Chapter 197: Wall Completed
After wandering around in the mountains for most of the day, although Shen Li was very careful, her clothes were inevitably scratched by the thorns, and the hem of her skirt was also stained with some mud, making her look a little disheveled.
When Shen Li returned home, only her sister-in-law and Bai Yao were at home. Her sister-in-law was walking while holding her waist, and Bai Yao was sitting under the eaves making clothes. Judging from the material, it should be for her.
"Little sister is back, have you eaten yet?"
"Sister-in-law, I've eaten in the mountains, so I'm not hungry now."
"Bai Yao, help me prepare these two Ganoderma lucidum and this wild ginseng."
Bai Yao took the thing wrapped in leaves from her hand, opened it and saw that the wild ginseng inside was about a hundred years old and of excellent quality.
"it is good."
Having been exposed to medicinal materials since she was a child, she naturally knew how to prepare them. After putting the cloth into the room, she started to plan the medicinal materials.
Then ask if the wild ginseng is prepared for my sister-in-law's childbirth. Giving birth is already a journey through the gates of hell for a woman, let alone in this backward era, it is even more painful.
Besides, my sister-in-law is going to give birth soon, so these things have to be prepared in advance, otherwise I will be in a hurry when the time comes.
Shen Li took out the orchid from the backpack and went into the house to bring out some beautiful flower pots.
Seeing that she was dealing with flower pots, stones and soil, Xu Taohua also watched from the side.
Shen Li not only brought back orchids, but also brought back soil, stones, and even some moss.
Shen Li found a small stool and started planting orchids. These orchids were all taken out from the space.
After the transformation of the space, these orchids are no longer as delicate as before and do not require as much careful care in the future.
Aunt Yang passed by Shen Li's house. She had very sharp eyesight and saw Shen Li playing in the mud through the crack in the door. She curled her lips.
The Shen family doesn't pamper their daughter like this. Look at what they have become?
What kind of girl of this age is still playing in the mud at home all day? What a shame!
After muttering a few words in her heart, she turned around and walked away with her butt twisted. This girl has a sharp tongue and she doesn't want to get into trouble!
When Shen Changshan and his friends came back, all sixteen pots of Shen Li's orchids had been planted in the pots.
The flowerpot has been moved under the eaves. There is moss in the pot that Shen Li has laid. Together with the beautiful flowerpot, the orchid that has not yet bloomed has been elevated to a higher level of style.
The whole family saw it and thought she was just growing them for fun and had no idea of the value of these orchids.
Bai Yao had no research in this area at all. What she knew most about were medicinal herbs and needlework.
"Mom and Dad, why are you back so late today?"
"It took a little longer to build the wall, so it's a little late."
Bai Yao’s medicinal herbs have been prepared and the rice is being cooked. The aroma of the food is already wafting out.
Several people have been busy all day, and even though they are in good physical condition, they are still tired!
After dinner, everyone took a shower and went to bed. Shen Li also went to bed early tonight because she had entered the space to plant flowers.
I was busy in the space for a long time, doing cuttings and transplanting.
After finishing all this, he helped to deliver a litter of captive pigs. He was busy all night, and by the time he had used up his mental strength and wood-based abilities, it was already midnight.
I turned over and went to sleep. I still had a lot to do the next day, so I didn't need anyone to wake me up the next morning. The biological clock formed on the road would wake me up on time every morning.
It was just daybreak, a drizzle had begun to fall outside, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in fog.
The ground outside was wet, which showed that it had been raining for some time.
As soon as Shen Changshan walked out of the room, he heard his little daughter ask, "Dad, it's raining. Will it affect the construction of the wall?"
He did not reply immediately, but looked up at the sky for a while, and then spoke after a while: "It shouldn't rain heavily, I'll go ask Carpenter Chen later."
"Ah."
After breakfast, the rain in the sky was still drizzling. It didn’t seem heavy, but after going out for a while, my hair was covered with fine raindrops.
After dinner, Shen Changshan went to find Chen Jian. After talking for a while, he saw that the rain had lessened a lot and immediately decided that it was not a good idea. If it really rained, it would not be a matter of a few days.
Fortunately, God was on his side and the rain stopped after an hour, so everyone sped up cutting the wall.
Shen Li also wanted to help, but the family strongly stopped her, so she had to move some blue bricks to them.
In fact, these jobs are now easy for the province, but it seems that the family is afraid of getting too tired.
Shen Changshan: "There are so many people here, Ah Li can go and have fun by herself, we can handle it."
Lin Cuicui: "Ali, a girl's hands can't do these rough jobs."
Shen Jingyuan: "With my big brother and parents here, there's no need for Ah Li to do it. Go and play."
Shen Qi'an: "Girls can't do such rough work. If you are bored, go to the mountains to play."
Shen Yuanzhou: "Father, mother, eldest brother and third brother are right, let's go play."
Looking at the family's attitude, Shen Li wasn't really a child, so where would she really go to play? She was just doing some light chores on the side.
By mid-afternoon, the outer wall was completed, but the inner one was still a little short of completion. However, with everyone's efforts, it was done in half an hour.
During the lunch break, Shen Changsheng asked Shen Qian to go to the county to exchange one or two taels of silver for copper coins. After the villagers finished their work, he settled the money neatly.
After sending off the villagers' work, there were only the workers brought by Chen Jian and Shen Changshan's family on the village committee side. The workers were packing up, and Shen Changshan and Chen Jian were talking.
Chen Jian took out a silver note and handed it to Shen Changshan, "This is five hundred taels of silver. I'll give it to you."
"Row."
This was earned by his daughter with her own ability. Shen Changshan reached out to take it and put it away. After calculating it this way, it seemed that this house did not cost a lot of money.
The house has been repaired, and he will go to pay the balance tomorrow. The balance for the furniture and bricks and tiles has not yet been paid.
Shen Li was also walking around the house, checking to see if there were any shortcomings while the craftsmen were still there, as it would be troublesome if she discovered any problems later.
Her yard was at the back. Knowing that she liked bamboo, Shen Changshan specially asked the craftsmen to leave a door in the backyard. Once opened, there were emerald green bamboos.
When the workers were digging the yard, there was an old tree root in the yard. When they dug it up, they found water oozing out from underneath.
Shen Li's spiritual power followed the flow of water downwards and discovered that there was groundwater underneath. So she asked someone to dig a pond and pile up stones on the outside. In the future, she would cover it with lawns, plant lotus flowers, and raise some fish. It would be perfect.
