After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart
Chapter 50 The Thatched House Collapsed
Jiang Wan didn't expect that the land next to him had such a history.
The appearance of Xie Lan's parents was no longer clear in the original owner's mind.
But one thing is certain, that is, Xie Lan's mother is beautiful, cheerful, and treats the original owner very well.
Before the original owner was ten years old, he was taken by his mother to visit Xie Lan's house almost every day, and would stay there for most of the day.
The original owner was not welcome in the Jiang family, but when he came to Xie Lan's family, he became a popular person.
At that time, Xie Lan's mother had not yet given birth to Xie Xueling, and both gave birth to boys. Therefore, she doted on the original owner very much and treated her as her own daughter.
Not only did she make a lot of beautiful new clothes for the original owner, she also bought snacks and hair ornaments for her. Whenever there was something good, she would think of the original owner.
The original owner was still young at that time, and she would kiss whoever was nice to her, so the relationship between the original owner and Xie Lan was harmonious at that time.
Unfortunately, Xie Lan's parents went out to do business and encountered misfortune on the way and passed away early. After that, the original owner became estranged from Xie Lan.
Jiang Wan thought of all the memories and couldn't help but miss Xie Lan's mother.
The woman who always has a bright smile.
"So that's how it is. I shouldn't have asked."
Jiang Wan felt a little guilty.
Xie Lan's mother treated the original owner very well when she was alive. If Jiang Wan had known that the land purchase was related to her, he would not have let Xie Lan go to his uncle's house.
"nothing dealing with you."
Xie Lan shook his head slightly and asked, "Is the head of the village going to come tomorrow?"
Jiang Wan said: "It's okay, I'll tell the headman to wait when he comes. I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Although she was very anxious, she had to say it tactfully at the moment.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's rest early."
Xie Lan stood up and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Wan leaned his hands on the wooden table, staring at the slowly burning wick in a daze.
It rained the next day.
A cold autumn rain.
Besides, it’s already October and the weather is getting colder.
When Jiang Wan woke up, she looked up at the sky outside the window and thought it was still the middle of the night. She turned her head and looked across, and saw that Xie Lan's bed was already empty.
She took two thicker clothes and put them on, rubbing her eyes and walking to the door.
The sky outside was covered with dark clouds, gloomy and heavy, and raindrops as big as soybeans were falling down. It seemed as if someone had poked a big hole in the sky, and rain was pouring down continuously.
The yard was already filled with rainwater. If the threshold of the house had not been high, it would have flowed into the house long ago.
Jiang Wan ran along the eaves to the kitchen, where Xie Lan and Xie Jing were.
"You are so lazy, why do you stay in bed every day?"
While Xie Jing was lighting a fire, he glared at Jiang Wan with disdain.
Jiang Wan was too lazy to pay attention to him. She simply washed up with hot water and looked at the rain outside the door with some worry.
It’s raining so hard, the village head definitely can’t come.
It’s just as well that he didn’t come, but the construction of the yard will have to be postponed, and I don’t know how long the rain will last.
Xie Lan prepared breakfast, and Jiang Wan tactfully helped to bring the food to Jiang Weiran's room. They all had a hot and filling breakfast.
I can't go out on a rainy day.
So Xie Lan took out the book and started reading.
Xie Jing also wanted to learn to read, so Xie Lan wrote a few words for him and asked him to copy them on the ground holding a branch.
Xie Xueling chatted with Jiang Wan, and Jiang Weiran was also reading an old book. For a moment, the atmosphere in the house was quiet and peaceful, a rare reunion in the past.
Jiang Wan told Xie Xueling some fairy tales, while Xie Jing, who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy, frowned.
He was annoyed that Jiang Wan always distracted him, but the stories Jiang Wan told were so novel and attractive that he had to slow down his movements.
When Xie Xueling heard that Snow White fainted from the poisoning caused by eating the evil queen's apple, her face turned red with anger.
"The Queen is so evil! She actually let the princess eat a poisoned apple!"
Xie Xueling exclaimed.
Xie Jing couldn't help but say, "Don't judge a person by his appearance. The Queen is the princess' stepmother, but she has not fulfilled her motherly responsibilities at all. Not only did she drive the princess out of the house, she also wanted to kill her. Such a person with a beastly heart is really bad!"
Jiang Wan touched Xie Xueling's hair and warned her, "So Xueling, don't eat anything given to you by others when you are outside. No matter how kind and nice the other person looks, don't trust him."
"Yes! Don't worry, sister-in-law! Xueling has remembered it!"
Although Xie Xueling is a greedy person, she also knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Therefore, I kept Jiang Wan’s instructions in mind.
Xie Lan went to see the words written by Xie Jing.
The words on the ground were crooked, as if they were made up of several caterpillars wriggling together. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell what was written at all.
Xie Lan's face darkened a lot, and he scolded Xie Jing: "Xiao Jing, I asked you to write it ten times, but you haven't finished it in half an hour. And your handwriting is simply unbearable to look at."
Xie Jing was filled with shame and hurriedly explained: "Brother, I was actually practicing calligraphy seriously, but Jiang Wan was hindering me! It was all because of the fairy tale she told Xueling, and she drew all my attention away!"
Jiang Wan, who was implicated innocently: "..."
Xie Xueling stood up for Jiang Wan, "Shame on you, second brother! It's obviously you who wasn't paying attention, and you blame your sister-in-law! I didn't expect you to be such a person! Sister-in-law, let's go to my uncle's room to play, and don't bother my second brother here!"
Xie Jing was scolded by her younger sister. Her face turned red like a monkey's butt. She stammered and wanted to refute, but Xie Lan interrupted her.
"Okay, Xiaojing, you have to rewrite it. You are not allowed to go out to play until you have written it twenty times."
"Big brother!"
It was clearly ten times, how come there were ten more times? !
Xie Lan raised the book and ignored Xie Jing.
Jiang Wan didn't stay in the main room, for fear that Xie Jing would take the blame for her again. She took Xie Xueling's hand and went to Jiang Weiran's room.
The three of them chatted and laughed until dark, then had breakfast and went to bed early.
There was continuous heavy rain for three days.
In addition to the two adobe houses in Xie Lan's yard, the other two old thatched houses all leaked due to rain.
Not only was the roof leaking, but the water in the yard was also flooding inside.
Except for the first day when they had nothing to do, Jiang Wan and his companions spent the next two days dealing with the accumulated water in the two thatched huts.
All the pots, pans, and other containers that can hold water in the house were taken to the leaking area to collect rainwater.
Jiang Wan and Xie Xueling were in the kitchen, using wooden buckets and ladles to pour the accumulated water out of the house, while Xie Lan and Xie Jing went to another thatched house where sundries were stored to move things.
The four of them worked for two days and managed to stop the rain water from rising in the house.
The rain eased on the fourth day.
Jiang Wan cooked a few delicious dishes as a reward for everyone's hard work over the past two days.
Jiang Wan held the rice bowl in his hand, looking at the drizzle outside the door, and said worriedly: "Xie Lan, it looks like the rain will continue for a few more days. Can those two thatched houses hold up?"
Xie Lan put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up. "I'm going to ask Hunter Wang to help me repair the roof of the thatched house."
"Hey, wait a minute, the rain is so deep on this road, it might be inconvenient for you to go to the foot of the mountain to find Hunter Wang, you should wait until the rain stops."
Xie Lan shook his head. "The two thatched houses at home are at least ten years old. The roofs have been in disrepair for a long time. If they are left unattended, I am afraid they will collapse."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the thatched roof of a house outside the yard collapsed.
Xie Lan: “…”
Jiang Wan: "..."
