When the sun slanted to the west, Yang Erlang and Yang Sanlang finished their work for the day.
For dinner, Yao Zhi kept it simple. She fried four eggs and prepared a bowl of cabbage soup for them. As for the staple, she gave them 6 flower-shaped steamed buns.
Seeing the generous meal, Yang Erlang smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Yao. I think we can finish the work tomorrow."
"Doesn't it take 8 days at least?" Yao Zhi asked in surprise.
"The weather is hot, so the mud dries faster. Also, my brother and I do it together, so the work is not that heavy."
"Then I will prepare your payment," Yao Zhi nodded.
"Okay. It's not early anymore. We will take our leave now."
Yao Zhi sent them off and locked the gate before she went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water. After she took a bath, she ate two custard buns before she went to sleep.
The next morning, Yao Zhi woke up at 3 o'clock in the morning.
