Chapter 23 Recruitment
Within a moment, many villagers were standing under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. They were all whispering about whether something happened when the village chief summoned them.

When the village chief saw that almost everyone had arrived, he cleared his throat and said, "It's a good thing to call everyone together today. The Xu family's old house is planning to build a new house. I have been asked to ask who's labor force in the village has not found a job yet. At twenty cash a day, what's the price?" A lunch will be included, and if you want to work, sign up with me!"

The villagers below were all talking about it, and they all whispered to each other, "What, Lao Xu's family is going to build a new house? It's twenty cash a day, so much wages, is it true?" Another person answered, "I see. It's not false. The village chief said so. It must be true. Twenty cents is not low! Anyway, my family signed up." After saying that, he raised his hands and shouted loudly to the village chief, "Village Chief, I sign up. Forget it. I'm the only one!" When other villagers saw someone signing up, they all shouted to sign up.

The village chief pressed his hands and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Anyone who wants to sign up will come to my house later. I'll register first. It's getting late. Let's go home and discuss it. Before dinner, I will send the list of people who want to work to my house." Xu family, let’s all disperse!” Everyone walked towards their own homes, and their companions were confused that the old Xu family was going to build a new house. It seemed that they had money in their hands, and they all looked envious.

At this time, Lao Xu's family had already prepared dinner and were ready to eat.At the dinner table, Qibao said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I plan to build a courtyard house. I will go to the master later to see if there are any drawings for house construction. I wonder if anyone in our village can understand the drawings?"

Mr. Xu said, "Your village chief's grandpa's son Chun helped people build houses in the town a few years ago, but how could there be so many houses to be built in the town? He didn't worry about the whole family, so he didn't go to other places to help. When people build houses, they go home and farm. In their free time, they go to the town to do part-time work! He can probably understand the drawings."

After hearing this, Qibao said, "Okay, then the village chief grandpa will come to our house later. You can talk to him about this matter. As long as the village chief agrees, Uncle Chun Sheng will come to the house at noon tomorrow to get the drawings." Mr. Xu agreed.

After the meal, Qibao found time to sneak into the space. Xiaoling was very happy to see his master coming. He was usually the only one in the space, so he must be very lonely. Thinking about this, Qibao played with Xiaoling for a while. He said, "Xiao Ling, my family is going to build a new house. I wonder if there are any drawings for building a house in the study?"

Xiao Ling said, "Yes, I know where it is. I'll take the master to get it." After that, he jumped ahead and entered the study. Xiao Ling pointed to a row of bookshelves and said, "It's right up there." Qibao waved his hand. He took down the stack of drawings and put them on the desk. He sat in front of the table and looked through them one by one. Most of the houses on the drawings were more modern, and they looked good. However, in this ancient time, they lacked It's the materials, no wallpaper, no latex paint.

Just when Qibao thought he couldn't find the style he wanted, he saw that the bottom drawing was very similar to the house type he wanted, so he took it out and observed it carefully. The whole yard was in the shape of a "mouth", and the overall shape was It uses blue bricks as the structure and wood as the beams. It looks very antique, low-key and atmospheric. When the time comes, the floor will be paved with bluestone slabs, which is clean and easy to clean, and the materials used to build the house are all in this era. As soon as I could buy it, I immediately decided to build it.

After choosing the drawings, I went out to see how many vegetables Xiaoling had collected. I saw piles of various vegetables in the warehouse piled on the ground. I was very satisfied and praised Xiaoling. Xiaoling saw that his The master praised himself, and his tail was wagging happily like a fan. Looking at it, Qibao felt that the little spirit's tail would be broken off by himself in the next moment. He explained to the little spirit again, and then came out with the drawings. space.

When Qibao came to the main room, he saw that the village chief had finished discussing with his grandfather. When he was about to get up and leave, Qibao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, village chief, please take this drawing back to Uncle Chunsheng. I won't bother Uncle Chunsheng tomorrow." I made a special trip. If he doesn't understand anything, he can come to me." The village chief agreed, took the drawings and left.

Then Qibao called his brothers together and said seriously, "Brothers, I am going to start training you tonight. Now let's start with the basic skills and follow my movements." The younger ones heard that their sister wanted to call them Lian Wu quickly replied in unison, "Yes!" Qibao spread his legs outward as wide as his shoulders, his body sank, and he put his hands into fists on his waist, saying, "Brothers, do this to me, stay still for a quarter of an hour. After finishing, rest for a while, squat for another quarter of an hour, and then run around the yard ten times. Tonight’s training is over!”

Several boys followed their sister's posture and imitated it. After a few breaths, Xiaoliu lost his balance and fell into a squat. He quickly got up and continued to squat.

I don’t know how long they have been squatting, but the brothers are already unsteady, their legs are shaking, and there is sweat on their foreheads, but they are still holding on.

Qibao looked at it and nodded repeatedly. It seemed that her brothers were very determined. The squatting horse stance was nothing to her. Many trainings in her previous life were many times crueler than this, but now she has the soul of an adult and the body of a five-year-old child. , sometimes the body is far less responsive than the brain, and you have to start all over again.

"Okay, quarter of an hour is up, brothers, please rest first!" As soon as Qibao finished speaking, several brothers immediately collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.Seeing this, Qibao said, "You can't lie down immediately after exercising. It's not good for your health." His brother couldn't understand what he said about heart rate, so he could only express it this way.

The brothers immediately stood up again. After a short rest, Qibao said, "Okay, it's time to rest. Keep doing the same movements as before." He took the lead and started doing it.When it was time to squat this time, Qibao ordered, "Take a rest for a while, and then run ten laps around the old house. You have just started, and you will gradually increase the amount of exercise on your own in the future." Several children agreed in succession.

After Qibao and his brothers completed ten laps, the boys were sweating profusely, panting, and unable to say a word.At this time, Mrs. Wang said, "Everyone who is sweating profusely, come in quickly and wipe yourself. Ask your mother to get some clean clothes. Don't let the wind catch you cold." After saying this, she wet the handkerchief and helped Qibao wipe it. The body said distressedly, "Qibao, do you have to practice? You are a girl, why are you practicing these things? Let your brothers practice, and then let your brothers protect you!"

Qibao replied, "Nai, I must practice. This is what the master told me. The master said that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body. Besides, my brothers can't be by my side all the time in the future. It's better to have some self-preservation ability." ." Wang had no choice but to give up after hearing what Qibao said.

By the time everyone finished washing up, it was already completely dark, so they all went back to their rooms to sleep...
