The cool breeze gently brushed the tips of my hair.
A few children were chasing and playing.
"Hey, slow down."
Su Qing held the child who almost hit her.
The child said sorry and started playing with his friends again.
"What are you looking at?" Cheng Fangyi asked.
Su Qing pointed at the child who had just bumped into her, "He looks like Xiaowu and Xiaoliu when they were little."
Cheng Fangyi looked at him for a while and nodded, "Yes, a little, but I think my son is better looking."
Su Qing was amused by his words. "Why are you bragging in front of me? If you have the guts, brag in front of your sons, so they won't always say you're the black-faced Bao Gong."
Cheng Fangyi took a long step, stood in front of Su Qing, approached her face, and said, "You said I'm black?"
Su Qing looked at him carefully for a while, then turned his head away. "Are you kidding me? A thousand-year-old fox can't understand what I mean."
The two left laughing.
But he didn't know that behind him, there was a pair of eyes watching him as if they were about to spit fire.
As soon as Su Qing entered the house, Xiaowu took her away to settle a lawsuit.
"Mom, you're finally back. Please help me speak up for my second sister. She's bullying me again."
After saying that, Xiaowu raised his eyebrows proudly.
Su Qing raised an eyebrow, "Why did you two fight?"
Xiaowu pulled up his sleeves, revealing his red arms, "Second sister hits me. She hits me whenever we disagree."
Erya was not to be outdone. She stood on a stool and supported Xiao Yuanxu's shoulders, "Mom, Xiaowu said I was a tigress."
"Then you two can fight again. I'll side with whoever wins."
After Su Qing finished speaking, the two siblings started fighting with each other.
The Su family has long been accustomed to it.
Everyone is doing their own thing.
Mother Su waved the broom and swept it across the feet of the two people. "Stop for a moment, wait for me to clean this place before hitting you."
The two stopped in seconds.
As soon as Su's mother left, they immediately resumed their truce and started fighting.
Su Qingyi sat down here.
Xiaoliu came up and massaged his shoulders.
One hundred percent thoughtful.
Sometimes Su Qing even felt that Xiaoliu should be a girl.
But think about it, since girls are allowed to have bad tempers, boys should also be allowed to be gentle.
After being home for so many days, I finally started a fire at home for the second time.
This is not because the Su family is lazy, but because the villagers are too enthusiastic.
Eat at this restaurant today and that restaurant tomorrow.
It can't be pushed at all.
Of course, when visiting someone's home, you must observe proper etiquette.
Su Qing picked up a lot of fruits and dried meat from the space and carried them away.
Sometimes it's apples and pears, sometimes it's peaches and watermelons.
The most common type of jerky given away is beef jerky, which comes in pounds.
After a while, everyone was vying to treat them to a meal.
Whether he was sincere or not, Su Qing was happy the moment he drank the wine.
"Mom, we haven't been to the basement for a long time. Let's go down and take a look after dinner."
When the cook was getting firewood, Su Qing finally remembered that he had a basement at home.
Cheng Fangyi also agreed, "Okay, if we can't use it, we can just fill it up."
Opportunities to return to rural areas are becoming increasingly rare.
The less you reply, the better.
This house may collapse one day.
Keeping this basement will also be a disaster.
We got to work right away. After a simple meal, everyone was ready to get started.
The cellar door was opened before dinner.
Cheng Fangyi used a pair of tongs to clamp the oil lamp into the cellar.
"I'll go down first, and you guys follow behind."
The basement smelled damp.
There is a layer of silt underneath.
The wooden door separating the underground river was also rotten.
It's half-hung on the wall and feels like it could fall over if touched.
"It must be because the water level rose earlier and flooded in."
The stove, table, dishes and other items cannot be used.
Without saying anything, Xiao Wu took apart the table and benches and said, "I'll move them out and dry them out to use as firewood."
After a few trips back and forth, the basement was emptied.
Since they planned to fill the basement, the Su family did not plan to clear the silt.
After a quick check, I prepared to start work the next day.
Before dawn, Su Qing and Cheng Fangyi arrived at the place where they had picked up river clams before.
A shovel and a stack of sacks.
Collect the sand and stones from the river bottom, put them into the space, and then take them out when you get home.
Su Qing also specially bought a dozen bags of cement from Space.
Use more and supplement less.
When Xiao Yuanxu got up, he saw the yard full of sand, gravel and cement, and his brows furrowed.
He is not a person who can sleep soundly.
It didn't make sense that he didn't hear anything when so many things were moved around the house.
But Su Qing was already calling him over there.
"Mix these sand and gravel with cement, add water, and make it into this thick consistency."
To avoid polluting the groundwater, the first wall to be built was the one closest to the groundwater.
Those who mix the cement slurry, those who pick the cement slurry, those who make the formwork...
Working in full swing.
It took the Su family four days to fill the basement.
Taking advantage of this momentum, Cheng Fangyi also repaired the wall and replaced a lot of tiles.
That evening, Aunt Xiulan came over with her grandson.
Call the Su family to the drying yard.
It is said that the village has invited a troupe of actors for everyone to watch.
The memory of the whole village gathering together to watch a play was too distant. Su Qing missed it very much. Without saying a word, he moved his stool and left with Aunt Xiulan.
After Su's mother thought about it, she decided to let everyone go.
"Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, you two have long legs, go and take a seat first. Xiaocheng, go get some snacks. Xiaoxu, move the half sack of candy from my room over here and share it with the kids later."
