When it was another year, everyone started to get busy. Feng Qi looked at the silver notes in his hand and could not stop smiling. Gu Qingzhang, who was standing beside him, was filled with love.
This was great! This amount of money was enough for them to spend for a long time. They turned around and glanced at Gu Qingzhang, who was already in great condition. A meaningful smile appeared on their faces.
"What are you thinking of now? It seems like you are planning something." Gu Qingzhang couldn't help but ask as he was being stared at.
"I'm thinking that now that we have money, the first step is to revise the house." Although they had made a simple adjustment when they moved here, there was still a leak.
"Then it's time for the furniture to be refurbished, don't you think?" Feng Qingyue turned her head towards Gu Qingzhang, still wanting to ask for his opinion.
"Mm, it's your decision." As soon as she finished speaking, she stopped speaking. Feng Qingyue curled her lips. As expected, she was just as boring as she thought.
This was the first time she had properly visited this house. Although it looked extremely dilapidated, it was still very big and there was a deserted pond in the backyard.
It was said that it was passed down from the older generation, but it was unknown why they didn't renovate and live here.
On the right side of the main courtyard was a study room. However, it was too broken to look at. "Cough, cough."
She took off the loose door in July, and the dust rose up, making her cough.
"What's wrong? "Are you choking? Leave this menial work to me. You just need to be in charge of leading the charge." As he spoke, he took the door from July and placed it on the floor.
July smiled, but didn't refuse. This kind of thing, when it was time to let a man perform, let a man perform.
Half a day had already passed. The two of them were panting heavily as they sat on the chairs. When they looked at the already quite decent looking mansion, they smiled at each other.
"Sis, shatter. Eldest sister, shatter. Quickly, help me catch it." Sister Xu walked in with a box in her hand.
"I've been listening to all of you fiddling around for the whole morning. There's no smoke coming out of the chimney, so I know that you guys definitely haven't eaten yet. Since sister-in-law has something ready, I'll bring it to you. I hope you don't mind." Madam Xu walked in from next door.
"It's sister-in-law. Come in quickly and take a seat. If there's anything you don't mind, just that it's not done yet. It's sister-in-law who doesn't mind." July happily received the food. It had already been so long, so she didn't feel anything when she was working. Now that she stopped, it wasn't as if she was starving.
"Sister-in-law." Gu Qingzhang slightly nodded to show his courtesy.
Sigh, sister-in-law won't go in. I thought you guys didn't eat, so I sent it over. I won't disturb you guys from eating.
With that, Lady Xu turned and left. She did not stay any longer in July, but she had already remembered this favor. In such a remote area, perhaps only Madam Xu and her family could be near him.
July opened the box and sniffed at it with her nose. When she opened the box, there was actually meat, she looked up at Gu Qingzhang in shock. Didn't they say that all ancient times were poor? Why was this Madam Xu so generous?
Seemingly hearing July's thoughts, Gu Qingzhang smiled and said, "This is Madam Xu. Her husband's family is a hunter, and they live in such a remote place because they are afraid of you."
July nodded her head in understanding. So that was the case, then this meat was nothing surprising. He took out the rest of the dishes. Two dishes and a soup. It could be considered quite sumptuous now. There was also a plate of rice.
July couldn't resist the temptation to taste it first: "En, it's delicious. Brother April, you should try it too." He picked up a piece of meat and placed it in his bowl. Gu Qingzhang didn't seem to mind at all as the two of them ate in quite a delicious manner.
"Sister Xu is a good person. When we have time, we must thank her properly." Gu Qingzhang said.
"Yes, yes." Her mouth was stuffed with food; it was simply too delicious. Even the restaurant was not as tasty as the food that Aunt Xu cooked. She must consult her properly another day.
"You can chat with sister-in-law when you have nothing to do. Sister-in-law actually has quite a lot of twists and turns." Gu Qingzhang said as he took a sip of water.
How could he bear it? He said slowly, "In the past, Sister-in-law Xu was considered the best in the village, but on the way to visit her relatives, they ran into a fierce tiger. Coincidentally, Big Brother Xu saved her, but …"
"But sister-in-law Xu's parents never escaped, right?" July answered.
"Yes, later on, when my sister-in-law became lonely, her days weren't too good. There were always hooligans who harassed her, and after another tug, she was saved by Big Brother Xu."
"Since then, Madam Xu has promised Big Brother Xu in her heart. Seeing that Big Brother Xu is a man, there will always be inconvenience in life, so she helped Big Brother Xu wash and cook. Over time, the two of them got together."
"Big Brother Xu and Eldest Sister Xu have no parents, so Big Brother Xu coming here to find a matchmaker and even bringing the village head here to take the lead for the wedding is a good story."
July could imagine that in this age the matchmaker's coal cost two taels of silver. She guessed that Elder Brother Xu didn't want others to say that his sister-in-law had no coal to go with him, so he brought the matchmaker and the village head to bear witness.
Seeing the envious look on July's face, Gu Qingzhang couldn't help scratching her nose with his forefinger, "We'll be better off."
"Yes, better than them." July revealed lovely tiger teeth, they are also very happy now.
The next day, he and Gu Qingzhang came to the market early in July and sold the rest of their stock to Shopkeeper Wang. Although it was almost autumn now, they could still store the potatoes in the cellar for a while as they would rot in the summer.
The two of them came to a carpenter's shop: "Boss, we came to customize the furniture." Seeing no one, July shouted.
"He's coming." Who was it that would let him have such a good night's sleep so early in the morning?
If she had heard it in July, she would have said, "Where's the early morning?" Even though they had left early, the sun was almost in the middle of the sky, so other shops were already open for business.
Hearing the lazy voice, July couldn't help but have some doubts. If Shopkeeper Wang hadn't told her that this was the best carpenter's shop, she would have thought that she went through the wrong door.
Gu Qingzhang gave her a calm look as he felt the warmth from his hands. He lowered his head shyly as his ears turned red.
"I wonder what kind of furniture would you like me to order, what kind of wood it is? Let's talk about the price later. Here are some commonly used styles, take a look for yourself."
He scratched his messy hair and yawned. No wonder he couldn't lift it. There were too few people here to buy furniture.
