"Hey? Yang Yichen, Anan, what are you two doing here?" Liu Qingxi was stunned to see the two suddenly appear.
"Qingxi, we're here to help!" Yang Yichen said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"No need, I can handle it myself. Besides, Uncle Sanyou and Aunt Song are here too!" What she really thought was, "With your physique? What help can you provide?"
She didn't mean to look down on Yang Yichen; it was just that he was too weak!
"No, no, no, we can't do much, but we can still help!" Yang Yichen insisted, grabbing her hand and pulling her along. "Hurry up! Otherwise, Uncle Sanyou will get anxious!"
Sweat! Liu Qingxi wiped her forehead; this was really...
Well, it seemed she had no choice but to let these two tag along!
Liu Qingyan pouted, "Why did Brother Yang take my sister away and leave me behind!"
As if sensing the child's feelings, Anan stepped forward and took his hand. "Yan, let's go too, or we'll fall behind!"
Liu Qingyan remained silent. Fine, since his sister was taken by Brother Yang, he reluctantly decided to follow Anan!
This was also because Yang Yichen had been good to him in the past, which made him think of him fondly.
Otherwise, Liu Qingyan would not tolerate anyone taking his sister away; she was his support.
At this moment, at Zhang Sanyou's home...
"Hey, is Qingxi coming or not? It's already this late!" Song asked for the third time.
"She should be coming! I talked to her yesterday; she said she'd come early today!" Zhang Sanyou also felt a bit uncertain.
Could it be that the girl felt she couldn't handle this task and was too scared to show up?
He wasn't the only one thinking this; Song shared the same concern. Was she too impulsive at that time to believe a young girl’s words?
The two of them kept glancing out the door, their hands busy but their minds elsewhere.
After a while, unable to hold back, Song spoke up again, "Dear, why don't you go ask again?"
"Is that really okay? It was already yesterday; would it be too much to go again?" Zhang Sanyou awkwardly glanced at Song.
After all, they were troubling someone else. If they kept pressing, who knows if the other person would get annoyed.
Another silence fell until Song suddenly stood up, preparing to find Liu Qingxi when a wave of cheerful laughter grew closer, accompanied by Liu Qingxi's voice: "Uncle Sanyou, Aunt Song, we're here!"
"Oh!" The previously silent Song instantly perked up, her voice much lighter now. "Come in quickly!"
Liu Qingxi smiled apologetically. "Aunt Song, this is my friend who came to help. I hope you don't mind." After all, it wasn't ideal to bring a stranger over casually.
"Not at all! Thank you both!" Song happily welcomed the guests.
However, looking at Yang Yichen, who was dressed in fine cotton clothes and appeared clean and tidy, it was clear he wasn't someone who would do heavy work.
Of course, that was fine; as long as Liu Qingxi had a good plan, she and Zhang Sanyou could handle all the heavy lifting.
The earlier doubts about whether Liu Qingxi would come had vanished.
In truth, it wasn't that Liu Qingxi was late; it was just that the couple had been too anxious and had woken up early without realizing it, making time feel like it was dragging on.
"Uncle Sanyou, Aunt Song, you prepared so much!" Liu Qingxi exclaimed with surprise!
"Yes! We were worried that we wouldn't have enough if we made too little, so we prepared more just in case. Better to be safe than sorry!" Zhang Sanyou scratched his head. "We have plenty of strength; we're not afraid!"
"That's even better! Uncle Sanyou, can we get started?"
"Sure! Sure!! Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it!" Zhang Sanyou patted his chest.
"Alright, Uncle Sanyou, let's first remove the damaged parts at the roots and dig them out!" Liu Qingxi pointed to the most severely damaged area.
"Huh?" Zhang Sanyou couldn't help but doubt, "Will this work? What if it collapses?"
"Uncle Sanyou, don't worry, it won't collapse. Just dig out a little bit, about this big!" Liu Qingxi gestured, indicating roughly the size of a Mud Brick.
Though still somewhat skeptical, Zhang Sanyou decided to follow Liu Qingxi's method. What if it worked? Unbeknownst to him, he had subconsciously begun to trust Liu Qingxi!
This task seemed simple but was actually difficult to execute. After all, they couldn't move too much and had to avoid altering the original structure of the wall.
Zhang Sanyou was quite nervous; one wrong move could lead to trouble.
Liu Qingxi's heart also began to race because she had never done this method herself; she had only seen others perform similar repairs.
Yang Yichen couldn't understand what was causing the panic among the few in front of him, but he too held his breath and observed cautiously.
As time passed, Zhang Sanyou became more skilled in his movements and finally managed to dig out a piece. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Qingxi, what should we do now?"
"Uncle Sanyou, fill this in and then place the Mud Brick inside!" Liu Qingxi indicated for him to use the similarly dried Mud Bricks and bamboo nearby.
"Got it!" Zhang Sanyou felt more reassured seeing that the house was still intact and trusted Liu Qingxi even more!
Although he didn't understand why she suggested doing it this way, it seemed like there was some logic behind it.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Sanyou, we need to do the same for other areas. We'll take our time and replace them bit by bit. But it'll go faster as we get more skilled!" Liu Qingxi said.
"By the way, Aunt Song, we can help too. Everyone saw what Uncle Sanyou just did; we can learn by following along!"
"Okay, I’ll listen to you. Just a moment, Qingxi; I’ll go grab two more tools!" Song also began to trust Liu Qingxi now.
Because of what was previously deemed impossible in their minds, the expected result of the wall collapsing after a section was removed did not occur.
Beside them, Yang Yichen and Anan gradually became fascinated, realizing that it could be done this way!
Especially Anan, who couldn't help but swallow; this was simply incredible.
As for Yang Yichen, he had never seen such a dilapidated house throughout his life.
In his view, such a house was beyond repair, but upon understanding the situation better, he realized that most villagers lacked the means to rebuild their homes.
Usually, they would repair what they could and make do with whatever was available.
Thinking of this, Yang Yichen's hands began to itch: "Let's give it a try!" He recklessly grabbed tools from Song's hands.
This left her and Liu Qingxi stunned in place. After a few seconds, she suddenly snapped back to reality: "Qingxi, can they really do this?"
But since the young master came to help, she couldn't refuse!
At that moment, a startled voice came from nearby: "What should we do?"
Following the sound, Liu Qingxi widened her eyes: "Yang Yichen, what are you doing? Put that down quickly!"
At the same time, she ran over in fear; this was truly making things worse, and the scene before her was chaotic.
