Chapter 177
"My family's radish seedlings are not as good as those of the second elder brother's parents." Meng Shisanye glanced at the small cabbages in the field next to him, and felt even worse.

Wuye Meng smiled even more when he saw a large pile of Malang cabbage and amaranth thrown together with weeds on the edge of the cabbage field.Regardless of thirteen, I started to squat down to pick up Malangcai and amaranth.

Shisanmeng's eyes are also hot when he sees such fresh amaranth and malangcai, but now he has more important things to ask Xinci.

Fu Xinci had seen the straw sandals in Master Shisan's hand a long time ago, so she said in a very understanding way: "Master Thirteen, do you want to ask about the straw used to weave the straw sandals?"

"Yes." Master Meng Shisan replied with a smile, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, this little girl is smarter than others.

"Master Thirteen, you have to find this kind of grass along the meadow by the river."

"Really?" The Thirteenth Master received the little girl's reminder, thanked him, and walked along the river.

Fu Xinci saw it, and hurriedly reminded: "Master Thirteen, you look for it from our side, don't go to the other side of the river."

"Hey, thank you for your kindness."

They all knew that walking along the small river would lead to Wujia Village, and they didn't even know what village it was. None of them had been there.

Only when the land on this side of Xiaohe belongs to the second brother's family, and Master Meng Shisan got a little girl again, would he have the courage to look for it.

Mrs. Zhou was still mowing the grass. She looked over when she heard voices. Seeing her husband approaching, she asked a little puzzled, "Boss, have you returned from the guard?"

"Miss, I didn't go to the guard, it was Fifth Brother who helped me to ask. You see, these are straw sandals like this."

Mrs. Zhou was also surprised when she saw it, "The straw sandals are really different from ours. Look at them, they will keep you warm in winter."

"Well, Fifth Brother said it, and Mr. Qi said that if this kind of straw sandals can be wrapped with a layer of cowhide, they can walk in the snow."

"Really? If only we could do that, otherwise our feet will be frozen this winter."

"I'm going to look for this kind of grass along the river now."

"Master, I'll go with you."

"Row."

Fu Xinci watched the couple walk away talking and laughing, and saw Fifth Master pick out a bunch of wild vegetables, and he was not afraid of getting dirty, picked them up and happily went home.

Among the Meng clan, there are also these ordinary people.

In the evening, the family sat down to eat, and Fu Xinci found out that, under the persuasion of Craftsman Zhang, grandfather and cheap father were planning to dig another cellar.

This Fu Xinci agrees, the storage of vegetables in the cellar in winter is one aspect, and it can hide people in times of war.

After hearing what his granddaughter said, Grandpa Meng fell into deep thought.

After a while, I thought about it, so I discussed with my son about digging a hidden cellar.If something bad happens like this, it is also a way out.

"Grandfather, shall we open another door in the cellar?"

"This is complicated. When you come tomorrow, Uncle Qi, I will discuss it with him."

"Grandfather, I think our family should be digging a well."

Hearing her daughter's suggestion to dig a well, Fang felt that there was no need to waste it so much, so she said, "Ci'er, our house is not far from the river, so it doesn't take much effort to carry water."

"Mother, it's not about the distance from the river. After listening to me, you will know whether our family needs to dig a well."

"The winter here is very cold, and the river will freeze. Is it difficult for our family to dig holes in the ice every day?"

"Mother, and the most important point, this river looks clear, but it flows from the guardhouse..."

Fu Xinci didn't say the following words, but Qi He knew, "Those soldiers bathe in the small river every day, they are covered in stinky sweat every day, and every one of them has big stinky feet."

"Ugh~" Fang thought that what they were eating every day was the bath water of those soldiers, her stomach was churning, and the rice in the bowl was no longer delicious.

Fu Yu: "It is imminent to dig a well at home."

Fu Xinci: I agree with both hands.

Yu'er: I also agree.

Grandpa Meng: "Tomorrow, I will find out where there are well diggers."

In this way, the matter of digging a well for the Meng family was put on the agenda.

The next day, Grandpa Meng mentioned it to Craftsman Zhang, and Craftsman Zhang immediately said that there was a well-digger in the Thousand Households. He happened to go back tomorrow and brought the well-digger along.

Grandpa Meng also reminded him, "I have to bring some carts of blue bricks back."

"Don't worry, you won't forget about it."

Craftsman Zhang moved quickly. He went back to the Qianhu Office the next day and brought five well diggers with him.

It is said that this is a family, surnamed Gao, Mr. Gao has two sons and three grandsons.

The third grandson of the Gao family is not very old, about the same age as Qi He, but physically stronger than Qi He.

It's strange to say, I don't know why these two people see each other so well, it can be described as hit-a-piece.After a while, I played in one place.

Mr. Gao could see that he was capable. With his naked eyes and decades of experience, he could judge the most suitable place to dig a well.

He also sincerely said to Grandpa Meng: "This is close to the water source. The little old man suggests that your well should be dug to a depth of three or four feet."

Grandpa Meng really didn't study the matter of digging a well, and he didn't understand it, but he was very satisfied after hearing what Brother Gao said, thinking that what he said made sense.

With the attitude of not being suspicious of employing people, and doubting that people should not be used, he said to Mr. Gao: "As for digging wells, both father and son are laymen, so we will follow what Mr. Gao said."

Mr. Gao was also very satisfied with the attitude of Grandpa Meng and his son. Within a few days, the well of the Meng family was dug, and a clean well platform was built outside.

Grandpa Meng and his son were very satisfied. Fu Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind, so he dragged his old father to the side and discussed, "Father, you said that everyone in this family is good at digging wells, do you know how to dig wells?" Digging a cellar?"

With his son's reminder, Grandpa Meng thought it was very possible, so he immediately asked Mr. Gao.

Mr. Gao is a strong man, so he agreed without the slightest hesitation.

...

And the fact that Meng Shisan could weave straw sandals was known, and people came to order straw sandals in an endless stream.

No way, it's cold here in winter. For the poor, such straw sandals are very practical and cheap, and ordinary people can still afford them.

Especially for members of the Meng clan, almost every family ordered straw sandals.

With so many orders, which one has several pairs, or even a dozen pairs.

With such a huge number, Mr. Shisan Meng couldn't handle it all by himself, so he taught Mrs. Zhou how to weave mats.

The couple's busy hands at home didn't have time to rest. Shuang Bang was doing odd jobs at home to help Mrs. Zhou mow the grass. Only when she was free, could she come to the second uncle's house to sit for a while.

But he never disliked him, and he would go back when it was time to eat, and he would not eat the leftover meal.
