C116 Digging the Cellar

She wasn't a stingy boss. As long as she got something rare from that place, she would have money and a wife.

Returning from the mountain, Ning Yan climbed over the wall once again and returned home.

This time, before he could even reach his bedroom door, he saw a head peeking out from the window opposite him.

A black head suddenly appeared at the window at night, even Ning Yan was shocked.

Focusing and looking over, only then did he realize that the black head was Zhou Yi.

Pushing the door open and throwing the small booklet recording the data onto the table in the bedroom, Ning Yan walked out of the room.

Looking at the relaxed looking man in the courtyard, he chuckled: "What, you guys aren't even going to let go of my tracks, did Lu Hanzhang tell you about it?"

"Auntie, you're overthinking it. It's just that even an iron body wouldn't be able to hold on even if the night ends …"

"These have nothing to do with you. You just have to protect my son. You can pay for it however you want."

After Ning Yan finished speaking, her face was as dark as ink.

He took the initiative to protect a person and was even belittled. As for the salary …

Staring at Ning Yan, Zhou Yi turned and walked back into the room.

When he was willing to care about this, who wouldn't want to sleep in the middle of the night? Wasn't he afraid that wolves would really come down from the mountains?

Lady Ning ran up the mountain every night like this. If they really met a pack of wolves, they wouldn't be able to fly even if they had a pair of wings.

Especially after the python's skin was delivered to the capital, the general had scolded Chen Huo and him in a letter that day.

Tonight, Lady Ning ran out again when she saw him.

Zhou Yi did not dare to continue watching and do not dare to move, but as it was just night when Lady Ning left and the little gongzi had just rested, Zhou Yi could only restrain his temper and wait for Ning Yan to return.

Who knew that kindness would not be rewarded?

When Ning Yan returned to her room, she naturally did not care how depressed she was in her heart.

Zhou Yi and Chen Huo came here as guards, she would only treat them as guards.

If Zhou Yi stretched out his hands too long, she really wouldn't mind taking two.

Although it would be a little inconvenient to do it again, as long as he endured through this, Zhong Yang would be able to give his money from the first month of the barbeque shop.

Sleep for a few hours.

As she walked out of the courtyard, a sweet smell filled the air. Wu Yuvniang had been researching cake since early morning.

He was truly a person with a deep understanding of spiritual energy.

Ning Yan walked to the kitchen s, saw the tens of thousands of milk on the table, picked up a bowl, and took a sip.

"You've improved quite a bit."

"Probably." Wu Yuvniang smiled. She could not chop firewood nor sweep the ground, if she could make the matter with kitchen go smoothly.

He was a useful person.

"I'll be collecting wild fruits in a few days. You'll need to keep an account."

"Wild fruits?"

"Yeah, those apple-pears and walnut chestnuts at the foot of the mountain." Ning Yan explained as she grabbed another osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth.

Sweet, suitable for women and children.

"Right, Elder Lady, little gongzi wants to eat milk candy. That thing …"

"I'll do it, just watch." As Ning Yan spoke, she took a basin of water and washed her hands.

He lit a fire for the small stove and began to fry the peanuts.

He busied himself in the kitchen for a while, sending Ning over to Mr Xue.

Not long later, Liu Erhei walked over with the shovel.

Seeing Ning Yan, she rubbed her hands and asked: "Girl Ning, where are you going to put the kid in the cellar?"

"Ning Yan thought for a moment, then brought him to the backyard.

Holding the stick, he circled a spot and explained the depth and volume of the cellar.

Liu Erhei nodded his head and welcomed it.

Just as Liu Erhei picked up the shovel, he heard Ning Yan's voice: "You didn't eat?"

Indeed, she didn't eat in the morning. She said that there was no food at home, so she had to eat sparingly.

"..."

"Wait." Ning Yan turned around, took out a few buns from the pot and gave them to Liu Erhei.

"There's hot water over at the kitchen. If you're thirsty, go and drink some."

He felt that he had done more than enough, and he had already explained everything that he should have done.

Ning Yan continued walking towards the county city with a small booklet in hand.

When he reached the county town, he first went to the suburban courtyard.

Le Er and Le Shiyi stood under the sun, leisurely basking in the sun, looking like they had nothing to do.

Ning Yan was even a little jealous.

After thinking for a while, he called out the Old Biddy Jia's name.

"Can you read?"

"I know a few." Old Biddy Jia was stunned, she had asked this question when she bought her, why did she ask it now?

"If you have nothing to do, teach these two kids a few words so they don't have to learn to be idle."

"This old servant understands."

"Yes." After finding something to do for the two youngsters, Ning Yan finally felt a little more comfortable in her heart.

Taking the various green cloths she bought yesterday, Ning Yan headed towards Aunt Huang's home.

He was the only one in Zhang Tiehzhu's Blacksmith Shop.

Mrs. Mu went back to her parents' home, so Ning Yan didn't receive any hostile gazes this time, and was in a slightly better mood.

Passing through the shop, they arrived at the courtyard. Aunt Huang was holding needle and thread in her hand, and Little Grass was squatting on the ground, counting ants.

"Aunt Huang."

"Girl Ning is here, take a seat." Pulling up the wooden stool from the ground, he handed it over to Ning Yan and called Little Grass to bring a stool over.

Aunt Huang sat on the chair, looked at the bundle in Ning Yan's hands, and took out the needlework in her hands: "Girl Ning, do you like it?"

"Aunt Huang's needlework is naturally excellent."

"As long as Girl Ning is satisfied." The Aunt Huang said as her gaze fell on the bag on Ning Yan's body.

"Aunt Huang will make a few sets of clothes first. I will explain the size to you in detail."

"Ai ai ai." The Aunt Huang nodded.

Finally, she felt relieved. It turned out that she could make money by guarding at home, and she was no worse than those young misses.

Hearing the size that Ning Yan mentioned, Aunt Huang was stunned.

"Girl Ning, do you want to open a clothing shop? Girl Ning, your aunt made clothes that are sturdy enough, but... The style is too old, but your brother Tiehzhu doesn't mind if he wears it. If I give it to the two brothers in your courtyard, it might be … "

immediately shut her mouth. The clothes that Girl Ning asked her to make did not belong to two people, but four or five different models. Did this mean that Girl Ning was planning on getting so many men from home?

It was his birthday. Could it be that he had to learn how to be shameless and raise a few men for his own use?

"No problem, just do as I say." Ning Yan did not care about what the Aunt Huang thought. It was enough that her business was done on time.

After leaving the Aunt Huang's house, Ning Yan started to think about how to make the people from the mountain come down.

After thinking about it, he realized that the problem was still with the Mr Xue.

He quickly left the county city and rushed back to Gouzi Bay.

The autumn's Gouzi Bay was completely covered by fallen leaves. Walking on the leaves, the unique creaking sound made one's heart calm down.

The harvested grain was already hidden in the urn.

Ning Yan's footsteps were also slowly descending.

When he arrived at Mr Xue's house, he realized that the side courtyard had already been erected.

The pavilions and pavilions were like artificial mountains and beautiful water. They didn't take up a lot of space, but they did have a style that was different from the wild and unrestrained north. It was beautiful and elegant.
