A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 44 Almost Burned

After hearing the news, the villagers who worked there all praised: "Jian Jia is really a good girl who is understanding, gentle and virtuous."

Meng Yan chopped the ax on the stake, turned her head to look over, smiled and squinted her eyes, with a friendly face, and said, "My dear sister, let me tell you earlier, I thought you came to chat with my husband-in-law." .”

Meng Jianjia's expression was very unnatural, and she couldn't turn around and leave at this time, so she came over and said stiffly, "I, I'll wash the rice."

Meng Yan followed her eyes to look at the rice soaked in water in the basin, and said with a smile: "The rice in that basin is heavy, my sister is not strong enough, if you accidentally knock it over, what will everyone eat?"

Meng Jianjia was slightly taken aback as if her mind had been exposed.

Meng Yan gave her the seat, let her sit in front of the stove, and said, "Why don't you come and light the fire."

Meng Jianjia usually coaxes Meng Xuxu to do such things as much as possible at home, while she washes rice and vegetables by herself.As the weather gets hotter, sitting in front of the stove is not so pleasant.

You'll be sweating in no time.

Meng Jianjia bit her lip, but had no choice but to sit down.

The stove was built temporarily, and the firewood was not fully burned inside, and black smoke came out. After a while, Meng Jianjia was choked and coughed repeatedly, and black ash was stained on her fair face.

While washing the rice and putting it in the pot, Xia said with a friendly smile, "It's really hard for Jian Jia. I never thought you would come to help."

I think she rarely does this kind of work in her own family, but now she is making a fool of herself in Meng Yan's house. If she were Meng Xuxu, she would have caused troubles, but Meng Jianjia only said: "It's okay, I can help you, I will help you." Also very happy."

It is difficult to hide two points of grievance between words and expressions.This is not happy, it is clearly pitiful.

Later, Xia and Meng Yan went to wash and cut vegetables, and Meng Jianjia hurriedly stuffed firewood into the stove.

This temporary cooking place is next to the new house, and there is a pile of flammable hay next to the wooden house, which is used to light the fire.

Both Meng Yan and Xia didn't pay attention, at first there was a wisp of smoke from the pile of withered grass, and then gradually a cluster of small flames ignited.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger. If it is not stopped, it will definitely burn the newly built wooden house.

Because the stove happened to block Yin Heng's line of sight, Yin Heng didn't notice it at first.Then he reacted earlier than Meng Yan and Xia Shi, and said: "Ah Nan, be careful!"

When Yin Heng said this, Meng Yan happened to notice it too. Looking back, she saw that the withered grass had turned into a pile of fire, and the flames were licking the corner of the wooden house. She immediately scattered the vegetables in her hand, turned around and ran a few steps over , and kicked away the burning pile of dry grass with a few kicks.

At that time, Meng Jianjia was sitting in front of the stove, and the burning dry grass suddenly flew towards her. Meng Jianjia screamed and shook off the small flames on her body.

As a result, the best-looking dress she specially wore when she went out today inevitably burned out several holes.

Meng Jianjia's eyes were red, she stared at Meng Yan in shock and anger, and said, "How could you do this!"

I don't want Meng Yan's face to be calm, but the eyes that meet him are black and white, deep and cold.

Meng Yan said: "How can it burn if it's good?"

Meng Jianjia instantly became innocent and pitiful again, with tears in her eyes, she said, "I... I don't know... Meng Yan, what do you mean by looking at me like this..."

Meng Yan raised her lips and smiled, and said directly: "What do you mean?"

Meng Jianjia's face turned pale, and she said, "You, don't you suspect that I set the fire on purpose?" She began to cry to herself, "I came to help out of kindness, why should I be wronged... I really didn't have one, maybe it was the stove just now. The fire inside was too big, some sparks burst out and landed in the haystack, I didn't pay attention..."

Meng Yan said: "Sister, don't panic, I didn't say it was you, right? It seems it was all a misunderstanding. Alas, I also kicked the haystack towards you in a panic, or my house would burn down It’s gone. Who made this spark fall into the haystack by coincidence, sister, as long as you’re fine.”

Meng Yan sighed again: "It's just your skirt, I remember that you would only wear this beautiful skirt on festivals and leisure days in the past, how can you go out to pick vegetables in the field today and wear it so beautiful? "

Meng Jianjia bit her lip, she was so ashamed and angry that she didn't know what to say.

She didn't expect that Meng Yan was not afraid of fire, and could kick a pile of fire away with bare feet, and he kicked it at her.

If it weren't for her foot, the newly completed house of Meng Yan's family might be on fire.

At this moment, Meng Jianjia is disheveled, how can she have a bright face to face Yin Heng.

Meng Yan also kindly suggested: "Your skirt is torn, why don't I mend it for you, but there may be patches left."

Meng Jianjia almost collapsed, but she still tried her best to maintain a gentle attitude and said, "No need."

She had been out all morning, and Mrs. Ye didn't see her coming back, so she went out to look for someone. At this time, she called Meng Jianjia outside.

Meng Jianjia said, "My mother called me, so I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, Meng Jianjia ran out of the courtyard in despair with a basket on her shoulders.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Ye didn't ask why, Meng Jianjia cried aggrievedly.

Ye thought she was being bullied, so she went to Meng Jianjia to reason, but the villagers testified that Meng Jianjia came to help on her own initiative, and said that if she wanted to help wash the rice, she would also help to light the fire, and even her second aunt called her. So affectionate.

When Ye Shi heard the words, she was furious. Meng Jianjia had never been so diligent when she was in her own home, but she went to someone else's home to show her courtesy.

On the way back, Mrs. Ye scolded angrily: "It's shameful for you to turn your elbows out!"

Meng Jianjia always knew how to appease Mrs. Ye's anger, so she told her about the fact that Meng Yan's new house almost burned down, and Mrs. Ye felt sorry for her daughter again.

···
After Yin Heng was bound and fixed for a few days, Yue Moo eased up, and Meng Yan had to work on his other leg.

It was night, after Mrs. Xia fell asleep, Meng Yan pushed Yin Heng into the courtyard again, a weak lamp next to her was flickering on and off, and the small hammer next to her was shining black and shining.

Yin Heng looked at Meng Yan, seeing that her eyes were also dark and shining, she was a little speechless.

She is probably very keen on this matter... I guess.

The bone of the treated leg has returned to its proper position and is recovering day by day.Compared with this leg, the pain of the other untreated one is more severe.

As soon as Meng Yan touched it with his hand, a sharp pain hit like a tide, as if the bones inside had been sharpened and pierced into the flesh.

Yin Heng held the chair handle with both hands and remained silent.

Without exception, Meng Yan felt that the femur bones of this leg were not grown properly, and had to be broken to start over.

Holding a small hammer in her hand, Meng Yan said to him: "Heng, the wind is really cool tonight."

Yin Heng: "Yes."
