But she couldn't fail in one day, otherwise all her hard work for the year would be in vain. If she was told that she had money but didn't pay for the two old people's medical treatment, or that she had evil intentions, she would be even more angry to death.
"Hey, I forgot about this. Don't worry, sister. I won't tell anyone that you bought me this gun. I'll say it was my grandfather who bought it for me."
Chen Ye rolled his eyes and said that the boy was not very smart: "Just say that it was mailed to you by your grandfather's comrade-in-arms. We don't have this toy here. Where can your grandfather buy it for you when he is at home every day?"
"I know, sister. Why did you buy so many things? Do you have any money?" Looking at the big bag of things, Shuanzhu felt distressed.
"Sister, I will give you all the money I have saved in a while, and I will give you all the money I have in the future."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to raise me from now on." She must support the child's wish.
He grabbed the little chest and patted it loudly: "Don't worry, leave it to me. When I grow up, I will join the army, and all the money I earn in the future will be given to you and our grandfather."
Chen Ye burst out laughing. A dark little kid said he wanted to support himself and his grandfather. It was so funny no matter how you looked at it.
"Okay, hurry up, take these to our room, and these are yours, take them to your room." Chen Ye pointed at the things divided on the ground and gave instructions.
Shuanzhu gave a not-so-standard salute: "Yes."
Chen Ye shook his head. He couldn't understand why boys nowadays were so fond of being soldiers. It must be so restrictive to be supervised all day long! And it was so dangerous.
Chen Shengli looked at the things piled on the kang, from food, clothes, to daily necessities. The child had not forgotten his share in anything. The child was a very good child, but it was the Chen family who had let him down.
"Hold it up, let's go and see my new home with me."
"Here I come, here I come, sister, can I take my gun with me?" He was determined to sleep with the gun in his arms tonight.
"Take it with you, hurry up, it will be dark soon and you won't be able to see anything."
He tied it up and quickly ran out the door holding the gun: "Let's go, sister."
Chen Ye's newly built house is said to be opposite her grandfather's house, but in fact, it should be diagonally opposite. Her house is closer to the foot of the mountain. Behind the house is a small cliff that goes straight up and down, so there is no need for a backyard wall.
The wall of Chen Ye's new house looks particularly high, which is also to prevent wild animals from coming down the mountain and jumping into the yard. However, this wall feels even higher than the wall of his grandfather's house.
The gate looks quite bright, and it is obvious that it was made by the one-eyed grandfather. It is very thick and there is no gap at all. No one lives here, so the gate is always closed. You can't see inside through the gate, so it feels quite safe.
When you push open the gate, you will see a small square courtyard. Opposite the gate are two rooms. The one in the middle is the living room, and the room on the side is the kitchen. The kitchen looks not much different in size from the kitchens of other houses in the village.
But the house for actual living is much larger. The room that is used as the main hall as soon as you enter the door has a big kang inside, and there is also a suite next to the kitchen, so it is actually two rooms.
But every family is like this, the main house and the living room are connected and counted as one room, but Chen Ye's suite looks more spacious. Even if Chen Ye divides this house into three rooms in the future, it will still look spacious.
There is also a big kang in the suite, which has become a feature of this place. In the rural areas of Northeast China, the temperature is so high that it would be difficult to survive in winter without this kang.
The house is empty and lifeless. As long as you add furniture to it, the house can be lived in. When people move in, the place will naturally become lively.
The houses were all made of ready-made adobe bricks and did not need to be dried for a long time before they could be lived in. It happened that she had nothing to do at the moment, so she went to the mountain to get some wood to dry, and then she could make the furniture herself after the spring plowing.
Although Chen Ye is not very old, she has learned a lot of various skills. After she left home, she rarely stayed in that house and was an eyesore. She almost hung out outside every day.
She watched everyone working and learned many skills that are essential in life. She learned the carpentry skills from the one-eyed grandfather, a carpenter in the village.
Taking advantage of the period before spring plowing, she bought some things for the kitchen. As long as it was suitable for cooking and living, there was no rush for furniture and she could handle it as she pleased.
She looked up at the roof. It was made of tiles. Such a house was much better than a straw roof. At least it wouldn't leak easily.
When it rains, it rains heavily outside and drizzles inside the Chen family's old house, which makes it very annoying to live in.
Turning around the house, he went to the yard at the back. There were few residents here and a lot of open space. The backyard of Chen Ye's house was quite large. If he planted vegetables here, and added some potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., he could get half of his food supply for the year.
It is also next to the smoothest mountain wall in the West Mountain, so she doesn't need a wall in her backyard. This side is too steep, so even if someone goes up the mountain, they won't come here, and it forms a natural barrier.
It's just that it's the wrong season now, and the yard looks bare. Once you plant something, the yard will look full of life.
Thinking that this would be her home from now on, Chen Ye's heart was bubbling with joy. This was her real home, she could tidy it up however she wanted and live however she wanted.
No longer have to feel like a dependent.
"Sister, Grandpa said it's too early to till the soil in the backyard, so he thought he'd wait until it gets warmer and find someone to help him dig the vegetable patch."
"No need for that. It's not much and I can do it by myself." She squatted down and took a look at the soil in the backyard. The land near the foot of the mountain was fertile, but it had never been used to grow crops and needed to be cared for.
"Then I'll go with you, sister."
"Okay, tie it up and come over to help me when the time comes," he said, walking back.
"Sister, will it take you a long time to move in? There's nothing here and it's hard to live here." He actually hoped that his sister would stay at home for a while longer.
In the little head of the owner, only those who live in the same yard are a family, and those who live separately are not a family.
"Haha, I'm going to the commune tomorrow to stock up on some kitchen supplies. Do you want to come with me?"
"Go ahead, I can help you get things." Children's attention is very easy to divert, and now he is not worried about whether his sister can live in the same yard with him or whether they are a family.
"Let's go, go back and have some rest. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."
He followed Chen Ye's footsteps and said, "Sister, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll make porridge, okay?"
"Okay, I'll eat whatever you do if you tie me up. You're such a good brother to me."
Chen Ye had just reached the gate when Lan Zhe grabbed Chen Ye's hand and said, "Oh, sister, I forgot to tell you. Grandpa said we can't dig the cellar now. We can only start digging after the soil has thawed and seeped water."
