Chapter 176: Such a heavy blow?

It was already nine o'clock when Gu Xiaoxi woke up.

She was in a particularly good mood when she saw the newly built kitchen in the yard.

Everything in the kitchen has been completed except the doors and windows and the stove.

It goes without saying that Lu Jiansen and his team must have been busy until very late last night.

Just as she used her cleaning skills to clean the kitchen and yard and went to the kitchen to have breakfast, Li Guifen came in with a big news.

"Sister Xiaoxi, did you know that the wife of Deputy Commander Yin knocked on your door this morning?"

Gu Xiaoxi took a sip of porridge and asked in confusion, "Did she knock on my door? I didn't hear it. But why did she knock on my door?"

Li Guifen hesitated and squeezed her eyes at her, "You will never guess the reason."

"Huh? What is it?" Gu Xiaoxi didn't even eat breakfast and looked at her curiously.

Sister Guifen was literally the source of all the gossip in the entire military compound.

Li Guifen motioned her to put down her bowl and chopsticks, then she spoke slowly.

"Didn't you kill a wild duck yesterday? The news spread throughout the family compound. Later, the two children from Deputy Commander Yin's family also found out."

"Guess what happened next?" Li Guifen kept the question in suspense.

Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "The child is greedy, and he also wants to eat duck meat?"

Li Guifen nodded, "That's about what he meant! The two kids are eight and three years old, and they are fierce. When they found out that you didn't share the wild duck with Gu Xinli, they scolded her. They said that you are relatives, and you shared the wild duck with others but not with her, so she must have a bad character."

Gu Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows, "This kid is not stupid!"

Li Guifen snorted, "That's right. But Gu Xinli was already in a bad mood. She didn't catch any ducks or fish, and was scolded by the child. She took her anger out on the child and wanted to beat him. But the child ran fast and was very strong. I don't know how he pushed Gu Xinli into the toilet behind his house."

"What happened next?" Gu Xiaoxi was curious to know what happened next.

"The older one ran away, and Gu Xinli crawled out of the toilet and took her anger out on the younger one. She beat the child violently, leaving him covered in bruises. The child was young, so she didn't dare to say anything. It was only when the child started crying early in the morning that Deputy Commander Yin realized something was wrong with the child, and rushed him to the infirmary."

"She came to your house, apparently wanting to borrow money. I heard that the child's ribs were broken and he had to be sent to the hospital for surgery!"

Gu Xiaoxi was surprised. "Why are you so harsh?"

"That's right. That woman has a very evil heart!" Li Guifen curled her lips.

"She is a person who can deliver fish everywhere, and yet she still needs to borrow money from others?" After listening to the news, Gu Xiaoxi continued to drink her porridge.

She still had to eat breakfast, which Lu Jiansen had prepared early in the morning.

Li Guifen smiled and nodded, "We also said that. She usually appears to be quite generous, but she actually came to your house to borrow money. Later, when you didn't open the door, she went to borrow money from the house of Wang's wife who followed her yesterday."

"Oh? Did they borrow it?"

"I think I borrowed two dollars."

"Didn't Deputy Commander Yin say anything?" Gu Xiaoxi asked curiously.

She has never met Yin Chunsheng and doesn't know what kind of person he is.

However, if someone like Gu Xinli could be accepted, I guess he is not as honest as he appears to be, right?

"I think he scolded Gu Xinli a few words! Then he just stayed with the child."

"Fortunately, I didn't hear the noise and didn't open the door." Gu Xiaoxi sighed.

If I saw Gu Xinli's dead face early in the morning, all my good mood for the day would be ruined.

"Sister Xiaoxi, are you going to collect firewood today?" Li Guifen asked.

Gu Xiaoxi shook his head. "No, I'm not going. I asked someone to buy some charcoal. Sister Guifen, do you want some? If you do, I'll ask someone to buy more and I'll share some with you later."

Li Guifen's eyes lit up. "That's great. Do you want a ticket?"

"You can give me some other tickets, and I'll talk to the people. It's not a big deal. If you don't have any extra tickets, just give me the money."

"Okay, then see how much you can buy and give me some."

"Then please go back and ask Sister Feng Xia if she wants it. If she does, she can have a share as well."

"Well, I'll ask her later."

Li Guifen still planned to go to the mountain to collect firewood today, so she sat for a few minutes and then left.

Gu Xiaoxi went into the kitchen and used the air drying technique to dry the cement wall that was not yet completely dry.

Then, she measured the length of the kitchen, left enough space for the stove, and used the pine wood from the new product showroom to make a 2-meter-long and 65-centimeter-wide cabinet for kitchen storage.

On the wall, she also placed a hanging cabinet of the same length and 40 cm wide.

Because the style was simple, she finished it quickly.

Afterwards, she put the water tank from the original kitchen into the old grocery store, passed through the new product showroom, and then easily moved it to the side of the water well in the new kitchen.

The cupboards, rice, flour, oil, grains and various seasonings in the house were also moved to the new kitchen.

After stacking them neatly, she brought over two coal stoves from home.

Considering that it was almost noon, she started cooking on the coal stove.

On another coal stove, a pot of salted meat and tofu was cooked in a large clay pot.

To save trouble, she also used coagulation technology and a shovel to shovel out the entire bread cellar that Lu Jiansen had built for her and moved it to the new kitchen.

Just as she was stirring some leftover cement to reinforce the bakery, Lu Jiansen and Gu Dachuan returned.

The two of them also brought back two glass windows that had just been made to size. They were a little surprised when they saw how much the new kitchen had changed.

"Sister, how did you move these things in?" Gu Dachuan was shocked when he saw the beautiful storage cabinet.

Because the kitchen is rectangular, two small doors were designed for convenience. Taking the lighting issue into consideration, Lu Jiansen left space for two windows.

The kitchen cabinet looks so big and long. How did his sister move in by herself?

Gu Xiaoxi blinked his eyes. "I made it myself in the kitchen with wooden boards. I don't need to move it. I can just dismantle the cupboard and put it back together."

Gu Dachuan took a deep breath and said, "You are awesome!"

Lu Jiansen looked at his little girl, feeling both proud and helpless.

"Install the windows, let's eat first." Lu Jiansen felt that his efficiency was still too slow.

His little girl is the truly efficient person.

"Then you guys pretend, I'll cook some more."

Gu Xiaoxi pulled out a basket from the new cabinet, took out two potatoes and two green peppers, and made some stir-fried green pepper and potato shreds.

By the time Lu Jiansen and his colleagues had installed the windows, Gu Xiaoxi had already brought the food to the living room.
