Chapter 23 23. Commencement

Grassroots still has some ways, and they knocked on Su Yao's door after two days.

As soon as he entered the door, with a smile on his face, he reported to Su Yao the news he had inquired about: "Sister, I found out clearly that there is a family in Xiyan Village to the east who wants to build a house, and they invited Yan Jinchuan's engineering team. Dongping Village has a The house needs to be refurbished, which is also Yan Jinchuan's job, and it is behind the one in Xiyan Village, not far from our place, and it takes two hours to go back and forth."

"The project he did?" Su Yao rubbed his chin playfully: "You said I would do small jobs for them for free, do they need me?"

These days, doing projects means earning some food. Su Yao is a girl's family, and the little food from the autumn harvest is enough for her to eat.Raising a family is something that men do, and she still wants to do a small job. The grassroots thinks that there is something wrong with her brain, but she dare not say this: "Sister, what are you doing? You have to work with men. .”

Su Yao glanced over, and the grass roots fell silent.

Seeing that Su Yao's face softened a bit, Caogen smiled and said what he hadn't said: "I just think it's too tiring for you to follow along. Besides, women are generally not allowed to intervene in these jobs here."

Su Yao raised her eyebrows: "How about you do it for me?"

Grass root's smiling face froze on his face: "If I had that diligent heart, I wouldn't come to your house to steal food."

When Su Yao was at the patriarch's house that day, he also felt Yan Jinchuan's displeasure.In addition, since I am a girl, it is really uncertain whether I can join the engineering team.

Looking at the grass roots, Su Yao had an idea: "Aren't you short of food for the winter? I'm going to build a courtyard wall. You go and learn how to make adobe and how to lay foundations. After you learn it, I will give you food and you will do it for me." live."

Grassroots thought it was Su Yao who wanted to learn how to build a house, but when he heard that Su Yao was only learning how to lay foundations and make adobe, his mind became aroused: "I can do this kind of work wherever I need to learn."

Then he smiled: "I will work for you, how much food can you give me?"

"You're thinking about the benefits before it's dry?" Su Yao was a little disbelieving: "It will look good when it's dry."

The grassroots were not angry either: "Sister, actually when I was young, my father wanted me to follow Yan Jinchuan and the others to learn crafts."

"However, the work of building a house is really not done by humans. Newcomers like me are usually handymen, responsible for moving bricks and soil, and they are as tired as dogs after a day's work."

"I'm lazy, and I wanted to quit a long time ago, but my father saw that he had no choice, so he continued to work for two years. Then my father left, and no one cared about me, so I didn't stay here any longer. There."

"When I used to work with other people, making adobe and laying foundations were all small jobs. I was basically doing it, and I was already a skilled worker. You just leave this job to me. If the quality is not good, don't say I have no face to take the food you gave me, and I will pay you back."

Su Yao looked up and down: "You don't have any food to eat yourself, what can you give me as compensation?"

Grassroots scratched his head and did not reply.

Su Yao can't sleep all day if the courtyard wall is not circled.

Can't wait for Yan Jinchuan, Su Yao can only do it himself.

Patting the grass roots on the shoulder, Su Yao made a promise: "Come and work for me tomorrow, if you do well, I guarantee you won't be hungry this winter."

Grassroots smiled instantly, rolled up his sleeves: "Okay."

***

Grass root has a bad reputation in the village, and Su Yao is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Unexpectedly, this time the grassroots really did not lie.

Early the next morning, Caogen came to the door with a car borrowed from someone else's house.

The specially dug loess was filled in the bucket of the cart, and it fell on the ground, and cheerfully shouted to the courtyard: "Sister, I'm here."

After pouring out the loess in the bucket, Caogen was not in a hurry and lit two firecrackers that he had brought over.

After two beeps, the grassroots began to work.

Stones were also needed to lay the foundation for the courtyard wall. The grass roots were busy making blanks, but Su Yao couldn't get in, so he wandered around the back mountain by himself and found suitable stones.

There is a stone mountain in the back mountain. There was a lime factory here to get stones in the early years.

Now the lime factory is closed, but there are still a lot of fragmented stones blown down from the back mountain.

The stones for the foundation should preferably be regular in shape.Su Yao glanced at it and saw that the stones were all in strange shapes.

Su Yao walked into the pile of stones, intending to rummage through them one by one.

Holding a calf-high stone with his hand, Su Yao moved it hard, and the stone rolled down.

Su Yao froze on the spot, looked at his hands, then at the stone under his feet, and confirmed again and again that it was not paper, Su Yao was dumbfounded.

When she was first reborn, Su Yao struggled to peel a single corn stalk, but she managed to peel one corn stalk, while others managed to peel three corn stalks.

Later, as the days got longer, Su Yao's working speed increased, faster than those in the village who had worked for more than ten years. He thought that he had done a lot, and practice made perfect.

Now that he was moving the stone, Su Yao realized that his strength was so great.

Su Yao, who didn't believe in evil, turned his head to find a bigger stone, put his hand in the right place, and swung it hard.

I thought it was a waste of effort, but I didn't expect that the stone was lifted up easily.

After the conjecture was verified, Su Yao couldn't figure it out. Her strength didn't come from rebirth, which meant that it wasn't her golden finger.

Whether it's the original body's more than ten years of growth experience, or his own feelings, he knows in his heart that this is not the result of extraordinary talent and training.

After thinking about it, Su Yao set his goal on the mountain spring water he drank every day.

Being strong and strong is a good thing in the countryside. After thinking about it, Su Yao didn't worry about it anymore, and quickly picked stones from the pile of stones.

The road up the mountain was difficult, Su Yao came here with a basket on his back, and three big rocks filled the basket, Su Yao returned to Xiahe Village.

Grassroots is also working very hard today. When I go out, there are already more than a dozen pieces of adobe on the ground.

Seeing Su Yao carrying a stone on his back, Caogen put down his work and helped unload the basket.

When the back basket was all on his body, the grass roots trembled under the pressure.

Instinctively, my legs moved apart, causing the basket to fall straight to the ground: "My good sister, you are too strong. I can't even lift such a big basket. How did you carry it back?"

"You really can't move?"

Su Yao's rhetorical question made the grass roots feel ridiculed.He shook his head helplessly: "If Yan Jinchuan knew you had such great strength, he would definitely take you back. You alone can do the work of at least three people."

Grassroots took out the stones one by one and threw them in the corner for later use, his face flushed from the force.

Seeing that he was exhausted and flustered, Su Yao brought out a glass of spring water.

The two stood in the sun, two steps apart.

It fell into the eyes of those watching the theater in the corner.
