Xie Meng ran out of the house. She was not afraid of anything else except her mother's nagging.
Mou Lin was at home, but his footing was dug out nearly five meters. Don't underestimate this short distance of five meters, but the amount of soil dug out was quite a lot. It was almost one square meter or two square meters of soil.
He pushed the shorter stones, which were only about one meter long, into the footing, stacked them neatly, and placed them flat. The surrounding gaps were tightly plugged with the small stones that had been knocked down. If there were any uneven places, they were also used to cushion them. He did what he had to do. One principle was that it had to be flat.
"Hehe, today, I only made a five-meter footing. This lap will only be a few hundred meters. At this rate, our courtyard will be completed in two years at most.”
"Mou Lin, Mou Lin, where is he?”
Mou Lin stood up from his feet." Haha, sisters, it's not dark yet. Why are you here?" Have you had dinner? If you've eaten, then the two of you can help catch the chicks in the vegetable field and put them into the big cardboard box. Then, I'll carry them into the house and catch the two puppies. I'll be busy for a while before coming back.”
Xie Meng was overjoyed to see those fluffy yellow chicks. When she saw the two chubby puppies, she was so happy that her eyes narrowed. "Kekeke, Little Chick, come over quickly. Let's go home.”
The two puppies tilted their heads and looked at Tian Xiaoli and Xie Meng. They were very puzzled. Didn't their master tell them that there were two female masters at home? What was going on? "Woof, woof, woof."
"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei, don't shout. From now on, you have to listen to your two sisters, understand? I'm not free now. Go to the vegetable field and chase those chicks over. Be careful. Don't scare them, okay?”
Seeing Mou Lin pointing at the chicks, the two puppies understood what was going on. They wagged their tails and ran to the chicks.
"Wow, Brother Mou Lin, these two puppies are so cute. They can actually understand you.”
Tian Xiaoli looked at Xie Meng with disdain." I saw that the way they looked at you wasn't right. They were quite confused. They might have thought you were a bad guy."”
Xie Meng didn't even raise her head." You're the one with bad intentions. This is the first time they've seen me, so of course they're suspicious. However, this kind of dog was a really good dog. It would definitely be able to protect the house in the future. Eh, that's not right. Xiao Li, didn't you buy any chicks today?”
"No, it's all your fault. In the morning, I talked to Mou Lin endlessly. When we got back, it was almost noon. We went to the farmer's market and saw that there were no chicken vendors.”
The chicks were chased by the two puppies to Xie Meng's side. Xie Meng gently picked up the chicks and put them into the cardboard box. "Let's go, Little White, Little Black, go back to your room with big sister.”
What happened next shocked Xie Meng and Tian Xiaoli. The two puppies ran to Mou Lin's side and lay there motionlessly, as if they wouldn't go home if Mou Lin didn't.
Tian Xiao Li burst into laughter." Mengmeng, did you see that? Their master is Mou Lin's younger brother. They won't listen to you. Good job, Little White, Little Black. Come, come, come to me. Remember, my name is Tian Xiao Li. I'm your Sister Xiao Li. You must listen to me from now on.”
The two puppies looked at Tian Xiaoli and didn't move at all. Xie Meng was happy." Xiao Li, what do you think? You said that Little White and Little Black's master is our Little Brother Mou Lin. They won't listen to you."”
Mou Lin couldn't continue with his work, so he had to stand up and pack up the tools. He carried the tools on his shoulders and held the tools in his hands. Xie Meng carried the cardboard box with both hands, but she couldn't help. Tian Xiaoli quickly walked forward and took the remaining tools. The three of them walked home. The two puppies followed Mou Lin closely, as if they were afraid of falling out of line.
They walked back to the house. Xie Meng put the cardboard box on the ground, and Tian Xiaoli quickly put the tools in her hand into the tool room. The three of them walked out of the house together. There were still the pots, pans, wires, lights, and other things that Tian Xiaoli and Xie Meng had bought.
Seeing Mou Lin leave the house, the two puppies immediately barked. Mou Lin turned around." You two, don't shout. Just stay in the room. We'll go get those things."”
The two puppies immediately stopped barking, and the three of them went out to move the pile of things back home.
Mou Lin took out a pair of pliers and a screw driver from the back room and connected the lamp and the wire. Tian Xiaoli and Xie Meng rushed to the kitchen to cook.
"Brother Mou Lin, what's for dinner?”
"There's still chicken soup in the pot. He tore off the breast meat from the chicken in the pot and made it into thin threads. Little Black and Little White had worked quite hard today. He had to feed them.”
"Oh, I know. Xiao Li, start the fire. I'll go to the vegetable field to get some onions.”
"Okay, then you have to hurry up. If there are no onions now, I feel that the dishes won't be fragrant. I only ate a few mouthfuls at home at night. I'm hungry now.”
"Hehe, don't say anymore. I'm the same. After eating two mouthfuls, she quickly drove to your house when Dad and Mom weren't paying attention.”
Mou Lin didn't have time to care about Tian Xiaoli and Xie Meng. Tian Xiao Li tried to light a fire in the kitchen for a long time, but she couldn't. Tears were coming out of her eyes because of the smoke, and her face was covered in black ashes. He wanted to ask Mou Lin for help, but when he ran out, he saw Mou Lin installing the electric light. He didn't want to bother him, so he had to go back to the kitchen.
Mou Lin connected the electric lamp and put it aside. He took out a sledgehammer and four bowl-thick wooden sticks that he had prepared in the morning and walked to the field.
He came to the middle of the field and placed the four wooden sticks in the gap between the rice. He took one of them and first used all his strength to push it down. After it was stable, he used the sledgehammer to hammer it until it could not move. At this moment, the wooden stick was only about one meter away from the water surface. The bottom part of the stick must have reached dozens of centimeters into the soil.
"Hehe, it should be stable now. Even if a strong wind blows, don't think about blowing this pillar down.”
Then, he picked up a wooden stick and slammed it into another place. Then, he used the sledgehammer to hit it hard. The four wooden sticks were knocked to the same height.
He ran back home and brought back four wooden blocks. These wooden blocks were sawed by Mou Lin's father when he had nothing to do at home. He wanted to make them into shelves for rearing silkworms, but he was delayed by something and couldn't make them. Now it was convenient for Mou Lin.
He nailed the four wooden blocks to the four wooden pillars, then put the iron sheet that Tian Xiaoli and Xie Meng had bought on the four pillars. A fairly simple mosquito-trapping light booth was completed.
He pulled out the installed lamp from the house and installed it in the middle of the small pavilion. This way, no matter how heavy the rain was, the lamp hanging below would not be drenched.
