When he really started to build the house, Qin Huai found that the difficulty was beyond his imagination. The grass had to be chopped with a scythe and water had to be fetched from the pond. His house was far from the water source, so he had to carry the water back one load at a time.
Physical work is torture for a weak person. One trip is more than 700 meters. People in this era are not human beings, but just cattle and horses.
They had lived two lifetimes and had never suffered such hardship. They wanted to give up halfway through their work, but since they could not go back, they could only improve their lives bit by bit. If they did not do anything, the weather would soon be cold, and the heavy snow in winter might crush the whole house. Then they would be homeless and it would be even more pitiful.
The thirteen-year-old girl turned pale when she saw her brother coming back. She sensibly stopped him from going to pick it himself. Qin Huai touched her head and said, "You are still growing, let me go." As he spoke, his body was already shaky.
The girl burst into tears and turned around to continue cutting grass and mixing mud.
While they were working, an old man came over and said, "Why did you start working without telling me?" It was Qin Dashu's father, Qin Hansheng. The old man didn't say anything. He just came over, took the shovel from the girl and started helping.
"Grandpa, please work slower." From Qin Huai's memory, they were able to survive because of the old man's care.
Old Man Qin said, "Don't worry about it. Just go and fetch some water."
Having raised two sons, the old man in his sixties still lives in the cowshed of the production team. Even at his age, he still has to do it every day.
Sixty years old in this era is completely different from sixty years old a few decades later. Sixty years old in this era is really old. Years of hard work have already crushed the body, but in the countryside, you have to work day by day and cannot be idle for a single day.
Qin Huai was returning from fetching water when he met two women eating melon seeds. They stopped him and said, "Cripple, please stop. I want to ask you something."
He said indifferently, "What do you want to ask?"
The person who spoke was Qin Huai's second aunt Wu Huixiang. In the original owner's memory, this second aunt was very mean to them and the old man, and the two families were the most unfamiliar relatives.
"You stole grass from the production team, and no one cared about you?"
"No, the captain said, just talk."
Wu Huixiang immediately packed up the melon seeds and said, "Really, I want to go and pick some too. We have no firewood at home." Both women hurried home.
Qin Huai shook his head and carried more than thirty loads of water in a row before he could barely carry enough. Old Man Qin and the maid took the mold and dug the mud to remove the mold. Qin Huai put down the bucket and took the shovel from the maid and started to remove the mold.
The old man looked up in surprise and praised: "You work very well."
Qin Huai smiled and said, "Grandpa, thank you for coming to help."
"What nonsense is this kid talking about? I'm your grandfather, what are you thanking me for?"
Experienced people came to help, and the two of them were able to remove the dough faster. The girl came over with a large bowl and said, "Master, drink some water first. I just boiled it."
The old man looked at them and suddenly sighed and said, "Oh, poor children."
Qin Huai understood what he meant: "Grandpa, we are not pitiful. I will make sure that my sister and you have enough to eat in the future."
"I'm old now, so I'll just die. But you guys should live well. Qin Huai, you have to take good care of your sister in the future."
Old Man Qin is the only person who has been kind to Qin Huai since his rebirth.
As the father and son were working, Qin Fengying, whom they had met before, came over again, greeted the old man and said, "Uncle, you are working."
The old man ignored her, so she looked at Qin Huai again and continued, "Qin Huai, come here and I want to talk to you."
The old man threw the tool in his hand heavily to the ground and said: "You are older than Qin Huai by more than a year, and you are an elder. What do you want to say to him? Tell me if you have anything to say."
Qin Fengying's face suddenly turned red.
Even the girl turned her head and glared at him fiercely.
Qin Huai stood up and said, "Grandpa, you two take a break first. I'll go talk to her."
Seeing his calm demeanor, Qin Fengying also smiled happily. Qin Huai said, "Come sit at home."
Qin Fengying didn't expect him to say these words. When she looked at the old man and the maid, their eyes seemed to be murderous. However, Qin Huai ignored the looks of his two relatives and walked straight into the house.
Qin Fengying trotted over from behind, reached out to touch his butt and said, "You're getting bolder and bolder. Even the old man doesn't dare to say anything to you. I really like you more and more."
Qin Huai dodged her clutches and said, "Tell me what you want from me."
Qin Fengying was stunned and said, "Really? Why are you pretending to be serious with me? I came here today to see how you are doing. You suddenly died that night and scared me. Are you okay?"
Qin Fengying was very direct. While she was talking, her hands were not idle and she kept reaching into Qin Huai's crotch.
Qin Huai didn't like the feeling of being forced. He took her dirty hand away and said, "What did you say? I don't understand what you mean."
Qin Fengying sneered and said, "You're playing dumb with me. You don't want the food anymore, do you?"
Oh, right, there was no food at home, and the deal with Qin Fengying hadn't been completed yet. This was the money he had paid for his life, so he had to pay for it. He asked, "Why don't you just send it over?"
"Want it?" Qin Fengying asked proudly.
Qin Huai sneered and said, "That's what I deserve. Qin Fengying, you still haven't given it to me. Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"
Qin Fengying might have been used to being the dominant one in their illicit relationship and wasn't used to Qin Huai's tone, but her eyes lit up, and she clearly liked the current Qin Huai more: "So domineering, I really like him more and more."
Her hands began to become restless again, and Qin Huai opened her hands and said, "The food has been delivered. You should leave quickly. If you stay any longer, my grandfather will come with a knife."
