Pushing open the door, Yan Nian hugged the two Xiaobao and returned to his new home.

Nuo Nuo slid down on his mother, and said in a milky voice: "My mother is tired for a day, Nuo Nuo will go by herself." So saying, he walked to the door of the room on his short legs.

When Yanyan saw her brother like this, she also broke free from Yan Nian's embrace and chased after her brother.

Yan Nian looked at the two cute little babies, and suddenly forgot all about any unpleasantness.

Looking at the fire that had been extinguished in the yard, he reached out and grabbed a handful of the haystack, and then put a bale of fine straw on it, so that a broom was made.

After carefully cleaning the yard, Yan Nian hurried back to the room.

Seeing that the two little guys were circling around the iron pot, Yan Nian stepped forward and squatted down: "Are Nuo Nuo and my sister already hungry?" I'll cook right away. ”

"Mother, my sister and I are not hungry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his sister's stomach gurgling again, Yan Nian hugged the two Xiaobao, kissed his forehead and said, "I'll cook, you go to the house and wait." ”

Nuo Nuo got up and said like a little adult: "Mother, I'll go to the fire with you, and you can cook." ”

Yanyan gestured with her new rice bowl on the kang, "This one is my brother's, this one is my mother's..."

Yan Nian blamed herself very much, the family had a handful of rice brought over when the family was separated, and a little salt, it seems that this meal can only be eaten as porridge.

After boiling the water, Yan Nian put the handful of rice that had been washed in the pot, and Nuo Nuo added another handful of firewood to the stove and burned it.

The rice was opened, there was no lid on the pot, it could only be opened and burned, and Yan Nian wanted to get a lid when he turned around.

I went to the yard and plucked some gray cabbage and plantain, washed and chopped them, put them in a pot, put a little salt on them, and boiled them with rice.

After a while, the rice was fragrant, and the two little ones sat on the kang and waited to eat.

Yan Nian came to the house with a small wooden pot of rice porridge, and gave Xiaobao a small bowl for each person.

Five-year-old Nuo Nuo looked at the rice porridge in his mother's bowl, picked up a spoon and gave it to Yan Nian, "Mother is tired of working and eats more, Nuo Nuo eats less." ”

Yan Nian, who was blowing rice porridge for Xiao Yanyan, looked at her sensible little son, and felt bad in her heart, "Xiaobao, you are full, my mother's half a bowl is enough." ”

After eating, Yan Nian was cleaning the dishes and chopsticks in the outhouse, when he heard someone outside the courtyard shouting: "Where is Yan Nian at home?" ”

Yan Nian hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the door, and saw Feng Baochuan, the assistant manager of the village, and Ni Dashu, the carpenter, standing outside the gate with a few wooden boards, looking into the courtyard.

"It's coming, it's coming." Yan Nian agreed and walked out.

Seeing Yan Nian come out, the assistant pushed open the wooden door and walked into the courtyard from the outside, "Uncle Song asked us to come to your house to measure the size of the door frame, this wooden board was brought by your father-in-law." ”

"It's hard work for two uncles." Yan Nian didn't expect the door repairer to come so quickly, and thought that he would come over tomorrow to make a wooden door.

Seeing the two of them comparing and drawing on the door, Yan Nian hurriedly boiled some water and put it on the windowsill, "Two uncles, drink some water, it's really hard." ”

Assistant Manager Feng Bo looked at the two grass houses and said: "Yan Nian, this house is really too old, it's okay to be better this day, but it's not easy to do if it rains, just look at these two big holes and you'll be able to bear it." ”

"It's okay uncle, Yan Nian just came out of the family, now you can have a place to live, take your time with the rest, the house can be repaired if it leaks."

Carpenter Ni never spoke, carefully marking the board with an ink fountain.

At this time, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came in outside the door, and when she saw a few people speak, she said, "Dad, look at you, why don't you go home for dinner at this time?" ”

Yan Nian searched for the memory of the original owner in his mind, and remembered that this little girl with a bright appearance was Ni Dashu's daughter, named Ni Yirou.

Thinking of this, Yan Nian hurriedly said, "Sister Yirou is here, come into the house and sit." ”

Ni Yirou looked at Yan Nian, "Can you have a place to sit in your house?" And let me in! ”

Unexpectedly, this little girl talked to herself like this, Yan Nian hurriedly said: "Although Yan Nian's new home environment is poor, it can't always be like this, it will be fine in the future." ”

"Whew!" Ni Yirou glanced at the house with disdainful eyes, "Such a house is still the old house of the Li family, and you are not afraid that Li Laohan will ask you for a house in the middle of the night!" ”

"How do you speak, kid?" Carpenter Ni looked up at his daughter and said.

Erou stopped talking.

"Li Laohan can't come to ask for a house, so you can do whatever you want?"

Several people heard the sound of the voice and looked at it in unison.

Li Lianhe from the upper courtyard squeezed in from the two fence gates, "What? I just came back from going out, and this yard was occupied? Who told you to move in? ”

Yan Nian looked at this Li Lianhe, knowing that he was here to find trouble, and hurriedly said: "Brother Li, Yan Nian has separated from the Liu family and has no place to live, so I moved here, what's the matter?" Is this house yours? ”

"Ah, Yan Nian, this house was promised to be given to me before Uncle Li died, you came to live quietly, and you didn't pass me, I think you should move out and find another place."

After that, he gestured to the assistant and the carpenter: "You can repair the door of the house, and when you come, you will burn the door of my house like this!" ”

Ni Dashu stopped his hand, looked at the assistant, and then looked at Yan Nian, not knowing what to do.

"Dad, hurry home! Don't let no one give you money when you're done with your work! Ni Yirou on the side shouted at her father.

The assistant got up and looked at Yan Nian, "I really don't know this, Yan Nian, I think you should go to Lizheng Song Bo." ”

Yan Nian stood aside and said with a smile: "No, I will live in this house today!" ”

Then he looked at Li Lianhe and said with a smile: "Brother Li, today I call you Brother Li, this house is Uncle Li's house, he has no relatives and children, I haven't heard that you are Uncle Li!" You said he promised you before his death, what about the evidence? ”

Hearing Yan Nian ask him like this, Li Lianhe said impatiently: "You are a widow, how do you know that Li Bo did not promise me?" What evidence? Hurry up? ”

The assistant hurriedly said: "Look at you, don't mind, I'll talk about it when Lizheng comes." ”

"Yirou, hurry up and run for me and find Uncle Song." The associate said.

Yirou lowered her head and didn't move, "I'm not going, Dad, let's go home." ”

Carpenter Ni Dashu roared: "Hurry up!" ”

Ni Yirou reluctantly agreed, "Ah! He hurried out the door.

"Can you live here? Tell you Yan Nian, it's not that I don't sympathize with you, I have been optimistic about this yard for a long time, and I am going to build a house for my baby and keep it for my daughter-in-law! ”

Yan Nian said with a smile: "Brother Li, is the place you are optimistic about yours?" No one inherited this house, it should have been owned by the village, you don't count! ”

"You! Today I'll see if what I'm talking about counts! With that, Li Lianhe rushed into the house.
