The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak
Chapter 975: Rainy Days
"What did he say?"
"Humph, he implied that these people were living well, saying that they had meat for three meals a day, that they earned more copper coins than those in South City, and that they lived in bamboo-paneled houses with stairs. He also asked me to be as shameless as Uncle Ge to encourage everyone. Now that everyone has fallen to sleeping on the street, how can I have the face to encourage everyone?"
Shang Xi is thick-skinned, but definitely not as thick-skinned as Ge Dongqing. Shang Xi brought these people who trusted her here, and her heart was tormented with self-blame and guilt. If she was asked to do something against her conscience again, Shang Xi simply could not do it, especially when facing these simple and honest workers. Shang Xi had to think twice before speaking and doing things. So when Shang Xi knew that everyone had no shacks to shelter from the rain, she would rather sacrifice her own rest to build houses for everyone. Just like she said, if she didn't know how, she could learn, but she couldn't just sit back and watch.
Cheng Feng burst out laughing. "Uncle Ge has been making big promises to everyone. His slogans are so loud. The strange thing is that everyone likes to hear him make big promises. But except for the lack of a house, everything else is good. Everyone is quite satisfied. After all, they have two taels of silver in their pockets and have land to plant. What makes them happiest is that they can catch up with the last crop of this year."
Shang Xi said, "I figured it out. Your uncle schemed against me again. He asked me to come and see everyone, actually to let me build houses for everyone. He knew that I felt guilty and soft-hearted. Seeing that everyone had no place to live, I would be anxious, so he took on the job. Originally, he wanted to ask me for help, but your uncle, that old fox, mocked me and said, 'You can build brick houses, but you are not good at bamboo boards. You can't do this.' Isn't it infuriating?"
Cheng Feng said: "It's infuriating. I think you should not take this job. Stay at home and accompany our son."
"Cheng Youning doesn't need my company. He disappears with his followers every day. I don't know what this child learns all day. Instead of having so many people waiting for me to build a house, I should do something serious."
Shang Xi knew very little about bamboo houses, but she was humble and eager to learn, and within three days she had started building bamboo houses with her team.
Unfortunately, it started to rain just a few days after the construction started. The first few days were fine, and the strong sun could bake people. But the weather suddenly changed in the next few days, and it rained heavily. The construction of the bamboo house was forced to stop, and Shang Xi had to return to the prefect's mansion. She locked herself in the house like she did in the past and began to study the bamboo house.
Cheng Youning was not affected at all by the heavy rain for several days in a row. He always found something fun to do. He wore a big bamboo hat and ran in and out of the house, making the ground wet.
"Mom, come with me to play in the water. It's fun."
Shang Xi looked at Cheng Youning's shoes, which were soaked with water inside and out. She then looked at Cheng Youning's clothes, which were still dripping with water. "Cheng Youning, I didn't notice you. How did you get into this state? Your clothes and shoes are all wet. I hope you won't catch a cold."
Cheng Youning stamped his feet on the ground, the water in his shoes still splashing out, he said excitedly: "Mom, no, I'm steaming."
"Change your clothes and warm up inside the house."
Cheng Youning stretched out her cold little hand and grabbed Shang Xi and said, "Mom, I don't want to change. I want to go out and play in the water. You can come with me. It's raining hard outside. It's fun."
"Your hands are so cold, don't go out, you'll catch a cold." Shang Xi covered Cheng Youning's hands.
At this time, Cheng Feng came in and said, "Don't catch a cold. Children need to be tough. When we were in the village, the children would run outside on rainy days, and we rarely saw any children catching a cold or having a fever."
When Cheng Youning saw Cheng Feng coming in, he reached out to pull Cheng Feng, "Daddy, come with me to play in the water, it's fun."
Cheng Feng straightened Cheng Youning's big bamboo hat and said, "Daddy won't go. Daddy is too old to play in the water. You and Qiao Rong can go and play."
Seeing that his parents didn't go out to play, Cheng Youning said, "Then I'll go find my grandparents to play in the water with me."
Cheng Feng laughed: "Your grandparents are too old to play in the water. I think we should find someone else."
Cheng Youning thought for a moment and said, "Then I can only go find my master. Apart from my master, no one else can play in the water with me."
Cheng Feng slapped Cheng Youning on the butt and said, "Go ahead. Come back when you feel cold."
"I know, I know." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out of the house.
Cheng Youning had been with his followers for a long time, and he knew where to find his master. In weather like this, his master would definitely not torture himself by getting wet in the rain on the roof, and it would be even more impossible to find him in the tree. At this time, his master must be with his grandfather.
Cheng Youning's lightning-fast figure appeared in front of Wan Lianxing, splashing the water off his body onto Wan Lianxing's face, "Little Grandpa, where is my master?"
Wan Lianxing raised his hand and wiped his face, "You kid, you went outside in the rain again."
"Little Grandfather, it's rare to have heavy rain these days. My grandson likes playing in the water. Where is my master?"
Wan Lianxing moved his chin and pointed to a wooden couch, "He's lying there pretending to be dead."
Cheng Youning took a look and saw that his master was lying there with his eyes closed, looking bored. His motionless appearance and pale face made him look like a dead person.
Cheng Youning tiptoed over and placed his cold little hand on the follower's neck. The follower was so frightened that he sat up from the couch. His eyes, which looked like dead fish, also changed obviously. "Evil disciple, are you going to murder me, your master?"
"Hehe, Master, I'm here to go out and play with you."
"What fun is there in this heavy rain? I can't go up to the roof or climb a tree. Oh! I'll just get wet in the rain if I go out."
"It's so much fun to get wet in the rain. It's so cold. Master, come with me and play in the water."
The attendant lazily fell on the wooden couch and said, "It's okay to go to the lake and step on the water, but how much water can be stored in this yard? It's boring."
The follower's eyes, which were like dead fish, lost their spirits instantly. He looked like he had nothing to do and no desire to live. He was very bored. The follower, who was usually invisible, had been lying under Wan Lianxing's nose for four days. Wan Lianxing was fed up with it. "Follower, take your apprentice out to play in the water. Don't look so lifeless."
The attendant shook his head and said, "I hate rainy days the most. I don't like going out to play on rainy days. I don't know how many days it will take for this heavy rain to stop. Ugh! It's so annoying."
Seeing the follower sighing, Cheng Youning turned his attention to Wan Lianxing, "Little Grandpa, come with me to play in the water. It's fun."
