Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 144

According to the thinking of modern people, no matter what, a newly built house has to be left for a year or so before people can live in it, otherwise formaldehyde can kill people, not to mention other messy pollution.

But time goes back to the 70s, and people nowadays don’t pay much attention to this. Most of them live in directly after the front foot is covered, and some people even live in it while building it.

The green bricks made by solid firing are pure natural and pollution-free, and the furniture put in are either bamboo products or pure wood products, and even have a faint woody fragrance, so there is no need to worry about formaldehyde harming the family.

After the new house was built, the old Gu's family went up and down. What he liked to do most was to move things to the new house after dinner every day.

Gu Mingdong doesn't know carpentry, but his bamboo weaving skills are very good. He quickly added brand new bamboo chairs, bamboo stools, and bamboo baskets to the new home. He can weave anything that can be replaced by bamboo.

Move a cabinet today, move a box tomorrow, and slowly, the house in the new home becomes more and more stylish.

Even Gu Liangxing, who loves to go out on weekdays, doesn't like to talk to his friends recently, and runs to his new home as soon as he can.

Gu Simei took Gu Yun to clean up three times a day from the inside to the outside. With that posture, she wished to wipe clean the gaps in every brick, without leaving any dust.

Gu Di took his two nephews and used bamboo to build a fence around the new home. The chickens raised at home and the rabbits who came in had to build new nests for them.

In order to cover the sight of the commune members, the bamboo wall was built a little higher than the normal one, but it's a pity that planting flowers is not allowed now, otherwise Gu Mingdong would definitely have to plant a circle of roses to completely block the outside view.

The land in the yard has been tidied up, except for the chicken coop and the rabbit coop, places for drying clothes, playing, and enjoying the shade are all vacant.

Gu Liangchen helped from front to back, looked at the brand new chicken coop, and couldn't help but said: "Let's move to a new house, and the hen and little rabbit in the house also have a new home."

Originally, things would not adapt to moving to a new home, but Gu Mingdong has golden fingers. It is not an exaggeration to say that even if he does not consciously use his powers, the plants where he exists are more plump, and Xiaowu naturally likes it more.

The busiest one is Gu Sanmei. She used to work at the recycle bin, and only when she liked it, or thought other people in the family would like it, would she secretly take it home.

It's good now, I feel that the new home can come in handy when I see everything.

After a period of time, she really found all kinds of things that were lacking in the house, and Gu Mingdong looked at them so capablely.

Gu Di came to pick her up after get off work every day and went home with her, and he could always see his sister's big and small bags.

"Third brother, you took the wood home and said you could sit on a stool. What can you do with this broken bottle?" Gu Di asked puzzled.

Gu Mingxi said, "What do you know? My fourth sister asked me to find it. I will find a bunch of wild flowers in the spring. It will look beautiful."

She was holding a ceramic bottle in her hand. It looked nothing special. It was just a clean white bottle with a broken piece on it. If it was intact, it wouldn't be thrown into the recycling bin.

Gu Mingnan said speechlessly: "Are you still arranging flowers, are you in a hurry? This is not as good as rotten wood."

Gu Mingxi didn't condone him, he pinched him fiercely, and said amidst the old man's screams: "We're happy, I want you to take care of it."

Before waiting for Brother Gu to answer, Gu Mingxi rolled his eyes and said intentionally: "Women like flowers and plants, and when the mountains and fields are blooming in spring, you can pick some and give them to Sister Xiaoru to try, she will definitely like them too. "

Gu Mingnan said strangely: "Flowers are better than meat buns."

"Eat, eat, eat, what else do you know besides eating?"

"Cut, good men don't fight women." Gu Mingnan said firmly.

When he was almost home, he asked again: "Xiaoru really likes it too?"

Gu Mingxi suppressed a smile, and felt that Qian Xiaoru's eyesight was good at the moment, at least after her family became enlightened, everyone knew that they were thinking about the object, not like they used to always rob them.

Tsk, it really is a guy who values ​​sex and despises younger sisters. Now he only has his future wife in his eyes, so how could he have her younger sister.

"Of course, you can send it with confidence when the time comes." Even though he complained from the bottom of his heart, Gu Mingxi still hoped for their well-being.

Gu Mingnan rubbed his chin, secretly thinking that it is not easy to like flowers, and in spring, wild flowers will be everywhere in the mountains and plains.

After the spring of the next year, Gu Mingnan went up and down the mountain to pick flowers vigorously, picked a large bundle like a pile of firewood, put it on his shoulders and sent it to Qian Xiaoru's hands.

Gu Mingxi weighed it with his own hands, and the large bundle of azalea definitely weighed more than ten catties, she tried to dissuade her but was useless, so she could only look at her as a fool.

Not to mention the time when Qian Xiaoru was emotional, dumbfounded, and spent a long time before transporting the bundle of azalea that could withstand the firewood back home. On the day of returning to Laba, the old Gu's family had their first meal in their new home. Laba porridge is officially moved to a new home.

"Wow, the new home is so big, spacious, bright, and beautiful..." Gu Liangxing shouted exaggeratedly, standing in the hall with his hands on his hips, as if inspecting.

Gu Mingnan slapped his eldest nephew on the back of the head: "It's not your first time here, so why pretend?"

Gu Liangxing hugged his arm with his backhand, and shouted: "Uncle, what do you know, I am expressing my inner passion."

Gu Mingxi also sneered: "Ah Xing, if you have such energy in writing essays at school, you won't get zero points."

Gu Liangxing, who was almost at the bottom of the final exam, had a bitter face: "Didn't we agree not to mention this, why did you bring it up again?"

Especially his younger brother and Gu Yun were still watching. No matter how thick-skinned Gu Liangxing was, he felt ashamed. This guy completely forgot that they were in one class in elementary school. How was his grade and the other two could not get points?

Gu Mingdong also laughed: "Okay, let's not talk about it, but how much pocket money you get for the test scores, this time you won't have your share, work harder next time."

After the final exam, Gu Mingdong fulfilled his promise, as long as he got [-] points in the exam, he would get a dime reward, and he would get a few cents for a few hundred exams.

Gu Simei and Gu Liangchen are both double hundred, Gu Yun is a bit weak in math, and Chinese is also [-] points, Gu Liangxing is holding back the whole family, and directly let the average score drop to the passing line.

Gu Di himself is also a scumbag, rubbing his nephew's little head gloatingly at the moment: "Did you hear that, let's work harder in the future."

"I didn't learn from you if I didn't live up to expectations." Gu Sanmei laughed beside her.

But Gu Di said: "Ham, if I knew there would be a reward, then I must have studied hard back then. A dime or two is also good."

"Virtue."

Seeing that Gu Mingdong kept his promise, rewarded what should be given, and never let go of what should not be given, Gu Yun secretly pulled Gu Liangxing and said, "Brother, I will spend my money for you."

Gu Liangxing burst into tears with emotion, hugged the little girl and said, "Xiaoyun, you are so kind, big brother doesn't love you for nothing."

But in the end, he didn't take the little girl's money: "You keep this money for yourself, hmph, anyway, it's the Chinese New Year, and we can get the lucky money during the Chinese New Year."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger: "Three copies!"

It's a pity that the new year is still half a month away, and Gu Liangxing said that he is already hopeful.

Gu Mingdong ignored the little secrets between the children, and said with a smile: "Go into the house and see what's missing, and buy all the New Year's goods in a few days."

After the voice fell, the whole family ran into the house excitedly.

There are six rooms in total, Gu Mingdong occupies one, the twins live in his outer room, the two rooms on the east side are divided between the sisters, Gu Mingxi chooses the inner one, and Gu Mingbei chooses the outer one.

Sure enough, Gu Mingnan lived in the house on the west side. Originally, the room outside him was reserved for Gu Yun, but Gu Yun was too young and timid. Gu Simei said that the two of them still live together, and they are already used to living together. It is helpful to take care of each other. a companion.

Neither the younger sister nor the daughter cared, so Gu Mingdong naturally didn't insist.

So Gu Mingnan occupied two rooms by himself, and even felt that the room was too big and empty, so he asked them to pile up all the boxes that couldn't fit in the outer room, so that it wouldn't be empty.

Gu Mingdong followed into the room, his room was very simple, there was nothing but a bed, a cabinet and a desk, it looked extremely simple.

Gu Mingdong felt that it was clean, but the only problem was that the green brick house had no holes to hide things at all, so Gu Mingdong had to take out a green brick and put the incense burner where no one could find it.

For this reason, he also specially learned how to stick bricks, and got another skill by accident.

Although the twins still live in the same room, they have two beds. It is a one-meter small bed that Gu Mingdong specially hired someone to make. The current height of the two brothers is enough.

When they are older, the old house will naturally be repaired long ago.

There is a wooden cabinet at the bedside of the small bed, which allows the two brothers to put some things. From here, we can see their completely different personalities.

Gu Liangxing's bedside cabinet was already full of things, the cabinet was full, and there were all kinds of strange things on top of the cabinet, stones picked up in the river, shells, marbles, cards, and even a bunch of wild fruits that he liked , Judging by the color, it is estimated that it is already inedible.

On the other side, Gu Liangchen's bedside table was clean and tidy, just like Gu Mingdong's room, when he opened the door of the cabinet, the inside was also tidy.

Occasionally, Gu Mingdong saw the huge contrast, and felt that it would be embarrassing for Gu Liangchen to live with his eldest brother, so he turned a blind eye to the child's behavior of often sleeping in the back room with a pillow in his arms.

However, Gu Mingnan's house was comparable to that of his eldest nephew. Now that there are enough houses, knowing that other people are not likely to enter his house, he is even more free to let himself go.

The worn clothes are always lying on the bed or on the table, and when they are not put into the closet, occasionally Gu Sanmei goes in to tidy up, and she has to chase after Lao Hammer, and once again feels that Qian Xiaoru is unlucky, She certainly didn't know that the object was so sloppy.

Compared with the brothers' house, the house of the Gu family sisters is much cleaner and tidy.

Not to mention the tidying up inside and out, picture calendars were hung on the wall, vases were placed on the table, and there were little thoughts unique to girls everywhere.

There are no flowers in winter, and plum blossoms are not common in Shanghe Village. The sisters found a pine branch that would not lose its leaves.

Compared with the two sisters' houses, Gu Di's tossing is indeed like a pig's nest.

After the move, Gu Mingdong directly rejected the requests of the members to visit. After all, he already lived in someone's house, so what's the matter with people coming and going?

They really couldn't push it away, so let them go into the old house to have a look. Anyway, they always like to call friends.

Therefore, the busiest house in Lao Gu's family will always be Gu Lao's house.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, Gu Mingdong could hear the voices of his brothers and friends inside, thanks to the fact that there is no one living in the outer room, otherwise he would feel very annoying.

Gu Xiuxiu also brought the whole family back, mainly to congratulate her nephew's family on their housewarming, and by the way, tell them that Sun Qiang's wedding date has been set.

Sun Guodong's complexion improved a lot, probably because people are refreshed on happy occasions, and he no longer looks decadent like before.

Taking advantage of the time when my aunt and uncle were delivering letters to my third uncle's house, Gu Di pulled his cousin into his arms and asked forcefully, "Quickly tell me, why are you dating?"

"Fortunately, we still treat you as a brother, but you didn't tell us when you fell in love."

Sun Qiang was strangled by him, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "All right, all right, let me tell you."

"Quickly tell the truth."

Sun Qiang let out a hey, a little shy in his heart, and said after a while: "That's the thing, I like her, and she likes me, so we both see each other right."

The more he said that, Gu Di became more curious: "Then what kind of person will my cousin be in the future? We have to go to a wedding during the Chinese New Year. Knowing her temperament, we can match her up, right?"

Who knew that Sun Qiang looked at his cousin, and suddenly laughed: "If there were a few of you, she would definitely be happy just looking at it."

Gu Mingnan felt baffled in his heart: "Could it be someone we know?"

But the bottom of my heart felt like it shouldn't be, they didn't know a few unmarried girls.

Sun Qiang shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I'm telling you, don't let my mother know——Yanyan doesn't like anything else, she just likes good-looking people."

After speaking, she raised her head and said proudly, "The reason she likes me is because I'm pretty enough."

Gu Mingnan looked at him, hesitant to speak.

"What are you doing, I'm not handsome, your cousin?" Sun Qiang laughed.

Gu Mingnan immediately said: "In terms of masculinity, you can't compare with my brother, and in terms of handsomeness, you can't compare with me. It's over, then should we go to your wedding? Robbed."

"Bah, look at you." Sun Qiang cursed angrily, "Now Yanyan only has me in her heart."

It can be seen that although the time to talk about the partner is short, the relationship between Sun Qiang and the future partner seems to be very good.

At the end, Sun Qiang changed the subject and asked forcefully: "Don't just talk about me, talk about yourself, I'll say Anan, you found a partner at a young age, and you have to get married and have children in two years. early."

"What do you know? I was lucky. I met the right person early on. Unlike you who have been going around for so many years, my aunt and uncle were so anxious that their white hair grew out."

While eating melon seeds, Gu Mingdong watched his cousin and younger brother bickering, enjoying themselves leisurely.

What he didn't know was that apart from sending wedding invitations and looking at the new house, Gu Xiuxiu also had another task to come here this time, which was to ask Third Aunt Gu if there was any suitable person in her hand, who would arrange for Gu Mingdong after the new year.

Knowing nothing about his aunt and aunt's plans, Gu Mingdong still happily watched the play.

Until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Baojia smiled and invited him over, saying that Uncle Gu had something to do with him.

When Gu Mingdong heard this, he thought he was going to discuss the new year's farming plan, but when he arrived at the place, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Uncle Gu sitting at the top, Aunt Gu sitting next to him, and the two daughters-in-law of the Gu family as companions, sitting opposite each other. It was a strange girl.

Seeing him coming in, the girl looked up, blushed when she saw him, and lowered her head shyly.

Gu Mingdong's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said "Oops."
