C17 Amity

Min Jing's two friends from the reservoir, one surnamed Gao and the other surnamed Liang, drove the tractor from the reservoir to deliver the brick and cement here. They unloaded and went to sit at home, drank some water, and rushed back before they even had any food to eat. Gu Min repeatedly urged them to stay, saying, "Your home is busy right now, remember this meal first. When the house is built, come back and have a good meal.

Min Jing considered whether she should build a west house and build a house in the future, which would take her many years to do as much as she could. After discussing it with Gu Min Jing, she decided that the west house should be built and the south house should be built. Gu Min gritted her teeth and borrowed a bit of money from Third Young Madam, then went to Second Uncle Gu's house for an afternoon of grudges. Under Second Aunt Gu's scolding, she took several tens of dollars and left the house. When she got home, Gu Min's expression was already normal.

Min Jing dug out a hole in the brick bed, tried out the place where no smoke leaked, and used lime to wipe the walls of the house. Gu Min brought Min Jie Min and Gu Min Qian in, and they rarely slept here, so he was very eager to get up from his new house now, often staying with Min Jing in her shack over there. Although the shack was made of corn stalks, there was a layer of plastic hanging inside, and Gu Min was afraid that Min would be too young to notice, so she laid a dog skin mattress on the bed inside the shack.

After that, Secretary Pan sent his eldest son and his third son to help him out. After working hard for two days, he managed to get everything ready to go to the new house, and after two days of waiting, the materials were delivered. The Gu family hired an old bricklayer from the village to start building a new house.

Every day at noon, he had to supervise the people who came to help him with a meal. For this meal, Mother Gu could be considered to have emptied her mind: tofu, cabbage, potatoes, radishes, some meat, and a big pot of steamed buns.

On the third day of construction, Grandma Gu arrived.

After Grandma Gu sat down and drank some water, she called over Ming-jie and said, "Ming-jie, borrow a bicycle and go to my house and get me two clean clothes. I want to stay here for a few days to help out, but I've got some dried vegetables in the Western Room's vat, put them in a white cotton bag, you can bring them all over, and then I'll take the hole in your shoe bed and lift the piece of paper from the bottom. Since there's a Western Corner, I'll bring you some for you to take a look at it." "If you let him eat his fill, will he be able to put in the effort to work for your family?"

The last few words were whispered into Minjie's ear. After Minjie heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "Grandma, our family has money. My brother's friends from that year gave us some brick and cement. We saved this money."

Grandma Gu said, "Save the money and you won't build another house in the southern part of the west house. Building a house isn't like going shopping on the streets, you just have to spend a lot of effort doing it. You'll still have to live for a few decades in the future.

Minjie said, "Grandma, I'll call Meiyun to go with us. I'm not at ease with those things I'm carrying with me."

Grandma Gu said, "Alright then. As long as you can trust him. Grandma secretly left him behind."

Upon seeing this, Min Jie scratched her head and said, "Alright, alright, alright. I'll bring you along, but you have to sit on the beam. Don't be afraid."

Gu Min Qian said, "Elder sister, I'm not afraid."

Min Jie picked up Gu Min Qian and said, "If you're not afraid, then let's go." It was getting cold, and Pan Meiyun wasn't helping Aunt Pan with her cotton clothes at home. When she saw the two sisters, she quickly moved to the brick bed, and Minjie told them that she was really busy at home, and wanted to stay here for a few days to help out. When she saw that there weren't many dishes, she wanted to go to her house to dry her vegetables and bring them over.

Aunt Pan knew that Zhao Jia Village was not far south of Zhou Village, so she said: "Alright, then you go with Min Jie and her sister. You two ride bicycles instead."

The two girls agreed before pushing their bicycles out. Gu Min Qian followed behind and waved to Aunt Pan, saying, "Goodbye Auntie!" Aunt Pan was stunned and couldn't help but laugh. This Qianqian was really too polite, even saying goodbye to her.

The crops had been harvested, winter wheat had been planted, and wheat was growing everywhere. Because the land was very flat, several small villages could be seen along the way through some trees that had lost all their leaves.

On the simple road, riding a bicycle was very bumpy. Luckily, Pan Meiyun and Min Jie were both skilled at driving. Gu Min Qian sat on the crossbeam of the bicycle. Her small body leaned on the handlebars and tightly held onto the handlebars, afraid that she would be knocked off the bike.

On the way, Minjie told Pan Meiyun about what Grandma Gu had told her, and when Pan Meiyun heard it, she said enviously, "Minjie, you're so nice, you have such a great plan for your family. On the way, Minjie told Pan Meiyun about what Grandma Gu told her, and when Pan Meiyun heard it, she said enviously," Minjie, you're so nice, you have such a great plan for your family, and you're really unable to compare with your mother.

Minjie said, "Isn't it all the same for the old people? They are very fond of boys. They think that sooner or later, girls will marry and end up in other people's families. Isn't good stuff always eaten by boys?"

Pan Meiyun said: "It has been decades since men and women have been shouting about equality, and they still value their sons and daughters so highly."

Minjie said, "So, this person still needs to learn about culture. Look at those Central South children, most of them are of low education level, we still need to study hard, even if we can't use the knowledge we have now to find a future, at least our brains will be equipped. Sigh, I really hope we can continue to study. I really like the atmosphere in the school."

Pan Meiyun also sighed and said, "Who says we didn't come? Currently, we are all relying on recommendations to attend university. A commune only has a few spots every year, and we don't have much of a relationship with each other. We can only watch as they go to school. What do those people know? Some of them don't even know how to write."

Min Jie was riding her bicycle up a hill. She pedaled hard a few times and said, "Let's not care about the others. We still don't know what will happen after this. We will do our best. If there really is a road for us to climb up, even if we can't, I don't have any complaints."

Pan Meiyun said, "I was thinking the same way. When I went home, I told my father that he was very supportive of reading and studying with you. He said that despite all the ruckus in the school a few years ago, educated people are still respected.

When she got used to it, she could split her attention to listen to the two of them. Along the way, she heard a lot of things from the two girls, Minjie and Pan Meiyun were both around sixteen years old, and this age was the age when they were very curious about the opposite sex. Like Liu Wenlan, Liu Wen Lan was two years older than the two of them, and she was eighteen this year. At that time, he had wanted Pan Meiyun to go to the county high school, first because Minjie couldn't go, and then because the high school at that time didn't have much to learn, two classes in the morning, in the afternoon, it was either a student or a farmer. Pan Meiyun left school a few days after going to school, went to work in the fields, and returned to the village to work in the production team. Gu Minqian felt that the two girls were rather slow in their emotions. Not only were they not interested in the opposite sex, but even the good impression they had of others frightened them greatly.

From their conversation, it could be seen that both of them had very mature thoughts. Their understanding of themselves and their vision for the future, the only person that they did not talk about was whether or not they were interested.

The river was very wide, and on the surface of the river was a very low stone bridge. It was a very wide river, and since it was in the dry season, the river below the bridge was shallow, so they had to go down a slope first, but after they crossed the bridge, they would have to go up another slope. Minjie didn't dare to go down with the two of them on a bicycle, so they stopped the car on the other side of the slope and said, "I can't do it, so we'll push the three cars over there."

When she was carried down by Pan Meiyun, and placed on the ground, Pan Meiyun asked with a smile, "Qianqian, is your butt numb?"

Gu Min's butt and thighs were numb. She shook her head and said, "Sister Meiyun, my butt and butt are not numb. My thighs are numb."

Minjie said, "You are active. Once the event starts, everything will be fine."
