Mountain People

Chapter 31: Busy, Dong Chenghu's sister

    Now, their family is no longer the richest in Caozi Village, and more importantly, with the help of Dong Chenghu, Gu Daniu is going to work in the county government. And he always thought that he could help the daughter and son-in-law of their family without even seeing a person, let alone helping their family.

    Huang was so angry that he dropped a bunch of things, and then felt distressed and hated the Gu Mingde family even more. I don't know who took the initiative to plot against others in the first place. This person just doesn't look down on others!

    Because of this matter, Huang's determined to go to Panlong Town to find Gu Zhuzhu with Gu Laifu, and asked in person what she meant. They tried their best to marry her into the town, but the result was That girl turned a blind eye to them, the Huang family couldn't bear it.

    If she doesn't get some benefits from Gu Zhenzhu again, how will she raise her head in front of Dad Gu in the future? It was her and Gu Laifu who made the tricks that caused Dad Gu to lose faith in others, Dad Gu It is impossible to blame Gu Laifu, then she can only count everything on her head.

    Thinking about this, Huang became more and more unable to sit still, and went to Panlong Town with Gu Laifu the next day.

    Not to mention what happened after Huang saw Gu Zhuzhu.

    Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu returned home and started to burn bricks and build a house energetically.

    Now that the house has been designed, and the bricks they have burned are enough for them to lay the foundation, Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu walked around the Cuizhu Mountain several times, and finally chose a high place not far from the cave to build the house , There are about five or six acres of flat land on this highland, which is more than enough to build a large yard. More importantly, it is easy to clean up here, the terrain is relatively high, and there is no need to worry about rain or anything.

    Just do it. The next day, Gu Shuixiu and Dongcheng together measured the land and made a ruler. Dong Chenghu immediately broke ground, while Gu Shuixiu went to find a big tree suitable for the beam and marked it on the tree At that time, Dong Chenghu will come directly to cut down the tree.

    After finishing all these, Gu Shuixiu went on to burn the bricks, not only the bricks of the house, but also the tiles of the roof, as well as the tiles on the ground.

    Gu Shuixiu mixed the slime from seaweed with the sifted soil and grass and sawdust to act as concrete. Dong Chenghu laid the foundation and started to build the house. Hurry up and hurry, it took a month to finally build the general structure of the house.

    

    Today's houses are similar to modern bungalows. Although there is only one floor, the height has been increased, and a small attic can be used to store things.

      question.

      A few of them were left in the yard in front of the cave at will. These big trees that were cut down could not be used directly. They had to be thoroughly dried before they could be used as roof beams.

    Dong Chenghu simply covered some hay on it, waiting for the rainy season to pass before drying.

    The time for Gu Daniu's report had not yet arrived, so the two of them continued to burn bricks during this time. The tiles are smaller, but the floor tiles are more labor-intensive and need to be polished. Once polished, they are similar to tiles.

    Because of the complicated process, Gu Shuixiu planned to only lay the floor tiles in the house, while those in the yard would go to the beach to find pebbles, which would save trouble and convenience.

    The two have been busy for a few days. Because there is no sunlight, all the floor tiles that have been made are placed in the cave. If they cannot be dried, they can only be air-dried. When the couple comes back from Panlong Town, they will be fired again. .

    During this period of time, Gu's family was looking forward to Gu Shuixiu and his wife, and they were already looking forward to seeing them. After finally getting them to look forward to it, Gu Daniu immediately chased Dong Chenghu and asked about going to the county government office.

    Zhao clarified his thoughts, first asked about the donkey cart, and finally asked Gu Mingde's money for treatment, and then he considered Dong Chenghu's family background.

    I don’t blame Zhao’s curiosity, Dong Chenghu looked like a beggar at first, but now he is so rich, the contrast is not so big, if the Gu Laifu family knew that Dong Chenghu was so rich, they would not It is possible to give such a golden turtle-in-law to their family.

    Gu Shuixiu did not intend to go into details with Zhao, and the ambiguity was mixed. It is not that she does not trust Zhao, but that Zhao has to deal with these village women every day, and it is inevitable that there will be leaks When the wind is blowing, they will be missed, so why bother.

    If it wasn't for Gu Mingde's heavy burden, she wouldn't tell Gu Mingde these things.

    Having a donkey cart makes it much easier for a few people to go out. Gu Daniu packed up his clothes and urged Dong Chenghu to leave quickly. Gu Shuixiu went to Panlong Town to visit Gu Mingde and followed them gone together.

    At that time, Gu Shuixiu will stay in Panlong Town to serve Gu Mingde for a few days, and then pick her up when Dong Chenghu returns from Zhishui County.

    Because it was the rainy season, and the family's work was not busy, Dong Chenghu drove a donkey cart and took Gu Daniu to Zhishui County slowly and leisurely. Gu Shuixiu took care of Gu Mingde for ten days. Shui County is back.

    Just looking at his expression seemed a little ugly, Gu Shuixiu felt strange, and finally couldn't hold back her question all day.

    Only then did I know that Dong Chenghu had an older sister and a younger sister. My younger sister Dong Yunlan was lost when she was young. Because her family was poor, her older sister Dong Yunmei gave it to a family in Zhishui County when she was eight years old. When someone was a child bride, the reason why they fell in love with that family was because the son of that family was a scholar, but the family devoted all their efforts to supporting their children to study, and they were too poor.

      , I went back to Zhishui County to inquire about it, but what I heard was all bad news.

    Some people say that Dong Yunmei's mother-in-law abused her, and some people say that because Dong Yunmei gave birth to two daughters and was rejected by her husband's family, it is a loser, so it is very bad for them, often not giving food.

    Dong Chenghu was very worried when he heard it, and immediately went to find Dong Yunmei. He dragged Gu Daniu to the door of Dong Yunmei's mother-in-law's house. The younger brother, with a look of disgust, not only did not let them in, but also stood at the door and sneered.

    Dong Chenghu was very angry, but the other party was a little daughter-in-law and could not do anything. Dong Chenghu, who was full of anger, asked the neighbors and found out that the little daughter-in-law was Dong Yunmei's husband's newly married flat wife , This little daughter-in-law is amazing, she also has a cousin who is Dong Yunmei's husband.
