CH 62.2

Zhang Fangyuan carefully covered Xu He with a thin quilt, it was still a bit cold after the rain.

"When you woke up, my heart finally fell back. It rained heavily yesterday and repair works were carried out everywhere. I have to go to fourth uncle’s place to have a look. You should just rest in the house."

Xu He nodded obediently.

When Zhang Fangyuan went out, he saw the messy scene after the heavy rain, but he felt a little comfortable, and felt that the air after the rain was particularly cool.

Looking at the golden osmanthus plant in the yard that was attacked by wind and rain all night, the flowers were knocked down a lot, but the leaves didn’t fall. He squatted down to fill some loose soil, and took two egg shells beaten from the stove to cover the ground: "It's so good to grow. When my cub can run, they can dangle and shake the osmanthus flowers.

" How is it, the family head?, has it been blown and leaked? "

When Zhang Fangyuan arrived at Zhang Shicheng's house, he saw his fourth uncle climbed onto the roof from a long distance away. The branches that were cut off by lightning yesterday fell on the roof, there were two holes in the roof of the thatched shed, and water leaked all night.

First, they used a basin to continue, but the rain was heavy, and it was full of water in a while, and then it was replaced with a bucket. The rain didn’t stop until dawn.

In fact, not only Zhang Shicheng's family, but also many families in the village were like this. The bedroom in Zhang Fangyuan's house was safe, because when he first repaired the house, he repaired the bedroom carefully, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to sleep well. There was a water leak in the main hall and side rooms, but it wasn't serious, and he cleaned it up in the morning.

Zhang Fangyuan shook his head with his hands behind his back.

"Why are you being so silly? Do you know how much the crops in the field have been ruined? I even saw several villagers ran to their houses while crying. When you are like this, someone will say that you are gloating at their misfortunes since you didn't grow crops."

"So, is it obvious?" Zhang Fangyuan touched his face and said: "Although the family didn't grow any crops, we also grew vegetables. My second aunt went to visit in the morning, and all the well-grown green onions were blown down."

"You don't have much trouble."

Zhang Fangyuan climbed up to the roof to help his fourth uncle with a worried face, and couldn't help saying: "There is a happy event at home."

“What kind of happy event can there be?"

Zhang Fangyuan didn't answer, just smiled. 

Zhang Shicheng stopped his hands, he looked like the second idiot for a while and then pointed at Zhang Fangyuan with his index finger: "Yes!"

"Huh?"

"Okay, it's really a good thing!"

Zhang Shicheng reacted, and immediately became happy: " Tomorrow... don't wait for tomorrow, I will go to your parents' grave to burn incense later this afternoon, your parents in the heaven should feel relieved."

Everyone in the village looked like corn that had been soaked in rain and hadn't been dried. Zhang Fangyuan was the only one who was cheerful.

He didn't go to the city to set up a stall to do business. Instead, he carried a wooden bucket and fishing net to catch fish by the river that swelled after the heavy rain.

It was easy to catch fish in the swollen river. If it was not for the heavy rain that destroyed the crops and houses, there would be many people fishing by the river. This morning, Zhang Fangyuan was an idler who was cheap, carrying a bucket of fishes to his home.

He was still looking for old hens in the village and throwing them in the yard. Every time they passed by the door of the house at meal time, there was a smell of meat. Today was fresh bone soup, and tomorrow was tofu and crucian carp...

The people in the village couldn't figure out what kind of windfall this family had made, but the discerning wife and fulang figured it out all at once. This meant that the family was about to have a child.

Xu He was kept in the house for three days, and he recovered from his illness without a trace. He ate and drank everyday, and he felt like he was about to swell.

He was in good health that day, and he drove Zhang Fangyuan to look for and buy livestock, when Zhang Fangyuan finally went out, his mother came to the door as if she came timely.

"Hey, look at so many old hens in this yard. They must have cost a lot of money to buy them. They can't lay eggs. This man just can't choose when he buys things."

When Liu Xianglan entered the door, she pouted for a while, and then she was attracted by the crowing chickens in the yard, she brought a hen and then threw it in the yard: "You used to raise it when you were in the house, but now it will be for you. It will be eaten when the child is born and for confinement."

In addition, there was a basket of eggs.

Xu He's eyebrows moved slightly, and the iron cock (stingy person) plucked its hair. It was really unprecedented, it seemed that his mother really listened to what his aunt said.

"You can send this basket of eggs to Second Sister. I saw that she lost a lot of weight a while ago." He kept the chicken.

Liu Xianglan sat with her feet up in Zhang's house, and it was the first time she came here after Xu He got married: “Well, the Fei family got a reward from the imperial court. They were looking forward at those few acres of good land to produce grain, but this rainstorm destroyed most of them."

"Well, if your second sister put one in her stomach earlier like you, she wouldn't be so tired. It's a pity that Fei Lian only came back three or two times a month, and..." A frail scholar, at first glance, he was not particularly capable.

After speaking, she sighed again.

Xu He couldn't say much, this kind of thing depended on fate, and you couldn't rush it.

Liu Xianglan babbled a lot, first she told him to let Zhang Fangyuan to be more economical, he bought so many things when he was pregnant with a child, and be careful to raise the fetus too big or it would be hard when the time to give birth; after a while she said let Zhang Shiyue to do things, since she lived and ate for free at home, she should do more work.

Xu He’s ears were noisy: "I will eat fish at noon, I’m going to cook, the butcher should be back, mother, do you want to go back after eating?"

Liu Xianglan was quite moved when she heard that Zhang Fangyuan was coming back, she said: "Forget it, I have to go back and cook for your father. There is a lot of work at home. Didn't the butcher catch a lot of fishes?, I will bring one back for your father to eat."
