"Mother!"
On the roof, Qin Yao turned around and saw Sanlang and Si Niang running with sweat all over their foreheads, standing in the old house and looking up at her.
Qin Yao asked curiously: "Why are you two here?"
Sanlang: "Dad asked you to go home for dinner!"
Si Niang said, "Father asked us to come and see how the guest house is doing."
Sanlang looked at his sister in surprise. When did father say this?
Si Niang raised her chin proudly, she understood it!
The yard was full of villagers helping out, and with strength in numbers, all the weeds had been cleared away, and the ground had been hammered with a wooden hammer to make it smooth and firm.
Each room has been cleaned out, and now, except for the lack of furniture, it finally looks like a place where people can live.
With the help of the villagers, the roof has been covered with thatch, so at least there is no need to worry about the roof being blown away when it is windy at night.
If we hurry up, we can finish covering the entire roof before dark.
The only thing left is the collapsed courtyard wall. There is no way to make use of local materials for it, so just leave it empty for now.
Casualness is also a style.
Qin Yao handed the work in her hands to Liu Zhong and Old Man Liu who came to help from behind, and jumped directly from the roof without taking the stairs.
Mrs. Qiu handed her a bowl of water. Qin Yao took it, drank it in one gulp, wiped the sweat off her forehead, took the twins to a safe area outside the yard, and asked about the situation at home.
Si Niang answered truthfully and San Lang supplemented it. Soon Qin Yao grasped the current situation at home. She learned that Liu Ji had successfully called his teacher and senior brother, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
By the way, Gong Liangliao still needs someone to carry him around, so she will go to Liu Dafu’s house to borrow a wheelchair later.
For the next period of time, the old man will have to live in her house. It is impossible for him to have so many guards around him to carry him around, so a wheelchair is more convenient.
"Mother, are you done with your work?" Si Niang asked with concern.
Sanlang saw the beads of sweat on A Niang's cheeks, stretched out his little hand to gently wipe them off for her, and fanned her with his sleeves, fearing that she would get hot.
Qin Yao looked back at the house which was already in good shape and shook her head. "I still have to be busy for a while. You two wait for me. I'll tell you something and then we can go home."
The twins, boy and girl, responded obediently and stood in the open space waiting.
Qin Yao returned to the yard and called everyone over.
The house has been cleaned, and all that remains is to lay out a few wooden boards to make a bed. Plus, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Qin Yao feels embarrassed to keep anyone to help. She thanks the villagers who came to help and lets them go home first.
Soon, only Lao Zhai and others were left in the yard.
There is no need to be so polite to family members. Qin Yao said that she would ask Awang to bring food over later, and ask Old Man Liu, Liu Zhong and his son, and two sisters-in-law to help with the final cleanup.
Liu Zhong and his wife patted their chests and agreed, telling Qin Yao not to worry and go and accompany the guests first, and they would take care of things here.
Qin Yao had already learned from the twins that Qi Xianguan and his party had brought a complete set of luggage, including toiletries and bedding for the host family. She asked Qiu to go to the village and buy a few bedding from the villagers to make beds for the guards and servants, and there was no need to prepare anything else.
"Oh, and put a wash basin and a bucket and a water tank there, too. Remember to fill them with water in advance."
As Qin Yao gave instructions, the people in the old house took notes and made arrangements. Qin Yao then went to light a fire in the stove of the house and cleared the chimney before leaving.
"Wait!" There's one more thing!
Qin Yao signaled the twins to stay where they were and not move, as she would be back soon.
They ran all the way to Liu the peddler's house and took out all his candles, lamp oil, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots, pans, and other items.
There were too many things for Qin Yao to carry by herself, so she asked Liu the peddler to lend her a door panel. She piled all the goods on the door panel, lifted them up easily, and hurried back to the old house at the speed of light.
After a long while of preparation, he finally made some time to take the twins, who were waiting numbly on the roadside, to Liu Dafu's house to borrow a wheelchair.
It was said to be a loan, but in fact it was a gift. When Liu Dafu heard that it was for a noble person, he immediately took out the three wheelchairs in his home and let Qin Yao take them all.
"We don't need so many." Qin Yao was so tired that she couldn't even laugh. She chose one with a suitable height and returned the rest to Liu Dafu.
"Get in the car." Qin Yao motioned the twins to sit in the wheelchair.
The two little guys looked at each other in surprise, and were very excited. But in the end, they both waved their hands and refused to sit.
"Mother, let us help you push it, you take a rest." Si Niang opened her big black eyes and looked at Qin Yao obediently, which made people feel soft in their hearts.
No matter how tired Qin Yao was, she couldn't help but smile brightly. She patted everyone's head one by one, asked them to follow and to be careful. The three of them, mother and son, pushed the wheelchair back home together.
The aroma of food wafted through the yard. Awang had just served the last dish when the mother and her two sons came back just in time.
There were so many people that we divided the group into three tables.
There is one table in the main room and two tables in the yard.
Qin Yao carried the wheelchair into the yard. Liu Ji and others, who had already moved to the main room, looked over immediately.
"Auntie Yao!" Dalang ran over in surprise and helped carry the heavy wooden wheelchair into the main room.
Qin Yao put the wheelchair down, put one hand on her waist, and fanned herself with the other hand to cool down. She first looked at the two visitors in the room, then walked up to Gong Liangliao and bowed slightly.
"Sir and young master, you have come a long way and must have worked hard." Qin Yao said politely, bowed and stood up by herself.
Gong Liangliao had a sullen face, his eyes fixed on the rough teacup in his hand, without even looking at her. He gave a very reluctant "hmm" as a response.
Qin Yao, who already knew the other party's background and personality, was mentally prepared for this. She didn't take it to heart as long as the person stayed.
The village will also use his name to launch the first step in tourism development!
If you have taken advantage of others and received benefits from them, and still expect them to treat you well, then you are being a bit ungrateful and greedy.
Seeing Qin Yao's nonchalant look and her friendly and enthusiastic smile at him, Gong Liangliao secretly slammed his tea, feeling very uncomfortable.
Didn’t San’er say that his wife was very strong and domineering?
He also wanted to help him criticize him. After all, San'er was also his disciple now, so he would naturally protect him.
However, this reaction seems to be quite open-minded of him!
Teacher Liu Jichong squinted his eyes secretly. This woman is very cunning and her true face has not been revealed yet. Just wait and see.
You will suffer in the future. Liu Ji thought gloatingly in his heart that finally someone could suffer with him.
Qi Xianguan's reaction was completely opposite to Gong Liangliao's. When he saw Qin Yao, he immediately showed a warm smile, stood up, walked to Qin Yao, and thanked her again.
He turned around and ordered the guards in the courtyard: "Shi Tou, bring up the thank-you gift I prepared for Madam Qin!"
"There's a thank-you gift?" Liu Ji looked at Qi Xiangguan in surprise, "Why didn't Junior Brother take it out before?" Is it because he doesn't deserve it?
Qi Xianguan glanced at him and asked, "Do you, Liu Saner, have you no idea whether you are worthy or not?"
