Chapter 230 The villagers want to build a house
"Mom, mom, you're back!" After seeing Gu Qingqing, Erhua left her father Wen Wuyan and his group behind, and ran towards Gu Qingqing impatiently like a bird chasing the sun.
Gu Qingqing looked at Erhua, who was full of energy and eager to find her, and felt that everything was so beautiful.
"Run slowly, there's no rush." she shouted!
Wu Fang looked at Erhua running towards them and said with envy, "No wonder everyone says daughters are mothers' little cotton-padded jackets. Apart from anything else, just the fact that they are affectionate and clingy to us makes us feel that everything we do for them is worth it. If it were my two boys, let alone running over to greet them, they probably wouldn't even notice that I was not home for a day."
Gu Qingqing looked at her with a smile, turned her head and teased her, "You should be satisfied, right? You have two sons by your side, what else do you have to envy?"
"What's good about my son? He doesn't feel sorry for me as his mother at all. He doesn't have a wife yet. Who knows what will happen if he gets one in the future!" Although Wu Fang was saying bad things about her son, the smile on her face couldn't be faked.
"Hahaha, I think you are just sour grapes because you can't eat them. If you really give birth to two daughters in a row, I don't think you will be anxious. You will pester the father of the children every night to fight three hundred times in order to give birth to a son." Gu Qingqing teased her.
Experienced drivers should drive during the day when the road conditions are better.
"If you really can't give birth to a son for three hundred rounds, then that's enough. You must be served like an ancestor every day, with good food and drink during the day, and be treated like a cow at night. Otherwise, how can we women live a straight life at home? We women..."
When Yang Xing heard her talking nonsense, she immediately thought of the situation at Qingqing's home. She secretly touched Wu Fang's arm while she was talking excitedly, fearing that she would say something inappropriate.
Then she saw Wu Fang turned her head and looked at her. She didn't notice the hint she gave her at all. She even ignored her calm shake of the head and asked her, "What's wrong? Why did you touch me?"
Yang Xing smiled awkwardly, then found an excuse and said, "I was thinking that we should go back."
"Why are you in such a hurry? We're not going to Qingqing's house for free meals. It's just a rare opportunity for us to have a private chat." Wu Fang obviously didn't understand Yang Xing's hint.
Gu Qingqing looked at Yang Xing, who had a constipated look on her face, and then at Wu Fang, who looked a little confused, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She simply brought up the topic directly and patted Wu Fang on the shoulder. "You usually look quite smart, but you didn't react this time. Yang Xing was reminding you that she didn't want you to say anything that would embarrass me, but you didn't understand."
After saying this, Gu Qingqing gave Yang Xing a look that said 'am I right?' and sure enough, she pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What did I say? Did I say something? You shouldn't have said anything?" Wu Fang, who had a short circuit in her brain, looked confused and had no idea what she was talking to them about.
At this time, Erhua ran over and rushed over like a little cannonball and hugged Gu Qingqing's legs.
Even though Gu Qingqing was mentally prepared, she was still knocked off balance by Erhua. She grabbed her shoulders with her hands to prevent herself from falling.
Erhua didn't care about that and said hurriedly, "Mom, you're back. I was thinking about you while having lunch."
Gu Qingqing looked at Erhua's bright smile and gently scratched her cheek with her fingers, saying lovingly, "Really? What do you want me to do?"
Erhua tilted her head and said after a while, "I just want my mother to come back soon."
"Have you called anyone?" Gu Qingqing pointed at Wu Fang and Yang Xing and said to Erhua.
Erhua turned her head and gave them a sweet smile, "Auntie."
"Hey, Erhua, be good." Wu Fang raised her hand and the ends of Erhua's hair brushed across her fingertips.
Yang Xing also smiled and said, "Erhua, be good."
Erhua didn't even wait for Gu Qingqing to ask, and immediately started showing off, "Mom, I just went to Wang Guoguo's house with Dad and Uncle. Wang Guoguo's dad said that they are going to build a new house, and they want everyone to come over to help."
Gu Qingqing was slightly surprised. "Wang Guoguo's family is also going to build a new house?"
Wang Guoguo is the daughter of Wang Jie, the eldest son of the family. His younger sister Wang Chunxiang married to Qianjiazhuang, which is a day's journey away from Niutoushan Village.
There is also a younger brother named Wang Chu. The three siblings lost their father early, and it was their mother who raised them with great difficulty.
Wang Jie got married at the age of 25. Guoguo is his first child. Now his wife Wang Bao is pregnant again. The experienced elders in the village say that this baby looks like a son.
His younger brother Wang is already twenty years old and still hasn't found a partner.
At the end of last year, when she was making charcoal, she heard a rumor that Wang Jie's thatched house was going to be rebuilt, saying that it was going to be a place for his younger brother to marry and live in, but she didn't know what it would look like.
Gu Qingqing didn't expect to get the answer from Erhua, because Wen Wuyan and others had already walked over.
"The Wang family is going to build a new house?" Gu Qingqing asked.
Wen Wuyan nodded at her, "Well, we have agreed today to build three blue brick and tile houses. We wanted to take advantage of the fact that it is not yet the busy farming season, so we would like to invite everyone to come over to help. Now that you have come to our house alone to ask about some things when we are building the house, I will follow you."
"Well, this is a good thing. We should help if we can. When we were building the house, they also contributed a lot." After saying this, Gu Qingqing turned to look at Zhao Dong and the others, and asked half-jokingly, "Brother Dong is now an expert in building houses. I guess they have asked you to help too, right?"
Zhao Dong chuckled, "We hope that the whole village can build big houses. We brothers have nothing to do anyway, so we can earn some money for food. I just heard Wuyan say that you are going to raise chickens and ducks? Did you go to check on the seedlings today?"
"It's all settled. The other party will deliver the ducklings in half a month." Gu Qingqing said this and hurriedly pulled Wu Fang and Yang Xing, "We are not strangers. Let's go to my house tonight. Didn't you say that I cook delicious food? Today I will show you my cooking skills and cook you some white rice."
As a result, the two of them refused to come no matter what, and said that when they were not at home, the men and children at home would have to eat nothing.
They didn't even give Gu Qingqing a chance to pull it, and then they quickly walked towards the village.
Gu Qingqing looked at their fleeing backs and could only smile helplessly.
Then he took the child and walked home with everyone else.
Only after he separated from Yang Bo and Zhao Dong did Wen Wuyan tell Wang Jie the purpose of coming to see him.
"He said he saw that we used white lime when we built the house and thought it was good, so he came to ask how it was made. I told him, and he asked if he could borrow our kiln to burn it, and he would bring the firewood back."
Wen Wuyan turned his head and looked at Gu Qingqing. "Qingqing, you won't blame me for telling them, right? After all, it was you who came up with the idea!"
