Chapter 145: Living Better in Secret
Ling Yun was even more cautious after hearing this. Without thinking, he said the excuse they had prepared beforehand, "Third brother went to visit a distant uncle who is also nearby. He should help with some things before returning."
"Going to visit distant uncles." Shen Qingqian stared at him with a strange expression, and held back from asking, "Then why didn't you go?"
"Yes! He took care of my third brother when he was a child. I don't know him. Besides, our current identities make it inconvenient for both of us to leave casually. I have to stay in case someone looks for us." Ling Yun was smart for once. When he saw that Shen Qingqian's eyes were not right, he hurriedly explained.
Shen Qingqian then said "Oh" and sighed with regret, "Oh, that's a pity. I was planning to use the leftover seasoning to mix with wild vegetables at lunch."
Before she could finish her words, Ling Yun quickly interrupted her, "Thinking about it carefully, I don't seem to have anything to do. Then I'll help you mix the mud in the yard!"
The seasoning made by the Sixth Miss was simply a delicacy. It would be strange if he could refuse it. As for the master, it would be a big deal for him to stay away from the Sixth Miss and keep that kid Shen Yong by his side.
Shen Qingqian raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just a piece of cake." Ling Yun chuckled dryly.
Shen Qingqian immediately said, "Okay then. After my third and fourth brothers get the things back, I'll have to trouble Brother Cheng Yun."
"What trouble are you talking about? They are all trivial matters, haha, trivial matters." Ling Yun waved his hands and couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he thought of the barbecue made with new seasoning.
He didn't know how the Sixth Girl made it, but he had never tasted anything so delicious before.
Today, except for Shen Xiao who went to the Arsenal, the rest of the Shen family was divided into two groups.
This morning, Mrs. Wu went to the yard opposite and borrowed a few hoes, which she distributed to several other families.
Because each family only had one hoe, Wu did not let Shen Shan and Shen Yong go with her. She only took Shen Jun and Lin Liang to the field, intending to turn over the land that had been cleared yesterday.
Shen Qingqian and others stayed at home. She just wanted to take this opportunity to deal with a few rooms.
It is unrealistic to make the entire roof with concrete. After all, the foundation of this kind of earthen house is too poor, and it is questionable whether it can withstand the weight of concrete.
So Shen Qingqian could only settle for the second best and planned to cover several rooms with concrete from the inside and then fix a layer of straw mats on the outside of the concrete. This should be able to survive this winter.
As for the future, that depends on what is said above.
The status of a fugitive is very restrictive and there is no freedom at all. Having a place to live is already a blessing from above.
If you want to renovate the houses, then renovate the houses of all the prisoners, and you will have to pay for it yourself.
Let me ask you, if someone really does this, will he still be alive?
So Shen Qingqian could only secretly make sure her family lived better.
Soon Shen Yong and Shen Shan brought back some of the things they needed. Shen Shan continued to look for them, while Shen Yong stayed behind to crush what needed to be crushed and powder what needed to be ground into powder with Ling Yun.
The two of them were bickering while working, not feeling tired at all.
Shen Qingqian was in charge of weaving a few small straw curtains, and also checked whether Shen Yong and Ling Yun were doing their job properly.
Several people worked until noon, but only managed to get less than half of the materials.
Shen Qingyu and Shen Qingning were responsible for making lunch. Before noon, they came out to call for food.
"I'm going to the field to call my mother and the others. You guys go wash and tidy up first." Shen Qingning said as she took off her apron and ran away.
Shen Qingqian asked a few people to wash their hands, but before they had finished cleaning up, they heard Old Qin's loud voice.
"Girl, I heard you were looking for me"
