After tidying up the front yard, they headed to the back. Two craftsmen were using cement for pointing; truly a lavish undertaking, but the work was about to be completed.
Lu Yichen had already finished cleaning up the remaining bricks in the yard. He had laid a small path from the front yard to the latrine entrance; now there wouldn't be any mud to deal with when it rained.
Once everything was cleaned up and they had settled the labor fees, only then did he ask the craftsmen to take away the rubble from the yard along with them. As for the soil, Luo Qiao didn't have it removed.
One reason was that the cart wouldn't be able to take away so much material; the other was that the latrine's foundation was quite high, and the soil could be used later to thicken the layer in the vegetable garden.
The pair hurried to lock up and rush to the bus station.
