"Xiaolan, your place is too remote and the courtyard wall hasn't been raised yet. Yujiao and I will sleep with you tonight. If you are not used to it, we can sleep in another room."
Qian Xiaolan was moved again and quickly invited the person into the house.
"Thank you, Auntie. How can you be so kind?"
"Sister Xiaolan is biased. I came to sleep with you too. Why are you only thanking my mom?"
Gu Yujiao pouted in protest, which made Qian Xiaolan laugh. She reached out and smoothed her hair, which caused her to complain again.
Qian Xiaolan smiled even more happily. Gu Dahai looked at Qian Xiaolan in surprise, who suddenly became cheerful. He said hello to them and turned to go home.
Qian Xiaolan locked the door and took the person to the room where she had just made the bed.
"Aunt, you and Yujiao will sleep in this room tonight, and I will sleep next door."
Hu Guifen glanced at the neatly tidied room and did not refuse. Instead, she asked her, "Is the bed in the next room made?"
Qian Xiaolan shook her head: "I'll make the bed this afternoon, and then put a straw mat on it and we can sleep."
Hu Guifen nodded, then went to the next room to check the doors and windows, then walked around the yard with a lamp in hand. After confirming that there was no problem, she returned to the house and went to sleep with Gu Yujiao.
After a while, snoring sounds were heard in the room.
Qian Xiaolan listened to the snoring from next door, pursed her lips and smiled, locked the door and entered the space.
Just a few minutes ago, she felt movement in the space again.
After entering the space, Qian Xiaolan saw the message on the screen and knew that Wenxuan's troubles were solved. His grandparents did not notice that the tea can had been replaced, so she felt relieved.
However, seeing the long list of words of thanks on the screen, Qian Xiaolan was still speechless.
She shook her head and left the space, then lay back on the bed and prepared to fall asleep.
I am really tired today, so I will not go to deal with Sun Honghua's family. I will wait for a couple of days until she recovers.
The next morning, Qian Xiaolan heard Hu Guifen talking to someone in a low voice in a daze.
She went out yawning, and saw a pile of yellow mud and some glass shards in her yard.
At this moment, the brothers Gu Dahai and Gu Erhe were still standing on the courtyard wall.
"Aunt, why did you ask Brother Gu and Brother Gu to come over so early to build the wall for me? They are busy at work all day, so we should let them sleep a little longer."
Hu Guifen turned around when she heard the voice and said cheerfully, "They are all young people, it's okay for them to sleep less. If you don't fix the wall, I won't feel at ease when I go to work.
The wound on your head hasn't healed yet, go back to sleep for a while, and when we're done here, you can go home with us for dinner."
Qian Xiaolan looked up at the sky. It was about half past five and still early, so she turned and went into the kitchen.
There was still some rabbit meat from yesterday, and she quickly started a fire and boiled water.
Scoop a full bowl of flour from the flour bag into the basin, add a little water and use chopsticks to stir it into small dough pieces. Set aside.
Tear the rabbit meat into shreds, put it into the pot and cook for a while, then put the noodles into the pot, boil the water, add some salt and a little soy sauce, turn off the fire, drop a drop of sesame oil into the pot and serve.
The soup is ready, then add a portion of cold cucumber and then a portion of cold tomato, done.
It took less than fifteen minutes to cook a meal, and the Gu brothers in the yard were still busy.
Qian Xiaolan brought the food to the table and went out to call them:
"Aunt, Brother Gu, Brother Gu, wash your hands and eat."
When Hu Guifen saw the food on the table, she scolded her, "I told you to come back with us to eat in the morning, why did you cook for us?
Since it’s ready, you can eat it yourself. Let’s go home and eat.”
Gu Dahai and Gu Erhe nodded.
Qian Xiaolan didn't say anything either. She went to the kitchen, fetched a basin of water and placed it at Hu Guifen's feet. Her attitude was very obvious.
The two looked at each other in silence for a while. Hu Guifen shook her head helplessly, squatted down to wash her hands, and called her two sons again:
"Xiaolan has already cooked, so let's eat first and then work."
The brothers Gu Dahai and Gu Erhe had been smelling the delicious aroma of food and were already hungry. As soon as their mother called them, they immediately came down from the courtyard wall to wash their hands and eat.
As soon as they took their first bite of rice, their eyes lit up.
There is meat in the soup!
They had smelled the aroma of meat a long time ago, but they thought that Qian Xiaolan had just moved back and there was no way there would be meat. Unexpectedly, there really was meat.
Hu Guifen swallowed a mouthful of rice and said angrily, "Hey, you are so polite, who eats meat so early in the morning?
You are so thin, it would be great if you could gain some weight on yourself."
Only after she gets her health in good shape and gets married, can she give birth to a child for her youngest son as soon as possible.
Gu Erhe finished his breakfast in a few seconds, smacked his lips and savored the taste for a while, then sighed:
"Xiaolan is really skillful. She prepared breakfast in just a short time and it tastes so good. The fourth child will be blessed in the future."
Hu Guifen raised her head proudly: "This girl has always been efficient and good-natured, and she is very likable.
It's because they have such a weird uncle and aunt that others don't dare to propose marriage to them, so it's a good opportunity for us, the fourth child."
After saying this, the mother and her two children laughed.
Qian Xiaolan felt uncomfortable when Gu Yanqing was mentioned. She smiled, cleaned up the dishes and went back to the kitchen.
She was so busy yesterday that she had no time to think about anything else. Now that she had some free time, her heart ached again.
He took a deep breath, washed the dishes, and then carried the bucket to the foot of the mountain to fetch water.
As usual, they put the bucket under the water pipe and went into the mountains.
The dew in the forest was heavy in the morning, so she walked towards an area with fewer trees.
The original owner had dug three traps on the mountain. Today she went to check the other two and found a pheasant with injured wings flapping its wings in the last trap.
He walked around with the pheasant in his hand, broke off a small bundle of bamboo shoots under the bamboo forest, threw everything into the space, and then went down the mountain carrying water back home.
The two brothers of the Gu family have already returned home, and the top of the wall is now full of broken glass.
When Hu Guifen saw her come back, she said a few words to her and went back to work.
Qian Xiaolan poured the water into the water tank, put on her hat and went out to work.
She still finds the current way of earning work points by working in a group quite novel.
She had good luck, as the double harvest was over just as she arrived. Now she just had to plant new seedlings and pull weeds.
The scorekeeper took a leave today for something, and Gu Shengli assigned the work points job to her, considering that she had an injury on her forehead.
She walked around the field with a pen and a notebook. No one else did anything, but Sun Honghua was so angry that she took it out on Qian Xiaolan by targeting the grass in the field.
Qian Xiaolan didn't want to pay attention to her, but when she saw her pulling out another "grass" in her hand, she had to speak out:
"Comrade Sun Honghua, please work hard!"
Sun Honghua, who was already envious, rolled up her sleeves and started to curse when she heard Qian Xiaolan's words:
"What kind of bird do you think you are if you stick a chicken feather on a bat?
"Isn't it just a temporary scorekeeper? What's so great about that? You still want to show off your power over me, ugh!"
