The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Gu Pan’s leg injury wasn’t serious, but it wasn’t light either. I was afraid that he would develop a high fever after a night’s sleep, so he still had to see a doctor.

When Wang Wu sent the person back, he specifically told the Gu family to come to him if they had a fever.

It’s not that Wang Wu would take on all the responsibilities, but as a widower, it’s not convenient for him to do many things.

Brother Lin felt embarrassed to stay at the Yan family's house, but for Xiaobao's safety, he really couldn't live in this house anymore.

At this moment, Brother Lin and Yan Sanmei were packing up their things. Everything they were not taking with them had to be put into a big box, in case the roof leaked worse and was exposed to the rain again.

A set of bedding, two sets of clothes, plus food for her and Xiaobao, the packing list was not small.

Then there are the chickens and ducks in the yard, all of which are spring chicks that were just caught this year. Now, about a dozen of them are taking shelter from the rain under the straw shed.

"Take these to my house too. I have pen and ink at home. I can mark them one by one so they can be separated even if they are mixed together."

Yan Sanmei helped catch the chickens and ducks, and was surprised to see two big ones: "I heard from Xinghua that almost all the chickens and ducks in the village died, I didn't expect you still have two left."

Speaking of this, Lin Ge'er also felt that he was lucky: "During the New Year, I wanted to make a new cotton-padded jacket for Xiaobao, so I sold all the chickens and ducks at home, leaving only these two, which I wanted to keep for Xiaobao to eat. When there was an epidemic in the village, I was worried, but I never thought that they would lay eggs every day and nothing would happen."

Yan Sanmei was so envious. Why didn't she sell all the chickens and ducks in advance? She still feels heartbroken when she thinks of the twenty or so chickens that died at home.

Brother Lin grabbed the two hens and tied up their wings with ropes. He then handed over a dozen eggs that were stored in the house to Wang Wu who had returned: "Please deliver these to the Gu family. If they need money for medicine later, I will pay for it."

Since he came to help and got injured, it's only right to give him some nourishment, but Wang Wu only took a chicken: "You can take the other one to Yan's house. My Luo Ge'er over there said he would give me a rabbit as a replacement. When your chickens and ducks grow up, then let my family take advantage of it."

These words were naturally not said by Luo Ge'er, after all, Luo Ge'er didn't know that Gu Pan was injured. It was just that Wang Wu felt that although the Yan family was kind-hearted, Lin Ge'er would definitely be very welcome, but it would not be good to go there empty-handed without any expression.

The villagers value give and take. For someone like Lin Ge'er who has a hard life, it's natural for his husband to lend a hand with the work since they have a good relationship. But if he always helps one-sidedly, he will always feel unhappy.

However, compared with many women in the village, Lin Ge'er is a pretty good person. Although his life is a little hard, he is not stingy at all. Every time Luo Ge'er brings Dongdong over, he goes back with a full belly.

Brother Lin thanked Wang Wu. Actually, he did not go to Yan's house empty-handed. He had several pieces of bacon in his backpack, all of which he intended to bring to the Yan's family.

The rain lasted for seven or eight days before it stopped. Fortunately, it was only light rain afterwards, so the crops whose roots were washed out were buried with soil, so it was not too troublesome.

Brother Lin also has an acre of dry land of his own. Once he has finished it, he will go to help the Yan family on their land.

Yan Zhengdao held Xiaoyuer at home and told Xiaobao stories. Some of them were hearsay, while some were personal experiences.

As he was talking, he mentioned twenty years ago: "At that time, your grandmother Guizhi had just gotten pregnant with her second child. The heavy rains like the ones we've seen in the past few days lasted for nearly a month. Our Anning Town is located on high ground, so only some crops were destroyed, but the villages next to the riverbank suffered greatly. The heavy rains destroyed the dams, and in the end, only a few people were left in more than a dozen villages."

Xiaobao seemed to understand what he said, but nodded obediently.

Yan Zhengdao reached out and touched his head. "The dam was destroyed and had to be repaired. Many of them were forced to do corvée labor and never came back."

Xiaobao blinked: "Where did you go?"

Children don’t understand life and death, and don’t understand what not coming back means. Yan Zhengdao didn’t intend to really explain it, so he just smiled and said it casually.

"Maybe he feels that he has not lived his life to its full potential, so he wants to start over again in another place."

"I hope the dam won't collapse again this time. If I'm forced to do corvée labor again, I'll just let the soldiers carry me over."

Yan Zhengdao sighed. He didn't want his son to suffer that at all.

As soon as the rain stopped, Lin Ge'er went back and opened all the doors and windows, and lit a fire to get rid of the moisture in the house.

After two days of sunshine, the work in the fields was basically done.

"I went back a few days ago to tidy it up, and after drying it for a few days, it should be habitable. Xiaobao and I will go back tomorrow."

"Why go back?" Zhao Guizhi pulled Xiaobao to her side and said, "The beams in your house are all eaten by insects. I'm not saying this to be harsh, but if a few beams break one day, you will be trapped underneath and you won't know how to cry."

“It shouldn’t be that serious, right?” Brother Lin actually thought that since it wasn’t raining and no one was stepping on the beam, it shouldn’t break.

"Who can say for sure? Anyway, there are many rooms in our house. If you don't want to sleep in the same room with Third Sister, I can clean up Xiaobei's room for you. At worst, Xiaoge's yard is empty, and there are still several rooms in the old house. I will clean up whichever room you want to live in."

Lin Ge'er felt that living here would cause too much trouble to the Yan family, but when Zhao Guizhi said this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never had the right to choose for himself, whether in his mother's home or in-laws' home. He really envies Yan Sanmei and Xiao Ge'er for having such a good mother.

"Thank you, Auntie. If you need any help, just let me know. You can't just stay here for nothing."

Zhao Guizhi couldn't help laughing: "There's a lot of work to do. First of all, you have to help light the fire when I cook."

Yan Zhengdao was also very happy that Brother Lin was not going back for the time being, as there was nothing to do due to the rain, and his chess friends had turned from adults into children.

As a four-and-a-half-year-old kid who couldn’t read a single word, Xiaobao first learned how to recognize chariots, horses, elephants, and cannons.

When Xiaobao was defeated again, his face wrinkled up. He looked up at Yan Zhengdao and it took him a long time to utter: "Again."

Although this kid is still a bad chess player, he has good perseverance and Yan Zhengdao is quite happy with his game.

Yan Zhennan looked at him for a while and curled his lips: "Dad, Xiaobao is only four years old. You have eaten more salt than he has eaten rice. You should at least give him a few chess pieces."

"How many do you want to give up?" Yan Zhengdao rolled his eyes at his second son.

"Four, minus two chariots and two cannons." Yan Zhennan tried hard to get it for Xiaobao.

"Why didn't you tell me to put the general directly in the front?"

"That makes sense." Yan Zhennan nodded seriously: "A general leading troops into battle should be at the forefront. This chess rule doesn't work."

Yan Zhengdao was so angry that he laughed: "Which general have you seen at the front?"

"Zunyuan Hou." Yan Zhennan said with reason: "Lu Zhicheng said so."

Yan Zhengdao: “…” He was speechless.
