Chapter 9 The Qi Family’s Past
  Xia Yuping was sent away here, and Xia Ye went home and took Xia Xiaojun to the house at the foot of the mountain.

Compared with the two houses next to Lao Xia's house, this place is much larger.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and Xia Ye's requirements are not high. Just repair it and make it habitable.

The first is to re-pave the roof with a layer of goat grass, and the second is to build a pot table and a kang. The winter here is quite cold. If the heat preservation work is not done well, a person can freeze to death in winter.

There are also some tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, etc. in these two rooms, all handmade by myself. Although they are not very beautiful, they are still quite practical.

After taking a rough look, Xia Ye ordered Xia Xiaojun to go back and get the sickle and rope. He had to take advantage of this moment to quickly cut some goat grass. In addition to covering the roof, he also had to cut the grass into pieces, dig it into the mud, and re-paste the wall. One layer, this will prevent cracking and keep you warmer.

When the two came back from cutting the goat grass, they saw Qi Yunshan and Qi Yunjing leading several villagers to mix mud in the yard, and there were a lot of bricks piled on the ground.

"Uncle Yunshan."

"I'm going to cut the goat grass. I'll bring a few people to help you set up the kang and the stove. It can be done by burning it for a day and a night. Put the goat grass aside for now, and let your uncle Yunjing go up to the room to spread it later. .”

Normally, the Leymus chinensis should be dried before being put into the house, but seeing that the autumn harvest is about to begin in a few days, there really is no time to wait any longer.

Xia Ye was also very touched. She remembered the village chief's kindness to them and would definitely repay her in the future.

When Qi Yunjing was called, he stood up and raised his eyebrows at Xia Ye. He took the goat's grass from the two of them and started braiding it. This was going to be put on the ridge of the roof. It was easy to work by braiding it into pieces.

"It's okay to move out, otherwise you won't be able to live there all day long. If you don't want to tell me anything in the future, just go to your aunt at home.

I heard your Uncle Yunjing say, do you want to send Xiaojun to school? "

"Well, I'm old enough to go to school, and I can afford it. I can earn work points."

Qi Yunshan looked at Xia Ye and said nothing, but nodded.

Time passed very quickly during this work. Xia Ye thought that the time was almost up, so she wanted to go back to cook. They were all here to help, so they had to worry about a meal.

Before Xia Ye left, Aunt Guihua from the village chief's family came over.

"Auntie, why are you here too?"

"I thought I'd come over and tell you that I've made dinner for tonight, so don't worry about it and just follow your uncle and the others to my house for dinner."

…………

Xia Ye was really embarrassed to have other people help her with work and also have to go to other people's homes for food.

"Auntie, Xiaojun and I caught a rabbit during the day. I'll take it back later and add some vegetables."

Xia Ye knew that she couldn't refuse, so she might as well not be coy. If she owed him a lot of favors, she would pay them back slowly in the future.

"No, don't forget, I also bought a rabbit. I can eat a few more pieces at night. It's quite expensive."

Qi Yunjing's voice was not loud, and only Xia Ye and Aunt Guihua heard it. Guihua didn't know what was going on, so she thought he said it specifically to tease Xia Ye.

But Xia Ye didn't understand. His rabbit was 'bought' from her, and it was a very expensive rabbit.

"Xiaojun, go home and take the rabbit to Uncle Yunshan's house. If you don't want to eat it today, keep it for tomorrow. If you don't accept it, aunt, Xiaojun and I will be embarrassed to go to your house for dinner at night."

Aunt Guihua was about to say something when Qi Yunjing continued to interrupt.

"You don't want any money this time?"

Xia Ye: ..., he is quite a good person, he has a mouth.

Originally, Xia Ye expected to work for two or three days, but it was basically done in one afternoon. When Aunt Guihua came over to greet her for dinner, the kang noodles had just been wiped.

Xia Ye and Xia Xiaojun can complete the rest of the cleaning work. "There are still a few pieces of glass left. Yunjing, you go to the town tomorrow to check it out. If you can get it, buy two pieces back."

Qi Yunjing accepted his eldest brother's order and readily agreed. He also looked at Xia Ye and said, "Whether you want to go or not, I will take you around the town."

Xia Ye thought about it. Xia Xiaojun was going to school tomorrow. She could also take this opportunity to go around the town and see if she could get some of the food in her ten acres of fertile land. She had to prepare in advance for her and Xia Xiaojun. She had a winter coat, last year’s was much smaller, but she didn’t have a ticket.

After having dinner at the village chief's house, Xia Ye and Xia Xiaojun were not in a hurry to go back to sleep. Instead, they transported all the firewood they picked up during the day to the house at the foot of the mountain.

There were two kangs and one stove, and Xia Ye planned to light a fire here overnight so that she could start moving when she came back from town the next day.

Xia Xiaojun was asked to go back to sleep, but Xia Xiaojun refused.

"Sister, why are Uncle Yunshan and Uncle Yunjing so good to our family?"

Xia Xiaojun might not know it because he was young, but Xiao Xiaye knew something about it from her mother's mouth.

When the two of them were young, they were in the same situation as they are now. Their father died, but their mother gave up their five children and remarried without hesitation.

Qi Yunshan is the eldest in the family, Qi Yunjing is the youngest, and Qi Yunjing has three older sisters.

Qi Yunshan is 38 years old this year and Qi Yunjing is 22 years old. There is a sixteen-year age difference between them.

Qi Yunjing was only two years old when the accident happened. Fortunately, Qi Yunshan, who was already eighteen years old at that time, and his three younger sisters were able to do the job, and their days were manageable.

Qi Yunshan and Xia Yumin had a good relationship since childhood, and they often helped the five brothers and sisters of the Qi family.

Anyway, it's impossible to say who owes whom. In the hearts of Qi Yunshan and Xia Yumin, they have long been closer than brothers.

"Just go to school and go to school. There is a sister left. Don't think too much. You are already small. It is useless to worry about it. If you are careful, you won't grow taller in the future."

This was Xia Xiaojun's happiest day since his parents died. He could stay away from such a family and go back to school the next day. His round eyes were full of light.

Seeing that Xia Xiaojun was really not ready to go back to sleep, Xia Ye directly spread a thick layer of hay on the kitchen floor, then went back to get the bedding and spread it on the floor, letting Xia Xiaojun sleep on it.

After Xia Xiaojun's breathing stabilized, Xia Ye added more firewood and consciously entered the ten acres of fertile land to check.

Unexpectedly, I heard a series of beeps as soon as I entered. Looking for the sound, I walked to the room with the big screen at the end of the warehouse.

An avatar flashed crazily on it.

"Hello."

"I need salt and fire."

"Can it be traded?"

"Are you there? I can exchange meat and fur."

…………

The entire page was filled with the other party's messages. Xia Ye was filled with hatred for the rich. How many points did the other party have? How dare he leave such a message? If it were her, she would have to be precise to thirty characters for each sentence.

Click on the other party's avatar and detailed information will pop up.

It turns out that the other party is called Amu and lives in the primitive plane...

Touch your chin on a summer night, salt and matches? Make a note of it and go stock it the next day.

Two more batches of grain have matured in the ten acres of fertile land and have been collected into the warehouse. Xia Ye decided not to collect them until she went to town to check the situation.
