Xu Yuan followed closely behind, also carrying two bundles of bamboo on both sides, and followed behind Gu Qinghan.

"Hey, isn't this Gu a scholar? How come he still has so much strength?"

"The girl Xuyuan is so strong. I wish my daughter could be as strong as Xuyuan."

"Bah, look at what you are saying. When I see Xuyuan like this, I just feel distressed. If there was an adult still alive at home, how could I bear to let her go!"

I had not walked far when I made the wish and heard an old man say this. I felt a little touched, but then I just smiled and passed it off.

Life is all about taking one step at a time.

If you are tired, then stop and take a rest. It’s okay.

"bang"

"Snapped"

The two men threw the bamboo on the ground and started walking up the mountain again. After several trips back and forth, they finally finished transporting all the bamboo.

Uncle Liu had almost finished the kitchen and bathroom, and then Xu Yuan and Gu Qinghan joined in, and the speed gradually increased.

Xu Zhi saw that the time was almost right, so he used the ingredients that his elder sister had prepared at noon and made a simple stewed grass carp and stir-fried bracken with meat.

Although it’s not as delicious as what my sister makes, it’s still edible.

Song Guozi was making a fire nearby, while Xuanyu and Gu Qingming went to the mountainside to pick litchis.

The fragrance is wafting in the air and the atmosphere is bustling with activity, while over there the construction work is also going on in full swing.

Two people were getting the bamboo strips, and two people were building it. They divided the work and cooperated without stopping. By the time the sun set in the west, most of the work had been completed. Seeing that Xu Zhi was almost done with dinner, they invited the three of them to eat and would do the rest tomorrow.

After making a wish, I suddenly looked towards the mountain. It was hard to put into words, but my hands just felt a little itchy.

Gu Qingming and Xuanyue came back with a look of joy and excitement. Their hair was messy and stained with a few broken twigs. Their clothes were wet and dirty. In one hand they held a few bunches of lychees and in the other they held something in their clothes pocket.

You ran so fast, that’s good, you shouldn’t have fallen.

Make a generous wish. If your hands itch, just scratch them. Or just move your lips.

"Sister, second sister, eldest brother, Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Liu, eldest brother Gu, look quickly."

"Brother, Sister Xuyuan, Sister Azhi, Brother Guozi, Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Liu, please look at me."

Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu both held their foreheads with their hands and said with emotion, "Our confused minds suddenly became clearer."

The remaining few people said that it was not clear and transparent, but their ears needed maintenance.

Before the two figures came into view, their voices became louder and louder.

The two larks finally found a partner.

“Hahahaha, this must be delicious.”

"Yes, yes, it must be delicious, brother Ado, believe me!" The two kids jumped closer and closer.

"Hey, sisters, look quickly," Xuanyu poured everything in his pockets onto the bamboo table where no food had been served yet.

"Ding, I found lychee mushrooms, and I'm rewarded with 500 points." This sudden point reward instantly made Xu Yuan's chaotic mind clear.

Oh wow, these two kids are pretty good, they are healthy and have strong voices, not bad, keep up the good work and find good things.

"Not bad, isn't this a mushroom? I remember eating this when I was in the army, but is it still available at this time of year?" Uncle Wang smacked his lips and recalled the delicious taste of that year. He still had a nostalgic feeling when he thought about it.

"This is litchi mushroom. It grows in the deep mountains where litchi trees grow. The temperature must be different. If the mud is still moist, it may grow."

"So it's called Lychee Mushroom, Sister Xuyuan, how come you know everything? Unlike my brother, he knows nothing."

Uh, why does your breath taste like green tea?

"Of course I read it in some miscellaneous book."

"What kind of books are there? Can I borrow them to have a look?" Gu Qinghan responded at the right time.

Xu Yuan almost rolled her eyes uncontrollably. Come on, big brother, you’re just pretending. Haven’t you already dug up most of my secrets? “Hahaha, they’re just some random books. They’re not of good quality. They’ve been rotten by bugs after being stored for too long.”

"Oh, that's such a pity." Gu Qinghan looked regretful and curled his lips slightly.

"Brother, you..."

Seeing his elder brother's lips suddenly curled up, Gu Qingming, who had seen his elder brother's icy face for many years, wanted to tease him, but was suddenly frightened by Gu Qinghan's sidelong glance.

He rolled his eyes left and right and muttered: Humph, why are you so fierce? Go home and tell mom that you bullied me.

The two kids piled all the lychee mushrooms in their pockets on the table. Xu Yuan started to divide the things into several piles and asked Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu to take some back. The two uncles accepted them generously and said they would return them when the time came. Then he let Gu Qingming take everything back by himself.

Gu Qinghan marked out some of them and said, "These can be used as snacks. After all, we are eating here too, so we can eat more."

"Okay, the customer brought his own ingredients and asked for extra food, so there's no reason for me to refuse."

The two dishes that Xu Zhi had made were already out of the pot and were placed in the pot with the lid on. Xu Yuan quickly cleaned the lychee mushrooms and the dishes in the pot were taken out.

I dug a little bit of oil, but I had no choice but to add the oil I fried at noon, so it can still last for a while. When the oil is hot, pour water into it and add a little salt. When the water boils, pour in the lychee mushrooms, cover it with a wooden board, and wait for it to boil.

After a while, the lychee mushroom soup was ready. It smelled delicious and a sweet flavor wafted to everyone's nose.

"Not bad, not bad, this is the taste. I am lucky to be able to eat it again." Uncle Wang smelled the taste in his memory, and his thoughts drifted away and stopped abruptly...

The sky was gradually darkening at this time, but the forest was brightly lit with fire.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, everyone went back to their homes. Xuyuan took a break for a while and started to build the rest of the house. If he was quick, he would be able to build all around tonight. Only the windows, chimney and door were left to be built.

Looking at the mud bricks placed over there, I looked at the horizon. It seemed that it had been more than a month since I came here, and I hadn't seen any rain. However, this place is located deep in the mountains. When I woke up in the morning, the rain cloth on the tripod was wet. The humidity was heavy, and the ground was also wet. It was not good for the body to sleep like this for a long time. I wished to move the bed into the house tonight. After all, there was a roof, and the floor of the house was only slightly raised. The place where the kang was to be made was not covered with bamboo strips, but the rest was covered with bamboo strips, which did not touch the ground. Thick bamboos were used for support, so there would be no risk of breaking.

They did what they said. The three siblings were about to go to bed after packing up and getting ready, but they saw their elder sister starting to dismantle the tripod and move the luggage into the new house.

"Wow, big sister, are you staying in the big house tonight?"

"Yes, the floors are all clean. You can lay the bed boards on top and put a layer of straw mats on top. We will sleep on the floor first. When the kang is built, we will have a bed to sleep on."
