In fact, Jiang Jinxiu had long been mentally prepared for the issue of the composition of Gujia Village.
After all, that's just how things are now.
Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu decided to contribute 100 yuan first, and they would make up the difference if they needed more money to buy vegetable seeds and seedlings later.
Seeing this, the others each contributed one hundred, and Gu Wendong and Gu Wenxi also insisted on contributing one hundred each.
As for the rest of the village, the village chief plans to ask them again when they gather for work tomorrow morning.
As for who would do the land reclamation, they decided to do it based on the work points they usually earned.
Whoever goes will have their account recorded, and settlements will be made on time.
The last few people recorded it in writing.
Accountant Li Can is an expert in bookkeeping. He has never made a mistake since taking over as the accountant of Gujia Village, so everyone will continue to let him be in charge of this part of the calculations this time.
And so, Jiang Jinxiu's first idea was finally put into practice.
Upon returning to the Gu family, Jiang Jinxiu instructed Gu Xichen to speak with his two older brothers, suggesting that they be involved as well.
Gu Xichen called out both Gu Laoda and Gu Laoer.
Yang Dongmei heard the noise and came out to see what was going on.
When Gu Lao Da and Gu Lao Er heard that it was their third brother and sister-in-law who proposed it, they immediately declared that they also wanted to join.
Yang Dongmei saw this but didn't say anything.
She always had a feeling that the third brother and his group would definitely succeed.
The problem is that Boss Gu is in a bit of a predicament; he's broke.
He hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask Gu Xichen if there was any other way to join besides giving money, but before he could say it, he hesitated again.
Ten ten-yuan bills were handed to him: "Brother, here's the money for you. You can pay me back when you have the money."
As Gu Laoda looked at the ten ten-yuan bills in front of him, his eyes reddened.
My third brother is still building a house, and I don't even know if he has enough money. He still needs my money now, what will happen if he doesn't have enough?
Will his third sister-in-law cause trouble for him?
Seeing that he hesitated to take it, Gu Xichen simply handed it to him: "Take it. The money I received as a reward from the army is enough for me. My wife agreed to it."
He patted him on the shoulder, telling him to take the money without worry: "The village chief will tell you tomorrow when we gather for work that Li Can will be in charge of collecting the money. You can just give the money to them then."
Having been brothers for so many years, how could Gu Xichen not understand what his elder brother was thinking? He directly dispelled all of Gu Laoda's concerns.
"Big brother, just take it for now. You can pay it back to third brother and the others when you make money later."
Gu Lao Er had tasted the sweetness of success; if it weren't for the money his wife had received, he probably wouldn't have been willing to take out so much money all at once.
Yang Dongmei was very pleased to see the three brothers getting along so well. Suddenly, she felt a bit resentful towards Yang Zhaodi. If it weren't for her, their family might not have separated yet.
Fortunately, even though the family has separated, the three brothers are all doing well.
It's tough on the eldest brother; he has to shoulder everything himself.
"Third brother, the first floor of the house is already topped out. Should we have a topping-out banquet, or wait until the second floor is topped out before having the banquet?"
In their Gujia Village, there's a saying that people hold a topping-out banquet when a house is built. In the past, people would hold a topping-out banquet as soon as a one-story tiled house was completed, and then find another time to move into the new house.
Now Gu Xichen and his group are planning to build a two-story building. Gu Lao Er is unsure whether Lao San plans to build it once or twice.
Gu Xichen looked at Yang Dongmei beside him: "Mother, you make the decision."
"Let's put them all together when the second floor is finished. Let everyone rest tomorrow. Tomorrow, you can buy some sugar cakes and throw them down from upstairs for people below to pick up, to bring good luck."
After returning to the room, Gu Xichen told Jiang Jinxiu what Yang Dongmei had said. Fortunately, Jiang Jinxiu was not asleep yet.
Upon hearing Gu Xichen mention scattering sugar cakes, Jiang Jinxiu tried to retrieve some from her spatial storage, only to realize that she had none left.
There was only rice, noodles, fruit, and some seasonings.
Jiang Jinxiu instantly deflated and slumped onto the bed.
Gu Xichen wondered what was wrong with her and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Jiang Jinxiu's muffled voice came through: "There are no more sugar cakes left. We'll have to get up early tomorrow to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some."
In a flash, Jiang Jinxiu led Gu Xichen back into the space. They saw that the house, which was originally full, now only had things on one floor.
Coupled with Jiang Jinxiu's rambling words, Gu Xichen finally understood why Jiang Jinxiu was like this.
Gu Xichen never imagined that Liu Jianjun's situation would be related to his wife. It was all his fault; if he had gotten rid of that person earlier, his wife wouldn't be in this predicament.
He held her tenderly in his arms: "Wife, it's okay. We'll slowly fill them back up later. Wife, you don't need to do those things yourself anymore. Just tell me if you need anything, and I'll do it."
Jiang Jinxiu shook her head: "No, I won't do it anymore. You just focus on doing your job well and stay safe and sound. We all need to be well."
Gu Xichen tightened his grip a little more. This little woman, he really wanted to embed her into his body.
He pressed her head to his chest, lowering his head to breathe in her unique fragrance.
The two hugged for an unknown amount of time before Jiang Jinxiu pushed him away and led him to the grape trellis.
She picked a bunch of ripe grapes and placed them in his hand.
"Xichen, how about we build a grape trellis in our yard sometime? And a pavilion for resting, and a swing area, since our yard is big enough anyway."
"Okay, whatever you say." Gu Xichen said indulgently.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinxiu smiled happily. She picked a few more bunches and put them in a basket.
“Let’s take it out and let our mothers and the others have a taste.”
If they ask, just say you picked them from the mountain.
Jiang Jinxiu happily wandered around under the grape trellis, searching for the bunch that she liked best.
As I picked the fruit, I kept thinking about my parents and Aunt Luo, who were far away in Beijing.
I wish they could eat grapes too.
Unfortunately, current transportation capacity is inadequate, express delivery is still slow, and preservation technology is not yet up to par.
She wanted to send it to them, but she couldn't.
After picking ten bunches of grapes, the two left the space.
As expected, Jiang Jinxiu called Chengzi back again this time.
Upon seeing the orange, she immediately tossed it into her spatial storage.
She noticed that the things in the space seemed a bit messy again and needed to be tidied up.
Some of the fruit should be harvested soon.
Orange was a little confused when she was thrown into the space, but after hearing Jiang Jinxiu's instructions, she looked resentful.
Jiang Jinxiu looked at it with amusement, and then, with a quick thought, put Xiao Hei into her space as well.
Upon seeing Little Black, Orange finally dropped its resentful expression and happily went to work.
And so, it's time for Child Labor Orange to go online.
When the two lay back down on the bed, it was already midnight.
Just as Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu had fallen asleep, she spoke again.
