She touched her skin, and she felt cold to the core.
Ruan Xiangxiang raised her hand and gave him the sickle: "I'll give this to you, it's better than a stone."
Qin Sang raised his head, took the sickle, and started digging the soil step by step.
"There are so many places, why did you choose this place?"
Ruan Xiangxiang asked.
Qin Sang was stunned. He didn't choose it, but found that the kudzu here had been cut off, leaving a clear space.
He didn't have any tools in his hands. He usually read a lot of books from sages, but at this time, it was of no use.
Without tools, it's impossible to even get a clean spot.
"Just because it's empty here, and it's quite close to Shuiyun Villa."
"Why is it so close to Shuiyun Villa?" Ruan Xiangxiang asked again.
Qin Sang stopped digging and looked up at Ruan Xiangxiang: "Master, if I want to come back now, is that okay?"
"Do you want to stay in Shuiyun Villa?"
"Yes." Qin Sang looked remorseful: "I really regret not insisting that mother stay. If we stayed, mother would not leave."
As he said that, he looked at her expectantly: "Can I stay?"
"Then what do you know?" Ruan Xiangxiang paused and added: "Now in Shuiyun Villa, everyone has something to do. I think you can't hold a knife or lift it with your hands..."
"I can read and do arithmetic. As for other things, I can learn them if necessary."
Ruan Xiangxiang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, since you have nowhere to go now, just stay. I happen to be short of an accounting office here, and I can teach my brother how to read."
"Thank you, owner."
When Li Cui and the others came back, Qin Sang dug a pit half a meter long.
After they heard about Qin Sang's experience, they all sympathized with him and helped him dig the pit wider and longer, and then helped him bury his mother in it.
After Qin Sang erected a tombstone for his mother, he followed Ruan Xiangxiang and others back.
Qin Sang is not good at manual labor, but he has a good attitude and is eager to do everything.
Take the fight against kudzu as an example. He rushed to put a bundle of kudzu on his shoulders, but in the next second, he was crushed by the kudzu and fell to the ground.
When I fell down, my hand accidentally touched a caterpillar, and I jumped up in fright.
Ruan Xiangxiang shook her head speechlessly.
Ding Caixia snickered from the side, and Li Cui looked embarrassed.
Only Jing He walked over in two steps and crushed the caterpillar with one foot.
This little episode passed quickly. Ruan Xiangxiang also knew that Qin Sang was not suitable for farm work at all, so she said: "Mr. Qin, you are injured. It is better not to work for the time being until you get back to recover from the injury."
"Thank you, Master." Qin Sang said sheepishly.
After returning, Ruan Xiangxiang asked Chen Yu to get him a bowl of steamed potatoes and a bowl of water.
Qin Sang held potatoes in one hand and a bowl in the other, eating the potatoes in one mouthful and the water in the other.
He is a scholar by nature and is used to being polite.
Now that I am eating in such a mess, it is conceivable that I must have suffered a lot in the past few days when I went down the mountain.
Qin Sang took a few bites of potatoes and suddenly stopped.
"Why don't you eat?" Ruan Xiangxiang asked.
Qin Sang looked up at her with tears in her eyes.
He really regretted that he had not forced his mother to stay, otherwise, his mother would not have died.
"I think of my mother. If I had held on a little longer, she wouldn't have left."
Faced with this problem, Ruan Xiangxiang had nothing to say.
She stood up and said, "You eat first. After you finish, take the bowl to the kitchen. Captain Chen will take you to your residence. You should have a good rest first and then talk after you have rested."
