140: This old woman Xu Ying definitely did it on purpose
Xu Ying found Widow Wang in the carriage behind the team and told her that Lao Yu had taken leave and planned to go to repair their roof the next day.
Widow Wang was surprised and happy, she couldn't believe that things were going so smoothly!
The big problem that had troubled their family for two years was solved so easily?
Widow Wang was overjoyed. She hadn't been so happy in many years. She was so happy that she didn't even bother to ask Yu Jiahui if he had found someone else to help. She quickly went to ask for leave from the team leader of their female workers' team, and then went home to tell her children the good news.
When the two children found out, they were so happy.
Great, finally someone is willing to help them repair the roof!
Their house won’t leak anymore!
From now on, you can sleep well on rainy nights without worrying about the roof collapsing.
Widow Wang was so happy that she went straight to the chicken coop, caught a big rooster, killed it, and kept it for entertaining guests the next day.
I boiled water, plucked the chicken feathers, cleaned them all, and hung them on the beams in the main room to dry.
She worked happily for half the night, and then told the two children:
"Chuan'er, Xiaoyuan, you two should help make tea tomorrow and lend a hand. Be more active and take the initiative to help with the work. Don't be lazy. They are here to help us repair the roof, so we have to treat them well, understand?"
"Got it, Mom, we'll help!"
The two children agreed in unison.
"Well, be obedient and go to bed."
The two children took the bedding and spread it out on the kang, then took off their clothes and went to sleep.
Xu Ying tidied up the house for a while, then turned off the lights, lit only a kerosene lamp, and sat next to the kerosene lamp to sew shoe soles.
It was late at night and the only sounds in the house were the two children's even breathing, the rustling sound of cotton thread being pulled out of the hard soles of shoes, and the howling of wolves in the distance.
While sewing the soles of shoes, he suddenly remembered something. Yesterday, Xu Ying asked Yu Jiahui to find another helper, but he didn't know who he was looking for.
Who could it be?
Xu Ying's thoughts were flying uncontrollably again, and the first person who popped into his mind was Hong Cheng.
She was shocked by her own thoughts.
Why would I think of him for no reason?
Damn it!
Then he poked his finger hard with the needle:
Just wishful thinking!
Because she poked too hard, a bright red blood bead immediately flowed out from the fingertip. She put her finger in her mouth, licked the blood bead dry, and continued to sew the sole of the shoe.
She sewed the shoe soles for a while with a confused mind, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she blew out the oil lamp and went to bed.
The next day, I got up before dawn as usual.
I got up and fetched water to fill the water tank at home, then started cooking. I made a pot of corn grits porridge, steamed some multi-grain steamed buns, picked a handful of green onions in the yard, washed a handful of dried radishes, and mixed them with a few drops of soy sauce.
After preparing breakfast, I went to wake up the two children.
Both children knew that they had to work at home today, so they were particularly obedient and sensible. In the past, if you called them to get up, they would definitely stay in for a while.
Today, as soon as I opened my eyes, I jumped up, put on my clothes, and went to get my own food.
Qin Xiaochuan quickly finished his breakfast and went outside. After a while, he suddenly shouted excitedly into the house:
"Mom, mom, the roofer is coming, the roofer is coming!"
Widow Wang was clearing the table and was extremely excited when she heard this. They came really early!
She dropped her bowl and chopsticks and rushed out of the main room, only to see two men walking towards her house with a proud and confident look on their faces, one carrying a ladder and the other carrying a shovel.
Widow Wang was stunned.
Oh my god, the helper that Lao Yu found was actually Hong Cheng!
Widow Wang felt a sudden panic in her heart for no reason, and her calves were shaking a little.
I'm done for. I can't even hide. Why did they call him here?!
On purpose!
This old woman Xu Ying definitely did it on purpose!
This old woman is here on purpose to make fun of her!
Widow Wang clenched her hands tightly and saw Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye, mother and daughter, also coming, carrying some miscellaneous tools in their hands.
Xu Ying laughed so hard that her teeth were exposed and she shouted at her from a distance:
"Mom, we're here!"
Xiaochuan’s mother: Thank you so much, kind Sister Xu!
Widow Wang forced out an ugly smile, ran to open the gate, and said awkwardly:
"Thank you so much, and I'm so sorry to bother you."
Yu Jiahui opened his mouth, said nothing, and went straight into the yard.
Hong Cheng opened his mouth but didn't say anything and went straight into the yard.
Xu Ying came in from behind and said with a smile:
"Xiao Chuan's mother, I've brought everyone here. Don't worry, I guarantee you'll have a new roof in two days."
Widow Wang curled her lips:
"Sister Xu, you are such a good person!"
Xu Ying: "It's mainly because our old Yu is very enthusiastic."
As a group of people came in, they immediately took action.
Men are more vigorous than women when doing work, especially Yu Jiahui, who climbs up and down in a hurry. He decides how to do it after observing for a while, so everyone obeys his arrangements.
Yu Jiahui asked Yu Xiaoye to go to the barn to ask for some straw for thatching.
Yu Xiaoye went there, and soon he brought back a cart of thatch that had been cut last autumn.
Seeing the grass, Yu Jiahui started to pull down the blackened and rotten grass on the roof of Widow Wang's house.
When the grass fell, two small snakes swam out from it, which scared Widow Wang and her two children. They couldn't believe that there were snakes on their roof!
How did the snake get onto the roof?
I can’t imagine it.
Two men were busy on the roof, while Widow Wang was standing below to support them. Yu Xiaoye brought her children to help with odd jobs. Everyone was busy.
Very serious.
Only Xu Ying, like a supervisor, always had a mysterious smile on her face.
Yu Xiaoye gradually noticed that his mother was acting strangely.
Yu Xiaoye was like a civet that couldn't find a melon to eat. He couldn't help but go to his mother and ask:
"Mom, are there any melons?"
"Melon, what melon?" Xu Ying didn't react at first.
"I'm asking you this, don't you? Look at how addicted you are to eating melons."
"So obvious?!"
"Ah, what do you think? If you have any gossip, share it with me."
Xu Ying said faintly:
"This melon is not suitable for children—"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced uncontrollably at Widow Wang.
Widow Wang's hand trembled for no reason, and the iron rake in her hand slipped. She fell backward and fell.
Yu Xiaoye looked at Widow Wang who was sitting on the ground in surprise, then looked at her mother, and then looked up at Hong Cheng who was standing on the roof. Suddenly, she understood something that she shouldn't understand at her age.
Is this melon serious?
From then on, Yu Xiaoye began to secretly pay attention to the actions of Widow Wang and Hong Cheng.
In fact, it was nothing. It was just that Widow Wang never dared to look Hong Cheng in the eye, nor did she speak to him. When she addressed Hong Cheng, she called him Comrade Hong with a very respectful attitude. However, when Widow Wang addressed Yu Jiahui, she simply called him "Brother Yu".
