Making adobe is not an easy job.
But this is the most economical way to build a house, and almost every household can do it.
The adobe mold was borrowed from Li Zheng's house. The soil on the ground was dug by Zhao Dashan from the other side of the village three days ago. It has been placed in the yard and soaked with water because the soil has poor viscosity and needs Mix a finger length of straw into the soil and stir together.
Zhao Sanniu is responsible for shoveling the soil into the mold, and Zhao Dashan is responsible for pounding the shoveled soil into a solid and smooth shape.
Cheng Wanwan sat on the edge and watched for a while, then shook his head.
This adobe can indeed build a house, but it is certainly not strong enough. In the event of heavy snowfall, violent storms, etc., the house may not be able to hold up and will often need to be repaired.
She really wanted to buy blue bricks, but the Li Zheng family only used blue bricks for the load-bearing pillars of the threshold, and they were mostly adobe. If she built a blue tile house, she would probably make the whole village envious and jealous.
But she could improve the adhesion of the adobe.
She bought a bottle of adhesive in the mall. It is a construction adhesive used in building houses in modern rural areas. It has long been eliminated in modern times, but it is a rare good thing in this era.
When Zhao Sanniu wasn't paying attention, she poured half a bottle into it. The soil became sticky to the naked eye, and the soil on the shovel couldn't be shaken off.
It may be a little tiring to make the adobe at this time, but once the house is built, the safety and service life will be better.
Before much of the adobe was produced, Zhao Youyin and Zhao Youcai's work was completed. Cheng Wanwan gave them daily wages, and each of them took fifteen cents to prepare to go back to work at home.
At this time, Zhao Sidan came back with a basket on his back. He was smiling: "Mom, I caught a lot of locusts. The chickens can eat their fill."
Zhao Youyin took one look and was shocked: "Why are there so many locusts?"
He saw sporadic locusts all over the world, and would trample them to death when he saw one. But now, half of his backpack was full of locusts, and they were buzzing, reminding him of the locust plague last year. Things were flying everywhere in the sky, eating up all the crops in the fields.
"It's normal to have locusts in the ground." Zhao Youcai didn't care very much, "As long as they don't fly over in swarms, it's not a big deal."
The two brothers walked away talking.
Zhao Sidan thoughtlessly took locusts to feed the chickens.
Chickens that eat wild vegetables are completely different from chickens that eat locusts. These chickens and ducks have changed every day since they started taking supplements. Before, they were still yellow and fluffy. In the past few days, they have slowly begun to fade and their size has increased a lot.
When the sun turned westward, Zhao Dashan and Zhao Sanniu stopped making adobe and went down to the fields to weed and fertilize.
Cheng Wanwan began to prepare dinner.
Fortunately, Wu Huiniang woke up while making dinner.
"Don't get up in a hurry, lie down." Cheng Wanwan pressed her shoulder, "The baby in your belly is fine. The main reason is that you are too weak and almost couldn't save the baby. Relax and take good care of the baby... …”
Wu Huiniang's eyes were filled with tears: "Mom, thank you, Mom..."
"We are all a family, so we can say thank you." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "I'll make you fish soup."
A fish was stewed into a milky white color, and the fish soup and the meat on the belly of the fish were all left for Wu Huiniang to eat. Wu Huiniang was filled with emotion and silently ate them all.
Divide the rest of the fish among the three children.
It's not that Cheng Wanwan doesn't like eating fish, but she doesn't want to compete with the children for food. If she really wants to eat it, she can secretly buy one from the mall and stew it for herself.
After dinner, it's still study time.
Because several children had not yet digested the knowledge points, Zhao Tiezhu was not allowed to come over to teach new content for the time being.
"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good."
"Sex is similar, habits are far apart."
The sound of reading aloud, over and over again.
Early the next morning, Cheng Wanwan was woken up by Aunt Wang.
After she came to this era, she got up very early every day, but she was still not as good as the natives here.
When she gets up every day, Aunt Wang has already been busy outside. At this moment, she is still sleeping, and Aunt Wang's voice sounds outside the yard: "Dashan Niang, don't fall asleep, get up quickly, something happened!" "
Something happened to Zhao Fugui.
Zhao Fugui was lying under the big locust tree with a pale face. Someone called him, but he didn't respond. He looked like he was dead.
But he would suddenly twitch, and then start talking nonsense.
"I was wrong, Zhao Youjin, I was wrong!"
"Youjin, please let me go, I will kowtow to you!"
"Don't come here! Don't kill me!"
Zhao Fugui's mother sat outside the circle of big locust trees, wiping her tears constantly and crying until her heart broke.
Many villagers stood and watched.
"Zhao Youjin appears, Zhao Fugui may die this time."
"He dares to bully other people's orphans and widows, so he should think of this."
"Who would have thought that Zhao Youjin would really show up? Not to mention, it's really a bit scary. I always feel a chill behind my back."
"My son!" Zhao Fugui's mother howled loudly, "You liked to steal and molest when you were a child. At that time, I thought you were still young and ignorant, and didn't care much. How could I have imagined that you would cause the catastrophe today... It was my fault. Well, it’s me, the mother, who didn’t teach you well..."
The genius is bright, and there are people under the big locust tree.
Cheng Wanwan squeezed into the crowd, and she glanced at it. Zhao Fugui's face was not only pale, but also abnormally red. He might have had a fever due to fear.
She slowly said: "I talked to Dashan Daddy, and Dashan Daddy agreed to let someone go in and take care of Zhao Fugui."
Zhao Fugui's mother immediately said: "Let me in, even if my son dies, he will die in my arms."
Cheng Wanwan shook his head: "You are too old, so you can't do it."
If he accidentally got electrocuted and something happened, Zhao Youjin would probably have his spine poked for the rest of his life.
Just at this moment, Zhang quietly appeared in the crowd.
She also heard people say that something happened to Zhao Fugui, so she came over to take a look. She didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Fugui. After all, Zhao Fugui was the most generous of all her gangsters... If Zhao Fugui died, the village would not Someone else is willing to mess with her.
As soon as Zhang appeared, she was noticed by the villagers and pushed to the front.
"Tsk, let Widow Zhang go in and take care of her. Doesn't she care about Zhao Fugui very much? She even wants to help him when he has a wife."
"Widow Zhang, you can be considered Zhao Fugui's woman. He is like this. You are not allowed to go in and take a look."
Widow Zhang turned pale with fright.
This place is being watched by Zhao Youjin's ghost. If she goes in, she will definitely be scared to death.
She shook her head desperately: "I have nothing to do with him, why should I take care of him? I have to go back to work, so get out of the way..."
She lowered her head and ran away quickly.
"Let me do it."
Aunt Fugui walked out of the crowd.
Her complexion was very poor, gray and tinged with blue.
But he walked towards the big locust tree without hesitation.
Cheng Wanwan was a little disappointed.
She thought Aunt Fugui would completely give up on Zhao Fugui, but she didn't expect that she would still devote herself to taking care of such a man.
Forget it, ancient women regarded their husbands as their first priority, and she shouldn’t use her modern concepts to judge.
Cheng Wanwan took two casual steps and cut off the power supply. After Aunt Fugui walked in, she turned on the electricity again.
