Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 465: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

Gu Li continued to fantasize: "The academy across the street may not open for a while, but you can see that our houses are damaged. They must need to be repaired. By then, there will be a large number of craftsmen working here. Let's cook for these people first and practice in advance."

"Is there any explanation for this?" Hua Qiangsheng asked.

"Of course. Most of the craftsmen are recruited from the villages outside the city, and they work mostly to fill their stomachs. For them, the taste of the food we make is secondary, but it must be able to resist hunger."

When Aunt Bai heard this, she also joined the discussion, "I know this. The men in the escort agency all have big appetites, and they can only be full if they are fed with coarse grain steamed buns."

Huaqiangsheng: ------

They can be full if they eat a few bowls of white rice.

Gu Li nodded, then shook her head, "Coarse grain steamed buns can help to relieve hunger, but everyone has these things, and they can be brought from home. We need to provide steamed buns and pancakes, and also make some side dishes to go with the steamed buns and pancakes."

"It's all physical work. Without oil and water, there is no strength!"

The price of food sold to craftsmen cannot be set too high, but, "Can we still make money?"

Gu Li smiled proudly, "Yes, of course. I'll write two recipes later. You only need a little bit of meat to make the whole pot of food fragrant."

No one was suspicious about Gu Li having a recipe, but someone asked in confusion: "When did Xiao Li learn to write?"

Gu Li: ------

I got so excited that I let the cat out of the bag!

"Hehe, hehe, I dictate and he writes down!" Gu Li raised her hand and pointed at He Yunwang who was sitting opposite her.

He Yunwang just raised his eyelids to take a look at Gu Li, who looked carefree, and then lowered his eyes again.

Tao Chunhua: "Okay, I'll go to the study tomorrow to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone." These things are what Ayun will need in the future. The sooner they are bought, the sooner Ayun can return to reading.

"Ayun, go to the bookstore with me tomorrow and pick out a few more books you want to read!"

He Yunwang poked the fire with a small wooden stick, without looking at Tao Chunhua, and said, "Tomorrow I will go to Changqing Village with my uncle to register for household registration."

"Then we'll talk about it when you come back."

The excited Tao Chunhua did not notice He Yunwang's dark eyes, and went over to discuss the next important thing with Aunt Bai.

He Xingqing asked his rapidly growing nephew with concern, "What happened to Ayun?"

He Yunwang stared at the jumping flames in front of him, shook his head and said nothing.

Ever since he met the people from the escort agency on the road, he seemed to have become even more taciturn, and saying five sentences a day was considered a lot.

This kind of Ayun made him feel a little unfamiliar. He had never seen him so negative during the most difficult times of fleeing famine, and he even had the energy to argue with Xiao Li'er.

"Okay then. Let's go to the city gate tomorrow to find people to repair the house. We'll use these people to practice first!" Hua Qiangsheng made the final decision.

Gu Mancang also took the initiative to take on the job, "Tomorrow I will take my sister-in-law and Chunhua to the countryside to collect some vegetables and game."

Tao Chunhua: "Okay, it's just right to send Ayun and Xingqing to Changqing Village, so why not go to Changqing Village to pick vegetables first!"

"Tomorrow, Hua Cheng and his brother will go to the grain and rice shop in the city to buy some flour and millet, as well as various seasonings, oil, salt and the like." After thinking for a while, Hua Qiangsheng said, "Forget it, let me do it."

Everyone's tomorrow was fully scheduled and no one thought of assigning work to Gu Li.

Gu Li expressed her satisfaction with this.

She is still a child. If she works too hard, she won't grow tall.

It was not until then that they remembered the others who had come into the city with them.

"I don't know where Brother Tongyi and the others have chosen to go, and what they are doing now!"

Zhang Tongyi and a few others including Fan Shuigen also looked at the houses in Ginkgo Lane. They were so frightened by the dilapidated houses there that they went to the south of the city without stopping.

As long as you compare the two houses, you will know which one to choose.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tongyi and his friends had already obtained their land deeds, and each family had started to pack up their belongings, but Hua Qiangsheng and his friends did not come over.

Zhang Tongyi ordered his son Zhuzi to look around and finally found two families sitting on the ground in Ginkgo Lane.

Then I heard that they had chosen two yards here, and that they had already started their business.

Zhuzi was dumbfounded. His father was planning to focus on opening the escort company and was thinking of everyone pooling money to rent a house in the county town.

Zhuzi didn't care about Hua Qiangsheng's attempts to keep him and ran away.

Although their family finally didn't have to sleep on the floor in the open air today, their house in the south of the city was small and crowded, with a main room, a living room, and three side rooms, and he and his brother had to squeeze into one room.

And here, there is actually a large courtyard with two entrances.

Why does he feel that his father is picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?

That night, the Gu family still slept together on the floor. Even though they slept indoors, He Xingqing picked up unburned wood from the ruins and lit a fire in the house to drive away mosquitoes.

"The ground is very damp, so Xiaoli'er sleeps on the burned area."

The fire was moved away a little, and Tao Chunhua spread tarpaulin and a thin quilt on the warm area.

She kept mumbling, "I have to go to the shops in the city tomorrow to buy some bedding, clothes and other things."

They walked from the hot summer to the cool autumn, and their clothes were too thin.

Sleeping together in this way can keep you warm.

Gu Li collapsed and lay down without any hesitation.

The brocade quilt under them was one that Tao Chunhua had taken from the belongings of County Magistrate Zhou. They had been using it as a cushion to sleep on the ground until now, and the brocade patterns on the surface had long been scratched beyond recognition.

Gu Li listened to the nagging voices around her and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, there was no one around me. I was wrapped in two pieces of clothes that belonged to someone else. They were so tight that my hands and feet could not move easily.

Gu Li knew without thinking that this was Tao Chunhua's masterpiece. The two sleeves of the tunic were wrapped around each other and tied in a knot around Gu Li's abdomen.

No matter how Gu Li turned around in her sleep, she couldn't kick off the blanket on her body.

When Tao Chunhua explained this method to Gu Mancang for the first time, she used Gu Li as a demonstration. Gu Mancang exclaimed that Tao Chunhua knew how to take care of children and was a good mother.

Rubbing her messy hair, Gu Li got up from the ground, went out to look around, and only saw He Yunwang squatting on the ruins and digging for wood in the west room.

The two looked at each other, neither speaking.

Gu Li returned to the east room and lay down peacefully.

After a while, the yard became lively.

He Xingqing, who had gone out to buy breakfast, came back, and Gu Mancang and Hua Qiangsheng, who had gone to the grain and rice shop to buy some, also came back.

Hua Cheng's voice came from the direction of the door, "Sister Li'er, are you still sleeping? My mother has already put the noodles she rolled into the pot!"

Gu Mancang, her biological father, said: "Your sister Li'er is still young. Children tend to sleep a lot, which means she is growing."
