The next day, Ye Fan woke up. It was bright and clear, and Dabao's voice, "Sister, come quickly, sister, watch" came from outside. Ye Fan rubbed the corners of his eyes to wake up from sleepiness, and came out fully dressed, "Dabao, where is your dad?"
"Dad went shopping for groceries. Mom, the sun is shining on your butt." Dabao pointed at his little face, but didn't say clearly whether he was ashamed or not.
Ye Fan raised his hand, and the two children ran out laughing.
Less than a kilometer away from the seaside, Ye Fan quickly stopped the two of them: "Don't go out." Although the fence couldn't stop them, at least they didn't have to worry about being hit by reckless teenagers outside or the occasional passing car.
"I know."
Ye Fan: "Have you two washed your faces?"
Dabao took his sister back to the courtyard: "Dad said he should wash it with mom."
Ye Fan didn't know when Geng Zhiye left, and naturally didn't know when he would come back. When he saw the calcium milk biscuits on the table, he decided to boil water first and make some biscuits for the two children.
Ye Fan had never used a ground pot in this life. She had seen it in her previous life, when eating ground pot chicken. But yesterday when Geng Zhiye was boiling water, she looked at it. He put the rice straw in first, and Ye Fan also grabbed a handful and stuffed it in, rowing it. Matches and rice straws burned quickly, Ye Fan was satisfied, and the ground pot was not too troublesome.
Ye Fan stuffed a few pieces of wood and went to wash his face and brush his teeth. However, when she came back, there was not even a flame under the pot. Ye Fan couldn't believe it, so he grabbed a handful of rice straw and stuffed it in. Thick smoke came out, choking her and almost crying.
"Mom, there's so much smoke!" Dabao, who was chasing his sister outside the door, ran in and covered his nose and eyes, "Mom, are you lighting the fire? Dad said to wait for him to come back."
"What our family is lacking - cough -" Ye Fan opened the window, "Your dad doesn't know when he will be back. You go out first. Mom will be fine in a while."
Dabao covered his mouth and nose and shouted: "Dad said you can't. Mom, what are you doing? Come out!"
"Brother!" Erbao ran in, and Dabao saw his sister burst into tears, "Mom, I don't care about you anymore!"
Ye Fan saw that the smoke in the kitchen had subsided: "Take my sister out first, and my mother will boil some water."
"Just show off!" Dabao stamped his foot angrily, grabbed his sister and ran out. But he was worried and turned back to threaten: "I'm going to tell dad!"
Ye Fan didn't even raise his head: "Go ahead. I don't believe it can be done!" He stuffed a handful of pounded straw under the pot, lowered his head and blew: "Bah!" He raised his face with ashes and quickly covered his mouth and nose, "This pot Are you going to fight me?”
Dabao took his sister and stared at the kitchen under the eaves of the living room door for a while, then sighed helplessly, why is the pot against you? It's a shame that you still say that dad is tough-talking, but you are the undercooked duck. Dabao didn't talk nonsense to her, let go of his sister and ran out. Erbao subconsciously followed him out: "Brother, wait for me."
"I'm looking for daddy." Dabao pressed his sister's shoulders, "Brother will be back soon."
Erbao looked at the thick smoke coming out and was very uneasy: "My brother and I are together."
"Brother, run away." Dabao turned around and ran away. Dabao was forced to stop when he almost bumped into someone outside the fence yard. A young lady who was about the same height as his cousin Geng Huihui asked: "Sister, where is the vegetable market?"
"Are you going to the vegetable market?" the little girl couldn't help but ask: "Are you a child of Uncle Geng's family? Where is Uncle Geng?"
Dabao: "My dad is at the vegetable market. I'm looking for him. My mom is going to order the house."
The little girl subconsciously raised her head and saw thick smoke coming from the chimney, "Is it on fire?"
Dabao shook his head: "If dad doesn't come back, he'll be on fire." There's another sentence Dabao didn't say: It's a small matter if he catches fire, but it's a big deal if his mother chokes herself to death.
"Well, I know where the vegetable market is. I'll go there. You two, you two are not allowed to come out or go in. Wait here." The little girl turned around and explained as she ran.
Geng Zhiye was about to buy rice and oil when he saw his political commissar's daughter chasing her like a wolf from behind, so he grabbed her and said, "Watch the road!"
"Uncle Geng? Hurry, go home quickly, your family is home——"
"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly."
"Your house is on fire."
"Fire?" Geng Zhiye's expression suddenly changed: "Ye Fanfan! Tell her to wait for me to come back -" He ignored the political commissar's daughter and rushed home at the speed of chasing the enemy. The neighbors on the left and right were at the gate of his fenced yard, seeing him seven They asked nonchalantly: "Captain Geng, are you not at home? Why are there so many cigarettes? There is much less smoke now, just like there was a fire."
"Dad!" Dabao rushed over, "Come quickly, mom is inside."
Erbao chased after her: "Mom is disobedient! Beat her!"
"When did you take the opportunity to apply eye drops?" Geng Zhiye saw that the house was not on fire and the two children were fine, and his heart slowly relaxed, "Wait for dad here."
Dabao grabbed his dad. Geng Zhiye couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"Things." Dabao pointed to the basket in his hand.
Geng Zhiye looked down and put down the basket: "I didn't forget it. Just look at it. Your mother must be embarrassed to come out."
Ye Fan couldn't stand the thick smoke in the kitchen and thought of waiting for Geng Zhiye in the courtyard with the two children. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in the living room, I saw several women and children outside through the window. Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, and his neighbors arrived.
After hearing what Geng Zhiye said, Ye Fan waited for him to come in and kicked him over. Geng Zhiye instinctively blocked it, grabbed a slender leg, and reacted: "Are you comfortable hiding in the house? You want to save face and suffer!"
Ye Fan raised his hand to hit him, Geng Zhiye let go of her leg and took her hand: "Don't make trouble. What's going on?"
"I encountered a ghost."
Geng Zhiye choked for a moment: "That's nonsense! There are cooking teams, logistics, fishermen on the island, thousands of gay men, with so much yang energy, who dares to act like a monster on the island." As he spoke, he went to the kitchen and subconsciously squinted his eyes: “I don’t know how to open the window.”
"It's open!"
Geng Zhiye squinted his eyes and asked, "Why is there still smoke after you open it?" He squatted in front of the stove and suddenly felt dizzy. "How much did you put in?" He quickly pulled out the wooden stick.
There was air under the pot, and the rice straw finally stopped drying without fire. Geng Zhiye put it in in one breath. When the rice straw caught fire, he put a wooden stick in, and then put two handfuls of rice straw in succession. When the wooden sticks lit, he added another Put a wooden block, "Okay."
Ye Fan couldn't believe it: "So fast?"
Geng Zhiye said helplessly: "See for yourself."
Ye Fan saw that the stick was indeed on fire: "This pot is not suitable for me!"
"...Is it possible that you don't know how to use it?"
"I also lit the rice straw first and then put the firewood! If you don't believe me, ask Dabao."
Geng Zhiye opened his mouth: "Dabao is only four years old! Don't talk about Dabao yet. Dabao didn't tell you to wait for me when I come back?"
"It's not a big deal to light a fire. I need you to teach me step by step." Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him.
Geng Zhiye wanted to say: "How come you are burning like a fire? Have you learned it now?"
"You didn't teach me!" Ye Fan blurted out.
Geng Zhiye choked up and said, "Be reasonable. The Dabao and the second treasure are still waiting outside. I won't argue with you."
Ye Fan felt a little embarrassed when he said it, but when he saw this, he said confidently: "There's nothing wrong with burning the stove. That's the only way to say that everything is ready."
Geng Zhiye stopped, turned around and looked at her angrily and funny, with his hands on his hips. Ye Fan felt uncomfortable and whispered: "Tell me again."
"Don't put so many rice straws at one time. Don't put so many wooden blocks either. The wooden blocks are too damp and the bottom of the pot is full. It would be weird if there is no smoke coming out."
Ye Fan couldn't help but asked loudly: "Then why didn't you tell? Geng Zhiye, did you do it on purpose?"
"Don't disturb the situation unreasonably. What were you doing yesterday when I was lighting the fire? Dare I say it with a cold face?" Geng Zhiye looked helpless.
Ye Fan pretended to be impatient: "Call Dabao and Erbao in quickly."
There was no thick smoke in the room, and Geng Zhiye was worried that the stick would fall off halfway and the pot would be knocked to the bottom by Ye Fan. He did not dare to stuff the wood into it: "Watch the firewood."
"It's broken!" Ye Fan hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Geng Zhiye's heart suddenly rose to his throat: "What happened again?"
"I seem to have picked up the water ladle and put it down again, forgetting to scoop out the water."
Geng Zhiye hurriedly passed her, opened the lid of the pot, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Ye Fan shook his head, "I was confused. You should wake me up earlier."
Geng Zhiye was speechless.
"Set a good example to the second treasure." He stretched out his hand to wipe away the ashes on her nose. Ye Fan hid back and Geng Zhiye laughed angrily: "Can I still hit you?" He pressed her head with one hand and said, "Light a fire." Xun’s face is gray, you can do it”
"Dad, are you okay?"
Dabao's voice came in, and Geng Zhiye stepped out: "It's okay, go in." He went to the courtyard gate and explained to the neighbors, "The rice straw and firewood are too damp. Ye Fan wants to dry the wood, but he is worried about putting it outside to bake it. Dabao Erbao is baked inside.”
The little girl who went to call Geng Ye couldn't help but ask: "Hasn't Aunt Ye burned the fire?"
"There is no firewood in the city, we all burn coal." Geng Zhiye thanked the little girl and said, "It's okay, let's go."
The political commissar’s lover asked: “Did you forget to turn on the bellows?”
Ye Fan doesn't know the bellows. Besides, there is no need to turn on the bellows to boil two ladles of water. Geng Zhiye nodded: "I was so busy that I didn't think about it." He picked up the vegetable basket and prepared to go back to the house. Everyone saw this and said goodbye, but they didn't move even half a step.
Geng Zhiye pretended not to see it and went in carrying the vegetable basket. There was green smoke coming out of the chimney. The neighbors looked bored and dispersed in twos and threes.
Ye Fan came out of the kitchen and looked out through the window: "Everyone is gone? Did I become famous in one battle?"
"What do you think?" Geng Zhiye took out the things, "Wash their faces and brush their teeth, make some biscuits for cushions, and I'll buy rice and oil."
Ye Fan said nonchalantly: "I also want to boil hot water and make biscuits for them."
"Mom——"
Ye Fan interrupted: "Geng Dabao, you scold me and I haven't settled the score with you yet, what else do you want to say?"
"Sister, let's throw sandbags in the courtyard." Dabao picked up the sandbags on the ground and dragged his sister out angrily.
Geng Zhiye couldn't help laughing.
"Go buy rice!"
Geng Zhiye suppressed a smile and said: "The thermos bottle has not been used. Please scald it with hot water and then flush it."
"Am I stupid?"
Geng Zhiye said to his heart that he was quite silly sometimes. Before Ye Fan could see it, he carried the basket and went out again.
Several children of the political commissar were playing at the door, and Liao Miaomiao, the little girl who went to find Geng Zhiye, asked in disbelief: "Uncle Geng, are you still going to the vegetable market?"
It seems that Ye Fanfan is really famous. Geng Zhiye wanted to laugh inexplicably: "I can't do it if I don't go. I haven't bought rice or oil yet. The first and second treasures are too young. Please help me watch them and don't go to the beach."
Liao Miaomiao said seriously: "Uncle Geng, don't worry, I will take good care of my two brothers."
"Dabao is the younger brother, and Erbao is the younger sister."
Liao Miaomiao exclaimed, holding the fence and looking into the yard: "But they are very similar."
"You and your brother are alike." Geng Zhiye reminded helplessly.
Liao Miaomiao couldn't help but said: "I'm stupid." She shouted inside, "Brother Dabao, sister Erbao, come out to play."
Before, Liao Miaomiao helped call Geng Zhiye, but now Geng Zhiye asked Liao Miaomiao to look at Dabao and the second treasure. Dabao's little brain analyzed that the little sister is a good person and can play with her. Dabao pulled his sister out: "What are you playing for?"
Liao Miaomiao was dumbfounded by the question. In her impression, it was good for such a young child not to make trouble. She talked about playing, but she was actually prepared to watch her little brother and sister play by themselves.
"Can you throw sandbags?" Dabao asked, looking up.
Liao Miaomiao looked at Dabao's three-headed body and hesitated to speak. Wouldn't hitting him with a sandbag really knock him away? "Yes. Should you throw it away or should I throw it away?"
Dabao: "Er Bao and I are on one side, who are you on the other side?"
Twelve-year-old Liao Miaomiao let her eight-year-old brother go out, leaving her six-year-old sister behind: "Sister Erbao is weak and can't throw it far, how about you two?"
Erbao was unconvinced: "I can!"
Dabao glared at the silly sister, isn't it bad to have more than one person?
"I didn't say you couldn't." Dabao pulled his sister, "Where are you going?"
Miaomiao took a stone and drew a line: "Right here." After drawing the line, she asked, "You first, me first?"
Dabao stretched out his hand: "Rock, paper, scissors."
Liao Miaomiao's younger brother and sister didn't want to play with the little one. They looked at each other and saw that the little one was really good at throwing sandbags.
Not only does the little boy know how to do it, he can also feint a shot. Although they lost the guessing game, they were able to kill the two Liao sisters in two strokes. It was the first time since Miao Miao's younger brother played with sandbags that he won so easily.
Liao Miaomiao picked up the sandbags and stood outside the line, completely confused. She wanted to say Geng Dabao, you are cheating, but Dabao is four years old, two years younger than her youngest sister. She is not old enough to go to preschool, so she can only go to school. Small nursery school.
Liao Miaomiao didn't want to admit it but couldn't help but said: "Dabao, you are as smart as Uncle Geng."
"I am as smart as Ye Fanfan, my grandma said."
That's it! The sandbag in Liao Miaomiao's hand flew towards Dabao. Dabao quickly hid behind his sister, and the sandbag fell to the ground with a clatter. Her sister picked it up and complained: "Don't throw sandbags while talking."
Liao Miaomiao wanted to say that she did it on purpose, but who would have thought that the little devil is not easy to deceive: "Who is Ye Fanfan?"
"My mother." Dabao said without looking back.
Liao Miaomiao guessed it and still asked deliberately: "Who are you talking about?"
"My mother!" Dabao dodged the sandbag and ran to Liao Xiaomei before turning around, "My mother's name is Ye Fan."
Erbao said loudly: "It's still called Fanfan."
Ye Fan filled up the thermos bottle and was about to ask the two children to come in to wash their faces, brush their teeth and eat biscuits. When she heard this at the door, she moved to the window and saw the two children busy throwing sandbags, so she washed her face and brushed her teeth first.
Geng Zhiye was worried that Ye Fan would be brave again, so he bought rice and a pound of rapeseed oil bottled with salt water and rushed home. When you see Dabao and Erbao at the door, tell them to continue playing, and call them when the meal is ready.
Dabao threw down the sandbag: "I'm hungry."
"Didn't eat any cookies?"
Dabao nodded: "Mom didn't call us. Dad, Ye Fanfan must be angry."
"Ye Fanfan wasn't angry at first, but he was angry because you called her Ye Fanfan. Since you haven't eaten, just bear with it for a while. Dad bought tofu fish and razor clams before, and the razor clams were eaten at noon. I will make tofu fish now." After Geng Zhiye finished speaking, he went inside.
Liao Miaomiao couldn't help but ask: "Dabao, can Uncle Geng cook?"
"I will." These days in the capital, Dabao often sees his father in the kitchen, "Let's continue."
Liao Miaomiao: "Are you not hungry anymore?"
"Mom didn't ask us to eat biscuits, and she didn't give them to us when we got home." Dabao picked up the sandbags, "My mother is the cruelest. Grandma and grandma love me and Erbao the most." He paused to take a breath, and then said, "Sister-in-law and aunt It hurts us too.”
Geng Zhiye gave the basket to Ye Fan and got up late to collect the fish: "Did you hear that?"
"It's not the first time the little bastard has said that. I'm used to it." Ye Fan said.
Geng Zhiye saw that the two boxes of calcium milk biscuits were not opened, just like before he left: "You haven't eaten either? Eat some cushions, it's not that fast. You still have to buy a stove to bake clothes for Dabao and Erbao. It's easy for them to play around with clothes. Dirty, not much change of clothes.”
“Just wash it at night.”
Geng Zhiye pulled off the head of the tofu fish: "The rainy season is coming soon. It will rain endlessly."
"Is there one on the island too?"
Geng Zhiye: "It's not far from the shore. The rain over there can reach here."
Ye Fan poured two ladles of water into the sink: "I didn't forget to buy the basin."
"The tables, chairs and benches cannot be transported from the shore, so I have to trouble furniture factories and fishermen. I asked the fishermen on the island to make them. It's time to make them. With firewood, I bought rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. I brought Yizimijiazin from home, what else am I missing?”
Ye Fan looked at the living room and then at the empty kitchen: "There is no smoke at all." Seeing that there was still one bucket of water left from the two buckets he picked up in the morning, "Why don't you pour it into the vat?"
The child was too young, and Geng Zhiye didn't sleep much day and night. Although no one cares about children these days, there is no guarantee that families who cannot have children will not take desperate risks. Geng Zhiye was very tired. He brushed the tank yesterday and didn't want to move: "I didn't brush it."
Ye Fan held the pot-sweeping tool: "Do people in the Northeast use this to sweep the kang?"
"People in the Northeast use sorghum to make it. No one grows sorghum here, so it's different." Geng Zhiye said, "I'll do it."
Ye Fan ignored him, making him look like he had three heads and six arms: "I have never used such a big tank before, and I know how to clean it."
I quickly cleaned it inside and out, but how to pour the water out of the tank was a problem. Geng Zhiye wiped his hands, glanced at her helplessly and put the vat down. Ye Fan was shocked: "So rude?"
"Otherwise, how would you get the water out from underneath and rinse it again?" Geng Zhiye poured the water into the bucket. "I'll buy a bucket of water for washing pots another day."
Ye Fan poured the remaining half bucket of water into the vat, and both buckets were completely empty.
Ye Fan's hometown in his previous life was a small town with neither mountains nor sea. When he grew up, he studied in the capital and worked in the capital. As soon as I open my eyes in this life, I am in the capital. I have never seen live tofu fish in my life, let alone handled it. "I don't know how to cook this fish. You can cook porridge and fish. I'll carry water."
But you haven't carried water either. Geng Zhiye couldn't help but said: "Wait for me——"
Ye Fan interrupted: "I know it! I can still carry it by hand if I don't know how to use a pole. I can't carry two buckets, so I can't carry two half buckets?"
Just don't be pushy.
Mr. Geng Zhiye set the fire and the wood blocks were burning. He washed the rice and cooked the porridge, then took apart the soy sauce bottle, washed the onions, ginger and garlic. When the porridge was boiling, he used a small pot to braise tofu and fish - the Geng family earthen stove has two pots, one large and one small. Cook porridge and stir-fry in a small pot.
Little did he know that Ye Fan was upset when he left the house - he had never used a well in his life and did not think of asking Geng Zhiye where the well was.
Think about where the woman carrying water came from yesterday, and where Ye Fan went with the pole and the bucket.
Huangtian paid off his hard work, and Ye Fan found the well after just a few minutes of wandering.
The well was muddy with people walking back and forth carrying water. There was a possibility of mud falling in at any time. Ye Fan deeply doubted whether the water was edible. You won't get diarrhea after boiling it. Ye Fan put down the water bucket on his carrying pole and slowly moved to the edge of the well to look in. It was so clear that he could see the figures clearly, so it should be fine.
"Who? What are you doing?"
Who? Howling early in the morning. Ye Fan looked up and saw a young woman walking from a distance and pointed at her: "That's you! Who are you? What are you looking for if you don't fetch water?"
"I -" Ye Fan lowered his head subconsciously, and used force on his feet as if his body was unstable. Suddenly, his feet slipped, and with a plop, he disappeared on the spot.
The woman striding over was startled, and realized something when she saw the two buckets: "Come on, come on, someone, someone fell into the well, come on, someone -" "Who jumped into the well?" Zhong, who was carrying the bucket, A young woman came running from a distance, "Who jumped into the well?"
The young woman subconsciously wanted to explain. I thought I would yell at the legendary evil female agent when I met her, but she accidentally fell down. After she fell, I saw two buckets behind her. She was really here to fetch water.
"Yes, I saw someone jumping into the well, and I didn't recognize him either."
The middle-aged woman stretched her neck and took a look: "Oh my god - isn't this Commander Geng's lover? Quick, quick, find something quickly. Commander Geng's lover, don't panic, don't panic, just float up like a swimmer. I'm going to find something to pull you up." As he spoke, he looked behind him. There were only two poles behind him. "You, go find the rope."
"I didn't push her down. I wasn't at the well when you came. You have to make the decision for me." The young woman grabbed her arm and said.
The middle-aged woman pulled her away: "How long have you been talking about this? I - I can't pull it by myself, call someone, find a rope!"
"Oh, okay, I'll call someone! Come quickly, Commander Geng's lover jumped into the well, please save him!"
Liao Miaomiao was about to feint two shots and then throw the sandbags out, when she faintly heard "Captain Geng", "Brother, Dabao, how many Commander Geng do we have here?"
Captain Geng stuffed the firewood inside and came out to see where Ye Fan had gone with the water: "There is only one regiment on the island."
"Then why did someone call Captain Geng to jump into the well? Uncle Geng, are you Sun Wukong?" Liao Miaomiao teased.
Geng Zhiye smiled: "Say-" The smile froze as he thought of something: "Dabao, has your mother never come here?"
Liao Miaomiao: "Aunt Ye is going to carry water - water? It's broken! Uncle Geng -"
"Don't follow! Watch the second treasure, Dabao." Geng Zhiye roared and ran towards the well. He saw many women, but Ye Fan was not there. Geng Zhiye's knees felt weak. It must not be her! Geng Zhiye staggered and squeezed in: "Who is in the well?"
The middle-aged woman who had been comforting Ye Fan by the well grabbed his shirt: "Captain Geng? You - you can't jump. What if you hit her so hard? Rope, give you the rope, you put the rope down, Tell her to grab the rope and come up.”
"Does she still have the strength?" Geng Zhiye regained his senses and tied the rope around his waist. "You guys hold on and let me go, and I'll pull her up."
The middle-aged woman woke up from a dream: "Yes, yes, everyone pulls together, back, back, the edge of the well is too slippery. What kind of wasteful thing spills half of the bucket of water!"
"Sister-in-law, hurry up!" Geng Zhiye couldn't wait any longer and pushed himself down the well. "I'm sorry, don't be in a hurry. I'll come down and hold on for a while. A while, a while. Look, I'm not lying to you." She quickly pulled people into her arms.
Ye Fan pressed his cold body against the warmth and burst into tears: "I don't want to die, I haven't lived enough..."
"No, no, the well is not deep, and you won't die. Don't scare yourself. I'm here." Geng Zhiye felt distressed. Hearing what his stepmother and mother-in-law said, his family was very strong, and they gave birth to the first and second babies. Not even a single tear was shed. While comforting her, Geng Zhiye freed up a hand and calmly tied the piece of rope he had left specially to Ye Fan, "I told you that there is enough Yang energy here, you should be well, no ghost dares to seduce your soul. Pulling the rope, the middle-aged woman at the well received the signal: "Okay, pull quickly, let's pull the person up together"
A dozen women twisted into a rope and pulled the person up in a few seconds. For Ye Fan, it was like being reincarnated again. Seeing the vast sky, he was completely confused. Geng Zhiye hurriedly thanked him and picked up Ye Fan to go home.
"Commander Geng, wait a minute, how can we use the well water?"
one of the women helping pull the rope asked loudly.
Geng Zhiye was so angry that he suppressed the urge to curse and turned around and said: "Bring over the buckets from home. If one person has two buckets, the well will be bottomed out."
The middle-aged woman who called for help reconciled: "Yes, all the water in the well has been pumped up, and the water in the spring below will be cleaner than before. Everyone should go home and get buckets first."
The woman couldn't help but said: "I just fetched the water this morning. Where do you put it?"
Geng Zhiye said angrily: "Washing vegetables and washing clothes, what's wrong?"
"Hey, Commander Geng, what's your temper? Don't think-"
Geng Zhiye ran out of patience: "That's just the way I am! I don't want to ask your lover to apply for a job transfer!" He hugged Ye Fan and left.
The woman wanted to say something else, but the middle-aged woman grabbed her and said, "What's wrong with you today? Didn't you see that Captain Geng's lover is soaked all over? If you don't let me go, I suspect you did it on purpose."
"I did it on purpose!" Geng Zhiye got angry. The woman was afraid and did not dare to say it loudly, but her voice was not quiet and people around her could hear it. "You really think you are the eldest lady and you will jump into the well as soon as you come."
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it? I heard that Commander Geng's father-in-law is very——"
"It was true before, but not now. You wouldn't know it at a glance. Commander Geng's lover is not a biological child of the Ye family. A few days ago, my wife went ashore to pick up food. It was said that more than 20 years ago, Commander Geng's father-in-law and mother-in-law were in Shenzhen. The Chen family also said that they were busy with work and accidentally gave birth to the wrong child. He could even fool a three-year-old child. The lover of Captain Geng did such a despicable thing, which caused the real eldest daughter of the Ye family to die in the countryside. She still had the nerve to stay in the Ye family. "Bah!" the woman spat in the direction where Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan disappeared.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The middle-aged woman was the first to come to her senses: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
"Everyone in the capital army knows it. My sister-in-law's mother-in-law's brother is serving as a soldier in the capital. The Ye family has never thought of hiding it. Otherwise, she would be willing to come from the capital. We are like a bird that doesn't poop, a dog that doesn't lay eggs, and a turtle that doesn't lay eggs. On the island? ”
That makes sense!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The young woman who watched Ye Fan fall breathed a sigh of relief and caressed her chest as if she was surviving a disaster: "No wonder she jumped into the well. If it were me, the daughter of an eldest lady, turned into an ordinary worker, I wouldn't be able to bear it."
< br>
But the Geng family has two children, one is four years old and the other is two years old. What will happen if she dies. The middle-aged woman couldn't bear it: "Let's carry water first."
"Still picking?"
Someone screamed.
The middle-aged woman was startled: "You have finished eating the water in the tank, don't you still have to pick it up?"
"I - she was the one who soiled the well water. If I want to choose, I will ask that fake lady to pick it."
The middle-aged woman wanted to say that it was her parents who "brought the wrong child" and had nothing to do with Commander Geng's lover: "You tell Commander Geng. If you don't dare, just go home and get the bucket." She was the first to see Ye Fan jumping. The woman from the well came home and said, “Don’t you want the bucket?”
"I'll go home and get the bucket." The young woman turned around and saw the bucket beside the well, her expression changed slightly, "That——"
The middle-aged woman remembered: "This is not yours. The pole looks freshly made. I know your pole. Whose bucket is it?"
No one answered.
Someone thought carefully: "The bucket was here when we came, right?"
The middle-aged woman thought carefully: "This belongs to Ye Fan?" She looked at the woman who said that Ye Fan was not the daughter of the Ye family, "Why did she use a bucket and pole if she wanted to jump into the well?"
The woman was asked: "How did I know? You said she was going to jump into the well, so I came over to help pull her away. I didn't even see clearly whether the fake lady was black or white."
The middle-aged woman looked for the young woman, but she left in a hurry. The middle-aged woman rushed forward and grabbed her: "Did you push the person down? You said at first that someone fell into the well, not jumped into the well? Don't think about running away, follow me to Geng's house."
Everyone exclaimed, "Impossible? No way?"
"Then how do you explain that the bucket and pole are here? I really didn't expect you to be such a person." The middle-aged woman was extremely angry, "You are a little girl, but you are so cruel. Come with me!" She is so energetic because she is used to working as a farmer. , twisted her arms and dragged her towards Geng's house.
In the Geng family, Geng Zhiye wrapped Ye Fan's long hair in a dry towel and tucked him into the quilt before changing clothes.
Ye Fan stood up subconsciously. Geng Zhiye put on his clothes and sat back down: "Ye Fanfan, where has your usual courage gone?"
"He also said that I am almost dead..."
The moment she fell, Ye Fan really thought she was going to die. Her hands and feet were weak. It was those words that said she jumped into the well instead of the words that she fell into the well that made her regain her senses - if she died like this, everyone else would have to If you misunderstand her, you may even say that she is cowardly and does not dare to face the fact that she is not the daughter of the Ye family.
Geng Zhiye hugged her and patted her back: "My body is cold and cold. If I don't drink something hot to keep me warm, I will get sick before the afternoon."
Dabao pulled Erbao in: "Dad, what's wrong with mom?"
"Mom is fine." Geng Zhiye was afraid of scaring the children and did not tell the truth: "The porridge in the pot is ready. Dad will serve you porridge now."
Liao Miaomiao didn't know what happened and didn't dare to go near the bedroom. Hearing this, he walked to the door in two steps: "Uncle Geng, I will help my younger brothers and sisters serve porridge."
"No, the pot lid is hot." Geng Zhiye whispered in Ye Fan's ear: "If Dabao and Erbao know that you are picking things from the well, they will laugh at you every day from now on."
Ye Fan pushed him away: "I didn't want to jump into the well."
"I know. You can't bear to leave me."
Ye Fan was so angry that he glared at him and said, "The edge of the well is too slippery. There is a woman who doesn't know who I am. She may have suspected that I forgot to spit in the well and yelled at me. I was not careful." There must be traces of my shoes slipping on the edge of the well if I didn’t step on it.”
"I remembered. I was also wondering who made a skid mark on the edge of the well."
Geng Zhiye subconsciously turned around when he heard a familiar voice, and immediately stood up when he saw the person coming: "Sister-in-law, thank you just now."
The middle-aged woman is Liu Guihua, the lover of the deputy leader. She grabbed the young woman into the bedroom: "That's her! She doesn't do business, she just thinks about catching spies all day long. How can there be so many spies for you to catch?"
Geng Zhiye looked at Ye Fan, was it her?
Ye Fan nodded speechlessly, actually treating her as an enemy agent.
Geng Zhiye: "You are from the market. If you have nothing to do in the future, don't come here. Although this is a family area, you will occasionally drive here with documents. If something happens, it will not be good for everyone."
"But——"
Geng Zhiye interrupted: "Sister-in-law, please tell her parents."
"Okay!" Liu Guihua dragged the young woman out without waiting for her to speak. "I was far away and I heard you wrong. How dare you make the mistake? Fortunately, Commander Geng is at home. If all the people here are women, who can go down and pull his lover up? ?”
Geng Zhiye discussed with Ye Fan: "My sister-in-law taught her a lesson, is this what happened now?"
Ye Fan nodded.
Geng Zhiye helped her lie down: "Miaomiao, is your dad at home? Find your dad and I will discuss something with him."
Liao Miaomiao took her younger siblings back to the next door, while Dabao and Erbao went to the kitchen with Geng Zhiye. The room suddenly became quiet, and Ye Fan felt scared again, just as frightened as when Xiao Ye Fan came alive seven years ago.
Liao Miaomiao's mother was cooking in the house and didn't hear the noise outside. When Liao Miaomiao came home, she said that the salesperson at the agricultural and sideline products market was a pest. She didn't do her job properly and came here to wander around again. She even scared Aunt Ye into falling into a well.
Her mother was so frightened that she almost used the bowl as a spoon and asked her what was going on.
Although Liao Miaomiao didn't see it, she saw Ye Fan carrying a bucket to fetch water, so she could guess pretty well. Seeing that her father was also curious, he told her from the beginning until Aunt Guihua took the woman to Geng's house. Captain Geng didn't care and told her to come to her father.
The political commissar had a bad premonition and strode to Geng's house. He saw only two children in the living room: "Where are your parents?"
Dabao: "In the bedroom. Dad feeds mom porridge. Uncle, please sit down."
The political commissar didn't know whether to tease Geng Zhiye, ridicule his lover, or praise the child for being sensible: "Is your mother okay?"
"It's okay." Dabao shook his head.
The political commissar frowned. The child's expression was too cold.
"Did you know that mom fell into the well?"
While Geng Dabao was washing his face, he couldn't help but ask his father what the hell was wrong. He didn't take off his shoes when playing in the water. Geng Zhiye said that Ye Fan accidentally fell into the water, and took the opportunity to tell Geng Dabao that he was not allowed to go near the well or go to the beach without his parents. However, Dabao had never seen a well and subconsciously thought it was similar to a river, so he did not take his father's advice to heart.
Hearing this, Dabao sighed first and stopped eating the porridge. He put down the spoon and looked helpless with his mother: "My mother loves to show off. My father didn't tell me, but I also know that he must have said that he carried water."< br>
"Geng Dabao——"
"Drink porridge!"
The voices of women and men came from the bedroom one after another. The political commissar suddenly wanted to laugh: "You don't seem to be surprised that your mother fell into the well?"
"I almost set the house on fire this morning. I asked her to come out, but she still showed off her strength. She's even tougher than a duck." Dabao became more and more angry as he talked. His mother didn't care about herself. She didn't know how angry she was. Dabao stood up from the dining table and shouted towards his parents' bedroom: "Ye Fanfan, if you don't obey me again, I will write a letter to grandma and ask her to take care of you!"
Geng Zhiye came out with a bowl and spoon: "Can you write letters? You have such a loud tone."
"I - I don't know how to find someone to write it? Sister Miaomiao is as tall as Sister Huihui, so she will definitely write it." Dabao stared at his father, "Can you stop listening to everything and just listen to Ye Fanfan? ”
Geng Zhiye flicked his forehead: "You have trouble speaking, why are you lecturing me?"
"I want to tell grandpa!" Dabao shouted angrily.
Geng Zhiye couldn't calm down for a moment: "Son, let's talk about it. You don't know. Dad will buy you a pound, no, two boxes of toffee. Eat as much as you want."
Dabao rolled his eyes: "High five!" He put down his little hand and gave his sister a shoulder: "Er Bao, tell me, dad didn't say to buy it for you."
Erbao's mouth was filled with porridge, and he puffed out his cheeks and nodded vigorously.
Geng Zhiye suddenly felt his eyes darkening.
The political commissar wanted to laugh again: "You also have today. But why did you ask me to come?"
"That well is too dangerous. Ask the logistics department to get some stones to line the surrounding area, then raise the well head to at least 40 centimeters, and add a manhole cover. It's too unhygienic now."
The political commissar thought to himself that he thought you were going to fill up the well: "There is no shortage of stones and trees here. There is no problem with the manhole cover and stones. But how to build it?"
"Use the bricks from my yard. Forget it, don't do the accounting, count them as mine. I'll ask the fishing boat to bring them to me later."
Political Commissar: "Okay! But can't you build a wooden plank for the toilet?"
"Is the typhoon coming?"
The political commissar subconsciously asked: "Is there a typhoon?"
"How fresh."
The political commissar ignored his request: "Is the typhoon serious? When will it be?"
"In more than a month. July or August."
The shed where the spittoon was placed in the political commissar's house was made of wood chips. Hearing this, he couldn't sit still and immediately went to the army to find the idle logistics personnel.
The two drivers and half of the cooking team were hired by the political commissar to carry bricks and cement. He drove a three-wheeler to find a carpenter to buy boards and pull gravel. When he pulled a cart of things, both the driver and the cooking staff were watching.
Political Commissar: "You still need me to teach you this job? You haven't practiced building roads and bridges over mountains and rivers? Do you have to be engineers and soldiers?"
The monitor looked behind him and whispered: "Those elder sisters and sisters-in-law don't allow us to move."
The political commissar asked loudly: "Who doesn't allow it?"
Not far away, a lesbian walked up from the crowd, and Liu Guihua blurted out, "It's you again." This person is not an outsider either, Tian Xiaofeng is the lover of the old driver.
"Political Commissar, it's not me who is causing trouble."
The political commissar thought that saying this just meant that you were stirring up trouble: "You said it."
"No one has been repairing it for so long. Ye Fan slipped and fell in. You and Captain Geng started repairing the well in a big way. The life of the eldest lady is precious." Unfortunately, it was a fake. Tian Xiaofeng curled her lips and said, "Concrete bricks don't fall from the sky. Isn't it appropriate to use the state's money to build her well?"
The commissar smiled.
Tian Xiaofeng was surprised: "Why are you laughing?"
The two drivers regarded Tian Xiaofeng's husband as their master. Upon seeing this, they both told her to go home and stop blinding her here.
"Where did I get blinded?" Tian Xiaofeng waved to the other military wives, "Do you think no one has been repairing it?"
The leader of the cooking team had to go back and keep an eye on the lunch: "These cement and bricks were brought from Commander Geng's house. Commander Geng kept them to build the toilet. We just took advantage of the break to help. Isn't that okay?"
< br>
"Why, how could it be such a coincidence?" Tian Xiaofeng shook his head in disbelief, "Captain Geng, how can he calculate?"
The old squad leader shook his head: "Who knows. Maybe Captain Geng asked his lover to jump into the well, and then take the opportunity to repair the well and win people's hearts. Sister-in-law, do you think so?"
"When did I think this way?" Tian Xiaofeng blushed furiously.
Old squad leader: "You are sure that the bricks and cement belong to Captain Geng. It is not too late to think so. According to your thinking, is there any other possibility?"
Tian Xiaofeng's face turned red: "Why are you so proud? It's such a bad place. If you stay here for the rest of your life, no one will remember you."
The old squad leader got angry and pointed at her: "Say it again!"
"Don't say good things twice." Tian Xiaofeng twisted her waist and pouted her lips before Shi Shiran left.
The old squad leader was so angry that he chased after him, but the political commissar said "stop" to stop him. Tian Xiaofeng looked back and went home proudly. When the old squad leader saw this, he was so angry that he said, "The worst case scenario is that I'll change my job!" He was reluctant to say it, so he asked the two drivers, "Where does she come from?"
One of the drivers: “Her sister-in-law’s mother-in-law’s brother is a guard of a certain chief in the capital!”
"But Commander Geng is the son-in-law of a certain commander of the Air Force! The one who fell into the well was his daughter!" the old squad leader shouted.
Political Commissar: "Work!"
"No!"
The political commissar heard these two words as soon as he finished speaking. Looking along the sound, I saw a woman in her thirties who looked unfamiliar. He was only transferred half a month earlier than Geng Zhiye, and he has been dispatching troops. Everyone is surprised to see him: "You have nothing to do?"
"There is no job. Can the political commissar arrange a job?"
The political commissar choked: "Tian Xiaofeng is so powerful, ask her to arrange it for you."
"She still has nothing to do."
Political Commissar: "Go home and wash the dishes and wash clothes."
"The political commissar doesn't want to know why I said no? The chief's daughter is not named Ye Fan, but her name is Chen Xiaohui. Why do you think Ye Fan came to the island? Her job was arranged by the Ye family, and the Ye family's daughter came to visit her. , of course she has to give up her job." Seeing the confused faces of a group of big men, the woman started by deliberately carrying the wrong child twenty-five years ago.
After hearing this, the political commissar just wanted to laugh: "I said Tian Xiaofeng, a relative of the guard who has gone through eight turns, doesn't have the guts."
Old squad leader: "These women like to make trouble when they have nothing to do. Political Commissar——"
"The truth is one thing, and whether I believe it or not is another thing." There is only one possibility that can frighten Geng Zhiye into promising to buy two kilograms of candy for his son. Both daughters of the Ye family want it. "Ignore them."< br>
The woman did not see the effect she wanted and was disappointed: "Those who are in authority are confused, but those who are onlookers know clearly."
Everyone just pretended not to hear.
After the stones were laid, the political commissar discovered a problem. If water was pumped in just after the stones were laid, the cement would not work. The political commissar and several people went from house to house to remind those who did not have water at home to quickly bring water.
I don't know who put the Geng family's buckets and poles in the yard. Hearing this reminder, Geng Zhiye filled the bucket and asked the two children to take off their shoes, one on the left and the other on the right side of Ye Fan.
Seeing her lack of energy, Dabao touched her head: "She's not sick. Mom, are you still brave?"
Erbao climbed on top of his mother: "Mom, are you still tough?"
Ye Fan wanted to throw the two children away: "Does your father have a grudge against me?"
