Chapter 156: A Grand Construction Project

Jiayin would occasionally glance through the complex characters. She found them quite troublesome and couldn't recognize them all. So, she nestled into Cui's arms, acting coquettishly to persuade her...The pampered young master, like a monkey, scurried around in the valley for a while, and finally grabbed the village chief's hand, excitedly.

"Uncle, thank you for believing in me. Rest assured, I will definitely turn this place into a fairyland, no, the Queen Mother's Yaochi! If the construction is not good, I will... eat my shoes!"

The village chief's smile couldn't stay on his face anymore, it was truly a godlike idea.

To ruin their entire village's livelihood and then expect him to eat shoes Shoes for silver

But since things had come to this, he could only grit his teeth and accept it, "Then in the future, I'll have to trouble Young Master Yan!"

Yes, this monkey-like playboy has a very righteous name, Zheng!

I don't know which elder named him, I can only say that I hope it was for the best. Reality is cruel though…

He remained there on the beach of Broken Gold, even after all the craftsmen had gone home for the night.

In the evening, sitting by the bonfire with villagers, holding large earthenware bowls of vegetable porridge and nibbling on flatbreads, we discussed how to build houses in the valley. Each family had their ideas about the types of houses they wanted, and everyone was full of practical advice on how to save materials and money. It seemed like everyone knew exactly what they were talking about.

This finally put the villagers' hearts at ease. This man looked unreliable, but he also had some real skills.

Jia Yin was also sitting on a small stone, her oiled paper packet open. A group of little children surrounded her, each with a piece of osmanthus sugar, licking it with great satisfaction and their saliva dripping onto their clothes.

Several half-sized children at home were also very hungry. They squatted playing not far away, but their eyes kept glancing over the oil paper packet in Jia Yin's hand, filled with longing.

Jia Yin called out in a sweet, childish voice, "Brother, brother!"

Homey and Housejoy immediately ran over, and the rest of the candied osmanthus flowers were then sweet to a few mouths.

When the elderly and women saw it, they all praised its beautiful sound.

"Our little Fú Niú is such a good child. She's never stingy and always shares half of whatever she has."

"Yes, and he never cries. Whenever you see him, he's always smiling and cheerful. Just looking at him makes you feel happy."

"Auntie Li really picked a good name, 'Fu Niu.' She's definitely the luckiest little girl! Don't even get me started on how Mrs. Cui treats Fu Niu like her own daughter, and Young Master Ye, he never lets go of her whenever he comes over, always holding her."

When the crowd chatted and gossiped, the Li family members listened with delight and pride.

That night, Yan Zheng slept in the communal shelter with the villagers. He was so excited that he even got up in the middle of the night and patrolled with Li Lao Si and the others...

The next day, the grand construction project began with a tremendous roar.

As the sky just began to lighten, almost everyone in the village who was able to move had gone up the mountain.

Felling trees, mowing grass, and continuing to clear land.

When the sun was high in the sky, Li Lao Si stayed behind. Liu Biao Tou and Li Lao Er, along with Yan Zheng, took the silver and set off in a carriage to buy materials.

At noon, the first truckload of lumber had arrived at the valley.

The villagers worked together to unload the items, and then the stones arrived...

Things flow in like water, and money flows out like water.

Fortunately, Ye Shan went back to the city and brought the 600 taels of silver from Young Master Ye to Li Lao Er.

The villagers wished they had eight hands, all busy as could be.

But even though they were so tired at night that everyone fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow, snoring loudly, no one complained about being hard-working.

The elderly were too old to do heavy labor, so they carried the young children on their backs, chopped wood, boiled water, and cooked.

When the women had free time, they would take their half-grown children up the mountain to cut grass and carry down dwarf pine.

Men have to chop down trees, carry stones and timber, clear land, and stand watch at night.

Everyone was eager to finish building their new home as soon as possible.

It's not just about them finding a place to live, but also about laying the foundation for their children and grandchildren to inherit.

Thus, in one go, they were busy for five or six days. All the materials were transported into the mountain valley, and both sides of the mountain peaks were cleared.

Jia Yin jumped excitedly, finally waiting for this day. The fruit tree seedlings in the nursery were too crowded, and if they weren't moved out soon, they would probably bloom.

That night, she carefully got up, slipping past her grandmother and brothers' "protective circle," and finally reached Dongmei's side with care.

Winter Plum practiced martial arts, so she was most alert. She almost immediately woke up.

Jia Yin hurriedly leaned into her ear and said, "Aunt Mei, take me out."

Donghuang didn't hesitate, immediately pulled out a coat and wrapped Jiayin in it before going out.

The villagers at night saw her, and didn't ask much, thinking she needed to use the restroom.

In the darkness, no one saw that she now had a small child on her back.

Jiayin saw that the camp was about a hundred meters away, so she silently moved all the saplings out of the space.

Each sapling was as thick as a small rolling pin. With more than a thousand of them piled together, they formed a hillock like a small mountain, quite a sight.

Jia Yin secretly swallowed her saliva and urged Dong Mei to go back.

Dong Mei was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask.

Back at the kennel, Jiayin whispered in Meiy's ear, "Aunt Mei, Uncle Ye brought fruit trees and wants to plant them on both mountaintops. Tomorrow morning, you bring my father and the others to where we were just now and pull the saplings back."

Though Dongmei had received the master's orders, she couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that the little girl had just gone to look at the sapling, but how did she not notice

Jia Yin's little heart jumped into her throat, thankfully, Dong Mei quickly replied, "Okay."

Jia Yin let out a long sigh of relief, wrapped herself in her small quilt and fell fast asleep.

The question of how to get these fruit trees out had plagued her for days. Now that it was solved, she felt incredibly light and ready for a good long nap.

In this sleep, she truly slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.

Mrs. Cui arrived at some point and sat beside Old Mrs. Li, talking to her.

"Auntie, my brother and I bought five acres of land. In the future, whether we come to visit or stay for a while, it will be more reassuring this way. Here are 200 taels of silver. Sixty taels go back to Young Master Ye. Auntie, please speak kindly to him; this is taking away his share of the profits. The remaining 140 taels, please ask the villagers to help me build a small courtyard next to your house."

Old Li gladly accepted the silver and said with a smile, "Rest assured, Young Master Ye is not a stingy person. Besides, the village originally intended to leave five shares for you, but since you didn't come over in time and were in urgent need of money, Young Master Ye paid it all for you. I'll have my second son and the others put more effort into building your courtyard well. You should come and live here often, so we can be close."

Mrs. Cui turned her head and saw Jiayin had woken up, so she quickly hugged her, wiped her face and combed her hair, and then took her out for a walk.

Right now, people of all ages in the village are diligently carrying fruit trees up the mountain.

They were all overjoyed, and kept saying, "Young Master Ye is simply amazing! Where did he find so many fruit trees"

“Yes, I thought about it before. It would be nice if there were fruit trees planted on this mountain. Not only would they look beautiful when in bloom, but we could also pick and sell the fruits in the autumn.”

"The village head said that the fruit tree is still young, so you can still grow crops under it this year."

Yan Zheng was even more excited, dancing with glee, becoming more and more like a monkey.

“This is an apple tree, it blooms in May. By then, the hot spring resort will also be completed. Those fools from Kyoto will probably go crazy and rush to spend their money! Haha, let them laugh at me for not being serious about my business. This time, I'll show them what I'm capable of! This earthly paradise is built by me!”
