Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 348 Zhan Mengyan Moves Again

When Yunhan saw Liu Sida’s sincere attitude of admitting his mistake, her anger disappeared instantly.

Yunhan's expression gradually relaxed and the light returned to her eyes.

"Liu Sida, didn't you say you wanted to help your junior sister Yingying? This time I'll give you a chance, you must seize it."

As Yunhan spoke, a smile appeared on her face.

"Master, do you mean that you have changed your mind? Do you agree to let Zhan Mengyan and Zhan Zixun live in our house?"

As Liu Sida spoke, he looked at Yunqing with confusion and disbelief.

"My clever disciple, is your brain so stupid? Why are you so obsessed with this matter?"

Yunhan was helpless when he spoke, thinking: This apprentice is really addicted, how could he be so obsessed? But he didn't say it, he didn't want to make the relationship between them too awkward. Zhan Yingying left, and if Liu Sida was forced to leave, the barber shop would not be able to find a better apprentice to help for a while.

"Master, I said the wrong thing again..."

As Liu Sida spoke, he realized that he was anxious again and behaved cautiously.

"Alas, if a person's obsession is too deep, he must find a way to learn to let it go. No matter what others say, it doesn't matter. Being too persistent will only make the mind heavy. Buddha said that if you let go of obsession and have no worries, you can be yourself and release the inner constraints. From then on, you will be free from distractions and concentrate on the present. Only in this way can you manage our barber shop well."

As Yunhan spoke, she looked at Liu Sida with the loving eyes of an elder.

"Master, I must not think about anything else and just concentrate on improving my barbering skills."

As Liu Sida spoke, he looked at Yunhan sincerely.

"Okay, Master, I believe you. You said that Zhan Mengyan will move to our house in the next few days. Didn't you say that it's inconvenient for a girl like Zhan Mengyan to live on the same kang with five of us men? So we have to cut out a small room from the kitchen or connect a room for Zhan Mengyan. If your uncle Zhan wasn't injured, he would drive a donkey cart to bring some sorghum stalks to make a gable. When she was in the hospital, Zhan Yingying said that she would also drive a donkey cart to my house to pull sorghum stalks. I asked Zhan Yingying to concentrate on taking good care of Dad and Mom. As your master, I will take on this task for you."

As Yunhan spoke, she patted Liu Sida gently.

"Yes, my family planted sorghum in the fields this year, and we have sorghum stalks. It is convenient to get the sorghum stalks from my house to yours, so Sister Yingying doesn't have to work so hard to drive a donkey cart for dozens of miles to deliver them."

When Liu Sida spoke, he was extremely happy, as if a wish had come true.

"Okay, go home now and sort the sorghum stalks. Go to my house and ask your second brother Yun Dawen to help. Wait for Yun Daren and Yun Daqing to get off work and ask them to come and help as well."

As Yunhan spoke, she looked at Liu Sida's happy expression and shook her head.

That day, Zhan Zixun and Zhan Mengyan asked for leave, borrowed a bicycle, and went to Liu Wei's house. Only Liu Wei's mother was at home. The two said as Yunqing instructed: "We have applied for a bed at school. Thank you for bothering us these days." After thanking politely, they packed their luggage, handed over the key to the corner door, and rode their bicycles with their luggage to Yunhan's house...

"Sister Mengyan, you've moved again. Don't you find it annoying? I didn't want to stay at my third cousin's house, but I agreed to go there to accompany you."

While Zhan Zixun was speaking, he glanced at Zhan Mengyan's luggage package on the bicycle.

"Who wants to move every other day? I live in the county sports school temporarily. In order not to affect my studies, I only help the county sports school play basketball occasionally, so I can't live in the sports school for a long time. My fifth cousin helped me contact the canning factory for a job with hawthorn seeds, and I also stayed in the canning factory. Dad found me a place to stay at the old Kong family. Their place is very crowded. Grandma Kong was sick again and passed away. The funeral forced me to move again. Living in Liu Wei's house was too abrupt. I really shouldn't have moved here. Mom said that a small room could be cut out of the house at my third cousin's house. This time I can finally have my own room. It's great to have a stable residence! If brother Zixun is not used to living in my third cousin's house, you can move back to school. I will apply for a few more basketball games and earn enough for your accommodation. Brother Zixun is already used to living in school. The third cousin's house is five or six miles away from the school. When I go to and from school, I am used to running. For brother Zixun, it may not be as convenient as living in school."

When Zhan Mengyan spoke, she revealed her guilt for implicating Zhan Zixun.

"Of course it's convenient to live in school. In the morning, I get up, wash up, and walk a few steps to the classroom. You can get used to living anywhere. I admire your ability to adapt to new environments..."

While Zhan Zixun was speaking, he looked at Zhan Mengyan in confusion. He wondered how his sister, with such a thin body, could have such great energy in order to go to high school.

Zhan Zixun and Zhan Mengyan came to the house of their third cousin Yunhan.

"Sister Yingying, when did you come? Didn't you go home to take care of your father and mother?"

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she threw herself into Zhan Yingying's arms in surprise.

"You are already a high school student, but you still act like a child. Hurry up and pack your luggage and go study with brother Zixun. I sent my father and mother home, and worried about the accommodation problem, so I rode my bicycle back. When I got to the barber shop, my third cousin said that my senior brother had gone to fetch sorghum stalks. I arrived at my third cousin's house, and it happened that my senior brother and second cousin had fetched the sorghum stalks. By the way, you have to thank your brother Sida for helping us fetch the sorghum stalks from home. We will use the sorghum stalks to build a small room for you later. Just now, your brother Sida surveyed the terrain and decided to build a back gate behind the kitchen as your small room, and build a small kang inside."

While Zhan Yingying was talking, she began to bundle the sorghum stalks.

"Thank you, Brother Star!"

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she bowed deeply to Liu Sida.

"Oh, sister Mengyan, I can't bear such a big gift from you. It's nothing to just pull some sorghum stalks. You are too polite. Junior sister Yingying, you tie the sorghum bundles first, five in a bundle, and I will pull the soil, make mud, and stuff the mud with second brother Dawen. Then we will tie the sorghum bundles together. After the sorghum bundles are tied, the mud will be almost stuffed. In this way, after we build the sorghum wall, we can apply mud on the wall. This way, we won't delay the work and save time."

When Liu Sida spoke, he sounded like a construction engineer and engineering commander-in-chief.

"Sister Yingying, how can I just stand by and watch you build a house for me? I'll help you tie the sorghum bundles."

While Zhan Mengyan was talking, she rolled up her sleeves and started working.

Seeing that everyone was working enthusiastically, Zhan Zixun also went out of the house to help with the mud. When he was tired, he went to help tie the sorghum bundles. In this way, he changed jobs from time to time.

Yundaren and Yundaqing got off work earlier than usual today and joined in the work.

"What are you doing? What kind of construction are you doing?"

As Yundafeng was speaking, she walked into the yard and saw her younger brothers and sisters, all with mud and dust on their faces.

"Sister Dafeng, why are you here? We are busy building a room for sister Mengyan."

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she was standing on a high stool and smearing mud on the newly built sorghum stalk wall with both hands.

"Zhan Yingying, what kind of wall did you paint? It's not even smooth! There are gaps and cracks on it. How can people live here? The northwest wind will blow the house apart."

As Yundafeng spoke, she threw the vegetables she was carrying to the ground and pointed at the crack in the wall.

"I applied the first coat of mud by hand to fill the big holes first, then applied the second coat to fill the small holes, and finally used a mud board to level it."

While Zhan Yingying was speaking, she jumped down from the high stool, scooped some water from the bucket with a ladle and drank a few big gulps, breathing heavily, with sweat on her forehead running down her cheeks.

"Look at your sweaty face, Zhan Yingying, did you have a conflict with Liu Wei?"

While Yundafeng was speaking, she used her sleeve to wipe the sweat from Yingying's forehead.

"No, it's just that my dad was injured this time. I was in the hospital taking care of him and didn't have time to contact him."

Zhan Yingying looked nonchalant when she spoke.

"My uncle-in-law is injured. Why didn't you tell Liu Wei? Ask him to help you take care of my uncle-in-law. As the saying goes: A son-in-law is half a son. You need him at the critical moment."

Yundafeng revealed a complaining expression when she spoke.

"Sister Dafeng, what are you talking about? Liu Wei and I didn't have an engagement party, and we didn't get married. How can Liu Wei be considered my father's son-in-law?"
