Chapter 76 Let’s celebrate!
Aunt Ding became more and more excited as she spoke. She really didn't know how to thank him. She could only bow to Gu Tang repeatedly and asked her sons and daughters-in-law to bow together to express her gratitude.
Gu Tang hurriedly stepped aside to support the man: "Your family has been busy for so long, this is what you deserve. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank yourselves. I don't deserve this gratitude."
After helping the man up, she smiled and said, "It's getting late. I really have nothing here. I can't even boil some hot water. I won't talk nonsense and I'll keep you here. Anyway, we're close from now on. We can visit each other often in the future."
"Oh my! Then my family is so lucky. It is an unimaginable blessing to be able to have frequent contact with the girl's family!"
Aunt Ding kept praising Gu Tang with a flattering look on her face.
Gu Tang also praised the Ding family and praised Aunt Ding so much that she laughed heartily all the time.
The previous restraint was now completely gone.
Gu Tang enthusiastically saw them off through the back door and said that after they officially moved in, they would definitely visit the Ding family.
Aunt Ding grabbed Gu Tang's hand, smiled and told her to go, and that she would definitely treat her well.
After seeing the Ding family off, Gu Tang locked the back door and returned to the second courtyard to wait for her father.
Gu Ping'an was still checking every room carefully, not to mention how thorough he was.
Gu Tang found him and tapped his forehead: "I asked you to check, did you really check? Just take a general look. If there are really dirty places, can you still call them back to clean it again?"
"That won't happen." Gu Ping'an rubbed his forehead, "With so many rooms, if I really miss one or two dirty places, that's okay, I'm not the kind of person who would care about every little thing.
But the more I checked, the more I found it strange. The Ding family really didn't mess around at all. They cleaned every nook and cranny."
"Isn't this great? If we have any cleaning work in the future, we can ask them to do it. It's much cleaner than cleaning it ourselves!"
What Gu Tang said was the truth, she hated cleaning the house the most, and so did her father. At home they just did it casually, as long as it was acceptable.
Not to mention Gu Laian and Gu Mei, one room looks like a doghouse and the other looks like a warehouse.
The former is dirty and smelly, and the latter is a hoarder who throws everything into his room and doesn't know how to tidy it up.
She made the whole room look like a messy warehouse. Except for the place to sleep, there was really no space anywhere else.
Gu Ping'an does know how to clean and tidy up the house, but his movements are slow and meticulous, and cleaning a house can be so frustrating!
Therefore, when she proposed to spend a few cents to hire someone to clean the yard, her father, who had always been frugal, agreed to her suggestion very readily.
Otherwise, with her father being such a stingy person, he would never agree to this.
While the brother and sister were talking, there was a noise coming from the second door.
Before the siblings left the house, their father's loud voice rang out from outside: "Daughter! Dad is back! Why is there no one in the yard? Is everything cleaned up?"
Gu Tang came out of the house: "People are leaving, except for the shop in front, the rest are all cleaned."
When she was about to stand in the corridor, she saw her father carrying a backpack on his back.
After walking up and taking a few curious glances, Gu Tang asked, "Where did you get the backpack?"
“Dad asked the locksmith for it. Dad bought six new locks from him and asked him to give it a discount, but he said it was impossible.
Dad asked him to bring something as a gift, and he picked up the backpack at the door and handed it to me, saying it was a gift, and Dad was carried back."
Gu Tang's mouth twitched, and he praised him against his will: "Dad knows how to live. He even asked for a backpack when buying a lock. He is much better than me. I don't know how to bargain."
"Next time you buy something, come with me and I'll teach you how to bargain for extra money!"
Gu Lianshan looked very proud. He put the backpack on the ground, took out the lock and handed it to Gu Tang.
Gu Tang didn't say anything. He took the lock and went to the backyard to change the lock of the back door.
Coming back from the backyard, Gu Tang discovered that her father was touching various items in the house with his hands. After that, he looked at his hands to make sure there was no dust, and then he hummed a little tune with satisfaction.
Seeing Gu Tang enter the room, Gu Lianshan asked her how many copper coins she had given.
Gu Tang held up four fingers and said, "I gave you forty copper coins."
Gu Lianshan frowned, feeling a little distressed!
But if you count on your fingers, forty copper coins doesn't seem too much to clean a yard this big.
"What? Are you feeling bad?" Gu Tang raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile, "It was you who didn't want to clean up before. If you are willing, these forty copper coins are yours."
Gu Lianshan shuddered all over, he hated cleaning the house!
If he had to clean such a big yard by himself, he would rather spend forty copper coins!
Gu Lianshan cleared his throat and said seriously, "It's only forty copper coins, not much. There's no need for Dad to feel bad about it."
Yes, yes, yes! I don’t feel bad!
Gu Tang glanced at him. He didn't know which one it was just now. When he heard the price of forty copper coins, his brows furrowed so much that they could kill a mosquito!
"Now that the house has been cleaned, let's hurry back to the inn before it gets completely dark." Gu Lianshan put the backpack on his back and walked out.
"There's nothing here, so it's not suitable for living here for now. Let's buy some bedding and stuff tomorrow, and then we can move in."
Indeed, it is not summer now. If there is no quilt to keep warm, you will freeze to death sleeping here at night!
After locking the rooms one by one and finally locking the front door, the father and his two sons walked anxiously towards the inn.
This place is a bit far from the inn, and it took about quarter of an hour to get back to the inn.
It was almost time for dinner and there was still some leftover food in the inn.
I successfully bought a yard today, this is a great joy!
Although they couldn't make it public, the three of them, father and son, could celebrate in a good way.
Gu Lianshan, who had always been stingy, was generous for once and ordered two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a pot of wine.
I must have a few more drinks tonight and have a good time.
During the meal, Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an were the most excited at the thought of moving into their new house soon, and they talked a lot more than usual.
Gu Lianshan decided to prepare everything properly. No matter what was missing in the new yard, it must be purchased by tomorrow.
From now on, when they come to Bei'an City again, they don't have to rush to come and go. It is up to them to come and go whenever they want.
They no longer have to worry about where to stay, nor do they have to feel bad about spending money to stay in an inn, as they already have a house in Bei'an City.
Seeing that her father was happy at the moment, Gu Tang took the opportunity to suggest that she choose the things needed for the new home tomorrow.
For example, bedding, pots and pans in the kitchen, stoves for heating, charcoal, firewood, etc.
Regardless of whether they come to stay or not, these things must be prepared to be prepared.
Gu Lianshan had already drunk several cups of wine and was quite drunk at the moment, so he agreed to whatever Gu Tang said.
At this moment, he only remembered that his daughter had a good taste and was definitely better at choosing things than he was, so he naturally wanted to let his daughter do this.
As for himself? He just followed his daughter and helped her bargain!
