Seeing that there were pheasants again, Sun Xiaomeng couldn't help but swallow hard: "Third sister-in-law, we're having meat again today. Your cats and dogs are amazing."
Jiang Jinxiu didn't answer, but took the pheasant from Xiao Hei's beak and handed it to her: "You take care of it, we'll eat it together for lunch today."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xilan, who was in the kitchen, consciously rinsed more rice and put it in to cook.
Jiang Jinxiu looked at the excited Sun Xiaomeng and said, "Xichen's comrade-in-arms can get tiles. See if your second brother has time to help check how many tiles the house needs. Also, please include any repairs needed here."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaomeng became excited.
Their room leaked again during the last heavy rain and strong winds.
Summer is also the rainy season.
It's common for it to rain heavily outside while drizzling inside.
If they have enough roof tiles, they won't have to worry about rain anymore.
Even Gu Xilan, who was in the kitchen, excitedly ran out: "Third Sister-in-law, are you sure? Can you really get some roof tiles?"
Jiang Jinxiu smiled and nodded: "Your third brother's friend said it's okay."
Gu Xilan excitedly hugged Jiang Jinxiu: "That's great, that's great!"
Jiang Jinxiu let her hug her, but after a while she reminded her, "Are you sure you don't want to check the fire in the kitchen?"
Gu Xilan then remembered that she was still cooking. With a cry of surprise, she rushed back to the kitchen.
Jiang Jinxiu shook her head with amusement.
This girl is still as loud and boisterous as ever.
Their conversation was overheard by Gu Lao Da and Gu Lao Er, who had just entered the room.
In their minds, the third brother was reliable, and the friends he knew were probably not bad either.
Gu Xiliang: "Second brother, this afternoon you go and calculate the tiles for the third brother's house. Leave the ones at home to me, I'll calculate them and then I'll go help you."
Gu Xijing agreed with his elder brother's arrangement.
...
In the afternoon, everyone went to work.
Both Gu Laoda and Gu Laoer took leave and climbed onto the roof with a ladder.
After seeing Gu Laoda steadily climb onto the roof, Jiang Jinxiu confirmed that he was safe and went to check on Gu Laoer at the brick house.
There are only five rooms in the house, and it had been renovated before, so the task wasn't too heavy.
The brick house has eight rooms and a kitchen. It has been in disrepair for many years and was only recently renovated by Gu Lao Er and Gu Xiliang.
He is quite familiar with it.
When Jiang Jinxiu arrived, she found that Gu Xiliang was also there.
I don't know where he got a ladder from, but he climbed up.
The two divided the work, with one person counting on one side.
"Second Brother, Xiao Liang, please be careful."
"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, these are nothing to us."
"Third sister-in-law, go ahead and do your work. We'll let you know after we've tallied the numbers."
Seeing that she couldn't be of much help, Jiang Jinxiu wandered around the village.
She remembered that Guangxi Province was a major fruit-producing province, with a wide variety of fruits available there.
We can eat fruit almost all year round.
For example, the mangoes she picked a few days ago, as well as grapes, longans, lychees, peaches, tangerines, oranges, pineapples, dragon fruit, bananas, and so on.
However, these are special times, and ordinary households can generally only plant one or two trees; the rest are considered public property.
If possible, she would like to find more fruit seedlings to plant in the space.
Especially peach trees.
She wanted to plant a peach orchard and build a grape trellis.
There are still many wild fruits on the mountain, but I didn't see any children picking them. Instead, I saw several adults picking them.
Jiang Jinxiu bypassed them to find the fruit tree seedlings she wanted.
Fortunately, she found an unnamed peach grove in the valley.
There are ten fruit trees.
Many of the trees were laden with peaches.
Some were even overripe and rotten on the ground.
Jiang Jinxiu exclaimed that it was a pity.
She picked all the ripe peaches from the tree and found more than a dozen saplings under the tree.
She unceremoniously dug up all the saplings and transplanted them into the space.
Looking at the saplings in the space, and imagining them blossoming and bearing fruit in the near future, makes me happy.
Who doesn't love beautiful things?
Jiang Jinxiu patted the mud off her clothes and, seeing that it was getting late, decided to go home first.
As I passed by a thatched hut, I remembered that it belonged to Widow Lin in the village.
Just as she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of a man climbing over the wall and going inside.
Driven by curiosity, she went over to take a look.
It turned out to be that rogue old bachelor.
Widow Lin is not home; she's probably at work.
The old bachelor, familiar with the place, found an axe and started chopping firewood in the yard.
Jiang Jinxiu was astonished when she saw it.
It turns out that even someone who has been idle for decades could have such a scene.
After watching for a while and finding nothing interesting, she left.
She decided to go to the brick house first to see if her second brother and the others had finished counting, and also to share some peaches with Gu Xiliang.
From afar, she saw Gu Xijing about to come down from the roof.
The next second, her pupils widened instantly; someone had pushed over the ladder beneath Gu Xijing's feet.
Gu Xijing had his back to him and couldn't see anything.
"No, Second Brother, don't move!" Jiang Jinxiu shouted in terror, running over as fast as she could, but it was too late.
"Bang--"
"ah--"
Screams, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, rang out in the air.
Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds.
Gu Xijing's face was deathly pale, and he lay motionless on the ground.
Some tiles fell on him.
"Hehe, that's fun, that's fun!" The person who knocked down the ladder clapped and cheered.
Jiang Jinxiu rushed over immediately; she really wanted to slap that person a few times.
