Chapter 32 Gifts
Gu Shinian spent an afternoon installing glass on the windows of the three rooms, nailing iron nails on the window lattices, winding thin iron wires, and finding a few pink flowers from the widow Wang's kang cabinet. Cotton cloth, clamped on thin wire with wooden clips, becomes a simple curtain.
Yunshang's eyes lit up. On a snowy day, sitting on the hot kang head, looking at the fluttering snowflakes outside the window through the pale pink flower curtains, not to mention how comfortable it is, even in my heart Delicious.
"Second brother Gu, you're really amazing, these windows and curtains are even prettier than my previous room!" Yun Chang lay on Gu Shinian's back and kept praising Gu Shinian.
She didn't lie. In the past, the window of her room was a large floor-to-ceiling window, and she also turned out a platform of about one meter to form a small balcony. Every winter, Yunshang always nested under the window to read news and play games. Playing games, or reading novels, it is such a clean and well-arranged place, but Yun Chang feels that it is far less beautiful than the palm-sized window in front of her.
Even the rustic curtains, Yun Chang thought it was incredibly beautiful.
Gu Shinian was afraid that she would fall, so he supported her with his backhand, and with the other hand, he put the hammer and other tools together, and let Yunshang put it in the space.
He looked up at the sky outside, and while protecting Yunshang off the kang, he said:
"The people from Lao Yun's family should be here soon. You bring out a piece of bacon. I remember that there are boiled cakes in the supermarket. You also take two boxes, which will be wrapped separately and sent to others."
Knowing that Yunshang had never heard of a local snack such as boiled cakes, Gu Shinian then reminded, "You can find boiled cakes in the local specialty area."
Yun Chang looked confused, first took a piece of bacon about a kilogram and put it on the chopping board, and his consciousness went around the supermarket again, and finally found a few boxes of brick-sized red boxed boiled cakes in the specialty area.
When he opened it, he saw that there were 9 egg-sized brown pastries covered with white sesame seeds.
"Second brother Gu, this is the cooking cake? Is it delicious?"
"Sweet and greasy, you don't like it."
The main ingredients of this pastry are honey, brown sugar, white sugar, and maltose. With the light taste of Yunshang, I really can't eat such a greasy thing.
Gu Shinian ignored Yun Chang's greedy appearance, and asked her to take out four sheets of greaseproof paper, two of which contained five boiled pancakes, and the other two were wrapped in four each, and planned to give them away at night.
Yun Chang didn't leave any of them for her when she looked at Gu Shi Nian, but she wasn't angry, and instead asked enthusiastically:
"Second brother Gu, why do you want to send boiled cakes instead of a few small cakes?"
"Zhibing is a famous spot in our world in southern Jinnan. I have seen the map. Qinghe County is in the generation of southern Jin. It’s more expensive than chicken cakes. The small cakes in the supermarket taste good, but they have to be recognized by others. When we give gifts, we still have to send them to the hearts of the recipients.”
Yun Chang stared blankly at Gu Shinian, feeling that he was really amazing.
The two of them came through at the same time. When she was still confused and didn't know where she was, he had already figured out the entire county, and even knew where the trucks of the transportation company were parked at night.
In such a comparison, Yun Chang felt that she was really useless.
"Second brother Gu, tell me about Linxi Province, no, tell me about the situation in Qinghe County."
Gu Shinian is also willing to tell Yun Chang a little more about the situation in this world. While packing up the gifts to give, he said:
"Linxi Province should be the Jin Province of our world, and Qinghe County is the southernmost county seat of Linxi Province, located at the corner of the Yellow River, across the river from the other two major provinces.
From the map, Qinghe County is located at the junction of the three provinces, with a very special geographical location and convenient transportation. It is one of the important transit points for transportation between the three provinces. This is also the main reason why Qinghe County has its own transportation company.
"
"Second brother Gu, aren't there any transportation companies in other counties?" Yunshang interjected.
"There are, but not many, especially in Qinghe County. It is even rarer for a transportation company to have more than ten large trucks in a county."
Yun Chang nodded and stopped talking, Gu Shinian continued:
"Qinghe County has a special geographical location and developed transportation industry. It is more affluent than the surrounding counties. Now many county towns are surrounded by muddy roads and loess houses, and even the entire county cannot find a two-story building, which has nothing to do with the village. The difference. But there are two-story buildings on both sides of Cross Street in Qinghe County, and even the three main streets are covered with large bluestone slabs. It can be seen that Qinghe County has a relatively deep heritage.”
"The county has a large population from other provinces every day. Correspondingly, the management is stricter. There are 24-hour patrolling police teams on the streets, and red sleeves patrolling during the day. The form is also more severe than other places.
The next time you go to the county seat, you can't do the untimely actions on the street as recklessly as you did last time, which will easily bring you unnecessary trouble. "
"Have you seen it?" Yun Chang was surprised again.
"I see. Check that your red sleeves are acquaintances. I will introduce you to you next time."
Gu Shinian didn't say it right. His body and the red sleeve were not just acquaintances. Strictly speaking, the two were partners.
Before he came through, the original body and the red sleeves were combined to make a fairy jump several times, which fooled Gu Guangzong and the bad boys a lot of good things.
Gu Shinian looked like he was being chased that day, but it was actually planned early in the morning. The red sleeves were going to follow Gu Shinian to the old place and beat those boys hard, but on the street, Yun Chang, who was crying nonstop, was shouting to chase after Gu Shinian, so he turned around and used the name of interrogation to stop him. Yun Erchuan gave Gu Shinian time to finish off.
The sky gradually darkened, and there was a knock on the door outside. Gu Shinian knew that someone from the Lao Yun family was coming, put the bacon and a piece of boiled cake wrapped in oil paper in a bag, and pulled Yunshang out the door. .
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was a foot thick on the ground. When Yun Chang stepped down, it took a lot of effort to pull out his legs.
After leaving the courtyard, Yun Chang quickly stretched out her hands as soon as she saw Yun Shuilian, and said crisply:
"Aunt! Hug!"
No matter how mature Gu Shinian's core is, his body is only eleven years old after all. Yun Chang is reluctant to let him carry her so far, so he simply relies on Yun Shuilian's arms.
Yun Shuilian already liked Yunshang, but seeing Yunshang taking the initiative to be close relatives with her, she immediately pursed her lips and smiled. He bent down and picked up Yun Chang, and asked about the situation of the widow Wang. After being fooled by the two, he hugged Yun Chang and led Gu Shinian to Lao Yun's house.
