Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 216 The Weak Girl of the Age 23

The person is dead and the matter is forgotten. As for the second aunt who was sold into the mountains, there has been no news about her for so many years. I guess her ending is not going to be good.

After Gu Nuanyi picked the last vegetable, she said, "Thank you grandmas for telling me this."

Grandma Chuntao smiled and said, "Now that you've heard about this, you don't feel itchy anymore, do you?"

"Hehe, it's still Grandma Chuntao who understands me!"

Gu Nuanyi packed up the dishes and was about to get up when she saw Mr. Bai coming back with a bullock cart.

Shen Bowen, who had lost a lot of weight, was lying on the ox cart.

Grandma Chuntao sighed: "How could such a good child grow up crooked..."

Gu Nuanyi was not interested in knowing Shen Bowen's situation, so she went home with her basket.

Just arrived home at the same time as Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru

Gu Jin took the basket from Gu Nuanyi and said, "My dear, are you going to listen to stories again?"

"Yeah! Grandma Chuntao and the others know so much!"

"Be careful not to overheat, and remember to bring a kettle with you."

"It's so cool under the big banyan tree. You won't be exposed to the sun at all. I even brought my water bottle with me. Dad, please don't scold me because you always forget to bring your water bottle."

Gu Jin waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay if you don't drink. It's the same if you drink after work."

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If you don't drink water, your body will be dehydrated. I will bring you water every day in the future!"

"No!" Gu Jin quickly refused. The weather was so hot, and he couldn't bear to let his sweet baby go to the fields to deliver water under the scorching sun.

"Dad, remember to bring a water bottle."

After dinner, Gu Jin sat in the yard doing carpentry work.

"Dad, why do you have so many cabinets? Is anyone going to get married?"

"The team leader said that educated youth will come at the end of the month, so I made some cabinets in advance and will see if anyone comes to replace them when the time comes."

"The end of the month is the busy farming season, so why are you here as an educated youth?"

Gu Jin sighed, "Yeah! I don't know what those city people can do in the brigade. Can they no longer stay in the city?"

Gu Nuanyi nodded in her heart. There were not so many suitable jobs available in the city, so a large number of graduates would be idle at home. Therefore, the leaders decided to send them to various rural areas in the motherland that were in urgent need of development and construction to engage in construction.

In this way, we can not only solve the employment problem, but also bring knowledge to the countryside, inject fresh impetus into the development of the countryside, and let young people create value in the vast land of the motherland.

I don't know what these educated youth who went to the countryside will be like.

Gu Nuanyi looked at Gu Jin who was busy working and said, "Dad, don't just make cabinets. Those wooden basins and barrels should be needed by someone too!"

Gu Jin nodded and said, "We need to make those too. Just make three or four of each. The team leader has also told other people who can do carpentry work. We don't know if those educated youth will come to exchange them."

Gu Jin's carpentry work is one of the best in Xingsan Brigade. The things he made can be used for more than ten years without breaking. It is precisely because the quality is so good that people don't need to replace them often.

Gu Nuanyi watched Gu Jin take the knife and cut a few times, and the desired groove was already formed.

Gu Nuanyi said with great interest: "Dad! Please teach me too!"

"This knife is very sharp. If you don't use your strength correctly, it will cut off a large piece of your flesh. You'd better go knit sweaters and sew soles with your mother!"

"No~no~Dad~~~Just teach me~~~" Gu Nuanyi pestered Gu Jin and acted coquettishly

She won't stop until she achieves her goal. Her voice of coquettishness is almost turning into eighteen bends.

Gu Jin couldn't stand Guaibao's coquetry, so he found the smallest carving knife in the toolbox and casually pulled out a piece of wood: "Since you want to learn, then I will teach you how to use force first!"

Seeing Gu Nuanyi holding the carving knife, Gu Jin felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by someone.

Every time Gu Nuanyi cut his face, his face would move with it.

His hands were still empty, and if Gu Nuanyi didn't use his strength correctly, he would quickly take action.

After practicing for a while, Gu Nuanyi's head was sweating.

Gu Jin quickly put away the carving knife: "Okay, let's stop here for today! Go and have a rest, we'll take our time!"

Gu Nuanyi shook her hands. Her arms felt sore from using the same strength for so long.

Gu Jin put away the carving knife and reminded him worriedly: "In the future, when dad is not at home, you can't play with the knife by yourself! !"

Gu Nuanyi pouted and protested: "Dad! I'm not a child anymore!!!"

"No matter how old you are, you are still a child in the eyes of your parents. Be good! Go and play by yourself!"

Gu Nuanyi stamped her feet: "Mom, look at Dad!!!"

Guo Zhenru looked at Gu Nuanyi lovingly, put away the last thread in her hand, shook the clothes and said, "My dear, come and try this skirt to see if it fits you."

"Mom, I have so many skirts."

"No girl would complain that she has too many clothes. Go and try them on!"

Gu Nuanyi had no choice but to take her clothes back to her room and change into them.

"Dad! Mom! Does it look good?" Gu Nuanyi pinched the hem of her skirt and turned around

Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru both gave thumbs up: "Looks good! The good boy looks good in anything!!!"

Gu Nuanyi looked at her parents' clothes with many patches on them, and then looked down at her new skirt.

My nose feels sore for no reason

She walked up to Guo Zhenru, took her arm, leaned her head on her shoulder and said, "Mom, I also want to make some clothes for you and Dad."

"Your father and I already have clothes to wear, so there's no need to make new clothes. And why would we waste new clothes working in the fields all day?"

"Mom, you've done it for me several times, I want to do it for you too~~~"

"Okay! I happen to have some dark blue cloth at home, so just make it if you want!"

Gu Nuanyi smiled and said that as long as she acted like a spoiled child, there was nothing she couldn't accomplish...

Gu Nuanyi picked up a ruler and measured Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru in a serious manner.

Record the data while measuring

Guo Zhenru joked: "Look at this little tailor of ours, he's really amazing!"

Gu Nuanyi snorted proudly: "Humph~ I am your daughter, of course I am awesome!!!"

Shen family

Shen Pengzu went to great lengths to find a job for Shen Bowen.

He secretly gave Sheng Qizheng a lot of things, and this person agreed to help him find some connections.

Niu Ru felt sorry for the things he had given away: "Bah, he is really a black-hearted person. He only agreed to help me after I gave him so many things!!"

Shen Pengzu said impatiently: "Okay, when you ask someone to do something for you, you have to give them something. This is just the beginning. When the secretary helps us find someone to sell the job, we will have to give more gifts."

Niu Ru immediately covered his chest: "Ouch! My money!!!"

"Money, money, money, you keep talking about it all day long. Will the money give birth to puppies if you keep it at home? If you don't want to spend anything, will the job just fly into your hands?"

“But this is too much...”
