Chapter 146 Housewarming
"Aunt, as long as you don't drive me away and let me live in the original wooden house, I can't live in such a big house. I won't do anything." Li Xin's voice was filled with tears when he said this. I don't know if he was more excited or more flattered?
After he blurted out his thoughts, he saw that everyone around him was looking at him with a smile, and then he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
How can you know nothing?
He immediately added, "Aunt, I can learn anything. I learn things very quickly. I just want to live in a cabin."
Gu Qingqing looked at his misty eyes, raised her hand to rub his head, and said softly, "Just live here. Your uncle and I specially arranged this place. As for the rest, you can learn it slowly."
The tears that Li Xin had been suppressing suddenly burst out at this moment.
He pursed his lips tightly, not daring to blink, and just stared at Gu Qingqing blankly, fearing that if he blinked, all this beauty would become an illusion.
People who didn't have much contact with Gu Qingqing were very surprised. They all wondered how such a nice new house could be given to outsiders to live in?
Some people thought so and said so.
"Daxin is an outsider to you, but not to us. Besides, isn't the house built for people to live in?" Gu Qingqing said while looking at the person who had just spoken.
"What, is he your family member?" someone who was good friends with Zhang Cuilan took the opportunity to ask.
After saying this, he took advantage of Gu Qingqing's inattention and made a sarcastic and intriguing expression, which happened to be seen by Yuzhu's mother Niu Li who was standing next to him.
There are no more than 60 households in Niutoushan Village. Not to mention the good relationships between different families, even the mouse running out can be recognized by four or five points, not to mention the relationship between the speaker and Zhang Cuilan.
"Yes......"
Yuzhu's mother Niu Li glared back, relying on her seniority to interrupt Gu Qingqing and retort, "Qingqing built a new house, what does it have to do with you who lives there? Does it matter who lives here? You don't have to worry about it."
The woman was choked by the rebuke and dared not say a word.
Even Gu Qingqing subconsciously looked at Niu Li and thought: What happened?
As for the people that Gu Qingqing and Li Xin were familiar with, they seemed to think that this was no big deal.
After all, Li Xin had been following them in building the house, and he was always the first to arrive at the site and get everything ready.
Although he made many mistakes at the beginning because he was unfamiliar with the place, he corrected them humbly and was the last one to leave, helping them pack up.
Whenever their parents had some errands to run, the first person they thought of was Li Xin.
Seeing that the woman didn't say anything, Yuzhu's mother Niu Li turned to look at Li Xin, and even her eyes became loving. She smiled and walked forward to pat Li Xin, "You kid, are you so happy that you're silly? Thank your uncle and aunt."
Li Xin suddenly woke up, and when Gu Qingqing was not prepared, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed twice [1], "Thank you, auntie, for taking me in."
Not to mention Gu Qingqing was frightened, even Dahua and Erhua in the room were frightened by Li Xin's posture.
"Get up, get up. What are you doing? I just gave you a place to stay. How can I deserve such a generous thank you?" Gu Qingqing said as she hugged Sanhua and slightly turned her body to the side, and hurriedly pulled the person up.
Li Xin looked at Gu Qingqing with gratitude and said, "I'll go thank my uncle," and without waiting for Gu Qingqing's response, he ran out of the house.
The remaining people in the room looked at each other.
Everyone is impressed, this kid is so honest!
Gu Qingqing let Daxin go, and now she happily said to everyone, "I'll take you to see the other rooms."
On the other side, although the men in the village were not as curious as the women, they were also following Wen Wuyan to look around the yard, looking at such a luxurious house with envy.
"Wu Yan, tell me how much money you spent on building this house. If it's not much, I want to build it like this too. It's so magnificent and beautiful."
The person who spoke was a man from the village, and at this moment his eyes were glued to the roof.
As he asked, all the eyes that were originally scattered around suddenly focused on Wen Wuyan, wanting to hear how much silver was spent here.
"Bricks, beams, tiles, and wood took nearly fifty taels."
"Hiss! So many?"
"It would take my family ten years to save enough."
"Ten years? That doesn't even include hiring craftsmen, which is also a big expense."
"How much is the craftsman?" When the crowd heard that the materials alone would cost so much silver, they immediately asked about the craftsman.
Wen Wuyan smiled and said, "All the craftsmen and other expenses cost about twenty-six taels."
"hiss!!!"
Wen Wuyan saw everyone hissing again, and he hurriedly explained, "It will definitely save money for everyone to build a house than for my family. I had a leg injury before, so I relied on everyone to do the work."
Everyone understands what he means.
"It's just one person's problem, but it's too expensive. We can't build it."
After listening to Wen Wuyan's words, everyone shook their heads.
After hearing what everyone said, Wen Wuyan said again, "Everyone needs to work together to build this, even if there is a difference, it shouldn't be much. It's just that Qingqing and I wanted to do it all at once, so we built it like this. Everyone, please come in, and we'll serve tea right away."
Almost at the moment when Wen Wuyan invited everyone into the house, Li Xin had already run from the front yard to the middle yard, looked at Wen Wuyan's back and hurriedly called out "Uncle."
Wen Wuyan turned back!
Li Xin was seen standing in the middle of the yard, and with a plop, he knelt down in the yard.
Wen Wuyan was surprised and said, "Daxin, what are you doing? A man's knees are made of gold, how can you kneel down so easily?"
"Uncle, I am a fool. I have no way to repay you and aunt for taking me in today. I can only express my gratitude to you and aunt for your kindness to me."
Bang bang~
When Deng Wen Wuyan ran up to Li Xin at a fast speed, Li Xin had already kowtowed twice.
Wen Wuyan hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Your aunt and I only gave you a place to stay. It's really not worth it for you to do this. Don't do it again next time."
Wen Wuyan said as he wiped the dust off Daxin's forehead.
Most of the people present knew Li Xin. They didn't know what had just happened in the front yard. Seeing Li Xin acting like this, they were somewhat puzzled.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Wen Wuyan directly stated, "Daxin will live in our house from now on."
Beep!
After a moment of silence, everyone started praising Wen Wuyan for his kindness and Daxin for his good luck.
Li Xin's smile never stopped. He said, "Uncle, take your uncles into the house. I'll go to the kitchen to boil water and make tea."
At the same time, Gu Qingqing, who was walking into the inner courtyard with the other ladies, watched this scene and felt that Daxin was more sensible.
Yuzhu's mother Niu Li was watching clearly from the side and sighed in her heart, saying that Daxin was a good child. It would be great if he was Gu Qingqing's son.
This way they will have someone to rely on when they get old.
Then her eyes fell on Gu Qingqing's young profile, and she felt that her idea was too absurd. Wuyan and Qingqing were not very old, and moving to a new house and adding new people, maybe they would be able to give birth to a big fat boy next year.
The thought that had just flashed through my mind disappeared in an instant.

About kowtow: the first one represents respect for the elderly and the virtuous, the second one represents praying for blessings and peace, and the third one represents self-blame and self-reflection.
