MTL - Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

   Chapter 98 98 Build a Shed

   It's past six o'clock, Uncle Wang and Brother Shuanzi may have come back.

   "Go." Liu Shi replied with a smile.

   "Well." Lin Xiaoyue went out with a bowl of Mao Xuewang and a bowl of cold pork head.

   Then she unexpectedly discovered that a small hut had been erected outside her yard. Not only Li Xiao was there, but Uncle Wang and Wang Shuanzi were also there.

  Li Xiao was the first to see Lin Xiaoyue, but just looked back at her and didn't speak.

  Wang Shuanzi is the second.

   Seeing Lin Xiaoyue holding two bowls in her hand, she asked with a smile, "What kind of delicious food did Yueyue make? The fragrance is almost drifting to the head of the village!"

   This is of course an exaggeration. But the smell did make it almost impossible for them to concentrate on their work.

   Uncle Wang also stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a smile.

   "Uncle, Brother Shuanzi, why are you here to help?!" Lin Xiaoyue walked towards several people in surprise.

   "Hehe, I got off work early today. Come back and hear from your aunt that I saw your house—cough, Li Xiao is building a shed, and our grandfather will come to help." Uncle Wang said.

   "It didn't help much, Brother Xiao was almost done when he came!" Wang Shuanzi said cheerfully.

   "Thank you!" Lin Xiaoyue quickly thanked.

   "What are you polite? Neighbors!" Uncle Wang said.

   "Girl Yue, where are you going?" He looked at the two bowls of vegetables in Lin Xiaoyue's hand.

   Then he quickly looked away and swallowed unnaturally.

   Walking in this direction, Uncle Wang actually guessed that Lin Xiaoyue was going to their house to deliver food. But I'm embarrassed to say it directly, for fear of guessing wrong.

   "Oh. I've made a lot of dishes at home, and I'm going to send some to your family." Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

   Without waiting for Uncle Wang's polite refusal, he added: "By the way, I want to ask if you and Brother Shuanzi can spare some time recently to help my family build a house in the next two days."

   "It's done! Our transport team just doesn't have much work recently, so I'll go ahead and ask for a leave in advance." Uncle Wang said immediately.

  Lin Xiaoyue's eyes brightened.

   "That's good. I'll send the dishes to my aunt first, and I'll talk to you when I get back."

   "Okay." Uncle Wang was no longer polite and responded with a smile.

   Then Lin Xiaoyue sent the dishes to Aunt Wang's house.

   Aunt Wang originally wanted to stay with Lin Xiaoyue for dinner, but Lin Xiaoyue refused.

  Because Lin Xiaoyue said she was going to discuss building a house with Uncle Wang and Shuanzi Wang, Aunt Wang did not stay.

   Back at the thatched hut, Lin Xiaoyue chatted with Uncle Wang.

  Uncle Wang is an experienced man after all. After listening to Lin Xiaoyue's house building plan and her chat with Jiang Dahe about the situation, he roughly judged that the Liu family would need a lot of manpower to build the house this time.

   "It is necessary to order bricks in advance. Tomorrow, you'd better go to town with Li Xiao and order a batch of bricks. Then, when you get in touch with the bullock cart, you will immediately arrange for the bullock cart to pull it."

   "Yeah. That's what I thought too. Uncle Jiang asked me to order 4,000 bricks first, and then add them while pulling." Lin Xiaoyue said.

   "I'm afraid your bullock cart is not enough." Uncle Wang frowned.

   "Well. Uncle Jiang arranged for two ox carts to be pulled around. My family counts one, and Grandpa Shi from Shangyang Village agreed before and is willing to come."

   Uncle Wang nodded.

   "This should work. What about manpower? Did Jiang Dahe say anything?" He asked again.

   "Said. Uncle Jiang's house building team has eight people. He asked me to find another eight people in the village to help with the chores. This way, the progress of building the house will be faster."
