OBS Chapter 349 Wen Shengxi
Chapter 349 Wen Shengxi
"Brother Dong, here are ten taels of silver, take it with you." Gu Qingqing went back to the house and pretended to take out ten pieces of silver for Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong frowned as he looked at the silver. "Didn't you say that the maximum amount was seven taels?"
"I think so, but what if something goes wrong? You should carry more with you. It's best not to use the extra ones. If you can't negotiate seven taels, the ten taels are at your disposal." Gu Qingqing explained.
Zhao Dong hesitated for a moment and then took the money.
That night, after Zhao Bei learned about this, he also wanted to go. There was nothing to do the next day, so Zhao Dong took the initiative and agreed.
Just like that, at dawn the next day, the group had lunch at Gu Qingqing's place and followed Daxin to Shuangxi Village.
Because Zhao Qin was there, Gu Qingqing hardly had to get involved, and the bamboo shoots were cooked very quickly.
She carried the big iron pot she had bought to the newly built pigpen and temporarily handed it to Yang Xing.
"In the future, you can cook pig grass and wheat bran in a pot before feeding them. Don't worry about firewood, I will ask them to bring it to you later."
"Look at what you're talking about. This won't require much firewood, and there are so many of us. You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on how to do things here, and leave the rest to us." After Yang Xing knew what she was going to do, she refused.
Gu Qingqing didn't argue with her about this matter. After finding out about the situation of the chickens and ducks, she went back.
After returning home, I went to the backyard and cleaned up a room. There was no kang in the backyard, so I put a bamboo bed there.
"Mom, will my aunt live in this room when she comes over later?" Dahua was waiting for her mother to make the bed while holding a quilt.
"Well, live here first. When your father comes back from vacation, you will have to move back to the east wing. As for the west wing, when Erhua grows up and wants to live there, you sisters will have to keep the room for you."
Gu Qingqing asked Dahua to call her "Auntie" according to Gu Qi's perspective.
She was Gu Qi's aunt, and it was somewhat inappropriate for Dahua to call her "aunt", but she could get by with "little aunt". Otherwise, she really didn't know how to address her.
In addition, Gu Qingqing had some concerns about living there, and always felt that the room given to her two daughters should not be occupied by someone else first.
Although Lu Xiaomiao was arranged by her to live in the backyard, the house in the backyard had never been used since it was built.
It is also quite far away from the poultry in the backyard, which makes sense.
After the mother and daughter finished their work here, they went to do their own things.
She started cooking early with Dahua, making some of the meat they bought today into braised pork, and cut the rest into thin slices and braised with bamboo shoots.
I cooked a few more vegetarian dishes and scrambled eggs, and finally, thinking it might not be enough, I fried some shredded pork with salted radish strips.
Until the sun was about to set, Gu Qingqing still didn't see them come back, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Mom, why hasn't Uncle Zhaodong come back yet?" Dahua was looking forward to it.
"I don't know. Even if it doesn't work out, you should come back earlier!"
It is not like before. In the past, they could see far away when standing at the doorstep, but the crops in the fields were growing day by day and had begun to block their view.
"Don't worry, mom. With Uncle Zhaodong here, they will definitely be back soon! Then when aunt comes, can sister study with us?" Erhua stepped forward and held Gu Qingqing's hand and said.
Gu Qingqing looked down at her and smiled, "Of course you can. From now on, the three of you will study together. Don't let yourself fall behind in academics!"
Gu Qingqing teased her.
Erhua looked at her elder sister who was separated from her by a mother. Seeing that her elder sister looked at her confidently, she winked at her elder sister, then looked at Gu Qingqing again, "Mother, I will definitely not be the worst."
Gu Qingqing hummed and raised her hand to stroke the back of her head.
Woof woof woof ~
At this moment, Dahei suddenly shouted in the direction they came from, and Gu Qingqing then saw that several people were walking towards the house.
"We're back." As she said this, the three people and the dog came over to greet them.
There were four of us when we left, and five when we came back.
Gu Qingqing nodded to Zhao Dong and the others as a greeting, and then her eyes fell on a very slim girl walking behind them.
"Xiao Miao, I'm your brother-in-law's sister, you can also call me sister." Gu Qingqing walked up to her and greeted her while looking her up and down.
She was wearing inappropriate clothes with patches on them, and had her hair in a half-bun with some of her hair draped over her shoulders. Her withered and yellow hair formed a sharp contrast with the vibrant crops around her.
How old did Xiaocao say she was at the time? Thirteen?
She is much taller than Dahua, and looks to be around eleven or twelve years old at most.
That sallow complexion revealed her malnutrition. At this moment, her Lu Xiaomiao looked so much like when she first met Dahua.
As she was looking around, Lu Xiaomiao saw her and walked towards her quickly. Before Gu Qingqing could react, she knelt down quickly with red eyes.
"Thank you, sister, for saving my life. I will never forget it. When I came here, sister told me how good you are. This is the blessing I have accumulated in three lifetimes to be able to stay with you. From now on, I will do all the housework."
Lu Xiaomiao kowtowed to Gu Qingqing as she spoke.
She was too excited, calling "sister" left and right. If someone who didn't know the truth was around, they would definitely be fainted by her calls.
When Gu Qingqing reacted and tried to stop her, Lu Xiaomiao was determined not to stand up. "Sister, from today on, I am a member of the Wen family. Sister, please don't call me Xiaomiao anymore. Please give me a name."
There is still this? Gu Qingqing complained in her heart.
But he looked at her seriously and asked, "Are you sure? Do you want to change your name?"
Lu Xiaomiao nodded firmly.
Gu Qingqing nodded, then her eyes fell on the afterimage of the setting sun, and she slowly said, "The sun has to set before it can rise the next day. From now on, your name will be Shengxi. It's not the "Xi" that means "like", but the dawn, the bright star, the rising sun, the brightness! Just like the rising sun, give yourself a bright future."
Lu Xiaocao raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and smiled happily, "Thank you, sister. I will be called Wen Shengxi from now on."
"Okay! Wen Shengxi!" Gu Qingqing looked down at her.
Only after she kowtowed three times did Gu Qingqing come forward to pull her up, and then introduced Dahua and Erhua to her.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard today. I have prepared dinner for my family. This is also Shengxi's first meal at home."
When Wen Shengxi entered the house, he was deeply shocked by his sister's family.
This was the first time she had seen such a big and beautiful house.
Gu Qingqing first took her to the room prepared for her in the backyard. "From now on, you will live in this room. If you need anything, just tell me. There are clean clothes prepared here. I will boil some water for you to take a bath later."
Wen Shengxi looked at the house that was many times bigger than her old house, and the brand new bedding on the bed, and clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands, "Sister, you don't have to give me such a nice house and quilt, just give me the old ones at home."
