Chapter 77

Small courtyard.

Gu Qichuan and Zhou Yubai continued to clean up, and Gou Wa went over to help.

Niu Niu has become accustomed to taking a nap and is already sleepy after eating.

Shen Qingli couldn’t help but raise the corners of her lips as she looked at Niu Niu’s swaying little figure.

The one-acre residential land in the backyard belongs to his family. There is a peach tree that looks quite old.

Shen Qingli found some straw, spread the quilt and mattress she brought with her on the bed, and made a simple bed under the peach tree. She called Xiao Hei and Da Huang to look after Niu Niu, and she patted her gently twice, and Niu Niu fell asleep.

Shen Qingli raised the corners of her lips. Children are so easy to coax.

She covered Niu Niu’s belly and got up to see if there was anything she could do to help.

As a result, there was a lot of smoke in front, and when Zhou Yubai saw her, he waved his hand to stop her from coming over.

Shen Qingli: Okay, she has to be obedient.

Shen Qingli simply found a hoe and prepared to tidy up the backyard, and also look after Niu Niu at the same time.

She is so smart.

Shen Qingli was humming a little tune and seemed to be in a good mood. Suddenly, she saw a furtive figure looking towards her.

Xiao Hei took a look and didn’t move.

Just as Dahuang was about to move, Xiaohei called out in a low voice, meaning, “We know each other, don’t worry.”

Dahuang immediately lay down again.

Shen Qingli quickly saw who was coming. She walked over and asked, “Uncle Zhuang, what are you doing?”

Zhuang Mu was startled, “Ali, you are so elusive.”

Shen Qingli smiled and said, “I don’t have a place to sit here for now, so I can only stand and chat with Uncle Zhuang.”

“No need to chat, I just came to check on you guys. Your uncle Qin and I didn’t sleep well the whole night knowing that your house was on fire. I finally got some time to come and check on you. I’m glad you’re okay.” Zhuang Mu was finally relieved.

“I’m sorry to have worried you and Uncle Qin. We are fine. Although the house was burned, the loss is not serious.” Shen Qingli said easily.

“No matter what caused the fire this time, you must be more careful next time.” Zhuang Mu whispered, then took out a cloth bag and stuffed it into Shen Qingli’s hand, “Take this.”

“What is this?” Shen Qingli could feel the weight in her hand and was about to look at it, but was stopped by Zhuang Mu.

“I’m leaving first. You can watch me after I’m far away.” Zhuang Mu said and turned around and walked away quickly.

Shen Qingli blinked. Uncle Zhuang was quite mysterious.

After waiting for a while and making sure that there was no one in sight, Shen Qingli opened the cloth bag. When she saw the things inside, she was stunned!

They turned out to be two small yellow croakers!

There was also a letter inside.

Shen Qingli looked back and made sure that there was no one around. She quickly put the little yellow croaker into the space, opened the letter and started reading.

The words on the letter were powerful.

The content is:

Ali, this is what we give you. You can use it to buy things, buy a house, or change jobs. Don’t worry about us, we have more.

No signature.

The content inside does not indicate who wrote it.

Zhuang Mu and Qin Zhi were really careful, fearing that they would bring trouble to Shen Qingli.

A deep warmth rose in Shen Qingli’s heart.

She just showed a little kindness, and they responded in this way. She felt unworthy.

But if we send it back, given the personalities of these two old folks, they will definitely not want it, so there will be another round of arguing.

Shen Qingli hated quarreling the most, so she just took care of their meals, clothes and quilts!

It’s decided.

Shen Qingli made up her mind and stopped worrying about it. She threw the letter paper into the space and continued to weed and tidy up the backyard with a hoe.

Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan cleaned up the burnt ruins, and now the view is extremely clear at a glance.

“Qingli, stop it. I’ll do it later. You take a rest.” Zhou Yubai took Shen Qingli’s hand and led her to the shade.

Gu Qichuan squatted there drinking water, his posture still looking dignified.

“Don’t do it, or you’ll get sick from exhaustion.”

Shen Qingli pouted. She was fine now. Although she cried a lot and got tired easily, she no longer had any old illnesses!

“Let’s cut some bamboo and make two simple beds and build two simple sheds. We’ll stay here at night.” Shen Qingli said.

“Okay, it’s very quick to weave furniture out of bamboo. I’ve helped my fellow villagers do it before when I was on a mission.” Gu Qichuan thought of the past and the smile on his face became even more intense.

“That’s great, Mr. Gu.” Shen Qingli joked.

Gu Qichuan laughed out loud. Only when he was with Shen Qingli did he feel truly relaxed.

“Zhou Yubai, let’s go.” Gu Qichuan stood up.

Zhou Yubai followed.

“Rui Rui, don’t go. Let’s cut bamboo so we don’t hurt you again.”

“Okay Dad, I’ll go tidy up the backyard.” said Gou Wa.

He looked at Shen Qingli and then at the ground, as if to say: Mom, I’m not saying this, but you really can’t do as good a job as I do.

Shen Qingli: Pretend I wasn’t here recently.

Gou Wa tidied up the backyard neatly.

Not long after, Niu Niu woke up. She was still a little dazed, but when she saw Shen Qingli and Gou Wa, she grinned, looking silly but also cute.

The rabbits raised by Niu Niu were not burned to death, but the basket fell over and the little rabbits ran away.

Niu Niu was sad for quite a while.

“Mom, brother, Niu Niu, come and help.” Niu Niu climbed up staggeringly.

“Niuniu, we don’t need you. Take Xiao Hei to play for a while.” Shen Qingli said with a smile. How come her children are so sensible and capable? They make her laugh even in her dreams!

“Then Xiao Hei and I will go to the foot of the mountain to look at the wild vegetables.” Niu Niu said. She is now a very capable Niu Niu!

Carrying a small basket on his back, he looks very serious.

“Ruirui, you should stay with your sister. Leave this to mother.” Shen Qingli was worried about Niuniu and Xiaohei going out alone. The kids were too young and she wouldn’t be able to react if anything happened.

“Okay, Mom.” Gou Wa responded. He was also worried about his sister being alone, so they would be safe if they took Xiao Hei with them and Da Huang accompanied their mother.

There was only one person and one dog left in the backyard.

Shen Qingli took a stick and started drawing on the ground, she was designing the position.

Now they need to use a lot of bricks for the exterior wall of their house. After all, the yard is so big, and she wants to include the backyard…

Based on the previous bills, Shen Qingli drew the location of the courtyard wall herself.

Then start thinking about the location of the foundation.

She first found the entrance to her secret passage, and then began to draw the load-bearing walls. She planned to build four rooms with bathrooms. The master bedroom would be larger, and the other rooms would be smaller. Gou Wa and Niu Niu would each have one room, and the other would be used as a guest room.

A large living room, in which she wants to have a sofa, a super large and comfortable one.

Shen Qingli already had an idea in her mind, the only pity was that she couldn’t just take things out of her own space and use them!

After all, it’s too advanced!

The kitchen, dining room, laundry room, etc. also need to be designed.

The locations of deep wells are all marked.

Anyway, the people we invite just need to dig according to their own wishes.

Shen Qingli painted for a long time, and then Gu Qichuan and Zhou Yubai came back, both dragging heavy bamboos.

It would take more than a day or two to build a house, and if they were to live here, they had to live decently and not too poorly… so the two of them prepared to build a sturdy shed!

Shen Qingli squatted beside the bamboo with a smile…
