Happy peasant girl

Chapter 271
"Just leave it to me to find a carpenter. I'll let them all come to Xiyuan to look for you tomorrow." Lin Zhongguo said.

"That's okay, I'll wait for them in Xiyuan, and I'll pay them the wages on a daily basis."

"it is good!"

Soon, the carpenters who were notified by Lin Zhongguo came to Xiyuan one after another, and after hearing about the prefabricated houses mentioned by Linqingxi, they were all eager to try. What about the house.

A few days later, carriages filled with large wooden boards and bamboos headed towards Lishui Bay and Beishan Bay. At this time, the sky began to drizzle again.

After the carpenters arrived at the place, they first removed the straw sheds by the victims, and leveled the open space with a shovel.

Because Linqingxi didn't tell the victims about the construction of prefabricated houses in advance, the victims were caught off guard. They thought that Linqingxi wanted to drive them away.

"Brother, what are you guys doing?" The men and women were all plowing the fields in the rain, and only the old man and the children stayed in the hut.

"Old man, don't get me wrong, this is the hostess girl who sees you pitifully, and says that it's always raining this day, and living in thatched shed is easy to get sick and cold, so let us come and build some temporary wooden houses for you with planks, and wait until the house over there After they were built, these wooden houses were demolished without waste. It’s raining, old man, so go to the thatched shed next to you to take shelter from the rain.” Ding Xiaoru’s father, Ding Qiangsheng, was the owner of the prefabricated house. Foreman", since he finished making wine barrels with Lin Zhongguo, he and his two sons have stayed in Linjia Village to help with some carpentry.

Now the left-behind victims are even more excited. It is enough to have a straw shed to shelter them from the rain, but they only live there for two or three months. Unexpectedly, Linqingxi wanted to build a wooden house for them to live in.

"It doesn't matter if it's raining. I'll help you put the grass aside. The girl said that this grass is also fertilizer and can be fertilized." The old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa, I'll help you too!" Several children of the victims also heard the conversation between Ding Qiangsheng and the old man, and they also happily came to help.

After a while, all the old people and children who stayed in the thatched shed came out in the rain. Some helped unload the planks, some helped move the grass, and some helped lift the bamboo.

Ding Qiangsheng led all the carpenters to start building the outer frame of the house. The strongest wood and boards were used at the bottom, and the four columns were buried deeply, but lighter boards were chosen around the house and on the roof.

In this way, even a man who is strong enough can sleep on the plank without any problem, and the bed and other things can be put down inside.

When it was almost noon, some women came back to cook. All the food and vegetables here were brought back by Linqingxi from Pingling County and five farms, and someone came back every two days to deliver fresh vegetables.

From a long distance, they saw someone dismantle the thatched shed, and then use wood and bamboo to jingle and beat.

At first, they were also terrified, thinking that they would have no place to live again, but it didn't take long for them to see those people building wooden houses quickly, and they built them very quickly.

When they returned home to cook, several wooden houses had been built, and children and old people had already moved in.

"The girl said, you cook outside. Pay attention to fire prevention, and don't let children play with fire. These wooden houses are afraid of fire." Ding Qiangsheng said to the women.

"No, we will definitely take care of these children and pay attention when cooking." The women said quickly.

"We don't play with fire." The children also promised.

After the meal was ready, Ding Qiangsheng and the others ate together, and then started to build the house again after the meal. It took a total of five or six days to build all the prefab houses, and it happened to be raining heavily at this time.

With the wooden houses that can shelter from the wind and rain, the victims are no longer afraid, and after Lu Zhiming and Wei Ming both heard about the wooden houses, they also began to ask people to build such prefab houses for the victims in Yunzhou.

After solving the problem of food and housing for the victims, and most of the paddy fields can be cultivated extensively and intensively, Linqingxi personally put on rain boots and joined them in building ridges.

"Linqingxi, just let them do these things, why do you want to go down by yourself?" Xin Moyang held Linqingxi, not wanting her feet to get muddy.

"Xin Moyang, how do you plant the land if you don't go down in person? Farming is not something that can be commanded by one person. Besides, I have to check how to make the ridges so that the rice seedlings can be planted better. Although some water has flowed into the nearby rivers, but These places have different depths and shallow waters." Lin Qingxi took his hands from Xin Moyang's.

"Then I'll go with you!" Xin Moyang also put on his rain boots and pulled Lin Qingxi along.

"Let's go together too!" Wei Xuan didn't like Xin Moyang pulling Lin Qingxi at every turn, but after all, he was much older than Xin Moyang, and there was an agreement between the two of them, they had to compete fairly with Lin Qingxi.

So, the three of them walked together to the rice field that was about to be trimmed, and someone was already measuring the height of the water in the rice field with a small wooden stick of the same height as Lin Qingxi said.

After walking a certain distance, Lin Qingxi began to bend down and put her hands in the water, groping underneath, her sleeves rolled up high.

Every time when her hands come out of the muddy water, Wei Xuan and Xin Moyang can see that her white and tender skin is stained with mud, not only do not feel ugly, but feel that Linqingxi at this time is the most beautiful .

After Linqingxi's investigation, she began to ask people to forge the field ridges according to the range she gestured, and also asked people to go to nearby rivers and lakes to catch some fish fry.

Not only that, the nearby small river and lake, Linqingxi, were dug deeper and turned into ponds, and then lotus roots were also planted in the ponds.

After two months of hard work, the wasteland Linqingxi bought finally became the rice field in her mind, and then she brought people to start raising seedlings.

After raising seedlings, she taught those people how to transplant seedlings.At the beginning, many people either planted the rice seedlings crookedly, or they were not strong enough. Fortunately, Linqingxi has been guiding them, and soon they planted the rice seedlings in neat rows just like Linqingxi. The "Guardian".

After transplanting the seedlings, the seedlings grow very quickly, and someone will come to take care of "them" every day. Whenever there are weeds, they will be pulled out.

However, at this time, apple snails, the pest that caused the most headaches for the southern people in the past, also appeared in the rice fields. The reason for the large reduction in rice production in Chu State was that there were more pests in the water, and the people did not know what to do with them.

Apple snails look very similar to field snails. Linqingxi knows that they are relatively large and have a strong ability to adapt to the environment. Like the reproductive "sacred place".
