The little ancestor of the family

At dawn the next day, Ye Xinran went to see the village head with the picture she had drawn.

Yesterday she talked about building a bridge for the mountain spring water. She drew a simple picture based on the shape of the canal she had in mind.

"We can use stones to pad the bottom and cover it with bamboo strips. It's also better to use bamboo strips to reinforce the channel on the mountain, otherwise it will easily collapse due to erosion by the stream. Stones can also be used here..."

After Ye Xinran finished speaking, the village head suddenly understood.

"My niece is right, let's do as my niece says!"

Ye Xinran didn't react at first. When she came to her senses, she pointed at her nose and said, "Niece? Me?"

The head of the village smiled and said, "Yes, you should call me uncle, so I will call you niece. This is reasonable, right?"

"Okay! Uncle Lizheng, I won't be polite if there's anything I need from now on."

"Why are you being so polite to me? I don't know how to thank you for what happened this time!"

After the plan was finalized, the village head began to arrange people to do the work.

The people in the village were divided into three groups. Erzhu led a team of young people to the mountains to cut bamboo and repair bamboo strips. Xiao Huaian led a team to reinforce the canal. The head of the village himself took a few people to fill the potholes and build a small bridge.

In order to prevent any more animals from digging up the bridge, they moved several large rocks to block the passages on both sides of the bridge.

After what happened yesterday, many people have witnessed Xiao Huaian's abilities.

The young man who worked with him kept coming closer and said, "Brother Xiao, you are so capable. Yesterday you killed a wild boar with just one hoe. Can you teach me?"

"Yeah, Brother Xiao, why did you run so fast yesterday?"

"Brother Xiao is so capable, can you teach us something?"

Since Xiao Huaian came here, he has not interacted with the villagers much. Faced with so many questions, he only answered with a cold face:

"Let's talk about it later."

Ye Xinran agreed on behalf of Xiao Huaian, "When my head of the family has time, he will teach everyone in the future."

The boss.

This word sounded fresh and interesting. After Ye Xinran finished speaking, Xiao Huaian couldn't help but look at her.

"Just do as my wife says," he said.

Everyone worked very hard, and before the sun was about to set, all the channels had been paved with bamboo strips and the water bridges had been built.

At a command from the village head, the people on the mountain moved away the huge rock that was blocking the spring, and the water in the spring immediately gushed out.

The water flowed like a silver dragon, roaring all the way to the foot of the mountain. Changping, Changan and other children saw the water flow and ran as fast as they could, wanting to bring the good news to the adults before the spring water arrived.

After going down the mountain, the water flow began to slow down. The sunlight reflected the sunset and shone on the water, on the smiling faces, and on the rice fields that had been dry for many days and finally had water.

The land that had been thirsty for a long time was like a bottomless pit. The water that was poured in at the beginning was sucked into the ground. After a long time, the water in the field slowly filled up and flowed into another field through the gap.

Seeing the rice in the fields drinking water, people felt as if they were eating delicious food, and happy smiles appeared on their faces.

"Great, there's finally water this time!"

"The head of the village really has a solution."

"The Huai'an family still has a solution!"

"Mom, when we have new rice this year, can we make a meal of dry rice?"

"Eat! Wait till the rice comes down and you'll be full!"

……

No one noticed that just as everyone was enjoying the joy of the moment, a figure hurriedly left and ran out of the village.

The affairs in the village finally came to an end. Xiao Huaian packed up his things and went to the mountains the next day.

On the night before departure, Xiao Huaian hesitated for a long time, and finally found Ye Xinran, and said hesitantly: "Thank you, can you give me some of the cakes you made last time?"

"Like to eat?" Ye Xinran was a little surprised. Didn't Chang'an say that he didn't care about food?

"Ok!"

Xiao Huaian turned sideways and nodded.

Ye Xinran found it a little funny to see him looking a little embarrassed.

It seemed like he had been thinking about it for a long time before saying it.

Although she laughed, Ye Xinran still got up early the next day and made more than 200 pancakes for him, including scallion pancakes, sesame paste pancakes, and beef pancakes. In order to express her gratitude for the taels of silver, Ye Xinran generously took out abalone and prawns from the space and made him a seafood pie.

After breakfast, Xiao Huaian did not go directly to the mountain with the cakes, but walked a few miles to Wang's Bakery in the town and bought 10 Zhou Ji donkey meat hot cakes.

When he arrived at the wooden house on the mountain, a man was already waiting there.

When Lin Shu saw Xiao Huaian coming, he snatched his package and started to look through it.

"Mr. Xiao, why did you come just now?

It's been three days. Do you know how I spent these three days? The dry food I brought was finished by noon the next day. If you don't come, all you will see is my shrunken corpse. "

"Don't worry, you won't die if you starve for another three days." Xiao Huaian expressionlessly snatched the scallion pancake from Lin Shu's hand and handed the bag of donkey meat BBQ to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu took a bite of the fire cake, his eyes still fixed on the scallion pancake in Xiao Huaian's hand:

"Huaian, how about I trade the meat pie in my hand with you?"

"no!"

Xiao Huaian refused without hesitation.

"You gave me half last time, why are you so stingy this time?"

"If you don't like what you have in your hand, I won't take it next time." Xiao Huaian took a bite of the scallion pancake and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu quickly put the sesame cake in his hand into his arms and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll just eat mine. But why did you take so long to come up this time? I thought something happened to you!"

"Help the village find water."

"You really think you're a member of this village!"

Lin Shu was shocked.

"It's just a small favor." Xiao Huaian obviously didn't want to explain any more, "Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?"

"Brought it!"

Lin Shu said this and took out a few banknotes from his pocket.

"Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. You said before that the money couldn't be touched. Now that you've just gotten married, you've forgotten what you said before. Are you a henpecked man?"

Lin Shu had an expression of enjoying a good show.

Xiao Huaian was not moved at all when he heard this: "You said at the beginning that you would marry a virtuous wife. If she is not virtuous, you can just divorce her. Why are you wandering outside now and don't even dare to go home?"

Lin Shu looked as if he had eaten a fly; the donkey meat BBQ in his hand no longer smelled good.

"Don't mention my tigress. No, you did it on purpose, didn't you? I just mentioned it, is it that serious?"

Xiao Huaian finished the cake in his hand and clapped his hands: "The food has been delivered, you can go back, I still need to go to the mountains to take a look."

"What's the rush!"

Lin Shu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Let me see how your legs are."
