Chapter 12 Bubbling, burping sweet water
Ji Xiaobei didn't argue with her and just put it away. Every family has this thing.
Looking at the skinny and dark kids behind Aunt Song, life at home isn’t going well either.
When they parted, Ji Xiaobei told Aunt Song not to tell the people in the old house, so as to prevent them from causing trouble.
Aunt Song pulled her sleeve mysteriously, stood on tiptoe and whispered in her ear, "You may not know yet, but your third uncle and your third aunt had a fight, and your third aunt went back to her parents' home. Your third uncle wanted to take food to ask her to come back, but your second aunt disagreed.
Your second uncle and your second aunt also had a fight. Your second uncle beat your second aunt, and your second aunt also went back to her parents' home. Your second uncle also wanted to take food to call him back. Your grandmother scolded her two sons for not living up to her expectations, and she became sick with anger...
Aunt Song muttered a lot, and she understood what she said. No wonder there was no movement here. It turned out that she was too busy with family matters to take care of Lin's side.
Old Mrs. Ji deserved it. She bullied Lin all day long, but was bullied by her two daughters-in-law at home.
Ji Xiaobei carried the basket to the village head's house.
When the brothers Tiedan and Tieqiu saw Ji Xiaobei coming, they quickly got up from the ground. They were happier than seeing their own aunt and ran over at a speed of three feet high.
"Aunt Xiaobei, my grandpa is in the house, I'll take you there!" Tiedan smiled so hard that the dirt on his face fell off.
"I'll take you there, Aunt Xiaobei!" Tieqiu was not to be outdone.
Surrounded by the two brothers, Ji Xiaobei seemed to be back in kindergarten, with a group of little kids hugging his thighs and shouting "Hello, Teacher Ji!"
"Xiaobei is here, come in quickly!" Ji Lizheng's wife didn't know what she was busy with in the yard, and she wiped her body twice in a hurry.
"Grandma, I made pancakes at home. I gave a few to Tieqiu and Tiedan to try!" Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.
This time, the headman's wife didn't dare to refuse. She quickly took the cake from her hand and let her into the house.
Ji Lizheng walked out of the house and looked at Ji Xiaobei with different eyes. Yesterday, this girl had a verbal battle with Wang's mother-in-law, which was really eye-opening. This kid is simple and silly, but his brain has become smarter.
"Grandpa, my Uncle Shugen is not at home?" Ji Xiaobei asked.
Shugen is the father of Tiedan and Tieqiu, and the eldest son of Ji Lizheng. He often goes to the town to work as a bricklayer.
"I went to work in the town. Bei, do you have something to talk to your uncle about?" Ji Lizheng's eyes were shining. He had never thought of letting his eldest son be the head of the village. Usually, the Wang family would work for five years and the Ji family would work for five years.
It would be a great thing if the eldest son took over. Last year, when the county government distributed relief grain, as the head of the village, he of course took the fullest bag of grain.
"I have something to do. Let's talk about it when Uncle Shugen is free!" said Ji Xiaobei.
"My daughter, tell me what you want to say! Don't be polite." The headman's wife gave a piece of cake to her two grandsons, licked the oil on her hands and walked over to say.
"I'm back now. My house is so crowded that I want to clean up the west wing, but the roof needs to be repaired..." Before she finished her words, the headman's wife took over.
"Repairing the roof, huh? Don't worry about it. Let your uncle do it. I'll tell him when he comes back in the evening. Ask him to come over when he's free. We've prepared all the grass and soil for you. You don't have to worry about anything!"
The headman's wife waved her hand and stopped it for her son.
"Yes, your uncle is an expert at this, don't worry! Just go when you have time!" said the head of the village, stroking his beard.
Tieqiu and Tiedan ate so much that their eyes were filled with tears, and their chests were soaked with their drool.
"Okay then, I'll trouble Uncle Shugen!" said Ji Xiaobei.
Eight cakes solved a big problem and are useful as gifts in any dynasty.
When Ji Xiaobei returned home, he saw a basket hanging from the beam of the kitchen. He knew without a doubt that there must be scallion pancakes inside.
Ji Xiaobei is tall, and every time he walks around, he feels like there is a time bomb hanging above his head.
She told Lin about cleaning the west wing, and told them to go dig the ground, as she would be at home.
Lin thought about it and just let Shitou take his two sisters to the fields.
It is not right for the village women to come to the house to help clean up and for you to hide away.
She had originally planned to clean up the west wing after digging the ground and reinforce the roof, as it might collapse after a rainy season.
As a woman, she had to hire a craftsman to build a small room, and it would be inconvenient without a man in the house.
"Well, if your grandma knew about this, would she come over to cause trouble? We asked your uncle Shugen to come over to help, but we didn't tell your uncle. If we tell others, people might gossip about us."
Lin said with a frown.
"Mom, ask my uncles, will they come to fix it? A few years ago, it rained and our roof was about to collapse. You asked my two uncles and aunts to add a pillar, but they scolded you and we had to hire workers in town to fix it."
Ji Xiaobei remembered clearly that her two uncles would never do anything that was not beneficial.
The two of them later found out about this and fabricated a lot of gossip, causing Lin to be criticized for a long time.
While they were talking, Aunt Song and a few maids came in noisily.
"Aunt Song, you are here. It's really a bother for you." Lin hurried forward to greet her.
"Xiaobei is such a good kid. Even after getting married, she still cares about her family. You are a blessed person." Aunt Song said with a smile. A maid also said with a smile, "Yes, she brought something back home. She is really filial!"
As they were talking, several old women began to roll up their sleeves.
Ji Xiaobei was the host, so he had to lead by example. He rolled up his sleeves and took the lead in removing the two shaky door panels on the west wing. Holding one door in each hand, he leaned in front of the main room with ease.
The old women who were about to lend a hand were stunned. This man's strength was really no less than that of a man.
I looked at Ji Xiaobei's belly with envy, and admired in my heart that he really had strength because he ate well!
Ji Xiaobei felt a little embarrassed when being stared at. He blushed and said with a chuckle: "This is too much of a hindrance. Take it off so that I can work more easily!"
Everyone: A fool has his own luck, this must be Ji Xiaobei!
Clean out the old farm tools inside, sweep away the cobwebs on the roof, wipe clean the earthen kang that had not been used for many years, shovel away the thick dust on the ground, pour water on it, and tamp it down with feet, and also wipe the old window edges clean.
Lin helped, and Ji Xiaobei brought sweet water from the kitchen.
The so-called sweet water is Fanta soda mixed with water.
"Bei, what kind of water is that? It tastes so good. I feel like burping after drinking it... Burp! Oh my god, it feels so good!" Mrs. Song was the first to burp.
Several old women also stretched their necks and started burping.
Bubbling, burping sweet water, first drink.
"Bei, where did you get all these good things? Your husband's family must be living well, right?" Aunt Song couldn't help asking.
She has a little daughter who is 13 years old this year and is also old enough to get married.
