Chapter 123 Li Xin
When Zhao Dong came with Zhao Feng, Zhao Zhong and three women, he saw Gu Qingqing feeding medicine to a strange boy in the car.
After asking, she introduced the people she brought to Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing looked at the women and saw that they all had friendly faces, so she welcomed them.
After everyone got familiar with each other, Zhao Bei pointed at the little boy in the car and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Since Zhao Dong was here, it really saved Gu Qingqing the trouble. She immediately entrusted Zhao Dong to send the person to Yang Bo.
That night, when Gu Qingqing went over with the basket, she saw Yang Bo explaining something to Wen Wuyan.
When Old Yang saw her coming, he stopped lecturing Wen Wuyan and asked with a smile, "Are you here to see the child?"
Gu Qingqing also smiled and said, "Yes and no."
Then she pulled out a few bamboo sticks from the basket and handed them to Old Yang and Wen Wuyan, "I just tried to grill a few small intestines. Here are some for you as a midnight snack."
After saying this, Gu Qingqing handed the one with chili powder to Old Yang, and gave the one without chili powder to Wen Wuyan.
As soon as Old Yang saw what Gu Qingqing handed over, he immediately smiled happily, "Before, I thought the food I cooked was delicious enough, but now that I've seen what you cook, I have no interest in cooking anymore."
"Uncle Yang, just tell me what you like to eat and I'll make it for you."
The old man raised his head and took a bite of the golden roasted small intestine, then nodded with satisfaction, "Hahaha, there's no need for you to accommodate an old man like me. I like whatever you cook."
Wen Wuyan took it and said to her, "He never woke up."
Gu Qingqing first said "hmm", then said "you guys eat your own, I'll go over and take a look."
It only took a moment to turn around and go over to take a look. There was also only a bamboo bed on Old Yang's side. Gu Qingqing thought that she could not let the little beggar sleep on the bed, so she spread a thick layer of straw under her body and took the quilt used by Wen Wuyan and gave it to the little beggar, covering him with the quilt that Shen Chenan had used at that time.
As for Wen Wuyan, it was naturally Gu Qingqing who moved the big flowered quilt to Wen Wuyan, and she replaced the big flowered quilt with a new one.
Gu Qingqing leaned over and just as her hand left the other person's forehead, she saw the little beggar slowly waking up.
"You're awake." Gu Qingqing said.
The little beggar first looked around and found that the surroundings were unfamiliar.
Looking at Wen Wuyan who was approaching, his gaze finally fell on Gu Qingqing, and he said in a hoarse voice, "You saved me. I remember you."
The little beggar did not use a question but an affirmative sentence.
Gu Qingqing nodded, and then said, "You are at my home now. Just rest and recuperate here for the next few days. We can talk about anything after you get better."
The little beggar nodded.
Gu Qingqing's eyes fell on the other person's head, and she said apologetically, "I cut your hair without your consent. Because you couldn't take a shower these few days, your hair is really, really..."
Gu Qingqing didn’t say the rest of the words, but she thought the little boy should understand.
Sure enough, the child said, "If I hadn't wanted to keep it to keep my head warm during the winter, I would have cut it off a long time ago."
Gu Qingqing laughed after hearing this, "You are so young, but you know how to say nice things. Here, I made a bowl of porridge for you, eat it while it's hot."
Gu Qingqing saw the little boy sitting up and looking down at his clothes. She explained, "Your original clothes are still there. I washed them for you and hung them in the yard."
The little boy paused and nodded again.
He took the bowl handed to him by Gu Qingqing and looked at the white rice and a piece of pickled cucumber inside.
He said "thank you" again and started to eat voraciously.
After the little boy finished eating, Gu Qingqing thanked Old Yang and left with Wen Wuyan.
The two of them walked towards their home under the starlight.
The next day, Gu Qingqing followed Luo Meihua for another day. After confirming that Luo Meihua had adapted quickly, she gave her some precautions and then stopped following her to the town. She only let her and Dahua go to the town to make a living.
In the past few days, with the joining of Zhao Bei and others, they also started to divide the work and cooperate.
Niu Zhanghe brought a group of people to be responsible for the back room and the main room, Zhao Dong brought a group of people to be responsible for the east wing, and Zhao Xi brought people to be responsible for the west wing.
The remaining back house and corridor are being built by other skilled workers.
The carpenter also came into the site and was planing doors, windows, and Langting decorations according to the drawings, as well as the cabinets that Gu Qingqing wanted.
There are also all the items needed at home, such as tables, stools, desks, storage cabinets, etc.
The sick Li Xin took medicine for three consecutive days and his body has recovered, but he is still a little taciturn around other people like a child.
During the meal, Gu Qingqing said to him, "You have been looking around quite a lot these past few days. I am like this. If you want to stay here, find a job for yourself. I should pay you, but because you are sick, I have prescribed medicine for you. You will definitely not be paid for your work in the early stage, but we can provide you with food and accommodation."
Li Xin paused while eating his sorghum buns, and agreed without much thought, "Okay."
Gu Qingqing was amused, "You haven't listened to the other one yet."
Li Xin didn't say anything, but just looked up at Gu Qingqing with an inquiring look.
Gu Qingqing smiled and said, "If you don't want to stay here, you can leave. We won't ask you for the herbal medicine."
"I'm working." After saying that, Li Xin lowered his head and took a big bite of the steamed bun.
Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan looked at each other and started eating.
To them, it makes no difference whether there is one more mouth to feed in the family or not.
Li Xin is very good at reading people's faces. He will be the first to rush to wash the dishes as soon as everyone has finished their meal.
Dahua followed closely behind and tried to snatch the bowl from his hand.
"Why?" Li Xin asked.
Dahua looked at his cold face and said without hesitation, "You men are all extravagant. What if you break a bowl at home?"
Besides, washing dishes is her job at home. What would she do if he took it away from her?
Li Xin wanted to say no, but then he thought of the bowl he had smashed in the town before, and how he accidentally broke a corner of it. He felt so sad at that time.
Then he would look at the bowl in his hand and finally say, "I'll put it in the basin and you wash it."
Early in the morning of the fifth day after Zhao Bei and his group arrived.
Gu Qingqing had just seen Luo Meihua and Dahua off when she saw Zhao Xi's wife and two other wives walking over together.
Except for the first day when they all came to help, Gu Qingqing offered them wages, but they refused to accept them. It seemed as if Gu Qingqing insisted that they would not come again.
From then on, they would come over from time to time, help out and then leave. It was rare to see three of them coming together.
When they came closer, Gu Qingqing smiled enthusiastically, "You three rarely come together."
Zhao Xi's wife looks a bit like Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi is a bit of a straightforward man, and his wife is also a straightforward person. Seeing Gu Qingqing asking, she said, "We are here mainly to discuss something with you. If there is anything wrong, please don't think it's presumptuous."
