Shen Ningsi went into the room and told the children to take good care of An An and Kang Kang while she went to check on Gu Hong's yard.
"Mom, we'll go with you. Just let Yun'er take care of An'an. We're next door anyway, so we can go and broaden our horizons!"
Gu Xiuwen was also very curious about what his mother had been tinkering with these days.
"Okay, then Yun'er will have to work hard!"
Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Yuner with guilt in his eyes.
She was at the most innocent age and should have been playing with other little girls in the village, but she was very sensible and took care of An An and Kang Kang at home.
"Mom, Yun'er loves playing with her brothers and sisters! I feel uneasy if I can't see them even for a while!"
Gu Yuner acted like a little adult and patted her chest.
An An and Kang Kang saw this and giggled. They also liked this sister very much.
Shen Ningsi's nose was sore, and then she pulled Gu Yun'er into her arms, "Yun'er, when things are done, mother will take you to the county town to buy beautiful clothes!"
"Great! Yun'er knows that mother is the best! When the time comes, I will also buy clothes for An'an and Kangkang, as well as clothes for Xiuwen and Xiuwu, and for you, mother, and..."
After Gu Yuner finished speaking, she looked at Gu Hong who had calmed down.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy them all!"
Shen Ningsi gently stroked Gu Yuner's hair.
"Mom, just buy some for Yun'er and An'an Kangkang, we don't need new clothes!"
Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu hurriedly shook their heads.
They are already very content with the life they have today!
Gu Hong stood there and looked at the sensible children, and suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.
"Tomorrow, I'll have the best embroiderer in town come and measure you for clothes. You'll wear the most fashionable silk in the capital!"
At this moment, Gu Hong felt that he owed them mother and son too much.
"No need. When I have free time, I'll take the kids for a walk around town and pick out their favorite patterns. Companionship is often more important than a life of luxury."
Ana Shen said seriously, she knew how to cultivate a good relationship with the children.
"Mom, why not? It's only natural for him to buy us clothes! Besides, these small amounts of money are nothing to General Gu."
Gu Xiuwu spoke immediately.
"You bastards, when did I ever say I wouldn't spend money on you? From now on, all the household expenses will come from me!"
Although Gu Hong was dissatisfied, he still took advantage of the situation.
This is an opportunity to deepen my relationship with Shen Ningsi!
This time, Gu Xiuwu's bad intentions turned out to be a good thing! Gu Hong decided to be kinder to this child in the future.
"Mom! You better agree to it quickly, otherwise if we don't spend the money on us, who knows who else he'll spend it on!"
After Gu Xiuwu finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ningsi, his face full of anxiety.
"Okay, from now on, the children's expenses will be split equally between the two of us."
Shen Ningsi thought about it for a while and felt that there should be no problem with his proposal.
From what happened recently, she could feel that Gu Hong was not a bad person!
How bad can a person be who cares about soldiers who have risked their lives and are injured and almost useless?
"No, I'm a general, but I can't even support my wife and children!"
Gu Hong immediately rejected Shen Ningsi's proposal, and the veins on his forehead bulged. If the person in front of him was not Shen Ningsi, he would have been furious!
"Besides, if a woman has to earn money to support the family, then what's the point of my existence?"
Gu Hong said with a resolute look on his face, no one can change his mind!
Seeing this scene, Ana Shen sighed softly.
"Then you will be responsible for earning money to support the family, and I will be responsible for looking beautiful."
When she said this, there was no fluctuation in her heart. The wine would be able to be sold in a month or two. Although she earned 20% more than Gu Hong, Gu Hong would still be able to make a lot of money!
Let Gu Hong raise her, Shen Ningsi has a clear conscience...
"Okay! Shen Ningsi, I will make sure you live a more respectable life than those noble ladies in the capital! This is my promise to you, Gu Hong! It will never change!"
Shen Ningsi glanced at Gu Hong in surprise, she could see the seriousness on his face.
My heart started beating fast.
No matter how outstanding she is, she still has the fragility of a woman in her bones.
"Gu Hong, didn't you come to see me to see the bellows?" Shen Ningsi casually made up an excuse.
"Yes, yes, how could I forget such an important thing!" Gu Hong reached out and patted his head, then took Shen Ningsi's hand and walked outside in a hurry.
"Hurry, hurry, Tian Bo and the others are still waiting for us there!"
At this time, Gu Hong didn't pay any attention to the softness in his hand, and kept walking towards his yard.
Gu Xiuwu and Gu Xiuwu looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
In the yard, where martial arts training was once practiced, all the weapons have been put away.
Tian Bo and others were gathered there at this time, putting some things into the stove from time to time.
Shen Ningsi's eyes lit up instantly when he saw this scene!
"Madam, you're finally here! Come and take a look at this bellows I modified!"
Tian Bo came forward with an excited look on his face.
Shen Ningsi nodded and walked up quickly. Just as he reached the bellows, a heat wave hit him in the face.
"Xiu Wen, Xiu Wu, you two better stay away from this furnace!"
Shen Ningsi warned them immediately.
"Madam, we've put all the ingredients in and forged them just as you instructed! That's the finished product over there. We don't know the exact proportions, so please give us some pointers!"
Tian Bo's face was filled with excitement. If it was really as the general's wife said, he would be famous throughout the ages!
"I only have some general impressions, but these things are already prepared, so there is no need to rush for the next thing."
"Gu Hong, go find some thin wooden strips and place them separately. I've already thought of several ways to mix the cement. When the cement solidifies, the one that's the hardest will be the correct formula."
Although this method is rather clumsy, it is the most effective one.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
After Gu Hong finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Shen Ningsi was not idle either. He found a scale and weighed all these things.
Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu were also helping out.
Shen Ningsi wrote and drew on the paper, and soon he had all these things ready.
I got some water from the water tank and mixed it. When I was almost done, Gu Hong came in holding a thin wooden stick.
"You've arrived just in time. Just arrange these wooden strips in a "田" shape and pour the cement on top."
Shen Ningsi felt sore in his back after stirring for a long time.
