After resting one night in the inn, Ye Chuqiu sneaked out of the city while avoiding people in the early morning of the next day.
On the way, she wiped off the makeup on her face, changed out of her coat, and then walked towards Wujiagou Qiuye Mountain.
When she walked to Qiuye Mountain, she heard the sound of someone talking in the distance, and the sound of felling trees. Walking all the way up, when she arrived at the gate of the manor, she realized that she was not at home during this time. Compared with before, the manor was
It has changed a lot.
The weeds in front of the door were cleared, the fallen wall skin was scraped off, and white lime was scraped on. The large white wall with green vines gave it a unique elegance.
The wall was scraped and the vines were left behind. It seemed that they had put a lot of thought into it.
Ye Chuqiu walked forward and saw that the steps that were previously covered with moss had now been cleaned up, revealing the original color of the steps. The two open doors were painted with red paint, and a new one was added under the feet.
New threshold.
As soon as they entered the house, Fugui Laifu heard her movements and ran towards her wagging their tails. They were so excited that their tails were almost wagging to the sky, and they were so excited that they wanted to pounce on her.
"Get down!"
Ye Chuqiu scolded them lightly, and the two puppies moved away from her, but they still waggled their tails crazily and couldn't help but rush towards her again.
"Mother!"
Zhao Hehua, who was sitting outside the hall sewing clothes, heard the movement outside, raised his head, saw Ye Chuqiu, and hurriedly greeted him, "You are back."
"Lotus, how is everything at home?"
Ye Chuqiu came over and asked her kindly. Zhao Hehua quickly responded, "Everything is fine at home. You are not at home during this period. Dahu invited people from the village to repair our house. Now it is
I'm taking people to cut down trees on the mountain."
"Not bad, not bad."
Ye Chuqiu took a look at the yard and nodded. The weeds in the yard had been cleared away, and the dilapidated rockery had been renovated. The rockery was surrounded by a small pool. The pool and rockery were facing the courtyard door.
It forms a natural screen wall.
Now, the rockery has been erected again, and clean water has been put in the small pool again. Ye Chuqiu looked around and said, oh, good guy, there are a few carps in it, but they are the kind of carp that can be eaten.
.
"My daughter-in-law thought that this pool was empty, so she asked Erhu to buy a few carp and put them in it. Whenever he wants to eat, he can eat fresh ones at any time." Seeing Ye Chuqiu staring at the carp, Zhao Hehua
He explained from the side.
"It's a very good idea. I suggest you put some in both large and small sizes. This will be more cost-effective." Ye Chuqiu said.
"Mom is right, I will ask Erhu to buy a few more small ones tomorrow. In this way, the small fish will grow into big fish, and that is called fish farming." Zhao Hehua said something, walked around the rockery, and headed towards
Go forward.
Ye Chuqiu followed behind her. She looked towards both sides of the yard and saw that the originally damaged corridors on both sides had been repaired and became clean and tidy. Because they had not been repainted, they looked a little older.
trace.
Walking past the rockery, you will find the main entrance. The missing door and window leaves have been repaired. Looking up, you can see that the roof has been re-tiled, and there is no more light leakage.
The ground underfoot is paved with floor tiles, and a lot of furniture has been added to the house. It finally has a sense of life, which is very different from the dilapidated appearance before.
"Mom, let me pour you some tea."
Zhao Hehua walked to the table and stretched out her hand to pour tea for Ye Chuqiu. Then she remembered that she was still holding clothes and needlework in her hands. She quickly walked outside and put away the clothes and needlework.
"Four tigers, five phoenixes, mother is back."
While she picked up something to pour tea, she shouted to the backyard. Soon, Sihu and Wufeng ran in sweating profusely.
"What were you doing just now?" Ye Chuqiu had already finished drinking tea, looked at his children, and asked lovingly.
"Mom, I'm learning martial arts from Wufeng." Sihu said loudly.
"Oh, Wu Feng, how is your martial arts practice now? Can you still teach the Four Tigers?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"I've practiced pretty well. I know everything my mother taught me." Wufeng was always a straight-tempered person, and he was never modest in front of Ye Chuqiu, so he immediately answered abruptly.
"Okay, how about showing my mother a set of punches?" Ye Chuqiu said.
"no problem."
What Ye Chuqiu admires the most is Wufeng. She is very forthright and not shy at all. Like some girls, even if they have learned some talents, they are shy and unwilling to show them in front of their family. Wufeng is not like this. She
I am happy to show it to Ye Chuqiu.
So the three of them walked to the backyard. As expected, Wufeng started punching in a serious manner. Her face was sullen and serious, and her movements were very smooth. For some reason, Ye Chuqiu looked at the profile of her punching face.
He actually thought of Lin Qingchuan.
Wufeng's nose is very similar to his, tall and straight, and her eyebrows are also similar. They are not as thin as willows, but have long eyebrows like Lin Qingchuan's, especially the way she punches. This heroic spirit,
It suddenly came out through the tail of my eyebrows.
Ye Chuqiu stared at her blankly, how lucky she was to have such an outstanding daughter. At this moment, after finishing her fist fight, she picked up the small wooden sword on the side and started dancing with the sword. She didn't need anyone's supervision.
She takes the initiative to practice martial arts. She likes to practice martial arts, she is simple and persistent.
"Mom, I'm done practicing."
I don’t know how long it took, but a fallen leaf fell at Ye Chuqiu’s feet. Only then did Ye Chuqiu come back to her senses. She smiled and applauded her, “Wufeng, you are so amazing.”
Wufeng pursed her lips and her face was dripping with sweat. When she heard Ye Chuqiu's praise, her serious face couldn't help but smile.
"Mom, when you were not at home, I also memorized several poems. Can I read them to you?" Sihu on the side also said something when he saw this.
"OK."
Hearing Ye Chuqiu's promise, he immediately shook his head and started to read, "Chichi is a gangster, he holds cloth and trades silk, bandits come to trade silk, and he comes with my plan..."
"Okay, not bad."
Ye Chuqiu listened to him finish reciting it and applauded him, "This poem is very difficult to memorize. Sihu, you are also great."
Ye Chuqiu did not hesitate to praise, and Sihu was happy to hear it, with a smile on his face, "Mom, I also learned other poems. I learned them from books myself, and I will recite them to you."
After that, without waiting for Ye Chuqiu to agree, he started to memorize it again, shaking his head.
After reciting several poems in a row, Sihu's throat started to smoke and he hurried to the kitchen to drink water. Ye Chuqiu finally had time to look around the backyard.
The weeds in the backyard have been cleared away, only some woody plants remain, and they look full of life. The yard is also very clean, and the ditches have been cleaned. It seems that during her absence, the children were very happy.
With all your heart.
"Mother, mother~"
Just as she was planning to go to the side yard to take a look, at this time, voices calling her came from behind the house. It turned out that it was Lin Dahu and the others who were back.
"Dahu, Erhu, and Sanhu, you have done a good job." Ye Chuqiu looked at them and nodded slightly, "Especially Dahu, my mother has not been at home these days. You and your younger brothers and sisters have tidied up the house.
It’s done properly, and my mother is very satisfied.”
"Mom, I didn't do anything." After hearing Ye Chuqiu's praise, Lin Dahu felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"Er Hu, you are also great. You help your elder brother take care of the family. Mom saw your efforts." Ye Chuqiu praised Er Hu again.
Sanhu couldn't wait to ask: "Mom, what about me?"
"You." Ye Chuqiu glanced at him, "How many pieces of land have you cleared?"
"Mom, you are not at home. I am very worried about you. How can I be in the mood to open up wasteland? During this period of time, I am working with the eldest brother and the second brother." Sanhu said: "Look at this house, weeding, picking up tiles,...
I didn’t put in any less effort either.”
"I remember that someone disliked this house before. Do you still dislike it now?" Ye Chuqiu looked at Lin Sanhu with a smile.
"I don't mind it anymore." Lin Sanhu shook his head repeatedly. The yard is so big and the houses are many and spacious. It is much better than the mud houses in the countryside.
"That's good." Ye Chuqiu nodded, "Before, you said you were worried about mother, so you were not in the mood to open up wasteland. Now that mother is back, you can start clearing up wasteland."
Ye Chuqiu said with a smile: "You can just find a piece of land on our own mountain to open up wasteland. Once it is cleared, the land will be yours. If you plant anything by yourself in the future, my mother won't take it from you. This is a punishment."
, it’s actually a reward, think about it, your two brothers are helping the family, but you are helping yourself, isn’t that beautiful?”
"Mom, please stop fooling me. Big brother and second brother help the family work. You will definitely not let them suffer. I will open up wasteland myself. How much land can I open up? How much money can I make just by growing some crops?
.”
Lin Sanhu said in frustration, as Ye Chuqiu's joy at returning home disappeared without a trace, "Mom, you can't be prejudiced against your son just because he made a mistake. I still owe my family so much money."
Well, if I open up wasteland, when can I pay it back?"
"Don't worry, mother won't let you open up wasteland for the rest of your life. You need to open up two acres of land first, and then you can do the rest slowly." Ye Chuqiu said, she felt that Lin Sanhu's temperament still needed to be tempered, so let him go now
When he goes out to do business, he might cause some big trouble.
Besides, if you do something wrong, there is no punishment. There is no such easy thing in the world. She cannot send a bad signal to the children at home. Instead, she must use Lin Sanhu as an example to let them be careful in the future.
Be careful and don't make any mistakes.
"Mom, it's time to eat."
While they were chatting, Zhao Hehua had already sneaked into the kitchen and cooked a delicious meal. At this moment, she was passing by everyone carrying a tray, just in time to relieve Lin Sanhu.
"Okay, let's eat. Starting from this afternoon, you will clear up wasteland. When you finish two acres of land, we can talk about anything else." Ye Chuqiu said to Lin Sanhu and walked to the hall to eat.
In the past few days, she was afraid that someone would harm her again, so she always ate the food she stored in the dimension. Although the food she stored in the dimension was still hot when she took it out, for some reason, she always felt that it was not as delicious as the food she ate at home.
It's still like this, when the whole family sits together and enjoys a newly cooked meal, this is called delicious.
