When Xu Yunfei returned home, Xiao Ji had just woken up from his afternoon nap.
Hearing the sound of the big iron gate in the courtyard opening, Xiao Ji knelt on the brick bed in front of the windowsill and looked at his brother through the window glass.
Xu Yunfei didn't enter the house but walked straight to the pigsty. He figured that he should fix the pigsty since he was free now.
There was a gap in the wall of the pigsty, which he had torn down when he dug up the pig manure in the spring. Because he was small and not tall, and the pigsty was relatively deep, it was too difficult to dig out the pig manure with a shovel, so he had torn open the pigsty.
If this hole wasn't repaired soon, the piglet might jump out of this hole one day when it grew up.
This was Xu Yunfei's family's most valuable asset.
When Xu Yunfei was free, he would pick up some bricks from the brick factory and pile them behind the door. They could be used to repair the door.
In the countryside, there was basically nothing useless.
He moved some bricks to the gap in the pigsty. He estimated that the number of bricks was almost enough. He used a shovel to scrape the yellow soil that he had pulled back from Xidaigang into the shape of a crater. He also carried a bucket of water to mix the yellow soil into mud. He held a large shovel used by a bricklayer in one hand and the bricks in the other.
The rural children were very capable, especially for special families like Xu Yunfei. Not only did they have to do farm work and repair simple farm tools, but sometimes they even had to do professional work such as electrotechnical and bricklaying.
In fact, this was something that could not be helped. No matter how small a family was, there would always be this or that kind of thing. He could not just ask others for help when there was something.
The problem was that even if they did, they might not have the time to do so.
Therefore, the easiest and most economical way was to do it himself.
Halfway through the pigsty, the village's broadcast suddenly made a sizzling sound.
This was the prelude to the broadcast. The villagers were already used to it. Xu Yunfei had a hunch that he might be called.
As expected…
"Xu Yunfei, come to the village courtyard immediately. Xu Yunfei, Xu Yunfei, go to the village courtyard immediately…"
The broadcaster was Accountant Wan, and the content of the broadcast confirmed Xu Yunfei's intuition.
Xu Yunfei straightened his back and was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he bent down and continued to pile bricks.
"Brother, the loudspeaker is calling you!"
Xiao Ji rode her rusted tricycle to Xu Yunfei.
This baby carriage used to be Xu Yunfei's toy when he was young, but now it had become Xiao Ji's favorite thing.
Although the broadcast didn't say why Xu Yunfei was asked to go to the village compound, he felt that it should be about the disaster relief funds.
Xu Yunfei was in a good mood. He dipped his finger in yellow mud and rubbed it on Xiao Ji's nose."I heard you. Go play!"
Xiao Ji wiped his nose with the back of his hand and stepped on the pedal to play.
Over the past few years, the siblings had relied on each other.
Looking at his sister's weak back, Xu Yunfei did not dare to imagine that if he was alone in this world, he did not know if he would still have the courage to live.
It was the same for Xiao Ji.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyu walked into the courtyard with a worried expression.
Xu Yunfei had been bitten by the Tibetan Mastiff of Wan Dancao's family last time, and the wound had not healed yet. She was still afraid. She knew that the people in the village could do anything, and she was worried that something bad would happen to Xu Yunfei again.
On the surface, Xu Yunfei was the one who was seriously injured in that dispute, but in fact, it was the audacious family who suffered a great loss.
Not only did Xu Yunfei knock on his door, kick over the table, knock down Wan Dancao and his second son, but he also blinded one of the Tibetan Mastiff's eyes. That Tibetan Mastiff was worth a lot of money.
Wan Guanchao was a well-known bastard in the village. How could he let it go just like that?
Liu Xiaoyu had been worried about this matter, but Xu Yunfei did not take it seriously at all.
Seeing that Xu Yunfei was still working as if he was oblivious to the broadcast, Liu Xiaoyu could not help but remind him,""The radio is calling you. Why are you still working?”
Xu Yunfei looked up at Liu Xiaoyu and said,""We'll go after we're done!" His hands did not stop.
" They won't…" Liu Xiaoyu said worriedly.
She couldn't say it out loud. Firstly, she was afraid of hurting Xu Yunfei's self-esteem. Secondly, she was afraid of provoking him and causing trouble under impulse.
"Don't worry, it's fine!"
Although Liu Xiaoyu only said half of her words, Xu Yunfei still understood what she meant.
After placing the last brick in place, he stretched his waist, and the joints in his body made a cracking sound.
Doing some physical work made his body feel comfortable.
Liu Xiaoyu obediently brought him a basin of water. Just as she was washing her hands, Han Tuo ran into the courtyard like a gust of wind."Yunfei, the loudspeaker is calling you. I'll go with you!”
Han Tuo had the same feeling as Liu Xiaoyu. When he heard the broadcast from the loudspeaker, it was like hearing the horn of a battle.
" I'll go too. There's strength in numbers. I don't believe they can do anything to the three of us…"
Liu Xiaoyu saw Han Tuo say it directly and joined in the fun.
"Where are you guys going? It's not like I'm hunting wolves. They're all waiting for me at home. Han Tuo helped me move these unused bricks behind the door and level the mud.”
Xu Yunfei said as he wiped his hands.
Han Tuo still insisted,"Why not kill the wolves?" They are even more vicious than wolves. I will go with you. If they want to fight again, you will have a helper.”
" Han Tuo is right. If something happens, there's still someone to inform us. Otherwise, we'll be anxious at home..."
It was rare for Liu Xiaoyu and Han Tuo to have such a unanimous opinion.
