Hearing Tao Sixi's question, Gu Shi turned his head to look outside, and said, "After lunch, we went out together, I was hoeing in the cotton field, he went to the rice field for a turn, and then told me that he had something to do and left first, why, he didn't come back?" ”

Tao Sixi shook his head.

glanced at Gu Beichen, who was burying his head at the table and sorting out the medicinal powder there: "Second Brother Gu, you didn't see Brother Gu come back?" ”

Gu Beichen shook his head and said in a light tone: "Don't worry, my brother must be busy with his own affairs." ”

Gu Shi smiled, and then said to Tao Sixi: "Well, it's almost, Nanxing is an idle character." ”

After cooling off for a while, Gu got up and went out to chop vegetables and feed the chickens.

Tao Sixi and Gu Beichen continued to be busy.

When the sun set, Tao Sixi gently rubbed his arm that was a little sore from pounding the medicine and walked over: "Second Brother Gu, I'm busy here today, I'll come over tomorrow." ”

Gu Beichen nodded, took out a paper bag from the drawer and put it on the table: "Take this belt." ”

"What's this?" Tao Sixi asked, casually opening the paper bag.

At first glance, she thought it was an incense candle, with chopsticks long, thick and thin, gray-brown.

But looking at it again, she denied the speculation of incense candles.

"It's ...... Moxa? She asked in surprise.

Gu Beichen said 'um', "The old wormwood, add some mosquito repellent grass powder to it, point it at the bottom of the table or next to the bed, and it has the purpose of repelling mosquitoes after ignition." ”

"This thing is good!" Tao Sixi's eyes lit up a little.

It just so happens that the side of the house is full of paddy fields, and there must be a lot of mosquitoes after nightfall, not to mention those who sleep with them, and the younger brother still has to write at night.

"Second Brother Gu, when did you make this moxa?" She asked again.

Gu Beichen hooked his lips, "I just did it." ”

Tao Sixi guessed that when she was chatting with Gu, he was sitting there with his head buried and curled and pressed, it turned out that he was doing this.

"These are for me? Do you have a home of your own? She asked again.

Gu Beichen said: "I'll do it later, I made a few moxa sticks in a hurry today, you take it back and use it first, if there is anything wrong, come and tell me tomorrow, I can add and reduce the medicine powder." ”

Since this was the case, Tao Sixi accepted it happily.

Just as he was about to leave the Gu family, Gu Nanxing happened to come back.

Gu Shi, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, was surprised: "Nanxing, are you going to the mountains to cut down trees?" ”

Then, there was the sound of the two of them working together to put the tree on the ground.

Tao Sixi and Gu Beichen also went out of the hall together, and saw Gu Shi picking up the apron around his waist and wiping Gu Nanxing's sweat, and at Gu Nanxing's feet, there was a straight and thick cedar tree.

"Brother Gu, you're back, it's hot to go and cut down trees on this hot day, right?" Tao Sixi asked with a smile.

Seeing Tao Sixi there, Gu Nanxing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grinned: "It's hot outside, it's okay in the mountains, there are many shades, and there is spring water to drink!" ”

Tao Sixi hooked his lips, Brother Gu will always be so hardworking and simple, as Aunt Gu said, he can't be idle.

"Auntie, Brother Gu, Second Brother Gu, then you guys are busy first, I'll go back." Tao Sixi greeted the Gu family again and left.

After Gu Nanxing left, Gu Beichen looked at the cedar tree and boasted: "Brother, this cedar tree is good, it's a pity to use it as firewood, it's very good to use it as a beam." ”

Gu Shi nodded again and again, "Nanxing, it just so happened that the stool in your house was broken, why don't you hit two stools?" ”

Gu Nanxing shook his head without hesitation, "The stool will be hit again, I specially went to the mountains to pick this cedar tree, and I have to give a bath tub to Sister Sixi." ”

"What?" Gu thought he had misheard.

Gu Beichen's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, and he couldn't help but glance at Gu Nanxing more.

Gu Nanxing stood there and said with a frank face: "This mother, you sent me to deliver food to Uncle Wangsheng and them, I took a look at her house by the way, obediently, the house is surrounded by walls, and there is no furniture,"

"Sixi sisters, the three sisters squeezed a bunk, and on this hot day, they didn't even give them two in a big pot of baths!"

Hearing this, Gu's face was also full of surprise, "Oh my God, this old lady is really ......."

Other people's family affairs are not easy to discuss, Gu's gentle gaze fell on Gu Nanxing, and said with a smile: "Cheng, then you can give them a bathtub." ”
