It was already past 6 o’clock, so Uncle Wang and Shuanzi might have already returned.
“Go on.” Liu Shi replied with a smile.
Lin Xiaoyue carried a bowl of duck blood curd and a bowl of mixed meat and went out.
She was surprised to find that a small thatched cottage had been set up outside her courtyard. Not only was Li Xiao there, but Uncle Wang and Wang Shuanzi were also there.
!!
Li Xiao was the first to see Lin Xiaoyue, but he just looked at her without saying a word.
Wang Shuanzi was the second.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Lin Xiaoyue holding two bowls in her hands, he smiled and asked, “what kind of delicious food did you make? I can smell it from the entrance!”
This was, of course, an exaggeration. However, it indeed smelled good.
Uncle Wang also stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a smile.
“Uncle, Shuanzi, why are you guys here?” Lin Xiaoyue walked towards them in surprise.
“Hehe, I got off work early today. When we came back, we heard that your…Li Xiao was building a shed, so we came to help.” Uncle Wang said.
“I didn’t help much. When I came, he was almost done!” Wang Shuanzi said cheerfully.
“Thank you!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly thanked them.
“Why are you being so polite? We’re neighbors!” Uncle Wang said.
“Yue’er, where are you going?” He then looked at the two bowls of food in Lin Xiaoyue’s hands.
Then, he quickly looked away and swallowed his saliva.
Uncle Wang actually guessed that Lin Xiaoyue was going to their house to deliver food. However, he was too embarrassed to say it directly, in case he guessed wrong.
“I made a lot of food and I’m going to send some to you.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Without waiting for Uncle Wang’s polite refusal, she continued, “I also wanted to ask if you and Shuanzi could find some time to help me build a house in two days.”
“Sure! We haven’t had much work recently, so I’ll just take a leave of absence in advance.” Uncle Wang said immediately.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
“Alright. I’ll bring the food to Aunt Wang first and talk to you when I come back.”
“Alright.” Uncle Wang responded with a smile.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue sent the food to Aunt Wang.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAunt Wang originally wanted to ask Lin Xiaoyue to stay for dinner, but Lin Xiaoyue refused.
Lin Xiaoyue said that she was going to discuss the house building with Uncle Wang and Shuanzi , so Aunt Wang didn’t insist.
After returning to the thatched shed, Lin Xiaoyue and Uncle Wang went to the side to chat.
After all, Uncle Wang was experienced. After listening to Lin Xiaoyue’s plan and her conversation with Jiang Dahe, he guessed that the Liu family needed a lot of manpower to build the house.
“It’s necessary to order bricks in advance. You’d better go to town with Li Xiao tomorrow and order a batch of bricks. I’ll immediately arrange for an ox-cart to transport them.”
“Yes, I think so too. Uncle Jiang asked me to order 4000 bricks first, and we’ll add more later.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“I’m afraid that one ox-cart is not enough.” Uncle Wang frowned.
“Uncle Jiang arranged for two ox-carts. My house has one, and Grandpa Shi from Shangyang Village agreed to come.”
Uncle Wang nodded.
“This should work. What about manpower? Did Jiang Dahe say anything about that?” He asked again.
“He did. There are eight people in Uncle Jiang’s construction team. He asked me to find another eight people in the village to help with the odd jobs. This way, the progress of building will be faster.”
