Meanwhile, considering the expansion of Li Village and the dozen or so outside households extending along the back of the village near Qin Shu's residence, more than a hundred sets were built, and two hundred people were also allocated to reinforce the walls. The base was not only widened, but reinforcement pillars were added internally every few yards.
This large-scale project truly highlighted the commendable foresight of my daughter, who prepared a vast amount of bricks and stones for the village. Of course, it's not impossible to use freshly made adobe bricks, but this requires a lot of time and manpower, and the effort involved is naturally more significant. Most importantly, in terms of safety, bricks and stones offer more reassurance.
On the day my grandson turned one month old, the site of Hua Village was orderly, with houses erected, and the walls had largely been repaired.
