Chapter 44 Gu Chen returns, the new home is completed
As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, the weather became even colder. After walking two steps outside the house, my body was trembling with coldness. The branches of some evergreen trees in the mountains were bald. I don’t know if the leaves were yellow or were swept down by the strong wind.
Yun Yue walked in a heavy cotton coat, staggered and slowly entered the Nan family's yard. She followed Nan family to do something to get up in the morning, and accompanied Nan family to breakfast before leaving.
When passing by the gate of the ancestral hall, a regular knocking sound suddenly came from outside.
Yun Yue hesitated for a moment and slowly approached, "Who?"
The sound outside the house stopped for a moment, and then the excited voice of the boy came, "Sister Yue'er, it's me, your brother Chen."
Yun Yue's eyes lit up in vain and she was about to open them. Then she realized that her little arms and legs were not even able to reach the door bolt. Through the crack of the door, she saw a faint figure outside. Yun Yue said anxiously: "Brother Chen, wait, I'll let grandpa come and open the door for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Yue had run away. Gu Chen outside the door looked amused and crying. When he heard Yun Yue's crisp voice, he finally let go of his heart.
After a while, the door creaked open, and a little man rushed out suddenly and rushed towards Gu Chen like a cannonball.
Gu Chen did not dodge, but instead picked up the little man, weighed it without any effort, and said with a heartache: "My sister Yue'er has lost a lot of weight, but she needs to make up for it."
Yun Jiuzhong's mouth twitched slightly, looked at Yun Yue, and complained in his heart that this girl had obviously gained a lot since she lived in the ancestral hall, and she was almost raising a pig, so where did she lose weight?
"Come in quickly, it's cold outside." Yun Jiuzhong pointed his body and signaled Gu Chen to enter the door, helping Gu Chen move the things to the lobby of the ancestral hall.
Da Zhuang and Lei Zi followed behind and worked together with Yun Jiuchong.
After the group moved the things, they took a break and drank two sips of water. Yun Jiuchong looked at the pile of prey and asked with wide eyes: "Chenzi, you beat them all?"
Good guy, there are also pheasants and rabbits in the wild boars and wild deer robes. You can tell that these pheasants and rabbits that are mostly half-dried. These things have probably been fighting for a while.
Gu Chen nodded obediently and said calmly: "Those pheasants, rabbits and the wild boar were taken shortly after leaving the treasure pot. Because I had to stay in the mountains for a long time, this thing was simply processed and dried without being released."
Yun Yue went up and looked and asked repeatedly, and said in surprise: "Brother Chen, did you touch the salt and spices on it? This dried meat is so fragrant!"
Gu Chen nodded with a funny look and explained: "I brought some when I came out, and smoked it with the pine wood from the mountains before it was dried, so the fragrance is still there."
Yun Yue stared at these fleshy eyes and wanted to taste these dried wild game immediately.
Gu Chen was helpless and smiled, saying to Yun Jiuchong: "Grandpa Chong, look at the arrangement of these dried wild game. The fresh venison roe deer meat and wild boar meat are also divided. In addition, part of it is even out to nourish the body for Sister Yue'er. She was frightened this time, but she needs to make up for it."
Yun Jiuchong knew that these two children were having a good time, and Gu Chen was not a villager in Taoyuan Village, so he could handle his own things by himself without being pretentious. He took them all, leaving some extra for Yun Yue.
The two children seemed to have endless things to say when they got together, and Yun Yue pestered Gu Chen to visit her new home together.
Yun Jiuchong thought that Gu Chen had always been steady and reliable, so he did not object and followed her.
Along the way, Gu Chen, who was rare to talk, kept chasing Yun Yue and asking about the collapse of the house. After repeatedly confirming that Yun Yue was not affected, he let go of this topic.
The two of them came to Yun Yue's new home. Yun Chutian and others were still working hard. During this period, the house was almost completed with the efforts of everyone. The roof was not yet paved, the windows and door frames had not been installed, and the walls and floors had not been cleaned up. However, Yun Yue was already very satisfied with the speed.
Gu Chen's arrival caused a lot of commotion. Several adults knew that Gu Chen was a good hunter and began to joke with him.
Gu Chen had questions and answers. After everyone knew his "game record", they were all amazed. Needless to say, Yun Kangze and others did not respond. Yun Chutian sighed and said that Gu Chen was amazing.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Gu Chen simply took Yun Yue to Bai's house and turned to help Yun Chutian. Da Zhuang then came to help. Two more experts in work were added, and the speed of building a house was much faster. In just three days, the roofs of all rooms were laid. Yun Chutian breathed a sigh of relief because it seemed that it would rain and snow in the past few days.
He can take the rest of the work in the house alone without any hassle.
Next, Yun Chulan and others went to help build the mountain road, leaving only Yun Chutian and Yun Kangze to clean up the door frames in the house, etc. Fortunately, Gu Chen and Dazhuang came to help every day, and Dazhuang had just built a new house, so he was familiar with these things and was significantly faster to do the work.
On the 18th day of the 11th day of the 12th lunar month, Yun Chutian's house was finally completely completed. It was originally possible to be completed on the 13th day of the 12th lunar month. Because Gu Chen felt that the yard was not cleaned up, he decided with Yun Chutian and others and simply repaired the yard in one go. Although it had started to snow outside, it was all full of light snow, which had no impact on their construction. The group cleaned up the potholes after five days. There were many stone paths in the yard, connecting the doors of each room, and some empty spaces were left on both sides of the path. Yun Yue planned to plant peach trees.
Other places are temporarily covered with gravel to save the mudiness of rain and snow.
On the day the new house was completed, Lei Zi sent a complete set of furniture, including tables, chairs, benches, beds, cabinets, etc.
Yun Chutian and Liu Mingrou were very shocked and refused to accept it. Lei Zi was also stubborn and put down the things and turned his head and left.
The couple had no choice but to come to Gu Chen, but Gu Chen smiled and said, "Aunt, uncle, you also know that we have just moved to a new house, and all the furniture inside is newly made. Reber just made another set of the remaining wood. It's not a big deal. These are what we gave you to warm the pot."
Gu Chen kept talking all his aunts and uncles. It was obvious that they wanted them to accept these things. The two had no choice but to leave the furniture. Now that everything was all, they didn't have to worry about it.
