Yan Yu opened her eyes and saw the bright moon in the night sky with few stars. In her ears, she could hear the wind blowing, the leaves falling, and the gurgling water.
Because the donkey was pulling a pile of tall bamboos, the donkey was not very fast in the water, but rather stable.
Yan Laoer was muttering something in his mouth. There was almost no sound, only a few sounds came out inadvertently.
Yan Yu listened carefully for a while.
It's actually endorsing...
This shows how much pressure the upcoming school year puts on her father.
But this was a good thing, but she didn't believe it. She worked so hard and still couldn't get a name like a child.
"Dad, where are we?" Yan Yu asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Just after Gufeng, we are almost there."
Then she slept for a long time!
What?
After Gufeng?
"Why didn't you stop? Didn't you say you were going to tell your uncle?" Yan Yu asked in confusion.
"I thought about it and decided not to worry about your uncle. He has an errand that he has to do and he can't go home. It doesn't make any difference if you don't tell him. It's just a matter of letting him worry about you." Yan Laoer said.
"That's right." Yan Yu thinks it makes sense.
…
Li Xuemei looked at the iron arrow and looked at a pattern of the same size.
Ask the eldest nephew to send the picture to the next door.
Mrs. Qi came over once and talked to her for a while about the family named Kang.
She felt relieved when she learned that it was the old man's son who committed the crime.
It's not the real owner after all, so it's more reliable to use it.
The five arrow towers in the village have been completed one after another. Master Lu said it is best not to use them now and let them dry for a few days until the plaster is completely dry.
He circled the size and depth of the cellar under the arrow tower, and throughout the day, the villagers were digging.
In order to increase the load-bearing capacity of the cellar under the arrow tower, they used wood and cement bricks for reinforcement, and the effect was very good.
Correspondingly, the surplus of cement bricks is urgent.
It takes time to sift the soil, and it also takes time for the cement bricks to change from mud to brick shape.
Feeling something strange in her body, Li Xuemei followed the slightly bulging curve of her abdomen with her hands and stroked it gently.
As if sensing the mother's gentle caress, the baby in her belly fell asleep again.
It happened in an instant and ended quickly.
It was as if the fetal movement just now was just her illusion.
Counting the days, it should be more than five months to less than six months. Perhaps because she has been well nourished in the past few months, her belly seems to be blowing, from slightly bulging to suddenly bulging.
She was also worried about whether they were twins. After asking Grandma Rong, Grandma Rong gave her an affirmative answer.
no.
only one.
One would be fine, but if there were two, she would have to worry.
I tentatively asked Grandma Rong if she knew the gender of the child in her belly.
I didn't expect Grandma Rong to really know.
She thought about it again and again, but decided not to ask.
It doesn't matter if it's a son or a daughter.
Her father may feel happy to be a father, but Li Xuemei is different. She is really feeling the baby growing up in her belly little by little, and her feelings have already changed.
From acceptance to expectation.
Especially as she gets older and the fetus begins to move, she gradually develops a closeness that is connected by blood.
Grandma Rong entered the house and pointed in the direction of the river.
Li Xuemei reacted.
"They're back?"
Aunt Rong nodded and gestured something in front of her.
Li Xuemei hurriedly said: "Then go quickly and carry someone on your back."
Grandma Rong left Yan's house and walked to her own home.
After moving things up from the cellar, I didn't rush out. I waited for a while and when there was no one around, I hurried to the river, crossed the reed beach, and accurately found Yan's father hidden by the river.
female.
"Auntie Rong, put it here."
Yan Yu greeted in a low voice and showed the position reserved for the two anchors.
As Grandma Rong walked closer, her shoes and trouser legs inevitably got wet.
She didn't care, put the things away, looked at Yan Yu and smiled.
The raft sank twice and then floated with difficulty.
This shows the weight of these two anchors.
"Mother Rong, please go back quickly, we will be home in a moment." Yan Yu said.
Aunt Rong nodded and left quickly.
Yan Laoer held the wooden pole and pushed it hard...
Fortunately, there was a donkey down there to cooperate, otherwise he would never have been able to hold on.
From time to time, Village Chief Luo would send some of his grandchildren to the river to watch.
It was Sitie who discovered the two merged into one large raft.
"Uncle Yan is back! Uncle Yan is back!"
The child happily went back to report the news.
After Yan Laoer finally tied the ropes of the two rafts to the piles at the ferry.
The people who came to pick him up arrived.
Good guy, this is complete.
Looking carefully, almost all the men in the village were here, looking at the bamboos on the raft with joy.
There are those who are quick-thinking, such as Hu Da and Hu Er, who came in a carriage.
His eldest nephew also had a bright idea and drove a bullock cart.
"Pull the big rocks first and then divide them when we get back." Yan Laoer saw the eagerness of these people.
Everyone has no objections. First, you can wear the Yan family's ox cart outfit, and then the Hu family's. The rest will be divided, and the two of them will carry it one by one and leave.
Yan Laoer sat sideways on Sanbao's back.
Everyone could see how tired he was, and they didn't let him touch or do anything. If Yan Laoer hadn't insisted on climbing by himself, Qi Da would have lifted him up.
Yan Xiangheng was telling him about the Arrow Tower, and the people around him occasionally added something.
Yan Laoer quickly figured out the situation.
"I'll take care of the materials." He asked Yan Xiangheng, "How are you preparing to go to school in Huju?"
Yan Xiangheng: "Everything is packed, uncle, do you really want to go?"
Yan Laoer glared, with the majesty of an uncle: "If you don't go, it won't work. We have already agreed. The grace given by the eldest master will give our family one more place. If you don't go, it will appear that we don't know how to appreciate it."
In fact, my heart bleeds.
Mr. Tian, you are confused!
"Uncle, I'm worried about my family..."
"I'm worried too, alas! But life has to go on as usual. We can't just stop doing anything just because we're worried about this or that." Yan Laoer said again: "And this time we went there with a mission.
.”
Yan Xiangheng was confused, "What's the mission, uncle?"
"We have to behave well." Yan Laoer's expression was solemn and serious: "The materials promised to our village by the eldest master have not arrived yet. The arrow tower is completed, but the wall has not yet been erected. While it is not cold yet,
Build as many bricks as you can.
But now, it is the time when the autumn grain is put into the warehouse, and the government office is busy, so the eldest master may not be able to remember this, so we have to find an opportunity to remind him."
Since you want something, you must be a good student in order to be favored by the teacher.
Yan Laoer is determined to work harder.
He also knew that he was a poor student and was not as knowledgeable as his eldest nephew, but it didn't matter, he could find another way.
After his observation and careful consideration, he found that the eldest man seemed to like to eat, and there was no one around him to take good care of him, so he lived a relatively miserable life.
This has nothing to do with money or not.
You can live comfortably without money.
The main thing is to see if you use it carefully.
He, Yan Laoer, is not good at anything else, but when it comes to taking care of others, he does his best.
