In the Northeast Zhang Family Village, two new courtyards rose at the foot of the North Mountain. The construction site was bustling with people coming and going, all busily working in an orderly manner. The nearby Zhang Family's old courtyard was silent.
Now, except for the bricklayer and his apprentices who hadn't arrived, the rest were helping to tidy and organize the ground. Yesterday, the bricklayer was busy until dark, finally completing the work before the temperature dropped. Delighted, Mr. Zhang added a big red envelope when settling the bill. In a couple of days, with the doors and windows installed, there would be no fear of the ground freezing, and slowly heating the kang, the last thing he did for the children, would be complete.
Early this morning, Mr. Zhang took his three sons to clean up the new courtyards. At this time, Guoqiang's carpenter master, Zhang the Second, and his team were installing the gates and windows of the two courtyards.
