Li Li said, "Your cattle and sheep are all kept outside. Without anyone watching, they are vulnerable to thieves. I can help keep an eye on them if I live over there."

Song Yan touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "It's just that the roof of the old house collapsed under the weight of the snow."

In the past, when An Qi swept the snow, he would also sweep the old house as well.

Yesterday, Song Yan was sweeping the snow and forgot about the old house, and a small part of the roof was crushed by the snow.

When he got up today, he found that the collapsed area had expanded a little and there was a lot of snow accumulated in the house.

Li Li said, "It's okay. It's still early today. I'll go clear the snow and find some stuff to temporarily repair the roof. When the weather gets warmer, I'll do a thorough repair."

Seeing that Li Li insisted, Song Yan did not force him and went to the woodshed to get a ladder.

Li Litai took it and put it on his shoulder. He walked quickly to the old house, leaned the ladder against the wall, and climbed onto the roof with skillful movements.

Diagonally opposite the Niu family.

Ah Niu was also sweeping snow in the yard. When he saw what was happening here, he walked to the fence and called out, "Brother Song!"

"Hey!" Song Yan turned around and waved his hand.

Ah Niu came over with a broom in his hand and asked, "Brother Song, are you repairing the roof?"

Song Yan said: "Yes, the snow damaged the roof."

Ah Niu put down the broom: "I'll give you a hand."

"No, no, I have Brother Li here." Song Yan said half-jokingly, "You are tall and strong. If you climb up again, you will crush my roof."

Aniu scratched his head and said, "Then I'll go back to sweep the snow. Brother Song, if you have any problems, just call me." After that, he turned around and walked back.

Song Yan also picked up a broom to sweep the snow in the yard while talking to Li Li upstairs.

"The one who just came over was Ah Niu, who lives across the street. He has a dull personality, but he is honest and reliable."

Li Li echoed: "It can be seen that this is a down-to-earth and reliable young man."

Song Yan smiled and said, "When I'm not around, if you have any problems, just tell Ah Niu and he will definitely help."

Li Li said he had made note of it: "Okay."

At this time, Ah Niu came over again, holding a few pieces of wood in his hand, and said, "Brother Song, these are the leftover wood at home. Do you think they can be used?"

"Thank you, Aniu." Song Yan took the wooden board, "It's just right for use."

Soon, the snow was cleared, and Li Li took the hay and wooden boards handed to him by Song Yan and began to repair the roof carefully.

After the roof was repaired, Li Li came down from the roof and brushed off the snow on his body.

"That should be all right now," he said.

Then he packed his luggage and moved into the old house.

Song Yan introduced: "There is another room inside, but there is no bed. The one on the right is the kitchen, which is convenient for heating water and taking a shower."

Li Li nodded and looked around. He then noticed the bunk bed in the room. He reached out and patted it: "Your bed is nice."

Song Yan said: "Before, the place was small and one bed was too crowded, so I asked Uncle Niu, that is, A Niu's father, to help make this bed so that two people can sleep in it."

"Brother Li, if you don't have a good sleeping posture, don't sleep on it, otherwise you may fall down in the middle of the night." He reminded.

Li Li laughed: "Don't worry, I will sleep well and won't fall down."

"Okay then." Song Yan continued, "Brother Li, clean up first, I'll go get you a bed and quilt.

Li Li responded, put his luggage up, and began to tidy up the house. After all, he hadn't lived there for a while, and the house was covered with dust and cobwebs.

After a while, Song Yan came in with a thick quilt and put it on the bed.

It was almost noon at this time. After delivering the quilt, Song Yan hurried back to prepare lunch.

To welcome Li Li, Song Yan took out a chicken from the refrigerator and searched for spices such as cinnamon, star anise, and pepper.

He cleaned the chicken carefully, placed it on the chopping board, and cut it into small, even pieces with his knife.

"Erya, come here and make a fire." Song Yan shouted.

Song Wanzhou responded and ran over, sitting in front of the stove skillfully and adding firewood into the stove.

Song Yan then started to wash the rice and cook it.

Song Wanzhou held his chin and asked, "Brother, does Brother Li want to live in our house?"

Song Yan said without even looking up, "He lives over there in the old house. He will take care of the cattle and sheep in the future. I will buy some mountain sheep in a few days and ask Brother Li to help take care of them."

"Oh." Song Wanzhou blinked thoughtfully and asked, "Then Brother Qi won't come back?"

Song Yan paused and said, "I don't know."

Song Wanzhou wrinkled his nose and muttered, "Next time Sister Shu comes, Brother Qi will come too."

Song Yan was holding a kitchen knife and cutting green onions, somewhat absent-mindedly. When he heard the words "Sister Shu", his hand suddenly slipped and the sharp blade cut his finger.

"Hiss!" Song Yan took a breath of cold air, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground with a clang.

Seeing this, Song Wanzhou's eyes widened with fear and he quickly ran over: "Brother, you are bleeding!"

Song Yan frowned, and said while enduring the pain: "It's okay, don't panic."

He quickly took out his handkerchief and pressed it on the wound to stop the bleeding. Fortunately, the cut only hit the finger cap and the wound was not deep, so the bleeding stopped quickly.

Song Wanzhou watched nervously from the side, his face tense: "Brother, are you really okay?"

Song Yan comforted her, "Don't worry, it's just a little skin breakage, it's nothing serious."

As he said this, he put away the blood-stained handkerchief and continued cooking.

After a moment, he said nonchalantly, "Don't call her Sister Shu from now on."

Song Wanzhou's heart was filled with alarm. She pursed her lips and said, "Brother, did you have a fight with Sister Shu?"

Song Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Children should stay out of the adult's business."

Song Wanzhou asked cautiously, "Did Sister Shu do something to make you unhappy?"

Song Yan frowned, looking a little tired: "Erya, some things are very complicated and cannot be explained in just a few words."

Song Wanzhou looked at Song Yan and sensibly stopped asking questions, but he still couldn't help feeling curious.

At this time, the food in the pot made a sizzling sound. Song Yan grabbed the spatula and stir-fried it a few times, saying, "Erya, go get the salt."

Song Wanzhou hurried to get the salt and handed it to Song Yan.

Song Yan added some salt to the pot, continued to stir-fry for a while, and then served the dish.

Soon, the food was ready. Song Yan brought the dishes to the table and called out, "Erya, go and call Brother Li to come for dinner."

Song Wanzhou responded and ran out to call Li Li.

Li Li walked into the house and saw the delicious food on the table. He rubbed his hands and said, "This is really a sumptuous meal!"

Song Yan greeted, "Brother Li, please sit down. You're welcome."

Everyone sat around the table, and Song Yan served Li Li a bowl of rice.

Li Li picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. He was immediately amazed and nodded in praise: "It tastes really good, Xiao Song, your cooking skills are really good."

Song Yan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li, I'm glad you like it. This can be considered as a welcome treat for you.

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table and said, "I'll use tea instead of wine. I'll toast you."

Li Li also quickly picked up the teacup.

Everyone drank it all in one gulp, and Song Yan continued, "Brother Li, I'll have to ask you to take care of the cattle and sheep at home from now on."

Li Li patted his chest and assured: "Brother Song, don't worry! I will take good care of the cattle and sheep and make sure they are all fat and strong."

Song Yan smiled and said, "I feel relieved after hearing what Brother Li said."

There was nothing else to do in the afternoon, so Li Li saw that there was not much firewood left in the woodshed, so he took the initiative to pick up an axe and start chopping wood.

When Song Yan saw this, he quickly said, "Brother Li, you just arrived, take a rest first, I'll do the work."

Li Li waved his hand: "Xiao Song, I have nothing to do anyway, this is nothing."

Song Yan did not stop him. She just gave Brother Li a few words of advice and turned to enter the flower hall.

He took out the medicine box from the kitchen in the space, found the disinfectant and gauze, treated the wound, and went into the house to take a nap.

He casually placed the blood-stained handkerchief on the table, planning to wash it after waking up.

When Song Yan woke up, she found that the handkerchief on the table had disappeared!
