Before long, Yu Chengyuan finished eating and put down his chopsticks.
Then he instructed, "Brother, don't tell Father and Mother about what I just told you."
He was afraid that if his father found out, he wouldn't be able to resist telling Yu Erzhu.
Yu Erzhu is also a weak-willed person, not a bad one, so it's best not to tell him about this.
If he finds out, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it.
Regardless of what happened, he was the one who kindly reminded them about splashing dog blood.
Therefore, he did not want to do anything wrong out of impulse.
"Okay, I understand."
Don't worry, it's best not to let your parents know about this.
I won't tell my third uncle either.
When are you planning to bring Su-lan and my little niece back?
Yu Pingan nodded and began to show concern for his younger brother.
"Not so fast!"
Su-lan had a cesarean section, so she must take good care of her body to avoid developing health problems later.
So let her stay at my in-laws' house!
Currently, the conditions over there are much better than here.
"Once she's recovered a bit, I'll bring her home, and then you'll be able to see your little niece."
When Yu Chengyuan talked about his wife and son, he couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, it's good that you have your own ideas. The conditions and environment of the old house are indeed a bit poor."
I'm afraid I won't be able to help with the move tomorrow; you'll have to help Mom and Dad.
Yu Pingan felt somewhat guilty, as his younger brother always shouldered the burden in crucial moments.
Even when such a big thing happened in the family, it was this younger brother who came up with the idea.
"Brother, there's no need to say that. You've sacrificed so much for the family, and you still haven't gotten married."
Now it's time for my younger brother to do his part for the family.
But don't worry, I'll definitely help you get married sooner.
Once you've made some money, at the end of the year, I'll have a matchmaker arrange a marriage for you, so your bed won't be so cold at night.
Yu Chengyuan knew what his elder brother was thinking, and said with a smile.
Yu Pingan blushed when he heard that he had gotten a wife.
"When did you learn to be a matchmaker?"
"Hahaha………
My older brother got shy; his face turned bright red, like he'd drunk two bottles of wine.
Yu Chengyuan burst into laughter.
"Chengyuan, when did you learn to tease people?"
"Can we move in tomorrow?"
Yu Ping'an put away his joking smile and asked seriously.
"Yes, the old house will be completely finished tomorrow, except for two doors that haven't been installed yet."
Tomorrow I'll go to the county town to buy two ready-made doors.
In addition, there aren't many things related to the division of property within the family.
You don't need to worry about moving tomorrow. The villagers who helped today will come to help again tomorrow, and the village chief and others will be there too.
Brother, I can't talk to you anymore, I need to go out for a bit.
Yu Chengyuan stood up and said.
"It's already dark, where are you going?"
Yu Pingan knew that her younger brother had also had a hard day.
Between repairing the old house and fighting with the third branch of the family, he hardly had any rest.
"I'll go check the ditch for snakehead fish and see if I can catch some eels to take to my parents-in-law's house tomorrow."
It was dark by then, probably around seven o'clock, which was just right.
Brother, you should get some rest.
"You want to catch snakehead fish?"
There are many snakehead fish in the canal near the dam.
There should be eels in the paddy fields.
You bring a net and a flashlight, but never mind, just wear my mining helmet, it has a miner's lamp on it, it's really bright.
Also, be careful, especially where you step.
There are still snakes at night during this season.
Yu Pingan gave him a series of instructions.
“I know, brother, you still nag me just like when we were kids.”
Yu Chengyuan smiled and went to the kitchen to get a net and a bucket, then put on his older brother's mining hat and went out.
Before leaving, I said goodbye to my parents, telling them the same thing: be careful and come back soon.
He didn't plan to look elsewhere on his own, but went straight to the place his brother had mentioned.
The miner's lamp is very bright and really useful; it illuminates everything clearly.
Along the way, passing by the ridges and roadsides of the fields, Yu Chengyuan caught more than a dozen eels.
About half an hour later, he arrived at his destination.
From afar, I could hear the clear, melodious sound of flowing water.
There wasn't a single person in the fields or country roads, but luckily he was a grown man and wasn't afraid.
He was all alone, and he could hear the sounds of frogs and insects from time to time.
The sound of water grew louder as it approached, and within minutes he reached the edge of the irrigation canal.
One side of the irrigation ditch is a muddy road, and the other side is a rice paddy.
The night breeze carries the fragrance of rice blossoms, and the rice seedlings are still a vibrant green.
Yu Chengyuan took a deep breath and felt a sense of refreshing comfort.
Let's get to work.
The canal is about a meter wide and about the same depth.
Under the light of the miner's lamp, the aquatic creatures were clearly visible.
The canal was filled with aquatic plants on both sides and some small stones in the middle.
There were also small fish swimming around, among which were some very beautiful fish with flat bodies and a bit of color, but he couldn't name them.
There were also small loaches that quickly darted into the nearby water plants.
There were also snails scattered around, some as big as a thumb, others as small as a little finger.
Then he spotted a long, thin, yellow leech.
Yu Chengyuan shuddered involuntarily as he looked at the thing; he was most afraid of soft, squishy things.
