Chapter 56: Delivering Water
Chapter 56: Delivering Water
"Big brother, do you want to go to the hut?" As soon as this question was asked, Ye Shao didn't think there was anything wrong, but Ye Yinfeng blushed.
"Well, wait a minute, I'll be on it when Dad comes back." Ye Yinfeng was very embarrassed to say it.
Seeing that his eldest brother's face was red for most of the time, Ye Shaoke reacted.
In the morning, he drank white rice porridge with some cold bracken, and now he has drunk such a big bowl of soup and medicine, Ye Shao can think that his eldest brother is also anxious.
Ye Shaoke turned to look at the little guy and reached out to touch the top of his head.
"Xiao Tao, you will obediently accompany the eldest brother in the room, I will send some water to my father and mother first, and I will be back soon."
Ye Yintao nodded obediently and agreed: "Okay, sister, go quickly, don't be in such a hurry to come back, I won't go anywhere." ”
Ye Shaoke smiled at the two brothers very gently, walked out of the house, and went out with a basket of water.
The courtyard was not far from the thatched house, just over two hundred meters away. Ye Shaoke thought that his eldest brother should be in a hurry, so he hurriedly accelerated his steps.
When he came to that courtyard, the door was opened, Ye Shaoke walked in, and he saw that the people in the courtyard were busy. Ye Shaoke was a little surprised, and a little doubtful that he had gone to the wrong place.
The Lan family, who was pulling weeds in the yard, got up and saw Ye Shaoke standing at the door in a daze, and saw his daughter standing there motionless, Lan hurriedly shouted: "Shake, what are you doing standing there?" ”
Hearing Lan's voice, Ye Shaoke came to his senses and made sure that he was not in the wrong place.
At the same time, hearing Lan's voice, the two women who were squatting on the ground and pulling weeds also got up and raised their heads to look at the door.
Ye Shaoke was walking towards them with a basket at this time.
"Mother, I'll bring you some water."
"Aunt Zhou, auntie, why are you here, it's really hard for you." Ye Shao could see the two women who were already sweating profusely, and he felt deeply in his heart.
Although I only experienced the sincere treatment of Uncle Zhou's family yesterday, I saw the two families again today, and I was still moved in my heart when I treated my family so sincerely.
The two Yang clans were present now, and they smiled heartily at Ye Shao.
The village chief's daughter-in-law is called Ye Yang's here, and Zhou's uncle's family is called Zhou Yang's.
"Xiao Ke, as soon as your uncle went back at night yesterday, he told me about the situation of your family, but you don't want to move to your uncle's house, thinking that time is urgent, so I will come over to help you sort it out."
"Thank you so much, then I'll go home and cook a good meal later, and treat the two aunts well." Ye Shaoke was very grateful in his heart, and for the time being, he only thought of this method to return.
"Xiao Ke, don't be polite to us, I just became sisters with your mother yesterday, aren't you going to see us like this?" It was Zhou Yang who spoke.
"Aunt Zhou, I'll call Xiaohai and Uncle Zhou over later, as well as Uncle and Grandpa and those two cousins. Don't worry, there will be no beasts coming down during the day, we have been living here for several days, and we have not seen any beasts. ”
As soon as the two of them heard Ye Shaoke say that, if they didn't eat at her house, didn't they say that they were afraid of meeting wild beasts at her house?
Ye Yang and Zhou Yang were a little helpless when they heard this.
"Okay, your Uncle Zhou, uncle, and your grandfather are all in the back room, and I'll go back to the village to call your cousin later, and your Uncle Zhou's little sea brother."
It was Ye Yang who spoke.
In fact, so many years have passed, and in recent years, there have been fewer beasts coming down from the mountain, and I haven't heard anyone injured by wild beasts. Didn't they come back well, and they brought back a wild boar. In fact, thinking about it, there seems to be nothing to be afraid of in the back mountains now.
Of course, it was Zhou Yang and Ye Yang who were thinking about it in their hearts, they were all nothing, they were just a little worried about their children, but after thinking about it, Ye Jing's family didn't have anything to do with their children, so they slowly put down their psychological worries.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Ye Shaoke was very happy, she was very surprised, the grandfather was old, and he also came to her house to help.
"Well, I didn't know you were here, so I only brought two bowls." Ye Shaoke said with some embarrassment.
"Heh, what's this, we women use one, just send one to the men in the back room." Of course, it was Ye Yang who spoke so freely.
After speaking, he took out the bowl from the basket himself, poured a bowl, and let the Lan family drink it first. Lan is the master, she will drink it first, of course she refuses.
"Sister-in-law, there is a reason why I drink first, or you drink first." Lan pushed back.
Ye Yang is not a hypocritical person, he drank a bowl cleanly, and he still felt a little unfinished. She didn't know if it was because the water was different from her family's, or because she was really thirsty, and felt that the water was sweeter than she usually drank.
Ye Yang finished drinking, and then poured a bowl for Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang is not a procrastinator, but like Ye Yang, he has a neat and refreshing temperament. I also took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
After the Lan family also drank it, Ye Shaoke carried the basket into the back room.
"Grandpa, uncle, Uncle Zhou, dad, come and rest, I brought water, you can drink saliva first." Ye Shaoke put down the basket and greeted everyone.
"Yo! Can you bring us water? Look, grandpa, I'm thirsty! ”
Ye Dashan put down the broom in his hand, strode over, took the bowl handed over by Ye Shaoke, drank it all in one go, and beckoned, pouring another bowl. Ye Shao can be full again.
After everyone drank and played with water, Ye Shaoke told his father about his eldest brother, and Ye Jing went back first.
Ye Shaoke picked up the extended version of the chicken feather blanket that Ye Jing had just put there and began to sweep the cobwebs on the roof.
Living in this back mountain for a few days, they often pass by this courtyard, but the big courtyard door is locked, and they can't see the inside, the outer wall is a high courtyard wall, as if it was deliberately heightened, maybe the previous owner was also afraid of a beast suddenly coming down from the mountain.
The house is not bad, from the outside, it looks like it is at least an old house that has been built for decades, but the materials are all blue bricks and black tiles, and the wood is not much damaged, so it is no problem to live there for a few more years.
The house is like the layout of a general quadrangle, with three main houses horizontally, two wings on the left and right, on both sides of the door, there is a utility room and a kitchen, a large courtyard in the middle, and a stone table is paved on the way to each door, and there is a stone table in the courtyard. The whole yard still looks very good, not much better than the thatched house.
"Xiao Ke, don't be busy, a few of our old men will get it done quickly, you better go back and take care of the house, your father will come back soon, your eldest brother still needs someone to take care of it?"
Ye Shao, who was cleaning, could hear the sound and retracted his gaze.
looked at Ye Dashan: "Grandpa, that's good, I'll work hard for you, I'll come to my house for dinner later, I've already told Uncle Auntie and Aunt Zhou about them." ”
"Okay, then grandpa, I'm welcome." Ha ha!
Uncle Zhou, who was repairing the wooden pillars, was still a little embarrassed to speak: "Xiao Ke, don't be so troublesome, we will have food when we go back to the house later, and I have already told Xiaohai to cook well." ”
"Uncle Zhou, why are you still polite to me, I'll call Xiaohai over later, and Aunt Zhou agreed."
"Hah! Ha! Yes, I heard that Xiao Ke's craftsmanship is very good, otherwise let's try it together today? Of course, it was the hearty village uncle who spoke.
When he heard that Ye Shaoke's two recipes were sold for three hundred taels, he really wanted to try the dishes she cooked, not to mention that it was approved by Baiweiju.
Without waiting for Uncle Zhou to nod, Ye Shaoke left with the basket. After saying goodbye to the Lan family in the courtyard, Ye Shaoke rushed home.
As soon as Ye Jing put Ye Yinfeng on his back and put it on the bed, Ye Shaoke entered the house.
Ye Shaoke filled the jar with water and put it in the basket, so that he could take it away with his father when he left.
"Shake, then I'll go first." Ye Jing was about to leave with the basket, but was stopped by Ye Shaoke again.
"Dad, give me some silver, I just told my grandfather that they will come to our house for dinner at noon, this family has been helping all morning, and it is not good to eat or invite a meal, right?"
At first, when he heard that his daughter asked for silver, Ye Jing was still a little surprised. Listening to what his daughter said, I was a little embarrassed. As the head of the family, I didn't even expect such a trivial matter, but fortunately I have a daughter who is so good at directors.
"Shake, if you want to spend money, take it yourself, Dad has put it in the cupboard, and the key is here." As he spoke, he handed over a bunch of keys that he had placed close to his body to Ye Shaoke.
"Dad, you just put the silver in a place as obvious as the cupboard? You are not afraid that a robber will come one day, and you will pry the cabinet open, and then our family will drink the northwest wind. ”
"Huh? I didn't expect that! Then where do you say to put them away, or you put them away, and Daddy will come to you to get them when he uses them? ”
Ye Shaoke thought about it and nodded in agreement, after all, his space is the best place to put things!
"Then, shake, if you see what you are missing, go to the grocery store at the entrance of the village to buy it, although the things there are more expensive than those in the town, but we can't wronged your grandfather and them when we treat them."
"Well, I know, Dad, you slaughtered the two chickens in the yard, and we will eat them together while there are many people today."
"Huh? Isn't there still wild boar? That chicken is left to lay eggs, so why don't you brothers and sisters make up for it? ”
"Dad, didn't you promise the old house that we don't want anything to divide the family? The eldest brother was injured so badly this time, and the younger brother has been in poor health, and it was not caused by them, if we don't kill them today, Ming'er will definitely be arrested with their virtue. ”
