139: Watching the fun is not a big deal
What could Yu Jiahui say? Could he have the heart to reject an orphan and a widow?
Even if he could reject the orphan and the widow, could he reject Xu Ying?
So Yu Jiahui took the initiative (and wisely) to agree to help Widow Wang repair the roof.
Widow Wang was almost moved to tears of gratitude and didn't know what to say. This family was so kind!
This Yu Jiahui looks big and strong with a fierce face, but unexpectedly he is also a kind-hearted person.
Widow Wang gave the three eggs in the bowl to Xu Ying, but Xu Ying didn't want them. The two women argued over the eggs for a long time. Finally, Widow Wang won and stuffed the eggs into Xu Ying's arms.
Holding the still warm egg in his hand, Xu Ying escorted Widow Wang out of the yard. Then, coming back, he said to Yu Jiahui with a devilish smile:
"Old Yu, seriously, please take two days off and find someone to repair the roof of Widow Wang's house. This widow and orphan are so pitiful. We should help if we can."
"But who can I ask for help?"
"Looking for Master Hong—"
“??!!”
Yu Jiahui's hand, which was reinforcing the chicken coop, suddenly stopped, turned his head, glared at Xu Ying and said:
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?!"
Xu Ying opened her innocent eyes wide:
"I'm sincere. I sincerely want to do something good."
Yu Jiahui had a look on his face that said, "I don't believe you!"
"You just want to watch the fun and not mind the trouble!"
Then he lowered his voice and said:
"What did you say last night? You said you were worried that Hong Cheng would harm Widow Wang. You said that yourself, didn't you? I didn't accuse you, did I? You said that last night, and now you're doing it today, asking Hong Cheng to repair their roof. You, you're just hoping for chaos, afraid that the two of them won't be able to do anything, and you're fanning the flames and watching the fun!"
Xu Ying tried her best to defend herself:
"I didn't, I didn't. I just wanted to help them. How pitiful! Don't I have any sympathy?"
Yu Jiahui rolled his eyes silently: I don't believe you! You just want to watch the fun!
Yu Jiahui complained a lot, but he finally listened to Xu Ying and planned to ask Hong Cheng for help when he went to work the next day. The two of them would go to repair the roof of Widow Wang's house.
Yu Jiahui thought about it carefully and felt that Xu Ying’s bad idea actually made some sense.
If Yu Jiahui asked someone else for help, they would probably be unwilling to help for no reason. Who would really care about the life and death of this family of orphans and widows?
Even if someone is willing to help, you can't tell what dirty intentions they might have.
Hong Cheng is different. According to Xu Ying, Hong Cheng has been getting closer to Widow Wang recently and should not refuse to help Widow Wang.
Moreover, from Yu Jiahui's perspective on people, Yu Jiahui felt that Hong Cheng should be a man with a decent mind, and would not take the opportunity to flirt with Widow Wang like other coquettish men - Yu Jiahui was not implying anything to anyone, he sincerely felt that some of the men and women in the company were somewhat coquettish.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate to find Hong Cheng. Given Hong Cheng's status and vision, he should not really fall in love with such a widow.
That night, the three members of the Yu family had dinner in the small mud house.
Now the old couple feel that they have to get used to life without space as soon as possible, otherwise, if their daughter leaves them in the future, they will probably not be able to adapt.
So while my daughter is around, get used to it first.
Xu Ying peeled the hairy eggs and let her daughter eat them.
Yu Xiaoye looked at the chicks that had grown legs and wings, with a look of surprise on his face.
I can't eat it!
How could anyone like this shapeless chicken?
My parents in the previous life seemed to never eat this kind of thing. The old couple in this life were probably influenced by the original owner, and their taste is almost the same as the original owner. They like to eat this kind of strange thing.
After all, it’s still a piece of meat!
Fragrant meat!
Who can resist meat?
So Xu Ying and Yu Jiahui dipped some soybean paste in the food and chewed it with great relish. The sound of bones being chewed could be clearly heard, which made Yu Xiaoye's stomach churn.
The next day, the weather was exceptionally sunny.
Yu Jiahui went to work as usual. When he arrived at the fields, the farmers and workers began to check whether the seeds planted yesterday were turned over by the rain.
If you see any seeds turned out, pat them back into the soil.
Yu Jiahui found an opportunity and told Hong Cheng about repairing the roof of Widow Wang's house. Hong Cheng agreed without hesitation and agreed very readily.
Then the two of them asked for leave from the squad leader and told him the truth.
When squad leader Yan Dafu first heard that the two wanted to ask for leave, he frowned and was reluctant.
Yu Jiahui hurriedly said that he wanted to repair the roof for Widow Wang, and Squad Leader Yan Dafu smiled ambiguously again.
Yu Jiahui didn't explain much. He was upright and had no bad intentions, so there was no need for him to explain!
The squad leader granted them two days of leave, but only gave them two days, and they had to come back to work after two days.
Then the whole squad, even the whole platoon, knew that these two were going to repair the roof of the widow's house. An old bachelor came over and said shamelessly:
"Old Yu, you're amazing! You've only been here a few days, and you've already hooked up with Widow Wang—"
Before the old bachelor could finish his words, Yu Jiahui punched him:
"roll!!"
The old bachelor didn't even have time to groan before he was punched into the wet mud, creating a huge human-shaped hole on the spot.
Yu Jiahui is not afraid of people talking behind his back, but if anyone dares to talk behind his back in front of him, he should be taught a lesson. He cannot let this precedent be set!
It's strange that everyone knew that Yu Jiahui and Hong Cheng were going to repair the roof for Widow Wang, but everyone's attention was on Yu Jiahui and they completely ignored Hong Cheng.
It’s as if Hong Cheng is a transparent person.
If you think about it carefully, it's not that Hong Cheng is transparent, but that Hong Cheng and Widow Wang can't be connected at all. Hong Cheng is a cadre transferred from the city, a master of Peking Opera, and a man of great talent.
How could he be involved with an unattractive rural widow?
On the contrary, a down-to-earth country man like Yu Jiahui seems to be more of the same kind as Widow Wang.
So people would only make jokes about Yu Jiahui and Widow Wang, and no one would make jokes about Hong Cheng and Widow Wang.
This actually made Hong Cheng feel at ease.
After the two were granted leave, they began to seriously discuss and prepare to repair the roof for Widow Wang.
Make plans early, think about what tools you need in advance, and get started when the time comes.
The two of them thought that they should not repair it piece by piece, as they might have to repair it again next year.
The easiest way is to get things done right the first time.
So the two decided to simply remove the top layer of rotten grass, paste a layer of mud on the fence, and then replace it with new grass. This way, they could last at least another year.
Both of them were sincerely considering Wang Widow's family and felt that this was the most appropriate approach.
When it was time to finish work that afternoon, Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye, mother and daughter, went to pick up Yu Jiahui. When they saw Yu Jiahui and Hong Cheng getting off the tractor together, looking like they were discussing something along the way, they knew that the matter was settled.
