Chapter 158 That Thing Is Still There
Chapter 158 That Thing Is Still There
"Your uncle is right. What's the point of talking about compensation? Farm work is not busy right now. As long as Yueyue needs help from uncle and aunt, we will help."
After Qin's words, An Yue was moved. She quickly stood up and bowed to the village head and his wife, saying, "Since you two elders said so, I will trouble you two more in the future! Yue Yue will never forget your great kindness."
Qin placed the bowl on the table, picked up the teapot and poured tea for An Yue. After pouring the tea, Qin handed it to An Yue.
She continued softly, "Yueyue, there is no need for such polite words between us. You saved your aunt first, and we helped you later. Everything was arranged by Tianzuye."
An Yue picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea with her face covered.
After drinking, he gently placed the tea bowl on the eight-immortal table, looked up and continued: "Tomorrow morning, we will start the construction. Yueyue has to go to the An family's old house and find all the hoes, pots and bowls and other usable utensils in the old house and take them to the wasteland."
Qin said worriedly, "Yueyue, your An family's old house has been burned to ashes. It would be dangerous for you to go there alone!"
"Aunt, Yueyue feels that the construction of the wasteland will begin tomorrow, and we will have to cook in the wasteland in the future."
"That's fine! Auntie will accompany you to the old house later."
The three people in the main house are in harmony and peace, and they are not blood relatives but are better than blood relatives.
Pfft!
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door, like the sound of something collapsing.
The three of them quickly stood up from the round table and walked to the main door to take a look.
There was a person lying in the yard.
This person is Zhou from the An family.
When An Yue saw this, she was not surprised at all. After all, there was nothing she couldn't do.
The village head and his wife were somewhat shocked, watching her wriggling on the ground like a maggot.
Qin frowned and asked unhappily, "Why are you sneaking around here? You are already several dozen years old, and you are so embarrassed to be thrown into a corner. You really don't care about your dignity anymore."
Zhou said in a panic, feeling guilty: "Sister-in-law... I... I just wanted to come over and borrow a wooden basin from you."
Zhou was trying hard to stand up, but seeing that she was hugging her legs with both hands and her mouth twitching in pain, it seemed that she had fallen quite hard.
Seeing that she still couldn't get up, Qin asked with a mixture of worry and laughter: "I don't have any extra wooden basins, but... I see that you've fallen pretty hard, haven't you?"
Qin then asked, "Mrs. An, do you need us to come over and help?"
Zhou quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, that's not necessary!"
Zhou gritted her teeth, her eyebrows twisted into earthworms, and then she managed to stand up.
After standing up, he limped towards the east room.
When An Yue saw Zhou returning to the east room, she suddenly remembered that An Nian was still taking a nap. She felt a little worried, so she turned to the village head and his wife and said.
"Aunt, please find the sickle and hoe at home. Yueyue will go and wake up Nian Nian. We will set off soon."
Qin nodded to An Yue, and An Yue turned and walked towards the east room.
After An Yue entered the east room, she woke up An Nian, then put the sickle in the backpack, and carried the basket to Qin's main house.
Qin picked up the hoe, An Nian yawned and rubbed his eyes, and the three of them walked towards the An family's old house.
Grandmother Zhou was eavesdropping outside the main house door. Later, she limped back to the east room. As soon as the siblings walked out of the east room, she told everyone in the east room what she had overheard.
Zhou gently rubbed her bruised kneecap and said, "Just now they were talking in the main room about building a brick and tile house."
An Tiancai was a little surprised and asked, "What? Building a brick and tile house? Mom, did you hear it wrong?"
Zhou rolled her eyes at her son An Tiancai and said, "My eyesight is only not very good at the moment, but my ears are not deaf yet!"
Zhang was puzzled and asked, "Where did that damn girl get the money to build a brick and tile house? The money in our old house is gone, could it be... that she really took it away?"
Anqing and Meng Xiuer sat on the side. Anqing muttered quietly, "Mom, the little money we have together is not enough to build a blue brick and tile house!"
Zhou blew on her knee injury and lamented, "Alas! Now we can't even build a thatched hut, but that girl wants to build a brick and tile house. If the villagers knew about this, we would be so embarrassed!"
"Grandma, how about I go to the county town to find a job tomorrow?"
Zhang said quickly, "Qing'er, the village chief has given us a one-month temporary stay. Now you are the main labor force of this family. If you go to the county town, how long will it take for our house to be built? Do you really have to drag the whole family to live in a cave by then?"
After Zhang finished speaking, the family fell into silence.
An Yue and the other two came to the An family's old house.
The first thing that caught my eye was a dark ruin and debris. The beams and pillars of the house had all been burned down by the fire.
An Yue slowly put down the backpack and asked An Nian to sit at the gate of the old house and wait for them to come out, while she and Qin went in to look for useful items.
The two walked in step by step, first to the hall, then to the room, and finally to the kitchen.
A hoe was found in the hall, and oil, salt jars and jars for pork were found in the room.
The oil can was placed on the top shelf of the cabinet. After the cabinet was burned, the oil can was knocked to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The salt jar and the pork jar were placed at the bottom of the cabinet, and both jars are still intact today.
An Yue blew the ashes off the two jars. Qin and An Yue each held one and continued walking towards the kitchen.
The pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen had been burned, leaving only the iron pot.
After careful inspection, Anyue found that the iron pot on the stove was still intact.
Fortunately, I covered the pot before going out that day, so when the roof beams collapsed and the tiles fell, the pot lid was able to protect it and the iron pot was preserved.
Qin followed behind An Yue, searching everywhere, and seemed to have found another kitchen knife.
An Yue took a special look at that 'special' place and found that it had not been tampered with by anyone. She thought that the things her father had hidden were still in there, so An Yue felt relieved.
An Yue decided that as long as the foundation of the old house was not dug, the thing would remain sealed there.
Qin and An Yue moved everything they found out of the ruins one by one and put them all into the backpack.
Finally, they carried their backpacks and headed straight for the wasteland.
An Nian followed behind and asked in confusion: "Sister, where are we going with these things?"
"Let's go to the wasteland, dig an earthen stove first, and then clear the weeds in the wasteland."
The three of them came to the wasteland.
After putting down the backpack, An Yue walked around the wasteland and looked around. Finally, she decided to dig a small earthen stove at the place where she had fallen before.
