"Okay, half a month is half a month." Saying that, he glanced at Zhao Zhengyang, "I hope that the teacher you found will not do such a dirty thing as stealing books again." ”

Although these rural people don't have much money and don't have too much education, they also know that stealing is stealing, and Mr. Yuan deserves to be locked up, not to mention that stealing books is not stealing, but stealing, isn't that the same meaning.

……

The sun had dried all the water, but the house had a big hole.

Ye Jinyan finished drying her clothes and took the wooden bucket in, she stretched out her hand and put her eyes to look at the sky, there were no white clouds on the other side of the mountain, only a little dark cloud was moving slowly, it seemed that it was estimated to be another heavy rain tonight.

She turned her head to look at the dilapidated house, sighed, and went to find Carpenter Li in the east of the village with two taels of silver.

Ye Jinyan came to Carpenter Li's door and saw Carpenter Li's wife Song standing at the door sweeping the floor.

When she saw Ye Jinyan, she smiled and asked, "Yan girl, why are you here?" ”

Ye Jinyan said obediently: "Auntie, I came to find Uncle Li to repair the house, and yesterday the rain was too heavy and broke a hole in my house." ”

Song turned his head to look at his house and hesitated: "Yan girl, you are too unlucky, he just went to the next village to repair the house, it is estimated that it will take a while to come back, or you are waiting here?" ”

Ye Jinyan hesitated for a while, and then heard Song Shi continue: "The head of the family will come back immediately, you go in first, and I will pour you a glass of water." ”

Before Ye Jinyan could agree, the Song family had already entered the house, and Ye Jinyan reluctantly walked in.

Song poured Ye Jinyan a glass of water, wiped his hands, and said with a smile: "You can play here, May Fourth also likes to play with you." ”

Ye Jinyan was slightly stunned, and his brain paused.

Who is May Fourth? Is she familiar with May Fourth?

Ye Jinyan chatted with the Song family while drinking water, and during the discussion, she learned that Wusi was the fourteen-year-old son of the Song family, so Ye Jinyan seemed to have heard about Li Wusi before.

Carpenter Li's son is called Li Wusi, Li Wusi is different from the young people in the village, he sleeps at home all day and reads idle books, and he is beaten by Li Carpenter several times and still refuses to repent, and then Li Carpenter goes with him.

Song and Ye Jinyan chatted, and the more they chatted, the happier they became, and the laugh lines in the corners of their eyes deepened.

Ye Jinyan's demeanor and speech made her very satisfied, and she looked at Ye Jinyan as if she was looking at her future daughter-in-law.

"Although he stays at home every day on May Fourth, he can do a lot of work at home, and he recently plans to go to the town to learn a craft, he often tells me that he will be the first to honor me after learning the craft and making money, but he is really a filial child." Song praised with a smile.

"As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, he is a good son and a good person." Ye Jinyan then agreed, but the smile on her face did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

She had been watching the sky outside and the closed door of Carpenter Li's house, it had been a long time, why hadn't Carpenter Li come back yet.

When Song heard Ye Jinyan praising his son, he was even more satisfied.

Not only does she like Ye Jinyan's demeanor and conversation, but she is even more satisfied with the fact that Ye Jinyan's parents are dead and have separated, and the dowry given to her will return to her own hands at that time, so she is not worried at all about the fact that the fertilizer water will flow into the fields of outsiders.

"May Fourth is really a good boy, but he hasn't found a good marriage until now, so it's better to ......" Song looked at Ye Jinyan, and stopped talking, but the light in his eyes betrayed her.

Ye Jinyan knew what she was planning from the beginning, but she pretended not to know anything.

Song was anxious and just wanted to explain, but was stopped by a voice behind him.

"Mother, when are you going to eat?" Li Wusi walked out of the back room sleepy-eyed, his hair as messy as a bird's nest.

Ye Jinyan was secretly surprised in his heart after seeing it, how sloppy he had to be to make his hair look like this.

"Alas! How did you get out! Song's face darkened, but Ye Jinyan was not angry because of his presence.

Li Wusi was still in a daze and didn't know what year it was, but when he saw Ye Jinyan, he instantly sobered up.

Song Shi saw the changes in Li Wusi on the side, and was secretly happy in his heart, now that the two young people have officially met, she shouldn't be angry, she should leave some space for the two of them to have a good chat.

Song stretched out his hand and put it on Ye Jinyan's hand, and smiled at her: "This is my son Li Wusi, let's meet for the first time, let's have a good chat, I'll go cook first." ”

So saying, she got up from the wooden stool and went into the stove room.

As soon as Song left, the smell of * wafted to the tip of Ye Jinyan's nose, and Ye Jinyan looked up at Li Wusi and found that his expression was not friendly.

Li Wusi looked Ye Jinyan up and down, and said unhappily: "Why did you come to my house?" ”

Ye Jinyan's story is widely spread in the village, firstly, she has no parents, and secondly, she is smart, kind and capable, and many people like her.

Ye Jinyan didn't say anything, just looked at him squarely.

Li Wusi walked up to Ye Jinyan and looked down at her, his eyes full of defense.

Although Li Wusi is the same age as Ye Jinyan, he is very tall, after all, Li Carpenter's height can also be ranked in front of the whole village, Li Wusi followed his father, and at the age of fourteen, he was already taller than half of the people in the village.

Ye Jinyan didn't want to pay attention to him, so he didn't speak.

"Well, what do I ask you? Why don't you ignore me? Are you mute? ”

Li Wusi frowned and walked around Ye Jinyan.

Ye Jinyan looked up at him slightly, his eyes calm like a trickling stream in summer.

Song walked out of the stove room with tea, and when he raised his eyes and saw that Ye Jinyan and Li Wusi were still chatting, he smiled with relief.

"Hey, you two don't stand up when you talk, sit and talk." She put the teacup on the table and beckoned Ye Jinyan and Li Wusi to sit down.

Li Wusi's eyes shifted from Ye Jinyan's body to Song's body, and he shouted, "Mother, I want to eat!" ”

Ye Jinyan is not very comfortable staying here, he wants to go home but then he thinks about it, maybe Carpenter Li will come back soon, it is estimated that it will be a storm tonight, and if the house is not repaired, the house will collapse.

Ye Jinyan hesitated to walk to the table and sit down, Song took a few plates of melon seeds and put them on the table, and smiled softly: "Yan girl, why don't you eat at my house at noon today?" ”

Ye Jinyan shook her head with a smile and said, "No, auntie, Jinyu will go home for dinner then, I'll leave later, by the way, how long will Uncle Li come back?" ”

Song coughed a few times and said, "It may take a long time, the next village is quite far from here, and it will take about half an hour to come and go, plus ...... such as repairing the roof."

"Oh." Ye Jinyan lowered his head and took a sip of water, put back the teacup in his hand, stood up and waved at the Song family and said, "Auntie, I'll go back first, and I'll come back when Uncle Li comes back." ”

Song stood in place with the teacup she had just drunk, trying to keep her but not knowing what to say.
