"Well, if you really want to give, just give ten cents. Two cents is too much."
"Thank you so much, Aunt Jiang." Both of them were very happy with the result.
I chatted with Aunt Jiang for a while and agreed to order a pound of meat and a piece of pork liver early tomorrow morning.
After paying a deposit of one dollar and inquiring about replacing the roof of the house, Li Qingyun left.
Aunt Jiang said that she should go directly to Brother Gu for this matter, as Brother Gu is an expert at flipping houses.
She didn't know about this. The book didn't write about such detailed things, and her original self didn't know her uncle's skill points.
She didn't want to disturb them at first, fearing that Mrs. Gu would nag again, but if all else failed, she could only ask her eldest brother for help. It was impossible for her to pay for an outsider when she already had someone at home.
At worst, I can give her more benefits to shut up Mrs. Gu.
I went home happily.
"I've agreed with Aunt Jiang to get some meat tomorrow morning. I've also ordered some pig liver, which is good for replenishing your blood. You two should eat more.
Also, it’s time to replace the roof of our house, otherwise it will definitely leak this year. Aunt Jiang, my eldest brother is an expert at replacing roofs. As his wife, I can’t tell him about this, so I’ll leave this matter to you.
Also, our toilet is wet, dark and slippery, which is also a problem. I'm really afraid that you and Pan Di will slip in the toilet one day, and it will have to be repaired.
I'll call my eldest brother over in the evening. You tell him about the roof issue and we'll pay him then. After all, he'll have to lose two days of work points.
By the way, I have to ask Dad to make another crutch for Pandi." Li Qingyun counted on her fingers as she planned the household matters one by one.
Gu Tingzhou fanned her with a palm-leaf fan, his face full of smiles.
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. Thank you for your hard work, my wife. It's a pity that my leg is injured. Otherwise, I can finish all the housework by myself." Gu Tingzhou said with some regret.
"Don't make any effort. Just rest and recuperate. That's the biggest help you can give me." Li Qingyun advised him hastily, fearing that he would do something reckless without caring about his health.
"I just heard from Aunt Jiang that we can now start picking wild delicacies. In the past two days, many people have gone to Lingzi after work to pick pine cones, blueberries, wild eggplants, dry grapes, hawthorns, and wild mushrooms.
I have never seen such a scene before. I used to live in the countryside with my grandma, but there were no such interesting things. I have made an appointment with Aunt Jiang to go together tomorrow morning. You can stay at home and look after the two children then.
We also have to start preparing firewood for winter. Our family has no strong labor, so she (the original body) used to ask Erniu from the village to deliver firewood once a month.
Erniu should be delivering this month's firewood soon. I'll ask him to prepare everything for the winter then, and we'll give him the money.
Speaking of this Erniu, he is also a poor kid. It is rare that Li Zhaodi accidentally did a good thing just to be lazy. "
After opening her heart, Li Qingyun no longer pretended in front of him, as if she had endless things to say.
Gu Tingzhou was happy to listen to her arrangements. He stared at her mouth and kept talking.
"Just go and have fun. The mountains are not as beautiful as you think. Follow the crowd closely and don't be alone. Your personal safety is more important.
As for Erniu, you're right. Helping him more can be considered a good relationship. Erniu's background is not simple." Gu Tingzhou reminded.
"Erniu's background? Is it that amazing? Why isn't it mentioned in the book? It doesn't matter. I don't want anything from him anyway. I just want my own peace of mind.
"I get it. I'll be careful. You underestimate me. Just wait, I'll definitely bring back a big basket of wild delicacies tomorrow." Li Qingyun shouted unyieldingly.
"Okay, I'll wait." Gu Tingzhou laughed.
After waking up from a nap, Li Qingyun found her former backpack and sickle from the place where she kept miscellaneous items, preparing to use them when going up the mountain tomorrow.
The sickle was rusty and needed to be sharpened, but that was no problem for her.
There was a hole in the backpack, and it was located very low. If she wasn't careful, things would leak out, which was a bit embarrassing for her.
Gu Tingzhou still had a solution. He found a piece of hemp rope and simply repaired the hole so that it did not affect the use.
"If I had bamboo strips, I would be able to repair it better, but it's not convenient to cut bamboo right now, so I'll just have to make do with this for now."
Anyway, he didn't have much expectations for her going up the mountain, he just wanted her to go out and have some fun.
"Wow, you're amazing. You can do this kind of work too. Now I believe what you said. You can handle everything."
"It's not that amazing. This kind of work is something that mountain people can do. They weave everything for home use, from big baskets and backpacks to small baskets and winnowing baskets, all by themselves."
Gu Tingzhou was so happy to hear the affirmation and praise from his wife.
After work in the evening, Li Qingyun went to her parents-in-law's house and gave them some homemade brown sugar buns. She also offered to make a walking stick for Pan Di, and Gu's father readily agreed.
He called Brother Gu again and said that Gu Tingzhou wanted to see him about something.
Brother Gu hurried over with her, without even having time to eat.
When they arrived, the family was waiting for Li Qingyun to start the meal. When they saw Brother Gu coming, Pan Di immediately got up and prepared to add more bowls and chopsticks.
"Stop working, I'll go back to eat. Second brother, just tell me what you want to say." Although Brother Gu's voice sounded cold, he came in a hurry, which showed that he still cared about his younger brother. He was such a person with a cold appearance but a warm heart.
"Brother, let's talk slowly after dinner. It won't take a little longer." Li Qingyun took the bowl and chopsticks and served him a bowl of porridge.
Gu Tingzhou didn't say anything either, and gestured for him to eat first.
He was very uncomfortable during the meal.
After the meal, Gu Tingzhou explained the whole story.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is easy. I can finish it by myself in two days. I'm switching jobs with someone tomorrow and won't have time to come over. I'll come the day after tomorrow. Sister-in-law, remember to go find the team leader and get the haystack ready."
"Okay, thank you, big brother. We'll make up for the work points you missed." Gu Tingzhou thanked him sincerely. Big brother had a hard life, and he wholeheartedly protected and loved his younger brother.
"Why should we talk about those things as a family? No need. Just provide me with meals. My sister-in-law is a good cook." Gu Tingchuan said with a smile.
He had recently eaten at Gu's house twice and discovered that food was not just for filling the stomach, but could also be so delicious.
The food his family cooks always tastes the same, lacking oil and salt, like chewing wax. It's all because of poverty, there's nothing he can do about it.
My wife has tried her best, it's just that I am not capable enough.
"Of course I do." Li Qingyun said with a smile. She didn't expect that this uncle would praise her.
"Okay then. I'm leaving."
In the past two days, Dabao has regained his usual liveliness with the company and guidance of his parents.
So he took over the burden of washing dishes again, even though the injury on his mother's hand had healed.
Li Qingyun was busy changing the dressings for the two patients, washing Dabao and Erbao, and washing herself.
After coaxing the two children to sleep and cleaning up, I lay down on the bed and was given a long French kiss by someone.
Ever since they kissed each other last night, he seemed to be addicted and wanted to steal a kiss from time to time.
It's as exciting as being an underground worker.
