Chapter 137 She didn't care
After Gu Wan called her several times and she ignored her, Gu Wan just followed her and started working quickly.
The two men worked hard and finally turned over two pieces of land.
The remaining half does not need to be moved for the time being. Gu Wan has nothing to plant at the moment. If it is turned over, it will be difficult to deal with after being soaked by rain and exposed to the sun.
The sun had already risen at this time, but because the backyard was a bit shady, it didn't get much sunlight.
Gu Wan shook her hands secretly. She felt a burning pain in the palms of her hands.
But Liu Qingcheng seemed to be fine, with only a little sweat on his forehead.
"If you don't understand, you can ask someone first. It's very tiring to do it on your own."
Gu Wan nodded in agreement. It was indeed true. She could only dig a few hoes in the morning and couldn't do it anymore. Her palms were burning with pain.
Although it still hurts now, but at that time it was so painful that I couldn’t do anything!
"Thank you. I understand."
"What's the big deal? It's nothing." I just helped turn over two plots of land, which took only a little over an hour.
If Gu Wan had been a little slower, she would have finished in less than an hour.
"I haven't hung my clothes yet, so I'll go back first. If you need anything, you can come find me."
"Yeah, I see. Wait for me."
After sending the person there and pouring water for washing hands, he called the person to stop, although Liu Qingcheng was a little confused.
But since it has been delayed for so long, I don’t mind delaying it a little longer.
After washing her hands, she poured the water in the basin to the onions planted outside the kitchen, and then put the basin back to its original place.
At this time, Gu Wan also came out with something. "I went to town the day before yesterday and happened to see the supply and marketing cooperative dealing with a batch of oranges that the cannery didn't want. I bought some extra. I ate them and thought they were pretty good. Can you take them back and try them?"
Fruits are expensive these days, especially uncommon fruits like this. "What are you doing? Take it back."
"Try it now. Don't be polite to me. I wasn't polite to you just now. If you are polite to me now, how can I have the nerve to associate with you in the future?"
Liu Qingcheng paused as he tried to refuse, his face full of embarrassment:
"Well, I'll just take one and try the taste."
All this cost money. She just helped to hoe the land a little bit, and the land was just a tiny bit, so it was not worth giving her such good things.
She reached out and took an orange from the bamboo basket, and pushed the others away with one hand, refusing to take them.
"Didn't you bring me some of grandma's melons before? The flesh of this orange is soft, the peel can stop coughing and reduce phlegm, and the peel can also stop vomiting. Why don't you bring a few more and let the old lady have a taste!"
If Gu Wan asked her to take a few more, she could refuse sternly, but since Gu Wan said so, it was difficult for her to refuse.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took the small basket she handed over:
"Thanks. I'll bring you the basket when the time comes."
When Gu Wan saw her take it, she smiled and naturally would not say no. She had also spent her own money to have the basket made by Wu the bamboo craftsman.
The baskets, winnowing baskets, and backpacks that everyone uses are all very large.
It’s not that big things are bad, but I’m not strong enough. Just holding that thing is already very heavy, and I can’t fit anything else.
So she went to Wu the bamboo craftsman to order a set of smaller tools, and this basket was one of them.
The diameter is only twenty-five or twenty-six inches, which is perfect to hold, light and beautiful.
If it could hold so many things, Fang Ping would have wanted to make one.
"Okay, come and play next time when you're free. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, I'll go play with you, okay?"
Liu Qingcheng thought about it for a while. She and her mother were the only ones at home, so there was nothing to do. "Okay, come find me when the time comes, and I'll take you to catch snails."
"Okay!"
The two smiled at each other. After Gu Wan sent the people to the door, she waited until the people were far away before closing the door of the yard.
It was already past nine o'clock and it was still early to make lunch, so Gu Wan decided to sweep the house and the yard first.
Sprinkle another layer of water. Even if it’s hot, you don’t have to worry about the ground getting wet.
On the contrary, after sprinkling water, the air will not be so dry and will be much more comfortable.
After tidying up the house, Gu Wan always felt that the house was still a little empty. What was missing?
Before she could think it through, the door was knocked again. Gu Wan thought Liu Qingcheng had dropped something, so she hurried to open the door.
It turned out to be the women's director Liu Xie'e. When she opened the door, a kind smile appeared on her round face.
"Is Gu Zhiqing at home?"
"Yes, what is the matter with you, aunt?"
"I mainly came to see you and see if you are used to living here."
As he spoke, seeing Gu Wan made way for him, he walked straight in. He did not look around as soon as he entered the room like Liu Qingcheng did.
She was obviously much calmer.
Although Gu Wan was a little puzzled as to why Liu Xie'e came to her house, she did not think much about it. She welcomed her in warmly and then closed the door of the yard.
"Gu Zhiqing, did you have guests at home just now?"
Gu Wan followed her gaze and saw that she had just washed the teacup and had forgotten about the two chairs in the yard.
"Yes, I am going to turn the soil, but I don't know how to do it, so I asked Comrade Liu Qingcheng to come over and give me some advice."
When Liu Xie'e heard her say this, she nodded.
It can be heard that Gu Wan is a person who is willing to do solid work. She said that Gu Wan is such an honest person, how could that matter have anything to do with her, but the old man insisted that she make a trip.
But now that we are here, we have to complete the task.
The sun was already getting a little hot at this time, so Gu Wan took a stool and invited people to sit in the main room, which was very cool.
After everyone sat down, Gu Wan poured them two more cups of tea and then sat down opposite Liu Xie'e.
"There's nothing much to grow at this time, but you're alone, and if you take good care of it, you can grow anything."
Gu Wan nodded. Indeed, she had nothing to do and the land was small, so she had plenty of time to work on these two plots of land.
There are no entertainment activities here, as if growing vegetables has become a pastime. Speaking of growing vegetables, she glanced around.
Is the house lacking some flowers? As a girl, she likes to keep the house beautiful.
She was absent-mindedly thinking while listening to Liu Xie'e's words, actually waiting for her to tell her the purpose of her visit today.
Seeing that she always avoided the topic, Gu Wan thought about it for a moment and roughly understood why she came here.
After thinking clearly about the reason, Gu Wan felt much more relaxed. Following her words, Liu Xie'e soon asked abruptly:
"By the way, what was Gu Zhiqing doing last night?"
