After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Chapter 78 Why is she afraid of me?

Hearing this, Zhou Shitang pulled his head out of the bowl with a confused look on his face. He tried to recall the experience and results of his acquaintance with the aunt, and finally shook his head, "I didn't do anything to her."

"I just talked a lot and tricked her into agreeing to exchange eggs with me for medicinal materials. It made my mouth dry."

"I'm not a savage beast. I'm so cute and well-behaved. Why is she afraid of me?"

Others were ashamed when they heard Zhou Shitang's shameless boast.

Zhou Shimu chuckled lightly: "Maybe it was because you were too sharp-tongued at the beginning, so she exchanged words with you in a daze. Now that she has woken up, she may regret that she exchanged words with you, and then she was afraid of meeting you or that you would continue to fool her."

Zhou Shiruo nodded in agreement, "It's possible. I told my aunt that I will use the money to buy eggs in the future. She is very happy."

Zhou Shitang hugged his bowl tightly, "After the exchange is completed, there will be no returns."

"I think my second brother's guess was right. Later I met the aunt again. She didn't agree with me exchanging the medicinal materials with her, so I had to buy them with money."

……

The family ate and chatted, and time passed quickly.

After finishing eating and putting away the dishes, the sun had already set.

The family looked at the neatly piled mud blocks over there.

Zhou Shitang was the first to speak, "Let's continue working. In order to prevent the mud from getting wet with dew, we should move all the mud back into the house."

This is a relatively huge project, but for the sake of the house, they can only move it honestly.

Zhou Yancheng was afraid of crushing these lumps of mud, so he carefully lifted one piece and found it to be quite strong, so he added another piece.

Finally, he walked toward the house holding two pieces of mud.

Zhou Shitang took a piece of clay and entered the house. When she walked out and saw her father taking so many pieces of clay, her eyelids suddenly jumped. She had a bad feeling and quickly said, "Dad——"

She hadn't finished her words to stop him.

Zhou Yancheng was knocked down by something unknown, and he suddenly jumped forward. All the mud in his hand fell and hit the ground. He couldn't help but scream.

Zhou Shitang's eyes narrowed, and he stepped over, reaching out to pull Zhou Yancheng, but he was still a step too slow.

Others heard the noise and turned around, and then saw Zhou Yancheng falling to the ground.

The undried mud collapsed instantly when it hit the ground.

One by one was stunned.

Zhou Yancheng lay on the ground, his handsome face instantly twisted in pain, and his chin hit the damaged piece of mud.

The place was full of mud, so he was all dirty.

It was Zhou Shitang who reacted first, ran over and pulled Zhou Yancheng up, and asked with concern: "Dad, you didn't break anything, did you? Is your leg broken?"

Don't be like the third brother who was so injured that he could only lie in bed moldy and unable to do any work.

Zhou Yancheng slowly stood up with Zhou Shitang's support and shook his head, "I'm fine, I just feel a little pain all over my body, but I can still walk."

When Shi Qingxiao heard this, she knew that he was fine. She couldn't help but spit fire with her eyes and roared: "Zhou Yancheng, look at how many things you have destroyed in the house?"

"If you can't move so much, can't you move less?" Shi Qingxiao was about to be pissed to death.

She worked diligently for this family, but this guy Zhou Yancheng kept sabotaging her.

Either the barrel would be broken, or the ax would be broken, and the mud would be broken again. Not to mention the fact that he almost burned down the kitchen when he was asked to boil water.She got angry just thinking about it.

Zhou Shiye was lying in the room in a daze. When he heard the huge noise coming from outside, he thought something big had happened. The next moment, he heard his mother's angry roar.

He could probably guess what happened without asking.

They were moving the mud, and combined with the father's scream and the mother's words, it must have been his father who fell to the ground and broke the mud.

Zhou Yancheng touched his nose and gave each of his children a look, telling them what to do.

Zhou Shitang, Zhou Shiruo and Zhou Shimu looked away. Following their father's lessons, they did not dare to move too much and walked very carefully to avoid falling.

Zhou Shitang allowed himself to think differently, and instantly he no longer felt tired of moving the mud blocks. "Brother, sister, moving the mud blocks can exercise your arm strength, and walking back and forth can also exercise your body. What a good thing."

Zhou Shiruo was a little tired, but when he heard this, he agreed very much, "Tangtang is right. I feel that I have gained a lot of strength recently, and I can walk a long way."

Zhou Shimu hummed.

Zhou Shiruo: "Second brother, why don't you make a carrying pole, which is a long stick used to carry water, put it on your shoulder, and put a wooden bucket on the side. It would be so easy."

Zhou Shimu nodded, "I'll try it tomorrow."

As long as it's not too complicated, he can still make it.

Zhou Yancheng saw that his children did not pay attention to him. He took small steps and came to Shi Qingxiao, "I didn't mean it. I won't do it next time."

Shi Qingxiao: "..."

I believe in your evil!

She had heard this sentence many times, and she would believe it the first and second time, but then, haha, she didn't believe it anymore.

Shi Qingxiao took a deep breath, forced herself not to be angry or waste time, and turned around, "Stop talking nonsense and move the mud quickly. Don't be too impatient. Move slowly and pay attention to your steps when walking. Don't fall."

Zhou Yancheng nodded and walked over to move the mud.

This time he didn't dare to be greedy, so he carefully picked up a piece of mud and walked to the house. He didn't dare to walk too fast, so he walked to the house step by step and put down the piece of mud.

He turned to look at Ye Chigua last week and said in a cold voice: "Are you running out of things to do? Are you just sitting here in a daze? Think about how to improve the environment at home and how to eat and drink well."

Zhou Shiye curled his lips secretly and did not dare to refute. After all, what his father said was true. He snorted, "I will think about it carefully. Just wait for the day when I shine."

Zhou Yancheng walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

In these two rooms, in addition to a bed, there is a table at the same level as the bed, a simple wardrobe, and some space, enough to put down the pile of mud.

There is still a pile of unfinished mud blocks outside, but even if all the mud blocks are finished, they can still be filled in the house.

Zhou Shitang took out the wooden mold, reshaped the few clay blocks that his father had broken, and then moved them back to the house.

When the whole family acts together, the efficiency is high.

After moving all the mud, they were sweating from exhaustion.

Shi Qingxiao exhaled: "Everyone, wipe yourself with water and go to sleep."

Zhou Shitang looked at his mother's face, which had almost no traces of time, and found that her mother's temperament was also very prominent. Then he remembered something, "Mom, from now on, you should keep your temperament away and make your face a little dirty, so as not to encounter To some bad guy."
