With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain stepmother?

Chapter 22 022. Building a House

Wandering around, she came to a ready-made clothing store. Now that she has money, she can add some clothes to Zhou Zeyun and the children. Their previous clothes at home have been washed until they turned white.

And myself... bowed her head and squeezed her waist.She shouldn't buy it for now. Although this figure has lost a lot of weight, it hasn't reached the state of her previous life, so she is still not satisfied.We'll talk about her clothes later.

Thinking like this, he walked into the tailor shop, and the boss immediately greeted the customers when he saw them.

"Hey, lady, what kind of clothes do you want to choose? Our family can also make it to order~"

She scanned the store and found that it was all fabrics and ready-to-wear, and then asked, "Boss, I want to buy some clothes for my husband and children, do you have any recommendations?"

After hearing this, the boss led her to the men's clothes area, and introduced: "These are men's clothes, you can take a look, what style do you like? There are also children's clothes over there."

The boss pointed, and Gu Xiaoxiao nodded to express his understanding.

She looked at some ready-made clothes that were not too many, including brocade clothes and luxurious clothes, and some simple and coarse linen.

At this time, she thought of Xiao Mu's brocade clothes, Zhou Zeyun must look good in that kind of clothes, and he should have decent clothes when he takes the imperial examination in the future.

She made up her mind and chose a silver and white Yuehua brocade dress with small Su embroidery on it, which added a touch of softness while being elegant.

She was very satisfied with her eyesight, and then chose a piece of Ruyi cloud pattern cloth clothes for each of the four cubs. The background was pure white, and the patterns were outlined with red lines. It was also festive. The four cubs would be very cute wearing them.When she thought of Dabao's black face and such cute clothes, she felt inexplicably funny.

After paying the money, she put the five pieces of clothes into the basket behind her back. Now that she has recovered a lot, she doesn't get tired as easily as before, so the five pieces of clothes don't weigh much for her. I didn't put it in the space, so I just walked back with my back on my back.

It was already dark when we got home, and it was a bit late to come back after being delayed in the town today. As soon as we entered the courtyard, Rhubarb rushed over with a "owoo", and then several children also ran out from the east room, and finally Zhou Zeyun also left Out.

Sibao still shouted "Mother~" with a small milk voice, ran over and hugged Gu Xiaoxiao's leg, and the other three also surrounded her. Zhou Zeyun stepped forward to take her back basket and asked softly: "Today Why are you coming back late? Is the business going well?" The gentle tone was mixed with tension.

Gu Xiaoxiao knew what he was asking, but seeing that the young man was so nervous and cute, she wanted to tease her, so she pretended to be deep and said, "Let's go into the room."

He picked up Sibao and walked into the house.

Gu Xiaoxiao's attitude made Zhou Zeyun even more nervous, as if... the result was not so good...

Dabao, who was at the side, was even more disturbed when he heard this answer. He couldn't pass, right?If so, what else could he do?How can I realize my ambition?He tried so hard... still not working?

The second treasure and the third treasure were not too nervous, probably because they didn't pay much attention to the result, they followed Gu Xiaoxiao and entered the room very easily, while Zhou Zeyun and Dabao were at the end, both absent-minded.

Zhou Zeyun comforted himself in his heart, and found a job if he didn't pass, or else he planned to do so.only……

His eyes fell on Dabao who was walking silently with his head down.It's just that this child pays too much attention to gains and losses, and will be very sad if he fails!
All six of them entered the east room, and there was still warm food on the small dining table. Gu Xiaoxiao could tell that it was warmed up by them, but they hadn't touched it. They must be waiting for her to come back.My heart warmed up.

Turning around again, seeing Zhou Zeyun and Dabao at the back with serious expressions, they laughed secretly in their hearts, it was too inappropriate!Really are!

Then he slowly put the Four Treasures on the ground to stand firm, and said to the people behind him: "Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish."

At the dinner table, the second treasure, the three treasures and the four treasures don't think so much, especially the second treasure, everything has to come after the meal!Therefore, Gu Xiaoxiao's words did not affect their appetite, and the three happily ate delicious meals.

But Dabao was not so relaxed, just sat on the chair without moving his chopsticks, with his head lowered and his momentum depressed.

Zhou Zeyun was also eating, but his heart was a little panicked, but in order not to worry Gu Xiaoxiao and the children, he suppressed the emotions in his heart.

Adults can't directly show bad emotions on their faces like children, otherwise they will be hypocritical!

Gu Xiaoxiao saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, and sighed softly in her heart, if she didn't say anything, the two of them would not be able to eat well!Forget it, stop teasing them!

So he coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Okay, don't be depressed, let me tell you." Then he smiled lightly, "From now on, you all have to learn."

Zhou Zeyun and the children didn't react for a while.What does it mean?Are they passed?

Zhou Zeyun looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, a little puzzled.

I saw Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him, nodded, and said with a smile: "Passed. You are great!"

Zhou Zeyun's heart was full of emotions for a moment, and thousands of words were finally reduced to two words, "Thank you!"

There are no other redundant words, but Gu Xiaoxiao understood the turbulence in his eyes, and she was also infected by his emotions and was very happy.

"What about me? How does Master evaluate me?" Dabao asked hastily.

Gu Xiaoxiao could also see that he was eager like never before and valued this opportunity very much.

She also didn't say the exact words that Professor Xu hurt the child's soul, as long as the result is good, everything else can be learned and improved in the future.So, why bother?The child is still so sensitive.

"You are great too! You are all great! Master likes you very much." She said to the children.

It was rare for Dabao to smile when he heard this, and he was very happy.

"How about it! Let's have a good meal now!" Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at the expressions of the five people and said again.

"Eat! Eat! Eat more too!" Zhou Zeyun replied with a smile.

Because I was too excited, I didn't think about it so much for a while, and forgot about the defense between men and women, I picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Gu Xiaoxiao's bowl.

After reacting, his face blushed again, and he wanted to pinch the piece of meat out, but it would look even weirder, and he was suddenly at a loss.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, a little surprised by Zhou Zeyun's actions, but inexplicably happy in her heart.

She originally came from the end of the world, and naturally there are not so many rules in this world, so she didn't care too much, and just ate the piece of meat that Zhou Zeyun had sandwiched, and continued to eat another mouthful of rice.

Seeing that she didn't dislike her at all, Zhou Zeyun was happy, but blushed even more because of the indirect contact.

Some of the children were immersed in the joy of successfully passing the test, and some were immersed in the delicious food, so they didn't notice Zhou Zeyun's weirdness.

"By the way, have you ever been taught by a teacher before? I think that Professor Xu is very excited. It should be because your writing is very good!" Gu Xiaoxiao asked doubts.

Zhou Zeyun also said in the same way: "No, I don't know why. It seems that I have been able to write since I can remember. When you asked me to write down my opinions, my thoughts flowed like a spring, as if those knowledge were engraved in my mind. Maybe it was in Xiao It seems that brother Xiao has read a lot of writing, so he will be able to."

After he finished speaking, he became slightly contemplative again. During this period of time, it may be due to detoxification. Some fragments of memories that do not belong to him often flashed in his mind intermittently. They were vague, but with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It may be that the body has not recovered yet, and this hallucination came out.He thought about it, but didn't pay much attention.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded without thinking too much about it. With Zhou Zeyun's intelligence, maybe he could really understand it after watching too much, so he silently praised the young man in his heart, and didn't say anything else.

On the second day, Gu Xiaoxiao went directly to the village chief's house after breakfast. He also said that he went to see him at the beginning of the month, and brought a chicken by the way. After all, the village chief had to worry about things afterwards.

I went to the village chief's house and knocked on the door. It was the village chief's daughter-in-law, Chunhua, who opened the door.

"Sister Chunhua, is uncle at home? I have something to do with him."

"Ah, yes... yes, come in."

When Chunhua saw the pheasant in her hand, she couldn't take her eyes off, and immediately invited Gu Xiaoxiao in.

The living conditions of the village head's family are quite good, but they are not the kind that often eat meat. Who doesn't like meat, but most of them are only eaten during the Chinese New Year, even the village head's family is no exception.

Farmers are used to saving food and living frugally, and they are unwilling to spend too much money on meat that can only be eaten for one meal. Although it is delicious, it is not worth it.

Because of this, Gu Xiaoxiao brought the chicken to show her sincerity, and hoped that the village chief would show more concern.

"This is the chicken for you, don't be too polite, take it, it'll be something for the children at noon!" Gu Xiaoxiao handed the chicken to Chunhua.

The village head's family also had two children, Chun Huasheng's two sons. Although the original owner didn't have much contact with them in his memory, they were considered two sensible children.This shows how important education is. I heard that the village head's family has also been educated in his father's generation. For this small village, it can be regarded as a scholarly family.How else can I say that someone can be the village head, so he naturally has the ability to convince people.

Chunhua hesitated for not picking up the chicken.She actually wanted to accept it, but her father-in-law refused to accept gifts. As the head of the village, villagers in the village often came to give gifts over the years, and her father-in-law refused to accept them all.The father-in-law said that he would not accept gifts in private, and that he could only speak fairly and impartially when he had something to do, and the villagers would also be convinced.You can't ruin your family's reputation because of a moment of greed, people are shameful!
Gu Xiaoxiao could have expected her to see her like this, and she would not have dared to accept it without the village chief speaking.

I didn't say anything more, I still carried the chicken and went into the house to find the village chief.

Chunhua naturally followed in.Gu Xiaoxiao also saw the village head who had just finished breakfast and was still sitting at the dining table. The village head's wife was cleaning up the dishes. When Chunhua saw it, she immediately stepped forward to help her mother-in-law clean up.

Only Gu Xiaoxiao and the village head were left at the dinner table.

"Hey, Xiao Gu is here. Have you had breakfast? If you haven't eaten, ask your aunt to bring you some more."

"Uncle, I've eaten at home, so don't bother auntie. I'm here this time because of what I told you before." Gu Xiaoxiao sat on the chair in front of him, put the pheasant on the ground, and said.

The village head thought for a while, "Oh, about buying the mountain! How about it, have you discussed it with Tuesday? Do you still want to buy it?"

She nodded, "Buy!"

In fact, she didn't tell Zhou Zeyun, and she didn't think there was any need to discuss it. It was enough for her to decide what she wanted to do. After all, this was her own independent career.

Let's talk to him after the pharmacy is built.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought about this, and then looked at the village chief to confirm: "Uncle, did you say that the whole mountain is about 500 taels?"

"Yes, the price is supposed to be very low. After all, the whole mountain covers thousands of acres. Or, as Uncle said before, if you buy a small part, you don't need so much money..."

Immediately, Gu Xiaoxiao took out 500 taels of silver notes from his sleeve and put them on the table, "Uncle, this is 500 taels. I want that mountain. I will trouble you to go to the yamen to go through the formalities later. If you have leftover money, treat it as a filial uncle. Tell me after the procedures are completed, and I will pick it up."

"Hey, this is not allowed. These are all my duties as the village head. How can I collect money from your junior and treat your uncle as someone! When the time comes, I will give it to you with the rest of the money. If you send it over, there should be dozens of cash left over, which is enough for your family to eat a few meals!"

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned lightly, pouted her mouth, and said with a grievance: "Uncle, you have to worry more in the future. If you don't accept it, I feel uncomfortable, right. I have other things to ask you Help, I’m too embarrassed to say it when you’re like this!”

"Don't be embarrassed, tell me, what else can I do? If uncle can help, I will definitely help!" The village chief waved his hand.

Gu Xiaoxiao continued to frown and pouted, "That won't work. If you don't accept it, I won't say it. Then I won't dare to come to you to explain my doubts if there is anything in the future! Just accept it, and I won't accept it." The other meaning is to ask for peace of mind."

The village head struggled, and finally nodded in agreement after a while, "Okay, I can't accept it, now you can say what's the matter!"

Gu Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Okay, uncle like this, don't worry about things on the mountain, I want to tear down my thatched hut and build a new one, I want to ask if there is anyone in our village who knows how to build a house and can take the lead Yes, I want to buy materials and build according to my own ideas, if there are capable men who can help, it would be even better, can you see if there are any?"

"You want to build a house? That's right, your house should be repaired, otherwise it will be dangerous in winter! There are people who contribute, but now each family has their own affairs, and they may not be able to help."

"Then I'll pay them, how about Wen per person a day? It's enough to find a dozen people."

"If you pay the wages, there must be someone who is willing, but the Wen is too much, do you have enough on hand?" The village chief asked worriedly.

These twenty renminbi can be counted as a day for a long-term worker outside. In fact, the people in the village who help with the work can just give it a try, and there is no need to give so much.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled, "Don't worry, the money is enough, don't worry about it, it's just who is more suitable as the leader?"

"This... Oh! That old Zhao, her son Qian Bin, I heard that he used to be a craftsman outside and built houses for others. He should be able to do it. This time it is also because he came back for the autumn harvest. By the way, his mother will show him As for the marriage, I have only stayed at home for a few days, so I can call him over, I have met that child, he must be a leader!"

She thought for a while, "Old Zhao? Are you talking about Aunt Zhao? I even asked her to help me make shoes, but I didn't know that her son could build a house!"

"That's right! It's her family. That kid Qian Bin is very smart and serious in his work. It's quite suitable."

"Well, let's find him. You can also help select other people. They must be honest and willing to work. Just don't make trouble. I want to discuss the details with Qian Bin this afternoon, and start construction tomorrow. The sooner the better, you can ?"

"Okay! Let me go and tell Qian Bin to find you in the afternoon."

As soon as the village head made a decision, the matter was settled.Gu Xiaoxiao then took the pheasant on the ground to the table, "This is a reward for this matter, you must accept it!"

"This is inappropriate, Xiao Gu, it's already broken the rules for me to accept money from you, this chicken must never be accepted!" The village chief hastily declined.

Then she frowned again, "Uncle, don't you want to help me? I don't feel safe if I don't accept it. What if there is a mistake in building the house!"

The village head sighed softly, shook his head with a smile, "You child, this little mouth is used to saying, this time to make you feel at ease, I will accept it this time, it's not an example!"

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly.Chunhua had already finished cleaning up for her mother-in-law, silently paying attention to the movement here, should she say that Mrs. Gu really has a way to make her father-in-law let go.

And Gu Xiaoxiao immediately gave Chunhua a look, and gave her the pheasant.

Now because of her father-in-law's signal, Chunhua dared to accept it.There was a burst of excitement in my heart, and I could eat meat at noon!
