Chapter 360: Want to Build a House
Gu Fei turned her head and looked at Dalang, clapped her hands and said, "Brother really looks like a scholar now. It's true that a man needs clothes and a horse needs a saddle."
Dalang was wearing a green robe, with a tall and tall body. It was difficult to find the shadow of the old country man wearing a coarse cloth and a simple face on his body, as if he was full of bookishness.
Gu Qing smiled, took out a silver bracelet from his arms and handed it to Gu Fei, "Brother, I don't have anything good to give you, so just wear this as you like." The money to buy the bracelet came from his father.
Gu Fei put the bracelet on her hand with a smile, and everyone said, "It looks good."
It's so beautiful. Gu Fei is now all white. She stretches out her wrist to catch the snow, and puts on a silver bracelet. The white one against the silver one is indescribably beautiful.
Mrs. Chen looked at it and became sad again, "Today, the whole family is finally back. Speaking of which, our family hasn't had a reunion dinner for a long time."
"Even if Sanlang is not here, alas, I don't know where he is now, and he hasn't come back with a letter."
The border army that Sanlang joined was going to southern Xinjiang. The southern barbarians there would cause trouble every year, and the imperial court had to send heavy troops to suppress it.
Gu Fei thought for a while and calculated the distance. The third brother should still be on the way and not reach southern Xinjiang.
Seeing that Mrs. Chen looked like she was about to cry, Gu Zhang changed the subject and said, "Didn't you say that we have something to do and a hairpin gift? We've all got it together. Let's do it quickly. Once done, we can have a good meal."
Mrs. Chen looked at him angrily and called to Gu Fei, "Sit down and let me comb your hair."
Gu Fei sat down obediently. Chen scattered her hair, combed it with a wooden comb, then pulled her hair up and took out a gold hairpin and inserted it into her head.
Lanzhi and Li Chunhua each held a mirror, one in front and one behind. Gu Fei looked at the shining golden hairpin on her head and said, "Ah, mother is so kind that she was willing to buy me a golden hairpin."
Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "Now that the sales of chili peppers are almost done, and the family is not short of money, it's time to buy you some good things to wear."
She looked at Li Chunhua and Lanzhi, "You all have them. Mom is ready. When there is a happy event at home in a few days, I will wear them for you."
Lanzhi immediately blushed.
Gu Fei joked: "Mom, are you optimistic about your future?"
Mrs. Chen smiled brightly: "Look, the sixth day of next month is an auspicious day."
"When the time comes, let Lanzhi get married from the house in the city, and the sedan will be carried there, and there will be fun and excitement."
If Chen didn't say anything, Gu Fei almost forgot that his family still has a three-story house in the city.
In the past few days, Gu Zhang was busy shopping and doing errands. He couldn't come back in time, so he stayed in the house.
After a unique haircut ceremony, the family sat together and had a lively meal.
Gu Zhang poured a glass of wine, sipped it in small sips, took a few sips and said to Gu Fei, "I have something to discuss with you."
"I was thinking, didn't our family get about two thousand acres of land? There are five hundred acres nearby. I thought, your mother is nagging all day long, saying that she lives alone in this village without even a neighbor to talk to. None, and it’s not an option for your aunt and uncle to always live in Mr. Su’s yard. How about we use a few acres of land to build a house, and everyone can live next door to it, and it will be lively.”
After speaking, Gu Zhang then explained: "Although we take the land, we still have to give them the money they should give. Moreover, we have no control over how big the land each family wants or what kind of house they build. Brothers and sisters, fellow villagers, That’s enough for me.”
