Later, when Chen Ye was able to hunt for money, he asked Ershuang and others to bring some western medicine to Eryatou. However, no matter what, he could not repay this favor.

The second girl giggled foolishly. When she was little and saw Ye Zi for the first time, she thought the child was pretty. She wished she was her sister. Her own sister was so dark and not very attractive at all.

At that time, the family was also in financial difficulty and had no extra food to give to others. She saved some from her own rations to give to Ye Zi. Just for this little thing, Ye Zi helped her so much later.

My grandparents and younger brother are all in poor health and get sick from time to time. Western medicine is hard to buy and our family doesn't have that much money to buy medicine. Ye Zi has sent medicine to their family several times, but they still keep asking for it.

She refused to accept the money Ye Zi gave her. She was stupid and didn't know how to thank Ye Zi for helping her family.

My grandparents and mother all said that Ye Zi was a good child who knew how to be grateful, and that the Chen family was not lucky enough to have such a good child. They wanted to treat Ye Zi well.

She didn't know how to treat Ye Zi well, so she could only help Ye Zi with some work, or bring her some vegetables or something.

Chen Ye was also convinced. How could this second girl be so honest? If she got married like this in the future, it would be better if her in-laws were kind. If she met someone who was unreasonable, she would suffer a lot.

The second girl blushed and quickly interrupted: "Let's hurry up and dig the back as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, have you prepared the wood supporting the cellar?"

After the vegetable cellar is dug here, some wooden boards and thick tree trunks are put inside to provide support to prevent the cellar from collapsing and hitting people.

"It's ready. I've prepared several. Let's dig a bigger one and make it stronger." Then we can build a smaller secret room.

She also realized that it would be unlikely if she didn't let the second girl come to help her with the work, so she would give the second girl more meat to eat.

"So, are you planning to dig a well? You can definitely dig a well in your yard, but it's too expensive."

The groundwater resources here are quite abundant, and many families estimate that they can dig wells, but few are willing to spend the money.

"I really have this plan, but I don't know if I can dig the well myself." She has already built a new house which is eye-catching enough, so spending money to dig a well would only make people talk about her.

If she hadn't decided to build a mud house and only built two rooms, the villagers might have been very dissatisfied.

The second girl also shook her head: "I have seen other people digging wells, but I can't learn that job just by watching," otherwise every family could do this job by themselves.

"I've only seen it once. We'll talk about it later."

She can first ask the one-eyed grandfather if he understands this. If he does, she can do it herself under his instructions. Then she won't do it like the one-eyed grandfather's house. She will just build a pressurized well, which is much more convenient and safer.

The well in Chen Shengli's house is the oldest type of wheel well. It always feels unsafe because the well mouth is open all day long. It is also troublesome to draw water every time, and people without strength cannot draw it at all.

"Okay, call me when the time comes, and I'll help you dig."

She was unable to help when Ye Zi's grandparents passed away. Her mother fell ill at that time, and her grandparents became anxious and sick as well. She had no time to spare to visit Ye Zi.

Because of this, she was embarrassed to get close to Ye Zi for a long time, for fear that Ye Zi would dislike her and disappear when something happened.

Fortunately, Ye Zi is not the same as her. She will come to help Ye Zi with work more often in the future. Ye Zi will live alone in the future, and there will be a lot of work to do.

The two little girls worked just as hard as the grown men. By the time they had lunch in the afternoon, they had dug to a depth of nearly three meters. If they dug a little deeper, there would only be space for expansion.

Chen Shengli stretched his head and glanced down: "You two girls are really capable. Are you hungry? Come back with me to eat."

One-Eye also squatted beside the pit and looked inside: "Ye Zi, when you come up, give me a handful of soil."

Chen Ye agreed, grabbed a handful of freshly dug soil, climbed up the ladder, and showed the soil in his hand to the one-eyed grandfather when he reached the top.

The one-eyed man took it, waved it in his hand and examined it carefully: "You know what, the second girl is really good at this. The leaves can be dug a little deeper. There is definitely no water source underneath."

Even if you dig four or five meters deep, you don't have to worry about the vegetable cellar leaking. Not even a stone was dug out next to the mountain wall. This is really a good place to dig a natural cellar.

The second girl smiled so hard that her white teeth were exposed when she was praised, and she felt relieved. If she was wrong, most of the day's efforts would be wasted. She would be fine, but could Ye Zi's small body bear it?

Chen Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's great, can I build a bigger vegetable cellar?" The vegetable cellars of every household here are not big, because there is no need. Who has the space to store so many things?

"Of course not. If you want a bigger one, you need to dig deeper and put in a couple more pillars. I'll build you a sturdy roof when I get back."

"Hehe, that's great. I'll have to trouble One-Eyed Grandpa with the roof."

Chen Shengli called out to a few people: "Why are you talking so much? Hurry up and go eat. Is there anything you can't say while eating?"

Several people hurried to Chen Shengli's house across the street. Chen Ye and Erya went to the well to wash. How could they eat without washing off the mud on their bodies?

When she saw a large pot of potatoes stewed with chicken on the table, the second girl swallowed her saliva quietly. Oh my god, it looks so delicious and greasy.

Chen Ye directly picked up several pieces of chicken and put them in the bowl of Eryatou. She was much better than Eryatou and was not as greedy for meat as before.

"Eat quickly, don't be polite. This is made by Shuanzhu. The boy's craftsmanship is pretty good." It was obvious at first glance that this was not the craftsmanship of the one-eyed grandfather. The one-eyed grandfather didn't have that skill.

The second girl was still a little embarrassed, but as soon as she put a mouthful of chicken in her mouth, she forgot all about being embarrassed and started to eat it in no time. She was really hungry after working for most of the day.

Seeing the second girl eating freely, Chen Ye felt relieved. He was afraid that she would be embarrassed to eat. Chen Ye also put a piece of chicken in her mouth: "It's delicious. It's okay to tie it up. Your cooking skills are better than mine."

Shuanzhu received praise from her sister and laughed so hard that her eyes were invisible: "Then you should eat more, sister. This is the old hen from One-Eyed Grandpa's house. I stewed it for a long time and it's mushy."

Chen Ye knew that this was not the chicken from her grandfather's house. When she came in just now, she saw that there were quite a few chickens in the yard. It was even less likely to be a pheasant, because pheasants don't have so much meat.
