Chapter 10 I like his wood



After performing thirty consecutive chest compressions and then artificial respiration, Su Man was exhausted after two cycles, but she still refused to give up.

The people around who were watching the excitement came to their senses and started talking.

"What's the point? Are you crazy about having a baby? Why are you kissing a dead child? Don't you think it's unlucky?"

"He looks so young, but he's actually a lunatic. Tsk, what a pity."

"Baozhu's father, the child is gone. Stop torturing her with that crazy woman. Hurry and take her home to bury her..."

"Cough, cough cough..."

Before he could finish his words, Baozhu lying on the ground suddenly coughed up two mouthfuls of water.

She opened her eyes and saw Chen Geng beside her, and burst into tears.

"Dad, Dad, I was so scared, I thought I was going to die..."

Chen Geng's eyes suddenly turned red as a man, and he rushed over and hugged Baozhu in his arms.

He raised his hand to slap her twice, but he raised his hand, which was as big as a palm fan, and then gently put it down.

"Girl, I told you not to play near the water, but you didn't listen. Now you're scared?"

Seeing this scene, the crowd that was chattering just now fell silent.

Unexpectedly, he was saved.

Su Man looked at the father and daughter hugging each other and crying, then she breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"The child is fine. Go home and take a hot bath. Make some ginger soup. Don't catch a cold..."

She squeezed out of the crowd, picked up the things on the ground and continued walking back.

Halfway through the journey, I happened to meet Wang Daneng who was returning to the village and took a ride with him.

When I got home, I saw a few more pieces of wood in the drying yard outside the house.

Tang Guifen was peeling tree bark with a hatchet. Next to her, an unfamiliar middle-aged woman was talking to her.

Seeing Su Man coming back, he hurried forward.

"Nier, why are you wet?"

"Hurry up and change your clothes, wash your hands and come eat."

Su Man looked down and saw that it must have been wet when she was giving the little girl artificial respiration.

"Okay."

She put the things in her hands into the kitchen, poured the white rice into the rice jar, and put the white flour into the cupboard.

After finishing, he went into the house, got some dry clothes, and changed into them in Tang Guifen's room.

When Tang Guifen saw her come out, she brought the hot food in the pot to the table.

Fish soup noodles, the fish soup is the leftover from last night. The smooth and chewy noodles are wrapped in the fresh and thick fish soup. One bite will warm your whole body.

There is also a dish of mixed toon buds. The toon buds today have just emerged and are at their tenderest.

Blanch the fish, add some salt and pepper, and two drops of sesame oil, and it will be fragrant and crispy.

Su Man ate so happily that she only regretted that she didn't have two mouths because she couldn't eat it all. She slapped her head after she finished eating.

"Look at my memory, grandma, I bought you some meat buns, eat them quickly."

The bun was still warm, and she stuffed it into Tang Guifen's mouth without saying a word.

Lin Ye was taking a nap, and the remaining buns were kept warm in the pot until he woke up.

After dinner, Su Man began to feel sleepy. She moved a chair and sat against the wall, basking in the warm sunshine and feeling drowsy.

A breeze blew by, and she smelled a faint scent of wood. She looked up, feeling a little curious.

"Grandma, what are these for? They smell so good!"

Tang Guifen smiled and said, "This is camphor wood. Lin Ye said he would make a bed for you. Don't be fooled by his fierce appearance, he is actually very considerate. Don't be afraid of him."

The smell of camphor made Su Man unable to open her eyes. Before falling asleep, she was still thinking that she felt Lin Ye was not fierce at all and was quite easy to get along with.

Afraid of him? That's out of the question.

Well, I know you feel sorry for your wife and make the bed for her, so I’ll give you five points!

——————

The camphor wood was almost dry after two days of drying.

Early in the morning of the third day, Wang Daneng brought the carpenter to his door.

"Auntie, are you home?"

Tang Guifen was making breakfast. When she heard the noise, she wiped her hands and hurried out of the kitchen.

"His uncle is here? Come on, come in and sit down."

Wang Daneng brought the carpenter into the house and said, "Auntie, this is Carpenter Liang. He does all the carpentry work for several villages. He's very skilled. Tell him what you want to do."

"I have something else to do, I'm leaving first!"

"Okay, please sit down."

Tang Guifen hurriedly moved a chair for Carpenter Liang to sit on.

After Carpenter Liang sat down, he slowly rolled a cigarette and took a leisurely puff.

"Auntie, you should all be aware of the market conditions. You provide the materials, and ten yuan a day provides a meal. How long I take to finish the work is up to me, so please don't rush me."

Nowadays, carpenters and other craftsmen are very valuable, and people have to pay them to do work.

Before Carpenter Liang finished smoking his cigarette, Tang Guifen's breakfast was already ready.

As Su Man entered the door, she smelled a fragrant aroma.

"Hey, grandma, do you want chicken noodle soup for breakfast?"

The day before yesterday, my grandma made chicken stewed with wild mushrooms for the chicken I brought back from the Su family last time. It was fragrant and delicious.

I used the leftover half from yesterday to make soup. After I finished eating the chicken, the remaining part was just enough to make noodles.

The chicken soup was sweet and fresh, and the noodles were chewy. Su Man ate every drop of soup.

Carpenter Liang came over after breakfast. When he smelled the smell, he couldn't resist and ate a bowl as well.

After eating, he started working outside, moving wood.

When the villagers heard the noise, they all came over to watch the fun.

There is a trick to watching the fun. The carpenter works for the owner, but he has endless wood!

When the carpenter is in a good mood, he can use the scraps to make a small stool or a hoe handle, which can be used at home.

So usually at this time, it’s a competition of who has the thickest skin.

Li Youcai's wife Wang Juhua squeezed to the front, her rat eyes rolling around looking at the wood beside her.
