Chapter 66 Zeng Family
The family name is Zeng, and the house is not big. The person who opened the door was a little girl of six or seven years old. Seeing a stranger standing at the door, she asked in a timid voice, "Who are you looking for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another woman hurried over and looked at Gu Yundong suspiciously.
"Hello auntie, I'm Gu Yundong, a newcomer to Yongfu Village. The building next door is my house, and it will be my neighbor in the future. I came here to say hello to my aunt, but building a house during this time has disturbed you. Second, I want to ask my aunt to do me a favor."
Gu Yundong said with a smile, his attitude was very kind.
When Mrs Dong heard her talk, she felt very polite. Knowing that she was the Gu family next door who was going to build a brick house, she would definitely have a lot of contacts in the future, so she quickly backed away and said, "Let's talk first."
Gu Yundong entered the door and glanced casually at the courtyard of the Gu family.
The house is clean, the courtyard is not big, and the house feels in disrepair.
Mrs. Dong took her into the main room and asked, "What do you want me to do? Say it."
"I want to use my aunt's kitchen to cook **** tea." Gu Yundong explained, "The weather is a little cold now, and my uncle outside helped my house build a house. Tea can also warm the stomach. I don’t know if it’s inconvenient for Auntie Fang?”
Mr. Dong was just stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "It's convenient, of course it's convenient, and it doesn't cost much. You sit down for a while, we have **** in our house, I'll get it for you."
Ginger is grown at home, and there are many, Dong Shi quickly brought her a handful.
Gu Yundong was also welcome, not only borrowed **** and firewood, but also borrowed their buckets and bowls. After it was cooked, he took it out with Mrs. Yang. Feng Daneng wondered where she went. Seeing her bringing **** tea over, a trace of surprise crossed his face.
Gu Yundong told him what he meant, "This man has a dry mouth after working for a long time. I see that some people directly scooped up raw water to drink, and it is very easy to get sick. So I borrowed Zeng's kitchen to cook for a while. A pot of **** tea is also comfortable to drink hot. If you are not used to the taste of **** tea, there is also boiled water, Uncle Feng, please let everyone come over and drink some."
Feng Daneng has never seen a host who cooks **** tea for others. At most, he keeps it cold and boiled and drinks it himself. This little girl is really good, so everyone is eager to iron, and the work will be more energetic.
After Gu Yundong and Feng Daneng finished talking, they turned back to Zeng's house.
Mr. Dong was cleaning up in the kitchen. When she saw her coming in, she smiled and said nothing.
Gu Yundong took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into Dong's hands.
Mr. Dong was taken aback and hurriedly returned the copper coins, "What are you doing, it's just a few pieces of ginger, I..."
"Auntie, this money is not only for today's money. It will take more than a month for my house to be built. It is impossible for me to come here every day. So I want to trouble my aunt to help me cook a pot every day, and I don't have to have **** tea every day, boiling it. The water at the end is also fine, and this money should be regarded as the wages of my aunt, and the firewood and water for my aunt’s house have to be picked by someone.”
Dong shi was stunned for a while, looking down at the two hundred pennies in his hand, thinking about the man who was smashed in the leg and still lying on the bed, as well as several young children in the family, he gritted his teeth and took the money back. "Thank you, auntie."
"Then I will trouble my aunt." Gu Yundong then left the Zeng's yard.
As soon as she went out, she saw that the door of a house next door was also opened, and she looked at the man who had just stepped out of the door in surprise.
