Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 251
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

In the cold wind blowing down from Qilian Mountain, Xu Lingjun woke up from his sleep with some depression.

The four walls, doors and windows of this house are all okay, but the roof is a bit leaky.

Although he is protected by Tai Chi pills, but being exposed to the cold wind is not as comfortable as being warmer.

He got up and got dressed, added a handful of firewood to the kang that was about to go out, then picked up the washing utensils, opened the door and went out.

"Woo~"

A cold wind blew against his face, which lifted his spirits.

He squatted in front of the door, washing up, and planning what to do next.

First of all, he needs to repair the roof briefly, at least not to let it leak again.

In addition, he also needs to go to the nearby forest to get some firewood and thatch for repairing the roof. He cannot buy it directly from the system store, so as not to be seen and suspected by other villagers.

Finally, it was time to expand the house and renovate the yard.

He needs to clean up all the useless sundries and weeds first, then draw out the yard and dig out the foundation of the courtyard wall and house wall.

Then, I went to get some stones to lay the foundation, and got some sticky mud and straw to make adobe to build courtyard walls and house walls.

Moreover, because the adobe is not strong enough, he still needs to go to the brick and tile factory to buy some blue bricks and gray tiles, which are used to build corners, doors, windows, cornices and other important places, as well as to build the roof.

Thinking about it, he wondered if he should just build a brick house?
However, he then thought that he still had the hat of Lao You on his head. If he was too high-profile, he might cause a lot of trouble.

Ah, forget it!

In this case, he might as well not buy bricks and tiles at all, and just build another thatched adobe house to serve as a kitchen and bathroom.

Anyway, for him, as long as the house is clean and comfortable.

After making a decision, he immediately acted.

But before he could do his own business, he had to feed the horses enough hay.

"呲~"

When the big green horse saw Xu Lingjun approaching, he snorted happily, then stretched out his head and rubbed against Xu Lingjun's body.

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed the big green horse's neck, then went to the fodder warehouse, carried a large bundle of pasture and put it into the manger.

The big green horse's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly lowered his head and started eating.

Seeing how delicious it was, Xu Lingjun spent 1 happy coin directly from the system store, bought some big meat buns and fried dough sticks soy milk, sat on the wall of the stable, and ate breakfast leisurely.

Not long after, he stuffed the last bite of fried dough sticks into his mouth, clapped his hands, and went to the yard to get busy.

After he cleaned up all the weeds and debris, the big green horse had also finished eating the forage.

He took the big green horse out, put a saddle on it, and rode it straight to the forest not far behind the village.

At the same time, on a freight train traveling from Sichuan to the Qilian Mountains, Li Xiuzhi, You Liling, and Tian Ge, the three escaped girls, sat together in the corner of an open-air warehouse, with layers of layers on their buttocks. red bricks, with a hot sun overhead.

The wind roared and the train rattled.

You Liling and Tian Ge looked at Li Xiuzhi's red scarf blown by the wind, and let out a coquettish laugh.

Li Xiuzhi opened her eyes tiredly, looking at the unknown distance, her eyes were full of confusion.

A few hours later, they slipped off the train under the cover of the kind conductor when the train was coming in and stopped, and then asked a few kind people outside the train station for directions.

Then, they walked to the Chilechuan Ranch on foot.

Then, a few hours later, they traveled more than 20 kilometers and finally arrived at Fuchang Village in Chilechuan Ranch.

Soon, with the help of a few well-meaning herdsmen, You Liling and Tian Ge left with their relatives, while Li Xiuzhi stood at the entrance of the village and waited for a long time, but she didn't find her cousin.

Just when she was about to enter the village to look for each family, her cousin Wan Gui'e came out of the village in a hurry.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly called out, "Cousin."

"Come with me."

Wan Gui'e looked at Li Xiuzhi with a complicated face, and then pulled Li Xiuzhi to a corner on the side.

Li Xiuzhi looked at Wan Gui'e suspiciously, feeling a vague premonition in her heart.

"Xiuzhi, why are you here?"

Wan Gui'e asked anxiously.

"There's no food at home, and life can't go on. My mother said that you sent a message to say that you have a partner here, so she let me come here."

Li Xiuzhi lowered her head and said sadly.

"Oh! This is troublesome."

Wan Gui'e stamped her feet in embarrassment and said.

"what happened?"

Li Xiuzhi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked.

"That person was killed by a car overturned last month. I had already written a letter asking you not to come again, but I didn't expect you to come here before the letter arrived."

Wan Gui'e glanced at Li Xiuzhi, and said with a very ugly face.

Li Xiuzhi was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head silently, bit her red lips hard, and her eyes were filled with mist.

"Xiuzhi, you...you should go back!"

A trace of unbearableness flashed in Wan Gui'e's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said.

"Cousin, I don't have a chance to survive when I go back now, can you find me another place to eat?"

Li Xiuzhi sniffed, holding back the tears in her eyes, and said expectantly.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that everyone in our team thinks you are unlucky, and no one would dare to take you if you stay here!"

Wan Gui'e lowered her voice and said helplessly.

She didn't expect that as soon as she sent a message for Li Xiuzhi to come over, that person suddenly overturned and was crushed to death.

Now the family blames Li Xiuzhi for the reason, thinking that Li Xiuzhi is a good man, and also blames her for introducing Li Xiuzhi here, making her a human being inside and out.

This time, when she ran out to meet Li Xiuzhi, she didn't dare to let her family know, let alone bring Li Xiuzhi home.

Li Xiuzhi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

In the final analysis, it can only blame her own bad luck.

"There are two dollars here, take it and go back quickly!"

Wan Gui'e hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, took out the money from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Xiuzhi's hand, urging her.

Li Xiuzhi endured the sadness in her heart, pushed the money back, then turned around and walked out of the village.

Wan Gui'e looked at Li Xiuzhi's leaving back, her expression changed, but she still didn't ask to stay.

As Li Xiuzhi walked, her pace became slower and slower, and she felt that the road ahead was dark.

go back?

Where can she go back!
If it weren't for her helplessness, she wouldn't have come all the way here to marry someone she had never met.

How to do?
She walked slowly to a thatched hut by the entrance of the village and sat down, looking at the small cup of rice she brought from home, the tears in her eyes could not be held back any longer.

Not long after, she cried and cried, tired from crying, and unknowingly leaned against the fence of the straw shed and fell asleep.
