When Gu Xiaoqing returned home after school in the afternoon, there wasn't much left of their yard. The debris had been cleaned up completely, and since it was a major project, many men from the village were out doing some labor to earn pocket money since farming work is not busy in early spring.
At this time, the team was organized well, and the work progress was fast. Within a day's efforts, the yard of Gu Ruhai's house had been dug up, with the old earth walls pushed down and carted off to the hillside at the end of the village, where debris from many homes has accumulated, forming a makeshift garbage dump, but without household waste.
The original yard now has foundations dug half a meter deep.
But the depth wasn't sufficient yet, so the workers were still there digging.
Back then, foundations were dug manually, without any machinery like excavators, relying completely on human resources.
However, the quality was guaranteed to be solid.
