Chapter 254: Everyone's Help
Remember [Flag] in a second, popular free reading!
A large basket of vegetables was carried into the kitchen, and then someone brought buckets of well water and began to put the vegetables into a large wooden plate and wash them.
After washing at least three times, the rough hands of several women who were washing vegetables were soaked and turned white.
For the afternoon, everyone was helping out in unison, and no one was lazy.
On the side of the new house, Gu Anning had already led people to paste red couplets at the door and on the door, and the firecrackers he bought were already ready, as long as they waited until tomorrow, they could be burned.
As the owner of the house, pasting these festive couplets was naturally done by Gu Anning alone.
The villagers who had come to help were busy with their work and the children they had brought with them and began to walk around the beautiful new house.
They had lived so long, and they had never seen such a beautiful mansion. Even if I had seen the mansion, it was only four high walls, and I had never had the opportunity to go inside and see it.
Now seeing the structure and decoration of this house, they are all amazed.
At the same time, they are also very envious of this in their hearts, but it is only envy.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The afternoon passed quickly, and Gu Anning also left everyone who came to help to eat.
Now, thanks to everyone's help, most of the things that will be needed tomorrow are ready.
After they finished eating, Gu Anning, who had also been busy all day, reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.
At this moment, there was a soft knock and a weak shout outside the door.
"Sister An Ning, is Sister An Ning here?" There was a hint of timidity in his weak tone.
The person who knocked on the door was Gu Xiaoming, a little boy who sold firewood yesterday.
This morning he went up to the mountains to collect firewood, and after a whole day of non-stop work, he brought six bundles of firewood.
I wanted to carry her every bundle of firewood I fought, but there were too many people here, and Sister An Ning was also very busy, so I didn't want to disturb her, so I waited until all these people left.
Gu Anning, who had just rested for a while, heard someone shouting outside about herself, and the voice was still the boy she met yesterday.
Thinking of this, she knew what was going on.
So she stood up and walked towards the tattered courtyard gate.
Sure enough, outside the gate of the courtyard, Gu Anning saw the boy standing there, and there was a bundle of firewood on the ground beside him.
"Sister, IāI'm here to bring you firewood." Seeing her come out, Gu Xiaoming said a little unconfidently.
Even now, he still can't believe that all this is true, and the beautiful sister in front of him is really willing to buy firewood from him.
Gu Anning showed a gentle smile on her tired face, "Thank you, Xiaoming, I'll take you to set firewood." So saying, she came to the little boy's side, stretched out her hand, and picked up the bundle of firewood on the ground.
The boy saw her carrying the firewood herself, so he wanted to grab it.
"Sister Anning, I'll hold the firewood."
The beautiful sister in front of him not only let him receive the golden seeds, but also helped himself in these aspects, how could he let the beautiful sister hold these dirty firewood.
Gu Anning dodged his outstretched hand and said, "The firewood is not heavy, you rest, I'll come." As he spoke, Gu Anningqiang walked to the firewood room in his new house with firewood.
The little boy who couldn't get the firewood back could only be embarrassed to follow behind the beautiful sister.
After Gu Anning put down the firewood, the little boy lowered his head, his face full of embarrassment.
"Thank you!" After thanking him, a slight flush appeared on his slightly dark face.
Gu Anning clapped her hands, "No." ā
"Sister, sister, I still have five bundles of firewood at home, I'll give it to you. Carry it. The little boy, who didn't know what to say, thought that he still had five bundles of firewood in his house, so he spoke.
Hearing him say that there were still five bundles of firewood that he hadn't carried, Gu Anning didn't want him to carry a little boy who was extremely malnourished, so he said, "You take me, I'll carry it."
When the boy heard her carrying the firewood, he shook his head and waved his hand, showing the nervousness in his heart.
"No, no, Sister An Ning, I'll do it myself." With that, he turned and ran away quickly.
Looking at his back as he hurriedly ran away, Gu Anning shook her head helplessly.
When the boy brought the remaining five bundles of firewood, Gu Anning took him to his dilapidated home. Picking up a large teacup, he poured a cup of osmanthus tea and handed it to him, saying, "Drink a glass of water and rest."
His child, who had small arms and legs due to malnutrition, carried such heavy firewood in a row, and his body was soaked with sweat for his long menstruation, and the sweat-soaked linen cloth was tightly attached to his body, outlining his thin body.
This time, the boy reached out and took the teacup very obediently, and said a little shyly: "Thank you, Sister Anning."
After saying that, she picked up the teacup and began to gulp the osmanthus tea in the teacup.
The fragrance of osmanthus in the tea lingered in his mouth, so that he couldn't help but smash his mouth after drinking it.
"Drink well." Gu Xiaoming couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. The tea in it is not only fragrant, but also a little sweet, and he feels very comfortable after drinking, which makes him like it very much.
Looking at him after drinking, Gu Anning smiled and poured him another glass.
After he reached out and took the teacup, Gu Anning smiled and said, "You wait here first."
With that, she turned and walked out into the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, Gu Anning took a piece of pork belly weighing about half a catty and walked out.
This half-pound of pork belly is leftover today, and it won't be fresh if it is left for tomorrow, so I took it back to the boy to beat his teeth and make up for his body.
When she walked out of the door, she took out thirty-six coins from the space and held them in the palm of her hand, these copper plates were the money for the six bundles of firewood just now.
Back in the hall, the boy looked back when he heard the footsteps, and when he saw that it was Gu Anning, he was a little cramped.
Walking in front of him, Gu Anning reached out and handed the piece of meat in his hand to the little boy.
"Xiaoming, this is for you by your sister, you take it quickly."
The little boy looked at the meat in her hand when he heard this, but shook his head, "Sister, I can't accept it." ā
Although he was very eager for this piece of meat, he didn't help Sister An Ning, and he couldn't accept this piece of meat.
Seeing him shaking his head, Gu Anning couldn't help but stuff the piece of meat tied with hemp rope in his hand in his hand, letting his fingers carry the hemp rope.
