After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Xie Lan took a big step forward, and Jiang Wan followed closely behind.

As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, Jiang Wan saw that the roof of the thatched house to the west where miscellaneous items were originally stored had collapsed.

Fortunately, Xie Lan had moved all the items out early, so there was no loss.

"Ah! The house collapsed!"

Xie Jing and Xie Xueling ran out and looked at the collapsed thatched house with sad faces.

When they first came to the yard, there were no adobe houses as there are today. The collapsed thatched house was the main room where Xie Jing and Xie Xueling lived when they were young.

"Brother, our family will be short of a room."

Xie Jing's tone was low.

He was not only reluctant to leave the thatched house, but was more worried about what would happen after the house collapsed.

If a room is missing, it means it has to be rebuilt.

But rebuilding the house costs money.

Even though Xie Lan had money on him, in Xie Jing's mind, that money was reserved for Xie Lan to study for the imperial examinations, and not a single cent could be touched.

Studying is very expensive, and in order to support Xie Jing and Xie Xueling, Xie Lan never spent any money on himself.

Now that Xie Lan has this opportunity, Xie Jing doesn't want his elder brother to spend money on useless things again.

"It's okay. It's okay if it's less. Anyway, my little sister and I are living with my uncle now, so there are enough rooms in the house."

Xie Jing talked to himself, and no one knew who he was comforting.

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Little guy, do you know how old you are now?"

"Twelve, what's wrong?"

Xie Jing answered very quickly and didn't even react to Jiang Wan calling him a shorty.

"Where's Xueling?"

"Xue Ling is eight years old!"

Xie Xueling held Jiang Wan's hand and answered softly.

Jiang Wan pinched her palm and said to Xie Jing, "Xue Ling is already eight years old, and you still let her sleep with a man? Although you and my father are not strangers, there are differences between men and women. It is best to sleep separately from a young age. Otherwise, as she grows older, it will easily have a bad influence on Xue Ling."

Xie Jing was stunned. He had never thought about this before.

In the past, their family was poor and there was only one room and bed to sleep in, so the three brothers and sisters all slept in one bed.

Now that our family’s living conditions are better than before, I didn’t expect that we have become more particular about things.

Xie Lan glanced at Jiang Wan approvingly, "You're right, Xueling is getting older, it's not good for her to have sex with a man all the time."

"Brother, you want to build a house?"

Xie Jing tried to test Xie Lan's attitude.

Xie Lan nodded without hesitation, "Yes, the old house just happened to collapse, so we can build a new one and save the effort of demolishing it."

Xie Jing became anxious and opened his mouth to say something, but Jiang Wan pulled him to the back.

"Xie Lan, since we can't buy the land next door, why don't we just build a new house in your yard? I think this yard is quite big. If we demolish the kitchen and rebuild it, we can build at least four new houses. But the size of the rooms needs to be replanned..."

Jiang Wan looked at the spacious courtyard in front of him and fell into thought.

A hint of smile appeared in Xie Lan's eyes, but he hid it very well and it was almost invisible.

"The kitchen is old, it would be good to rebuild it..."

Before he could finish his words, the kitchen on the east side could no longer bear the weight of the water on the roof. With a "crack", the main beam broke, and the entire roof folded in half from the middle, with the two ends rising up, and rain water leaked into the house.

"The kitchen collapsed!"

Xie Jing exclaimed and quickly ran into the kitchen to get something.

Xie Lan and Jiang Wan also followed in big strides.

Let’s not worry about building the house for now; the pots and pans in the kitchen are important.

Several people worked until dark and finally took out all the scattered items in the kitchen.

The kitchen collapsed, so cooking and boiling water were temporarily unavailable. Xie Lan temporarily built a simple stove in the main room and boiled a full pot of hot water.

Several people were soaked by the drizzle the whole afternoon. If they didn't take a hot shower and change into dry clothes in time, they would probably catch a cold.

Jiang Wan helped Xie Xueling take a bath, and Xie Lan helped Xie Jing take a bath. After the two children finished bathing, they were sent to Jiang Weiran's room, and the two adults were left to take care of themselves.

Xie Lan didn't rush to take a shower, but put on a straw raincoat and a hat and went out.

Jiang Wan took a bath first and then boiled a pot of hot water again.

She set up a small stove and boiled a pot of ginger water.

As the weather was getting colder and the two children were caught in the rain, she was worried that they would catch a cold, so she bought some cold medicine from the mall.

The cold medicine in the mall is similar to the xxx cold medicine in the previous life. It is in powder form and will melt directly when poured into ginger water.

Jiang Wan asked both children to drink it. Xie Xueling licked her lips unsatisfied and asked her why it was so sweet.

When Jiang Wan heard what she said, he knew that she was hungry, so he went to find a few more snacks and gave them to Xie Xueling.

Xie Jing looked at his younger sister eating snacks with great satisfaction, his saliva almost flowing down, but because of Jiang Wan's presence, he forced himself to hold back and did not say a word.

As soon as Jiang Wan left the house, he immediately said to Xie Xueling, "Little sister, is the mung bean cake delicious?"

Xie Xueling nodded honestly, "It's delicious."

Xie Jing: "How delicious is it?"

Xie Xueling: “It’s just delicious.”

Xie Jing: “…”

Jiang Wan, who hadn't walked far yet, said: "..."

Half an hour later, Xie Lan came back.

He took out a large clay pot from his arms and placed it on the table.

"I went to Fourth Aunt's house and told her about the house collapse. They said they would come to help when the weather cleared up. I gave them half a tael of silver, and we'll be eating at her house for the time being."

Jiang Wan opened the pottery jar, which contained steamed buns made of a mixture of black flour and corn flour, and a plate of stewed radish.

Jiang Wan was a picky eater, so she didn't have much appetite when she saw the dishes, but she didn't dislike it. She broke off half a steamed bun and ate it while saying, "Fourth Aunt's family has quite a few people, and it's not good to keep eating her food. Even though you gave her money, given Fourth Aunt's personality, she will definitely save it. How about this, I'll send some food over when the time comes, and let Fourth Aunt make a separate pot for us."

After she finished speaking, she added, "Don't worry, I will definitely give Fourth Aunt some hard work money."

Xie Lan's eyes were tinged with a smile, "This is between you and Fourth Aunt, I have no right to interfere."

After spending some time together, Xie Lan knew that Jiang Wan was picky and would not eat much if the food was slightly inferior.

Xie Lan had lived a hard life before, so he didn't care much about food, as long as he could fill his stomach.

But since Jiang Wan came home, she has had meat for at least one meal a day, and she doesn't eat much of the staple food, corn rice, but eats more white flour and glutinous rice.

Looking at Jiang Wan's bulging cheeks from eating steamed buns, Xie Lan inexplicably thought of the little white rabbits jumping back and forth in the mountains in spring.

Unfortunately, Jiang Wan is not a little white rabbit, but more like a little fox that preys on little white rabbits.

Jiang Wan took a few bites of the black and yellow steamed bun and his throat started to hurt from choking.

She gave up eating steamed buns and ate snacks instead to fill her stomach.

She asked Xie Lan to drink ginger soup, and then took the food to Jiang Weiran's room.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to bed early.

The rain finally stopped the next day.

But there was a lot of rainwater on the ground, and Xie Lan and Xie Jingguang spent a whole day draining the water.

It takes two or three days of clear weather for the soil on the ground to be considered dry.

This morning, the sky was clear with white clouds and the temperature was cool.

Fourth Uncle Xie brought his two sons to help Xie Lan clean up the collapsed thatched hut.

Jiang Wan was just about to go out to find the village head, but unexpectedly the village head showed up with a few people.
