Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 37 The Admirer

"Build your own bricks!"

Jiang Decai gestured.

The bricks he refers to are, of course, adobe bricks.

“We make the adobe bricks ourselves?”

Jiang Defu has never done this before. Apart from playing in the mud when he was a child, he has never done anything like this.

Making adobe yourself?
Jiang Defu didn't know yet that Jiang Decai had this skill.

In fact, he has never lived in this era and does not fully understand the life here.

These days, let alone building adobe, the whole family is the main force when it comes to building a house.

Although the village will help each other, especially those with good relationships, the labor of other people is also labor, and it is not just about paying wages, but also taking care of meals or delivering some things.

Especially in these years, life has been difficult, and there is not enough food for one's own family. Few people have the energy to build a house. Even if they build a house, their own family members do it, just to save food.

Farm children, especially boys, learn these crafts when they reach a certain age.

"When you didn't serve as a soldier, my second uncle taught us how to do it!" "

Jiang Decai gestured.

It turns out that the original Jiang Defu also knew how to make bricks.

"Uh, I...I don't remember!"

Jiang Defu hesitated and said.

"Third brother can't remember what happened before, so naturally he doesn't know."

Jiang Dehua said from the side.

Jiang Defu was now a little happy that he was considered to have lost his memory, otherwise he would really not know many things.

He had read some time-travel stories before, and the protagonist had the memory of the original owner when he traveled through time.

That's a good thing for him. He doesn't know anything about the original owner. It's no wonder that he turned dark after arriving in this world.

Jiang Decai didn't think about building a house in the early years because there were only a few people in his family, his brother had never been found, and his life was not very promising.

Now that this younger brother is back, I don't know why, but I always feel that life is brand new and promising.

Especially my sister's matter, I used to have a big headache, and I didn't even dare to want my sister to come back. There are very few such things in rural areas.

When Jiang Defu first discussed it with him, he felt that this matter would be difficult to handle. Later, he agreed because he felt sorry for his sister, but he was actually worried about his sister's life after she came back.

But I don’t know what’s wrong with my younger brother, but he always brings the whole family with a sense of upward motivation.

The return of Dehua seemed to make the family more energetic. As soon as the third brother mentioned building a house, he immediately agreed.

Jiang Decai is a neat person at work, and he does what he says!
Jiang Defu thought simply at first. He was tired of living in reinforced concrete rooms in his previous life, but now the adobe house feels like a rustic countryside.

It was only when I really started to do it that I realized that building a house is really a big project, even if it is a simple adobe house in this era.

Just taking off the adobe is a messy job.

First, select good loess, pile it into a big pile, dig it out in the middle, and pour it up and down with water.

This is a technical job, and only those with experience in removing adobe will know how much water is needed. If there is too much water, it will become thin mud and cannot be turned into adobe;
If the water is too dry, it will break easily, so it is important to master this degree.

The humidity is suitable, and the wet and dry mixture should be mixed evenly. In order to make the adobe bricks stronger, some wheat straw should be added when mixing the mud, but the wheat straw added is very dry. If you want to mix it evenly, you must stand inside and step on it evenly.

Fortunately, it is summer now, the weather is hot, and it is very comfortable to step on the cement.

After Jiang Dehua came back from cutting some mugwort seeds, she also came over to help, while Zhang Guilan went to cook.

When they were almost done, they picked up the grappling hook and turned over, stirring evenly.

"Brother Defu, are you trying to make adobe?"

A burst of clear laughter from women sounded from the hillside not far away, followed by a delicate female voice.

Jiang Defu thought the voice was familiar. He looked up and saw Liu Chunhua's charming and smiling face not far away. There were two girls standing beside her, holding a basket in their hands. They had obviously just returned from working in the fields. .

Rural girls, especially those who are not yet married, like to get together.

For example, when we go to the fields to cut grass, we go together. "Uh, yes!"

Jiang Defu doesn't know why this girl always likes to say hello to him recently. He must know that in the past, girls in the village rarely said hello to people of similar age to him.

"What are you doing? Going to the river to weed the pigs?"

When Jiang Dehua saw those women, she laughed loudly and greeted them.

"Sister Dehua!"

Liu Chunhua shouted enthusiastically, but the other two women didn't say much.

"Brother Defu, what are you doing with adobe this year?"

Although they are under a tree with mud, it is much cooler than before, but because of the hot weather in summer and the recent work, Jiang Defu's skin has turned out to be a wheat color.

He was shirtless, with a white towel draped over his shoulders. Sweat dripped down his dark and strong muscles. The scene was really eye-catching.

Just being stared at blankly by a little rural girl made Jiang Defu feel a little weird.

Aren’t these little rural girls shy?

why...

Although he could not be called a prodigal son in his previous life, he still picked flowers among the flowers, but now he felt a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that the change in identity and age has an impact?

But thinking about the women in the previous life who behaved deliberately and acted in order to respond to him, they were all quite subtle. But this Liu Chunhua is indeed an original peasant girl, very straightforward.

"Uh... I plan to build a few houses..."

Jiang Defu paused and said.

"Ouch! You're going to build a new house!"

Liu Chunhua said happily, with a tone and expression as if her family was about to build a new house.

She... why is she so happy?

"Chunhua, let's go back, it's almost time for lunch..."

A girl with a black ponytail pulled at Liu Chunhua who wanted to continue chatting.

"Forehead……"

Only then did Liu Chunhua feel that he had been delayed here for too long, and he responded unhappily.

……

"Chunhua, why are you so enthusiastic with Mute and his family?"

Sanniu, the girl with the ponytail, asked in confusion.

She is the daughter of Liu Chunhua's uncle's family.

Because Jiang Decai could not speak, people in the village used to call his family the mute family.

Rural areas, especially in this era, have always been straightforward and there is no respect for people with disabilities.

"Their family is very good. The Li family was so arrogant in the village before, but Brother Defu was so powerful that he directly dealt with them. How honest they are now. Let me tell you, Brother Defu is just to get rid of harm to our Shi'ao Village. You guys will Don't call someone a dumb person, it's so bad!"

Liu Chunhua pouted and said.

"But...but the Li family didn't bully us, they were pretty good to our family...and...and didn't you call their family the mute family before?"

Sanniu said with some dissatisfaction.

"Before was before, and now is now! From now on, we can't call the mute family, just call it the rich brother's family!"

Chunhua said directly.

Her father is the village chief, and there are three brothers in the family. She is the only girl. She is relatively pampered in the countryside. The family dotes on her, which develops her stronger and outspoken character.

"Sister Chunhua, don't you like Jiang Defu?"

Another younger girl, Shui Lan, looked at Liu Chunhua and asked.
