The joy on An Yunrui's face faded, and his tough face was a little at a loss: "I, I'm sorry, I didn't mean not to leave, I just wanted to see you more, but I can do my best to protect you, and I will
Satisfied."
An Shuyao was silent for a moment and then said: "Thank you, fourth brother."
The previous hurt still exists, but it is also true that he gave up himself to protect her, so retaliation will offset it.
She smiled at An Yunrui: "You rest first, I'll go out to do some errands."
With that said, he took the medicine he bought for Lin Huzi and went out.
An Yunrui still feels like he is dreaming. Does his sister forgive him?
An Hao covered his mouth and snickered. He looked at Lu Jin who had just come back from behind and asked happily: "Little uncle, does my fourth uncle not have to go out to accompany the dog?"
Can his fourth uncle also live in the house?
He looked at Lu Jin expectantly. Lu Jin looked around the pitifully small room and came to the conclusion: "It would be better for him to go out and sleep in the doghouse."
An Yunrui felt that he could do it even if he was asked to sleep in a doghouse.
As long as An Shuyao is willing to accept him again, he can do whatever he wants.
Liu Yuxue shook her head and went to one side, took out the gray cloth she bought in the morning and started sewing. When she was on the bullock cart, she visually checked An Yunrui's stature.
She generally made very accurate visual measurements and did not use a ruler to measure. She gestured with her hand to indicate the width, and then glanced at An Yunrui before starting to cut and sew.

An Shuyao carried the medicine and went to Aunt Lin's house. Seeing An Shuyao coming, Aunt Lin was very happy and quickly pulled An Shuyao in and asked her to stay for lunch.
An Shuyao refused continuously: "My husband-in-law is still waiting for me to come home and make lunch. I came to deliver medicine to Huzi. He just fell into the water. It would be good to nourish his body."
Aunt Lin was so moved that she wiped her tears: "Thank you, Yao girl, you are really thoughtful."
"What did Aunt Lin say? When I first came to Rock Village, I had nothing and you gave me sweet potatoes to fill my husband's stomach. You helped me, I will not forget it, you just treat it as me
return.”
Aunt Lin couldn't explain the kindness clearly, but she would spend her whole life repaying Huzi's life-saving grace, and Lin Huzi should also repay An Shuyao well in the future.
An Shuyao came here for something. She took out three hundred coins from her arms: "Aunt Lin, I may still need to use those two quilts of yours. If you don't come back for a while, I will treat them as buying them with this money."
That quilt."
Aunt Lin hurriedly refuted: "No need to give it, you can just take it and use it. It will be the same if you give it back when it's ready."
Those two beds looked like they were new, so An Shuyao naturally wouldn't use them in vain: "Just take it, I bought the quilt. If you refuse again, I won't dare to come and borrow anything."
Aunt Lin looked at the three hundred coins and realized that the two beds were not worth the price at all. She guessed that because of the sweet potatoes and wheat she sent, An Shuyao quietly gave her some extra coins.
She didn't shirk anymore and accepted it: "Bring some radishes back."
An Shuyao nodded: "Okay, by the way, Aunt Lin, is Uncle Lin at home?"
Aunt Lin walked inside and responded: "Here he is, he just came back from the mountains. What do you want to see him for?"
"I want to ask him to ask a few people in the village to help me build a simple wooden and thatched house in the yard, and I will pay for the work."
Lin Hui happened to hear An Shuyao's words when he came out of Huzi's house. He smiled and said: "Girl Yao, please rest assured. People in the village can still build simple houses. You go back first and I will give them to you later."
Call the people and come over."
An Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll wait for you at home. The more people there, the better. It's best to build it in the evening."
Lin Hui was a little surprised: "So urgent?"
An Shuyao nodded: "There is a patient at home who needs a good rest. By the way, Uncle Lin, can you help me contact the carpenters nearby? Make me three more beds, one of which is slightly wider."
Lin Hui responded readily: "No problem, I will order it for you later."
An Shuyao nodded: "Thank you."
After saying that, she went to see Lin Huzi again before leaving the Lin family yard.
An Shuyao felt a lot more relaxed after solving the housing problem. After all, An Yunrui had to have a place to live, and Liu Yuxue's place also needed to be renovated. She wanted to take this opportunity to repair the thatched house.
The money for the tofu she just sold today had to be paid in again. She also spent more than one or two to buy cloth and cotton for Liu Yuxue. The money for building the house was enough. The builders were coming soon, so she had to get her lunch quickly.
After cooking and eating, I tidied up the house.
When she was at the door of her home, she suddenly realized and dug into the space to find the medicine for treating wounds that she had made in her spare time. The white porcelain bottle and a stack of gauze were soon in her hands.
She took her things and walked in. An Yunrui seemed to be in good spirits and was talking and laughing with An Hao.
Seeing An Shuyao come in, An Yunrui's smile grew bigger and bigger: "Yao Yao."
An Shuyao threw the medicine and gauze on him: "Remember to change the medicine yourself."
Then she turned around and went to the kitchen. She took out the pork belly and prepared to make braised pork. There was quite a lot of braised pork left. An Shuyao planned to secretly give it to Lin Hui later and let him take it home.
People try it.
One stove is still not enough, so we need to install a stove with two stoves.
Steaming rice and stir-frying can both be done at the same time.
Lunch was prepared quickly. An Shuyao put all the dishes on the table and said, "I invited the house repairman to come. I guess he will be here soon."
She filled another bowl and asked An Hao to serve it to An Yunrui.
After lunch, Liu Yuxue rubbed her eyes, put the needlework aside and asked, "Yaoyao, is there any work you need me to do?"
An Shuyao thought of the gallbladder mushrooms promised to Zuixian Pavilion, and said, "Can you go to the mountain and help me pick some gallbladder mushrooms? The house builders will come later, and I can't leave here."
Liu Yuxue went to carry the small basket: "No problem, I'll go right away."
After Liu Yuxue went up the mountain, Lin Hui also came with the men who repaired the house. They were all villagers from the village, about ten in number. They also brought tools, and some even moved wood and wet clay.
Lin Hui said loudly: "Girl Yaotou, do you think there are enough people here?"
An Shuyao nodded: "That's enough."
Lin Hui walked forward and asked, "How are you going to repair this house?"
An Shuyao looked around, then looked at the rabbit living in the haystack, pointed in that direction and said: "Build a house for one person here, and then I will build the stove outside to face the well.
That’s it. I’ll just thicken the wall inside, install a door, and finally build a woodshed on the left side of the house for me to store debris.”
