I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 42 The eaves are leaking
Chen Tongsheng smiled and comforted, "Team Leader Yang is a good man, how can he hold a grudge against you? Don't worry."

Zhou Chenyu smiled with his eyes crooked, "Well, that's good."

Baoyu looked at his sister's appearance, sighed helplessly, and reminded: "Sister, it's getting late, we have to buy tiles as soon as possible."

"Tiles?" Chen Tongsheng wondered, "Why did you buy tiles? But yesterday's heavy rain broke through the tiles on the roof?"

Zhou Chenyu wanted to stop Baoyu from telling the truth, but it was too late.

Baoyu blurted out, "Yes, a lot of rainwater leaked into the house from the roof. Fortunately, it was sunny today, so I can barely survive the day. I'll replace it with new tiles as soon as possible, so I won't be afraid of wind or rain in the future."

Chen Tongsheng looked at Baoyu's body and laughed loudly: "You are an orphan and a widower. Baoyu, you are only a teenager. How can you do such work with such a small body? This kind of thing should be left to us men. Anyway, I There’s nothing to do tomorrow, so I’ll just come and help you sort out the leaks.”

"This?" Baoyu looked at her sister awkwardly, not knowing whether to respond or not.

Zhou Chenyu rolled his eyes and asked him teasingly, "Brother Chen, how do you know that our family is orphaned and widowed?"

Chen Tongsheng realized that he had slipped his words and hurriedly explained, "I also heard that your father left a few years ago, leaving you orphans and widowed. I am idle anyway, so I will help."

After speaking, seeing Zhou Chenyu's tensed expression, Chen Tongsheng became less and less confident the more he spoke, fearing he might be offended, "Chen Yu, I didn't mean to inquire about your business, I..."

Zhou Chenyu interrupted him and said with a smile, "Since Brother Chen said so, we have no choice but to be respectful and obey your orders. We will be waiting for you tomorrow."

Chen Tong never thought that things would go so smoothly, and his mood suddenly changed from disappointment and nervousness to joy, "Okay!"

After they parted ways with Chen Tongsheng, Baoyu said tangledly: "Sister, this brother Chen is here to help us find out the leaks. His intentions are so obvious, how can you agree to let him come to our house? If mother knew about it, how could it be okay? "

Zhou Chenyu scolded him, "Didn't you say that first?"

"I..." Baoyu couldn't argue.

Zhou Chenyu walked out of the market, his mood unexpectedly calm, "If we don't let him come this time, he will definitely find other opportunities. If the soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it. He will come as soon as he comes."

Baoyu was surprised, "Sister, this is a big deal! If people in the village know that your men are unmarried and your women are unmarried, there will be a lot of rumors. By then, you will be in big trouble."

Zhou Chenyu curled his lips, "These people are really idle, chewing their tongues all day long."

Outside the market, a vast expanse of yellow rice fields fell into view. Three or two farmers stood on the ridges of the fields, shoveling open the water blockages and draining all the water in the rice fields.

In the usually flat open space, a shed was set up to sell tea.

When farming is busy in summer, it is the time to be thirsty.

Others sell tea, can she also sell some...sugar water?
She is good at making sugar water!

Zhou Chenyu raised her eyebrows and regretted not noticing this when she went to the market in the morning, otherwise she would have bought some red beans and mung beans to make soup.

Baoyu looked at his sister's indifferent look and used a provocation: "Sister, could it be that you don't like Team Leader Yang and want to marry Brother Chen?"

"Who said I don't like it anymore?" Zhou Chenyu immediately became excited when he heard the words "Bandou Yang". Baoyu stared at his sister's startled look and suppressed a laugh.He patted the dust on his clothes in a leisurely manner and said indifferently: "I am really an emperor who is not in a hurry like an eunuch. Sister, you are not worried, so why should I be nervous? I look at Brother Chen, he is good. Mom knows, she will like it." "

Zhou Chenyu heard the last threat, put away the urge to hit, and said: "This woman marries the wrong person, and the rest of her life will be ruined. If you all force me to marry Brother Chen, I will. Anyway, we will live in the future. If I am not happy, I will go out and find a man outside."

"Hong...Hongxing is cheating on you?" Baoyu thought he heard wrongly, "Sister, you can't do anything wrong!"

Zhou Chenyu raised his hair and began to talk more and more nonsense, "When I, Hongxing, come out of the wall, it will be better. At most, I will be scolded for being a licentious person, and I will almost end up in a pig cage."

Baoyu's eyes widened when he heard this, shocked and scared. He kept looking around, for fear that others would hear what he said, "Sister, please stop talking. How can a mere man be as important as his own life? I still have everything to do with it."

Zhou Chenyu said he didn't feel anything, but he was amused by his appearance.

She pinched his arm and suppressed her laughter, "Okay, don't be so surprised. Although I don't like Brother Chen, he is so kind, so I will handle it. You stand by my side tomorrow and give me Just cooperate."

When Baoyu saw his sister's heartless smile, she knew she had fallen into the trap again.

"No help!" He snorted, patted the place where he had just been pinched, quickened his pace, and moved further away from the woman.

After returning home, Zhou Chenyu wanted to spend the night in peace, so he asked Baoyu to tell Li Xiuju about Chen Tongsheng coming to help after dawn the next day.

Li Xiuju was angry at Baoyu for the first time, "Baoyu, how can you be so ridiculous? It's such an important thing for a distinguished guest to come to your door!"

Zhou Chenyu saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, "It's just that we are talking about such an important matter now. What if we neglect the guests?"

"I...!" Baoyu looked at her sister who was staying away from the incident, gritted her teeth tightly, and swallowed the pain in her stomach, "Mom, I forgot..."

"A scrambled egg with leeks, and a stir-fried beans." Li Xiuju thought about the two dishes randomly, but felt they were not enough. She was so anxious that she said, "How can we do it with just vegetables but no meat? We must kill another chicken! This makes sense!"

Domestic chickens have been raised for a long time and are in small numbers. They are usually only eaten during festivals or used to entertain guests from afar.

As expected, Li Xiuju's brows were beaming with joy, as if her prospective son-in-law came to visit and she couldn't wait to bring out all the good things in the house to entertain the guests.

Zhou Chenyu followed her words and said, "Old lady, a man only eats meat, how can he do without wine?"

The bamboo strips that had been braided yesterday at home had not yet been cleaned up. Li Xiuju looked at the mess and picked up a broom to clean it, "It's only summer, it's not the time to make wine, and it's the middle of the year. How can there be any wine left in the village?" "

"Leave it to me!" Zhou Chenyu patted his chest and said with a smile: "The distinguished guests are here. I will go to the market myself and buy some rice wine for Brother Chen."

personally?

Li Xiuju raised her head in surprise. It was rare to see Zhou Chenyu take the initiative, and she immediately smiled and said: "Okay! Then you have to be careful alone, leave early and come back early. By the way, wine alone is not enough, you also need some fried peanuts." Chen Fish, you buy another pound of peanuts.”

"no problem!"

Zhou Chenyu winked at Baoyu, acted like a shopkeeper, and ran out the door alone before Chen Tongsheng arrived.
