Chapter 48
Xiao Wan'er was frightened by the excited Mr. Chen just now. At this time, she made a scene and fell asleep in Mr. Jiang's arms.
In order not to wake up Xiao Wan'er, Su Wan whispered to Jiang: "Third sister-in-law, please take Xiao Wan'er back to the room to rest. Leave it to me to treat Xiao Wan'er. I will find a way.
."
After Jiang took Xiao Wan'er back to the room, Gu Zian quickly ran over and took Su Wan's hand, "Fourth Aunt, come with me quickly, I left something delicious for you."
Su Wan followed Gu Zian into the house cooperatively. Gu Zian climbed on the bench and opened the cabinet. He took out a small wooden bowl from the cabinet and handed it to Su Wan like a treasure, "Fourth Aunt, this is my mother.
I gave some to my elder sister and younger sister, and I kept the rest for you to eat!"
Su Wan looked at the thickly sliced wild boar meat in the small wooden bowl. Although she didn't like eating pork, the little guy's kindness warmed her heart. She took the smallest piece of meat from his small wooden bowl.
After eating, he rubbed Gu Zian's little head and said quietly to Gu Zian: "Actually, your mother also gave Fourth Aunt a large piece of meat last night.
The fourth aunt is a little tired of eating it, so you can take the rest and eat it with your elder sister and younger sisters!"
Gu Zian's face was like a tabby cat, but his small eyes looked at Su Wan with sparkling eyes, "Fourth Aunt, are you really tired of eating?"
"Really!" Su Wan looked at him, nodded seriously and replied.
Gu Zian took a sip of saliva and ran out holding the small wooden bowl, "Then I'll take it and share it with my sister and sister!"

Yesterday, Li Zheng called a meeting with the villagers and told everyone about Gu Yuan's plan to build a water tanker and repair canals.
Everyone is worried about the fact that after it rained that night, the sun is blazing every day. If it continues like this, the corn that was planted with great difficulty in hoping for God's mercy may not grow.
bud.
Not only will there be no harvest, but the seeds and labor will be wasted.
So when Li Zheng suggested that Gu Yuan could build a water truck to bring water up from the river and then dig canals to divert it to the fields to water the crops, no one in the whole village except Widow Yang and her son objected.
However, it was useless for them to object, as everyone else in the village started working vigorously.
Gu Yuan was not at home today. The three cows of the Gu family transported all the parts of the waterwheel that Gu Yuan had planed at home to the river.
So, after Gu Yuan came back, he didn't stay at home for a long time before he went out to the river again. The villagers were digging canals. With the help of his three brothers, he started to assemble the dug parts into a water wheel.
.
Su Wan was not idle at home. She put a simple still on the stove and asked Xiao Yu to help light the fire. She planned to distill all the remaining wine.
The fragrance of bamboo in the previously distilled wine was a bit weak. She distilled the remaining wine earlier and poured it into bamboo joints to keep it for a period of time, so that the wine could absorb a stronger bamboo aroma.
It's a pity that the batch of wine distilled previously has to be sent to Xinghualou tomorrow, and it's too late to process it again.
After Mrs. Jiang put Xiao Wan'er to sleep, she came out and saw Su Wan distilling wine again. She also looked at the firewood at home and saw that there was not much firewood at home. Without saying anything, she went up the mountain to chop firewood with a basket on her back.
The work of distilling liquor is a slow job, and there is no rush. Su Wan did not plan to steam it all in the middle of the afternoon.
