With many hands making light work, Gu Bin's house was completed in less than half a month. The fact that it was built so quickly was largely thanks to Gu Bin's extensive network of connections.
Freshly cut wood always needs to be dried for a period of time before construction can begin.
But Gu Bin wanted to finish building the house and move in as soon as possible, and that's when his good relationships with others became apparent.
Many families in the village have wood, mostly saving it up to build houses later, since it's rare for a family to only have one son.
Having many sons means starting to collect wood early to prepare for building houses in the future.
Gu Bin urgently needed dry wood this time. Many of Gu Bin's close friends, knowing about the conflict between Gu Bin and other educated youth, took the initiative to exchange their own dry wood with Gu Bin, since they didn't need the wood they had saved up for the time being.
This was convenient for Gu Bin.
Of course, Gu Bin's good reputation in the village also helped a lot in this process. The group of people who got along well with Gu Bin had not yet obtained control of the family finances, so they could not make the decision to exchange so much wood.
At this point, Gu Bin's good reputation among his elders came into play.
The wood replacement went very smoothly this time.
Many elders also came to see Gu Bin's house construction progress and, of course, offered a lot of suggestions.
With plenty of wood and a large population, houses were built incredibly quickly, changing every few days!
This made Gu Bin very excited, and he showed off quite a bit in front of Xie Yan!
Zhai Nan Xie Yan could only express his envy; he could never learn She Niu's skills!
So all I can do is envy them.
On the day the project was completed, Gu Bin took Xie Yan to the commune to buy a lot of things. In addition to necessities such as pots and pans, they also bought a lot of rice, flour, oil, salt, and of course, plenty of fish and meat.
Gu Bin is planning to host a housewarming party as a way of thanking his friends for their generous donations.
Almost all the young men in the village will be coming! There will be at least thirty or forty people, and that's only if each family sends one person. If there are two people or a younger brother, there will be even more people.
Therefore, Gu Bin could only buy as much as possible this time. In preparation for the thank-you banquet, he even wrote a letter to the capital to ask for some money and tickets.
Xie Yan looked at the huge bag full of things and sighed.
He doesn't know if it's okay for him to temporarily break off his friendship with Gu Bin.
This huge bag must weigh at least 60 or 70 pounds. There are quite a few uphill sections on the way back. He might as well work himself to death!
Seeing Gu Bin still buying things over there, Xie Yan felt utterly dejected!
He hates all the rich and powerful people in the world!
real!
When Xie Yan finally saw that Gu Bin's bag was larger and had more contents than his, he felt a little better, but only a tiny bit.
After all, there were many uphill sections on the way back, which he would have to either ride or push.
Thinking about this, Xie Yan was completely overwhelmed!
I couldn't help but start nagging, "Why did you buy so much stuff?"
"Can't you just make do with any random dishes?"
"If you insist on buying so much, then you should invite a few more people!"
When can we take these two big bags back?
Gu Bin tied the large bag to his bicycle and sighed, "Do you think I don't want to call more people? There just aren't enough bikes!"
"If only there were two more cars!"
"We can go back easily!"
Xie Yan nodded, "Okay, I won't say anything more about this."
"Then why didn't you come yesterday? Why did you have to buy everything today!"
Gu Bin sighed, "I never expected there to be so many!"
Xie Yan: "..."
What else could he say? He was just born to haul things!
Gu Bin patted Xie Yan on the shoulder with a smile, "Brother, it's not that I insist on waiting for you to pull me, it's just that you're the best at it in our village!"
"I'm afraid the others will take my things and ride into the mountains!"
"When that happens, I'll have nowhere to cry!"
Xie Yan looked up at the sky and said, "It's really because I'm too outstanding!"
Gu Bin: "..."
It's not that exaggerated!
Just as Xie Yan had guessed, on the way back, they couldn't walk uphill and had to get out of the car and push it. Xie Yan was so tired that he wanted to give up halfway through!
Gu Bin wasn't much better off; his bicycle was loaded with much more stuff than Xie Yan's, and both of them were exhausted when they got home!
Xie Yan was able to scold Gu Bin at first, but later he was so tired that he didn't want to talk at all.
As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, Xie Yan got out of the car without saying a word, parked the car, and floated into the house like a wandering ghost. His clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and you could wring water out of them!
Normally, I would have showered and changed by now.
But Xie Yan was so tired today that she didn't want to move her hands. She lay down on her recliner and closed her eyes peacefully.
Yu Yuehui brought out the clothes, intending to have him change, but then she saw Xie Yan already collapsed there, so she silently took the clothes back.
I took out another coat and covered him with it.
Sensing someone approaching, Xie Yan wearily opened his eyes and glanced at them. Seeing that it was Yu Yuehui, he closed his eyes again with a sense of relief.
The warmth of the thank-you banquet contrasted sharply with Gu Bin, who was still sitting on the ground panting heavily.
While others are living happily, he is all alone!
So pitiful!
This really upset Gu Bin; for a moment, he even considered getting married!
Of course, this thought only crossed my mind for a moment.
What happened next was even more disheartening. Yu Yue untied the strap of her bicycle, picked up a bag in one hand, and turned to Gu Bin with a relaxed expression, "Come on, I'll open the door and put it in your house!"
Gu Bin quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, don't put it at my house, put it at your house directly. They haven't moved in yet, and there's a lot of food in here, the rats will eat it!"
Yu Yue nodded, turned around, and carried the two bags into the house.
Gu Bin was left behind, panting heavily.
He couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he can lead Xie Yan uphill, he's really amazing!"
The next morning, Gu Bin brought Liu Yihong over, and they began their day of washing and cleaning.
Yu Yue returned to the role of head chef, with Gu Bin, Xie Yan, and Liu Yihong assisting her. The group started washing and chopping vegetables early in the morning…
Around noon, villagers began to arrive one after another, bringing their own plates and bowls. With the plates on, the cold dishes that had been prepared earlier were brought out to serve.
There were quite a few people this time, filling the entire courtyard! Everyone was talking at once, making Xie Yan's head spin!
Looking at the people in the courtyard, he said to Gu Bin, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were getting married!"
Gu Bin: "?"
Xie Yan turned to Liu Yihong and said, "Don't you think so? When they came, they were carrying plates and tables and chairs. Didn't they look like they were having a wedding banquet?"
Liu Yihong nodded with a smile, "You know what, it really does look alike!"
Gu Bin looked at the two of them speechlessly, "Shut up and hurry up and serve the dishes!"
Xie Yan: "!"
Okay, part-time worker Xiao Xie is officially on duty!
