"The child is young and his soul is not stable yet, so he is afraid of being frightened." Tiedan's mother next to Third Aunt also responded and subconsciously glanced out the window, obviously she was also worried about the child at home.
Yang Lihua said, "How about we take this afternoon and evening off? Money isn't earned in a day, and there's more to come. We can all go home and see the kids, get cleaned up, and then we can still come back to work tomorrow morning."
"Really?" The women with children at home were all surprised and looked up.
"I haven't seen my kid for three days!"
"Me too. I wonder if my mother-in-law has found some light clothes for the child."
"I want to go back and wash my hair and take a shower. I've only washed my face briefly these past few days and I'm starting to stink."
Everyone was talking at once, saying that they were indeed missing home, but everyone was busy making money, and they were reluctant to leave even though they missed home, as they always felt like they were being left behind and making less money.
If the workshop stops working and no one makes money, there will naturally be no need to worry.
Yang Lihua nodded and smiled, "If your family needs any expenses, you can withdraw some of your wages in advance. If you don't need them, you can wait until the end of the month to get them all, and then you can get a larger share."
"Save it! You must save it!" Tiedan's mother laughed and shouted, "As soon as you get the money you want to spend it and buy everything. It's better to keep it here. When the child's father comes back, we can put it together and build three thatched houses."
They live in a horse rack, which is not much better than a shack. They have been thinking about building a house for half their lives. Now she is working and the child's father has gone to the grassland with her. Seeing that their lives are prosperous, their wish is about to come true, and they are happier than anyone else.
Everyone laughed and responded.
"Yes, save it together and then collect the money."
"You can't withdraw it first, otherwise you'll have less than others and your family will think you're lazy!"
The women chattered as they got off the ground, put on their shoes, packed their things, and hurried home.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the backyard, Yang Lihua quickly closed the door and took Liu Dongniang, Chunhong and Erya to sell cashmere clothes.
Then a lot of baskets were added to the emptied warehouse, and after a simple cover, it looked full again.
Not to mention a few quick glances from the outside, even if you enter the house, you won't find any flaws unless you search around.
There were two piles of firewood outside the back wall. The old man suddenly felt annoyed and called a few men from the village to help him deal with them.
Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong also joined in the preparations, chatting and laughing from time to time, making it quite lively.
As we were busy as this, the sun was about to set and dusk once again took over the earth.
Smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household, and the women who rarely came home were showing off their cooking skills by making some delicious food for the elderly and children.
Respect the elderly, take care of children, and comfort your tired spirit and body.
Some families who love their daughters-in-law so much that they kill the hens that don't lay eggs. The aroma of the meat wafts far away, making the children next door drool secretly.
The Tai family also set up a dining table, with white rice porridge, scrambled eggs, and a plate of scallion pancakes.
Tai Jiye was not at home with his three nephews, and Yongning was also studying in the city. So when you counted the people in the family, there was only Zhuzhu, the precious one, and five adults.
But Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong were busy and not at the table, so there were only four people left, young and old. They also grabbed some extra sesame balls to keep the guests company, and only then was the atmosphere half as lively as usual.
Liu Dongniang was timid and her hands were shaking when she was serving the porridge.
The old man comforted her, "Don't be afraid. We have made arrangements at home. Nothing will happen. Just hide in the wing room with Zhuzhu. We will call you out later."
"If, I mean if, something goes wrong, you should rush into the city to find Yongning, ask the Wu family for protection, and wait for the third brother to come back. Got it?"
"I know, Dad."
Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang both responded in a low voice. Zhuzhu felt her grandfather's worry, so she picked up an egg and put it to her grandfather's mouth, cheering him on in a baby voice.
"Grandpa, eat well and beat up the bad guys!"
"Hey, good girl, Zhuzhu!" The old man ate the egg with a smile, rubbed his granddaughter's head and said, "Don't worry, grandpa will definitely beat the bad guy to death and make him unable to scare Zhuzhu again."
As they were talking like this, they finished their dinner, and half of the food was left over compared to usual.
Liu Dongniang quickly cleaned up the dishes, boiled water as usual, and took care of the family's washing and dressing.
Yang Lihua lit the oil lamps in the main room and the west room, and then extinguished them after burning for half an hour, creating the illusion that someone was resting.
In fact, she was holding Zhuzhu, and Liu Dongniang, Chunhong and Erya were hiding in the south room of the west wing.
Zhimaqiu was temporarily recruited by the master. In the dark night, he lay under the edge of the kang, his eyes bright and scary, and his ears standing straight up.
The old man was lying on the kang with his clothes on. His pipe was hidden somewhere, and there was a knife at the door.
The night is getting darker and darker, and the night insects are chirping happily, announcing that they have taken over this dark world.
The entire mountain village fell completely quiet. Occasionally, birds in the treetops chirped and talked in their sleep, then huddled under each other's wings and fell asleep happily.
In a blink of an eye, it was midnight.
The waning moon illuminated the Tai family yard inside and outside, with a rare clarity.
A dark shadow came out from nowhere, rested his head on the top of the back wall and waited for a long time. Perhaps because he heard no movement in the yard, he quietly crawled in.
The yard was still quiet, and there was no noise caused by the presence of one more person.
The figure moved around a bit, then gradually straightened his back and became less cautious.
