chapter 68

Little Gu Ye was burying his head in picking up the rice in the bowl. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Xie Sining with sparkling eyes, and asked.

"Mother, don't our family have to hire a helper?"

Previously, his classmate's little friend couldn't work because they hired someone at home. Since Uncle Zhao came to help with the cooking, the food at home has been good. On weekdays, he would secretly take some to share with his little friends.

Although Gu Ye didn't go to school these days, he also made some friends during the school days. When Xie Sining was not at home, he would go out to play with them, but before going out, he would tell Gu Ci that Xie Sining only went with permission. Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, he didn't understand what he was doing so happily at first, but then he understood, and he couldn't help but curved his lips and smiled.

"Yeah, to hire a helper, our fence has to be torn down and replaced with a mud wall."

Gu Ye's eyes became brighter, and he was no longer interested in the delicious food he had been eating, so he focused on listening to Xie Sining with his chin on his pillow.

"Then our house has a wall? It's like the one in the school. Xie Sining nodded.

Gu Ci was originally sitting quietly beside him, listening to their mother's speech with a smile on his face, but for some reason, his eyes dimmed a little when he heard this.

Gu Ye cheered, then carefully glanced at Xie Sining.

Then he even said: "Then I will help mother with work!"

Hearing these words, Xie Sining picked up the chopsticks and put the vegetables in his bowl again, and glanced at him, the eyes were self-evident.

Gu Ye understood, and dejectedly ate the food that Xie Sining had brought to her just now.

Seeing the aggrieved look, Xie Sining couldn't help but chuckled softly, and said comfortingly: "Good boy, mother will naturally hire someone to do these things, you should study hard with your father, don't be naughty."

Gu Ye was a little frustrated, but nodded obediently.

Seeing that he was still not very interested, Xie Sining thought for a while, "Don't you like eating chicken cakes the most?"

Gu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"If you hire a helper..." Her voice picked up a little, and with Xie Sining's voice picking up, Gu Ye's heart also lifted, and he couldn't help raising his eyes to look at her.

Seeing Xie Sining looking at him with a smile on his face, he realized that he had been fooled, and his little face couldn't help turning red.

Seeing that his face was flushed, Xie Sining smiled slightly, and stopped teasing him: "Please let your helper let Uncle Zhao make you cakes every day these days, okay?"

Her voice was doting, little Gu Ye nodded heavily, and the mother and son looked at each other and smiled.

After finishing the meal, Xie Sining asked Gu Ci to clean up the bowl, and walked out by himself.

Walking in the village, I was thinking about who would repair the roof and walls. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. My eyes suddenly lit up when my eyes fell on one place. I walked forward a few steps, and I could ask my fat aunt.

Come to the door of the fat aunt's house and tell the matter to the fat aunt.

The fat aunt was very happy when she heard that Xie Sining wanted to repair the yard, she slapped her thigh and said, "You are the right person to ask! My natal brother does this, I will ask tomorrow."

Xie Sining's family wanted to repair the yard, and she was happier than her own family, not to mention that the fertilizer and water would not flow into outsiders' fields, and she was relieved of her brothers.

Xie Sining smiled and nodded, "Then there will be Aunt Lao Fatty."

Aunt Fat smiled and narrowed her eyes, and sent people out.

Early the next morning, the fat aunt rushed back to her natal village. As soon as she told her about the matter, several brothers in the family quickly followed her to the village.

Just after dawn, Xie Sining opened the door and saw the fat aunt standing in front of the door beaming, and introduced to her: "This is my natal brother!"

While speaking, he raised his hand to introduce Xie Sining.

Following the direction of the fat aunt, I saw two simple and honest smiling faces.

"Just call me the boss and the second." The harvest has not been good these years, and everyone in the village is living a tight life. How can there be any spare money to repair the house? It is rare to have a job, so naturally excited and grateful. I don't know where to put my hands and feet.

Seeing that they were as simple and enthusiastic as Aunt Fat, Xie Sining couldn't help but smile, "Uncle Fang, Second Uncle Fang, don't be nervous, I have to help you these days."

Then he led them into the yard.

After hearing what she said, Second Fang looked at the thin and sparse fence in the courtyard, exchanged glances with his brother, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Big girl, the fence in your yard is actually still usable. Even if it feels loose, it won't cost you much to buy a new fence."

Boss Fang nodded and said, "That's right, why spend that old nose's money to build a mud wall."

In their eyes, the wall is enough to prevent animals from coming in. It doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not, and it’s all a village.

After listening to what they said, Xie Sining knew that they were out of good intentions to help him save money, so he nodded with a smile, and then explained.

"Actually, it's nothing. The main reason is that the fence in the yard has become somewhat loose over the years. Instead of spending money to build a fence, we thought it would be better to spend more money to build a mud wall."

Gu Ci also came out of the room at this time, and Xie Sining stood by and listened silently.

"That's the truth! Rebuild a fence and it will collapse within a few years. It's better to add more money and build an earthen wall that can last for decades!"

The fat aunt put her hips on her hips, her face was full of pride and pride, and she chimed in with confidence, deeply appreciating Xie Sining's words.

The two brothers looked at each other, thinking about it, it was indeed the reason, but repairing the mud wall is not cheap, some worried about Xie Sining, but still hesitated.

Xie Sining looked a little helpless, and exchanged a look with Fat Aunt.

Brother and sister for so many years, the fat aunt knew what they were thinking when they looked like this, and said, "You don't have to think so much, just fix it at Xie girl's house with peace of mind!"

She made a final decision, and no matter how much hesitation the two of them had, they could only nod and agree.

Xie Sining saw that they had finally discussed it, and then spoke again: "The two elder brothers of the Fang family also have a roof of the stove house over there. I want to replace it with tiles."

She led them over to look.

"Big sister, I didn't say that you really don't need to use tiles for your roof."

As soon as Boss Fang heard what she said, the farmer, who lived frugally all his life, frowned, and began to persuade, his voice was full of disapproval.

For them, the juniors their girls like are the same as their juniors. The juniors in the family have no experience and want to waste money, so they must persuade them.

Xie Sining took a look at the stove, and scratched his head because of the thin thatch that was mildewed, and insisted, "Use tiles."

A group of people was in a stalemate for a while.

"Our family is no bigger than other families in the village. If we use thatched grass, we can repair it twice a year, and it will be done quickly. I am not in good health. For a family of three, thatched grass is really inconvenient. I worry about it every day. When will it collapse, it is better to use the tiles for decades to get rid of it once and for all.”
