"Li Dahai! Li Dahai!!"
Li Zhaodi looked at the departing figure with hatred on her face, Li Dahai, can you really do this!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved. I had been waiting for him at the village entrance since six days ago, waiting day and night, but in the end, what I waited for were two people.
It turned out that Li Dahai had already arrived in Yonghai County, but he did not go home, but went to a brothel. He even used the fifty taels of silver given by the military camp to redeem a brothel girl and brought her back, intending to marry her. What was I then! I was happily looking forward to his return, but he treated me like this!
Li Zhaodi hated and resented it!
Li Dahai! How can you be so worthy of me!
The villagers' chattering outside irritated Li Zhaodi.
Li Zhaodi, with bloodshot eyes, stood up without saying a word, picked up a basin of water and poured it out the door.
At first, no one knew what she was going to do. Seeing her carrying the water, everyone thought she was trying to start a fight again, so they all crowded into the yard to continue watching the excitement.
Only Mrs. Yang noticed something was wrong. It didn't seem like he was going to settle accounts with the two people in the room, but more like he was going to settle accounts with them.
Thinking of this, I rushed out and finally got out of the crowd. In an instant, the people who were still crowded there fled in all directions, cursing.
Xiaoguo grabbed Mrs. Yang in time, otherwise she would have been crushed by the crowd.
Mrs. Yang stood in a safe place, patting her chest, watching the crowd around her running around and shouting and cursing like headless flies. She couldn't help but be thankful that Xiaoguo held her back.
The two of them followed the crowd and walked home together, but they were the only ones who were clean. Xiao Guo took Mrs. Yang away from the others to avoid accidentally bumping into them.
The people who were enjoying the fun just now were splashed with slop and feces by Li Zhaodi. Fortunately, both of them dodged in time, otherwise they would have been like everyone else, wet and smelly.
Along the way, Mrs. Yang and Xiaoguo talked about the situation inside. After hearing it, Xiaoguo felt a little sorry for Li Zhaodi. It was really unfortunate that she met such a man.
"Ah, you can't be sympathetic to her. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person."
Mrs. Yang looked at Xiaoguo's expression and quickly reminded her.
Xiao Guo was speechless after hearing this. She was not a kind person. She rolled her eyes at Mrs. Yang in a playful manner and said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Mrs. Yang patted Xiaoguo's arm amusingly.
After the two separated, they each went back home. Looking at Sister Yang's expression before she left, I guessed that she was definitely going home to gossip with her family.
Xiaoguo laughed. Mrs. Yang was really a gossipy person.
When we got home, Zhuangzhuang had already sat up and was getting dressed. Seeing Xiaoguo, he quickly said aggrievedly, "Mom, where have you been~"
Looking at Zhuangzhuang's pouting little mouth, which was almost enough to hold a sausage, "Mom went to play with Sister Yang."
Xiaoguo sat on the bed and helped Zhuangzhuang put on his clothes.
Zhuangzhuang obediently raised his arms and let Xiaoguo put clothes on him. He enjoyed this kind of intimate behavior from his mother.
"I didn't see you when I looked at you~"
Zhuangzhuang actually had nothing else to do but just wanted to act coquettishly towards Xiaoguo.
Xiao Guo kissed him obediently, "I'm sorry, little baby, I won't do it again next time~"
Zhuangzhuang happily accepted Xiaoguo's kiss. He was speechless about Xiaoguo's assurance, because Xiaoguo always said next time, last time was also next time, and this time is also next time.
Xiaoguo gave Zhuangzhuang a flattering smile, and Zhuangzhuang then generously "forgave" her.
"Let's go and cook."
"Um!"
Zhuangzhuang nodded happily, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked to the kitchen holding Xiaoguo's hand.
At noon, Xiaoguo finally coaxed Zhuangzhuang to take a nap. I had read an article before that said children grow in their sleep. In order to help Zhuangzhuang grow taller, Xiaoguo never let him miss a nap.
Just as I covered Zhuangzhuang with the quilt, there was a knock on the door.
Xiaoguo hurried out, fearing that the barking of the puppy in the yard would wake up Zhuangzhuang who had finally fallen asleep.
"Who?"
Xiaoguo asked as he opened the door.
"Xiaoguo, it's me."
Mrs. Yang? Xiaoguo recognized the voice.
"Sister-in-law? What's wrong?"
"Xiao Guo, didn't you say you wanted to build a bathroom at home?"
Mrs. Yang was thinking about what Xiaoguo had told her some time ago, that she wanted to build a bathroom in the yard. At first she didn't know what it was, but after listening to Xiaoguo's explanation, she realized that it was a wooden house where one could take a bath.
"Yes!"
Xiaoguo said happily that she had told Sister Yang some time ago that she wanted Sister Yang to find out who in the village could build it, so that she wouldn't have to go to the county to find someone, and then she would have to provide food and lodging for the people who came. She was a widow, and although she didn't have much, people would still gossip if they saw it. So she could just find people in the village, and she would only have to give them money, and they could go home for food and lodging, wouldn't that be perfect.
"Well, my brother-in-law can do it. Do you think it's okay?"
Mrs. Yang was actually a little embarrassed about the feeling of self-recommendation.
"Your uncle?"
Xiaoguo was puzzled, Yang Jia?
"Yes!" Mrs. Yang was a little embarrassed at first, but it was fine later. She had already said it, and there was no need to argue about it. She did not lie. Yang Jia was an expert at setting up tents in the military camp.
"That's a good feeling!"
After hearing Mrs. Yang's explanation, Xiaoguo was delighted. That was great. She was worried about communicating with someone she didn't know well. But Yang Jiabi was from Mrs. Yang's family, so she wasn't unfamiliar with him. This saved her from having to deal with other people.
"Okay! I'll talk to Yang Jia right now!"
When Mrs. Yang heard this, she hurried home to tell the good news.
As soon as she got home, she saw Yang Jia holding a book, and Yang's wife quickly told him about it.
"Very good!"
Yang Jia put down the book and spoke excitedly.
Now that the men in the village have returned, even though they have received some compensation, they cannot just sit back and enjoy all the money, and they still have to find ways to make money.
Some people have returned to their old jobs before joining the army, and some people are left with nothing to do, and Yang Jia is one of them.
He is only 17 this year. He was preparing for the college entrance examination before he was arrested and sent to the army. But he was arrested before he could enter the college. More than three years have passed. Now he can't expect to be able to return home safely. This is already a great blessing, but he can't let his mother, brother and sister-in-law support him. But he can't do anything else except studying.
When he heard his sister-in-law mention building a cabin, he took the initiative without thinking, as he wanted to help the family as much as possible. He also believed in his craftsmanship. He had become very skilled in setting up tents in the military barracks and could do it with his eyes closed, let alone building a simple cabin.
