After the meeting at Carpenter Zhao's house that day, Bai Guoguo was free again.
She didn't want to go to the commune to report. It was not a good thing to be too famous now, as it would easily attract jealousy.
She was not needed to negotiate with the surrounding communes for the supply of wood and planks.
Nowadays, cadres like to deal with men and look down on female comrades, so she doesn't like to go.
The last time they inspected mountain products, she was the one in charge, but the cadres only treated her and Li Xiuxiu as supporting roles.
Although she corrected her attitude in the end, she doesn't want to get involved now.
It’s not a complicated matter anyway, there are plenty of people in the team to handle it.
This time, in order to reward Bai Guoguo, the team leader and cadres specially approved a set of furniture for her as a prize.
Carpenter Uncle Zhao has already measured the dimensions and has been working on it with his apprentice these past two days. He said he wanted to make a set according to the drawings and put it in her room to see the effect.
So Bai Guoguo doesn’t even need to buy furniture now, she can just wait until the house is ready and move in.
Now she cooks lunch for the people who build houses every day, and He Gang will accompany her to deliver the food every day.
After lunch, I would take her for a walk, or go to the woods to pick some wild vegetables and fruits to trap some prey.
Now they finally have time to go on dates like ordinary lovers. Every night before going to bed, Bai Guoguo will knit for two hours while listening to novels.
The sweater for He Gang is almost finished. It will be finished as long as the collar is knitted.
The tiles on Bai Guoguo's house were laid yesterday, and today the craftsmen are building the wall around the yard.
Bai Guoguo had said before that she wanted to plant a circle of roses around the courtyard wall. He Gang went out early this morning and brought her back a large sack of rose branches at noon, and also dug up two old roots.
At this moment, Baiguo was holding a hoe and digging a small hole around the foundation outside the courtyard wall, and He Gang was also helping.
I don't know where he got so much strength from, but he held a small pickaxe in one hand and dug the hole faster than Bai Guoguo.
The pit they dug was more than 1 meter away from the courtyard wall, mainly to prevent the rose roots from damaging the foundation of the courtyard wall.
Although the foundation of the courtyard wall was made of stone, Bai Guoguo didn't want to take the risk.
"Brother He, the pit has been dug. You should take a break. Is your wound okay?"
He Gang had just had the stitches removed from his wound at the commune clinic two days ago. Bai Guoguo advised him not to help, but he didn't listen. She was afraid that he would rupture the wound.
"It's okay, it's healed already. Plant it quickly while the branches are still fresh. It should be able to survive for a long time."
He Gang waved his hand nonchalantly. He had been injured many times before, and he didn't care at all.
"Then you must take care to recuperate, otherwise you will suffer when you are old and sick!"
Bai Guoguo couldn't bear to see him degrading his body like this, and her face puffed up with anger.
"Hahaha...Okay, I'll listen to you, little housekeeper!"
He Gang laughed out loud at his behavior, and at the same time he felt very touched by Bai Guoguo's concern.
"Humph, you are the housekeeper, I will ignore you!"
Bai Guoguo gave him a displeased look, turned around and went to the creek to fetch water with the newly bought plastic bucket.
The branches need to be watered after being planted, otherwise they will easily wither and die.
He Gang rolled his eyes and laughed even more happily, looking naughty and mischievous.
I found that I seemed to have become childish recently. I always like to tease my little girlfriend and see her expression change.
Once he makes someone angry, he will try to coax them back to their senses without getting tired of it.
Bai Guoguo felt that when he was a child, he was the kind of childish guy who would bully a girl until she cried if he liked her!
Bai Guoguo and He Gang divided the work and planted rose branches in a circle around the courtyard wall.
The two old roots are planted on both sides of the gate. When the roses bloom, this courtyard will be so beautiful.
"Brother He, what do you think about me paving the path in the yard with pebbles? Then we won't have to worry about getting our shoes dirty on rainy days, and it'll look nice too!"
When Bai Guoguo was fetching water just now, he saw countless pebbles of different sizes in the stream, and this idea came to his mind.
I heard that walking barefoot on pebbles can massage the acupuncture points on the soles of your feet and strengthen your body.
In modern city parks, many places are paved with cobblestone paths, and Bai Guoguo likes those cobblestone paths very much.
"Okay, I'll go with you!" He Gang agreed immediately. As long as the little girl's request was not out of the ordinary, he generally would not refuse.
Bai Guoguo looked at the man in front of her with a smile, who picked up the plastic bucket to help her pick up stones without saying a word.
This man really dotes on her, much better than those little puppies who pursued her in the past.
It was already early May, and the water in the stream was still a little cold. He Gang only let Bai Guoguo stand on the shore and did not allow her to go into the water.
His mother told him that girls are more likely to get stomachaches if they catch a cold, and they will suffer when they are old.
He couldn't bear to see Bai Guoguo suffer, so he picked some wild fruits and let her sit by the stream to pass the time.
"These mountain bubbles are sour and sweet. You should like them. Sit down on the rock and I'll go pick up some pebbles."
After putting the mountain bubble in Bai Guoguo's hand, He Gang patted her head and turned to pick up pebbles from the water.
"I get it. Just be careful yourself. If the water is too cold, forget it!"
He Gang will be leaving in four or five days, and Bai Guoguo now cherishes every minute and every second with him!
