Chapter 53
Gu Huaijin on the other side also came to Yu Shihu's door, and the two stood at the door talking.
Gu Huaijin held a small paper bag in her hand, handed it to Yu Shihu, and said, "These are some things we bought on the road. They are very useful, so we took some for your family to try."
"Oh! You are so polite." Yu Shihu took the paper package with surprise on his face.
Gu Huaijin is also a child of a wealthy family, and his manner of speaking is very unusual.
But I didn't expect him to be so polite and rational. Judging from the people who were exiled in the past, few people can be so calm. None of them would be unaware of their situation for ten and a half months.
I always feel that I am still a noble and high-ranking official! Others should serve them and do things for them.
In the end, after being severely beaten by this world, they realized that they had fallen into the dust and no one was around them.
He just heard yesterday that the people they were exiled with this time were basically living in other people's homes without any plans of their own.
Seeing that he came to see me today, I guess he has his own plans and understands his situation. He is a person with a clear mind and a clear mind.
"What's the matter with you?" Yu Shihu asked directly.
He didn't mince words either. Sometimes he could do things better if he was more direct.
Gu Huaijin scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "That's right. Some parts of my house are so dilapidated that no one can live in them. The roof, doors, windows and fire pits need to be repaired."
"We're new here and we don't know anyone we know well, so I wanted to trouble you to see if there are any brothers in our team who can help with these tasks. I can tell you about the wages and so on."
"Repairing the house! That's easy to talk about. There are two families in our team who take care of the work of making bricks and repairing the houses. It just so happens that they haven't had any work recently, so we can go there today."
"This is the right time for you to find them. It will be colder in a while, and you will have to wait for someone to repair your house by then."
"You can just watch and pay when wages and other things are paid. We are all on the same team and we are all neighbors!" Yu Shihu said casually.
Gu Huaijin immediately said, "How can it be done? The salary is whatever the salary is. It is all the hard-earned money of the brothers!"
If he really listened to Yu Shihu and gave him some money, then he would really have lost his mind.
People may say polite things, but they are most untrue!
Sure enough, after Yu Shihu heard Gu Huaijin's words, he immediately patted his shoulder affectionately.
He said with satisfaction: "Well! You are a good person. Since you can clearly understand your situation, you are much better than some people. You will definitely not live a bad life in the future."
"By the way, you said that the house and the kang need to be repaired. So where did you stay last night? Do you want to come to my house to stay for a while first?"
Yu Shihu invited warmly, and now he sincerely wanted to win Gu Huaijin to his side.
If there is such a clear-minded person by his side, why would he not worry about becoming a hundred households early!
"Cough..." A woman's coughing sound came from behind Yu Shihu in the room, which seemed to be a reminder.
So after Yu Shihu heard the cough, he had an embarrassed expression on his face, as if he was angry and ashamed!
Gu Huaijin, who was standing in front of Yu Shihu, naturally heard it. He looked at Yu Shihu's face and said hurriedly, "Thank you very much. There is no need to live in your house. We are temporarily staying in the Wang brothers' house.
"
Yu Shihu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the embarrassment on his face was replaced by a look of pity, and said, "Well, forget it, since you have found a place to live, I won't bother you to move around.
"
After the two of them finished talking, the remaining ten households carried their things back into the house first and accompanied Gu Huaijin to find the two households who knew how to repair their houses.
As soon as Yu Shihu entered the house, his wife sat on the kang, holding the soles of her shoes, with a drooped face.
Yu Shihu looked at his little wife's expression and thought that he must have offended her again just now.
He hurriedly walked over, put the things in his hands aside, sat next to her, hugged her waist, and whispered, "Madam, I was wrong, don't be angry!"
Yu Shihu's wife ignored him after glancing at him and continued busy with her men.
Before she got married, the elders in her family had told her that she must keep her man in her hands and not forgive her immediately if she did something she was dissatisfied with.
Sure enough, Yu Shihu saw her ignoring him and quickly coaxed her, "Madam, don't be silent. I really know that I was wrong. From now on, our family will listen to you."
"Are you really going to listen to me from now on?" Mrs. Yu Shihu put down the needle and thread in her hand and said seriously.
"Really! Don't be angry, okay?" Yu Shihu looked at his wife and smiled in a hurry.
Looking at Yu Shihu's expression, she knew that this man didn't understand anything at all!
"Hey, you! It's not that I don't let you ask people to come and stay at my house, but you should at least discuss it with me in advance. You also know that I don't interact with people very much when I'm at home. If someone suddenly comes to us
I won’t be used to living at home.”
Mrs. Yu said with a sad expression on her face.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I understand. I will discuss everything with you in the future. I will never do anything you don't want me to do, okay?"
"Idiot, you are a man, how can you listen to everything I say?" Mrs. Yu burst into tears and smiled, tapping Yu Shihu's forehead with her hand.
"I'm your man, what's wrong with listening to you!" Yu Shihu giggled.
He glanced at the paper package sent by Gu Huaijin and took it over, "Look what's inside, it was sent by the new Gu family."
She took it curiously and opened the paper bag. Inside were four pieces of soap, which smelled very good.
Madam Yu looked at the soap and immediately said in surprise, "It's soap, it's soap. I haven't used it for a long time."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Mrs. Yu suddenly felt speechless. How could she, a daughter of an ordinary family, use such expensive and hard-to-find things? Would he be suspicious?
She looked at Yu Shihu nervously, but found that he didn't notice anything, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said: "Isn't that person still waiting for you outside the door? Go and get busy! Don't delay your important things."
"Then I'm leaving! You are at home and fine."
Yu Shihu felt that his wife was very considerate. She would never stay overnight when she had conflicts with him. If he made her unhappy, he would just coax her a few times and it would be over immediately.
Now I still allow myself to go out and think about myself.
He walked out happily, not seeing his wife breathing a sigh of relief when she saw his back.
Gu Huaijin and Yu Shihu found that family.
Together they went to the Gu family's house to see which areas needed to be renovated and which areas just needed repairs.
Finally, after their careful investigation, they found that the Gu family's fire pit had to be rebuilt because the inside had seriously collapsed. Even if it could be used after a little repair, it wouldn't last long, and it would be a matter of time before it collapsed again.
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to start over again! There is no need to worry about when the kang you are sleeping on will collapse.
There are two leaks in the roof, and one of the beams is rotten. If it snows heavily, the house will easily collapse. This is even more dangerous than the kang.
