Chapter 96

Shen Qingli looked at the completed courtyard wall and said with emotion, “I was only out for one day, how come you did so much?”

“I asked everyone to build the courtyard wall first.” Zhou Yubai said, “The main structure of the house will be completed in a few days. We can do whatever you want inside slowly.”

“Okay.” Shen Qingli’s eyes sparkled.

She has so many ideas!

For example, for the walls, she wanted to use latex paint, which was not available at that time.

Before applying latex paint, you have to use cement to smooth the wall. Cement is available, but it is expensive and difficult to buy.

But, her space has everything!

Hey, how can I take things out of the space reasonably?

Shen Qingli frowned and thought.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything inappropriate?” Zhou Yubai asked.

“No, our land is high and the wall is so high, no one can see what’s in our house now.” Shen Qingli smiled and changed the subject.

Zhou Yubai did not expose Shen Qingli’s little thoughts, and the two went home together.

Before the gate was finished, Xiao Hei was lying next to it, acting like a dog guarding a gate.

Shen Qingli rubbed Xiao Hei’s head in a good mood.

“Mom, you’re back.” Niu Niu ran over and threw herself into Shen Qingli’s arms and acted coquettishly.

Gou Wa followed Niu Niu and also looked at Shen Qingli.

“I’m back. What did you do today? Were you good?”

“You’re so good.” Niuniu raised her head proudly, “Dad helped us choose a place to build a rabbit hutch. My brother and I cleaned up the land together today.”

“I also designed a sign. Dad said that we will raise chickens and ducks in the future, and each animal will have its own nest.”

Niu Niu excitedly pulled Shen Qingli and talked lively.

When she had finished speaking, Gou Wa came forward and said, “Niuniu, let mom rest for a while.”

“Yeah, Mom, go and have a rest. After you’ve rested, Niuniu will talk to you later.” Niuniu blinked playfully.

Shen Qingli couldn’t stop smiling. She liked this little girl Niu Niu more and more.

I can find some feeling of being a mother in her.

Gou Wa is a very sensible child. Shen Qingli cannot treat him as a child.

But she will always pamper him.

“Mom, I will separate the medicine in the basket later.” Gou Wa said sensibly again.

Shen Qingli smiled and nodded. This child is not only sensible, but also hardworking and studious.

I don’t know which girl will get the luxury in the future.

Shen Qingli got herself ready and changed her clothes, and Zhou Yubai had already put the food on the table.

Gu Qichuan is not here.

“Where’s Brother Qi Chuan?”

“He said that the educated youths from the educated youths’ camp would come to give him a warm place today, but they won’t come tonight.”

“Oh.” Shen Qingli didn’t say much.

Gu Qichuan is a smart man. He lives alone now. Some people are bound to have some thoughts in their minds. He will definitely know them and be able to avoid them.

So Shen Qingli was not worried.

After dinner.

Gou Wa first put the herbs in order.

Shen Qingli sat on a small stool and taught Gou Wa, who remembered carefully.

Niu Niu was playing nearby while waiting for Gou Wa.

Zhou Yubai was tidying up the yard alone in the backyard.

The four of them are busy, but they live in harmony.

Shen Qingli finished what she needed to say and took out the introductory medical notes she had written for Gou Wa.

“Read it when you have time. If you encounter anything you don’t understand, just ask me.” Shen Qingli handed it over.

Gou Wa looked at it with surprise, wiped his hands on his clothes before taking it, “Thank you, mother. I will finish reading it as soon as possible.”

“Don’t look at it at night. Be careful of your eyes.”

“Um!”

Gou Wa stared at the book with burning eyes, full of anticipation.

Shen Qingli smiled with relief and yawned. She had consumed too much energy today and wanted to sleep again.

“Mom, Niuniu and I are going to my uncle’s place.”

“Okay, let your father take you there, Yubai, Yubai…” Shen Qingli called.

Zhou Yubai heard the voice and walked over quickly.

“What’s wrong?”

“Send Ruirui and Niuniu to Brother Qichuan’s place. There are a lot of people there, so you can take a look as well.” Shen Qingli instructed softly.

Zhou Yubai nodded and took Gou Wa and Niu Niu to Gu Qichuan’s yard. Their two homes were close, so they arrived quickly.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard the lively sounds inside.

Everyone seemed very enthusiastic, and voices of praise and compliments continued to be heard.

Everyone envied Gu Qichuan for being rich. He said he could build two brick houses and he could also get the foundation, which was something they couldn’t even imagine.

It would be so comfortable to live alone in such a big yard.

Think about yourself again.

There is no harm without comparison.

“Uncle.” Niu Niu ran in and Gou Wa followed behind.

Zhou Yubai was sure that Gu Qichuan had seen the child, and he quickly went back to find Shen Qingli.

“Ruirui, take Niuniu to the room first.” Gu Qichuan called.

He simply maintained his relationship with the educated youth at the educated youth point. He was a thorough person, so everyone was fine with it. When everyone said they were coming to celebrate for him, there was no reason for Gu Qichuan to refuse.

As everyone chats, they can’t help but think of the past, and it’s normal to have some emotional ups and downs.

But when Niu Niu and Rui Rui came, Gu Qichuan felt that it was time for them to leave.

“Okay, uncle.” Gou Wa responded, greeted everyone, and took Niu Niu back to the room where they were temporarily staying.

“Gu Zhiqing, do these two children live with you?” Zhang Zhiqing asked curiously.

He knew that the two children were adopted by Shen Qingli’s family, so there was no reason for Shen Qingli’s children to live with Gu Qichuan.

“Well, the house here has been built. Ruirui and Niuniu will live with me for a few days.” Gu Qichuan explained.

The others looked at each other. None of them wanted to go back. The small space at the educated youth site made them uncomfortable.

So no one moved.

Gu Qichuan thought they were about to leave, so he didn’t say anything. For a moment, the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

Cui Jianguo’s voice broke the silence, “That…”
