Chapter 137 New Neighbors



When she finished her dinner, it was still light outside when she saw the man who had just come to borrow the bucket carrying the bucket into her yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, the man asked, "Tong Zhiqing, where should I pour this water for you?"

Tong Yiya then realized that the bucket he was carrying was full of water. Thinking that it would be heavy for someone to stand on, she quickly said, "Oh, just pour it into the vat over there. Why don't you use it for your own use? Why did you bring it here?"

Fu Shinian carried the bucket to the water tank she mentioned, put it down, and while pouring water into the tank, he replied: "Don't mind, Tong Zhiqing, I can't lend you this bucket for free. I just thought that in the next few days, another male educated youth and I would pick up some water for you as payment for borrowing your wooden barrel. Tong Zhiqing, is this okay with you?"

When Tong Yiya heard that he wanted to use this as a thank you gift, she refused without a second thought: "No, I won't be using that barrel these days, and I don't need much water in a day, Fu Zhiqing, you don't have to be so polite."

When Fu Shinian heard her refusal, he thought it would be a bad idea to stay any longer, so he said, "Then when Tong Zhiqing needs help, just call us. We'll be neighbors from now on, so please take care of us."

After saying this, he left with the wooden bucket on his shoulder, went to the well to fetch some water, and then carried the bucket back to their place. By then, the workers who were building the house had already gone home.

When Guard Dong saw someone coming back, he joked, "Wow... I didn't expect our Master Fu would thank people this way. In the past, he always gave them money."

Fu Shinian didn't say anything. He put the bucket down and glanced at him. Guard Dong immediately shut up. He didn't dare to mess with this man, otherwise, with his sinister personality, he might secretly do something to you at any time.

The place where they live now is simply built with a few sticks and covered with thatch on all sides. It is a simple version of a thatched house.

Fortunately it didn't rain in the past few days, otherwise the two people would have been caught in the rain, because on the first day they arrived, when the team leader asked them to live with the villagers at their homes, the two refused.

After discussing with the team leader, they decided to pay for the land and build a house. They were not planning to live there for the next few days. The team leader couldn't persuade the two guys, so he could only ask workers to help and build a simple hut for them.

The two of them have only ordered a few pieces of furniture from the village carpenter. The other pots and pans were also bought at the commune yesterday. The rest of the things can only be purchased slowly after the house is built.

Not long after Fu Shinian left, Tong Yiya closed the gate of the courtyard. She noticed that the people who had been staring at the shed over there no longer stared at that place, and she knew the reason.

She didn't rush to walk over there, she just wanted to observe whether they had changed their methods.

Fu Shinian was currently thinking about the girl he met for the first time today. When he walked into the yard today, he saw the person leaning back in a chair with her eyes closed, basking in the sun.

The little girl should not be very old. She still has some baby fat, but she looks thin overall.

At that time, she gave her the feeling that she was living in her own space, and everything around her seemed to have no effect on her.

If that person hadn't opened his eyes and asked her what he was doing, she would have felt that he would disappear from her sight at any moment.

The little girl was not as lively and active as other girls of her age. She looked at everyone without any emotion and did not take the initiative to approach others, as if she did not care about anything.

At that moment Fu Shinian knew that he was very interested in her, so he later wanted to visit her more often under the pretext of helping her fetch water.

Guard Dong was right. He used to ignore everyone. With his looks and talent, many girls in the compound liked him, but he didn't feel anything. He even felt uncomfortable when those people approached him.

Just like this time when he went to the countryside, he couldn't stand his mother thinking about introducing him to girls all day long, so he hoped that he would find a partner and get married as soon as possible to continue the Fu family's bloodline.

Fu Shinian couldn't accept it, so he signed up to go to the countryside. He came here for another purpose, which was that his grandfather's old comrade-in-arms was here, and after he arrived here, he could find time to help.

From childhood to adulthood, he only has a few good friends, and other people can't fit into their circle at all.

After Tong Yiya closed the gate, she began to put everything in the yard back into the house. After putting everything away, she went to the kitchen to prepare her dinner.

Aunt Guihua hasn't come to visit her since the Chinese New Year. She understands that and hasn't blamed anyone.

She is a person who is not very emotional. If someone is willing to come, she will just stay with them. If not, she can live well on her own.

After dinner, she went back to her room early to study in her space, and did not come out to rest until around eleven o'clock.

Fu Shinian and his friend were having trouble with dinner, as they had been the boys in the family since they were young, and their mother had prepared all their meals for them. During the day, they also invited aunties from the village to cook, so they had something to eat.

But at night, the two boys who had never cooked before almost burned down the hut they lived in, and they were unable to make dinner. In the end, the two of them ate some cakes they brought with them and made do with dinner.

They were supposed to start working the next day, but the team leader thought that there was nothing to do in the fields and they also had to watch over the house construction, so he didn't let the two go to work.

Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing also learned their lesson. Since they didn't know how to cook, they would ask the cook to cook more at noon every day. They would scoop out the dinner portions early and then they could just heat them up and eat in the evening.

Tong Yiya could smell the smell of burnt food coming from outside from time to time. She wanted to go and see how the two young masters cooked their meals. She could smell the burnt food every night.

Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing also expressed their helplessness. They didn't know what was wrong. It was as if they had not learned the skill of cooking. Every day, they would just heat up the rice and it would become burnt.

Also, most people in this village eat coarse grains. They have been eating cornmeal porridge with stir-fried cabbage for three days. The food cooked by my aunt was already difficult for them to eat, and when they heated it up at night, it became burnt. The taste was really amazing.

That afternoon, Tong Yiya saw the time and put a stool against the wall of her house. She went up and looked in the direction of the two people's hut. She saw that the two people were not far from the hut, cooking their dinner.

She saw Guard Dong lying on the ground blowing the fire, while Fu Shinian was stirring the food in the pot with a sullen face.

Tong Yiya looked at the huge smoke. Both of them felt uncomfortable in their eyes and rubbed their eyes from time to time. At this time, Dong Weibing couldn't blow it anymore, so he stood up and said, "Oh, this fire is too hard to burn. It's suffocating me. I can't blow it anymore. Let's wait for it to burn by itself."
