Chapter 49 -49 Repairing the Roof_1
Even in her previous life, she felt uncomfortable when a man entered her room, let alone here in ancient times.
Nan Feng’s heart leaped quickly but she didn’t stop him.
Brother Ye observed the room thoroughly and asked Nan Quanyou for a set of tools and a ladder.
With a straw hat on, he began to tap on the tiles of the roof.
Although the rain was lighter, it still trickled down.
Nan Feng stood in the courtyard, watching Brother Ye get soaked on the rooftop.
His garment clung to his shapely muscular body.
Although she felt fluttered, Nan Feng still yelled, “Brother Ye, why don’t you wait until the rain stops for the repairs?
You might get sick being wet like this.”
Without glancing down, Brother Ye waved his hand casually, “Don’t worry, I won’t get sick.”
Seeing his determination, Nan Feng didn’t try to persuade him further.
However, she guessed the roof wouldn’t be fixed anytime soon, so she asked Nan Quanyou to cook.
She intended to treat Brother Ye to lunch at their place.
Meanwhile, Nan Feng continued to sweep up the accumulated water, and the sound of tinkering from the roof made her feel reassured.
When the water was almost cleared, Aunt Lan came.
Looking first at Brother Ye on the rooftop, then at Nan Quanyou, and finally at Nan Feng, she joked, “Oh, look at you all, just like a family.
The son-in-law on the roof, the daughter tidying up, and the father-in-law cooking.
Ah, such bliss!”
Obviously, Brother Ye on the rooftop didn’t participate.
Nan Quanyou just laughed, “I wish this day would come soon.
But my daughter is grown up now.
It’s up to her to decide her matters.
I let them be, no matter what, I won’t lose anything.”
Aunt Lan laughed and looked at Nan Feng, “Miss Feng is whetting the appetite of Brother Ye, the more she whets it, the more eager he will be, and the more eager he is, the more he will cherish her.
The day when Miss Feng nods her head, will he not spoil her to the heavens?”
Nan Feng placed the broom, walked into the courtyard, and reprimanded Aunt Lan, “Aunt Lan, don’t talk nonsense.
Our roof is leaking, we were drenched all night, and you still have the heart to joke.
That’s not right.”
Aunt Lan said, “Not right?
Well, I will tell you something very right.
Last night’s rain was a rare event in ten years.
The river overflowed, bringing a lot of fish to the surface.
Almost the entire village is catching fish now.
If you don’t go now, you will miss out.”
Fish?
Nan Feng was worrying about what dish to stir fry to entertain Brother Ye at noon.
Now hearing there were fish by the river, she was absolutely delighted.
Brother Ye mostly ate the wild game from the mountain, perhaps he hadn’t eaten river fish that much.
Looking at Brother Ye, she quickly announced, “Brother Ye, just wait, I’ll go catch you some fish.
We can have fish for lunch.”
…
Nan Feng took a bucket and walked toward the river.
Before she even reached the river, she saw a swarm of people of all ages, both men and women.
The river was flooding, the nearby roads were covered with water, and it got deeper as she walked further.
Thankfully, it was a creek and not a pond, so everyone had room to fish.
Seeing many people upstream, Nan Feng took her bucket downstream.
The water was a bit murky after the rain.
Nan Feng had to tread carefully.
Suddenly, she felt something slippery touch her foot!
With her past experience in the jungle from her previous life, she knew this must be a fish.
Sure enough, she looked down to see a blurry shape moving in the water.
Nan Feng swiftly grabbed the fish.
It was a grass carp, weighing over one pound and still flipping around vivaciously.
Nan Feng put the fish in the bucket and continued fishing.
She thought she would catch more, but it turned out that the first fish was just an easy catch.
The other fish were not as foolish.
For a long while, Nan Feng couldn’t find any more fish.
What to do now?
The grass carp weighing over a pound would be enough for her and Nan Quanyou, but she had mentioned inviting Brother Ye for lunch.
How should they split one fish?
