many years, so they don't have to worry about their livelihood at all.

Tan had stopped maintaining the vegetable garden and chicken coop a long time ago.

It's easy to guess that the sudden idea of ​​raising chickens was most likely to provide a steady supply of eggs and chickens for the three children of Aunt Mei's family.

The younger generations did not interfere with the old lady's choice. Raising chickens and ducks was not tiring anyway. She would probably need to plant two vegetable gardens by then, otherwise there would be nothing to feed the chickens and ducks.

These tasks were not hard, and Tan was strong enough to handle them.

If the old lady wanted to raise pigs in order to support Aunt Mei and the others, then I guess all the descendants of the Yang family would jump out to oppose it.

The old man got sick from exhaustion, fell down, was knocked over by the pigs, and there were all kinds of dangers.

Last year, when the Sun family was slaughtering a pig, the eldest Sun was knocked to the ground by the pig in the backyard and almost didn't come back.

"Where are these broken stones? Don't tell me you're going to build a pigpen!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Old Yang looked at the broken stones and said, "When your uncle and aunt live here, they might build a pigsty!"

"We also need to build another toilet. One toilet is not enough for so many people."

"Okay, then I'll call Fourth Uncle out, and you can talk to him yourself!"

Yang Ruoqing did not go back to the village entrance, but stayed here to watch them work. It was lively here and everyone was working enthusiastically.

Especially my younger cousin Yang Yongqing, who got together with my fourth uncle and the others to make jokes and make all kinds of jokes at will.

Third sister-in-law Zhao Liuer, and youngest sister-in-law Xiao Mo, were both scolding little cousin. They were working together and were very happy!

Time passed quietly.

Originally, she and Yang Ruoqing walked out of the courtyard of the fourth room's new house together. One of them delivered a can of hot water to the old house, and the other went back to the second room to call Xiuhong to get up. When they were about to part, Cao Bamei swore to Yang Ruoqing that she would come to the old house soon.

She also had a pair of work gloves and a hat left at the old house and was coming over to get them.

As a result, at the old house, as the sun was setting and it was almost time to finish work, Kang Xiaozi went back for a walk and came over to tell everyone that dinner was ready.

"Everyone, it's time to finish work. You're all tired. Let's stop here today and have a meal!" Yang Huaming called out.

However, Yang Ruoqing discovered that Cao Bamei never came.

She asked Zhao Liuer and Xiao Mo, and found Cao Bamei's gloves and hat, and prepared to take them back for her.

However, just as everyone walked out of the gate of the old Yang family's house, chatting and laughing, they saw Bao Suyun coming over there with a panicked look on her face.
