Chapter 179 Building a House
"Hey, have you heard?"

"That educated youth who was stripped naked and hung up? Of course I know, how could I not know?"

"Hehehe, you definitely don't know that on that guy's only remaining underwear, someone drew a giant turtle right in front of... pfft, the glans!"

"Hahaha, what kind of idiot could have done such a thing! Hahaha~"

"I don't know, I heard the captain was furious when he found out about it this morning!"

Such sensational gossip, tinged with a hint of eroticism, spread at an alarming rate, and even seemed poised to spread to other groups.

With less work to do in winter, many people are busy in the fields but still have time to gossip.

Through everyone's imagination, the story was expanded into five different versions, each with its own detailed and believable cause and effect. By the end, it was impossible to know which version to believe.

Aside from the onlookers who were just watching the spectacle and enjoying the show, the Dong family was undoubtedly in the best of moods.

"It really wasn't one of you who did it?"

"Oh, Dad, I'd love to, but what kind of clever, underhanded trick could I possibly come up with?"

At this point, Dong Er couldn't help but burst into laughter, tears and drool flying everywhere.

Live it!

Let's see if this bastard will still have the face to continue swindling and cheating people in the village when he wakes up!

……

Upon learning of this, Su Ning and Luo Shuangshuang exchanged glances, then looked at Fu Jiaming, who was busy giving directions to people.

"Pfft~"

Besides him, Luo Shuangshuang really couldn't think of anyone else who could come up with such a wicked idea.

However, considering that he did this to vent their anger, they didn't blame him at all; on the contrary, they felt quite refreshed.

"Let's pretend we know nothing."

"understand!"

With a gesture, Luo Shuangshuang covered her mouth and laughed heartily.

Only after Fu Jiaming spoke did she rub her sore cheeks from laughing hard, "Ning Baogai, I'm going to help!"

"Go ahead, after all, it's your future new house, you should take a good look at it!"

"Hmph, making fun of me again. I'm ignoring you for two minutes!"

She stomped her foot and gave her a reproachful look, then Luo Shuangshuang fluttered towards Fu Jiaming like a butterfly.

Considering they didn't know how many years they would stay here, Fu Rong and Ma Xiuzhen felt that since they were going to build a house, they might as well build a complete one, including the new house for their youngest son's upcoming wedding.

With the two houses next to each other and not far apart, it would be perfect for the young couple to have their own space in the future.

Unlike their eldest son, who was hastily engaged to Ren Xuan, this prospective daughter-in-law is someone they genuinely like from the bottom of their hearts and are quite satisfied with.

Naturally, one should try one's best to avoid causing others too much distress.

The people who came to help build the house were all personally selected by Su Qingshan after he had made prior arrangements. They were not only quick and efficient but also honest.

With such a substantial reward, these people would be more than willing to put in their best effort without him having to say anything more.

"Ning Ning!"

"Sir, you've arrived?"

"Come and take a look, have you brought all the stuff?"

Su Qingshan's expression was still not very good, but he tried to tone it down a bit when facing her.

As a result, the wrinkles on that old face appeared somewhat distorted due to excessive force.

After shifting her gaze away, Su Ning thought through all the sad things before suppressing the ever-growing corners of her mouth.

"Kid, just laugh if you want to. I'm not going to take pictures of you."

"Hehe, grandpa~"

Distracted by her, Su Qingshan's expression returned to normal. He raised the hand holding the pipe and habitually took a puff, satisfying his craving.

Seeing his actions, Su Ning's smile faded, and she asked in confusion, "Sir, why aren't you smoking the cigarettes I bought for you?"

Even though the homemade tobacco from the elderly in this village has a strong and pungent smell, many people are reluctant to smoke it. They only pull out a tiny bit of tobacco when they absolutely can't resist.

The cigarettes she bought had filters; she heard that those are less harmful and more comfortable to smoke without leaving a mouthful of tobacco residue.

"That precious stuff can't be squandered like this all the time. Hehehe, I'll save it for holidays and festivals."

Oh, I see. Old people are like children, just like Grandpa Fu, they all have a desire to show off.

Seeing through her intentions but not saying anything, Su Ning smiled and nodded. "By the way, Ningning, did that educated youth surnamed Zhang harass you yesterday?"

There were few people around, but not no one at all, so it was normal to be seen.

Therefore, she didn't hide anything and briefly explained what happened yesterday.

Su Qingshan's face, which had just calmed down, turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "You damned little bastard!"

Those who dare to harbor thoughts of harming the girls of the Su family, this morning's lesson was probably too lenient.

After rubbing his tobacco pipe until it was smooth and shiny, Su Qingshan immediately made a decision about what Dong Fusheng had told him the night before.

However, I won't tell her about these dirty things; I'll just turn around and give her some instructions.

“Ningning, if anything happens, go home and call for help. Your older and younger brothers aren’t just sitting around doing nothing. They’re not afraid of anyone at their own doorstep. If anyone tries to act like a hooligan again, just jump up and beat them up. I’ll take responsibility for you if anything happens!”

"Yes, I've written it down."

As for jumping up to fight?
Suning, who was both amused and exasperated, thought: "At her age, she probably still has the potential to grow another two centimeters taller, right?"
Seeing that everyone was working hard, they had already started digging the foundation.

There was too much dust and sand kicked up, so Su Qingshan led her a little further away.

"Yesterday I went to a meeting in the county and received a notice from above saying that people will come to the village to install power lines when the farming off-season begins. Is that it?"

"I had someone submit an application."

"I knew this had something to do with you."

Otherwise, with all the waiting in line, who knows when it will be their turn to be in the first team of the Red Flag Commune?
A string lamp is great; that electric light is so much better than a kerosene lamp that stings your eyes.

Of all the households in the village, there are probably very few that are willing to install power lines and pay the electricity bill.

"I also applied for a phone number at the same time."

Seeing her wink mischievously, Su Qingshan immediately understood what she meant and laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, I'll definitely get a share of this!"

Having a telephone makes things much more convenient in the village, and it's the only one of its kind among all the production brigades!
The next time he faced those big shots at the meeting, he couldn't help but straighten his back; even with a tail, he could still stand tall.

He arrived with a grim expression but left beaming. Seeing this, the workers couldn't help but wonder if the team leader had found some money.
Otherwise, why would you be so happy that you feel like you could kick your feet out of thin air?
"Ning Baogai!"

"coming."

Turning her gaze away from Su Qingshan's departing figure, Su Ning heard her call, turned around, and quickly walked over. "What's wrong?"

"Can you take a look and see if there's anything wrong with this?"

Luo Shuangshuang took her hand and led her around the spot she and Fu Jiaming had chosen.

The Su family's ancestral home is on the left, so the Fu family naturally prioritized choosing a site that was close to it.

However, because the right side was a steep slope and not very flat, we opted for the right rear instead.

It was not only right next to her backyard, but also closer to the foot of the mountain behind her house.

According to their previous plan, the layout should be the Su family's house, Luo Shuangshuang's new house, and then the Fu family's house, arranged diagonally in a row.

“I always felt that if the door were to be placed here as Jiaming suggested, something would feel off. But here, people always insist on placing the door in this direction, saying that other directions are not good.”

Touching his chin, Su Ning thought about it carefully and compared it in his mind, and found that it was indeed that feeling.

"How about we move it a little to this side, back a bit, and make it here?"

"Yeah, I think so!"

Fu Jiaming appeared behind the two of them without them even realizing it. After hearing Su Ning's suggestion, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Have the bricks and tiles been transported and unloaded over there?"

"After getting off the bus, we just wait for the water hyacinths to be hauled into the village one trip after another."

……

Over the next few days, the houses were built up little by little at a visible speed, and the villagers finally finished their work in the fields and began to enjoy the off-season.

After several treatments, Fu Rong's prescriptions and acupuncture showed remarkable results, leaving both Ge and Liu in awe.

It is said that the red Ganoderma lucidum picked in Baoshan this time may have had a miraculous effect due to the special geographical environment and the abundance of natural resources.

She still hadn't been able to successfully develop the ointment to heal Fu Jiadan's bones and muscles. Knowing that she needed to accumulate experience to break through her limitations, she could only patiently calm down and focus.

Just as Su Qingshan had predicted, the village had installed power lines, but in reality, less than five or six households actually used the electricity at home.

As the lights of the Su family ancestral home came on that day, the telephone in the village committee office rang with a clear ring.

"Hello? Comrade, is this Team One of Hongqi Commune? Please find Su Ning and tell him there's been an incident in Beijing. Please call back immediately, thank you!"
