take a wife to support the family

Chapter 51 Xiaobie wins the newlyweds

With ladders and straw, it is not enough to mend the roof.

Then dig out pure loess and river mud, add wheat straw, pour water on it, and stir it vigorously with a shovel.After all, the strength of the two women was limited, and they hadn't stirred evenly after a long time. La Mei thought about it, and stepped on the mud as soon as she took off her shoes.

Lily couldn't see her wrongly, the girl was already stepping on the mud, and it was too late to stop, so she could only say, "Be careful, don't cut off your feet."

The best way to mix grass and mud is to step on the wheat straw into the mud with your feet, which is even and fine. But Lily thought that she is not a man. Although there are calluses on the soles of her feet, they are not so hard to scratch. If a nail pierced the sole of the foot, it would be troublesome. She would rather go to the trouble of stirring it with a shovel.

Unexpectedly, the girl couldn't help but get on her feet first, so she could only sigh and stand aside to watch.

In two quarters of an hour, Lamei had already stepped on the mud, scraped the soles of her feet, and went to the well to wash her feet.Lily carried the shoes and socks to her: "This is not allowed in the future, what should I do if I get hurt?"

Lamei smiled embarrassedly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Country girls are not so delicate, sometimes they don’t even have to wear shoes, they run around barefoot on the ground, with thick calluses on the soles of their feet, frostbite in winter, their feet are swollen like puffed buns, and they are just wrapped in a layer of cloth thing.

The two sisters moved the ladder to the wall near the kitchen and put it on it. Lamei shoveled half a bucket of mud into the wooden barrel. Seeing that Lily had climbed up tremblingly, she hurriedly shouted: "Sister, be careful!"

Lily pursed her lips and did not answer, she was actually very nervous.It should be said that she did not rarely see tall buildings in her previous life, and she walked along the Huashan plank road with her classmates, but at that time there were either guardrails or protective equipment. Although the roof is not high now, it has no protection at all. You can go to a hospital.

Besides, Lily was also very doubtful about the strength of the rafters and wooden boards under her feet, fearing that the roof would collapse if she stood on it.

She concentrated all her attention on her feet, held on to the ladder leaning against the wall with one hand, and stretched out her feet to test it several times before she dared to take the first step.

She was careful with every step she took, and had to test for a long time, for fear of falling through the gap and hurting herself.

Lamei looked down until her eyes were sore, and then she heard her elder sister say: "Okay, throw the rope up."

A hemp rope was tied to the wooden barrel containing grass and mud, and Lamei swung the rope several times before she could swing it up to the roof. Lily held the rope in her hands and began to lift the wooden barrel up.

At first, Lamei was handed down from the bottom, but she lifted it up with ease.When the wooden barrel was raised to a position higher than Lamei, Lamei couldn't use her strength. Lily suddenly felt her hands sinking, so she quickly stood firm and lifted the wooden barrel up to the wall with all her strength.

First find the place where the rain is leaking, and peel off the straw on the top to see that the grass mixed with mud below has been dissolved by the rain to form a big hole.Lily took out the rotten and blackened straw, threw it aside casually, grabbed a handful of mud and pasted it on the hole.

She plastered several layers tightly and smoothed out the surrounding area. She estimated that it was almost the same, and took a handful of straw and stuffed it on top of the mud before it was completely dry.

There is actually a secret to using thatch to make a roof. Straw must be flocked layer by layer, just like making a feather duster, so that it is separated into layers, so that the rainwater that falls on it can roll off layer by layer.

Lily's hand skills are unfamiliar, but she loves to ponder and can learn. After finishing it, she looks not much different from her surroundings. She thinks it will not be a problem to survive a few more rains.

Lying on the roof for a long while, Lily straightened her back and wiped her sweat, took a long breath, and was about to change places, when she suddenly heard Lamei shout nervously: "Sister! Heizi!"

Lily was startled, and quickly looked around. Lamei was opening her arms, blocking a tall figure: "Who are you? Who are you looking for? If you don't say anything, I'll let the dog bite you!"

Song Haonian was also very confused. He went out for several months, and when he came back, he went straight home. It was the time when he couldn't think about his wife. He didn't expect to see a daughter-in-law when he entered the door. The girl who asked him who he was!
He will be interrogated when he returns to his own home!

As soon as Lily saw that figure, she couldn't stop smiling: "San Niu, that's your brother-in-law!"

Lamei was startled, this unshaven man who didn't look like a nice guy was her brother-in-law?

In fact, Sanniu and Song Haonian only met once, that is, on the day of Baicheng's marriage. At that time, Sanniu just kept her head down and was afraid of others, so she didn't remember what her brother-in-law looked like.

In the past, Sanniu heard people say that Song Haonian was fierce and not a good person. After following Lily for a long time, she changed her opinion of her brother-in-law. Bad guy?

Song Haonian did not expect that his daughter-in-law would be able to go to the room after not seeing her for a few months. He was stunned for a while, and then showed a big smile: "Lily, I'm back!"

Now San Niu believed that this man was really her brother-in-law, she was so frightened that she quickly stopped Hei Zi and Hei Hu, and backed away repeatedly.Heizi recognized Song Haonian, went up to lick his hand, but Heihu was still dazed, barking.

"Heihu, don't bark!" Lily shouted to stop Heihu, and was about to come down the ladder.

Her slender body was walking on the roof, as if she would be blown down by the wind at any moment, the two people below looked terrified, Lamei didn't dare to speak, Song Haonian had already strode up: "Slow down! Don't move!"

As soon as he shouted, Lily didn't dare to move anymore, seeing Song Haonian quickly climbed the ladder to the roof, and stretched out his hand to Lily after standing still: "Come slowly, slow down."

Lily hesitated, her hands were still covered in mud.

Song Haonian smiled again: "Give me your hand, and you come over slowly."

Without hesitation, he held Lily's muddy hand and led her back.Even through a layer of mud-shell lilies, he could feel the temperature of his hands, stable and warm.

Song Haonian took Lily to the side of the ladder, climbed down for a while, and then supported Lily to go down.When Lily came to the middle, he had already descended to the ground and opened his hands to Lily.

Lily is also from a farming family, and she is no stranger to climbing trees and ladders, but Song Haonian treats her like a three-year-old child, carefully guarding her.

She pursed her lips and said to Song Haonian: "I jumped, you can take it."

Song Haonian nodded vigorously.

The next moment his wife jumped off the ladder and threw herself into his arms.Even if Song Haonian was prepared, he took a small step back when he was hit, thinking, his daughter-in-law seems to have gained weight...

Lily just came down, and Song Haonian quickly climbed up the ladder before he could stand still, and asked, "Where is the leak?"

"Hey, you just came back, and you don't take a break?" How can someone be busy working as soon as they get home.

Song Haonian smiled naively: "It happens to be a rest after busy work."

In fact, he felt a little sad. House repairs should have been done by men in the first place.He went out for several months, leaving his wife alone at home, and he didn't know how she survived the rain...

He couldn't wait to use his actions to compensate Lily and make up for the regret that he was not at home in the past few months.

Seeing that he persisted, Lily pointed out to him from below, which part had leaked from the rain, and which part had a little water seepage... Song Haonian followed her instructions, pasted mud and thatched grass, and his efficiency was much higher than when she was working La.

Song Haonian rushed back all the way, full of wind and dust, Lily was also covered with sweat and dust, but both of them had bright eyes and smiles on their faces, obviously one was working on the house and the other was directing underground, their eyes always looked like Inseparable together.

Lamei huddled in a corner of the yard and said nothing, Heizi squatted next to her, and Heihu played while biting her pant leg. Both the dog and the person felt that the atmosphere between the young couple was a bit thick, as if no one could get in. .

After mending the roof, Song Haonian carried the mud bucket, stepped over half of the ladder in one step, jumped down in the second step, walked up to Lily, and looked at her with a silly smile.

Lily blushed when he saw her, and when she saw the girl looking at her in a blink of an eye, she was even more ashamed, and pushed Song Haonian: "I just came back and got muddy all over, go wash it!"

Because of the mud, the faces of several people were not very clean, Lily first sent wintersweet to wash their faces, then washed themselves, and changed a basin of water to Song Haonian: "You can wash well."

The water is lukewarm water, Song Haonian buried his face in the water which has been exposed to wind, sun and rain for several months, his face felt warm, his pores all opened up, and he could not help spit out a few bubbles comfortably in the water basin .

He was washing his face, and Lily was taking out the dirty clothes from the bundle he had brought back, and asked again: "Is it just you who are back, or is everyone back?"

The last time the eldest girl was critically ill, Song Haonian hurried back and came back alone.This time the brothers went out to do business, I don't know what happened.

Song Haonian raised his head, wiped his face with a cloth towel, and said: "Everyone is back, I made some money this time, and life will be much easier in the future."

Lily sneered, Song Haonian stared at her in a daze.Lily touched her face, "What's the matter?"

She simply suspected that she still couldn't meet people because of her appearance, which made Song Haonian show such a strange expression.But Song Haonian smiled and showed his white teeth: "Daughter-in-law, you look better!"

Lily hadn't dared to take a good look at her own shadow for several months. She didn't know that she looked like a completely different person now compared to when she first crossed over.

The originally sallow, black and thin skin gradually turned white, and with blood, the facial features inherited from Zhu Shi appeared delicate.His hair used to be as dry and disheveled as dry grass in winter, but now it has become black and smooth, and it is tied into a smooth bun at the back of his head, with a peach branch inserted.

She has grown a lot taller. She was two heads shorter than him before, but now she is only a head shorter.The frighteningly shriveled figure has also changed. During the action, the clean and appropriate cloth clothes are attached to the body, outlining the curve of the waist...

"Gu." Song Haonian swallowed, feeling a little hot.

Lily is not a girl like Da Niu who doesn't understand anything, seeing his fiery eyes clearly, is there anything she doesn't understand?

She immediately blushed and said angrily, "You man, what are you thinking in broad daylight!"

"I miss my daughter-in-law, it's only right and proper!" Song Haonian said with a cheeky smile.
