Traveling through ancient times

After dinner, Gu Wenzhi and Luo Feimo straightened out the bricks that had been used to pad the bed.

The old bed board was taken down and the new one was laid in. The thatched house was not big, only 15 square meters.

A 1.5-meter-wide bed was placed in the corner, and the decent furniture had been sold by the original owner!

It was too late that day and there was no practical furniture, so they just put a few stools in the two rooms!

Gu Dalian put a thin mattress underneath and then a thick mattress on top, which was soft and fuzzy.

After putting two pillows in place, and then two Peppa Pig pillows, Gu Xiaolian excitedly held them in her arms and was overjoyed!

My second brother had also spread a thick mattress and got a new quilt with a duvet cover. It had a fresh scent of lavender laundry detergent!

Luo Feimo controlled the envy in his eyes, packed up everything, and decided not to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and prepared to leave!

"Hey, Luo Feimo, where do you live?"

After being busy for the whole afternoon, Gu Dalian just remembered Luo Feimo's accommodation problem!

"You guys are next door!" Luo Feimo was a little excited. This heartless girl finally remembered to ask him!

"Oh! - Ah...the next door you are talking about is the one to the east of us?" Gu Dalian just reacted!

Gu Wenzhi rolled his eyes at Luo Feimo and said, "Who else could it be? There are only these two families around here!"

Luo Feimo smiled and said as he walked, "See you tomorrow!" Then he walked out of the door with brisk steps!

Today the moon is bright and the wind is clear. The stars in the sky are in a good mood, blinking their eyes and looking at everything in the world!

Gu Wenzhi closed the wooden door, walked around again, and saw that there was no problem. He closed the kitchen tightly and then returned to the sisters' room!

Sitting on a stool, he said seriously: "Uncle Lizheng asked us to carry a lot of wood. I will ask who can do carpentry work tomorrow? We will make some simple furniture!"

Although it was a thatched hut, since she had moved in, Gu Dalian didn't want to put herself in a difficult position.

According to her inner thoughts, after some time, she would tear down the thatched hut and build a large house with blue bricks and tiles!

But she didn't understand the laws of the Darong Kingdom. She had set up a new household, and the house she built herself wouldn't be given to the Gu family at a lower price, right?

It’s better to take it slow for now. If you act too conspicuously, you’ll easily be isolated!

It was a very tiring day and she was too lazy to boil water. Gu Dalian directly took out the bathtub from the space, boiled hot water in the space, urged Gu Xiaolian to soak in the basin, took out the bath towel, and took a good bath.

He washed his hair with the shampoo in the space, took out two dry towels to dry it, then took out a wooden comb and gave it to the smiling Gu Xiaolian, letting her put on her pajamas and comb her hair slowly!

I knocked on my second brother's door and gestured for him to pour out the bath water and bring it into his room.

He followed the same procedure and added hot water, put down the bath towel and the two men's pajamas, took out the shampoo and soap, explained how to use them, put the clothes to be worn tomorrow on the stool, and asked his second brother to help little Gu Lun take a bath, then he returned to his own room!

Gu Xiaolian couldn't sleep, so she lay in the soft quilt. She smelled the fragrant quilt and her own hair which smelled of flowers. Her eyes were full of tiny sparks of light!

"Sister, I'm so happy! Am I dreaming?" He rolled around in the bed, put the pillow against his face and said:

"In my dream, there was a soft mattress, a fragrant quilt, and fragrant hair washing stuff. I felt like my whole body was fragrant!"

"Oh, I feel so happy!"

Gu Dalian looked at her sister with a smile, stroked her fluffy and soft hair and said:

"Silly girl, this is just the beginning. In the future, I will make you happier! You've been tired all day, close your eyes and go to sleep!"

The little girl didn’t have that many thoughts. After being excited for a while, she fell asleep!

Gu Dalian sighed softly: The little girl who used to hunch over, have fear in her eyes, and speak in a soft voice has completely changed.

This lively and cheerful look now is what an eight-year-old girl should be like!

Gu Dalian went into her own space, took a hot bath, changed into pajamas, and spent some time with her pets!

Suddenly I thought of the three raccoon dogs. Originally, I wanted to sell their fur. Now that things have settled down, I will go out and ask tomorrow where I can sell the herbs. I will talk about the fur later!

After a good night's sleep, when the sun rose, the two sisters were still asleep!

"Is anyone there? Miss Dalian, please open the door!"

Gu Dalian was startled and quickly jumped from the space to the bed. Gu Xiaolian also woke up at this time. The two sisters quickly changed their clothes and ran out.

The second brother was not at home. Little Gu Lun had just finished dressing and came out. Gu Dalian opened the door and before she could say anything, she heard Widow Sun say in a careless manner:

"Miss Dalian, you just got up. I see that you have just settled down and you may not have much food, so I brought you some cabbage and a bunch of green onions. We are not rich in this mountain village, so please don't despise us!"

Widow Sun's clothes were clean, but they were patched up, and it was obvious that her family was not well off!

Gu Dalian quickly took it over. Since she was going to live here, she had to integrate into the place and build good relationships with the people. It was obvious at first glance that Widow Sun was a kind-hearted person!

"Beautiful aunt, you are really a timely relief. I was just wondering where to buy some food at home!" Gu Dalian smiled and pulled Widow Sun into the yard!

When she went out, Gu Dalian had already put the bedding and pillows on the bed into the space, even the stool and the small square table had been put away, leaving only the thin bedding folded up and placed aside!

The two entered the room. Widow Sun saw that the room was empty and there was no furniture. She sat down on the bed and said,

"Hey, look at this room, there's nothing in it. I see there's a pile of boards in your yard, so why not ask Carpenter Li from our village to make some furniture for you!

"The work he does is solid. Although it's not as good-looking as the ones in the county, it's very practical!"

Then he gestured, "It doesn't cost much to hire him! People in our village are poor and can't afford the furniture in the county town, so we ask Carpenter Li to make it!"

When Gu Dalian heard this, she was so sleepy that she gave him a pillow. She quickly said with a smile: "Oh, pretty aunt, then take me there later. I want to see what he can do."

When Widow Sun heard this, she slapped her thigh happily and said, "Let's go now. He's usually at home at this time. If we go too late, he might be in the fields!"

"Well, let's go now!"

Gu Dalian asked her sister to cook and look after the house, leaving little Gu Lun at home, and she followed Widow Sun out!

The two of them ran eastward in a hurry. They walked a few steps forward to the opposite side of the threshing ground and came to a yard surrounded by a half-man-high wooden fence. Before they got there, Widow Sun's voice rang out:

"Li Laoshi, come to life!"

Then I saw a man standing up in the yard. He looked to be in his forties, with a square face, thick lips, and a dark complexion. He looked like a very honest man!

Li Laoshi walked to the gate, opened it, and let the two in: "Widow Sun, what kind of work do you want to do?"

Widow Sun said with a smile: "This little girl settled in our village yesterday. Her family is short of furniture, so she wanted to come and take a look!"

Widow Sun was a big and strong woman, about 1.7 meters tall. She looked a bit oppressive standing opposite Carpenter Li.

Carpenter Li silently took two steps back, turned around and walked towards the side room, opened the door, and motioned for the two to go in and take a look!

Widow Sun didn't hesitate to walk into the house, holding Gu Dalian's hand!

There are quite a few pieces of furniture in this room, but they are all simple and practical, with a few hangers! The most common are wardrobes, which are simple wooden boxes, both large and small, that can hold clothes and bedding!

Then there was the dining table and small stools. Gu Dalian thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, is there a cupboard?"
