"When you build a wall, you have to use cement." Zhang Dazhuang laughed enough before he said.

"Uh......"

Gu Nuan sweated a little, she really couldn't figure out about building a house. She thought, the cement houses in her grandfather's mouth are probably a little different from those reinforced concrete houses in later generations, right? She thought for a long time and asked again, "When there is no cement, what kind of bricks are used?" ”

"That's not particular, there are also adobe bricks that don't use bricks. Or mix the walls with straw and mud. However, those costs a lot less, but they are far less sturdy than cement. Zhang Dazhuang said with a smile, "If the house is built, it will take a lifetime or even several lifetimes to live, and naturally the stronger the better." ”

"Oh--"

Gu Nuannuan frowned, and suddenly said, "Isn't it possible to use glutinous rice soup and lime?" Our ancestors have used it for thousands of years, and that one is also very strong, even stronger than using cement. ”

"Glutinous rice with lime? Where did you hear about it, kid? Zhang Dazhuang was a little surprised.

"It seems like it's in the textbook, right? I forgot what book I read it in. Anyway, I know that the ancient city walls were built like this, and they are still very strong after thousands of years. Of course there is no such thing in the textbooks, at least she doesn't have this in the textbooks at this time, but Gu Nuannuan still opened her eyes and said nonsense, anyway, she was right, building a house with glutinous rice soup is a bargain, and it is also the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors for thousands of years, why hasn't my grandfather heard of it? She was a little puzzled.

She blinked: "Grandpa, let's just use that, don't spend money on buying cement." Glutinous rice must be much cheaper than cement, right? ”

“...... But can it really work? This time it was Zhang Dazhuang's turn to widen his eyes and hesitate.

"Really, why don't we try it, let's use them to build a small section of the wall and see how it works. Grandpa, do you think that if it is true, then even the uncle and them will be able to save a lot of money by building a house. Gu Nuannuan spared no effort to encourage and lobby her grandfather. Well, she really thinks this is a good idea, and it can be regarded as saving money for her uncle by the way, she estimates that when she has money, her uncle's house will have to be demolished and rebuilt, so why spend more money?

As for the other two uncles, Gu Nuannuan said that she didn't care, they were willing to follow the trend, and if they didn't want to, they would do whatever they wanted.

"You make me think about it." Zhang Dazhuang was a little moved.

"Okay, then grandpa, you think slowly, I'm going to find my mother." Gu Nuannuan smiled, and ran away as soon as he slipped away. Until he couldn't see her figure, Zhang Dazhuang suddenly shouted, "Hey...... Why did you just run away, I haven't told you where the other house is......"

Gu Nuannuan's speed was very fast, and she naturally knew where her other house in Lihua Village was. It was also a small farm yard, with the door ajar. When the familiar courtyard door came into view, she stood with a complicated expression. It's already a sea of life to come back here, and no one in this life has the right to drive their mother and daughter out of here.

"Hey, you're back, where's your uncle? Why are you standing alone in the doorway? Gu Nuannuan was still in a trance, and suddenly her mother's voice sounded in her ears, Zhang Minzhen poked her head out and looked outside the door, but she didn't find Zhang Weiqiang's voice and shadow and was puzzled, why didn't your uncle leave without screaming?

"Mom, I'm here on my own. I went with my uncle to see the place where the house was built, but I didn't ask my uncle to send me over. Gu Nuannuan smiled back.

"Did your uncle tell you the place, and then you found it yourself?"

"No, I ran for a while before I remembered that I forgot to ask my grandfather and uncle where they were." Gu Nuannuan suddenly remembered that she didn't even seem to ask and ran away, and suddenly secretly stuck out her tongue and could only find an excuse to prevaricate, "But then I asked the people in this village." ”

"Little fool. It's good that you're not too stupid and know how to ask for directions. Zhang Minzhen smiled, pulled Gu Nuannuan in, asked her about her results first, and when she read her report card, the tears of excitement were about to fall, "I was afraid that these messy things would affect you before, but fortunately, you were competitive enough to score eighty or ninety points in the half-term exam, but this time you actually improved." ”

"Hehe, this shows that Mom's decision is the right one. You know that the teacher also praised me fiercely, but Lin Jiayi and Lin Jiabao were unlucky, they only scored more than 60 points, and they fell from excellent to poor students and were severely criticized by Teacher He. Gu Nuannuan gloated.

"What do you care about other people? In the future, as long as they don't provoke you, you don't pay attention to them, just treat them as if they don't exist. Zhang Minzhen frowned when she talked about her ex-husband's illegitimate children.

"Hmm." Gu Nuannuan smiled, she didn't plan to let go of those two people easily, but there was no need to tell her mother about this, just deal with it in private. She followed her mother to the kitchen and listened to her tell her all the way, "When we came here a few days ago, your grandfather looked at two houses and finally decided to push the house over there to be rebuilt, so he repaired it a little first." The house over there is also very fast, it only takes about a month to build and clean up and live in. It was almost August, and you had a month left on your vacation, so we'd set out to explore the road. ”

Gu Nuannuan nodded, listening to her mother continue to speak.

"Although the house over there is a little distance from the village, it is secluded and there are no neighbors, but fortunately, it is not easy for us to attract the attention of others from that side in the future, and we are not afraid of secluded, your grandmother said, in the future, she and your aunt will take turns to come here to help us make steamed buns and sell, your uncle and grandfather will basically come every day, and from time to time they may stay overnight, with them to accompany us in the village, even if there are those bad embryos, they will weigh and weigh, and dare not bully the door casually."

"Mom, in fact, with my strength, we don't have to be afraid that someone will bully us."

"Yes, I will rely on my daughter to protect me in the future." Zhang Minzhen patted the back of Gu Nuannuan's hand and smiled, laughed for a while and said, "A few days ago, my mother was afraid of disturbing your exam, so I didn't tell you, my mother has already discussed it with your grandfather, and we will do business together in the future......."

"Well, you don't have to tell me again, Mom, my uncle has already told me on the way. I know that for this uncle, I have been suspended without pay. Gu Nuannuan interrupted her mother's words, leaned over and looked at her seriously, "Mom, have you ever thought about making our business very big, bigger than the supply and marketing cooperatives, all over the country or even the world?" ”
