He seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and he unloaded the things from the oxcart in no time.
Then he strode to the other end of the house, greeted the people there, and immediately joined the team building the house.
Chen Yourun has never been a talkative person, but today he was unusually silent, almost without uttering a word, just laying bricks and laying bricks, almost without stopping to rest for a moment.
Gradually, the people around him also noticed his unusual behavior, and after exchanging glances, they all guessed what was going on.
If you go to the city and come back so unhappy, you must have been hit hard or shocked.
Yes, the Yin people are actually quite good, and they are also lucky. They are smart and capable, and can even kill wild boars.
Unfortunately, there's one downside: she's a spendthrift. Just look at how she used to carry all those bags and packages when she went to town; she must have spent all her money.
Chen Yourun went with her this time, so the two must have had a falling out.
I wonder if Chen Yourun regrets marrying this beautiful but incredibly extravagant wife.
When they finished and were about to leave, they saw the oxcart that hadn't been returned yet, and it was completely empty.
So these people understood even more clearly: they hadn't bought anything after going into the city.
The two must have had a fight.
Yin Lan was originally going back to prepare dinner, but these people came to say goodbye while it was still broad daylight.
Yin Lan invited them to stay for dinner, but they absolutely refused.
“We’ve come here to help out, You Run’s wife. You found a teacher for the village and were willing to open a school. Everyone remembers your kindness. We absolutely won’t eat here. Even if you cook, we won’t eat it. Don’t waste it.”
If you eat dinner, wouldn't that be taking advantage of the situation?
No matter what Yin Lan said, those people wouldn't agree, and in the end they even ran away.
Yin Lan had no choice but to agree.
Actually, most people in the village are very nice. Changing someone's perception of you takes time, but now, she thinks, her impression and reputation should have improved a lot.
Since she doesn't need to cook much for dinner, it's perfect timing, she still needs to make jelly.
Yin Lan then went out to find sweet potato starch.
Behind the house.
"Sigh...raising kids and wives is indeed expensive," Hu Er said, offering a subtle consolation to Chen Yourun.
Chen Yourun was inexplicable.
The child is doing alright.
His wife? His wife is probably working there.
He spends money on his family, and he can even find ways to earn money himself. Thanks to his wife, he even got a much cheaper price for the fabric he bought. You can't find a wife as good as him even with a lantern.
Hu Er sighed, glanced at Chen Yourun with some sympathy, and then left.
The villagers had all benefited from Yin Lan's kindness. Which child didn't want to study? If the children didn't study now, what about when they were born and when they grew up? So they reached a consensus that they would not eat her food and would work together to help her build the house!
Even so, the villagers still felt they had made too much money.
Building a house only costs a few labor costs, but tutoring and education are so expensive. It would be such a great and proud thing for the village to have a scholar and a school.
Almost everyone else had left, but Chen Yourun was still working. For some reason, he felt restless.
Just like when you're out and about, it only happens on many late nights.
At that time, he resolved the issue by killing the enemy and through bloodshed.
Now, all he can do is work, work, work, and make himself even more tired before he feels a little better.
Yin Lan went out for a stroll and came back with a basket full of sweet potatoes.
Chen Yourun had seen this before; he had steamed it and it tasted pretty good, so he assumed she was having it for dinner.
Tonight, no one else is eating at home except for the three kids, Liu Jing, Yin Lan, and Chen Yourun.
Compared to before when it was just Yin Lan and her child at home, there are now quite a few more people, making the space feel a bit cramped.
“About half a month,” Chen Yourun said, looking at Yin Lan.
It was initially estimated to take a month, but now that we have more people helping, the house will be completed in about half a month.
As Chen Yourun spoke, his deep gaze was fixed on Yin Lan. The three children were busy eating and drinking, and naturally did not notice what their parents were doing.
Liu Jing stroked his beard, fully aware of the atmosphere.
Yin Lan glanced at him, feeling that his gaze was somewhat incomprehensible and made her flustered. She quickly looked away, but then realized that he was still looking at her, so she looked back at him.
That gaze seemed to carry a burning heat. Yin Lan was truly regretting it at this moment. Why was she so reckless? She must have had a brain fart. How could she... kiss him?
"Eat something." She quickly picked up a piece of meat for the man, and Chen Yourun chuckled softly before lowering his head to eat.
Because the schoolhouse has not yet been repaired, the children are still studying in Yinlan's small thatched hut.
There are no classes in the evening, but unexpectedly, several kids came one after another.
Yin Lan observed that her eldest child was standing among the children, talking about something, and even Tian Youwei, who had always been at odds with the eldest child, had come.
Could he be up to something? She went closer and listened, only to find that the eldest child was actually reciting the Three Character Classic.
He explained part of it, then got a little stuck, and then went on to explain the next part. The other children obviously didn't understand as well as the older one, so even though he didn't explain it very clearly, the other children thought the older one was amazing!
She looked at him with starry eyes.
Now the eldest child's clothes are clean, they are brand new cotton clothes. After eating meat for so many days, he is a little fatter than before, his hair is no longer dry, and he is in good spirits. He looks like a handsome and cute little boy.
The children around him were all staring at him with wide eyes.
"Big brother, we studied together, how do you remember so much? You're amazing."
"Big brother, how did you remember that? Why can't I?"
"Big brother, can you teach me this?"
The eldest child is very proud.
The second child next to him was wearing pigskin made by his mother. The children surrounded him on the first day they saw him, touching and praising him.
And leather jackets are really warm.
"Erwa, what's this? It's so pretty."
"Erwa, where did you come from?"
Erwa's tail was practically wagging in the air. "My mom made this for me!"
Except for Tian Youwei rolling his eyes, all the other kids really wanted one.
The two kids used to be disliked even by dogs in the village, but now they are surrounded and envied by all the other kids in the village.
“His method is very good.” While Yin Lan was still looking after the baby, Liu Jing’s voice suddenly rang out behind her.
As Yin Lan turned her head, the old man explained, "Your eldest child is smart, but he also needs to be able to endure hardship and be patient. His future is limitless."
