"Got it, got it. By the way, how much should I add depends on the feeling, right? Can I try it here? Otherwise, I might not get it right at home."
"Of course! We're just mixing the soil, so it's a great time to learn quickly. You guys don’t know, when Miss Liu taught us back then, she guided us step by step to practice. Hehe, come on!"
The few people who wanted to learn could serve as free labor; they just needed to be directed.
The scene was bustling with activity. Initially, it was thought that pulling a few people out for teaching would slow down the Construction progress, but in fact, the opposite happened. The learners were full of enthusiasm and energy, working diligently.
This unexpectedly allowed the Construction Team to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After nearly two months of hard work, dozens of people sweating profusely finally completed all the houses in Sanhe Village.
As time went on, those who had not destroyed their houses and were preparing to build new ones became clients of Liu Qingxi, which is why they stayed in Sanhe Village for such a long time.
When they finished work in the afternoon, Zhang Wuliang let out a sigh of relief: "Great job, everyone! Our Ten Li Pu will definitely keep getting better."
Building nearly twenty houses is no small feat. Even though they were all single-story buildings and not modern apartments, each brick still had to be stacked up.
"Isn't that right? I've never felt this hopeful about life before." This was the heartfelt sentiment of the men.
"Alright, we haven't really rested much during this time. Today we finish early; go home and take a good rest. Tomorrow we’ll continue working. If anyone can’t handle it, just let me know and you can take a break tomorrow."
Zhang Wuliang was indeed considering that they had been working non-stop for over a month without any breaks.
By evening, with such early mornings and late nights involved in physical labor, he worried that these men might not be able to keep up.
To his surprise, they were all fired up and excited, walking faster and faster: "Village Chief, we're not tired! We’re full of energy! No worries; we’ll keep going tomorrow."
"Exactly! What’s there to rest for? We’re used to working; resting makes us feel uncomfortable."
Moreover, the wages from Ten Wen were a tremendous temptation for them.
With this income, making ends meet was completely manageable, and there would even be some savings.
For the first time encountering such stable work, they could earn money throughout the year except during the harsh winter. Having this job was equivalent to having stable employment, comparable to modern civil servants.
Zhang Wuliang naturally would not dampen everyone's enthusiasm; after all, the more work he had on hand, the more it piled up.
People have this psychology: the less work you have, the more they think you are incapable and lack skill. The more work you have, the more people will come to you.
It creates a situation where things get better and better or worse and worse.
Once the situation opens up, everything else follows naturally.
As for Liu Qingxi? Although Zhang Wuliang and Zhang Tiegen, along with a few Elders from the beginning, could handle all matters related to the Construction Team, Liu Qingxi was not idle either.
Her positioning of Ten Li Pu and these individuals went far beyond that.
On this day, it happened to be Liu Qingyan's day off. Besides picking him up in town, she could also take care of other matters.
“Qinglian, come with me to town today.”
After studying diligently for over half a month, the girl’s perseverance and ability to endure loneliness made Liu Qingxi feel ashamed; she hadn’t studied that seriously when she was in school.
Recently, every time Liu Qinglian followed Liu Qingxi to study, she also enjoyed a meal here, and her face was no longer as gaunt as before.
In her words, this life was comparable to a dream; it was something she never even dared to imagine.
She often mentioned her parents, urging her to learn well from you, so that if Aunt asks, they would know how to respond.
This is why she could be so carefree.
Of course, this was also the first time Liu Laowu and his wife had something to hide from the Qin Family and others.
So, people need to push themselves a bit; only when you reach a certain point will you feel compelled to act, which gives you the motivation to overcome everything you were afraid to do.
The current situation of the Liu Family's Fourth Branch and Fifth Branch is like this. If things continued in darkness, they would have accepted it, but just a glimmer of hope has supported them step by step.
As for Liu Qinglian, upon hearing that Liu Qingxi was taking her to town, she was so excited that she started dancing: "Second Sister, can I really go to town?"
"Of course! Why would I lie to you?" Liu Qingxi patted her head. "I’m taking you out to see the world; later, we’ll go even further."
Liu Qinglian was just happy; this was her first trip to Biqi Town. Since fleeing to Ten Li Pu, the farthest she had been was a few nearby villages.
Suddenly, another person flashed through her mind. Every time she saw her practicing writing, she felt envious but didn’t dare to speak up. Perhaps Second Sister would agree?
After several mental preparations and building up courage, she still couldn’t bring herself to say it. She felt a bit embarrassed about wanting to bring someone else along with Liu Qingxi. Would that be inappropriate?
The girl’s expressions were vivid and colorful; in Liu Qingxi's eyes, she seemed transparent—one look and it was clear what she wanted to do.
"If you have something to say, what’s stopping you from telling Second Sister?"
"Second Sister, can we invite Qingju? She also wants to learn." After saying this, she lowered her head in shame, feeling that her request might be a bit too much.
Liu Qingxi paused for a moment; she had indeed overlooked Liu Qingju. After all, Liu Laowu only had this one daughter, and that thought was deeply ingrained in her mind.
As Liu Qinglian, a girl from the Liu Family's Fourth Branch, was indeed often overlooked.
"Go, go, hurry up and call her. Let's get going quickly."
Before the words were finished, Liu Qinglian dashed out, running all the way to the cave, just in time to see Liu Qingju at the entrance. "Hurry up, hurry up! Second Sister is taking us to town."
"Really?" Liu Qingju's eyes sparkled brightly. "Can I come too?"
"Of course! Hee hee hee, I’m with Second Sister, and she agreed. Hurry up, the Ox Cart is waiting."
The two girls held hands, not bothering to linger, and shouted to Zhao inside, "Mother, we're leaving now. We're going to town with Second Sister."
Then they quickly disappeared from sight. When Zhao came out, she only saw their retreating figures.
Shaking her head and sighing, she felt relieved that they were with Liu Qingxi; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to relax about these two girls.
At Liu Qingxi's doorstep, a robust Yellow Cattle was panting heavily. Liu Qingxi sat at the front of the cart, her confidence shining through despite her simple clothing.
For convenience in traveling, she wore men's clothing, looking like a handsome fellow.
With a smile on her face, she said to the two astonished girls, "Get in the cart quickly."
