Seeing so many people coming to help, Tang Jiancheng simply expanded the wall a little further.
It is 800 meters long and 500 meters wide.
The total length is 2,600 meters.
All materials were collected on site and made of stones. In order to be stronger, Tang Jiancheng required the width of the wall to be 66 centimeters and 198 centimeters high.
This all has a meaning.
Sand and cement are useless, everything is glued with mud. This is a technical job that most people really can't do well.
Fortunately, the older generation such as Tang Sanshui and Tang Sanjin are very skilled. Although their strength is not strong anymore, they can still provide technical guidance.
Under their guidance, the fence was built in an orderly manner, straight, thick, strong and beautiful!
It was originally expected to take a month because of the large number of people who came to help. Moreover, they are not here to mess around and just look familiar, but they are really doing something real.
No effort was spared at all.
It was completed in just eight days.
Tang Jiancheng basically didn't spend anything. He just spent some money on food, tobacco, wine and tea.
The cigarettes and tea are all made at home and are not worth much.
As for vegetables, Tang Jiancheng took Tang Linbao to the mountains several times. They were very lucky and hunted six wild boars, as well as many hares, pheasants and the like.
Meat is open to supply.
In other words, I spent some money on rice, wine and vegetarian dishes.
But the total amount is less than 500 yuan!
Tang Jiancheng paid 300 yuan, Tang Jianbing took 200 yuan, and the matter was completed.
The whole family felt incredible after hearing this.
Such a large amount of work actually only cost so much money!
Before, one of the reasons Tang Genshui strongly opposed building a house here was that he was afraid of spending too much money. Now, he no longer objects.
During this period, Tang Jiancheng took Liu Fangfang to the county and sent his second, third and fourth sisters to Chengguan Primary School.
The teacher was a little curious when he saw that they were all over nine years old and only in first grade. When I learned that they were from rural areas, I immediately understood.
With Jiang Wanhe as the mediator, neither the school nor the education department made things too difficult. The procedures were completed quickly and the money was not spent much.
Fifteen yuan for one child, forty-five yuan for three.
It does not seem like much, but compared to the tuition fee of two or three yuan for ordinary students at this time, it is still quite expensive.
After enrolling his three children in school, Tang Jiancheng took Liu Fangfang back to the village.
Liu Fangfang took the time to talk to her three children about menstruation. Unexpectedly, her third sister actually understood it better than she did.
After asking, I found out that Third Sister heard this from several other cousins.
Back in the village, Tang Jiancheng continued to be busy building a house.
At this time, the third sister and the fourth sister came to the construction site of Uncle Du's house.
"Grandpa Du, we have to study tomorrow and can't come to work. Do you think you can pay us the previous wages?" Sanmei asked with a smile.
"no problem."
After a few days of contact, Uncle Du liked these two hard-working and capable children very much. "This is the record of your work these days. If you calculate it all, I should give you eight yuan and sixty-three cents."
"Do the math and see if there are any mistakes."
Third sister smiled and said: "Don't worry, Grandpa Du will definitely not send us away."
In fact, she asked Liu Kun to help her calculate it yesterday, and there were no mistakes.
After taking the money, the two said goodbye to Uncle Du.
"Third sister, we have earned so much money, can we buy some delicious food to reward ourselves?" Fourth sister said with a smile.
"Let's go."
The third sister waved her hand and took the fourth sister shopping.
In the past few days, they would walk around Wanhe Hall when they had time, and they had already walked around several times.
They also visited every lane and found out where delicious food was sold and where it was cheaper.
At this moment, they first went to buy a hollow glutinous rice cake.
Even though they earned a lot of money, they did not spend it lavishly. They were still very careful and spent every penny.
Then, they walked towards Alley No. 3 while eating hollow glutinous rice cakes.
At the very end of this alley, there is an old woman selling very good wontons.
They had eaten a bowl before and found it very delicious. They have been wanting to eat another bowl for a few days.
"Grandma Li, give us a bowl of wontons, they cost twenty cents!"
Third sister shouted loudly.
"okay."
Grandma Li is about sixty years old, with gray hair. She only has a small store, but she takes care of it neatly.
It didn't take long for her to bring a big bowl, and then some side dishes and chili.
"Grandma Li, give us a bowl of ten cents later. I want to take it back to my sister. When you finish eating, I will bring you the bowl."
Third sister said while eating.
"okay."
Granny Li smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't give it away. When I'm free, I'll go to Wanhe Hall to get it."
"Nothing to do anyway, just take a walk after dinner."
The third sister smiled, and she and the fourth sister started eating one bite at a time.
In the end, the two of them drank all the soup and were full.
"Third sister, it would be great if I could eat a bowl of wontons every day." Fourth sister touched her belly, looking very satisfied.
"You can definitely make money if you work hard." Third sister also leaned on the chair and touched her belly.
The fourth sister said: "Tomorrow, we will study, how can we make money?"
Third sister said: "You still have to study seriously. We have never read before, and we can't even settle accounts. We have indeed suffered a lot."
"Furthermore, my father sent us to the county to study in the hope that we would be successful in the future. Therefore, we cannot delay our studies just to make money, otherwise, our father will definitely scold us."
Fourth sister suddenly sat up straight and whispered: "Third sister, do you think dad will never beat and scold us like before?"
Third sister frowned, "It shouldn't be possible, right?"
"Ever since Xiaojiu turned ten days old, my father has never scolded us, let alone hit us, and he has never asked us or our mother for money."
"On the contrary, he goes out early and comes home late every day to earn money, teach us how to practice calligraphy, teach us how to guard against wolves, and play with us. He is better than any father in our village!"
"Now he sends us to study in the county, helps us decorate our rooms, and gives us a lot of living expenses. Therefore, dad has changed for the better and will no longer be the same as before."
The fourth sister said: "Third sister, why do you think dad suddenly became better?"
Third sister smiled and said: "Isn't this good? Do you still want dad to be like before?"
Fourth sister said: "Of course I don't want to."
Third sister said: "That's alright. As for why dad suddenly got better, we don't need to worry about it. Even if we ask, dad will definitely not tell."
The fourth sister nodded, "I hope dad will always be this good."
Third sister said: "So, we should work harder. As long as we get better, dad will definitely get better."
"right."
The fourth sister nodded heavily.
The two then gave Granny Li thirty cents and went back with the bowl.
The second sister just finished sorting out the medicinal materials and was resting at home. When she saw the two of them coming back with a bowl of wontons, she smiled and said, "Have you paid your wages today?"
"Yes. It's more than eight yuan!"
Fourth sister said happily.
