Chapter 265 He is the cannon fodder control group (21)
Aunt Zhao and several aunts who came to help had dinner at Si Cen's house. After dinner, not only did they go back to their own homes, they also "kidnapped" Si Cen away.
In Aunt Zhao's words, "Two newlyweds cannot see each other the night before their wedding, otherwise it would be unlucky. Man, you can get married at my house. I will treat you as my own son."
Si Cen didn’t believe in the so-called good fortune, but Gu Yao believed in it very much.
He personally sent Si Cen and Aunt Zhao out the door, and watched their backs until they were out of sight.
Si Cen held the small bag that Gu Yao had stuffed into his hand before he left, and found that it was fully packed with everything from toiletries to snacks, as if the designers were afraid that he would miss something and go hungry at someone else's house.
But in fact, he only stayed for one night and came to pick her up the next day.
When he arrived at Aunt Zhao's house, Si Cen met Aunt Zhao's man Gu Dazhui, and Gu Dashan whom he had met during the day. Gu Dashan also had a younger brother, Gu Dahe, who was in his early teens, and a three-year-old son named Gu Yulin.
It was not until he saw Gu Dashan's husband that Si Cen understood why this little guy, nicknamed Gouweiba, was the only one in the family who was so different from the rest.
Gu Dashan's husband heard that Gu Dashan picked the boy up from the woods on the roadside outside the village on the way to the town. At that time, the boy seemed to be very ill and fainted on the ground. If it weren't for Gu Dashan, he would have died that day.
He was not from Da'ao Village, and it seemed that he was not even from any nearby village. When asked, he could not explain clearly. He only said that his home was far away and that his family had suffered a disaster and he had come to seek refuge with distant relatives.
Si Cen felt that this boy's temperament was different from those of the villagers at first glance. He was the kind of person who could be raised in a family with very high material and spiritual conditions from childhood to adulthood.
He was sure that this guy was still concealing something.
He said that this guy has a noble air that is not found in ordinary people.
The name of Aunt Zhao's first grandson, Gu Dashan's Good Old Son, was given by her husband.
"Man, this is your brother Dashan's husband, Jin, let him stay with you tonight, and let Jin accompany you tomorrow morning."
Aunt Zhao was all smiles and asked her daughter-in-law to take Si Cen to familiarize herself with the place. The other men in the family naturally had to avoid suspicion with their brother. Gu Dazhu only showed up to say hello when Si Cen first arrived. Gu Dashan also took away his son, who was drooling at Si Cen in a daze.
Dashan Fulang smiled and nodded to his mother-in-law, then walked up to Si Cen and said softly, "Man'er, shall I take you back to your room?"
Si Cen nodded and followed Oyama's husband into the room.
Although Aunt Zhao's house is not a blue brick and tile house, it is much better than Gu Yao's thatched house. Although it has earthen walls, the roof is covered with tiles. In the middle of a row of rooms is the main hall used for entertaining guests and eating. There are two rooms on the left, one where Aunt Zhao and her husband live with their youngest son Dahe, and the other where Gu Dashan and his wife live with their son. There are also two rooms on the right side of the main hall, one for storing rice, flour, grain and sundries, and the other is the kitchen.
The house was surrounded by earthen walls on both sides, forming a yard. One side of the yard was piled with firewood and a thatched shed was built on top to protect it from rain and snow. On the other side, there were two simple chicken and duck coops, where chickens and ducks were raised. However, the yard was cleaned frequently and the weather was cold, so there was not much odor.
Almost every household in Da'ao Village has a house with the same layout. The toilets are usually at the back. There is usually a vegetable garden behind the house, where they grow some fruits and vegetables for the family to eat. If they grow too much and can't eat it all, they can carry it to the town to sell and earn a few cents to supplement the family income.
Tonight, Dashan and his father will sleep in the room where grain is stored. Gouweiba and Daha will sleep with their grandmother, and Sicen and Dashan's husband will sleep in their usual rooms.
The room was very clean and the bedding and sheets were changed.
Although this family was not very wealthy, it was obvious that everyone was very hardworking and kept everything clean. There was even an early-blooming plum blossom on the small mud windowsill.
"I'll go get you some water to wash up. Then go to bed early. You'll probably be very tired tomorrow." Oyama Furo said.
Si Cen was staying at someone else's house, so he didn't feel comfortable asking them to serve him. He quickly took out his toothbrush, tooth powder and face towel from the bag that Gu Yao had packed for him, and said, "I'd better go with you."
Dashan's husband noticed that he felt a little uncomfortable in his own home, but he didn't refuse and took Si Cen to the kitchen.
When the weather is cold, people who don't mind burning firewood would rather boil some hot water for washing.
When Si Cen started brushing his teeth with warm water, he felt that Jin Ge'er couldn't help but secretly look at him again and again.
He didn't say anything until he rinsed his mouth with water, then turned to look at Jin Ge'er.
Jin Ge'er was a little embarrassed, as if he felt that his behavior was a bit offensive, "Sorry... I just think the things you use to clean your teeth are new and novel, I don't mean anything else."
Si Cen generously showed him the TuTu brand love toothbrush.
"This looks better than willow."
"Of course." Si Cen raised his chin proudly, "This is my idea. Brother Yao's craftsmanship is unique."
Jin Ge'er suddenly realized, "No wonder, I was wondering why I had never seen this before, it turns out you made it yourself, it's really ingenious."
He looked a little surprised, but since he knew it was not bought, he restrained himself and returned the toothbrush to Si Cen.
Si Cen looked at his slightly disappointed expression, rolled his eyes, leaned over and said with a smile, "Brother Jin, do you like it? If you like, I can do it for you."
"Really?" Jin Ge'er's eyes lit up, but he quickly reacted and changed his words, "How can I trouble you? I'd better not do it."
Si Cen said, "I'm not giving it to you for free. I have a purpose. I'm just asking you to try it for me. Please give me your opinions after using it. If you find it useful, it would be even better if you can help me promote it."
Brother Jin looked at Si Cen with some surprise, "Brother Man, are you... thinking of doing business?"
I just like talking to smart people.
"Do you think you can do it?" Si Cen asked.
Brother Jin looked at the toothbrush in his hand, and seemed to be thinking seriously. After a long while, he finally said, "You can do it."
He even thought that this little thing might cause quite a stir.
Everyone in the village knew about Man Ge'er's story, and Jin Ge'er naturally knew him as well. Thinking about how Man Ge'er lost his parents at such a young age and was treated like that by his uncle and aunt, he naturally felt a sense of sympathy for him.
Now it seems that he has come out of the haze.
It's no wonder that he has such a flexible mind to come up with such a sophisticated tooth cleaning tool, and he is so bold as to think of doing business with it. He probably inherited it from his parents who are also very flexible and daring in business.
"Then after I get married, I will make you a toothbrush. You can try it first." Si Cen smiled at Jin Ge'er, showing his big white teeth.
Jin Ge'er nodded, and the two of them washed up together. They changed the water and soaked their feet, then returned to the room and lay on the comfortable kang.
Si Cen couldn't sleep.
Maybe there was no obvious feeling when they were together, and he and Tu Tu did not sleep on the same kang, but when they suddenly separated and lived in someone else's house, Si Cen felt this unfamiliar feeling.
I’m not used to not hearing Gu Yao’s breathing, and I’m not used to not feeling his presence.
Obviously, the kang in Jin'er's house was bigger, and they even gave him an extra mattress so that it could sleep softer, but he still felt that it was not as comfortable as the small kang in the thatched hut.
Jin Ge'er beside him was already fast asleep. Si Cen gently turned over, facing the small window, staring in a daze at the moonlight coming in from outside.
What is Tutu doing now?
are you asleep?
Will he also not get used to it?
