Chapter 22 022. Building a house

While walking around, she walked to a ready-to-wear shop. Now she has money and can add some clothes to Zhou Zeyun and the children. Their former clothes at home have been washed until they turn white.

And she... lowered her head and pinched her waist. She wouldn't buy it for now. Although her figure has lost a lot, she is not satisfied with her in her previous life. Let's talk about her clothes later.

Thinking of this, he walked into the garment shop with his feet raised. When the boss saw the customer, he immediately met him.

"Oh, this lady, what kind of clothes do you want to choose? Our family can also customize it~"

She swept the store environment, which was all fabric and ready-to-wear, and then asked, "Boss, I want to buy some clothes for my husband and children. Do you have any recommendations?"

After hearing this, the boss led her to the men's clothing area and introduced: "These are all men's clothing. You can take a look. What styles do you like? There are children's clothing there."

The boss pointed, and Gu Xiaoxiao nodded to show his understanding.

She looked at some of the ready-to-wear clothes that were not too many, including brocade clothes and simple numbness.

At this time, she thought of Xiao Mu's brocade clothes. Zhou Zeyun must look good when wearing that. He should have a decent dress when he goes to the imperial examination in the future.

She made up her mind and chose a silver-white moonlight brocade dress with needlework on it with small Su embroidery, which added a hint of softness to the elegance.

She was very satisfied with her vision, and then she picked a Ruyi cloud pattern cloth for each of the four kids, with pure white background and red lines outlined the patterns, which was also festive. The four kids should be very cute when they were worn. When she thought of Dabao's black face that he often hung at that time, she felt inexplicably funny.

After paying for the money, she put five clothes into the basket behind her. Now she has grown much more vigorously and is not as easy to get tired as before. So these five clothes are no longer weight to her, and she has not put them in space, so she just walked back with her back on her back.

When I got home, it was already dark. I was delayed in the town today and came back a little late. As soon as I entered the yard, Dahuang rushed over with a "whistle" sound, and then several children ran out of the east room. Finally, Zhou Zeyun also walked out.

Sibao still shouted "Mom~" with his little breasts, and ran over to hug Gu Xiaoxiao's legs. The other three also surrounded him. Zhou Zeyun came forward to take her backpack and asked softly, "Why are you late to come back today? Is the matter going smoothly?" The gentle tone was mixed with nervousness.

Gu Xiaoxiao knew what he was asking, but when she saw her young husband so nervous and cute, she started to tease her, so she pretended to be deep and said, "Go into the house first."

He picked up the four treasures and walked into the house.

Gu Xiaoxiao's attitude made Zhou Zeyun even more nervous, as if... the result was not very good...

Dabao, who was standing by, was even more nervous when he heard this answer. He wouldn't have failed, right? If this is true, what else could he do? How could he realize his ambition? He tried his best... still can't he do it?

The second and third treasures were not too nervous. Maybe it was because they didn’t value the result so much. They followed Gu Xiaoxiao very easily and entered the house. Zhou Zeyun and Dabao fell to the end, both of whom were absent-minded.

Zhou Zeyun comforted himself in his heart and went to find a job if he didn't pass, otherwise he would have planned that way. But...

His eyes fell on Dabao, who was walking silently with his head down. But this child paid too much attention to gains and losses, and it would be very sad if he failed!

All six people entered the east room, and there were foods with remaining warm food on the small dining table. Gu Xiaoxiao could see that they were hot, but they had never moved. She was waiting for her to come back. She felt warm in her heart.

When I turned around, I saw Zhou Zeyun and Dabao at the end of the scene, and I smiled secretly in my heart. It was so indifferent! It was really!

Then he slowly put the Sibao on the ground and stood firmly, and said to the people behind him: "Let's have a meal first, and let's talk about it after the meal."

At the dinner table, the second and third treasures were not so much thought, especially the second treasures, and everything had to be arranged after the meal! So Gu Xiaoxiao's words could not affect their appetite, and the three of them were happily eating delicious food.

Dabao was not so relaxed, so he sat on the chair without moving his chopsticks, lowered his head and was in a low spirit.

Zhou Zeyun was also eating, but he felt a little nervous, but in order not to worry Gu Xiaoxiao and the children, he forced his emotions to suppress them.

Adults cannot expose bad emotions directly on their faces like children, otherwise they will become pretentious!

Gu Xiaoxiao saw everyone's expression and sighed in her heart. If she didn't say anything, these two people wouldn't be able to eat well! Forget it, don't tease them anymore!

So he coughed gently and said seriously: "Okay, don't be depressed, I'll tell you." Then he chuckled, "You all have to learn from the future."

For a moment, Zhou Zeyun and the children didn’t react. What does this mean? Did they pass?

Zhou Zeyun looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, a little confused.

I saw Gu Xiaoxiao looking at him, nodding, and smiled and said, "It's passed. You're great!"

Zhou Zeyun felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and thousands of words finally turned into two words, "Thank you!"

There was no other unnecessary language, but Gu Xiaoxiao understood the surging in his eyes. She was also infected by his emotions and was very happy.

"What about me? How did Master evaluate me?" Dabao asked hurriedly.

Gu Xiaoxiao could also see his unprecedented eagerness and attached great importance to this opportunity.

She did not say the original words that Xu Teach had hurt the child's mind. As long as the result was good, everything else could be learned to improve in the future. So, why bother? This child is still so sensitive.

"You are great too! You are all great! The Master likes you very much." She said to the children.

Dabao smiled rarely when he heard this, and he was very happy.

"How is it! You can have a good meal now!" Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at the expressions of the five people and said again.

"Eat! Eat! Eat more!" Zhou Zeyun replied with a smile.

Because he was too excited, he didn't think much about it for a while, and forgot about the great defense of men and women, he picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Gu Xiaoxiao bowl.

After reacting, my face turned red again. I wanted to pick out the piece of meat, but it would look even more strange and I was suddenly at a loss.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, a little surprised by Zhou Zeyun's actions, but she felt inexplicably happy.

She originally came from the end of the world, so she did not have as many rules as this world, so she didn't care too much, so she ate the piece of meat that Zhou Zeyun picked up and continued to eat another bite of rice.

Seeing that she was not disgusted at all, Zhou Zeyun was happy, but blushed even more because of indirect contact.

Some of the children were immersed in the joy of passing the test successfully, while others were immersed in the food, but they did not notice Zhou Zeyun's weirdness.

"By the way, have you ever had a teacher instructed me before? I saw that Teacher Xu was very excited. It should be because you wrote it very well!" Gu Xiaoxiao asked with a question.

Zhou Zeyun also said, "No, I don't know why. It seems that I can write since I can remember it. If you ask me to write out my views, it is like a spring of thoughts, as if the knowledge is engraved in my mind. Maybe I have read too much from Brother Xiao in the Xiao family, and I can do it."

After he finished speaking, he looked a little thoughtful. This period of time, it may be because of detoxification. Some fragments of memories that do not belong to him often flashed in his mind intermittently, blurred, but had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Maybe his body has not recovered yet, and he has come up with this hallucination. He thought, but he didn't care much.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded without thinking deeply. With Zhou Zeyun's intelligence, he might be able to see too much, so he silently praised his little husband in his heart, and nothing else was saying.

The next day, Gu Xiaoxiao went directly to the village chief’s house after breakfast. She had said before that he would go to find him at the beginning of the month and mentioned a chicken. After all, the village chief would have to worry more about the future.

I went to the village chief’s house and knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was the village chief’s daughter-in-law, Chunhua.

"Sister Chunhua, is Uncle at home? I have something to do with him."

"Ah, here..., come in."

Chunhua saw the pheasant in her hand and couldn't take her eyes away, so she immediately invited Gu Xiaoxiao into the door.

The village chief’s family has a good living conditions, but it is not the type that often eats meat. Who doesn’t like meat? But most of them only eat it during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, and even the village chief’s family is no exception.

Farmers are used to saving money and are not willing to spend too much money during festivals and holidays to exchange meat that can only be eaten. Although it is delicious, it is not worth it.

Because of this, Gu Xiaoxiao came with the chicken, which further reflected her sincerity and hoped that the village chief would take more attention.

"This is the chicken for you. Don't be polite. Take it and give the children a good meal at noon!" Gu Xiaoxiao handed the chicken to Chunhua.

The village chief also has two children, Chun Baisheng's sons. Although the original owner had never had much contact with each other in his memory, they were also two sensible children. This shows how important education is. I heard that the village chief's father also had a juren, and for this small village it was also a scholarly family. Otherwise, if someone could be a village chief, he would naturally have the ability to convince people.

Chunhua didn't pick the chicken up and was a little hesitant. She actually wanted to accept it, but her father-in-law didn't let her receive gifts. As the village chief's family, there are villagers who often come to give gifts in recent years, but they don't accept them. Her father-in-law said that she would not accept gifts in private, and she could only speak fairly and be impartial and impartial, and the villagers would also believe it. We should not ruin our reputation because of temporary greed, as people are shameless!

Gu Xiaoxiao could have expected her to see this. If the village chief had not spoken, she would not have dared to accept it.

So I didn't say much, but I just carried the chicken into the house to find the village chief.

Chunhua naturally followed her in. Gu Xiaoxiao also saw the village chief who had just finished breakfast, and was still sitting at the dining table. The village chief’s wife was cleaning the dishes. Chunhua immediately stepped forward to help her mother-in-law clean up together when she saw it.

Only Gu Xiaoxiao and the village chief were left at the dinner table.

"Hey, Xiao Gu is here. Have you had breakfast? I didn't eat it and asked your aunt to bring you some more."

"Uncle, I've eaten at home, so don't bother me anymore. I'm here this time to what I've told you before." Gu Xiaoxiao sat on the chair in front of her, put the pheasant on the ground and said.

The village chief thought for a while, "Oh, what's the matter of buying mountains! How about it? Have you discussed it with Tuesday? Do you still want to buy it?"

She nodded, "Buy!"

In fact, she didn't tell Zhou Zeyun, and she didn't think it was necessary to discuss it. It was enough to decide what she wanted to do. How could it be considered her own independent career?

Let’s talk to him after the medicine shop is built.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought about this and then looked at the village chief and confirmed: "Uncle, did you say that the whole mountain was about 500 taels?"

"Yes, this price is already very low. After all, the whole mountain is over a thousand acres. Otherwise, as my uncle said before, if you buy a small part, you won't need that much money..."

Then Gu Xiaoxiao took out five hundred taels of silver notes from her sleeve and put them on the table, "Uncle, this is five hundred taels. I want that mountain. Then I will ask my uncle to help me with the procedures when going to the yamen. If there is still money left, I will be considered a filial piety. After the procedures are completed, you can tell me, I will pick it up."

"Oh, this is not OK. These are all my duties as a village chief. How can I take your junior’s money and treat your uncle as someone! After the procedures, I will send you the remaining money together. It should be a few dozen cents left, enough for your family to have a few meals!"

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, pouted her mouth, and said with a grievance: "Uncle, you have to worry more in the future. If you don't accept it, I feel uncomfortable. I have other things to ask for help. I'm embarrassed to say it out loud!"

"No need to be embarrassed, you said, what else is there? Uncle can help you, surely!" The village chief waved his hand.

Gu Xiaoxiao continued to frown and pout, "That's not OK. If you don't accept it, I can't say it. Then I won't dare to come to you to solve any problems in the future! You can accept it, I have no other intentions, just to be at ease."

The village chief was struggling, and after a moment, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I can't accept it. Now you can say what else is wrong!"

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Okay, it's such an uncle. There is no hurry to do anything on the mountain. I want to demolish my thatched hut and rebuild a house. I want to ask you if there is anyone in our village who knows how to build a house. I want to buy materials and build it according to my own ideas. If there is a male who can help, it would be better if you can do it. Do you think there is any?"

"You want to build a house? Yes, your house should be repaired, otherwise it will be dangerous in winter! There are some people who have their own affairs now, and they may not help."

"Then I will pay them a salary, how about twenty cents per person a day? It's enough to find a dozen people."

"If you pay the wage, someone will definitely be willing, but this twenty-month is too much. Are you on hand?" the village chief worried.

These twenty articles are considered a day for a long-term worker outside. The villagers' help in the work is enough, so there is no need to give so many.
