It was already late when we found the child. After going home and eating something, we were all very tired and sleepy.
After Mrs. Ye finished talking to her four sons, she said, "You're all very tired today. Go back to bed and we can deal with the furniture tomorrow."
"Okay, don't worry, Mom. You can go to bed early."
Ye Lao Da led his three younger brothers out of the main room and asked, "Third brother, how is the waterwheel being repaired?"
"I studied it with Uncle Dongkui today, and it's indeed a bit difficult. It needs to fit in accurately with the original parts of the waterwheel.
"The waterwheel is too big, and the village chief doesn't agree to us removing that part..."
"What should we do?" Ye Lao Si asked anxiously, "Third brother, I think the village chief is deliberately making things difficult for us!"
"I figured I could just make a rough outline first, then I'd climb up and polish it by hand, and that should get it pretty close."
Thinking of the tall waterwheel by the river, Boss Ye said a little worriedly: "When are you going to climb the waterwheel? Let your family know in advance so we can go and help you.
"The waterwheel is so high, if it falls it's no joke."
"Okay." Ye Lao San didn't bother to be polite with his brothers and agreed immediately.
Then the four brothers went back to their rooms.
As soon as Boss Ye entered the room, he heard Sister Ye hissing at him from the kang.
He looked over and found that Qingtian had fallen asleep.
The puppy picked up from the mountains also followed Boss Ye in. As soon as he entered the house, he ran straight to the edge of the kang, closest to Qingtian, and curled up into a ball and lay down.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye chuckled and said, "This kid is quite sensible. He doesn't even make a fuss about getting on the kang."
Boss Ye originally wanted to throw it away, but gave up after hearing what his wife said.
As long as you are honest and willing to stay in the house, let it be.
"Is it a wolf or a dog?"
"It's probably a hybrid of a wolf and a dog." Boss Ye muttered as he took off his clothes, "I've heard from old hunters before that sometimes wolves and village dogs mate.
"This cub looks like it's just been weaned. I guess the mother wolf didn't want to let it stay in the pack and wanted to send it to a place near the village. But she happened to meet a few children entering the mountains..."
This can barely explain why the wolves did not harm the children.
However, Mrs. Ye obviously did not think so. She felt that the reason why the children were able to return safely was definitely due to the sunny day.
She leaned over and kissed Qingtian's rosy little face as she slept, tucked her in, and then asked Boss Ye to blow out the oil lamp.
The puppy lying on the ground groaned, shook its hind legs, turned over, changed its posture, and fell asleep.
In Ye Laosi's room in the west wing, Guo was still excitedly pulling him aside to ask him all sorts of questions.
"Tell me quickly, what furniture have you bought?"
"I bought a kangqin, a kang table, and a set of high and low cabinets." Ye Laosi said while gesturing, "I measured the dimensions, and they will fit perfectly here."
"What does a kangqin look like?" Mrs. Guo had a good rest at home for the whole day and did not go up the mountain to look for the child. She was now very energetic.
Ye Laosi was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes.
He responded casually: "The kangqin is just like that, what else can it be like? Haven't you seen a kangqin?
"Stop talking now, I'm so sleepy. Go to bed now. You'll know tomorrow morning when we unload all the furniture from the car."
"You are such a jerk!" Guo scolded, but the good mood of having the furniture outweighed everything else.
She thought about it happily for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly reached out to push Ye Lao Si and asked, "Where's the remaining money?
Ye Lao Si was just about to fall asleep when she pushed him awake. He mumbled, "What money is left? Two taels of silver wasn't enough. In the end, it was my eldest brother who lent me half a tael of silver so I could buy the furniture I wanted."
After he finished speaking, he turned over and before Mrs. Guo could ask any more questions, he started snoring evenly. It seemed that he was really tired.
When Mrs. Guo heard that not only was there no money left, but she even owed half a dozen coins, she immediately became upset and couldn't sleep all night listening to Ye Laosi's snoring.
The next day, just as the sky was getting light outside, Guo got up first and greeted Ye Laosi who was sleeping soundly.
"Get up quickly, unload the truck, and let me see the furniture."
Mrs. Guo was upset all night yesterday, thinking that if the furniture she saw today was not to her liking, she would definitely not acknowledge the debt of half a pound.
Ye Laosi rubbed his eyes, looked up and out the window, but it was still dark outside!
"Sleep a little longer, my brothers and sisters-in-law must not be awake yet!"
However, Mrs. Guo refused and insisted on going out immediately to unload the truck and look at the furniture.
Ye Laosi had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes, and walked out while yawning.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I saw Boss Ye and Sister Ye already in the yard. They were carefully untying the hemp ropes that tied the furniture in the car.
"Brother, why are you here so early?" Ye Laosi hurried forward to help.
Mrs. Ye gestured to speak more quietly and said, "Didn't mother ask me to make some food for the folks who helped us find our child last night? So I have to go to the city to buy some food.
"Your eldest brother said that we should unload the furniture as soon as possible so that Mom can see if there is anything missing. It will be convenient for us to bring it back together."
"Big brother is really thoughtful." Ye Laosi also rolled up his sleeves and started to help.
Although the three of them tried to move as quietly as possible, they still made some noise.
Soon, Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San also brought their wives and joined the ranks of unloading the truck.
All kinds of furniture were soon placed everywhere, almost filling up the front yard.
