Chapter 47: The Dam

Ye Yunshu turned his head to meet Xiao Mingting's looking gaze, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I'm here to check the house." ”

"Have you finished reading?"

"I'm done. ”

"How?"

"It's ok. ”

......

The two of them looked at each other inside and outside the wall, Ye Yunshu only felt that the more he looked at it, the more empty his heart became, and his eyes couldn't help but drift.

Then I thought, no, I was originally here to check the house, what is my heart empty?!

After thinking about it, he glared back again.

At this time, Xiao Mingting's face turned red.

Ye Yunshu snorted and continued to walk around the house with satisfaction.

Ye Yunzhong looked at Ye Yunshu's back and scratched his head, did his sister really come to see the house?

Ye Yunshu finished turning around and found that there were still a lot of cracked walls, especially on the pigsty, where the rafters were crumbling.

"Mother, don't go to the pigsty, the rafters are going to fall off. ”

Chen Yunniang nodded when she heard this, "Then we have to change the chicken coop." ”

Ye Yunshu thought about it for a while, and said, "I'll circle a place in the yard for a while, and keep it in the yard." ”

"You don't have to do it. Chen Yunniang persuaded, "You have an injury on your hand, wait for your father to come back and let him come." ”

The rain stopped in the morning, and if Ye Zhengwen stopped raining, he would leave, and he should almost come back.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was movement outside the door, and Ye Yunzhong ran out first.

Sure enough, Ye Zhengwen came back with an ox cart.

Chen Yunniang saw Ye Zhengwen and finally put down the big stone in her heart.

"Is the family okay?" Ye Zhengwen asked after jumping off the ox cart.

The rain last night was so heavy that he didn't sleep much all night, worried about whether something would happen to the house, after all, the house was indeed too old.

Chen Yunniang smiled gently, "The house in the Ming Court is uninhabitable, and the rafters of the pigsty are about to fall off." Shu'er fell yesterday and broke her hand. ”

When Ye Zhengwen heard that Ye Yunshu had fallen, he hurriedly asked, "Shu'er, are you still injured?"

Ye Yunshu shook his head, "Dad, I'm fine." ”

There were a lot of things pulled on the ox cart, all of which were prepared by Chen Yunniang's mother's family, including clothes for Ye Yunshu and Ye Yunzhong and unborn children, as well as some pickled bamboo shoots and dried vegetables made by the Lu family.

"It's all put on by my mother-in-law and my second brother. Ye Zhengwen also seemed a little embarrassed.

Chen Yunniang nodded, knowing that this was her mother's family supporting herself, so she said, "Let's prepare more New Year's gifts." ”

"Good. Ye Zhengwen nodded without thinking.

"By the way, how is Dad?" Chen Yunniang asked about the situation at her mother's side.

"It's worse than last year. Ye Zhengwen replied, "The cough is terrible." ”

When Chen Yunniang heard this, she frowned, and asked about the other people in the family, and Ye Zhengwen also answered them one by one.

Ye Yunshu saw that the two of them were chatting a lot, so he greeted Xiao Mingting and Ye Yunzhong, and the three small ones moved all their things into the house.

After resting for a while, Ye Yunshu told Ye Zhengwen about the situation of the house, and Ye Zhengwen checked the crack in Xiao Mingting's house, and also frowned.

"Shu'er, you go to the patriarch and ask if it will rain in the near future. ”

"Good. Ye Yunshu nodded, and walked to Patriarch Ye's house.

Patriarch Ye is the only old man in the village who can look at the sky, not to say that he is 100% accurate, but he is still accurate eight times out of ten.

Ye Yunshu walked through the village to Patriarch Ye's house, and just walked to the door of Chen Laoliu's house, he heard a whisper in the house.

"Oh, why are you so anxious!"

It was Chen Laoliu's daughter-in-law, Yao, who spoke.

A man answered, but his voice was so small that he couldn't hear it clearly.

Then there were the intermittent voices of men and women.

Ye Yunshu didn't listen to people's habits in the corner, and knew what was going on in the house, so he blushed and walked away quickly.

also said in his heart that the relationship between these two people is really good, and they are not shy about it in broad daylight.

When he arrived at Patriarch Ye's house, Ye Yunshu stood outside the courtyard and shouted, "Is Patriarch Grandpa at home?"

"At home. "The one who answered was the patriarch's daughter-in-law, Ye Meng.

"Thank you, Grandma Meng. Ye Yunshu smiled sweetly at Ye Mengshi who came to open the door.

Ye Mengshi smiled kindly, "It's a tiger girl, come in, your patriarch grandfather is in the hall, what are you looking for him?"

"I'll ask if it's going to rain heavily lately. ”

When Ye Mengshi heard this, he said, "There is something wrong with your house?"

"Hmm. Ye Yunshu nodded, "The wall is cracked, and the rafters are about to fall off." ”

"Be careful. Ye Meng's face was positive, "If the rafters fall off, it won't be easy for the tiles to hit people, especially your Erlang." ”

"Thank you, Grandma Meng, for the reminder. Ye Yunshu smiled gratefully, "I have already instructed Erlang." ”

"It's better to fix it quickly. ”

"Mm-hmm, my dad said the same. ”

The two of them entered the house, and Patriarch Ye was crouching in front of the desk looking at things.

"Patriarch Grandpa. Ye Yunshu shouted politely.

But Patriarch Ye didn't move, Ye Mengshi stepped forward and patted Patriarch Ye on the shoulder, "Old man!

Patriarch Ye raised his head at this time, and when he saw that it was Ye Yunshu, he asked with a smile: "Is Yunshu girl here?"

"Patriarch Grandpa, let me ask if it will rain heavily recently?"

Ye Mengshi added, "The rafters on the side of their old house are loose and are about to fall, old man, you can help take a look, and it is easy to arrange for the text to go back." ”

"I'll see. Patriarch Ye said, then got up and took out an old yellow calendar from the bookshelf next to him, and after turning a few pages, he walked to the courtyard with a cane, and looked at the sky for a long time before saying, "There has been no rain recently, Yun Shu girl, rest assured." ”

Ye Yunshu nodded, "Thank you, Patriarch Grandpa." ”

"You're welcome. Patriarch Ye waved his hand, "Your father is a scholar, I'm afraid I can't get the rafter thing, I'll let Uncle Qing take a look and help you when I go back." ”

Ye Qing is Ye Changde's eldest son and a candidate for the next patriarch.

"It's too much trouble. Ye Yunshu was a little embarrassed.

"What's the trouble, they are all people in the clan, and if they can help, they will naturally help, not to mention, we are still close relatives. Patriarch Ye stretched out his hand and patted Ye Yunshu's head.

At that moment, Ye Yunshu felt that he was a bit like Ye Yunzhong, usually this kind of head-beating work was his, and he really had to call Ye Yunzhong next time.

Patriarch Ye and Ye Laohan are cousins, and the two families are the closest close relatives in the clan, but because of the things that Ye Laohan and Ye Li did, Patriarch Ye couldn't look at it, so he was a little estranged from the old Ye family.

But the relationship with Ye Yunshu's family is still good.

"Then thank you Patriarch Grandpa and Uncle Qing first. ”

As soon as Ye Yunshu's words fell, an old man appeared in front of the courtyard gate and asked, "Ouch, what are you doing in the courtyard?"

Patriarch Ye looked at the person who came and said enthusiastically: "Lao Li is here, come in and sit, come in and sit!"

"I'm not going to sit down. Li Lizheng waved his hand and walked into the courtyard, "I'm here to deliver the message." ”

"What's wrong?" Patriarch Ye's expression also became solemn.

"Didn't it rain heavily yesterday?" Li Lizheng explained, "The Longjiang River over there in Huoshen Village has risen a lot, and the dam downstream has been broken, but fortunately, the rain stopped this morning, otherwise it would be a big trouble. ”
