Chapter 10 The cowshed leaks

As the saying goes, if you come, you will be safe. Now that she has traveled to this era, let's live well.

On the dilapidated dinner table, Gu Xingshen looked at Cheng Qingxue nervously, this was the first time he had cooked for a female comrade, not to mention that he cared about Cheng Qingxue's opinion very much in his heart.

Cheng Qingxue blew the boiled mushrooms, put them in her mouth and bit them gently, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she continued to eat them happily.

Having eaten so many varieties of mushrooms in the 21st century, Cheng Qingxue felt that it was not as good as what Gu Xingshen did. Just as she was about to praise Gu Xingshen, Gu Xingshen asked, "How does it taste?"

"Very tasty, it's the best mushroom I've ever eaten in my life. After speaking, Cheng Qingxue took another piece of mushroom into the old man's bowl, with a smile on her face.

The dim oil lamp emitted a faint light, and Cheng Qingxue's smile was like a hammer gently knocking on Gu Xingshen's heart, making Gu Xingshen feel that his whole person was warm.

After dinner, Cheng Qingxue naturally began to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the old man sitting on the side nodded with satisfaction, the granddaughter-in-law chosen by his grandson was really good.

thought that if he was assigned to such a place, his grandson's marriage would not be too satisfying to him. Unexpectedly, Cheng Qingxue's every move was very different, and it was three points better than the girl in the city.

Seeing that the weather was gradually getting cooler, at night, the cowshed was leaking everywhere.

Originally, Cheng Qingxue thought that her body could survive, but she only lasted two days before she suffered from the wind cold.

On the bed, Cheng Qingxue's coughing appearance made Gu Xingshen feel a little distressed. also began to complain about himself in his heart, if he hadn't let Cheng Qingxue go up the mountain with him all day long, I'm afraid Cheng Qingxue wouldn't have caught a cold.

"This is the ginger soup I just boiled, you drink it quickly, it should be fine to sweat after drinking and sleeping for a while." Gu Xingshen boiled the only two remaining pieces of ginger in the family to Cheng Qingxue, and only hoped that Cheng Qingxue would get better soon.

Cheng Qingxue glanced at Gu Xingshen with blank eyes, nodded, and drank the ginger soup in a big gulp.

Suddenly, a stream of heat swirled in Cheng Qingxue's body. My body, which was still a little chilly just now, suddenly got much better.

Thinking that the weather would only get colder and colder, Cheng Qingxue endured the discomfort of her body and wanted to get up. Her body had just straightened up, and Gu Xingshen hurriedly pressed her arm.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Xingshen's tone was a little annoyed.

"I'm fine, I just drank ginger soup and I'm getting better. Let's either take advantage of the weather when the weather is not very cold these days to go to the mountains and chop some firewood and come back, otherwise, by the time the winter comes, we may only freeze to death. ”

Cheng Qingxue's words made a trace of anxiety flash on Gu Xingshen's face, he had already thought that when it went on like this until winter, they would definitely not be able to hold on.

Originally, he wanted to go to the mountains to chop firewood today, but Cheng Qingxue's state made him very uneasy.

Looking at Cheng Qingxue's slightly flushed face, Gu Xingshen's eyes dodged, and he turned around and picked up the axe.

"You have a good rest at home, I'll go chop wood. After speaking, Gu Xingshen had already disappeared from Cheng Qingxue's sight.

Although the weather is getting cooler, there are still many wild things on the mountain, and Cheng Qingxue's heart is very uneasy.

Just as she was about to get up and chase out, the faint voice of the old man in the cowshed came: "Don't go and make trouble for him, let him go to chop wood alone, he went almost every day before, and he is familiar with the mountain road." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxue had no choice but to give up.

Gu Xingshen walked to the top of the mountain alone with an axe, and along the way, people passing by would still point fingers at him.

"Yo, isn't this a kid surnamed Gu? Didn't you take the big girl of the Cheng family all day long ago? Why did you come up the mountain alone today. ”

"Who knows, maybe it was the Cheng family who provoked the man of that family and was locked up at home by this kid. ”

"Huzi damn it, don't talk nonsense in this case, be careful that the person surnamed Gu will trouble you for a while. ”

Huzi snorted coldly, and said in the direction of Gu Xingshen: "I, this person with bad ingredients surnamed Gu, does he dare to trouble me? Be careful where I go to the village party secretary, so that he can't eat and walk around." ”

Gu Xingshen ignored the discussion of a group of people at all, and continued to walk towards the mountain.

Cheng Qingxue was still suffering from the wind and cold at home, and his grandfather's body was also very weak, so he couldn't let these people delay time.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, there were only a few figures, Gu Xingshen looked at himself, found a place with more firewood and started to get busy.

It was already late autumn, and the people under the mountain had prepared the firewood for the winter as early as early autumn. So at this time, there is naturally not much firewood on the mountain.

Gu Xingshen worked hard for two or three hours, but he only cut enough firewood for a day.

Seeing that the sky was gradually about to darken, and the few figures who were still there before had already gone down the mountain, Gu Xingshen bundled the chopped firewood together and slowly carried it down the mountain.

Cheng Qingxue was worried about Gu Xingshen's safety at home, and had already stood at the door waiting for Gu Xingshen.

When she saw Gu Xingshen's slow figure walking towards the cowshed, Cheng Qingxue dragged her uncomfortable body and walked quickly in front of Gu Xingshen.

"Come, I'll help you. Cheng Qingxue was about to hold the firewood on Gu Xingshen's shoulder, but Gu Xingshen hurriedly dodged.

"Your body hasn't recovered yet, where can you help me with this, you go back and rest. Gu Xingshen said as he walked towards the cowshed.

After getting along for the past few days, Cheng Qingxue knew that Gu Xingshen was a stubborn person, and at this time, she still had to take care of Gu Xingshen's self-esteem.

The cold and biting cowshed, because of the firewood, suddenly eased.

Gu Xingshen opened the rice bowl and was about to cook, but when he saw the small handful of rice left in the rice bowl, his heart suddenly sank.

During this time, he and Cheng Qingxue earned a lot of work, but after all, there were still one more people in the family, and these jobs were not enough for the life of three people.

Cheng Qingxue, who was burning firewood, looked at Gu Xingshen who was staying in front of the rice tank, and guessed that there must not be many meters in the rice tank.

Since she moved to the cowshed, she hasn't asked about the things at home, because she knows that after all, she and Gu Xingshen are only verbally husband and wife, and there are some things that she naturally can't ask.

But her amount of food, just by virtue of the work she earns every day, is really not enough to support her alone.

It seems that in order to get out of these predicaments, we must find some other ways to make a living. But in this era, what is the way to make a living?

Just having enough food and clothing is already a luxury, although Gu Xingshen cut back a lot of firewood today, it is only enough for one night.

Gu Xingshen boiled all the remaining rice in the rice bowl into the pot, although these rice are not much, but they are enough to cook a big pot of porridge, when the time comes, he will save some food, and let Cheng Qingxue and Grandpa eat more.
