Chapter 7

In fact, among the three houses, the most valuable are the two shelves of books and manuscripts in Gu Xiaoen's study.

She knew that not only Mrs. Gu would be reluctant, but even the uncle of the Gu family was jealous after seeing so many books.

Qi Qi pretended not to know, and calmly ordered the boys to pack and take them away, while muttering something, this was all the thoughts left by the child's father. When the child grows up, he will definitely be as smart and studious as his father , success and fame...

Heh, these are all Gu Xiaoen's things, that is, the big house's things, they should be left to the children, who dares to make a decision, let's see if she doesn't hate him to death.

"Nie Zhan, I'm really mad at the old lady." Mrs. Gu stood at the door of the main room, watching the things being dragged away, her heart ached, and when the last person left the courtyard, the crutch in her hand hit the floor hard, "Xiaoci, hurry up and close the door, a group of robbers, it's unreasonable."

A look of ruthlessness flashed in Gu Xiaoci's eyes, after a few times of thinking, he suddenly had an idea, and whispered a few words in old lady Gu's ear, the anger on her face became less angry, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of malice, "You can handle this matter , find a few more people."

The mother and the son didn't know what bad idea they were planning, Qi Qi couldn't take care of it now, she was looking at the house in front of her and worrying.

Old house, she didn't expect to be so old?
The courtyard was covered with dry grass and thorns, and the side rooms and walls on both sides were completely collapsed because they were built with mud bricks. The roofs of the three main houses were leaking, and at least half of the tiles were missing.

"Can people live here?" Qi Qi looked at the scene in front of him, finding it hard to accept.She had thought that the old lady would not give her good things, but she never thought it would be like this.

Uncle Gu and the others were also quite surprised, and said slightly, "This old house must have been unoccupied for 50 to [-] years. Since our grandfather was admitted as a scholar, our branch gradually rose up, bought land in the west of the village, and rebuilt it. I left the ancestral house, here...unexpectedly, the house was in the hands of Sanfang, and no one came to repair it."

The corners of Qi Qi's lips twitched slightly, what should she do?
"Ouch, little Qiqi, run, run..."

Xiao Dezi's unique baby voice suddenly appeared in his mind. Hearing his anxious tone, Qi Qi inevitably became nervous, and looked around intently, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"There are snakes, there are mice, there is a nest of snakes in the east, and a nest of mice in the west, let's run, I don't want to have a nest with snakes and mice..."

Qi Qi rolled his eyes silently, and secretly said helplessly, "Please, you are a digitalized virtual system with no entity, what are you afraid of? I should be afraid of me, I am about to have a nest of snakes and rats... Bah, bah, bah , I don’t want it either. Quickly help me find out, what other ghosts and ghosts are hiding here?”

"But I'm just afraid." Xiao Dezi muttered.

Qi Qi frowned, really didn't want to live here, no one lived here for 50 to [-] years, no matter how you think about it, it's not safe, there must be a lot of snakes, rats and ants.But if she didn't go in, she was carrying so many things, where else could she go?

"Uncle, how long will it take if I overthrow and rebuild this place?"

"This?" Uncle Gu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, although the third sibling didn't give her any money, but they didn't have the dowry money, so he was willing to rebuild and live better.

"It's the slack season now, I'll call in more people, and it can be completed in half a month." Uncle Gu hesitated a little, "It's just that the adobe bricks here are basically unusable, and a lot of tiles have to be added, really. It would cost a lot to tear it all down and rebuild it, why don't we simply repair it and live in it first?"

"Girl, instead of rebuilding here, it's better to find another place to build a new one. Cough cough, here, I can't live here...cough cough..."

An old voice came from not far away, Qi Qi turned her head and saw a pale old woman in her sixties walking slowly towards her.

"Sixth Aunt, why are you here?" Uncle Gu hurriedly greeted him when he saw the person coming, "Why is he coughing so badly, have you checked with the doctor?"

"It's just an old problem. It's nothing serious." The sixth lady smiled kindly, her silver hair was combed meticulously, and although the clothes were full of patches, they were washed very clean, making people feel very comfortable.

Qi Qi retrieved a few scenes from her memory. After the wedding, Gu Xiaoen brought his original body to visit some old people in the village. She had seen this one before, "Grandma Six, hello."

"Hey, is it Xiao En's family? Are you here?"

"Grandma Six, please call me Xiaoqi. I... have separated the family. My mother-in-law gave the ancestral house at the east end of the village, the five acres of land, the water pool in front of the house, the bamboo forest behind the house, and the mountain in the east of the village to Da. Room, this one just happens to be moving."

Qi Qi generously told all the things he was given. Not all the boys present were brothers from the Gu family. They all showed surprised expressions when they heard it, and some of them had already whispered to each other.

Qi Qi smiled slightly, and regardless of the embarrassment on Uncle Gu's face, she asked the sixth wife about the situation here, "Grandma Six, what do you mean by saying that you can't live here?"

A look of pity flashed across the eyes of the sixth lady, and she turned to look into the distance. There was a big river whose width was hard to predict with the naked eye. , last year it was already flooded to that crooked-neck tree."

Everyone looked at the crooked neck tree, which was at the left rear of the house.

"No way? Has it reached that far?" Uncle Gu obviously didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Well, it's been rising every year, and I don't know when it will be. In the past, the paddy fields near the river were the best fertile fields, but now they are worse than the worst wasteland." Qi Dao, "By the way, Daqing's family has been planting the five acres of land in your family. It was flooded last year and there was no harvest. Not only was the work in vain, but it also lost grain. I heard that his family does not plan to plant it this year." about you……"

She glanced at Qi Qi's stomach, but hesitated to speak.

One after another was all bad news, Qi Qi couldn't complain anymore, so he could only solve the current accommodation problem first, and it's not a problem for a group of people to get stuck here with their things.

"Grandma Liu, can I go to your house to rent for a while? I'll move in after I build a new house here." Qi Qi has been to the sixth wife's house, and knowing her home's situation, she thinks it's quite suitable, but she doesn't know ...

It stands to reason that Qi Qi with hot filial piety on her body is not good for going to other people's houses, let alone borrowing it, but she is a modern soul, and she didn't realize this at all, so she brought it up abruptly.

The sixth lady didn't expect that she would encounter this situation when she was passing by to watch the excitement, but she agreed without thinking too much, "Yes, you don't need to rent, you can stay as long as you want."

Seeing Qi Qi now, she thought of herself in the past, and thought of Gu Xiaoen's kindness in the past, and she didn't care about taboos...

She is willing to give her a hand.

The life of the sixth wife is also full of ups and downs and sadness.

Her husband and Gu Xiaoen's grandfather are cousins, and the relationship between the two families is still within the fifth period.

At that time, the sixth grandfather went to serve in the military, but he never came back. The sixth wife lived with her son. Finally, the son married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a grandson. The son went to serve in the military and never came back...
