Mingxi had no idea about the dispute between Heshang Village and Hexia Village. For her, breakfast after getting up was more important.
Because the iron pot was also stolen yesterday.
There are only three valuable things in the village: everything with iron, everything with cotton, and all grain.
How to make breakfast without a pot? Mingxi rummaged around the house and found a clay pot that was not damaged. He washed it several times and boiled hot water. Then he gave Ye'er a few pennies and asked Ye'er to go to Aunt Cao's house to buy eggs, and called Man Jing went to her aunt to borrow a bowl.
Using a simple clay pot, water, eggs, and some sugar, Mingxi cooked a full pot of poached eggs in sugar water and gave each daughter a bowl.
The white and tender poached eggs are floating in the sugar water. Take a sip and it will be sweet. Take a bite and it will be soft and waxy. The middle of the yolk has a wonderful warm orange color and a slightly flowing texture, which satisfies the stomach that has been silent all night.
The mother and daughter gathered around the small wooden table to have breakfast, with comfortable smiles on their faces, as if they had completely forgotten the panic and fear of the theft last night.
Because it was so delicious, Xiaoxue held the bowl and swung her legs happily. She had good food to eat for several days in a row. Her little face was whiter than before, and her hair seemed a little thicker.
Ye'er was more aware of worries than her two younger sisters. While eating, she asked Mingxi: "Mom, do we have to go to the county town again today? We need to buy bowls, oil cans, and some rice..."
Ming Xi shook his head and said, "I won't go. Every day, uncles and aunts go to the county town by bullock cart. We can ask them to help us bring some things back. We have other big things to do today!"
"What's the big deal?" The three daughters all raised their heads and looked at Mingxi without blinking, full of curiosity.
Ming Xi grinned, "Hey, mother bought both Yi'er Mountain and the wasteland at the foot of the mountain. Of course we have to go up the mountain to see our own land today."
Xiaoxue excitedly raised the bowl and shouted: "Go up the mountain! Go up the mountain!"
Man Jing asked with bright eyes: "Mom, will our family be regarded as landlords from now on?"
Ye'er's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. Although she was still young, she also knew that the landlord's family owned a lot of land and a lot of grain. Since her mother had already bought the mountains and land, she should be considered a landlord, right? Will there be endless food in the future? Never go hungry again?
Thinking of this, Ye'er's face turned red with excitement.
Children don’t have too many extravagant expectations. If they don’t go hungry, they already feel extremely happy!
Mingxi was amused by Manjing's words. She thought about it and nodded with a smile: "I can barely count myself as a small landlord now. If you like it, I will try to become a big landlord in the future!"
Xiaoxue was so excited that she raised the bowl to her head, "I want to be a big landowner! A big landowner!"
Mingxi stood up and took Xiaoxue's hand, "Let's go, I will take you to see where we will live in the future."
The mother and daughter went out happily.
I met some villagers on the road and knew that her home was stolen yesterday, so they kindly reminded Mingxi: "Members of the Ming family, please remember to lock the door to avoid being robbed again!"
Mingxi replied generously: "It's okay! The thief doesn't dare to come again!"
As the villagers watched Ming Xi and her three daughters walk away, they couldn't help but sigh: "This lady from the Ming family is really different. Her family was robbed, and she can still smile so happily."
"Otherwise, everyone would say that she has been enlightened by the God of Joy. She is joyful. No wonder she greets people with a smile every day."
"Yes, this God of Joy is really powerful. I didn't believe it when I heard Mrs. He talk about it, but now I have to believe it!"
"Let's worship the God of Joy later and be happy every day!"
……………………
Mingxi took her daughter past Zhao Lizheng's house and climbed Aizi Slope.
This slope looked like a dwarf when we first looked at it from the mountain. Now it is really tiring to climb up. If you live behind the dwarf slope, climbing back and forth to carry water every day will really be too much.
Mingxi thought to himself that the main reason was that the hillside was difficult to walk on. If a smooth road was built, it would not be strenuous to walk. As for water, it could be solved by digging canals.
These are all small problems, don’t be afraid~
She continued to move forward, and when she reached the top of the slope, she could see a large open wasteland, where a few small figures were busy.
Although Mingxi gave the five people a day off, in order not to suffer, they moved all kinds of daily necessities from home early, such as water tanks, buckets for carrying water, straw mats for sleeping, tables, stools, pots and bowls for eating. Ladles and so on.
Now they are working hard to build a house, otherwise they would have to sleep on the ground tonight!
First choose a piece of land, make it flat and clean, and then insert split bamboo into the four corners. Using the four corners as the base points, weave thin bamboo strips or branches into a wall shape, and fill in the gaps between the bamboo strips and branches. Weeds are then tied into bundles and staggered to form a roof. This is a simple thatched house.
This kind of house can barely protect against wind and rain. If the wind is stronger or the rain is heavier, the house will not be able to live in people. But the advantage is that it is simple to build. If a few people work together, they can build a house in two hours.
When Mingxi approached, he found that Ergou and Chaozi were squatting on the ground mixing yellow mud. They probably planned to put a layer of mud on the wall, which would not only protect them from wind and rain, but also further strengthen the house.
However, the house covered with yellow mud cannot be occupied that night because the moisture is too heavy, so we have to wait until the mud is completely dry before we can move in.
Ming Xi couldn't help but feel happy, thinking to himself: These people are not stupid. They usually do nothing but work, but they can actually work like a decent person.
The five people were also embarrassed when they saw Mingxi.
The short man rubbed the mud on his hands uncomfortably and explained: "We want to build a thatched house and then build a thatched shed next to the house. The sun is getting hotter day by day. We...we will build a shed and we will work later. You can have a place to rest while you are alive.”
The tone was extremely humble, fearing that Mingxi would not allow it.
Mingxi was very satisfied and nodded approvingly: "Well done. Whatever you need, prepare it today. You won't be able to leave the prison area until the holiday is over. I asked Uncle Niu to go to the county town to buy the tools needed for land reclamation. Later, I’ll send it to you again.”
After saying that, he ignored them and continued walking forward with his daughter in hand.
Manjing looked at the growing taller Yi'er Mountain in front of her and asked blankly: "Mom, we can't see the way up the mountain, how are we going to go up there?"
Mingxi said: "I will be a little tired today, but in the future, my mother will have someone build a climbing stone step! It will be very safe, easy to walk, and not easy to fall."
When Ergou, Chaozi and the other five people heard this, their hairs all stood up!
When she said "let people cultivate", could this "person" refer to the five of them, right? ? ?
Oh my God!
If it is difficult to open up wasteland, then it is extremely difficult to build steps on the mountain! It’s hard to be abnormal! It's hard to live or die! ! !
Who did they meet? She must be the devil!
