Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan was holding the oil lamp that was carefully covered. As soon as she left the house, she saw her mother, Wang, holding the oil lamp and her hair messy in the wind, hurriedly walking towards her.

"mother."

Mrs. Wang was blinded by the wind. She squinted at Cheng Wan and said anxiously: "Did you wake up from the cold? Is the quilt in your house enough to cover it? I have put firewood in the door of your house. Once it’s a little bit hot, if you wait a little longer, the kang will be hot in no time.”

"The quilt is enough to cover them. The three of them are sleeping. I'm going to look at the shed and then my milk, cough! And... there are horses and mules, cough!"

As soon as Cheng Wan spoke, he immediately took a breath of cold wind and couldn't help but cough twice in his throat.

Hearing Cheng Wan cough, Wang's face tightened, she ran to Cheng Wan in two steps, pulled Cheng Wan and walked into the house.

As they walked, Mrs. Wang said: "Over there with the horses and mules, as well as the shed, there are your father and your second uncle. Your second brother and third brother are also following you. I've also gone to see your milk house." , there’s no need for you, just go inside and warm yourself up, but don’t catch the cold!”

Cheng Wan was dragged into the house by Mrs. Wang.

After closing the door, the cold wind howled outside, and the warmth inside the house grew stronger.

"Quickly, get on the kang and sit under the quilt to keep warm."

Cheng Wan took off her shoes and got on the kang, comforting Mrs. Wang: "Mom, I'm fine. The cough I made just now was caused by the wind, not the cold."

Sitting down on the quilt, Cheng Wan looked at Wang who was pulling the quilts and tucking corners of Cheng Xiaoyu and Cheng Hua, and whispered, "Mom, just sleep here with the four of us. It's so cold outside, don't toss around." ”

Wang finally tucked Gu Yu into bed, then straightened up and said with a chuckle, "Okay, Mom will sleep with you for the rest of the night and won't go back."

Another sharp wind howl sounded outside, and the chuckle on Wang's face disappeared instantly and turned into worry.

"Why haven't your father and your second uncle come back yet? It's such a small distance, it's time to come back."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Ah Wan, Ah Wan, is your mother in your room?"

It's Cheng Daniu.

Mrs. Wang quickly picked up the oil lamp and walked out.

There was Cheng Wan in the house. Cheng Wan was already a big girl and it was difficult for Cheng Daniu to come in, so Wang just opened the door a crack.

By the light of the oil lamp, Wang was relieved when she saw that Cheng Daniu was okay outside the door.

Wang quickly asked at a volume that Cheng Daniu could hear: "How's it going? Is everything okay? Where are the other three, Erping, and Sanxiong?"

"Everything is fine. We hung thick curtains for the horses and mules, and used stones to press the corners of the curtains so that no wind can get in. The sweet potato shed is built very solidly, so there is nothing wrong there. The second brother and the three of them Let’s go back to the house first.”

"That's it. I'll sleep in Ah Wan's room and I won't go back. You should go back and rest quickly. The kang should be hot by now. Cover yourself with more quilts to avoid freezing."

The door was closed again, Wang quickly walked to the kang, took off her shoes and got on the kang.

"Don't worry about it. Your dad said everything is fine. Go to sleep."

The two oil lamps were blown out, and Cheng Wan lay on the kang, with the warm kang surface under him and a thick quilt on his body, but Cheng Wan couldn't fall asleep.

Cheng Wan's mind was in a mess, thinking about a lot of things?

The soybeans that have not yet been harvested at home, Village Chief Jia and others who don’t know if they have thick clothes and quilts, Cheng Daping in the military camp, and other refugees who may still be on their way and sleeping in the wild...

Cheng Wan fell asleep in a daze. When he opened his eyes again, he was awakened by the sound of Wang getting up.

In fact, Wang had already tried her best to get up and get dressed as gently as possible, but Cheng Wan didn't sleep well last night and her sleep was too light, so she woke up at the slightest movement.

Cheng Wan squinted at the sky outside. Through the window paper, it was not yet bright outside.

Cheng Wan propped himself up with his elbows and sat half-sitting.

"Mom, why are you up so early?"

Wang put on the last coat and whispered: "The temperature dropped suddenly at night. I have been very busy today. The beans in the field have probably been shaved to a bad extent. There is also the village chief. Your father and the others will definitely want to Went to have a look.

Your grandma and your father are already up. I'll help your grandma prepare the meal first. It's still early. You continue to sleep. I'll call you when the meal is ready. "

After saying that, Wang hurriedly left the house.

Cheng Wan pursed her lower lip, gave up on sleeping, got off the kang, neatly pulled her hair into a bun, put on the thick clothes that Wang had just made for her a few days ago, and walked out of the house.

As soon as I opened the door, a chill hit my face.

Cheng Wan stepped out of the house and quickly turned around to close the door tightly.

In the yard, Mrs. Xiao Lin is cleaning up the yard.

When Cheng Wan saw Xiao Lin bending down to pick up a thick branch that was broken by the wind at night, Cheng Wan's heart tightened and she quickly ran towards Xiao Lin.

"Auntie, you're pregnant! Don't do this. Just rest in the room and I'll take care of it."

With that said, Cheng Wan dragged the thick wooden branch towards the root of the fence.

Xiao Lin couldn't stop crying in her heart. She looked at Cheng Wan's back with fondness and said, "It's okay. It's not like I haven't been pregnant before. I was about to give birth to your second brother. I'm still here." Working in the fields, what does this mean? I am not that noble man who can't work when he is pregnant."

Cheng Wan did not argue with Xiao Lin about this issue. She glanced around and asked curiously: "Where is the second uncle?"

Cheng Wan did not doubt that Cheng Erniu had not gotten up.

Xiao Lin had already gotten up to work, and there was no way Cheng Erniu hadn't gotten up, otherwise Mrs. Lin would have personally entered his room and pulled him up by his ears.

Xiao Lin swept the yard with a broom and said, "I went to the fields with your father and uncle to look at beans, and your second and third brothers also went.

well! After this night, the beans in the field are probably almost destroyed! "

Sure enough, Cheng Daniu and the others didn't look very good after they came back.

Mrs. Lin came out of the stove with a plate in her hands. When she saw the expressions of Cheng Daniu and others, her heart sank, "What? Are they all destroyed?"

"Milk, the bean poles were blown down by the wind. There weren't many beans growing there originally, and there aren't many beans left in the pods, and the few beans that are left are not ripe at all. ! We spent so much time planting beans, and even paid people in the village to help plant them, but the result... I guess we won’t even be able to get back the beans we planted!"

Cheng Erping was so angry that he sat down on a stool and wiped tears.

There was silence in the courtyard.

"If you can't take it back, you can't take it back. Second brother, our busy work is not in vain, just treat it as plowing the land to prepare for next spring plowing.

The few beans in the field are taken back and we can use them to feed our livestock, which is just right.

What happened last night was something no one expected. We can't predict it, right?

We now have money in our hands, so we are neither hungry nor cold. Besides, didn’t I tell you that I still have a building on the street in Shuoyang City?

I have already found someone to renovate that building. Once the renovation is completed, I will start business. When the time comes, you will work for me and I will pay you wages.

Second brother, no matter what, our lives will definitely get better and better. "
