Chapter 17 It's time to repair the house
86_86881The house could not be repaired for the time being, but life still had to go on, so the next morning, Lin Yu resumed his daily work.
Although the depression in her heart has not been unraveled, she has already figured it out, instead of dwelling on the past, it is better to live the present, since God has reborn her, she should let herself transform from her body to her heart, and plan for their three sisters and brothers to live this life in peace.
Ever since she spotted pheasants and hares while practicing archery on a low hill, she dug a few traps in the bushes for small animals, and although she could not catch large prey, she could often catch some hares. So she used to catch a pheasant during archery practice and then check the trap.
Of the prey she took to town for money, only the pheasants she had shot, and a third of the hares had been caught in traps.
So, her daily routine is to go to the river to check the fish feeds, then go up the mountain, and check the traps after practicing arrows.
I don't know if it's because she went up the mountain too often, but today's luck was not good, not only did she not catch a pheasant, but she didn't even catch a rabbit in the trap.
Although she was a little disappointed, she also knew that she went up the mountain every day, whether it was shooting or practicing archery, the movement was relatively large, and the prey might have learned to be smart, and it was normal to not be able to catch it.
She picked some wild vegetables with different flavors halfway up the mountain, and then slowly descended the mountain.
As soon as she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she saw two more children in front of her house, and she was happy in her heart, it was an apricot and a bolt baby.
She quickened her pace happily, ready to run back. The apricots over there also saw her, and shouted as they ran towards her: "Sister Xiaoyu, Sister Xiaoyu......"
“…… Apricot...... What's the matter? Lin Yu looked at her like that, and guessed that she should have something to say to herself, so he also responded loudly.
“…… Sister Xiaoyu...... My dad asked me to call you to my house......" Apricot said as she ran to Lin Yu in three or two steps, panting.
"Oh, well, I'll go when I put the bow and arrows and wild vegetables away," Lin Yu smiled and raised the wild vegetables in her hand, now she didn't eat wild vegetables to fill her stomach, so she only picked some vegetables for cold salad.
Apricot pulled the bow off the forest fish's shoulder, put it on her back, and asked as she walked back,
"Sister Xiaoyu, you went to our house yesterday to find my father, right? He said you must be doing it for your house, aren't you? ”
"Well, I wanted to ask your father to help me find some people for the sake of the house, but I didn't know what happened to your family," Lin Yu nodded and asked, "How is it?" Are your dad and your okay? ”
"Hey! After you left yesterday, I went to my grandmother's house with the bolt baby, and I heard my grandmother crying with my dad in her arms, saying that she and my father were embarrassed to quit because they were embarrassed to quit at the beginning, and now they hurt my father, and I and the bolt baby didn't dare to step forward and interject," Apricot sighed, remembering yesterday's incident and feeling a little sad, and replied in a low voice, and then said:
"They were in the house all day, and I was so hungry that we had to get something to eat and send it to them, and this morning I went to my milk house and found that they hadn't eaten a bite."
"What about today?" Lin Yu was also a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and asked.
"My dad doesn't look like anything, he's still working like usual today, but he doesn't look very good, my milk is too, she's been lying on the bed all the time, I asked her, and she didn't reply to me," Apricot kicked the pebble at her feet, suddenly raised her head and stared at Lin Yu and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, why don't you go and see my milk later, help me persuade her, okay?" I beg you......"
"What do you want me to do? You don't say it and think I'm not going to go? If you see you like that again, I'll ignore you! ”
Lin Yu listened to Apricot's words, and her heart was already uncomfortable, and she felt uncomfortable when she heard this again, what did she ask for, she hadn't repaid their kindness to her.
When she finished speaking, she pretended to be angry and walked forward quickly, leaving Apricot behind.
“…… Eh...... Sister Xiaoyu, don't be angry, it's me who is wrong, okay............" Seeing that Lin Yu had left herself, Apricot hurriedly chased after her, pulling Lin Yu's clothes and saying coquettishly.
"It's me who said the wrong thing, I promise, I won't talk like this again, okay?"
"Well, that's what you said, don't say anything like that again!" Lin Yu didn't really care about her, so he slowed down and replied.
"Don't worry, I won't talk about it in the future......"
…………
As the two talked, they went home, put their things down, told the baby to take care of their home, and then went to Apricot House.
In the yard, Uncle Zhu was chopping wood, and Lin Yu walked over and shouted, "Uncle Zhuzi." ”
Apricot is also called: "Daddy......"
Uncle Zhu chopped down the axe raised in his hand, and then replied in a dumb voice: "Eh, the fish are coming......"
Uncle Zhu looked tired, as if he hadn't slept all night last night, he put the axe on his chest with both hands, and asked Lin Yu: "Yu'er, you came to ask Uncle Zhu Zi to help you find someone yesterday, right?" ”
Lin Yu nodded: Well, Uncle Zhuzi, I made up all the money you made to sell fish for me, and now it's almost enough......"
"Huh...... You kid, you're still lying to me! Scraping together enough money so quickly, did you learn to hunt? I heard what Apricot said......" Uncle Zhu laughed in a dumb voice, nodded Apricot with his head, Lin Yu tilted his eyebrows and turned his face to look at Apricot, Apricot shrank his head and stuck out his tongue at her.
She was embarrassed, so she had to laugh and say:
"Huh...... Uncle Zhuzi, am I not afraid that you don't want me to go...... I just thought about learning it myself...... Rabbits, pheasants and ...... around."
"If you really want to hunt, don't go alone, it's dangerous to be alone, you follow me next time I go, and teach ......you by the way," Uncle Zhu said to Lin Yu.
"Really? Uncle Pillar! Lin Yu was stunned by the sudden good luck and asked in surprise.
Before Uncle Zhu could speak, Apricot Ziliu hurriedly said, "My father never lies!" Sister Xiaoyu, don't worry! ”
As he spoke, he jumped to Uncle Zhuzi and hugged his arm, and said to Lin Yu: "You don't know, you went to learn to hunt by yourself, I was worried about you, so I told my father ......."
After finishing speaking, he leaned his face on his arm, with an innocent face, Uncle Zhu smiled and patted her head with his other hand, and said, "You girl......"
Then he said to Lin Yu: "Apricot is right, it's too dangerous for you to learn to hunt by yourself, if you really want to learn, come to me, but you have to have a number in your heart, this learning to hunt is very hard......"
"Well, Uncle Zhuzi, don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just afraid of no money and no food!" Lin Yu nodded and assured Uncle Zhuzi.
"Well, that's good," Uncle Zhu nodded, and said: "And your house, I originally thought that I would help you flip it when it was empty, but then I thought about it, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult to get it alone." The main reason is that the house is too dilapidated, not only to flip the cover, but also to make some wood reinforcement, and it may take two or three people to get it............"
"Uncle Zhuzi, I don't understand this, you see how many people you need, just help me find a few! I'll bring you the money when I get back later......" Lin Yu said eagerly, since Uncle Zhu has always taken her family's affairs to heart, she can't let the family do thankless.
"That's not necessary, although this repair house is valuable, but it's for people who don't know, our village is helping each other, at most it's to get some food......"
"I only have to trouble Uncle Zhu in this matter, you say I'll do it, the food is no problem, but I feel that it's a bit unreasonable not to pay the salary......" Lin Yu nodded, she only believed Uncle Zhu in this matter, and asked him to help not to save the wages, but to feel that people had contributed and delayed the work, so why should the wages be paid.
"You have to feel embarrassed, then you can talk about it, at most you can give them meaning, but mine is exempt......" Uncle Zhu didn't refute after hearing this, the person he was looking for definitely didn't need to be paid, but he thought that Lin Yu's family was an outsider after all, and he was no one else, so I don't know what people thought in their hearts.
He thought for a while and said, "If they don't accept it then, don't be stubborn, they are all villagers, and you don't care about this ......."
"Hmm......" Lin Yu nodded obediently, but he had his own plans in his heart, she would definitely give the money, and he didn't want to embarrass Uncle Zhu at that time.
After the matter of the house was finished, she wanted to comfort Uncle Zhuzi, but she didn't know how to speak, so she persuaded hesitantly: "...... Uncle Pillar ...... That one...... Well...... Yesterday's incident... You...... Relax... Don't get mad at yourself......"
"Uncle knows, the children's family, worry about it, go back quickly, I'm chopping wood......" Uncle Zhu was embarrassed after hearing this, pushed away the apricot and took his hand, and went to find firewood.
Apricot looked at his father's embarrassed appearance, and craned his neck and smiled at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu thought that he still wanted to go to see Grandma, so he said to Uncle Zhuzi again: "Uncle Zhuzi, I'll go back later, I'll go to see Grandma first......"
Uncle Zhu didn't reply, he waved his hand directly, and said, "Go, go,"
Apricot signed Lin Yu's hand, jumped and ran to her milk's house, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she shouted: "Milk, Sister Xiaoyu has come to see you......"
After shouting, the two entered the house. In the house, the old lady was lying on a carved bed that looked a little old with her eyes closed, and when she heard the cry of apricots, the old lady opened her eyes and turned her head to look at them.
"Oh, it's the fish? Come and sit down," said the old lady, who sat up slowly, patting the edge of the bed
