Chapter 76 The family was shocked after hearing this
Gu Xiaoxi told the whole family about Uncle Yunhai's situation.
The whole family was shocked after hearing this!
Gu Yunhai had consulted many doctors for his leg, and the old patriarch had spent a lot of money on it. If Xiaoxi could really cure his leg, he would become a famous doctor.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to be so shocked. If you're only half sure, don't tell anyone about this.
If he's not cured, there will be a lot of unpleasant things to say." Gu Xiaoxi said this to her eldest sister-in-law, and everyone else kept their mouths shut.
Xue also understood, and she nodded without any objection.
…
For the next few days, Gu Xiaoxi went out early and came back late every day.
About five days later, Gu An came back.
In the evening, Gu An brought meat to his eldest brother's house.
Gu Xiaoxi doesn't have to take care of the business for the time being. She only needs to bring back the thorn balls she needs every day and dig some herbs. She decided to visit her uncle tomorrow.
"Brother, Xiaoxi, Afeng's affairs have been handled. Tomorrow, we can go and get Afeng's household registration." After he said that, he happily took out a household registration form.
Goudan’s name is written on the household registration and his age is eight years old.
Gu Xiaoxi understood that her uncle went out this time to confirm Afeng's identity. She didn't expect that her uncle was such a meticulous person.
"Thank you, uncle! Afeng, kowtow to your grandfather." She looked at Afeng.
Gu Feng also understood the meaning and stepped forward to kowtow and thank his grandfather.
"Get up, get up. From now on you are the child of our Gu family. Remember to think more about your family before doing anything." This was the only request Gu An had for Gu Feng.
"Afeng will remember what grandpa said." Gu Feng nodded seriously.
"Thank you for taking the trouble to come here. Come on, let's have a drink tonight." Gu He was very happy.
Xue was also happy because Afeng had taught Dani a lot of new characters these days, and Dani could actually write her own name.
Gu Bingxue and Gu Ruixue also liked this gentle brother and learned to write with him every morning.
Gu Xiaoxi also felt that the child was gradually integrating into the family, and she had to cure the child's face.
At night, Gu An drank too much and fell asleep in the yard.
The next morning, Gu Nanming and his friends didn't have to go to the city. Gu Xiaoxi hired Zhou Dazhu's ox cart and picked up the old patriarch.
Gu Feng's household registration was completed that morning.
Now that Gu Feng has a legitimate identity, he can move around the village freely.
At noon, Zhou Dazhu took them to Gu Xiaoxi's house.
Gu Xiaoxi invited Zhou Dazhu to her home for dinner, which was also a celebration of Gu Feng's new life.
After lunch, Zhou Dazhu made an appointment with Gu Nanming for tomorrow, then sent the old patriarch Gu back and continued to run to the town before finishing work.
Gu Xiaoxi went back home with her uncle, saw where her uncle lived, and then went to see the land owned by their family.
"Uncle, I like it here. I want to build a house here." She said firmly.
"That will cost a lot of money." Gu An was worried about this problem.
Gu Xiaoxi said confidently, "Uncle, don't worry about the money. I'll work hard digging herbs in the mountains and save the money."
"Xiaoxi, this will be very hard for you." Gu An said worriedly.
"I'm willing to endure any hardship so that my family can live a better life." Gu Xiaoxi now wants to do her best to compensate the original owner for her family's debt. She feels that only in this way can she be qualified to enjoy the love of her family.
Um!
Gu An nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go up the mountain to look at the soil. If we can't finish it in the afternoon, I'll come back tomorrow." Gu Xiaoxi decided to teach his uncle how to make bricks. When the time comes, they have to pile some in the yard behind his uncle so that they can build the house on their side.
"Okay!" After agreeing, Gu An turned around and went to the backyard to get a backpack and a hatchet, so that he would have a weapon if he encountered prey.
There is almost no wool to be plucked at the foot of the mountain here, and even dry firewood is rarely found, because the trees at the foot of the mountain have almost all been cut down by the villagers, leaving a bare and very clean area.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect the situation here to be like this. She walked over to look at the mud.
There is a lot of moss growing on the outside, some of which has dried up.
She picked up a hoe and started digging, but she didn't expect the mud underneath to be red.
Red clay is very good for making pottery. She has made that kind of pottery before, but she lacks experience. If she really wants to make it, she needs to try it carefully.
Red clay is not only good for making pottery, but also for making bricks.
"I didn't expect that I could get it without any effort. There is ready-made red clay right here." She felt very happy.
"Are these suitable for making bricks?" Gu An didn't understand.
The craft of brick making is passed down from generation to generation and will not be passed on to outsiders. I can only say that Xiaoxi's master is quite amazing.
After looking at the mud for making bricks, Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the mountain and then walked up the mountain along a small path.
If you walk a little further up the mountain, you can see big trees. It is not particularly difficult to cut wood here. The most important thing is that there are few villagers coming here.
After a brief walk around the mountain, she had a rough idea of the situation.
About half an hour later, they went down the mountain.
In order to prevent outsiders from discovering that they were making bricks, she built a brick kiln in her uncle's backyard.
While building the brick kiln, she told her uncle what he needed to pay attention to.
The eldest niece was willing to teach him, and Gu An listened very carefully. Afraid that he would miss anything, he took a pen and paper to write it down.
Seeing his uncle writing down the process with a pen and paper, Gu Xiaoxi said, "After you memorize the process, burn these. Once people outside know that we can make bricks, it will definitely attract attention."
"Okay, I understand." Gu An nodded.
She was busy until dawn, then she said goodbye to her uncle and left with her backpack.
At midnight, she returned home carrying a basket on her back.
The next day, I started teaching my uncle how to make bricks. These bricks needed to be dried in the shade and then sent to the kiln to be fired for five days.
Red bricks need wind to cool before their color can be seen.
In the next few days, she still came to check on them every morning, waiting for the first kiln of bricks to be completed and for them to pile them under the eaves.
It rarely rains at this time of year, so the bricks cool down completely quickly.
When he was working on the second kiln, the old wounds on Gu Feng's face had healed.
She began to research how to perform plastic surgery on her son. With the universal payment window, the operation became much simpler.
The other thing is Gu Yunhai's surgery. His health is too poor, so he needs to recuperate for a while, so Afeng's surgery has to be put first.
When she returned home in the evening, she wanted to tell Afeng about the operation, but she saw that everyone looked angry.
"What happened?" she asked curiously.
"Xiaoxi, my second sister-in-law actually made sugar-roasted chestnuts that tasted just like ours. We lost a lot of business today." Gu Nanming was so angry that his face turned green.
