Chapter 286

Qi Xingyun nodded.

Chi Ziyu calmed down a little and took a knife to cut bamboo strips.

Qixingyun looked at her, "don't move this, hurt your hand."

Chi Ziyu smiled, "I'm not afraid. You should pay attention to yourself. Didn't I give you a pair of gloves today? You don't wear them. There are so many thorns on the bamboo strips, and you're not afraid to stick your hand."

Qixingyun handed her the gloves next to her, "put them on."

"There's only a little bamboo strip left. It can be done twice. You don't have to wear gloves until you make it up later."

While talking, Chi Ziyu had finished cutting 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 let Chi Ziyu put them on himself. "Don't try to be strong with me. You're not made of stone. You'll hurt yourself if you're scratched. You'll have to trouble me to give you medicine. I won't give you medicine at that time."

Qi Xingyun laughed: "you really frighten me as a child."

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

"By the way, did you find someone to build the house?"

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

Considering that the cost of making mud tile houses is too high, Chi Ziyu's plan is to make these houses into thatched houses.

It can also prevent wind and rain, and it is particularly affordable.

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

"In the kitchen, we'd better make a mud tile house, which is safer."

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

"Remember to wear gloves."

……

Chi Ziyu spread the news with many aunts on his way to the market yesterday.

The people in the village are warm-hearted.

What's more, Chi Ziyu promised to give wages, two silver a day and rice.

Those aunts are excited to hear that. Two coins and silver are not low.

They are all farmers. They don't have much income. We can't miss such a good opportunity, so they say they want to call their own men to help.

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

So that day, a group of people, including some women, gathered in Qijia's yard.

Generally, women who dare to take the initiative to do these dirty and tiring jobs are too poor at home. When they have to, they have developed a special ability to bear hardships, even better than some men.

Chi Ziyu thought, maybe she will become one of them in the future.

Before doing anything, Chi Ziyu assigned them a task first.

Some people go to the mountains to cut thatch, and some dig earth to prepare materials for houses.

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

Generally, this kind of excavation will first look at the Yellow calendar. Chi Ziyu chose today to start the construction.

Before the ground breaking, a firecracker was hung according to the custom to burn incense for the land lord.

Qixingyun is inconvenient to move and can't help them. He still sits in the yard and compiles his Shau Kei.

Chi Ziyu called qiduodi to build a temporary cooker.
