My royal husband has a little field

Chapter 286 Division of Labor
Xi Xingyun nodded.

Chi Ziyu felt a little more at ease, so he took the knife and cut the bamboo strips.

Qi Xingyun looked at her, "Don't touch this, it hurts your hand."

Chi Ziyu smiled, "I'm not afraid, you have to be careful yourself, didn't I give you a pair of gloves today? Why don't you put them on, because there are so many thorns on the bamboo strips, you are not afraid of pricking your hands."

But Qi Xingyun put the glove beside him and handed it to her, "Put it on."

"There are only a few bamboo strips left, and it can be done in two strokes. You only need to wear gloves when weaving later."

While talking, Chi Ziyu had already cut the last bamboo strips.

A pile of thin and long bamboo strips on the ground.

Qi Xingyun didn't wear gloves, so he had to ask Chi Ziyu to put them on for him, "Don't be brave with me, you are not made of stone, and you will be the one who gets scratched and hurt, so you have to trouble yourself I'll give you medicine, and then I won't give you any more."

Qi Xingyun laughed: "You really scared me like a child."

"Now you need my careful care, so you are almost a child. I must take good care of you, and I won't let you get hurt again."

"By the way, have you found someone to build a house?"

"I'm on the road today, and Lao Wu said that he has time recently and can come to our house to help, so I have to ask some people to help me cut some thatch tomorrow."

Considering that the cost of building a mud-brick house is too high, Chi Ziyu's plan is to make these houses into thatched houses.

It can also protect against wind and rain, and it is also very affordable.

Most people in the village actually use this material to make their houses.

"For the kitchen, we still make a mud-and-tiled house, which is safer."

"Well, that's fine. I'll clean up the side of our house first, and let Lao Wu come over tomorrow to see what needs to be changed."

"Remember to wear gloves."

The fourth family of Xi'er wants to hire someone to do the housework. Yesterday, Chi Ziyu spread the news with many aunts on the way to the market.

The people in the village are warm-hearted.

What's more, Chi Ziyu promised to pay wages, two renminbi a day, and meals.

The aunts were all moved when they heard this, two coins is not low.

They are all peasants, and they don't have much income. Such a good opportunity can't be missed, so they all said that they would call their men to help.

It's not the season of spring plowing yet, and we don't have a lot of work on hand. We just have work to do and money to make, so why not do it.

So a group of people gathered in the courtyard of Tianxi's house, including some women.

Generally, the women who dare to take the initiative to do these dirty and tiring jobs are from poor families, and they have developed a special ability to endure hardships, even better than some men.

Chi Ziyu thought about it, maybe she would become one of them in the future.

Before doing things, Chi Ziyu assigned them some tasks.

Some people went to the mountains to cut thatch, and some went to dig the soil to prepare materials for the house.

The rest followed Lao Wu to dig the foundation of the kitchen at Qi's house.

Generally, when digging ground, one would look at the almanac first, and Chi Ziyu deliberately chose today, which is suitable for ground breaking.

Before breaking the ground, according to the custom, a hanging firecracker was set off and incense was burned for the land owner.

Xi Xingyun was inconvenient to move around, so he couldn't help them, so he just sat in the yard and weaved his shaukei.

Chi Ziyu called Qi Duodi to come over and build a temporary pot.
