Chapter 23: Her father must have helped!
The father and son worked quickly, and in half a day they had finished sewing a fur coat.
Even the robe that Gu Tang had cut was sewn together.
Now the days are getting shorter, and by the end of the afternoon, it is dark.
Gu Tang lit the oil lamp and asked her father to help her put the fur coat over her robe. After confirming that the size was right and did not need any modification, she fastened the buttons and put it on.
"How is it? Does it fit and keep you warm?" Gu Lianshan walked around Gu Tang and helped him tidy up the edges of his clothes.
The robe was very long, just reaching the ankles. Gu Tang was wrapped in the fur coat and the warmth quickly rose up.
"It fits well and is warm." Gu Tang nodded his head, very satisfied.
I lowered my head and looked around, and finally my mood became good again.
"With this fur coat, my second sister won't be afraid of the cold when she goes into the mountains in the future." Gu Ping'an looked happy.
He stretched out his hand to help smooth the wrinkles on her waist, and then said, "Last winter, because it was cold in the mountains, my second sister caught a cold two or three times throughout the winter.
You don’t have to worry about it this year. This fur coat is windproof, no matter how cold the wind is, it can’t blow through. Just like my uncle, he never takes off his fur coat when winter comes, and he wears it all winter long!”
Um???
Gu Tang was shocked: "You haven't taken off your clothes for a whole winter?! Wouldn't that make you stink? Can't you change and wash yourself?"
"Wash? You can't wash it! Fur coats will get damaged easily when exposed to water!" Gu Lianshan quickly interrupted and told Gu Tang not to wash it: "If it's really dirty, just put it in the snow and rub it a few times with the snow, but don't just throw it in the water and soak it!"
Gu Tang knew that this fur coat was the same as the fur from his previous life, and that it could not be soaked in water at will.
She was just shocked at how sloppy Gu Liansheng was. He didn't take off his fur coat for the entire winter?
Is this true or false?
Gu Tang asked again curiously.
Gu Ping'an nodded: "No, I won't take it off. I can't even wash it with snow! Grandma said that snow melts into water and can't be washed. If it gets damaged, I won't be able to find a second fur coat. So all these years, uncle's fur coat has never been changed or washed..."
Gu Tang couldn't stand it anymore. He wore it for the whole winter and didn't clean it for several years. How smelly would that be!
Hiccup——
Gu Tang couldn't help but dry-heaved.
"What's wrong? Is your throat uncomfortable?"
"No!" Gu Tang waved his hands and took a deep breath, "I just think that my uncle must stink in winter! I will stay away from him in the future!"
Gu Ping'an paused and thought about it carefully. Indeed, when his uncle wore a fur coat, there was indeed a smell.
Gu Lianshan knew that his daughter loved cleanliness, so he discussed with her: "You should still have some rabbit skins, so why not take apart the blanket and sew a fur coat with the remaining rabbit skins.
After all, this robe is long enough. When you take it off at night, you can use it as a blanket to cover yourself, so you won’t get cold when you sleep. How do you do that? "
That's a good idea.
If we take apart the blanket, we will have more rabbit skin.
Gu Tang counted on her fingers and told her father: "There are still about ten rabbit skins left. If we tear apart the blanket, we can get fifteen or sixteen. With so many skins, I can't use them all to make a long robe like this. Why don't you make a fur coat for yourself?"
Gu Lianshan refused without thinking, "Dad is cold-resistant. He has survived all these years. He doesn't need this fur coat. Since it's not cost-effective to tear it down, then let's not tear it down. Let's save some more."
Now that you have a fur coat, it will be more convenient for you to go into the mountains. It won’t be long before you can save up another fur coat. Don’t take apart this blanket for now.”
Gu Tang paused, then nodded in agreement: "Okay! I'll listen to Dad."
Although he agreed on the surface, he still sighed secretly.
There is no such thing as being resistant to cold or not. I just can't bear to give it up. To put it bluntly, I'm just being poor!
Therefore, we still have to find a way to make money!
Gu Lianshan didn't know what Gu Tang was thinking. He carefully checked the fur coat again, confirmed that there was nothing that needed repairing, and then put away the needle and thread.
Gu Tang stepped forward to help and rewound the scattered balls of thread in the sewing basket.
The ball of thread was half tangled when Gu Mei's voice suddenly came from the corridor outside the house -
"Dad! It's time to cook!"
Gu Tang: ...What a good daughter!
She put down the ball of thread in her hand and opened the door.
Gu Mei was standing outside the door. When she saw that it was Gu Tang who opened the door, her pupils shrank sharply and her eyes involuntarily fell on Gu Tang.
Is this the clothes her father sewed during the day?
The rabbit fur coat should have been sewn inside. When worn, you will no longer be afraid of the cold winter and snow.
Gu Mei's eyes turned red, and she hated Gu Tang and her father so much!
They said that the rabbit skin was earned by Gu Tang by catching rabbits himself, but this is just to fool a three-year-old child!
This damn girl Gu Tang only knows how to pick herbs. How can she set a trap to catch rabbits?
Any work involving trapping is a skill that only hunters can do!
How could a little girl like her have such skills?
Even if she wanted to learn, the hunter would never teach her.
These rabbit skins were probably obtained by her father with the help of Gu Tang!
It's just a pity that her father is too partial! He actually gave all the rabbit skins to Gu Tang!
Gu Mei became more and more angry the more she thought about it, and her face turned grim. She ignored Gu Tang and continued to shout into the house.
"Dad! It's past 3 p.m. Lai An said he's hungry and cold..."
"Does he have no arms or no legs?" Gu Tang interrupted Gu Mei directly, his tone sounding a little sarcastic.
"When he's hungry, he can only open his mouth and shout? Then what are his hands and feet for? If he can't use them, he might as well get chopped off!"
Gu Mei choked and her face turned dark!
Gu Tang opened his mouth and continued to curse: "It's already the fifteenth day of the lunar year! He can't even find a legitimate business! He was even stealing chickens a few days ago! Today, I didn't expect that he would dare to order his father around! If his father doesn't cook, I wonder if he will starve to death!"
The word "stealing a chicken" instantly made Gu Mei tremble with fear!
She immediately looked into the house, fearing that her father might hear it!
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes and Gu Lianshan heard it clearly.
Walking out with a gloomy face, Gu Lianshan looked at his eldest daughter with disappointment: "Did Dalang steal the chicken again this time?"
Gu Mei's face turned pale, and she explained in a panic, "That's not true! Si Ya is just talking nonsense!"
"Bullshit! I saw it very clearly a few days ago. My eldest brother led your cousins from your mother's family to steal a domestic hen. A group of four or five guys cooked and ate it in the dry ditch at the foot of the mountain!"
Hearing what Gu Tang shouted, Gu Lianshan was so angry that he clenched his fists, veins bulged on his forehead, and turned around and walked towards the small ear room on the south side of the west wing.
The house on the west wing consists of three rooms and two side rooms.
The annex was built with Gu Lianshan's own money after the lawsuit two years ago.
The purpose was to let Gu Tang live alone to prevent the money from being stolen again.
Gu Laian and Gu Pingan lived together in the southern ear room, and Gu Mei lived in the northern ear room.
There are three rooms in the middle. One is the kitchen, one is where Gu Tang lives, and the last one is where Gu Lianshan and his wife live.
Zhang was not at home these two days, so Gu Ping'an moved out and temporarily lived with his father Gu Lianshan.
At this time, only Gu Laian lived in that ear room.
