The whole family travels with me

Chapter 16 Rebuilding the House
Meng Sangpo looked grateful, "It's really troublesome for the village chief. I won't take advantage of everyone. Do you think it's okay to give me six cents a day plus a meal?"

"Okay, okay! Five cents is enough for me. If you give me one more cent, I guess everyone will be vying to go to your house to work!" The village chief laughed.

After sending Meng Sangpo away, the village chief's wife came out of the backyard and said, "Is Meng Sangpo getting rich?"

The village chief lowered his eyes and glanced at his wife, "It has nothing to do with us whether people get rich or not. Huang Ye is now working in the Major General's Mansion, and he has caught the eyes of noble people. He cannot offend, but must please him. Maybe we can ask for help in the future. When people ask us for help, we must do our best, don't be curious about others, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and if someone asks you, you have to help and stop them, do you understand?"

The village chief's wife curled her lips, and although she was not very happy, she still agreed.

Meng Sangpo thought that this matter would have to be talked about for a while, but she didn't expect it to be settled so quickly. On the way back, she happened to meet Xu Youpo. She hurriedly said: "Sister Xu, my family is planning to renovate the house. If your son and grandson are free, I will tell you." Remember to help me at my house. We will give you six cents and include a meal. Also, if your daughter-in-law is free, she can help me with the cooking. I can’t handle so many people with just one old woman."

Xu Youpo was surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked: "Why is it suddenly being renovated?"

Meng Sangpo sighed, with a look of helplessness on her face, "She's not that girl from Huang Ye. Our house is not safe and we don't feel at ease living in the snow in the winter. It just so happens that she has a master who can borrow money, so we can After thinking about it, I decided to just renovate it.”

Xu Youpo suddenly realized, "Huang Ye is right. How many years has it been since we were young? My house is fine. It can be strengthened every year. There are only two people in your house. How can you do such a thing?" Now that we can get the money, we can rebuild it, don’t worry!
Don't worry, I'll ask my son and the others to help later. "

"Thank you so much!" Meng Sangpo smiled broadly.

After separating from Xu Youpo, she returned home with a relaxed look on her face. Huang Ye was cooking. Meng Sangpo said: "The village chief has promised to find someone to help. He can even have the materials prepared for us. You If you have any requests, you can come and make them. By the way, I said we borrowed the money to build the house, so don’t let it slip."

There is only one old man and one child in their family, so it doesn’t take long for people to know that the family has so much money.

Huang Ye nodded, "Don't worry, I know it. People in the mansion know that I am Dr. Wang's apprentice. They dare not spread the news about me. As long as I don't tell anyone, no one in our village will know how much money I have."

"That's good, that's good." Meng Sangpo's last worry had dissipated. She turned around and took out the cloth and cotton batting that Huang Ye had brought back. She smiled from ear to ear, "I haven't seen such new cotton batting in many years. , it would be a pity to make only quilts. I can make you a coat. You have to go do things in winter, so you have to dress warmly."

Huang Ye said noncommittally, "It's up to you. Let's make one for each of us. If it's not enough, I'll buy it later. Also, we're not short of money now, so don't weave all the time. If it doesn't work, we'll pay."

Meng Sangpo still nodded as before, not sure if she really listened.

In the afternoon of that day, the village chief brought over all the villagers who were willing to work. Huang Ye counted them and found that there were almost fifteen. With so many people working together, it was estimated that it would be completed in a few days. Anyway, Meng Sangpo was here. She wasn't worried either.

Early the next morning, a bunch of people, men and women, came to the yard to work. This was the first time Huang Ye had seen such a lively house in such a long time. Seeing Meng Sangpo's happy face, Huang Ye couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Because of her hand injury, Meng Sangpo refused to let her work. She simply picked up the copybook and herbal collection and concentrated on studying.

The villagers were envious and awed when they saw it, and they kept saying compliments as if they were free of charge.

Huang Ye didn't want to disturb everyone's work, so she simply hid in the back of the mountain. When she returned home in the evening, she found that her home had completely changed. A straw shed was set up in the vegetable field in the yard, and all their belongings were piled in it. The house was bulldozed, and the two of them had to sleep in a straw hut at night.Huang Ye didn't care. Meng Sangpo's body couldn't withstand the torture. She frowned and said to Meng Sangpo, "Meng Sangpo, why don't you go stay at Xu You's house for a few days? They are here with us anyway." I will definitely not refuse if I work on the side.”

Meng Sangpo shook her head without thinking, "I have to stay here to look at things. Although there is nothing valuable, it is still my treasure! Come in and take a look, it is still quite warm, and there is no problem with living in it."

Huang Ye entered the thatched shed and found that there was an airtight small room inside, just enough to accommodate a bed, completely blocking out the cold wind, frost and dew outside.

"Look, it's still possible. I called two people to help me today and made a set of coats and a quilt for you. We can sleep together so it won't be cold." Meng Sangpo asked Huang Ye excitedly Look at the clothes and quilts.

Huang Ye touched a few handfuls and relaxed his frown, "It's really warm."

That night, the old and the young cuddled up together, covered with newly made quilts, and had a rare warm sleep.

Huangye got up before dawn the next day and was on her way. She had to work harder to earn more money so that Meng Sangpo could live a good life.

With such a vision, she was very motivated. When she walked in from the back door of the Major General's Mansion, she heard some servants gathering together and talking, Xiao Tao happened to be working on the side.

Huang Ye went over and said hello to her.

Xiao Taolima pulled her to the side and whispered, "Huang Ye, did you go into the mountains with Dr. Wang and others?"

"What's wrong?" Huang Ye was a little strange.

Xiao Tao's eyes were frighteningly bright, "It's about the big snake they brought back. I heard that the county magistrate came to our house to buy it after receiving the news. However, the county magistrate was too stingy and offered only 50 taels, but Lieutenant General Li threw him out. .

Yesterday, a wealthy businessman from Yuncheng spent 300 taels to pull the snake away!That’s 300 taels!I never dreamed that a snake could be worth so much money!Have you seen it? "

Huang Ye pursed his lips and nodded, "I've seen it before. I was on the side at the time. The snake's head was bigger than yours. The elite soldiers brought by Deputy General Li fought with the snake and seriously injured five people. Do you think it was powerful?"

"Hiss!" Xiao Tao was so frightened that her face turned pale. Looking at her like that, she was probably going to have nightmares at night.

Huang Ye patted her shoulder and comforted her: "There are no such scary things in our city. Don't be afraid. I'm going to get busy."

It took a while for Xiao Tao to come back to her senses. She wanted Huang Ye to be careful, but Huang Ye had already disappeared.

At this time, Huang Ye was trotting into Cuizhuxuan. Doctor Wang was probably still in retreat. The whole courtyard was quiet. She couldn't move a hand and worked slowly. It took her half a day to clean up the pharmacy and collect all the supplies that were about to be used up. Medicinal materials are recorded.
