Chapter 58 I Want to Take a Shower

"Well, then just give half of it, the kid won't take up much space." The village chief begged.

The shopkeeper was impatient, "Okay, okay, okay."

The village chief muttered to himself, and couldn't figure out how many copper coins he had to give for a long time.

The shopkeeper was about to ask how many people were in his family, and Gu Fei said beside him: "Grandpa village chief, you have six adults and two children in your family, plus a bucket of water, just give 140 coins."

The village chief looked at her in surprise, "You girl can count?"

"Is this correct?"

The shopkeeper also glanced at Gu Fei, "This girl is right, it's 140 coins."

The village chief gave a string of 100 coins, counted 40 coins, and quickly called his son to fetch water.

Gu Zhang looked at Gu Fei, "How do we live?"

It didn't matter where Gu Fei slept, but she wanted to take a bath.

She hadn't taken a bath since she came to this world!

The water at home was barely enough for the family to eat and drink, not enough for her to take a bath, and she didn't dare to ask for such an obviously unreasonable request as taking a bath.

Gu Fei pulled her father aside, "Dad, I was thinking about getting a room. I need to take a bath. My wounds are almost healed, and I feel itchy all over."

Gu Zhang had no objection, "That's fine. You women can stay in the house at night. If there are not enough beds, you can sleep on the floor. Your brothers and I will sleep in the dormitory."

"But here, Uncle Ma..."

He turned his head and looked at Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma seemed to understand what he meant and smiled at Gu Zhang, "I can live in the dormitory."

When he was young, he slept a lot in the wild.

Gu Zhang nodded, "Then I'm sorry."

Gu Fei quickly paid the shopkeeper money and bought a few buckets of water, planning to boil it at home for a bath.

Gu Qing and his brothers had built a simple stove with dirt. Gu Fei pretended to search the car for a while, took out a large iron pot, and then took out two buckets.

Chen came over and whispered, "My daughter, I think everyone will feel uncomfortable when they see us eating white flour at noon today. Take out some meat, and we will make a pot of meat soup later, and send a bowl to each household."

Gu Fei admired her mother very much. Her emotional intelligence was not low.

She nodded, pretended to search the car for a while, took out a piece of meat, and took out the chopping board and kitchen knife.

Gu Erlang went to fetch water, while Gu Qing and Gu Sanlang took a lantern to find dry firewood in the wild field nearby.

Chen put the chopping board on the waist-high loess wall and started chopping meat.

Qian was covered in dust. Gu Zhong did not work at home, and he did not work when he came out. He just walked around with his hands behind his back.

Qian's earthen stove hadn't been built yet, and Xing'er was being driven around by her, asking her to do this and that.

Bao'er and Huzi, as well as the village chief's grandchildren named Shan Yao and Lian Qiao, were playing together.

The old lady watched Gu Fei's family build two earthen stoves, bring water over, Li Chunhua mixed it with a piece of alum, and Chen was chopping meat.

Gu Fei and Lanzhi picked the roots and yellow leaves of the wild vegetables they picked on the road.

Everything was in order.

The rest of the families also joined in, and the village chief's family started kneading dough.

The old lady hurried to help Qian's family, because she was afraid that her eldest son and precious grandson would not have dinner.
