Chapter 145: Give me a new house?
Chapter 145: Give me a new house?
The sound of firecrackers rang out, and Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing invited everyone to come to the new house.
Because the people invited to dinner were the craftsmen who helped build the house, the village chief, relatives and friends, and they were all from Niutoushan Village, so no special reception arrangements were made.
If the relationship had not been severed, the old Wen family would naturally be indispensable. But now that the relationship has been severed, Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing did not ask them to help when they built the house, and they would not invite them to the dinner this time.
So, as for the relatives, Gu Qingqing asked her mother, Gu Zhuangzhuang and Xiaocao to come together, but she also knew that not all three of them could come.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, Wen Wuyan saw that his mother-in-law had not arrived yet, so he moved closer to Gu Qingqing and said, "My mother-in-law might be on the way. I think she should be here soon."
Gu Qingqing understood what he meant and gave him a reassuring look in return, "Well, the auspicious time has come, let's go in first and talk about it."
Everyone followed the host into the gate. At the same time, there was a fellow villager who didn't interact much with Gu Qingqing mixed in the crowd.
As soon as I walked past the screen wall, I was shocked by the huge courtyard.
A small path paved with blue bricks in the yard leads to each door.
The windows with hinges can be opened and covered with paper.
"Qingqing, your house is so spacious. Please take us to visit your new house so that we can broaden our horizons." Someone in the crowd spoke up.
After the new house was built, many of these people came to help, but because they did not come every day, they did not know what the new house looked like in the end.
Looking at the tidy new house now, I can't wait to check it out room by room.
Gu Qingqing was naturally happy to do so. "Okay, I'll show you around."
Over there, Wen Wuyan led a group of men and went straight to the inner courtyard.
Gu Qingqing began to introduce the woman and the child. She pointed to the upside-down room and showed it to everyone, "There are five rooms here including the doorway. There is a single room next to the door. It is currently empty. I don't know what it is used for. There are three rooms left here. One is for living. The child's father said that he wants to use the other two rooms to study with Uncle Yang."
"The second son of the Wen family is studying in town. He is said to go to the county to take the examination for a scholar in the spring of next year. The third son has also learned to read and write, so won't he also have to take the examination for a scholar in the future?" Someone in the crowd whispered.
"If it was before the relationship was severed, and the third son could pass the exam, wouldn't the Wen family have treated the whole village to a banquet? Now, all this has nothing to do with them."
"If you ask me, it doesn't matter. The couple now has fields and houses. Qingqing has a craft, and they are both hardworking. Their family will definitely get better and better in the future." Yuzhu's mother Niu Li heard the previous and subsequent words in the crowd, and now she said to Wen Wuyan.
Some of them were talking in low voices when someone entered the room over there.
As soon as I entered, I exclaimed in surprise, "Your house is so rare, you actually used white walls, how come it's so bright inside the house."
The people who followed in were all looking at the white wall in curiosity. One of them looked calm and composed, but actually acted sneakily. He saw a bamboo bed in the room, covered with cleanly washed bedding, and then he said, "Huh?" "Why is there a bed in this room? Is someone going to live here?"
As some people in the crowd expressed confusion, more people also felt confused when seeing this scene.
There are five people in their family, and it seems unsuitable for any of them to live here.
Gu Qingqing, who came in with them, saw that everyone was full of doubts, but no one looked contemptuous. She smiled and admitted loudly, "Didn't I just say that someone must live in this room?"
"Your family seems to have a lot of houses. Dahua and Erhua are cheap girls, but they don't have to live in the southeast room which is neither warm in winter nor cool in summer, right?" the man muttered in a low voice.
She spoke softly, but Gu Qingqing still heard it all. She looked in the direction of the sour smell and the scent of discord between them, and found that it was someone from the west of the village who had little contact with her family.
However, although the woman in front of her had little contact with her, Gu Qingqing knew that she was close to Zhang Cuilan.
Because their maiden families were from the same village.
At this time, Dahua and Erhua, who were happily following their mother, didn't know who the room was for, but they knew it was definitely not their younger sister or elder sister.
Dahua held Gu Qingqing's hand and said to the person who just spoke, "Aunt, this is not my and my sister's room. Our room is still inside and has been tidied up. It's very beautiful."
"Well, my sister and I packed it together. We like it very much. I'll show you later."
Gu Qingqing had a plan in mind, but today was her family's big day, so she laughed and spoke a little more slowly, "You know the situation in your family. Our daughter is our precious treasure. Besides, this room is for other people to live in."
"Ah? Others? Not for family members to stay in?"
"How can you bear to let someone else live in such a nice house?"
"Could it be those outsiders?"
Gu Qingqing saw that their guesses were becoming more and more outrageous, and then, even though she stretched her neck to look outside the door, she did not see Li Xin.
The house was noisy, and she just stretched her head out to shout into the yard, "Daxin, Daxin, are you there?"
"Daxin, come here."
Li Xin, who was holding Sanhua and watching from the screen wall, heard his aunt calling him. He immediately said "Hey" and then walked towards the yard.
At this moment, Gu Qingqing finally poked her head out from the crowd, looked at the depressed Li Daxin, and waved to him quickly.
Li Xin squeezed into the room, not knowing what was going on. "Aunt, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"You must be tired of holding Sanhua. Come and let me hold you."
Li Xin immediately thought: Is it because I am a beggar that I cannot enter the bridal chamber? So my aunt wants me to take Sanhua so that I can leave?
Despite his thoughts, he still gave Sanhua to Gu Qingqing reluctantly.
His expression was clearly seen by Gu Qingqing, who held Sanhua in one hand and put the other hand on his shoulder, asking, "Daxin, what do you think of this room? Do you like it?"
Li Xin didn’t know why his aunt asked this. How could a new house be bad?
He barely looked at the house before nodding, "Good, it looks good."
Gu Qingqing looked at the unhappy Li Xin with an auntie smile and spoke again, "Then this room is for you to live in. Do you like it?"
Li Xin's eyes widened instantly, and even his breathing became rapid, "Aunt, Aunt, you said you would let me live here?"
He even raised his finger and pointed at himself unconsciously.
"Yes, you will live here in the future. If you want to study, you can follow your uncle to study. If you want to go up the mountain, you can go up the mountain. You can do whatever you want. When you tie your hair, you can leave if you want."
Gu Qingqing tilted her head, and her voice sounded as sweet as honey to Li Xin, although he didn't know what honey tasted like.
Li Xin still found it a little unconvincing. How could he deserve to live in such a big house?
