It was very comfortable to lie on the cold earthen bed, but I couldn't sleep.
Listening to the sound of rain getting louder and softer, Lin Xiao didn't know what was wrong with him. He was sleeping on the kang as if he was frying pancakes. Fortunately, it was the kang he was sleeping on, and no matter how hard he tried, there was no sound.
I don't know how long he had been struggling, but just when Lin Xiao had just entered a dazed state, a scream suddenly came from the next room.
It seemed that Xia Yuhe was frightened. Lin Xiao's first reaction was to jump up from the kang. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes before jumping off the kang.
He opened the door and rushed into the woodshed next door in the darkness. As soon as he saw the figure, Xia Yuhe threw himself into his arms.
"Snake! There is a big snake..."
Xia Yuhe was so frightened that she trembled all over. She hugged Lin Xiao tightly, as if she wanted to get into Lin Xiao's body.
"Don't be afraid, I won't sleep here anymore, go to the main room to sleep!"
Lin Xiao supported Xia Yuhe, who was a little unsteady, and they entered the main room.
"Go to sleep! The rain was so heavy that the snake rushed out. This is normal. It didn't bite you, right?"
Lin Xiao asked while breathing heavily while supporting Xia Yuhe as he walked towards the kang.
Xia Yuhe shook her head and said, "It didn't bite me, but touching its soft body was really scary."
As Xia Yuhe said, she still held Lin Xiao's waist tightly with both hands and had no intention of letting go.
"Oh! It's okay. You get on the kang first and I'll close the door."
Lin Xiao said and took Xia Yuhe's hand away.
Xia Yuhe seemed to come back to her senses at this time, and she said in a voice as smooth as gossamer: "I'm sorry, I was really frightened."
"It's okay! You go to bed quickly. I'll stand at the door to blow the air. It's a bit stuffy in the house."
Lin Xiao didn't lie, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt a little hot all over.
Xia Yuhe got on the kang, and she seemed to be curled up and sleeping in the corner of the kang.
In order not to put too much pressure on Xia Yuhe, Lin Xiao gently closed the door and slept sideways on the edge of the kang.
He couldn't sleep at first, but after being tortured a lot just now, Lin Xiao became even more awake.
He stared at the roof, with some messy things in his mind.
He thought about a lot of things that night, and the more he thought about it, the less sleepy he felt. In this way, he lay as straight as a stick on the edge of the kang all night long.
When a faint light shone through the crack in the door, Lin Xiao quickly and quietly groped his way off the kang. Once he found his shoes and put them on, he carefully opened the door.
Where was the daylight? It turned out that the moon came out after the heavy rain.
He glanced at his watch in the moonlight and saw that it was only five o'clock in the morning. Regardless, it was not far from dawn and he could go up the mountain just in time.
Gently groping in the yard to remove a fence post, Lin Xiao lifted it into his hand. It was his crutch for going up the mountain.
After walking out of Xia Yuhe's house, we came to Nanyangxiang Street. We only walked a short distance, but the mud on the shoes made it impossible to walk.
Lin Xiao thought for a while, and without hesitation he took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, and walked through Nanyang Township Street barefoot.
When he started climbing the mountain, the sky gradually became brighter, and he couldn't help but speed up his climbing.
When the sun just started to rise, he appeared in the yard of his house.
When her mother, Liu Xiuzhi, saw that Lin Xiao had come back at this time and was covered in mud, she couldn't help but asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing happened. It started raining heavily when I took the shuttle bus to Nanyang Street last night. I stayed at a classmate's house for the night and went up the mountain before dawn.
oh! I'll take off my clothes and you wash them for me. I'll sleep a little longer. I didn't wake up from last night. "
Lin Xiao said as he pushed open the west room and walked in.
After changing his clothes and throwing them on the fence in the yard, Lin Xiao got into the house and fell asleep.
He slept until noon when he was hungry and woke up.
After a heavy rainstorm, the sun shines brightly and the temperature inside the house instantly rises.
"Didn't Lin Qian bring home a fan? Why don't you use it?"
Lin Xiao asked while wiping the sweat from his face while eating noodles.
"What are you doing with that thing? It wastes electricity, and besides, it's so hot."
Dad Lin Mingsheng said with a smile.
Lin Xiao jumped off the kang, found a fan, plugged it in and turned it on.
"Don't skimp on this aspect in the future. Also, come down and plan. We'll demolish this old house and build it into a new one."
Lin Xiao said and smiled happily.
Mom chuckled and said, "I heard you made some money. It would cost a lot of money to tear it all down and build a new house."
"You don't need to worry about the money. The north side is the main house, and the east and west side houses are all covered with bricks. When the time comes, I will tell Chen Erniu in advance and ask him to prepare bricks for our house."
Lin Xiao said to his parents seriously.
Lin Mingsheng smiled at his wife Liu Xiuzhi and said, "You believe it this time! People in the village said that Lin Xiao made a lot of money, and it seems to be true.
Fine! Your dad and I can't do it. This house was passed down from your grandfather. Damn it, let alone a brick house, the adobe house can't be replaced with a new one.
Mr. Yin Yang of our yard said that this year will be September. If we don’t build it this year, we will have to wait another four years. "
Lin Xiao laughed when he heard this and said: "Then build it in September! I will go to Chen Erniu to arrange the bricks."
"Hey! Don't worry, we have bricks and tiles, we have to hire a craftsman, right?"
Lin Mingsheng was a little anxious when he heard it, and he asked loudly.
Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "I have my own construction company, so why should I hire any craftsmen?"
"Is that okay?"
Lin Mingsheng asked a little worriedly.
Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Everyone builds buildings, so this small project in our house is nothing."
Lin Xiao said, jumping off the kang and leaving.
Although it rained heavily yesterday, as soon as the sun came out, it took a whole morning for the ground to be dried.
When Lin Xiao arrived at the brick and tile factory on his motorcycle, everyone had just finished lunch and was taking a lunch break.
When Chen Erniu saw Lin Xiao coming, he smiled and said, "I'm going to come to you at night."
"How did you know you were back?"
Lin Xiao asked a little surprised.
Chen Erniu chuckled and said, "Your classmate Xia Yuhe said it."
"What? What did she say?"
Lin Xiao became a little nervous when he heard this.
Chen Erniu smiled lightly and said, "Xia Yuhe has been on vacation for the past two days. She came back to work this morning and said she saw you coming back on the road!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao felt relieved.
If Xia Yuhe said that he spent the night at her house last night, it would be a big trouble, but Xia Yuhe was not a fool, she would definitely not say that.
"Hey! Let me say hello to you. Our family is going to build a new house in September. You can keep the bricks and tiles. Of course, I will pay for it."
Lin Xiao laughed as he spoke.
Chen Erniu shook his head and said, "You are the boss, so you can buy whatever you want, just pull it over and use it."
"No! This matter must be clearly divided. I can't lose a penny of the money that should be paid."
As Lin Xiao said, he suddenly remembered another thing.
