Yang Jie woke up late, and when she woke up, Gu Xi's things were almost moved, and the ox cart had already made two trips to the county.It was only on the second trip that Yang Jie knew what everyone was asking her about.

"Patriotic, what are you doing? Are you moving?" Yang Jie asked.

"Yeah, Patriotic, how are you going to move?" Li Aimin's wife also asked.

"Hey, I moved. I have to go to the hospital for an internship at the beginning of the year, and it's inconvenient to ride a bicycle back and forth every day, so I moved to the county town." Gu Xi said.

"Ah, you bought a house in the county seat?" Li Aimin's daughter-in-law couldn't help being envious.

"No, it's my ex-police friend, who rented his colleague's home." Gu Xi explained to Li Aimin's wife, and then said to Yang Jie, "Sister-in-law, I won't take the dining table or anything, I'll share the bowls at home Half, you can plant the remaining half of my land." Gu Xi said.

"Hey." Before Yang Jie recovered, Gu Xi was about to leave.

When she came to her senses, Gu Xi had already left with Li Chengtu.

When I go to my home in the county seat, the kitchen is fully equipped, including dining tables, stools, and kitchen cabinets.Gu Xi asked Li Chengtu to clean up and wipe everything clean.He went to see the firewood room again. The firewood room is not big. If the bath bucket is put down, the firewood will definitely get wet when taking a shower.So Gu Xi put the firewood outside, and after cleaning the firewood room, only a bath bucket was placed.

Gu Xi was also satisfied with the toilets here, which were more than N times cleaner than the huts in the countryside.The latrine is a squatting position. There are two positions in total. Once you pull the line next to the toilet, things will be washed away.

Gu Xi remembered that the toilets in Gao Liang's community were not so good, and there were still a few households with one toilet.Sure enough, there is also a difference between the Police Workers' College and the Textile Factory Workers' College.

"Aiguo... Li Aiguo..." He was still tidying up, and he didn't even bother to eat lunch when Zhang Jianjun came.Seeing him in the firewood room and also seeing the bath barrel, I couldn't help but ask, "What is this thing for? Why did you put all the firewood outside?"

"It's used for bathing. If you take a bath in the room, the floor will get wet. There are 6 square meters here, which is just right for a bath room." Gu Xi said.Although it is a firewood house, it is also a brick house with black tiles on it, which is the same as the main house.Moreover, there are no windows in this firewood house, so there is no fear of wind leakage and coldness in winter.Gu Xi also wanted to make a washbasin stand, and put it here, and had to go back to the village to find Carpenter Li.

"Ah, how did you grow your brain? You're really smart." Zhang Jianjun said, "When it's cold, I'll come to your house to take a bath."

"Bring your own firewood to burn hot water." Gu Xi said.

"Look at you being stingy, let's go, I invite you to dinner at noon." Zhang Jianjun came to ask Gu Xi to have dinner together.

"No, come to my house tonight, and I'll make some delicious food for you to try."

"Really?" Zhang Jianjun's eyes lit up.

"It can't be fake, you can also call the old lady and the old gentleman. They have grandchildren at home, right?" Gu Xi said.

"Only one grandson, the daughter-in-law is going to remarry." Zhang Jianjun said.

Zhang Jianjun left without eating together at noon.

After Zhang Jianjun left, Gu Xi asked Li Chengtu to clean the house. He went back to Lijia Village to find Carpenter Li, gave him 10 brown sugar steamed buns, and ordered a washbasin stand.

There are three layers of washbasin racks. The upper layer is for washbasins, and the lower two layers can be used for cups for brushing teeth, soap for bathing, and the like.There are also high horizontal bars on the first floor where towels can be hung.

When Gu Xi came back from Lijia Village, he also moved the chicken coop, and put a hen into the chicken coop.The chicken coop was placed next to the bathing room. In order to prevent the chickens from getting wet when it rained, he even covered the chicken coop with wooden boards.

"Dad, I've finished cleaning. Do you think it's clean?" Li Chengtu wiped his sweat while looking at Gu Xi with bright eyes.

"Clean, my son is awesome." Gu Xi gave Li Chengtu a thumbs up.

Invite guests tonight.Gu Xi first went to the department store to buy a coal stove. After spending 10 industrial tickets plus 10 yuan, he bought two coal stoves, one for cooking and one for stewing soup.Then I chatted with Manager Dai for a while, and asked him to come to my house for dinner another day.Back home, Gu Xi started cooking.

First stew pork ribs and potato soup, put black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and wolfberry.

Stir-fried dishes are: 2 bowls of scrambled eggs with cucumber, 2 bowls of bacon and cabbage soup, and 2 bowls of braised radish.

When Zhang Jianjun got off work, he stopped by and called the old lady and the old gentleman.

The old lady and the old gentleman did not refuse, and brought their 9-year-old grandson here. When the 9-year-old boy walked in, his eyes were slightly red.But he didn't cry. He looked around with some nostalgia. This was his former home, but it was familiar and strange.

Seeing the dishes, the old lady and the old gentleman were taken aback. This...is so good.Nowadays, many people eat soy sauce soup, wild vegetables with some shredded pork. People who treat guests like Gu Xi do not even have it during Chinese New Year. This must be a dish only available in state-run restaurants.

Immediately, the two old men felt a little embarrassed.

During the meal, the old lady and the old gentleman also learned more about Gu Xi's situation. When they left, they took away 180 catties of flour, and Zhang Jianjun helped them carry it away.

The floors of the houses in the city are cement floors. Although there are no floor tiles, in the countryside, the floors of the houses are still mud floors. There is no comparison.

Moreover, it is no longer an adobe wall, but a wall painted with cement.

Li Chengtu lay on the bed, looking at the lights in the room, and then at the roof. He liked it here.It's not because this is a county seat, nor is it because there are electric lights here, but because he has moved away from a place with Li Aizhong, so he feels at ease.He was afraid that one day, that man would want him back again.

Li Chengtu, who had relaxed, was stuck in bed the next morning, and he was tired from cleaning yesterday, so he slept until dawn.It was almost eight o'clock when he woke up.Two steamed cabbage rolls and a bowl of egg soup were hot on the iron pan, and there was a note from Gu Xiliu on the dining table.

Gu Xi got up early in the morning, went to Gao's house to handle the transfer of Li Chengtu's account with Gao's mother, and invited them to dinner at home.

In the evening, after Gao Liang got off work, he brought his family here, and couldn't help saying, "This place is really nice, much better than the worker's college of our textile factory. There is also a yard, so you can grow things yourself."

"It's pretty good, and it will be convenient for me to go to work in the hospital when I go to school in the future." Gu Xi said.

Gao Dapeng likes to run around, running from the front yard to the back yard, not letting go of the shower room and the toilet.The evening dishes Gu Xi prepared were equally rich: 1 plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, 1 bowl of egg custard, 2 bowls of sautéed cabbage with bacon, and 2 bowls of scrambled eggs with cucumber.

The Gao family hadn't eaten so well for a long time, especially Gao's father and Gao's mother, it was the first time they ate Gu Xi's cooking, and they kept shouting that the taste was better than the master's in the state-run restaurant.

After Gao's father and Gao's mother left, Li Chengtu cleaned up the dinner table.This is already a habit at home. Li Chengtu basically does the dishes and the less-talking tasks.

The next day, Gu Xi wrote to Fan Xuezhi, telling him about his recent situation.Then he invited Manager Dai's family to dinner. When Manager Dai's family came, they also brought gifts.

On January 60, 1, Gu Xi took Li Chengtu to Hejia Village.He Dalang didn't know about his move. If he didn't inform, He Dalang would probably go to Lijiacun again during the Chinese New Year.

It took Gu Xi an hour to ride a bicycle from the county seat to Hejia Village.

When I arrived at Hejia Village, I saw a skinny child playing on the road.Gu Xi stopped his bicycle and asked, "Kids, do you know where He Dalang's house is?"

Children, you look at me and I look at you, but don't speak.

Gu Xi took out a chestnut: "I will give the chestnut to anyone who tells me where He Dalang's house is."

"Who is He Dalang?" A child asked.

Gu Xi was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the child might not know the adult's name, so he said again: "Then do you know the family of He Da Niu and He Xiaobao?"

"I know."

"I know too."

"And I."

Gu Xi grabbed a handful of chestnuts and gave them to them: "You share among yourself, can you take me to Miss He's house now?"

"Uncle, what are you doing at Da Niu He's house? My grandma said that Niu He's mother is dying soon."

"Well, he's about to die, He Xiaobao doesn't play with us anymore, he stays at home every day."

Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat: "What's going on?"

"I have nothing to eat, I'm going to starve to death." The child said.

"My mother said that there are fewer people working in their family, but more people eating."

After a while, the child brought Gu Xi to He Dalang's house: "He Da Niu, He Xiaobao, there are guests at your house." The children shouted.

The house in front of me was a bit dilapidated, and it couldn't compare to the earthen house that Gu Xi lived in in Lijia Village.But back then when Zhang Ercui's first man was alive, the house was very respectable in Hejia Village.

There was an old lady sitting in front of the house. Her clothes were covered in patches, and there was no good place to find them. Her entire face was sunken and sunken.

This should be He Dalang's grandma.

Sometimes, Gu Xi had to admit that Zhang Ercui was a cruel woman, cruel and selfish.However, she was very clear about what she wanted.

Seeing Gu Xi, Grandma He asked hesitantly, "Who are you?" Her voice was weak.

At this time, a little boy ran out of the room. The little boy was ashamed and dirty.When he saw Gu Xi, his eyes lit up: "Uncle."

"Little Treasure." Gu Xi smiled, and then said to Grandma He, "Grandma, my name is Li Aiguo, and I'm Li Aiguo from Li Family Village. Let me come and see my eldest brother."

"You are...you are Er Cui's son." Grandma He had a good impression of Gu Xi.In the past two years, every time He Dalang left Gu Xi's house, Gu Xi would give him a lot of things, "You have grown up so much."

"Yes, where's the eldest brother?" Gu Xi asked.

"Father went to the ground and hasn't come back yet." He Xiaobao said, "Sit down, uncle, I'll pour you tea."

"Thank you, Xiaobao. Uncle is not thirsty. Come and uncle will give you steamed buns." Gu Xi opened the basket and took out two brown sugar steamed buns from the basket, one for He Xiaobao and one for He Grandma.
