After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Before Zhang could be surprised that Qin Yao, a woman who couldn't even make clothes, heard her say that she wanted to build a new house.

I thought about it in my mind. I just bought so many things yesterday and paid off the debt to the third child, but I still have money to build a house. How much money is enough?

During the six days they went up the mountain, they probably hunted something bigger than they could even imagine!

Mrs. Zhang was so shocked that she didn’t know what to say, so she could only shout towards the back of the house:

Master, come quickly, the third family is looking for you!

He and Qiu in the west room heard the noise, stopped what they were doing and came out.

Qin Yao immediately rushed over with the cotton and cloth in her arms, Sisters-in-law, can you help me make some clothes?

I have three pieces of cloth here. I will make a set of winter cotton clothes for Dalang and I's four children. Then I will make a lining for each of them. The red piece will be used to make New Year's clothes for the four of them. It will be festive.

Qin Yao spoke so quickly that neither He nor Qiu had a chance to speak, so she finished her request.

She was giving people jobs so openly that even if she just ate the meat she bought yesterday, she felt a little unhappy.

Moreover, they are busy weaving now. If they help Qin Yao make clothes, they will waste a lot of time.

But soon, Qin Yao said again: When I bought the cloth, the shopkeeper helped me calculate it. After finishing the three pieces of cloth and cotton that I asked for, there is still a lot left. If the two sisters-in-law don't dislike it, I will treat it as Well done for the hard work.”

Hearing this, Mr. He and Ms. Qiu suddenly remembered to take a look at what kind of cloth she was holding.

They are all made of cotton, and the cotton I buy is the best. It has big fluffy flowers and looks warm at first glance.

The most special thing is the red cloth. Colored cloth is expensive. If you follow Qin Yao's instructions and only make clothes for the four little ones of Dalang and his sister, with their tailoring skills, you can still make clothes for adults.

The golden treasures and golden flowers at home can be made by one person.

There is a lot left over from the other two, which is enough to make a blouse for my parents-in-law and my own man.

The two sisters looked at each other, smiled, and said that Qin Yao was too polite and reached out to pick up the cloths.

He hurriedly took the big bag of cotton and the needle and thread that Qin Yao had brought into the house, and said politely: Brother and sister, you are too polite. You even have the needle and thread ready.

Qin Yao smiled and said, Thank you, sisters-in-law. It's all thanks to you.

Brother and sister, please don't say that. The whole family will be divided if you say that. My sister-in-law and I can finish it in two or three days and send it to you then. Mrs. Qiu smiled softly. She had a quiet temperament and spoke in a leisurely manner. The slow sound is nice too.

Sister-in-law He is completely different, very lively.

Old man Liu came over. There seemed to be a little stain on the corner of his clothes, and the smell was spreading as he walked.

Mrs. Zhang stepped aside and continued to pick her vegetable seeds, but her ears perked up.

Old man Liu sat down at the square table in the main room, poured a bowl of water, drank it all in one gulp, put down the bowl, and asked doubtfully: Third wife, what's the matter?

Qin Yao sat down on the bench opposite him, told her about her plans to build a wall and renovate her house, and asked Old Man Liu if he had any money-saving experience to teach.

Old man Liu thinks this is a good thing, but he has to ask how much budget Qin Yao has.

If we just build a wall, we can go to the river to pick up stones and lay them as a foundation, and then go to Nanshan to dig some soil to surround it. It won't cost much money, it just takes some effort on our own.

But if you want to renovate the house and build tiles, you won't be able to save money.

Qin Yao nodded, I know this. To be honest with you, I gained quite a lot from my trip to the mountains this time. After paying off the debt, I still have seven or eight taels left, so I thought I might as well use it to repair the house. To avoid having to sleep in fear when winter comes.”

In fact, there were only twenty-five taels left, and she had reservations.

Mrs. Zhang paused while selecting vegetables, and Mrs. He and Mrs. Qiu from the West House also paused while threading needles in their hands.

They were all calculating in their minds how much money Qin Yao had earned from this trip to the mountains.

Just for these three pieces of cloth and cotton needlework, I need almost ten taels. Yesterday's big bags of fine rice and sundries, I definitely need five taels.

In addition to the seven or eight taels mentioned now, and the thirty-eight taels I paid off the debt to the third child yesterday, this makes it sixty taels!

Hiss~ The two sisters looked at each other and took a deep breath.

Old man Liu was also shocked. He couldn't hold it back and asked curiously: Young man, what kind of guy did you hunt when you went into the mountains this time?

Qin Yao replied calmly: A black bear.

There's nothing to hide. They didn't ask yesterday. Of course she wouldn't go up and tell people that she had killed a big black bear.

But whenever anyone asked, she answered.

For a moment, everyone in the old house stopped, only the hens were still clucking in the yard.

It wasn't until Qin Yao coughed that everyone came back to their senses. They couldn't calm down anymore. They stood up and gathered around Qin Yao, asking her how she did it.

Qin Yao said concisely and concisely, That's it, then that, and that's it.

Everyone in the old house: . You know nonsense.

However, I also knew that Qin Yao had no intention of explaining the process to them in detail. She angrily did not ask any more questions, and with all kinds of imagination in her mind, her eyes looking at Qin Yao became much more awe-inspiring.

Qin Yao ignored this and discussed with Old Man Liu the details of building a house, including who to find, how to arrange the work, where to buy materials, how much time it would take, etc.

Old man Liu was in a good mood. He felt that Qin Yao asking him this question meant that she took her father-in-law seriously.

Building a house is actually very easy as long as you have money.

During the two months of slack farming, each family was just doing small tasks like adding some fertilizer to the nearby fields, and the village was full of people.

Four generations back in Liujia Village, they are all from the same ancestor, and the clan is united. Old Man Liu is a senior man, and he can call in a lot of strong laborers with just a greeting.

Building a house is not a technical job in the eyes of country people. Even if you don't know how to do it, you have seen others building houses.

In this way, technical work types have mature conditions.

We also need a chief engineer. Old Man Liu recommended Uncle Jiu who lives at the entrance of the village. He has rich experience and high prestige. The young men dare not disobey. With him under his control, there will be no situation where there are multiple styles on one wall.

I heard that Qin Yao wanted to add two more rooms, as well as a kitchen and a bathroom. Although Old Man Liu didn't know what a bathroom was, he treated it as one room.

If all bricks and tiles are used, the budget will be high, so he suggested a combination of earthen walls, wooden beams and tiles.

In fact, further south in Kaiyang County, there are wooden houses built with wood. This kind of wooden house is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is much more comfortable to live in than adobe house.

Originally, Old Man Liu really wanted to recommend it, but when he thought about the high cost of these woods, he had to prepare them one or two years in advance, and they couldn't buy them all at once, so he gave up.

I bought the tiles in Xiahe Village. The hillside of Nanshan is covered with dirt. I will just go and tell the village chief and clan chief. We will use the soil from there to build houses in the village.

Old Man Liu drank another bowl of water and frowned in embarrassment, We are still short of wood now. The third child has been separated. His patch of forest has been sold out long ago. You have to buy it from the villagers.

The weight of the tile must be supported by beams. Good beams are not cheap either.

Qin Yao asked: How much silver will it cost?

Old man Liu said, About four taels.

Qin Yao: Today is another day where I want to beat up Liu Laosan!
