Chapter 52: Reconstruction after the chaos
After the turmoil, the villagers of the two villages began to work together to rebuild their houses, Shi Shu and others also helped Aunt Niu to renovate the yard, and when there was a shortage of people in the village, Ban Fei, Qu Mingli and others also went to help.
In such a small half a month, the two villages were barely restored to their original appearance, and no one could help with what people and things were missing in each family.
"Dog, that's your room. In the future, I will live next to your Fugui brother, and we will have a companion when we go to school together. If there is anything missing, come and tell your aunt. ”
Aunt Niu led the dog into the newly built compartment, a small window leaked in the wall, the house was bright, and the beds and stools were all new, which was better than Fugui's house.
The dog is slightly bigger than Fugui, and he is a lot stronger. Since the incident, I haven't said a word except crying. Now standing at the door of this new room, but he can't take a step in, he will think, if he doesn't go in, A-Niang will come back, but he himself knows that it is impossible.
Xiao Fugui stood in the house, took out a piece of candy from his pocket, handed it to Goudan, and said to him: "Brother Goudan, if someone bullies me in the future, you will protect me, and if someone bullies you, I will protect you." Luckily? ”
Dogan looked at his extremely sincere face, and finally reached out to take the candy and said, "Okay." Then he walked inside the door and looked at his new room.
When Aunt Niu saw them like this, as if she saw the appearance of her and Aunt Ma when they used to be playmates, she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and she couldn't bear to cry.
"Aunt Niu, we have also built a new room for you." Wei Qin said.
Aunt Niu didn't believe it: "I've been at home all day, so I haven't seen an extra house anywhere." ”
Everyone laughed and said nothing, Wei Qin pulled Aunt Niu to the original stove room and asked her to go in and have a look.
The old stove has been burning for more than ten years, the surrounding soil has long been aged, coupled with heavy oil smoke, the wall is also mottled by smoke, coupled with poor ventilation, the summer is stuffy and hot, and the smell of smoke is difficult to disperse, Aunt Niu is always smoked uncomfortably when cooking.
And Ning Zeqing took this into account when they were resting in the courtyard, so they took the opportunity to renovate the stove room, not only rebuilt the wall, but also dug an extra window opposite the stove, and moved the position of the entrance and exit to the back of the stove, so as to increase air circulation, so that there would be no breath when cooking.
In addition, a lot of kitchen utensils have been added.
Ban Fei felt that the cupboard was old, so he made a bamboo cabinet with his own hands, and built a few layers of mud in the corner where the firewood was stacked, so as not to be poked by the sharp firewood too early. The iron pot has been used for many years, and the walls of the pot have become much thinner, so I invited someone to install a new one; The dishes and chopsticks were a little damaged, so I went to the town to buy a new one and put it away; On the night of the turmoil, the chickens and ducks at home were scared away, so I went to the villagers' houses to buy a few small ones, raised them slowly, and the yard returned to its former noisyness.
Aunt Niu was naturally very happy when she saw this stove room that was not the same as in the past, and she couldn't help but use this new stove room to cook a meal.
Shang Qisi and Yan Caimiao still live in Lin'an Village, but their original residence is gone, and they live next door.
On this day, the two came to Aunt Ma's house as guests, and Yan Caimiao also brought her own craftsmanship for everyone to taste.
"This is mung bean cake that I learned from Aunt Niu's previous method, peel the mung beans, soak them in water and steam them, then mash them into a puree, add rock sugar to the pot and stir-fry, then let them cool, knead the red bean paste filling into a small ball, wrap it with mung bean puree, and then press it into the mold. It was a hot day, and I spent some time chilling it in the well water before I brought it to you. If you don't like it, please help me taste it, right? ”
Yan Caimiao gently took out the lunch box from the bamboo basket and distributed it to everyone to taste.
Qu Mingli smiled: "It's the same as Aunt Niu's taste, and the sweetness is even better, I like it." ”
Ban Fei also replied: "I also think it's a level higher than Aunt Niu's craftsmanship." ”
Yan Caimiao replied to him: "It's just that I thought that everyone loves to eat, so I made some brought." ”
Shi Shu also nodded after eating, and said with a smile: "Brother Shang has a wife like this, it is really a blessing." ”
Ning Zeqing took a sip of taste and asked her, "It seems that there is still some mint fragrance." ”
Yan Caimiao replied to her with a smile: "I soaked mung beans with mint leaves, so I have the fragrance of mint." ”
Ning Zeqing nodded.
Only Wei Qin sat at the table alone, supporting his head with his hands, looking unhappy.
Yan Caimiao saw her like this, took out a bowl of red soup from the bottom of the lunch box in the basket, and brought it to her.
"I touched your hand yesterday and felt a little cold, so I specially boiled a bowl of ginger brown sugar water for you today, it's still hot, drink it."
Wei Qin immediately smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly took it and drank: "It's better to be Sister Yan." ”
Qu Mingli didn't know why Wei Qin was so weird today, and he didn't ask much, just concentrating on eating his own pastries.
Shang Qisi looked at Wei Qin and remembered something: "Speaking of which, Lin'an regards Miss Wei as a life-saver, and I think when you go over there, you can be grateful to Miss Wei." ”
Wei Qin drank the sugar water and didn't raise his head: "What is there to thank for, it's not my credit alone." Besides, thanks to them to save Bi'an, it was all settled. If you really want to thank you, you have to thank Mingli first, if he hadn't dragged the main force, how could he have rescued people so quickly. ”
Qu Mingli saw that someone praised him, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he didn't show it, and he heard the sound of Ning Zeqing putting the dim sum dish on the table, thinking that he was going to say something about himself again.
"It's good to be able to judge the situation."
Ning Zeqing praised himself for the first time, but Qu Mingli thought that he had heard it wrong.
Naturally, it should be praised, when Ning Zeqing formulated the deployment at that time, he did not know the situation of the other party, and he did make a mistake in the operation, even if they returned from failure, they had nothing to say. And Qu Mingli resolutely led a few people to break through the guards of the majority, which laid the chance of saving people. Later, when he returned to help, he also shot the bandit leader with an arrow.
In this way, if you don't praise him, you will praise whom? Lin'an regards Wei Qin as his benefactor, and the hero should actually be Qu Mingli.
Of course, Ning Zeqing would not explain these detailed rules to them, and only condensed them into six-character words, which was already an exception.
"It's just a pity that this place outside the world has been invaded after all, and it is no longer as worry-free as before." Shang Qisi sighed.
There was a moment of silence.
Shi Shu sighed: "If only there were no more wars in the world, the people would not have to suffer from such family destruction." ”
Shang Qisi laughed miserably: "No one wants to go through such troubles, but how can this be done. Some people have ambitions, and ambition will cause trouble. This has been the case since ancient times, and it has never changed. ”
Shi Shu said: "Why should the eldest brother be so pessimistic, if there has never been, it is not impossible to change the way of the world." And how can there be an immutable truth? I firmly believe that things are done by people. ”
When Shang Qisi heard this, he let go of his knot and said with a smile: "If the second brother has this ability, it is naturally good." At that time, the eldest brother will come to see this peaceful and prosperous world. ”
