Likewise, the old man held his granddaughter in his arms and talked for a while, wondering when the person behind the mute would send reinforcements.

According to the mute, it should be almost there, but it has been calm recently and there is no movement at all.

Waiting makes people anxious, and the old man is no exception.

If possible, he would rather fight with those who covet him with real swords and guns.

It's a pity that the rats behind the scenes have such courage. How can dogs be so angry that they have plotted against the Tai family for so many years...

The sun was setting in the west, and the mountain breeze brought a slight chill. It made Zhuzhu sneeze, and Sesame Ball immediately screamed.

The old man came to his senses, quickly packed his things, and took his granddaughter down the mountain.

It happened that Manager Min also woke up, and the three of them met and headed home.

In Taijia Village, the women were weaving cashmere clothes in the Taijia backyard, and the men were mostly in the fields. Only the old man took the children to play, which seemed much quieter than usual.

Manager Min was anxious to go back and report to his master. After saying a few words, he took the car back to the city.

Mr. Tai just happened to come back from the fields and sat in front of the door with his old brother to chat.

He was a little embarrassed and coughed several times before he said, "That old man, the construction of the ancestral hall... Now that the decision has been made, can we start the construction in the next few days?"

After that, he was afraid that his old brother would misunderstand, so he quickly added, "Of course, I'm just asking, I don't have to force you to take the money right away!
"I just see that there is not much work in the fields recently, and the tribesmen are all idle, so why not find some work for them. Otherwise, idleness is still idle..."

The old man thinks that he can start the construction anytime, and his family is not short of dozens of taels of silver now.

He responded, "Three brother can arrange whatever he wants, and the money at home is ready. The only thing is that He Shan and others did not walk around the village. If the villagers know their identity and then spread it, I am afraid there will be dumb people and bad guys behind them." Get ready. Find a good reason to hide the identities of He Shan and the others."

"This is easy to do!"

Third Master Tai waved his hands repeatedly, smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and said quickly, "Since we are going to break ground and repair the ancestral hall, we must hire a few masters. When the time comes, tell the villagers that they are the handymen brought by the masters, and then Tell the master that they are people hired by the village, so just hide it from both sides. Of course, I will also give the villagers a few words to tell them not to reveal anything!"

"Okay, third brother, since you have made a plan, let's get started. I will ask my step-grandmother's wife to get you 50 taels of silver tomorrow. If it is not enough, you can add more."

"So much!" Mr. Tai was so happy that he originally only said 20 taels of silver.

With so much money, there is no need to replace the tiles of the ancestral hall. The rotten roofs can be simply lifted off and replaced with new ones!

After saying a few more words, Mr. Tai walked away happily.

Yang Lihua came out holding Zhuzhu who had changed her clothes. The old man quickly asked his daughter-in-law to get the money tomorrow.

When Tai Jizong heard this, he was also happy and said, "Then I'll go find the master first. The ones who built our house last time were pretty good, so I'd better hire them this time."

"Okay, you go discuss it with your third uncle, he will make the decision on this matter." The old man became the hands-off shopkeeper as usual, not because he wanted to be lazy, but to give enough respect to the elder brother of the clan.

Plus, as you get older, you will inevitably have a sense of futility and fear.I am busy with some things, and my brother walks much more briskly, and his vigorous appearance seems to be back to his youth...

How can there be any secrets in a small village? Before dinner time, every household knew about the renovation of the ancestral hall.

Early on the next morning, the young and old men in the village were busy following the clan leader.

The door of the ancestral hall should be opened, old items should be carried out, and damaged areas should be marked to make sure they are well aware of them.

Tai Jizong quickly went to ask the master, and the master decided on the materials, such as the number of bricks and tiles, the amount of wood, and the duration of the construction... After all this fuss, there was a lot of noise.

As a result, the nearby Zhangjiacun and Liujiacun all knew about it.

What is enshrined in the ancestral hall are the tablets of ancestors and ancestors, and sacrifices must be made during festivals and major events.

Anyone who is thoughtful will not want to repair the ancestral hall neatly and beautifully.

This is not only filial piety to the ancestors, but also means the prosperity of the clan.

Liujiacun just paid it back. After all, they had received some unexplained money and had already renovated the ancestral hall.

However, Zhangjiacun is really worried. They can only look forward to a good harvest of corns in the autumn. Then they will have to squeeze out a few taels of money, even if it is just to repaint the ancestral hall...

And amidst such busyness, He Shan and others slowly integrated into Taijia Village.

The villagers thought they were here to do work, and the master craftsmen thought they were villagers or hired from outside.

He Shan and others are strong, practical and never talkative, which makes the master and villagers very fond of them. They all want to ask them where they come from and look for them if there is any work in the future...

Two or three days later, when all the materials were ready, Mr. Tai went to the city to find Ban Xian'er, calculated it for a good hour, set off firecrackers, and then officially started construction.

Although women cannot enter the ancestral hall, they can only help cook and boil water.But you have to do your best for such a big thing!
Coincidentally, a big order was completed in the workshop, and Yang Lihua had another day off.

The women all gathered near the ancestral hall, doing some work and chatting.

It happened that a matchmaker came into the village and planned to find out whether the boy in Taijia Village wanted to get a wife or the daughter wanted to get married, it was her "good business".

Although the clan leader has already given instructions, in the past one or two years, the villagers have refused to marry and have been focusing on making money to live.But this doesn’t stop the women from gossiping!

So, the matchmaker was surrounded in the middle, chatting away.

The matchmaker was so happy that she thought she would be able to draw two red threads today, but she was so thirsty that the women stopped talking to each other.

On the other hand, Tai Jijin's daughter-in-law and grandson Meihua were very enthusiastic. They were asking questions in and out of the surrounding villages who gave the higher betrothal gift.

After seeing off the disappointed matchmaker, the women winked at each other and said goodbye.

Third Aunt Tai asked, "Ji Jin's wife, you only have one son in your family and he is still young. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Sun Meihua felt a little guilty and responded in a low voice, "Nothing, just asking casually. I was thinking about how much dowry gift my son should give when he marries his wife in the future!"

Of course, everyone didn't believe it and looked at her and sneered.

Third Aunt Tai even hit her directly, "Oh, do you really think so? Are you still plotting against Chunhong and Erya'er? I can tell you, Chunhong and Erya are no longer your daughters. , even if they want to get married, it’s the step-grandfather’s daughter-in-law’s responsibility to worry about, so don’t make a bad idea!”

"That's right, you sold your daughter as a cashier. Now don't think about marrying your daughter to make a fortune. That's too shameless!"

"It's better not to be too immoral as a human being, or be careful of retribution."

The other women are also supporting in a weird way, and a hundred of them look down on Sun Meihua! (End of chapter)
