Their eyes met, and finally they chose one person to go back to the palace to report the matter to the prince.
"This woman is too capable and knows everything. I'm afraid she has suffered a lot."
"If the prince knew, he would be even more distressed. I don't know when he will take my wife back to his house."
"Disaster."
The oldest guard suddenly said this word, attracting everyone's attention.
But they also knew why, and they all sighed, and then stopped making any sound, looking at Zhou Xiaoyuan who was rubbing her hands in silence.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mom, Nini will give you a massage."
"it is good."
My body hadn't done such heavy work for a long time, so naturally I didn't have any extra strength. I nodded and closed my eyes to rest for a while.
When Nini withdrew her hand without strength, she opened her eyes and sorted the straw she asked for.
It was smoothed roughly, then tied together with stronger straw, and then with twine.
"What are you doing, mother?"
"The straw is made more compact, less likely to blow away and less likely to leak."
Zhou Xiaoyuan raised her hand and pointed to the roof not far away to let Nini know where this thing was used, then she took her hand back and continued tinkering.
Tie them together one by one, then stagger them and stack them to form a small triangle.
After making quite a few, she carefully climbed onto the roof following the objects next to her.
"What are you doing? Come down quickly. We can hire someone to repair the roof."
"That still requires a lot of money. Besides, the sky is covered with dark clouds and it might rain at any time. Whose house are you going to prepare for a leaky house?"
"But straw alone won't work. How about you come down first?"
Zhou Xiaoyuan finally climbed up, so naturally she would not want to
Just like that, he raised his hand to reveal the woven straw carefully placed on the roof.
After all, they were asking for things, so the quantity couldn't be too much. She barely managed to plug the broken mouth, and all the things were used up.
"Are you done? Then come down quickly. I feel scared even watching you move down there."
"It's not high. It won't hurt me if I fall. By the way, there's still some remaining loess below. You can throw some up and I'll reinforce it."
Still reinforced?
Wu frowned and did not do that. Instead, she climbed up along the position where Zhou Xiaoyuan had just climbed up.
But she was a little timid, and she didn't take a few steps for a while. She could only stand aside and look at Zhou Xiaoyuan helplessly.
"Come down quickly, that's enough."
"We've already come up. It would be a waste for me to go down like this. You'd better give me the things quickly so that I can go down as soon as possible."
Zhou Xiaoyuan did not listen to the advice at all, and continued to ask people to give things to her, and even took advantage of the opportunity to straighten the messy and uneven straw.
Seeing her constantly repairing the home, Wu could only sigh helplessly, then put the things into the basket and carefully delivered them to the roof where people could pick them up.
"A little higher. If it doesn't work, just use that table."
"I can't move that thing by myself, and you're really going to cause trouble for others. Why don't you just take a rest when you're tired?"
"Okay, I'll take a rest after I finish this, and you don't want to talk about it anymore."
She was talking about it, completely worried about Zhou Xiaoyuan.
But Wu also knew that the other party also accepted death, so she sighed and put other things under her feet so that others could get the yellow mud.
"Okay, this will be over soon. Why don't you go see if there is any food left? It's almost time."
"Okay, be careful."
Even so, Wu was still worried and could only look at Nini, who was nervously holding a kettle next to her.
"Nini, if your mother calls me, just shout loudly until I respond."
"it is good."
Nini's voice was a little hoarse because of the singing just now. She held the water bottle and took a sip, but she didn't dare to leave Zhou Xiaoyuan's eyes at all.
After making sure that no accident would happen, Wu quickly walked in and carefully cleaned the kitchen, which had not been damaged too much.
Although it was not damaged, the contents inside were missing a lot, and even the seasonings had been emptied.
"These bastards! They have to take away such a small amount of stuff."
Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Wu quickly ran to the rice vat and found that there was no lid on it. How could there be anything left in it.
Looking at the empty space inside, tears couldn't help but fall out of my eyes.
"What's wrong? Why do you look like this?"
"Rice vat..."
Unable to calm down, Wu couldn't make a sound after struggling to say two words, and could only reveal the empty rice vat.
Guessing that this would be the case, Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed, and then looked for something that might have been missed in the corner.
Fortunately, those people were careless and saved a lot of things in every corner.
Zhou Xiaoyuan carefully dug out the skinny sweet potato, picked off the leaves growing on it, and put them into the basin together with the main body.
"These are barely enough for one meal, and we will have to buy them again tomorrow."
"Then please make another meal for me and the child.
Cleaning up the kitchen? "
Looking at the almost empty kitchen, she shook her head, and then pointed to the water tank outside.
"If possible, it would be better to bring back some water. There will be problems if we keep borrowing water from other people's houses."
"Okay, I'll go fetch water right now, and you'll have to take care of the child."
"Nini is very well-behaved. Besides, I just need someone to light the fire."
Nini was following behind. When she heard that she needed to work, she immediately let out a soft cry and ran out of the yard quickly to bring back some wet firewood.
His little face wrinkled up, but he knew there was no other way but to use something to make it slimmer before throwing it into the stove.
But even though he was so careful, he still created a lot of thick smoke, which choked the mother and daughter to tears.
"It's all Nini's fault. It makes my mother choke."
"No matter what your point is, those people are so bastards that they didn't even let go of the firewood."
Nini made the same expression, and even felt that it was not enough to imitate and let out a soft hum. Then she kept fanning the flames with a worn-out small fan, and finally saw the flames ignite.
"It's finally up. Mom, let's cook."
"Nini is so powerful, even my mother may not be able to light a fire."
Hearing her mother's exaggeration, Nini smiled sheepishly and became even busier with water, washing the old things that had not been taken away.
When Wu came back from fetching water, the polenta cooked with sweet potato and sweet potato leaves was placed on the table.
"Eat, we can continue to clean up when we are full."
"You are really amazing. You can make such delicious porridge without any seasoning."
"It's so sweet and the sweet potato leaves are delicious."
When Zhou Xiaoyuan heard this, she immediately put the sweet potato leaves in the bowl on Ni
Ni bowl.
"These are nothing, you will see more in the future."
