"Look at the way you wipe the dust, it's all in circles. You need to wring the rag out well before wiping it, so there will be fewer water marks. Go away, you're not in the way."
Jin Yuanyuan pushed Gu Qingmeng aside and worked wholeheartedly, looking very skillful.
Gu Qingmeng: ...
No, this person is sick!
Did she forget that they had a fight today?
I clearly remember that I kicked her several times during the fight, and now this guy comes to help her with work?
I've never seen anything like this before.
"When we were packing, she started helping, even carrying the heavy luggage." Su Xue muttered softly.
She was also very confused about what this person was trying to do.
"Sister, Brother Pei said you brought a pot, take it out quickly because he wants to press the pot. The yellow mud is ready." Gu Guoliang shouted.
Gu Qingmeng reacted and started to unpack the package. Su Xue stood at the door to block the view outside.
He took out a large pot, a small iron pot with two handles, and two flashlights. Peijiagou had no electricity and relied on kerosene lamps for lighting at night. Gu Qingmeng found a kerosene lamp in the package, but there was no kerosene, so he could only use the flashlights to illuminate the room.
These things were all in the package, and I don’t know who prepared them. Her package was very messy. There were things prepared by her grandfather and grandfather, some prepared by her uncles, and some she packed herself.
"Gu Qingmeng's room has been cleaned up, and the kang mat has been wiped. You can put the packages in that room, and I will clean this room."
Jin Yuanyuan started moving the luggage without even raising her head. Gu Qingmeng was stunned again. Why did she suddenly feel a little panicked?
"Hey! We're all educated youth, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Even though we just had a fight, I'll still help when I need it. I keep my public and private lives separate."
Gu Qingmeng panicked even more. What was he talking about? This was not the time to ask for things from them.
"Gu Zhiqing, I have washed all the dishes. Can you tell me where to put them?" Jiang Yifen asked while holding the basin.
Seeing their expressions, I couldn't help laughing out loud and explained Jin Yuanyuan's character. She clearly wouldn't take any loss. She was growing vegetables in the garden, so she never washed dishes at the educated youth site.
Whoever she wants to scold can scold her? What she despises most is lazy people, which can be seen from the fact that she takes ten centimeters every day just like men.
It was the first time that Gu Qingmeng had seen such a person. The world is so big and full of wonders. It really opened her eyes.
"We're having a housewarming party tomorrow and you all can come over."
After saying that, Gu Qingmeng went outside to invite a few people to help. She saw Pei Heixiong picked several large baskets of vegetables. She didn't understand why he picked so many, as they couldn't finish them.
"Shuqin, teach Miss Gu how to dry vegetables. They don't know how to store winter vegetables, and they won't have them to eat in the winter."
This cheap granddaughter-in-law is an expert at drying vegetables. There is no one else like her in the entire Peijia Village. The dried vegetables she makes will not go bad even if eaten for two years.
"Hey! I will come to help Miss Gu dry the vegetables tomorrow. She will be able to learn it after watching it once. Haha, my maiden name is Zhang and my name is Zhang Shuqin." Zhang Shuqin explained to them.
In Peijia Village, she was considered to be older, and people called her grandma or great-grandma whenever she went out. No one had called her by her name for a long time, and only her grandfather called her Shuqin every time they met.
"Aunt, your name is really nice. From now on, I will call you Aunt Shuqin. Just tell me how to dry the vegetables. You don't have to come over to help me. It would be a bother to you." Gu Qingmeng said with a smile.
Everyone is working to earn work points, so how could she have the nerve to waste their time?
"It's okay. Don't bother me. I won't have to work these few days. I'll just stay at home to dry and store the vegetables. I'll come over to teach you as soon as I'm good at it." Zhang Shuqin waved her hand and said nonchalantly.
How much effort would it take to teach two girls how to dry vegetables? It would only take an hour at most. Besides, Miss Gu is pretty and has fair and tender skin, which makes people want to take a few more glances at her.
"Okay, thank you Aunt Shuqin!"
Gu Qingmeng no longer refused, because she really didn't know how to dry vegetables. She had seen it in videos in her previous life, but she had never tried it herself. The wisdom of farmers was the result of countless experiments, so she naturally had to learn with an open mind.
"Thank you Aunt Shuqin for teaching us!" Su Xue also expressed her gratitude.
They were busy until eight o'clock before they finished packing up. Fortunately, it was summer and it was not dark until after seven o'clock. They handed two flashlights to the team leader and Jiang Yifan and said, "It will be difficult to walk after dark. Take the flashlights and go back."
"No, we are used to walking at night. There is no need to waste electricity."
Zhang Shuqin's understanding of Gu Qingmeng was refreshed. The whole village couldn't even find two flashlights, and yet someone pulled out two at once. How rich must this family be? No, I have to remind Gu Qingmeng tomorrow not to flaunt her wealth. What if she encounters someone with bad intentions? The dog that Grandpa mentioned needs to be taken care of soon.
"Thank you! I'll return the flashlight to you tomorrow. The people who are raising the wall will also be here tomorrow. I went to the carpenter's house and ordered two bathtubs for you! They will be back in a few days. I bought two new buckets and installed a pot in the wing room. It will be convenient for you to cook in the summer. I boiled hot water in the pot..."
Pei Xinghe spoke a lot of nonsense, and everyone had different expressions.
The three people at the educated youth point had gossip written all over their faces. They wanted to hear more, but were sent away by Gu Guodong.
Su Xue almost rolled her eyes. Who didn't know that he had a crush on Gu Qingmeng? Except for Gu Guoliang, who didn't know at first glance that this silly boy was still laughing foolishly. His sister was about to be kidnapped.
Gu Guodong narrowed his eyes slightly, and soon he wrote a letter to his father, saying that someone was thinking about his sister.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, and thank you! I'll tell you the total amount of the shopping." Gu Qingmeng replied with a smile. She didn't expect the man to be so thoughtful. She was just worried about having no place to take a shower.
"No need... ten, ten dollars." Pei Xinghe wanted to say that he didn't need to give him money, but changed his words when he saw Su Xue's murderous gaze.
Now he has nothing to do with Gu Qingmeng? It is indeed inappropriate not to ask for money.
Gu Qingmeng smiled and took out two big unity notes. Ten yuan wouldn't be enough for these things, and there were two bathtubs. Twenty yuan would be about right.
Pei Xinghe held the money with a look of surprise on his face. How did she know that these things cost twenty yuan?
How can she be so smart! She is indeed the girl that Pei Xinghe likes.
After seeing off a few people, Gu Qingmeng closed the door and asked her two younger brothers to go wash up first. She and Su Xue took out some clean clothes and planned to go to the wing room and directly enter the space to wash up.
"Mengmeng, you're not really going to accept that Pei Xinghe, are you?"
Su Xue was worried. Pei Xinghe had been showing off in front of her best friend today. She was afraid that her best friend would impulsively agree to date him.
"Let's wait and see. It's too early to say that now. Only those who try their best to pursue you will cherish you."
Gu Qingmeng knew what Xuebao meant. Compared with later generations, this era was very harsh on girls. Conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and interactions with relatives were all troublesome.
People in later generations are all only children. During the Chinese New Year, they all go back to their own homes and visit their own mothers. They are used to being alone, hate trouble, and hate ineffective social interaction.
In her previous life, she didn't know whether her neighbors were old or young until she died. When she thought about the house, Gu Qingmeng's heart bleeds. She wants to spend her money!
