Brother Huai followed Aunt Zhilan to the door, and Yan Nian also came out to send the two of them, "Aunt Zhilan, don't worry about Yan Nian, I'm already fine, and Brother Huai, after you send your aunt, talk to Xiaowei, both of them are engaged, you must cultivate your feelings well." ”

If there are too many words, Yan Nian is embarrassed to say more.

Hearing Yan Nian say this, Zhilan happily agreed: "Okay, my aunt is going back, you quickly close the door and rest." ”

Yan Nian watched the two of them disappear into the night, then turned around and closed the door and returned to the room with the pig food bucket.

Just after recovering from a serious illness, Yan Nian's body was still a little weak, and after settling the two children, Yan Nian hurriedly lay down.

After a while, the two children fell asleep.

Although Yan Nian was weak, he was not sleepy, listening to the even breathing sound of the two Xiaobao beside him, and remembered the words that the original owner had entrusted him.

Yan Nian made up her mind that she must live well, raise the two little treasures well, and give them the best life is the right way.

Yan Nian thought, this courtyard is really unsafe, his illness is cured, and he will build the wall of this courtyard tomorrow. In two days, the window will be ready.

There was still a shortage of wells at home, and Yan Nian remembered that there were a few families in this village with deep well water in their yards, and other households still went to the spring at the foot of the mountain to fetch water for their homes.

I still have some money in my hand now, and once the money is all spent, what do I expect to support this family?

Yan Nian must think of a way to make money, and after spending all the money, he and his children will worry about a mouthful of food.

Thinking about it, Yan Nian fell asleep.

The next day, Yan Nian got up very early, fed the pigs and chickens, and then cleaned the yard again, standing in the yard, looking at the eastern sky revealing the white belly of the fish, Yan Nian stretched his arms and thighs, and practiced a trip to the yard, about half an hour, Yan Nian stopped his steps, took a deep breath, and adjusted his heartbeat.

After practicing his fists and kicks, Yan Nian turned around and went back to the room to cook some food.

This time there was rice and white noodles, Yan Nian made a big pot of rice, and took out the meat and fried two decent dishes.

After eating, Yan Nian stood in the yard waiting for the carpenter, the two little treasures in the house were still asleep, and felt that Ni Carpenter was coming, so Yan Nian walked to the door and met Ni Carpenter at the door.

Carpenter Ni asked Yan Nian as he walked towards Yan Nian's courtyard, "Where are you going so early?" ”

Yan Nian looked at the sun that was about to rise and said, "Today I want to renovate the courtyard wall, and I will go out to find a few people to help build the wall." ”

"Ah, you're going to build a wall, then, you go to my house to find your eldest brother to come over and help you for a day, he is going to watch the store anyway, and there are your aunt and Yirou at home, and it's okay if you're not at home for a day or two."

Yan Nian thanked Carpenter Ni: "Then thank you uncle, I'll go to your house to have a look." Saying that, Yan Nian walked out of the gate.

Yan Nian thought as he walked, "I'd better find someone else first, although this Ni Tiegang lived and died with him on the way back from the market, he always felt that this man had something to think of him." ”

While thinking, Yan Nian walked into the yard of his neighbor He Ling, who was taking out a futon to dry. Seeing Yan Nian coming, he hurriedly put the futon on the laundry rope in the middle of the yard and beckoned, "Yan Nian, why are you busy so early today?" Fast into the house. ”

"Sister He Ling, is your brother-in-law at home? I'm going to repair the courtyard wall today, and I want to ask my brother-in-law to help me for a day. ”

Yan Nian said as he looked towards the door.

Hearing the sound of talking in the courtyard, He Ling's brother-in-law Chu Jun pushed open the door and came out, "Yan Nian, you came just in time, if you want to be late, I will go up the mountain to fetch firewood, then I will go up the mountain again tomorrow." ”

He Ling also smiled and said: "You Yan Nian is really a good person to live, it turns out that Li Bo has lived in that courtyard for most of his life, and I haven't seen him repair the courtyard once." You sit in the house for a while, wait for the boy and his father for a while, and he will pass. ”

"No, I've thanked He Ling's brother-in-law first, I still have to find someone else to help, I want to finish repairing the front and back courtyard walls in one day."

Yan Nian said and hurriedly walked out of the door.

"You wait, I'll go to my brother He Wang to help you for a day, there are many people, there is great strength." He Ling hurriedly shouted to Yan Nian and said.

"That's a good feeling!" Yan Nian said with a smile, turned around and walked back, thought about it and said, "However, your brother He Wang doesn't know if he has time to come over today." ”

He Ling said as she walked into the house, "No problem, you go to find two more people, I will go back to the room and tell your brother-in-law that I will go to Hedong to find my brother, and let him go to your house with his brother-in-law to help." ”

Yan Nian thanked He Ling, and walked towards the village road with brisk steps, not knowing who to go to to find someone, Yan Nian was very confused.

At this moment, seeing Fang Mingyu's horse-drawn sedan driving this way, Yan Nian knew that Fang Mingyu had gone to the private school in the town at this time, so he hurriedly turned around and avoided the sedan chair.

"Yan Nian, what are you doing standing here?" At this time, Fang Mingyu had already seen himself, and Yan Nian had to turn around and greet him: "Brother Mingyu, you are going to a private school." ”

"Well, I'm going to take the exam in July, so I'll be busy all the time." Fang Mingyu looked at Yan Nian, who was a little emaciated, and there was a touch of imperceptible pity in his heart.

"Ah, then you should go quickly, lest you miss your studies."

"It's nothing, tomorrow I will prepare for the exam at home, and today I will go to the town to get back the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, what are you busy with?"

"I'm looking for someone to help build the wall, okay, you can hurry up and go there." Yan Nian smiled and waved his hand to signal Fang Mingyu to hurry up.

Hearing that Yan Nian was going to repair the wall, Fang Mingyu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I will come back from the town soon, and I will also help you." After that, Fang Mingyu hurriedly shouted: "Coachman, let's go." ”

After Yan Nian waved his hand and said goodbye to Fang Mingyu, he turned around and walked towards Xiaowei's house.

Fang Mingyu sat in the sedan chair, holding the sedan door with his hand, and looked at Yan Nian like this until he walked away.

Yan Nian didn't know where to find someone to help him anymore, so he wanted to find someone to help him cook at noon, and he could also help transport stones and soil or something.

came to Xiaowei's house to explain the situation, and Aunt Zhilan naturally asked Xiaowei to follow Yan Nian to help, and was very grateful to Yan Nian for letting Brother Huai send her home last night.

Yan Nian didn't understand and asked Zhilan: "Auntie, how can the giver thank me?" You're much closer than an outsider like me! After speaking, Yan Nian looked at the side and smiled.

Zhilan also smiled and said: "You don't know, although Brother Huai and Xiaowei are engaged, but the two of them really spend very little time together, Brother Huai sat at my house for a long time last night, and then Xiaowei sent Brother Huai home, this morning Brother Huai sent Xiaowei back, looking at the two children so loving, my wife's heart is sweeter than honey!" ”

"Really? That's really good for you! Yan Nian looked at Xiaowei with a smile.

"Let's go, don't listen to my mother, I'm ashamed!" Xiao Wei said coquettishly.

"Okay, let's go."

Yan Nian and Xiaowei left Zhilan's house and walked to their own house with joy.
