Now is the busy season of farming, and no craftsmen can be found, so Xie Hui can only put aside the things in the field first, and go to repair the house by himself.
If it wasn't because he didn't have enough money on hand, he even wanted to rebuild directly.
After the elder son of the village chief found out about this, his wife took the initiative to ask him to help Xie go back to the acre of land he was assigned to after finishing his work in the field, and also tidy it up.
Even the youngest son of the village chief was not as idle as before after finishing work every day. He worked with his elder brother and never complained that he was tired.
The two brothers knew very well in their hearts that if it wasn't for good luck and Xie Hui was there, his father would have disappeared long ago.
This kindness, no matter how they say it, they still can't clear it up.
Xie Hui kept the village chief's family's kindness to him in mind, so he could only silently speed up the construction of the house.
Fortunately, the original owner once went to study with a carpenter for a period of time, so he found an excuse for these things.
Although Ning Ning is a little fool, he is very obedient. Xie Hui asked him to catch bugs and feed them to the chick, and he just stayed there obediently to catch bugs.
Occasionally, when Xie Hui raised his head to look, he could be seen.
At this time, Xie Hui had already started to wonder if this kid was a fool after all, it really didn't look like that.
No matter how much he thinks now, he doesn't have the ability to do it, so he can only press those doubts in his heart first, and plan to talk about it after his life gets better.
While working, Xie Hui recalled carefully, in the client's memory, in fact, Ning Ning was not the only idiot in the Xie family, and the children behind him seemed not very smart.
People around the client at the time said that it was because the mothers of those children treated Xie Kangli badly when they were pregnant.
That's why God punished them, and their children became like that. If they don't treat Xie Kangli better, it is very likely that they will become like Ningning.
Xie Hui is also a tasker who has experienced so many worlds, so he made a bold guess.
It is not so much that Xie Kangli's mother and her little aunt treated her badly when she was pregnant, but rather that their love for their children after they had children made them temporarily get rid of Xie Kangli's control.
Xie Hui actually has no ill feeling towards the rest of the Xie family, except for the old lady and the old man Xie.
In Xie Hui's eyes, the others were more like puppets who had completely lost their self-awareness and were manipulated.
With the later children around, the more Xie Hui looked at it, the more he felt that Ning Ning didn't look like a fool. When he was looking for bugs to feed the chickens, he was obviously very serious and focused. A fool should not have his concentration.
It took about half a month, Xie Hui repaired the house, and added a fence around the house by the way.
After being settled here, he quickly moved out of the village chief's house.
When the family was separated, because the old lady of Xie's family insisted that there was no food in the house, the village head couldn't force them to take out the food, so he could only ask for more money for Xie Hui.
He thought that after the separation, it would be okay for Xie to go back and buy rice.
For the past half month, Xie Hui ate at the village chief's house, but he didn't expect that after he moved here, the village chief and his family bothered to come over to warm the stove for them.
Instead of staying for dinner, he brought half a bag of rice over.
"Thank you, we don't have all the rice grains left in our family, so we can only share these with you."
At this time, Xie Hui didn't know how to thank the village chief, because now he really just needed it, so there was really no way to refuse.
After remembering the kindness of the village chief in his heart, he thought that when his life gets better in the future, he must buy some things and return them back.
On the first day of moving to this place, Xie Hui took Ningning up the mountain to pick up some firewood and came back, boiled a pot of boiling water, and began to bathe Ningning in the yard.
He has endured this little guy for a long time, but because he lived in the village head's house before, he couldn't have the cheek to use the village head's firewood to boil water for his son to bathe.
After all, during the busy farming season, no one is in the mood to go up the mountain to cut firewood.
The children of the village chief were still helping to take care of the field, and they lived in the village chief's house. At that time, Xie Hui just wanted to settle here quickly.
Xie Hui picked out the best clothes for this little guy a few days ago, washed them clean, and dried them in the yard.
Scooped the boiled water into the basin, filled a pot full of water, added some cold water to test the water temperature, and after confirming that it was suitable, he carried Ning Ning who was sitting there looking for bugs.
"Daddy, daddy?"
"Come on, Daddy will give you a bath."
Ning Ning didn't know what taking a bath meant, but he still stood there obediently and let Xie Hui take off his clothes for him.
Sitting naked in the bathtub, Ning Ning was stunned for a long time by the strange feeling of the hot water soaking through his skin.
Xie knew before returning that the old lady of Xie's family said on the surface that Ningning was entrusted to her to take care of her, and she would not harm her own grandson.
But now, when Xie Hui was bathing the little guy, he had a very clear understanding of how much the old lady ignored Ning Ning.
He rubbed the cub vigorously, and after rubbing it for a while, Xie Hui realized that it wasn't what he thought, the cub was dark because he didn't wash it clean.
The cleansed skin was white and tender, and it was slightly red because he rubbed it too hard just now.
In the client's memory, he couldn't remember when was the last time a child of this age took a bath.
When rubbing it for the first time, Ning Ning sat there obediently, and even felt very comfortable. She took the initiative to obey her father's request and raise her hand when asked.
But when Xie Hui changed the water and rubbed it vigorously for the second time, it was probably because the client had been doing farm work, so his hands were too rough, and the little guy who rubbed it hurt a little.
There was no crying, but the eye sockets began to turn red, and the eyes looked wet.
Not only did the old lady not let him take a bath, she even refused to let him wash his face.
No matter where you look, they are all dark, so before Xie returned, he thought that this child had a slightly dark complexion.
Although his face was dark, his eyes were clean and beautiful.
When washing for the third time, the cub who had been holding back tears before finally couldn't help it, sitting in the basin like a wounded little animal, whimpering softly, just looking at this appearance, it looks pitiful and aggrieved No way.
Especially his skin was a little red from being rubbed by Xie Hui, and Xie Hui felt a little distressed when he looked at it, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Xie Hui has a habit of doing everything right at once, a dirty cub always needs to be cleaned.
"Ning Ning, good boy, after taking a bath, next time Daddy goes to the county town, can I buy you candy?"
Ning Ning, who had never eaten candy since she was a child, was not fooled by her father at all, she didn't even understand what her father said, and kept crying softly there.
Xie Hui tried his best to relax his movements, but it had nothing to do with him, the main reason was the original owner's rough palm and the hard fabric.
It hurts me to look at it, but I can't let this little guy wash it by himself.
After washing, Xie Hui started serving water again, trying to help him wash his hair as well.
Fortunately, this is his own cub, so Xie Hui didn't dislike him, and waved at him. Ning Ning, who had been very good before, was holding a fierce big rooster and hiding behind the big rooster this time. .
Xie Hui looked at his serious appearance, and suspected with reason and grounds that the brat thought he was hiding behind the big cock, so he couldn't see him.
For a moment, Xie Hui was inexplicably dumbfounded.
"Ningning, come here, Dad won't rub you this time."
"Oh no, it's Daddy who won't bathe you this time."
Probably because of the habit left over from the previous world, Xie Hui is more used to calling himself father.
"Huh?"
Seeing that he had been hiding behind the big **** without raising his head, Xie Hui was a little worried. The big **** he was holding would lose his temper and peck him later.
Simply put down the basin, walked over and hugged him.
When holding Ning Ning in his arms, Xie Hui could clearly feel that he was shaking slightly.
It's useless to be afraid, even if you are afraid, Xie Hui has to clean him up.
Washing hair is obviously much more difficult, especially since there is no comb at home, and Ning Ning's hair is already wet, so it is obviously too late to do it now.
After Xie returned, he could only scrub and wash him slowly, patiently helping him untie the knots in his hair with his hands.
Although there is no shampoo, there is a plant that is used by people in this village to wash their hair, and it can also produce some foam.
At the beginning, Ning Ning was so nervous that her hands were tightly clenched together into small fists, but later on she found that the pain was not as painful as before, so she became obedient.
Lying in his father's arms, he stared at his father curiously.
After a while, he seemed to feel a little tired from this position and struggled to sit up.
Xie Hui put a hand on his shoulder, his voice was a little harsh.
"do not move!"
After finishing speaking just now, the cub who was struggling to sit up obediently lay down again.
Xie Hui couldn't tell whether he understood what he wanted to say, or if he just didn't move after being attacked.
From noon until the sun was about to go down, Xie Hui finally washed the cub clean. His hair was draped over his shoulders. Although the quality of the hair was not very good, it looked clean anyway, and it was long and loose. tone.
Walked over, gently pinched his cheeks, this cub was too thin, and didn't have baby fat, and he didn't struggle after being pinched, just stood there and smiled back at Xie foolishly.
Under the sunshine of the setting sun, the big rooster went back to its coop with its head held high.
Xie Hui looked at this white and tender cub, leaned over and kissed his forehead, and said in a low voice:
"It's going to be all right, everything will be all right."
