Chapter 171 It’s great to have a wife!
Gu Dachuan thought the kitchen was actually quite large, so he suggested, "How about partitioning the kitchen so that it can become two rooms, so that even if grandpa comes, there will be a place to stay."
Anyway, they won't stay for long, so the size of the room doesn't matter.
"Then you might as well talk to the political commissar and ask him to approve the vacant land in your backyard or on the side, and build two more rooms. Anyway, with your rank as deputy regiment commander, you should be able to get a bigger house." Luo Yang also gave his own suggestions.
Gu Xiaoxi shook his head when he heard this. "Building two more houses is too troublesome and time-consuming. My parents don't live here all the time. Besides, it looks like it's going to snow soon. I'm a little afraid of the hassle."
Building a house is a real hassle, but building a kitchen isn't that much of a hassle.
"Then just build a kitchen. One day will be enough." Lu Jiansen decided to ask the logistics department to help purchase materials in the evening.
"Then why don't we build the kitchen next to the well, frame the well into the kitchen, and then raise the well a little higher. This way it will be safer and more convenient to use water." Gu Xiaoxi was already thinking about how to build a better kitchen.
Gu Dachuan's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea."
"Then we can just plan the entire side of the yard near the well into the kitchen and build a rectangular kitchen. This way the yard will not be greatly affected." Li Kun thought this was the best idea.
Everyone contributed ideas and a plan was quickly decided upon.
After chatting for a while, Gu Dachuan, Luo Yang and Li Kun left.
Gu Xiaoxi had nothing to do, so she went into the room and sat on the bed to knit a sweater.
When Lu Jiansen came over, he saw the little girl knitting a sweater again, a men's style, and he couldn't help but rub her head gently.
"Who is this for?"
Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyes to look at him and said, "I knit it for you!"
"I don't need so many clothes. And you knitted one for me last time." Lu Jiansen didn't want her to work so hard.
Gu Xiaoxi said as she knitted: "Wear it during the Chinese New Year! Wear a new sweater during the Chinese New Year. I won't make any other clothes for you."
Lu Jiansen chuckled, feeling warm and sweet in his heart.
This was the first time since he turned ten that someone thought of giving him new clothes for the New Year.
It’s great to have a wife!
After watching her weaving for a while, he couldn't help but say, "How about I help you weave?"
This way, the sweater is knitted by both of them together, and it should be warmer when worn!
Gu Xiaoxi looked at him in surprise, "You can do it too? Well, you try it."
Lu Jiansen took it over and slowly knitted two stitches at first. When he made no mistakes, he quickly got the hang of it.
Moreover, the weaving speed is quite fast.
Gu Xiaoxi was immediately happy, "Then you weave it first, and I will weave the sleeves."
The two of them divided the work and worked together at a very fast speed. The atmosphere in the room was also particularly good.
However, Lu Jiansen did not plan to finish knitting the sweater tonight. He still wanted to do something else with his little girl.
So, after weaving for two hours, he put down what he was doing and hugged the person into the quilt.
The intense kiss soon made Gu Xiaoxi addicted.
…
The next day.
Gu Xiaoxi started working at the same time as Lu Jiansen.
What’s rare is that the two of them even had breakfast together.
After Lu Jiansen went to the army, Gu Xiaoxi took some wooden boards from the new product showroom and prepared to make a shelf to be placed in the accompanying small space.
Just as she started to move, a line of large golden characters suddenly flashed before her eyes.
Woodcraft Master (requires 5 merit points)
Gu Xiaoxi actually felt that she was doing a pretty good job at carpentry, but in order to keep improving, she still spent 5 merit points.
After integrating a vast amount of wood art knowledge into her mind, she suddenly realized that she was still superficial.
A true master of woodworking has the spirit of a craftsman and can even build a house without using a single nail.
Before, she just relied on her super repair skills to make things, but there are some differences.
After taking the time to make an extra-large and extra-tall storage rack that spanned half of the accompanying small space, she packed up her things and rode her bike out.
She plans to go to the scrapyard today.
Coincidentally, as soon as she left the courtyard, she met Li Guifen and Feng Xia who were returning from buying groceries.
"Sister-in-law, you're back from buying groceries!" Gu Xiaoxi stopped his bike and greeted them with a smile.
When Li Guifen and Feng Xia saw that it was Gu Xiaoxi, they immediately smiled.
"Sister Xiaoxi, are you going to buy vegetables?" Li Guifen asked.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and shook his head, "No! I'm going to the scrapyard."
"Oh, you are going to work!" Li Guifen also reacted.
"Xiaoxi, can you bring me some old newspapers when you come back?" Feng Xia suddenly asked.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded and said, "No problem, I'll bring it to you when I get back."
"Then go quickly! We'll talk when you come back." Li Guifen waved at her.
"Hey!" Gu Xiaoxi responded and rode away on his bike.
When Gu Xiaoxi arrived at the scrapyard, he found that the place had changed a lot.
Well, it's just empty, with almost no garbage or waste.
For a moment, she was a little confused.
When she reached the gatehouse, Master Qi just came out.
When Master Qi saw her, he immediately laughed, "You are back from Qingbei City!"
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, "You already know that I'm going to Qingbei City?"
Master Qi raised his eyebrows, "Yes, I also know that you also participated in the rescue in Xiling Province, and you can fly a helicopter!"
Gu Xiaoxi was also amused. "You really are a know-it-all. But why is this place so empty?"
Not to mention the clutter, even the things she had sorted out before were gone, even the long shelf was gone.
At this point, Master Qi was delighted. "You don't know, during the recent snowstorm, many villagers' houses collapsed, and they were later relocated here."
"After the villagers relocated their houses, they bought all the furniture here. You piled the rotten wood so neatly that they thought it looked good and rushed to buy it and burn it. It's snowing so hard that any firewood you pick up from the ground is wet. It's much easier to buy a pile of firewood..."
As he said this, he went back into the house and took out an envelope for her.
"This is your salary for this month. The leader also approved a bonus of four yuan for you! He said that you built the shed well and helped the people during the snowstorm. You did an excellent job."
Gu Xiaoxi opened the envelope and took a look. He found there were thirty yuan in total, so he took out ten yuan and gave them to Master Qi.
Master Qi shook his head and said, "It was agreed to be five yuan."
Gu Xiaoxi blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't there a bonus?"
Master Qi said with a smile: "That's only five dollars."
"Well, how about I get two dollars in bonus, and you and Uncle Xu get one dollar each? There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Master Qi laughed, "Okay!"
"Give Uncle Xu's money to him." Then she gave Uncle Qi seven yuan.
After putting the money away, she looked at the empty scrap yard with worry.
"There's nothing left. Do we have to stop working?"
She was thinking of earning some points!
