Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 76: Digging a Pond in the Backyard

Gu Yan took a look and thought, wow, do you think this is a pond? No, it's a pavilion, a bridge, and a stream. My sister has prepared everything.

This is no small undertaking.

Gu Qingzhi pointed to the left corner. She knew she was being too ambitious. "Brother, we can clean up the pond first and plant some lotus flowers next year."

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. This request was not difficult.

He pointed to the southeast corner of the backyard and said, "Qingqing, let's dig the pond here. It's convenient for water in and out. We should be able to dig a small hole today."

Gu Qingzhi took a look and found that the land was currently vacant and there was nothing planted on it, so there was no need to bother with it, and it was also close to the water source.

The place my brother chose must be right.

Seeing that his sister agreed, Gu Yan hesitated a little, "Qingqing, should we tell Second Aunt about choosing this place?"

After all, digging a pond is a big deal.

Gu Qingzhi thought about it and shook her head. "Brother, no need. Mother told us to choose a place to dig by ourselves."

At that time, Mrs. Gu Wang thought that the two children could not accomplish anything, and they were probably just acting on impulse.

Okay, since that’s the case, let’s start digging.

Gu Yan first drew the area of ​​the pond with branches, as his sister requested that it be bigger.

He planned to start digging from the area near the water inlet, and the water for the pond could be drawn from spring water on the mountain.

Gu Yan gave Gu Qingzhi a shovel, and he took a hoe. He turned the soil over in front, and Gu Qingzhi shoveled the soil to the side with the shovel. The two began to dig enthusiastically, and gradually, a mound of soil formed around them.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Gu Wang came out and found that there was no one in the yard. She thought that the two men must have gone to the backyard to feed the donkey.

The children liked it, so she didn't pay much attention to it and went back to the house to do her embroidery.

I never expected that these two kids would actually do something so big!

The brother and sister waited until the moon was at its zenith before dragging their tired bodies back to the house to wash up.

After returning to the courtyard, Gu Qingzhi remembered the matter of clothes. She stopped and said, "Brother, mother made two sets of clothes for you. Try them on later. If there is anything that doesn't fit, change it."

Facing Gu Yan's half-smiley gaze, she suddenly remembered her previous ambition to make clothes for him, "When I have time, I will definitely make a set of clothes for my brother."

Gu Yan couldn't help but let out a short laugh. If his hands weren't dirty, he would definitely touch his sister's little head. How could she be so cute?

Thinking about going up the mountain tomorrow, Gu Yan said, "By the way, Qingqing, you don't need to pick so many fruits tomorrow. I can go up the mountain alone."

Qingqing has been running around with him these days and has lost a lot of weight visibly. In fact, my sister doesn't need to work so hard.

Gu Qingzhi shook her head and insisted on going up the mountain. "No, brother, I plan to go up the mountain to pick more wild chrysanthemums tomorrow."

Today she picked wild chrysanthemums on Xizi Mountain. After picking the flower buds, she put them in a large iron pot and steamed them on a steaming rack. After steaming, her mother also helped to spread them in a basket.

The purpose of steaming on the steaming rack is to kill the small insects and eggs in the flower buds so that they can be preserved for a longer time. After steaming, place them in a sunny and ventilated place for three or four days and then they can be dried.

Therefore, tomorrow she will go to Dongfeng Mountain to see if there are any high-quality wild chrysanthemums there. If there are, she will pick more and bring them back, store more and then take them to the clinic to sell.

She was confident that the clinic would accept her.

Seeing that she insisted, Gu Yan didn't say anything more, but only asked with concern, "Should we carry the water to your room later or will you go directly to the bathroom to wash?"

Gu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "The bathroom. It's too troublesome to move it back and forth."

The two had been digging the pond for the entire night and were so tired that they almost fell asleep.

"Well, then go back and get your clothes, and I'll prepare some hot water for you."

Gu Qingzhi nodded, turned and walked into the house, and the two of them went their separate ways.

Gu Yan helped Gu Qingzhi get some hot water, then picked up the bucket and rinsed herself in the yard.

He was used to taking cold showers.

When passing by the front hall, he suddenly remembered what Qingqing said, that Second Aunt had made him new clothes.

Sure enough, he saw two sets of clothes placed on the chest of drawers.

He took it back into the house.

There were two sets of clothes, one dark blue and one gray, both with shorts and long pants, suitable for work.

Gu Yan's eyes were deep as he stared at the new clothes for a long time, twisting the material of the clothes with his hands. He remembered it very clearly as he bought it last time he and Qingqing went to the fabric shop together.

Now, both pieces of fabric have been made into new clothes for him.

He hasn't had new clothes in years.

It only took two or three short years for him to fall from being a favored child of heaven to being in the dust.

After a long moment, he sighed softly, and decided to do as Gu Qingzhi had said and try on the clothes first to see if they fit.

The next day was a brand new day.

When Gu Yan came out wearing new clothes, Gu Qingzhi's eyes lit up.

My brother looks a lot more energetic like this.

As expected, people depend on their clothes.

Gu Yan felt a little embarrassed when Gu Qingzhi stared at him with burning eyes. He pulled at the corner of his clothes and said, "I have to go deliver goods soon. I can't wear too shabby clothes all the time."

Before, there was no other way.

Gu Qingzhi pursed her lips, but her eyes were full of smiles. She nodded and said, "Okay, whatever you say goes."

After preparing the small cloth bag, she happily followed Gu Yan up the mountain.

Gu Yan didn’t understand why his silly sister always liked going up the mountain so much. Isn’t climbing a mountain tiring?

Gu Qingzhi would never tell him that the mountain was a huge treasure trove for her, and there would always be some unexpected surprises.

As long as she thought of this, she felt full of energy.

Now she saw a large field of wild chrysanthemums.

She couldn't move at once and said, "Brother," Gu Qingzhi raised her hand and pointed at the wild chrysanthemum field, "I'll pick wild chrysanthemums here."

This was exactly why she came up the mountain.

Gu Yan glanced at the wild chrysanthemum field and silently estimated the distance between it and the persimmon forest. "Okay, if you have any problem, just shout for brother."

He sent the people directly to the wild chrysanthemum field and inspected it on the spot. Only when he found no danger did he leave and head to the persimmon forest.

Gu Qingzhi first walked around the wild chrysanthemum field and carefully checked the quality of the wild chrysanthemums.

Compared with the wild chrysanthemums on the Xizi Mountain, the quality here has obviously declined, and some of them have already bloomed, which makes Gu Qingzhi's picking work more difficult.

When drying wild chrysanthemums, it is best to choose those flowers that have not fully opened, preferably those that are about to open.

She put down the basket on her shoulder, picked up the scissors, walked to the largest patch of wild chrysanthemums, and started picking.
