Chapter 87
Jiang Zhinuan wanted to keep the working hours within three taels of silver as much as possible. If he wanted to finish the construction as soon as possible, he would have to hire a lot of people.

Zhang Abo has contacts who can help her get the most affordable price.

In the end, the two of them discussed the whole package, including the mountain road she wanted to build, and the surrounding fences. Five people were invited to complete the project for about half a month and five taels of silver.

But to manage people's meals, the other materials needed are not included, and Jiang Zhinuan needs to prepare them in advance.

Jiang Zhinuan originally thought that apart from this house, other winding mountain roads could be repaired slowly by herself, but in order to avoid the so-called relatives, uncles and aunts looking for trouble, she decided to pay the five taels of silver and ask the workers to help her as soon as possible Build this halfway house.

On the same day, Uncle Zhang helped Jiang Zhinuan to renovate the small wooden house by the river. He simply nailed a small wooden bed, made it ready for the two children to sleep, and pressed a wooden door to ensure privacy and safety.

"Uncle Zhang, the weather is still early, let's move in today."

"Don't be so anxious. Your uncle and aunt just left, so they probably won't come back right away."

Jiang Zhinuan shook his head. What they were thinking about was her money. If they didn't get the money, they would definitely not let it go: "It's better to move here earlier to save worry. The weather is warmer and it's not cold to live in a log cabin. They will come to your house to look for it again. , you just say you don’t know where we’ve gone.”

Seeing Jiang Zhinuan's insistence, Uncle Zhang could only nod in agreement.

Jiang Zhinuan took the cotton cloth to support the bamboo raft and returned to the town with Uncle Zhang. After returning to the house to re-measure the size of himself and Di Qing, Jiang Zhinuan sent the cotton cloth to Aunt Su.

Aunt Su is waiting for her at home.

"If you don't come again, I will go to Lao Zhangtou's house to look for you."

Jiang Zhinuan smiled and handed over the cotton cloth: "I was delayed by something in the morning, I will send it to you as soon as I have time, and I have to work hard for you to help make the clothes."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, anyway, I'm fine when I'm idle."

"This is the size." Jiang Zhinuan handed over the memorized size: "My size, you can help me make a suit, and the rest of the cotton cloth will be made for my husband, as many suits as I can make."

Aunt Su laughed and teased: "In other people's houses, the ladies make a lot of clothes and change them. It's enough for a man to have two bodies and can change them. Why is it reversed when you come here?"

Jiang Zhinuan chuckled.

After all, she wants to lose weight, and she loses her body every day. I believe it won't be long before the newly made clothes will be a lot bigger.

If she hadn't had to ask someone to help build the house, Jiang Zhinuan would have replaced her two old clothes casually, but now that someone is coming to help, her old clothes are already a little fat and not very decent, so she gave it to herself Plan a whole body.

"Ms. Su, I have clothes to wear. Besides, I'm still losing weight. When I lose weight, I will make some beautiful clothes."

"Success, I'll listen to you. If you are in a hurry, you can pick it up in two days. If you are not in a hurry, you can pick it up in five or six days."

Jiang Zhinuan nodded in response: "Aunt Su doesn't need to be in a hurry to rush to work, and we are not too anxious. Don't worry, I will pay you the manual fee when the time comes."

"What kind of manual fee? If you want to say that, the cotton cloth will be taken back, and I will not do it. I am helping for free."

Jiang Zhinuan is embarrassed, how can I ask someone to help me make clothes for free.

Seeing her in a dilemma, Aunt Su patted Jiang Zhinuan on the shoulder: "I just want to eat small white strips. If you insist on paying for the workmanship, just send me a few fish."

"it is good!"

It is not difficult for Jiang Zhinuan to catch a nest of small white strips. Since Mrs. Su likes to eat them, after Mrs. Su finished eating the fish she sent yesterday, she will catch another fish and bring them over.

Back at Zhang Abo's house, Zhang Abo had already helped pack some things for moving to the reed hut.

Jiang Zhinuan looked helplessly and shook his head with a smile: "There is no need for these, you have already cleaned them up before you forgot, and the cabin is full of everything now, now that we move there, there is really no place to put it."

Jiang Zhinuan didn't want anything else, but Uncle Zhang insisted on getting Jiang Zhinuan another mattress to make the bed.

The two children can sleep on the small wooden bed now, and Jiang Zhinuan can't just spread a linoleum cloth to sleep on the ground.

"Okay, I'll take this mattress with me. Zhang Aberao, please invite the workers from the construction team. I'll wait for them in Houhe tomorrow morning and bring them there."

Uncle Zhang nodded.

Since he was going to leave, Jiang Zhinuan took Di Qing and the two children to the reed marshes on a bamboo raft while it was dawn.

Jiang Zhinuan was afraid that the original owner's uneasy uncle and aunt would come to trouble Zhang Abo, and before leaving, he repeatedly told Zhang Abo to insist that they had already left, and he didn't know where they went.

Seeing Uncle Zhang come down, he felt relieved to leave.

……

The reeds are swaying in the dark at night, only illuminated by the bonfire.

Jiang Zhinuan made a simple dinner, waited for the children to eat and sleep, then jumped into the river, swam a few kilometers back and forth and took a bath before going ashore.

There was a wooden bed in the cabin, and the children slept comfortably. Jiang Zhinuan went in with a stoop, and kissed their cheeks one by one before lying on the ground.

"Are you still doing the sit-ups you mentioned tonight?" Di Qing didn't sleep until she came back and asked.

Jiang Zhinuan shook his head: "Swimming has exhausted my physical strength, go to bed early, and workers will come to help build the house tomorrow, and I have to get up early to work."

After Di Qing threw a few of the firewood Jiang Zhinuan picked up into the bonfire outside the door, he shook the wheelchair and closed the wooden door.

The firelight only faintly shone some light, and Di Qing's wheelchair leaned against the back of the wooden door, and he slowly closed his eyes against the door.

Jiang Zhinuan quickly started snoring, and when he turned over, he was still raving.

At first Di Qing didn't hear clearly, but when he was about to fall asleep, he vaguely heard Jiang Zhinuan saying: "I will definitely let you live a good life..."

The next day.

Early in the morning, before the two woke up, Jiang Zhinuan made breakfast early, and went to Houhe with the bamboo raft.

Today, a worker came and had to take care of the food, so she had to go to the town to catch a morning market.

At least you have to buy enough bowls and chopsticks for everyone to eat, and then buy some rice, noodles, oil, meat and vegetables. Building a house is physical work, and you have to eat enough to have the strength to work.

When she bought all these and rushed to Houhe, Uncle Zhang was already waiting there with five laborers.

"Uncle Zhang, why are you here too?"

"I'm idle at home and I'm idle, so follow me to help."

A few of them got on the bamboo raft, which was unbearable, and there was no place for Jiang Zhinuan anymore.

Abo Zhang looked a little embarrassed: "This..."

"It's okay, Uncle Zhang, you know the reeds, you take them there first on the bamboo raft, and I will walk along the bank."

Right now, this is the only way to go, Zhang Abo nodded and led Ligong to leave first.

Those laborers were men in their thirties. Jiang Zhinuan was too embarrassed to jump into the river to swim in front of them. She could only wait for them to leave on the bamboo raft for a while before she jumped into the river with a plop. into the river and swam towards the reeds.
