When it was another year, everyone started to get busy. Feng Qiyue looked at the silver notes in her hand and could not stop smiling. Gu Qingzhang, who was at the side, had a doting look in his eyes.
That's great, this silver is enough for them to spend for a long time. Turning around, he glanced at Gu Qingzhang, who already had a lot of energy left, and revealed a meaningful smile.
"What are you thinking of now? It seems like you are planning something." Gu Qingzhang couldn't help but ask as he was being stared at.
"I'm thinking that now that we have money, the first step is to revise the house." Although they had made a simple adjustment when they moved here, there was still a leak.
"Then it's time for the furniture to be refurbished, don't you think?" Feng Qingyue turned her head to Gu Qingzhang and still wanted to ask for his opinion.
"Mm, it's your decision." As soon as she finished speaking, she stopped speaking. Feng Qingyue curled her lips. As expected, she was just as boring as she thought.
When Feng Qiyue returned home, she took a rope and measured it against the bed. This was the first time she had seen this house properly. Although it looked dilapidated, it was still very big and there was an abandoned pond in the backyard.
It was said that it was passed down from the older generation, but it was unknown why they didn't renovate and live here.
On the right side of the main courtyard was a study room. However, it was too broken to look at. "Cough, cough."
She took off the loose door in July, and the dust rose up, making her cough.
"What's wrong? "Are you choking? Leave this menial work to me. You just need to be in charge of leading the charge." As he spoke, he took the door from July and placed it on the floor.
July smiled, but didn't refuse. This kind of thing, when it was time to let a man perform, let a man perform.
Half a day had already passed. The two of them were panting heavily as they sat on the chairs. When they looked at the already quite decent looking mansion, they smiled at each other.
"Sis, shatter. Eldest sister, shatter. Quickly, help me catch it." Sister Xu, who was sitting next to him, walked in with a box in her hand.
"I've been listening to all of you fiddling around for the whole morning. There's no smoke coming out of the chimney, so I know that you guys definitely haven't eaten yet. Since sister-in-law has something ready, I'll bring it to you. I hope you don't mind." Madam Xu walked in from next door.
"It's sister-in-law. Come in quickly and take a seat. If there's anything you don't mind, just that it's not done yet. It's sister-in-law who doesn't mind." July happily received the food. It had already been so long, so she didn't feel anything when she was working. Now that she stopped, it wasn't as if she was starving.
"Sister-in-law." Gu Qingzhang also nodded slightly to show his courtesy.
Sigh, sister-in-law won't go in. I thought you guys didn't eat, so I sent it over. I won't disturb you guys from eating.
With that, Madam Xu turned and left. She didn't stay much longer after seeing this, but she had already remembered this favor. In such a remote area, perhaps only Madam Xu and her family could be near him.
When she opened it, there was actually meat. She raised her head and looked at Gu Qingzhang in shock. Didn't they say that all the ancient times were poor? Almost no one could see the minced meat, so why was this Madam Xu so generous?
Seemingly hearing July's thoughts, Gu Qingzhang smiled and said, "This is Sister Xu. Her husband's family is a hunter family, and they live in such a remote place because they are afraid of you."
July nodded her head in understanding. So that was the case, then this meat was nothing surprising. He took out the rest of the dishes. Two dishes and a soup. It could be considered quite sumptuous now. There was also a plate of rice.
July couldn't help but tempt him to have a taste: "En, it's delicious. Brother Siyue, you try it too." Picking up a piece of meat and placing it in his bowl, Gu Qingzhang didn't seem to mind at all as the two of them ate quite deliciously.
"Sister Xu is a good person. When we have time, we must thank her properly." Gu Qingzhang said.
"Yes, yes." Her mouth was stuffed with food. It was simply too delicious. Even the restaurant wasn't as delicious as Sister Xu's food. She would definitely have to consult her in the future.
"You can chat with sister-in-law when you have nothing to do. Sister-in-law actually has quite a lot of twists and turns." Gu Qingzhang said as he took a sip of water.
He slowly said, "In the past, Sister Xu was considered the best in the village, but she ran into a fierce tiger while visiting relatives, and Big Brother Xu saved her, but..."
"But Sister Xu's parents didn't escape, right?" July answered.
"Yes, later on, when my sister-in-law became a loner, her days were not easy. There were always hooligans who harassed her, and she was once again saved by Big Brother Xu."
"Since then, Sister Xu has secretly wished Big Brother Xu. Seeing him as a man, there would always be inconvenience in life, so she helped him wash clothes and cook. Over time, the two of them got together."
"Big Brother Xu and elder sister-in-law Xu have no parents, so Big Brother Xu coming here to find a matchmaker and even bringing the village head here to marry him is also a good story."
July could imagine that in this era, the matchmaker's coal cost two taels of silver. She guessed that Big Brother Xu must not want others to say that his sister-in-law had no coal to go with him, so he brought the matchmaker and the village head to bear witness.
Seeing July's envious eyes, Gu Qingzhang couldn't help but scratch July's nose lightly with his index finger. "We'll be even better."
"Yes, better than them." July revealed lovely tiger teeth, they are also very happy now.
On the second day, he and Gu Qingzhang came to the market early in July and sold the rest of the stock to Manager Wang. Although it was almost autumn now, he could still store potatoes in the cellar for a while as fast as he could during the summer.
The two of them came to a carpenter's shop: "Boss, we came to customize the furniture." Seeing no one, July shouted.
"He's coming." Who was it that would let him have such a good night's sleep so early in the morning?
If she had heard it in July, she would have said, "Where's the early morning?" Even though they had left early, the sun was almost in the middle of the sky, so other shops were already open for business.
Hearing the lazy voice, July couldn't help but have some doubts. If Manager Wang didn't tell her that this was the best carpenter's shop, she would have thought that she went through the wrong door.
Gu Qingzhang gave her a calm look as he felt the warmth from his hands. He lowered his head shyly as his ears turned red.
"I wonder what kind of furniture Guest would like to order? What kind of wood? We can talk about the price later. Here are the commonly used styles. Take a look for yourself."
He scratched his messy hair and yawned. No wonder he couldn't lift it. There were too few people here to buy furniture.
