Chapter 113 Bridge Building
Chapter 113 Bridge Building
Mu Chaoge was struggling with the issue of building a bridge. There were several streams on the road, but changing the route would be troublesome and would also make the journey longer.
"Forget it! Let's just build the bridge. We won't have enough money later on. Let's repair the road here first."
When Liang Yong heard this, he said he understood, and the villagers nearby also said it was a good idea.
This noble lady wants to build a road, which is a great thing, so everyone really responded and a lot of people came.
Someone shouted, "Chaoge!"
Mu Chaoge turned around and saw that it was Lu Xingzhou and Feng. "Uncle and aunt? Why are you here? It's too dusty here. Let's go back and talk!"
She asked Liang Yong to watch over here, and Liang Yong immediately agreed and said it was no problem.
Mu Chaoge ran towards Lu Xingzhou and Feng, "Let's go, it's dusty here, and my aunt is still pregnant, how can she come here to find me? Just send someone to tell me, don't choke you."
When Feng saw her, she hugged her and said, "Look at you, you've made yourself look so dusty, and you're still blaming us. Can't you ask the servants to come and do it for you? Staying in a construction site like this is all dusty."
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped Mu Chaoge's face without saying a word.
Lu Xingzhou leaned forward to take a look, "Wow, this is a coal egg."
Mu Chaoge snorted, "Aunt, please take care of my uncle."
So annoying.
Feng couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, why did you think of building a road now?"
Mu Chaoge hugged Feng's neighbor and said, "There's nothing we can do. If the road is not repaired, the goods can't be transported out, and the bumps on the road will also affect the products. If we repair the road better, it will be easier to sell our farm's products in the future."
Besides, it's convenient to go out by yourself, right? You don't have to take a horse-drawn carriage and get so bumpy.
Also, the water gets muddy when it rains, which is really annoying if you need to go out urgently.
Before the rainy season arrives, we should quickly repair the road. It will not only benefit our family but also others in the future. "Besides, it doesn't cost as much as I thought."
Mu Chaoge counted on his fingers for Feng and Lu Xingzhou, "Look, once the news got out, everyone was very enthusiastic and came to help. Some even volunteered to carry soil and stones."
"I saved a lot of money on materials, and the villagers who came to help didn't ask for wages, just two meals, because they also brought soil and stones. I used the money left over to supplement the meal expenses."
So everyone has two meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, and the dry food is enough for everyone to eat as much as they want.
When Feng heard this, she exchanged glances with Lu Xingzhou. Is this niece really serious about her work? Look at how she is calculating, she is even better than an adult.
Lu Xingzhou cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, my uncle and aunt came to find you just because they heard about this. We have collected some money for you. How can we let money hold us back if our child wants to do something big?"
He said that so many uncles and aunts brought eight thousand taels of silver, so she could make whatever she wanted.
Mu Chaoge was shocked when he heard this, "Is this true? Are you going to give me all eight thousand taels of silver?"
She only paid two thousand taels herself, and with the addition of eight thousand taels, she could save some money to repair or extend the house! !
It's not some grandiose project, it's just a small mountain path, wide enough for a carriage to pass through, with some room for a U-turn in some places.
Mu Chaoge quickly hugged Feng, then hugged Lu Xingzhou, jumping up and down with joy, "Ah, when I erect a monument, I will definitely make the names of my uncle and aunt the largest ones!"
Lu Xingzhou and Feng were both amused. It seemed that this girl was trying to trick people with this.
"Is this how you get the villagers to do things for you? You have a very thoughtful little brain."
"Chaoge is indeed a clever guy."
Don't even say it.
Lu Xingzhou and Feng were very excited to hear this. They wanted to have their names on this stone tablet. As long as this road existed, the stone tablet would still be there.
Then there will be countless future generations who will remember them.
"But you don't need to carve our name as the biggest one. Just remember to add your own name."
Mu Chaoge laughed awkwardly, "I want all of them, and I want those from other uncles and aunts too. I'll remember who contributed!"
She said she couldn't go wrong.
Lu Xingzhou then asked her a few more questions with concern, "Do you know how to build a road?"
Mu Chaoge nodded, "I read some books, asked others, and thought about it myself. Let's go back and I'll show you the blueprints!"
Feng saw her jumping and dancing, sweating all over, her face flushed, "Go back and have some tea, it's time to get back. Look how tired you are."
Mu Chaoge smiled and said, "Not tired!"
Lu Xingzhou and Feng walked to the gate of the farm. The gate was indeed very shabby. They complained every time they saw it. Also, Mu Chaoge's scumbag father was too stingy.
After all, it was the farm closest to him, so there was no shortage of people to repair it.
Mu Chaoge wants to keep a low profile when taking over now, and although the gate is dilapidated, Uncle Cai said that they participated in the previous repair, and the stones used were the best. It looks dilapidated but very solid.
It can be said that the strongest parts of the farm are the walls and the gate.
As soon as Lu Xingzhou and Feng entered the room, they saw several children writing. When they saw Mu Chaoge, they all shouted sweetly, "Hello, Miss!"
Mu Chaoge told Ah Hua and the others not to pour tea, "My uncle and aunt are here. I'll take them to my yard. You can write yours."
Ah Hua and the others obediently called for help, and then went back to practice calligraphy seriously.
Feng couldn't help but smile at the cute appearance of the children and said, "These children are really sensible."
They are well taken care of and look very healthy. Their skin is definitely not as fair and tender as those of children from rich families, but they look lively and cute, and their clothes are clean and tidy.
Mu Chaoge couldn't help but proudly said: "That's right, you can say that I helped raise these kids!"
She found ways to make money to support the family, and her parents worked hard to support them.
Send children to school, buy clothes for them, teach them morals, buy them toys and so on.
Ah Hua and her friends are becoming more and more knowledgeable, well-mannered, lively and lovely.
Mu Chaoge felt a great sense of accomplishment, and her little appearance made Lu Xingzhou and Feng laugh.
"You are still a child yourself, and you have no shame for raising this child."
"Hahaha."
Lu Xingzhou was laughing non-stop, "What? You're not taking us to your shabby yard this time?"
Mu Chaoge glared at his uncle when he heard it. "What broken yard? That's my little nest. But the new yard is ready. Let's go directly to the new yard. I moved there recently. This old yard has become my workshop. When I have something to do, I will come here to think about it."
However, in order to reassure her uncle and aunt, she still took them to take a look at the new yard.
