Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 670: Leaking the water

She looked at Grandma in surprise and asked, "Grandma, where are the godfather and godmother? Aren't they up yet?"

Not really. It's already daybreak. My godfather and godmother are polite people. Even if they are sleepy, they wouldn't be still awake at this time.

Could it be that he left first?

"Oh, they've finished eating a long time ago. They're taking Mingxue and Wangyou's family of three home to get something. I guess it's the New Year's gift prepared for your uncle's family. They're also going to Dong's house to pay New Year's greetings today. We'll go there first. Come and have breakfast."

After Zhang Jinlan finished her explanation, she waved to her granddaughter.

By the way, I helped her serve a bowl of glutinous rice dumplings. Each one was only as small as a thumb, but it was filled with stuffing and tasted especially delicious.

Sweet with a hint of wine, and aromas of sesame and peanuts.

Jiang Fubao ate a whole bowl of Eight Treasures Dish, which was salty and sweet, like a perpetual motion machine.

She started burping when she went out.

She had a midnight snack last night, but she wasn't really hungry.

But the rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice were so delicious that I couldn’t resist.

"Hey--"

Halfway through the walk, Zhang Jinlan suddenly turned around and called Jiang Fubao.

Jiang Fubao was shocked.

"Look now, are you still hiccuping?" Zhang Jinlan said with a triumphant smile.

"Grandma, it's true. I don't hiccup anymore. I was thinking of giving myself a shot. Grandma is really capable. Grandma is better than me."

Jiang Fubao gave a thumbs up and praised her, and Zhang Jinlan's face became even more proud.

"What's so great about this? It's just a folk remedy. If you keep having hiccups, just scare them off and they will stop." Zhang Jinlan held Jiang Fubao's hand and walked step by step, not forgetting to explain it to her.

In fact, this method is known to all older people in the community.

Including modern times.

Unfortunately, Jiang Fubao has no family, so he knows nothing about this.

It was the first time she had heard of it, so she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.

It is a feeling of being cared about and concerned about by others, and also like a heritage, passed down from generation to generation, and now passed on to her by her grandmother.

So this is family.

Jiang Fubao thought to himself.

Her hand was held tightly by her grandmother. Ever since they got separated during the last lantern viewing, her grandmother had been particularly worried about her.

Whenever she goes out with grandma, no matter how old she is, grandma will hold her hand and will not let go until they reach their destination.

It's the same this time.

When she arrived at the Dong family's door, the right to use her right hand returned to her.

Jiang Fubao's left hand was a little cold, but his right hand was warm and his palms were sweating.

Grandma's palms are thick and warm.

There is a layer of calluses on it, which is a characteristic of people who do farm work all year round.

Even though I'm rich now, no matter how much facial cream I apply, these weather-beaten hands will never change again.

When the gatekeeper saw that the people knocking on the door were from the Jiang family, he let them in without informing them.

In their eyes, the Jiang family is their own family.

Without even needing to lead the way, the few of them walked to the inner house in a familiar manner.

As soon as he entered the main room, Jiang Fubao saw his godfather and godmother sitting together, but his godfather and brother Bujiu were nowhere to be seen.

"Grandpa, Happy New Year. Your granddaughter wishes you a happy new year and all the best. I wish you a younger and healthier body every year..."

After saying some nice and auspicious words and taking the red paper package, Jiang Fubao sat on the chair next to Dong Wei.

"Where are my godfather, godfather and brother Bujiu? Why aren't they here?" she asked curiously.

"Yesterday on New Year's Eve, a family in Chang'an Town set off fireworks in their yard. Sparks landed on the second floor. By the time they discovered the fire, it was already very big. It happened that the family didn't live near water, so several families around were implicated and their houses were destroyed. The police came in the middle of the night and shouted that they would not be held responsible. Your godfather was worried, so he followed him."

Dong Qingyuan sighed and took the initiative to explain.

The family was finally reunited, but this happened.

I don't know what the fire looks like or if there are any casualties.

She didn't sleep well last night and her eyes were bruised.

Too worried.

When her goddaughter asked her questions, she couldn't help but talk more.

"Don't worry, godmother. Everything will be fine. Brother Bujiu has always been lucky. It should be just the house that burned down. He and godfather must be arranging a place for the people to go. I think they will be back soon."

Jiang Fubao's words had just fallen.

There were footsteps outside.

Everyone looked towards the door in unison.

A hint of pale green clothing appeared first, followed by a pair of shoes embroidered with dark gold patterns. Dong Qingyuan recognized them at the first sight.

This pair of shoes was exactly what she showed to Meng Zhili.

The father and son came in one after another.

Seeing them, not only Dong Qingyuan but also Dong Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened? Are there any casualties?" he asked.

"Fortunately, there was no fire. People had to stay up all night on New Year's Eve, so when they saw the fire, they all ran to put it out. Unfortunately, the little water they had was not enough to put out the fire. These houses were built along the street, one after another, and it was over. They were all burned.

My father and I worked until the morning. A total of eight houses were burned down and needed to be rebuilt. Three houses were only damaged and only needed to be repaired. Fortunately, there were no casualties. If it were a normal day, these people would have gone to bed long ago. I am afraid that in their sleep, they would have..."

Meng Bujiu didn't dare to think further.

Even if there are only seven or eight people in a family, if all eleven families were burned down, how many people would die?

"Luckily, it's really lucky. As long as people are alive, we can always get through life. It doesn't matter if the house is burned down. It's okay."

Dong Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Fubao also let out a breath of foul air.

It’s New Year’s Day and she really doesn’t want to hear bad news.

As long as people are alive, they can rebuild their houses even if they are burned down, but the silver in the house cannot be burned. As for the banknotes, they are all recorded. Even if they are burned, the government will intervene and the money house will not dare to embezzle them.

Every household saves money so they don’t have to start from scratch.

The land is theirs too.

Just build a new house on the original site.

After all, everyone else will be implicated. Unfortunately, the court has no relevant laws, and the first family will not bear the cost of building houses for other families.

But the government should give some compensation.

Jiang Fubao didn't ask any more questions, she believed that her brother Bujiu would handle it.

As for why the godfather wants to follow, it is probably because he is worried about himself as a biological father.

After all, when you hear about a fire on the street, your first reaction is that it’s over and people are going to die.

"Yes, fortunately, is Fubao here to wish you a happy new year?" Meng Bujiu chuckled and sat down.

He didn't sleep all night and rode back hurriedly early in the morning just to get home faster.

The moment he sat down, he wanted to let out a sigh of relief.

too tired.

Jiang Fubao saw that he looked exhausted and said worriedly, "Godfather, Brother Bujiu, you two should go to sleep for a while. If you keep going like this, you won't be able to hold on."

Staying up all night is harmful to your health. If you don’t make up for the sleep in time, you may even die suddenly.
