Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 166 3 Courtyard is about to be completed

The carpenter nodded repeatedly and said affirmatively: "I understand what you mean, of course there is no problem."

An Yue smiled sweetly at him and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master!"

The carpenter turned to his son with a smile on his face and said, "When we have free time, let's make a bath tub like this ourselves. Your mother will definitely be full of praise when she uses it."

The 13 or 14-year-old boy next to him smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, I want to try it out after Dad makes it."

An Yue took a hammer and began to hammer the uneven spots on the floor of the main hall.

Suddenly, a voice came from above: "Girl, get out of here quickly, we have already covered here, I am afraid that if we are not careful, the tiles will fall and hit you, that would be terrible!"

An Yue quickly stood up and walked away, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll leave now."

She stood under the eaves of the main hall, looking at the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly had an idea.

She wanted to pave a pebbled aisle from the gate of the yard all the way to the eaves of the pen.

In this way, even if it has rained, your shoes will not get dirty or slip when walking in and out of the yard.

If you think of something, you must do it. She put down the hammer in her hand, picked up the backpack under the eaves, and walked straight out of the yard.

She wanted to pick up the gravel outside the yard, carry it into the yard, and lay the gravel densely along the corner of the wall.

An hour passed.

She ran back and forth by herself, sometimes squatting, sometimes standing, and soon the gravel road from the pen to the gate was paved.

After paving, she stood on the gravel aisle and walked back and forth, very satisfied.

Turning her head to take a look inside the poultry pen, An Yue had another thought in her mind.

She remembered that not long ago, when she came to see this wasteland with her grandparents, she stepped on a mossy stone slab and fell. At that time, she found several long stone slabs there.

Suddenly, a clever idea came to her mind.

She planned to have someone bring the long stone slabs to lay in the pigsty.

This not only makes it easier to clean the pig's feces later, but also prevents the pigs from digging into the pen.

The carpenter in the house had finished building the gate to the yard, and the father and son were preparing to install it. An Yue walked over to help and hold it.

Time flies, and two hours pass in a flash.

Before I knew it, it was time for lunch.

Since the stove had not been built in the new house yet, she could only cook on the small earthen stove outside.

An Yue planned to make two dishes. The first was to stew a pot of pork and bamboo shoots, and then make a dish of cold shredded radish, a combination of one meat and one vegetable.

She rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.

First light the fire and stew the pork and bamboo shoots in an iron pot.

An Yue added the firewood, washed her hands, and then started to cut the radish into shreds.

She cut the radish into slices that were neither too thin nor too thick, and then arranged the slices neatly.

Holding the radish slices in his left hand, he held the kitchen knife in his right hand and cut quickly, with powerful and crisp strokes.

At this time, the aroma of meat in the iron pot began to slowly spread in the air.

A few people who were laying tiles on the roof smelled the aroma of meat floating in the air, and laughed and joked: "Haha... Girl, smelling this aroma, I'm afraid there will be meat for lunch again?"

An Yue cut radish into shreds and replied loudly with a smile: "Yes."

Wang Hu said, "I didn't expect Yueyue's knife skills are so good at cutting vegetables. It seems that I have to let Wang Ke'er cook more at home in the future."

An Yue replied: "Brother Ah Hu, do you always bully the weak at home?" There was a hint of playfulness in her voice, which made people want to laugh.

Wang Hu quickly complained, "How can that be! It's good enough that that girl doesn't bully me as her brother." His tone was full of helplessness, which caused the others to burst into laughter.

Several people on the roof were talking and laughing while working.

The midday sun scorched them, and their cheeks looked shiny with a little sweat.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the air was filled with the enticing aroma of meat.

Before long, An Yue's dish was ready.

After lunch, everyone found a comfortable place to lean back and take a short break.

An Yue walked down the path, preparing to take a look at the vegetable garden.

When we arrived at the vegetable field on black soil, we saw that the tender seedlings of tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes and other vegetables had grown to more than one foot tall. The spinach would be ready to eat in less than half a month.

I walked a few steps forward and saw that the sweet potato seeds that my grandmother helped plant had grown a lot.

I looked at the paddy fields not far away.

Only then did An Yue remember that she had asked Brother Anqing to help her grow rice and wheat.

At that time, she gave all the rice and wheat seeds to him, and she didn't know whether Anqing had planted the seeds in the fields.

After saying that, she walked towards the yellow land a little further away.

From afar, I could see a patch of tender green in the yellow soil. When I got closer and took a closer look, I found that it was wheat seedlings, now half a foot tall.

An Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She muttered to herself, "Fortunately, the wheat has been planted in the field, but I don't know whether the rice seeds have been planted in the field. If the rice seeds were not planted in the field, the fire at the An family would have burned the rice seeds."

An Yue walked into the wheat field, squatted down, and pulled out the weeds in the wheat field.

Although the wheat had grown, An Yue took a closer look and found that the wheat was suspected to be malnourished. The wheat leaves were obviously yellowish and not as thick as those grown in fertile soil.

She picked up the tall weeds and pulled them out quickly, then hurried back to her new home.

An Yue returned to her new home and saw everyone was busy with their own work.

She greeted everyone and then turned her attention to the vegetable patch in the yard. Since no vegetables had been planted yet, the whole yard looked a little empty.

Now that spring has arrived and flowers are blooming, An Yue is thinking about planting some vegetables in the vegetable garden, preferably varieties with a short growth cycle and easy to care for.

She thought about it and the only thing she could think of for the moment was pakchoy, so she decided to plant it.

But there are no vegetable seeds at the moment, and I can’t spare the time to go to town these days.

She looked up at Wang Hu, who was laying tiles on the roof, and thought that the elders in the family usually had the habit of saving vegetable seeds. She asked him if he had any vegetable seeds.

An Yue raised her head and said loudly, "Brother Ah Hu, is Auntie at home today?"

"Yes, Yueyue, is there anything you want to talk to her about?"

"I wonder if Auntie has any cabbage seeds left? Yueyue wants to share some with her."

"I really don't know. Why don't you go to her house and ask her?"

When asked, he really didn't know, after all, he and his son had been working away from home all year round.

"That's fine! I'll go ask right away, but you guys up there, you better be careful!"

After An Yue finished speaking, she walked along the path towards the main road.

——Half a quarter of an hour later.

An Yue came to the gate of Wang's house. She raised her hand and knocked gently on the gate of the yard.

A middle-aged woman in the yard asked:
