Chapter 143 The chain reaction is terrible

Gu Xiaoxi explained the blueprint to her son and was thinking about taking time in the afternoon to chop down the tree when she heard shouting from the kitchen. She hurried over to see what was going on.

At this time, three people ran out of the kitchen covered in dust.

clang!

There was a loud noise inside, as if something had fallen to the ground.

"What's going on?" Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing when she saw their gloomy faces.

When the others heard the noise, they also ran over. Gu Feng reacted the fastest. He went to the large vat next to him, filled half a basin with water and rushed in.

Crash!

Half a basin of water was poured in, and a cloud of dust flew up, choking Gu Feng so much that he could only sneeze.

Gu Xiaoxi reacted and went in to carry Gu Feng out.

"Next time you see a fire, don't be so impulsive. Look carefully at the situation first." She put Afeng down and wiped his face.

"I know, Mom. There's a lot of smoke inside." Gu Feng wiped his face, which became even dirtier.

"How could the ash not be big? She fell down while holding an oil can, and the oil spilled all over the floor. Just as she was trying to get up, the branch that had just been placed close to the stove didn't break, and it was too long and got caught on her foot.

I was about to shout when she hooked the branch out of the stove and threw it onto the firewood pile.

Fortunately, Mrs. Gu was quick and dragged her up, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Chen Qinian felt terrified at the thought.

The fire started suddenly. Fortunately, there was not much firewood nearby, otherwise, they would all have died here for a meal today.

Gu Xiaoxi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. This chain reaction was too terrifying.

Crash, crash!

A group of people poured water into the kitchen to put out the fire. Black smoke was coming out of it, but it was finally out.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the yard door, and Gu An went over and opened the door.

Chen San and his companions drove back in a horse-drawn carriage and saw smoke coming out of the house from afar, so they galloped their horses.

"What happened? Is anyone hurt?" This was the first question Chai asked when she rushed in.

"Aunt, everyone is fine, it's just this kitchen..." Chen Qinian felt a little embarrassed when he said this, because this is the new kitchen of Sister Xiaoxi's house.

Turning around, he scolded Ma Weiwei, "It's all your fault. Why did you go help out in the kitchen when you had nothing to do? You even burned down our new kitchen like this. Look how capable you are!"

Woohoo…

Ma Weiwei squatted on the ground and cried guiltily. As she cried, she said, "I'm sorry. I will compensate you. I'll go back tomorrow and find someone to rebuild it."

"You little brat, don't scare Weiwei." Gu Xiaoxi glared at Chen Qinian. As long as he was fine, everything would be fine.

Moreover, she believed that Ma Weiwei had good intentions, but was just too unlucky.

Chen Qinian felt aggrieved after being yelled at: "It was her problem in the first place."

"It's okay, as long as no one is hurt. The house didn't collapse. We can just repaint it after a few days." Seeing that the little girl was crying very sadly, Gu He also felt that she meant well.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ma Weiwei was also confused and kept apologizing.

Gu Xiaoxi went forward to comfort her, took her to wash her face, and went back to the room to change into clean clothes.

Min'er was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She had just left for a whole morning, and the young lady had actually gotten herself into this state.

Gu Dongming also took his wife to wash her face and change clothes.

Chen San wiped the young master's face and took him to change his clothes.

Chai and Gu Nanming went into the house to clean up the usable things, and had to move to the kitchen in the backyard to cook at noon.

The kitchen in the yard over there is mainly used for work, so there is no choice but to use it now.

The room was still a little hot, and some things couldn't be used yet.

At noon, I just cooked a big pot of white porridge and added a plate of vegetables, and that was it.

In the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi went into the kitchen and found that only the stove was black, and other places were not affected much.

However, the cabinet was burned and I had to make a new one.

In the afternoon, Chen Qinian asked Chen San to go back.

Chen San did not come back that afternoon, but came back the next day with a few workers.

Seeing so many workers coming, Gu Xiaoxi had an idea and asked them to help cut down more trees.

In the afternoon, they were cleaning the kitchen. She had nothing to do, so she took her uncle's set of tools and started tinkering with the wheelchair.

Gu An's hand has not healed yet, so he cannot lift heavy objects. If he really needs to lift something heavy, he can only carry it on his shoulders.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi tinkering with something, he curiously walked over and picked up the drawing next to him to take a look.

After reading it, he said excitedly: "Great, what kind of chair is this, Xiaoxi?"

"Uncle, this is called a wheelchair. After it's made, Uncle Sixteen and Uncle Yuan can sit on it and walk freely. It will be much more convenient whenever they want to bask in the sun." Gu Xiaoxi explained to his uncle.

For carpenters, this kind of thing is probably what they like.

"Is it really possible?" Gu An was full of curiosity.

"Of course, you are so experienced. Just watch how I do it. After watching these two moves, you will be able to do it yourself." Gu Xiaoxi planned to let his uncle learn as well.

Of course, Afeng, who worked as a handyman nearby, also had to be taught.

Having one more skill is a good thing for them.

When the workers working nearby heard about such a chair, they were curious and wanted to learn how to make it.

Chai had noticed the workers long ago, so she went up to them and moved the wood to the backyard for them to tinker with.

Gu Xiaoxi understood her mother's thoughts and took Afeng to the backyard with a smile.

"Brother Acheng, please take good care of Uncle Ayuan. He can't get out of bed now." She thought of Uncle Ayuan's situation and ran back and shouted.

"I got it, Xiaoxi!" Gu Yuan watched for a while and saw that they went to the backyard. He wanted to follow them, but his father needed someone to take care of him here, so he had to go in and guard.

There are many steps involved in making a pure wooden wheelchair, and some nails and other things have to be made in a blacksmith shop.

After telling Afeng and her uncle what she needed, she drove her carriage to the town, took the drawn drawings, and asked the blacksmith to make some iron tools.

The blacksmith didn't understand what these were used for, but since the customer needed them and could afford the price, he didn't ask.

When Gu Xiaoxi returned from town, it was almost dark.

Because we had to cook in the kitchen over there, dinner time was delayed.

The workmen spent a day patching up the kitchen.

They have been busy all day, there is no reason to let them go at this time.

Chai asked her eldest daughter-in-law to cook the half pork that Chen San bought in town yesterday, and everyone had a big pot meal together in the evening.

Ma Weiwei felt guilty for a whole day, and when she saw that Chen Qinian had done the job, she went to thank him.

"Thank you, Qinian." She lowered her head embarrassedly.

"I'm not doing this for you. I'm just worried that Sister Xiaoxi is too busy and it will take more time to deal with it, so I asked Chen San to go back and find someone." Chen Qinian said proudly, holding the bowl and going over to get some rice.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing when she saw this pair of enemies. She didn't believe that this was the only reason why Chen Qinian asked Chen San to find someone for help.

If it was a real enemy, given this kid's nature, he would only gloat over the misfortune and would not help.
