C12 Split Home(4) (1/2)
Qin Mian and Lei Tia carried their sickles and went out, coincidentally the neighbors from the east side also came out from the courtyard door, and their eyes met.
Qin Mian was extremely embarrassed, he admired the good temper of this family. The Madam Du scolded him every day in such a way that half of the village could hear him. The neighbors suffered the most, so why didn't anyone protest?
”Let's go out.” The big man opened his mouth and smiled. His expression was very warm and there was no disdain in his eyes.
Qin Mian smiled and nodded, ”Uncle, good morning. ”Let's go mow the grass.”
The big guy laughed, ”What uncle? His name is Elder Jiang. ”
”Elder Jiang.” Qin Mian was the kind and gentle one, he reckoned that this person was of a high rank. There were many villagers who were related to family and friends. This was how seniority was arranged.
”Go ahead.” With his hands behind his back, Elder Jiang sauntered in another direction.
Qin Mian followed Lei Tia all the way to the foot of the mountain and continued to walk.
”You want to enter the mountain?” Qin Mian asked.
Lei Tia nodded.
The two of them made seven turns and eight turns in the forest, climbing up the mountain for about ten minutes before finally stopping.
”You stay here.”
Lei Tia bent his waist and cut the grass, his big hands grabbing a handful of grass. He placed the sickle in his right hand on the grass and pulled it towards him.
Qin Mian just realised that he was only holding a sickle, he didn't have any tools to help, so he wanted to walk around to see if he could dig up some wild herbs or find some wild fruits.
”Don't wander around, there are snakes.”
Qin Mian could only stand there obediently. Not far away, there was a rock that was moved over and sat down, watched as Lei Tia cut bundles after bundles of rock, and then moved them into a small cove that wasn't easily discovered. There were several bundles of thatch already stored in that little cove.
Qin Mian did not understand, ”Place it here?”
Lei Tia said: ”I want to build a room.”
Qin Mian suddenly realized. So it turned out that Lei Tia had not cut all this grass for his Lei Family, but to build a house. It seemed like he had indeed been planning to split his forces from Lei Family since a long time ago.
Qin Mian said: ”I will cut it together with you in the afternoon.”
Lei Tia did not say anything, and Qin Mian thought that he agreed.
On the way home, Lei Tia had only picked up two bundles of grass to make his report. When the grass is dried, it is also firewood.
