Chapter 54 Children Like To Play With Mud
Except for Yu Bao, the three little guys in the carriage were all afraid of the men around them.
Even Gu Heng, who usually dared to talk back to General Gu, put his hands on his legs as soon as he got into the carriage, looking like a well-behaved young man from a well-known family.
Helian Jiacheng was the same, he didn't even dare to move his eyes.
Only Fu Bao lay on Ye Ming's lap and asked this and that.
After a while, he asked: "Second Daddy, have Yaya and his family finished building their house?"
Ye Ming: "Not yet, but it will be soon."
After a while, he asked again: "Second Daddy, do they have anything to eat now?"
Ye Ming: "Yes, there are still many sweet potatoes, taro and chestnuts in the mountains. Moreover, in August, there are more fruit and prey in the mountains."
Yu Bao couldn't help but feel proud. She was smart last time and put in a lot of food. How could it be enough for thousands of people to eat? However, no matter how much food there is, if you don't do anything, there will always be a day when it is finished.
Just think of ways to eat more and more.
After a while, Yu Bao asked again: "Second Daddy, have you allocated the land to them?"
Ye Ming nodded: "It's divided. For the time being, each family will be allocated three acres of land based on their population. When those who send laborers to serve, the court will allocate an additional half an acre to each person. Calculated in this way, each family can be allocated at least three acres of land. Peaches can be grown on it.
Plant some vegetables, peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc. below the tree, and it will not be a problem to fill your stomach. When the peaches mature next year, you can sell them for money."
Ye Ming didn't care whether Yu Bao could understand or not, so he told her everything he could about the victims of the disaster these days.
There was indeed a lot that Yu Bao didn't understand, but she only understood two points: the victims would not be hungry, they would have a place to live, and they could still make money, so she felt relieved.
Yaya was helping her father, Li Dayou, drag mud bricks. When she looked up, she saw an exquisite carriage appearing at the entrance of the village. She stood up excitedly and looked at it with straight eyes.
Li Dayou took a shovelful of mud and put it into the mold. He didn't see her move, so he followed his gaze and said excitedly: "My mother! Mother, hurry up and boil the water. The noble man is here!"
In these days, Ye Ming also came to this makeshift village several times, and each time he asked Li Dayou about the conditions of the victims, so Li Dayou knew the carriage.
Yaya looked at her father excitedly: "Dad, look who is that lying on the window?"
It turned out that Yu Bao had already impatiently opened the curtains of the carriage, lay down at the window and looked out.
I saw that there were many more sheds at the foot of the mountain than before, and there were many people walking back and forth, talking and laughing from afar, and they were very happy to see them.
"Sister Yaya!"
Yubao also saw Yaya and waved his little hand to say hello.
Before Yaya could wait for Li Dayou to answer, she heard Yu Bao's voice and ran over.
Yu Bao leaned against the car window and looked at her muddy bare feet. He frowned and asked, "Sister Yaya, don't you have any shoes?"
Yaya rubbed her little feet together sheepishly: "No, no. Mr. Ye has already sent us clothes and shoes. But I was afraid of getting them dirty, so I didn't wear them."
Helian Jiaran couldn't wait to jump off the carriage, looked at Yaya who was covered in mud, and asked excitedly: "What are you playing? Can you take me with you?"
Yaya nodded with a silly smile, then shook her head.
Gu Heng also followed him down. Seeing Yaya looking dirty and silly, he asked: "If you nod your head and shake your head, will you take us to play? If you don't take us, we can play by ourselves!"
Playing in mud is a natural instinct for children. Usually, these pampered children rarely get dust on their soles, let alone touch mud.
Yaya smiled sheepishly: "I'm not playing. I'm helping my dad drag mud bricks to build a house."
"Mud bricks?" Aren't all houses made of stone? Can a house be built with mud? Helian Jiacheng was curious.
Yubao was carried out of the carriage by Ye Ming, and he rushed to say: "I know! This Yubao knows! Yubao can also make mud bricks!"
"Princess can do it too?" Yaya was surprised. She really couldn't imagine how such a clean and cute little princess could touch mud.
Yu Bao puffed up his little chest proudly: "I learned from my mother! Sister Yaya, let's go quickly, I will help you drag the mud bricks."
"I am coming too!"
"I can help too!"
Helian Jiaran and Helian Jiacheng both followed.
Gu Heng bowed his hands to Ye Ming like an adult: "Master Qiansui, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work. I will take good care of Yu Bao and the others."
Ye Ming nodded and was led by Li Dayou to look around.
"Brother Six! You put too little mud in, otherwise the mud bricks will not be strong!" Yu Bao pointed at Helian Jiaran's mold and said.
Several children soon joined the procession of dragging mud bricks. Their cheeks were covered in yellow mud, but they didn't care.
"Third sister, what do you think of mine?" Helian Jiacheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and instantly a piece of mud appeared on his forehead.
Yu Bao shook his head: "Yours won't work either, there's too much mud! Look at Yu Bao! Do what Yu Bao does!"
Originally, Gu Heng was watching from the side like a big brother. After watching, he couldn't help himself and joined in.
Yu Bao grabbed a handful of mud that had not been mixed with thatch and rolled it into a mud ball. Then he picked up a piece of mud and kneaded it into several mud strips of varying thicknesses. Finally, he connected them with wooden sticks and painted eyes crookedly on them.
and mouth, and after a while, a rough little clay figurine was ready.
"Yu Bao, what is this?" Helian Jiaran asked curiously, staring at the clay figurine in his sister's hand.
Yubao raised his little arms proudly: "This is the second daddy! The second daddy made by Yubao!"
"Hahaha! How come you are bald at nine thousand years old!" Helian Jiaran laughed.
Yu Bao was quite angry at first, but when he saw that Sixth Brother was smiling and laughing, he accidentally sat down in the mud and immediately started laughing.
I don’t know who made the move first. They were just dragging mud bricks, but ended up having a mud fight.
It was Wang Jinzhong who saw it and came over to stop it, otherwise, these young masters would have become mud masters and they would not be able to tell who is who.
Yaya's mother brought hot water, moistened a rough cotton cloth and wiped their faces.
"Hey, this little face is so tender, it turns red just by rubbing it." Yaya's mother felt that she had done it lightly enough. Who knew that this princess's little face was tenderer than a peeled egg?
, so that she didn’t even know what to do.
But Yubao didn't care. He took the coarse cloth with a smile and wiped it on his face a few times: "Auntie, Yubao is not afraid of pain."
"Hey, you are so good! Your Highness is so good!" Yaya's mother also learned from Li Dayou that the third princess lost her parents at a young age.
Although the life of their common people is not as hard as that of the princes and princesses in the palace, Yaya has grown up under his nose since she was a child. Although he sometimes reaches out to hit her, but if he thinks about what happens if he gets flooded this time
