Chapter 295: Transporting Cement, Buying a Human-powered Cart

The village chief looked at Xia Yanxin with a smile: "It's been a while since we last met. Your mouth is as sweet as honey. People who go out often are different."

Xia Yanxin was teased by the village chief, but felt a little embarrassed: "Third Grandpa, I am not praising you for being thoughtful and meticulous in doing things. This makes me worry less."

Xia Yanxin paused and said, "Third Grandpa, if that's the case, then let's notify the villagers and start building houses."

"Find some more people to come with me to fetch cement. After the cement is brought back, we will put it together and those who need it can go and fetch it. They only need to tell me how big the house they want to build is, and I can calculate how much cement they need. This way, we can avoid waste."

The village chief thought Xia Yanxin's arrangement was a good one: "Xin girl, let's do as you said. We will split into two groups. One group will follow you, and the other group will follow me to clean up the situation in the village."

Xia Yanxin nodded happily: "Okay, Third Grandpa, we will meet at the village entrance in an hour, what do you think?"

"That would be great, but Xin girl, there are so many houses in the village that need to be rebuilt, and there won't be enough manpower. How can we solve this problem?"

Ye Wenshan sat aside and said, "Village Chief, Xin girl, I have a few suggestions, how about you listen to them?"

When the village chief saw his relative speaking, he sat up straight and said, "Relative, go ahead and say whatever you want to say."

"I think that several families in the village who need to build houses can take turns to help, so that no one has any objections. Or they can collectively hire people to build houses, and each family can share the cost according to the size of the house."

The village chief thought about it and felt that Ye Wenshan’s idea was good, but he still preferred the first one. Farmers don’t care if you save money, and they are generally strong, so they will definitely be happy.

Xia Yanxin also thought that this was the most reasonable way to do it: "Grandfather, what you said makes a lot of sense, so let's arrange it this way. As for the school and the workshop, I'll start a little later, so I can develop other industries first."

"What? You have other businesses? How are you so capable? You are a girl but you are much more capable than boys."

Xia Yanxin scratched her hair: "I just can't sit still."

The village chief felt that he had said enough, so he stood up and said, "Okay, Third Grandpa will go and arrange the people first, and you should do the same."

When Xia Yanxin was about to go to the village entrance, Ye Wenshan came out and said to Xia Yanxin, "Xin'er, wait a moment, grandpa will go with you."

"Grandpa, it would be great if you just stayed at home."

"Grandfather can't sit still, so you should let him go with you. If there is such a thing in the future, you can let him do it."

Xia Yan thought about it and felt that it would be good for his grandfather to follow him: "Grandfather, let's go together."

"Xin'er, wait a moment, I'll go pull the ox cart out." Ye Wenshan reminded.

When the grandfather and grandson arrived at the village entrance together, the people arranged by the village chief arrived one after another, and Xia Jinshui was among them.

When he saw Xia Yanxin coming, his heart couldn't help beating rapidly, and his eyes were staring at Xia Yanxin without blinking, until Xia Yanxin came closer, then he withdrew his gaze with difficulty.

Xia Yanxin had no idea what Xia Jinshui was thinking. Now all she cared about was making money, because only with money would she have more options in life.

"Brother Jinshui, are you going with us too?" Xia Yanxin asked directly when he saw Xia Jinshui.

Xia Jinshui said happily: "Yes, the village chief asked me to go with you, sister Yanxin, we are all here, can we set off?"

Xia Yanxin glanced at the people around him and found that most of them came here pushing wheelbarrows. He nodded and said, "Since everyone is here, let's go."

When the men heard what Xia Yanxin said, they pushed their wheelbarrows forward. Xia Yanxin walked at the back with her eyes flashing. She felt that she should improve the farm tools.

Ye Wenshan saw Xia Yanxin staring at the unicycle in a daze and asked, "Xin'er, what are you thinking about?"

"Grandfather, I'm wondering how to make these wheelbarrows faster and easier to push?"

Ye Wenshan touched Xia Yanxin's head and said, "Leave this matter to your grandfather. I, your grandfather, am the most suitable person to do these things."

"Yes, my grandfather is a very clever person. Improving the wheelbarrow is a piece of cake for him."

The group chatted and laughed and soon arrived at Xia Yanxin's warehouse: "Everyone go in and carry these things out. This cement is a bit heavy."

Ye Wenshan looked at the piled-up scene in front of him and said in surprise: "Xin'er, how much of this cement did you buy?"

Xia Yanxin said proudly: "Grandfather, this is just the beginning. We still have sand, but we have to transport the cement first before we can transport the sand."

Ye Wenshan stopped the oxcart and started to move cement: "Xin'er, it's dusty here, go stand to the side."

Xia Yan counted the number of people in his heart and took out the corresponding number of masks from the space: "Everyone, put on these masks first, otherwise your throat will be uncomfortable because there is too much dust."

Xia Jinshui and a few others stopped and saw Xia Yanxin put on her mask. Then they put on their masks themselves and started moving again.

When everyone's wheelbarrows were almost loaded, the next group of people transported the cement to Shanghe Village. When they arrived at the village, they placed the cement in designated places. These places were all dry places and the cement would not be affected by moisture.

After Xia Jinshui and his companions stacked the cement, they went to the warehouse again. This time, Xia Yanxin did not go with them. Instead, she gave the key to Ye Wenshan and asked Ye Wenshan to take them with him.

"Grandfather, we can't finish all the transportation in one day. We can do it tomorrow. Don't tire yourself out." Xia Yanxin instructed Ye Wenshan.

"Grandfather knows what's going on, don't worry, okay, I should go now."

Ye Wenshan left without looking back after saying this. She actually wanted to hire a few ox carts to come over, which would be faster and save labor, but she thought that too much is as bad as too little, so she had to suppress this idea.

After Xia Yanxin returned to her room, she entered the space and said to 666, "666, is there a cart with two wheels in the mall?"

666 showed Xia Yanxin the page of the rickshaw: "Master, this is the rickshaw, you can choose it yourself."

Xia Yanxin looked at the various types of rickshaws on the page, and finally selected one of them and placed an order directly. Xia Yanxin bought ten at once.
