    The yard of Lin Ranran's house was no longer clean, but clanging started after breakfast, and the men were busy in the yard and on the roof.

    Since it is going to be remodeled, it must be completely remodeled at one time.  On the one hand, the supplies are provided by the brigade, and on the other hand, Lin Ranran is worried about Xiaoqiu's health. Although she doesn't know how long she can live here, Lin Ranran will not wrong her younger siblings and herself.

    The roof was patched carefully to make sure there would be no leaks.  The corners and the places in the yard that were drilled by mice were also filled in. All the sundries piled up in the yard and corners were cleared away, and a hibernating snake was found, which frightened Lin Ranran.  If it wasn't discovered in time, wouldn't the snake want to burrow into the house when the spring warmed up?

    Lin Ranran found medicine that can repel insects, rats and ants in the courier box in the space - she has a lot of food in the kitchen, and the most important thing to guard against is cockroaches and snakes, rats, rats and ants. Thank God she stocked up a big box.  Lin Ranran generously sprayed the powder and medicine in every corner of the house, especially the kitchen.  Tianshui Village is located in the south of the Yangtze River. According to Hongxia's sister-in-law, the kitchen is infested with cockroaches in summer. Lin Ranran will never allow this to happen in her kitchen.

    The courtyard wall of Xie's house is very high, and there are several carved door openings on the wall. Lin Ranran also asked someone to seal the gaps with wooden boards.  Although it is not beautiful, it can be safer. Now there are only three siblings in the house, and safety is the top priority in everything.

    After careful inspection, I found that after the house was smashed earlier, there were still many places damaged, and the furniture was not enough.  After Lin Dafu heard about it, he sent someone to find some old furniture and wooden boards piled up in the warehouse of the brigade, and asked Lin Ranran to pick them out by himself.

    In addition to the Xie family, there are several rich peasants in the village. Many good things in the family, as well as furniture and antiques from the four old feudal and Jian eras, were smashed, confiscated, and piled up in the warehouse to accumulate dust.

    Lin Ranran made a selection, saw the antiques and antiques, and was afraid of causing trouble, so she picked a low-key nanmu coffee table and long couch, and picked out a few good wooden boards, and asked Xie San, who is a carpenter, to help him  Make a furniture set.

    "Everyone has worked hard, let's take a break with a bowl of hot tea." Lin Ranran greeted with a smile, holding a teapot and a large stack of thick porcelain bowls.

    The light brown tea is steaming hot, exuding an attractive fragrance.  Now tea is no longer a high-priced commodity, but in the eyes of the country people, it is still as precious as white sugar, and they are only willing to take it out when entertaining distinguished guests.  Usually entertaining acquaintances and friends is just a bowl of boiled water, and if you are more enthusiastic, add a small piece of rock sugar.  There was tea in Lin Ranran's room, but she didn't dare to brew it.

    What she made today is brown rice tea, also known as fried rice tea, with a scent of barley and a faint burnt aroma, which quenches thirst and warms stomach.

    "It's troublesome!" The men put down their work one after another, lifted the hem of their clothes to wipe off their sweat, and drank the tea.

    After drinking a bowl of hot tea, I was sweating profusely!

    Lin Ranran walked to Xie San's side, he was still immersed in sawing a board, and his arm muscles bulged when he exerted himself.

    "Brother Xie San, why did you leave yesterday? You didn't stay for dinner." Lin Ranran brought a bowl of tea to Xie San and asked.

    "" Xie San put down the saw, wiped his hands on his clothes, took the bowl, put it in his mouth to drink, and heard Lin Ranran say again, "Do you think my cooking is not delicious?"

    Xie San froze, quickly raised his head, but saw Lin Ranran with a smile in his eyes, walking briskly towards the next person.  So he clenched the corners of his lips again, and swallowed back the "no".

    After working for a long time, Xie San was sweating profusely, so he simply took off his padded jacket and only wore a single shirt.  He is different from other men in the village, and he will not show off in the market shirtless during the dog days. This is one of the reasons why other people in the village criticize him - he is so particular about the young master of the landlord's family.

    He saw and saw, and suddenly realized belatedly that what Lin Ranran told him just now was a joke.  But he has no experience in talking and joking with girls, and he doesn't know how to answer. Every time he talks to Lin Ranran, she will be annoyed, maybe he'd better shut up.

    Lin Ranran was not aware of Xie San's mental activities, but found that Xie San became more silent in the following time, like a stuffy bottle.

    At noon, Lin Ranran made a meal of Sanhe noodles steamed buns, big bone radish soup, diced green pepper pickles fried in lard, vinegar cabbage, as well as sweet and sour shredded radish and spicy cabbage pickles.

    Lunch is simple, and the men are not particular about it. They sit in the yard or on the steps in twos and threes, each with a steamed bun, and eat voraciously with vegetables and hot soup.

    Lin Ranran also said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Hongxia has something to do today, so I will arrange lunch by myself. It's a little rough, everyone must have enough."

    "p; "I smashed my own things, what's your business?" Lin Ranran said angrily.

    Xie San silently glanced at her, bent over to lift up all the things on the ground, tidied them up, and then went to Lin Ranran and stretched out his hand.

    He was tall and his hands were like palm-leaf fans. Lin Ranran took a step back in fright, and his mind cooled down. Xie San didn't mean to hit her, did he?

    With a light hand, Xie San took the money: "This is the wages for cleaning wells and carpentry. I will finish the work."

    "You" Lin Ranran was a little confused by Xie San's 360-degree turn, and said angrily, "You don't come tomorrow. Brother Daguan can also work as a carpenter anyway."

    Xie San glanced at her, his tone was always cold and stubborn: "I will come."

    After speaking, he picked up his tools and walked away with long legs, the afterglow falling on his broad shoulders.

    "" Lin Ranran tugged at her neckline, why did she take so much effort to give out the ten yuan, and it made herself so angry.

    After this day, Xie San really became the resident of Lin Ranran's family.  The repair work on the house was over, but Xie San continued to work with his tools.

    However, except for accepting Lin Ranran's two white flour steamed buns and ten yuan that day, he refused to ask for anything from Lin Ranran.  Lin Ranran had no choice but to find ways to cook more delicious food. Every day, she used the excuse of "wasting too much to eat" to pack a bunch of steamed buns and vegetables for Xie San to take home.

    Xie San didn't expose her, but accepted it obediently, and worked even harder the next day.  After several times of back and forth, Lin Ranran also realized that his kindness could easily hurt Xie San's self-esteem, so he stopped pushing.

    After the cabinet is repaired, the table is repaired, and the table is repaired and the legs of the bed are repaired.  Lin Ranran found that his carpentry was really superb, and made small benches and long benches for the three siblings.  Lin Ranran selected a lot of wood boards from the warehouse, and he could recognize the wood. He also picked out a few camphor wood boards, saying they were old items.

    Lin Ranran looked at the camphor wood, and asked Xie San if he would open the box, Xie San nodded, wiped off his sweat and went back to work.

    In the past few days, Xie San has always come to report at home, and his work is in full swing.  Lin Ranran reckoned that Xie San liked to stay in Xie's house, after all, it was left by his ancestors, so he let him go.  The people in the village don't gossip, one is that there are too many men working in Lin Ranran's house these days, and the other is that the door of Xie's house is open, opposite to Hongxia's sister-in-law's house, the two children of Hongxia's family and Xiao Qiu  Running around in front of and behind Xiaojingwu is not a lonely man or a widow, so there is nothing to gossip about.

    Today is another good day, and there is a sweet sweet potato fragrance in the yard.  Lin Ranran steamed a hundred catties of sweet potatoes and made dried sweet potatoes in the yard.  Xiaoqiu, Xiaojing and Tie Dan watched around Lin Ranran.

    Lin Ranran cut up a sweet potato, and the children took a piece to taste, and ate the sweet ones together.  There are sweet potatoes with white flesh, red flesh and yellow flesh. The white flesh is not sweet, and the special noodles are thrown away in a pile.  The red flesh and the yellow flesh are particularly sweet, and they are all sugary. Such sweet potatoes are only delicious when they are dried into sweet potatoes.

    "Okay, don't be greedy, help me with my work." Lin Ranran said with a smile, "If you help me dry these dried sweet potatoes today, I will make milk potato balls for you tonight."

    The children cheered: "Okay~"

    The children washed their hands according to Lin Ranran's request, and placed the cut sweet potato slices on a clean bamboo sieve.  Xie San helped to build two shelves, put the bamboo sieve on it, and after the sweet potato slices were dried, they became pure natural dried sweet potatoes without additives.

    Xie San immersed himself in his work, listening to Lin Ranran babbling in his ears, they were all daily chatter, but he never tired of hearing them.  In this small courtyard, he temporarily forgot those class struggles, his heavy shackles, and the haze of the future.

    "Hey, the bamboo sieve is not enough, Tie Dan, go ask your mother to bring two." Lin Ranran said.

    "Okay! Let's go!" Tie Dan waved his hand, and several children ran out chasing him.

    "Ouch!" Tie Dan slammed his head against the meat-blocking wall, and a few children behind him ran into it like a train, and slammed on the brakes.

    Tie Dan covered his nose, raised his head, his eyes widened: "Who are you?"

    The face of the uninvited guest was cold, and there was an air of incompatibility with this impoverished mountain village: "I'm looking for Lin Ranran." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
