Chapter 110 Unlucky Granny Bao
In Mrs. Bao's yard, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere. The two upper rooms and the two wing rooms were in ruins, and the roofs all collapsed.

There was a pile of quilts in the middle of the yard, like several quilts covered together, there was a bulge under the quilt, and there were intermittent cries for help.

"Ms. Bao?" Yang Mu called out tentatively.

The cries of pain stopped suddenly, and then the thick quilt squirmed, revealing a disheveled head for a while.

With gray hair, finely wrinkled skin, and terrified eyes, who else is it not Granny Bao?
Yang Mu hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Mrs. Bao was still in shock, and said aggrievedly: "I just helped a wall! They all collapsed!"

Yang Mu looked at the ruins in the yard in surprise, unbelievable.

"Ms. Bao, why don't you run out of the yard to ask for help?"

Mrs. Bao was confident, "What if the wall collapses when I run over?"

Yang Mu: "..." It's not impossible.

Mrs. Bao seems to be a difficult problem. Her hair can hang on a tree, she can be hit by bird droppings when she is in the shade, and her house can collapse even if she supports a wall.

Who can guarantee that when she passes by the courtyard wall, the courtyard wall will not give her a greeting gift and collapse itself? .

Mrs. Bao had a particularly sharp nose, smelling the aroma of pastries, she opened the box very consciously, and began to eat pastries.

Yang Mu looked at her eating appearance and asked, "When did this house collapse?"

Granny Bao had a pastry in her mouth and said vaguely, "This morning."

Yang Mu: "..."

Mrs. Bao explained: "I originally supported the wall of the wing room, and the two wing rooms collapsed together. Later, I was afraid that the quilt hanging in the yard would be dirty by the dust, so I took the quilt away."

She pointed to the rope used to dry the quilt. One end of the rope was connected to the courtyard wall, the other end fell crookedly on the ground, and the end was in the ruins of the upper room.

"The nail connecting the upper room was torn off when I put the quilt in, and then the upper room also collapsed."

"Then why are you hiding under the quilt?" Yang Mu didn't understand.

Mrs. Bao pointed to the broken bricks on the ground and said, "I'm afraid that it will collapse again and be crushed to death, so I hide under the quilt!"

Yang Mu was speechless. If it collapsed again and the bricks pressed the quilt, wouldn't Mrs. Bao be suffocated in the quilt?
Mrs. Bao finished two pieces of pastries, her mouth was a little dry, she looked at the well covered by the ruins, with longing on her face.

Yang Mu helped him up and said, "Let's go to Aunt Wang's house for a drink."

Granny Bao grabbed Yang Mu's arm and said nervously, "You want to hand me over to someone else?"

Yang Mu asked with a question mark, what does it mean to hand it over to others?Could it be that the two of them have become acquainted to the extent of their own people?
Thinking about how old Mrs. Bao really didn't talk to anyone except herself, and thinking about how she defended her in front of Li Zheng and the patriarch many times, Yang Mu tacitly accepted the identity of this "person of his own".

"Let's go to Aunt Wang's house for a drink first, and then you and I will live in the county town." Yang Mu explained.

Old Madam Bao felt relieved, and was about to walk towards the courtyard gate when she suddenly stopped and said, "I still have some property that needs to be picked up from the ruins."

Yang Mu asked her to stay where she was, and went into the ruins by herself, and found a small leather box at the location she specified.

Granny Bao happily hugged the small leather box, and under the cover of Yang Mu, she went out of the courtyard smoothly.

Mrs. Bao drank water at Aunt Wang's house, changed into clean clothes, then went to Lizheng's house and the patriarch's house, and told them about the collapse of her house, and asked them to take care of her. Go to live in the county first.

Then he asked Chen's father and son to repair the Yang family's ancestral house, and then come to rebuild her house.

Mr. Chen took the house deed and title deed that Mrs. Bao took out from the small leather box, and promised to restore it to its original state.

Mrs. Bao gave a deposit of 20 taels of silver, followed Yang Mu with a small leather case, and got into the donkey cart to the county seat.

Looking at the cleanly groomed old lady Bao, with her calm expression and meticulous hairstyle, it is difficult to connect with the old lady who was too scared to hide under the quilt before.

Along the way, the old man Niu hesitated to speak several times, and cast a resentful look at Yang Mu, as if to say, "You girl, why are you ruining my good deeds? Wouldn't it be good for you to live with me, Mrs. Bao?"

Faced with the accusation in the eyes of the old man Niu, Yang Mu just pretended not to see it.

This bad old man has been coveting Mrs. Bao for not a day or two, but he just failed to catch up.

Yang Mu took Granny Bao to buy clothes, bedding, pillows, and toiletries at a clothing store before returning to Peach Blossom Lane.

When Lin Xiao and others who lived in Taohua Lane learned that Mrs. Bao was going to stay temporarily, no one expressed their unwillingness to come.

Lin Xiao and Yang Mu tidied up a wing room in the backyard, and Yang Shitou ran around on his short legs "da da da", arranging the small wild flowers in the vegetable garden in the house.

Mrs. Bao couldn't hold back her curiosity, and asked, "What is Stone doing?"

Yang Shitou said in a milky voice, "In the house, it's fragrant!"

After hearing this heart-warming words, Mrs. Bao looked at Yang Shitou with gentle eyes.

Seeing the old lady Bao's appearance, Yang Mu decided not to tell the old lady about Yang Shitou also putting wild flowers in the nests of Qiuqiu and Hei Daya.

After settling down Mrs. Bao, Yang Mu went to Wanxiangfang, and told Zhou Dazhuang and his wife that Aunt Wang would come to the county in a while.

Since we are going to open a hot pot restaurant, the hot pot ingredients should be prepared early.

Yang Mu went out to buy a lot of spices and came back. Fortunately, there are peppers and rattan peppers in this world, which are the soul of hot pot!

After handing over the shop to Zhou Dazhuang and his wife, Yang Mu went back to Peach Blossom Lane and started making hot pot bottom ingredients.

Half an hour later, the entire Peach Blossom Alley became a hot pot alley, and the smell of hot pot wafted everywhere.

Dinner is naturally hot pot.

Because there is no mandarin duck pot, Yang Mu uses two pots, one for spicy soup and one for mushroom and chicken soup.

The spicy soup is actually not very spicy, so except for the child Yang Shitou, the rest of the adults can eat some.

Sliced ​​mutton and beef, washed all kinds of vegetables, spring bamboo shoots and sweet potatoes.

Peach Blossom Lane NO.16, everyone has become a cook tonight.

The sesame sauce was adjusted again and again, and the sesame oil and minced garlic was made again and again. Three catties of mutton and two catties of beef were all dazzled, and even the vegetables were eaten.

When the moon came out, the whole family sat neatly on small chairs in the backyard, rubbing their bellies to bask in the moon, and the sound of full belching was endless.

After a long time, Lin Xiao kicked Lu Shan's chair.

"Go wash the dishes."

Lu Shan fell asleep in a second and snored.

Lin Xiao shifted his target to Mu Chen.

Wood dust flew up in a second, and lay on the roof to bask in the moon.

Lin Xiao turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Bao.

Granny Bao turned her head and gave him the back of the head.

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Shitou again,

Yang Shitou sat on his exclusive small chair, squeezed Qiuqiu's fat palm with his left hand, and pinched Hei Daya's big ear with his right hand.At such a young age, he hugged him from left to right, and didn't even know that his brother-in-law was looking at him, and he didn't even respond with a look.

Lin Xiao, who was ignored by everyone, could only get up by himself, go to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, and wash the dishes and pots.

Listening to the sound of "Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang" in the kitchen, Yang Mu was half paralyzed on the chair comfortably.

Plain fireworks, this is life.

……

In a blink of an eye, the day when the reconstruction of the ancestral house was completed.

There is a custom in Dashun, when a new house is built, someone needs to live there for a few days, and it is more auspicious to praise its popularity.

On this day, Yang Mulinxiao and his wife brought Yang Shitou, Mrs. Bao, Lu Shan, Mu Chen, Qiuqiu and Hei Daya to move back together.

Seeing the same house and courtyard as before, Qiuqiu was so happy that he rolled on the ground, while Hei Daya was so excited that he ran around the yard without any sign of depression.

Yang Shitou inspected the vegetable field for the first time, found wild flowers, and got busy happily.Pick flowers, send them to a room, pick them again, send them to another room, pick them again...

After visiting around, Mrs. Bao chose a wing room in the backyard to live in, because old man Chen transplanted a peach tree at the door of that wing room, and it was the time when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, which made people feel happy.

According to the habit, Yang Mu and Lin Xiao lived in the east room and the west room respectively.

Lu Shan and Mu Chen still live in the front yard.

The kitchen was fully equipped with kitchen utensils. Father Chen, father and son, and the masons gathered in the ancestral house, and together with Yang Mu's family, they had a good meal.

Throughout the day, the ancestral house was filled with harmony and beauty.

……

Early the next morning, just after dawn, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Yang Mu, who was exercising, came out from the backyard and saw that Lu Shan was going to open the door. He was afraid that he would not know the villagers, so he went to open the door by himself.

Yang Mu didn't expect that it was Mrs. Zhao standing outside the door.
