Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 27: One person wakes up, the whole family stays awake
When the rooster crowed for the first time in the backyard, everyone in Shanghe Village was still sleeping soundly, and Gu Tang was also sleeping soundly.

But after a while, he was awakened by a series of clanging sounds outside the house.

Gu Tang raised his head sleepily, but the room was pitch black and he could not see anything.

She propped herself up with her arms and listened carefully for a while. The noise came from the main room, such as the sound of doors opening and closing, and the sound of a wooden basin falling to the ground.

I called up the system panel and looked at the time. It was almost half past four.

Speechless!

It's getting up at this point?

I have never gotten up so early before. What’s wrong with me today?

The cold air invaded his exposed shoulders, making him almost numb from the cold. Gu Tang lay down again, gathered the blanket around him, and cursed inwardly: You're sick!
Closing his eyes and turning over, Gu Tang planned to sleep for a while longer.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, Feng Shi started shouting outside: "Old lady! Old lady! Get up and boil some water..."

The shrill voice echoed throughout the Gu family, waking up even the dead.

Gu Tang opened his eyes again, his heart full of admiration.

If one person gets up early, the whole family will not be able to sleep.

He took out a lighter from the system backpack and fumbled to light the oil lamp.

Since she couldn't sleep, she got up and prepared to go up the mountain. There was no one on the mountain at the moment, so she didn't have to worry about anyone seeing the place where she set the trap.

Shivering, Gu Tang put on his fur coat and glanced at the temperature on the system panel. The temperature had dropped again, only two degrees today.

When I put on the straw sandals, a cool feeling passed through the linen socks to the soles of my feet, and most of the warmth in my feet disappeared in an instant.

Gu Tang frowned. In previous years, when winter came, the original owner always wore cloth shoes inside straw sandals, and his feet were covered with frostbite every year.

There was no way she could endure this suffering. Gu Tang took out a few rabbit skins from the system backpack and would go and talk to her father later to ask him to make two pairs of shoes for her using the rabbit skins.

At this moment, Gu Ping'an's voice came from outside the door: "Second sister? Are you awake?"

Gu Tang paused. Great, another one was woken up by Feng.

Put down what you are holding and go forward to open the door.

Gu Ping'an, who was standing outside the door, hunched his neck in the cold, rubbing his hands to keep warm. Gu Tang hurriedly let him in: "Even if you can't sleep, you can't get up now. It's better to lie in bed than to freeze!"

"Dad is up. I'm alone under a thin blanket, and I can't even feel warm. I might as well get up and go to the kitchen to light a fire to keep warm."

Gu Ping'an's lips were purple and his voice was trembling.

Gu Tang reached out and touched his clothes, frowning. They were too thin!

"There's a blanket on the bed. Wrap yourself in it first."

She reached out and took the blanket, unfolded it, and wrapped it around Gu Ping'an. She then said, "I have some reed fluff and other things in my closet. I'll give them to you. You can pound them and stuff them inside your coat. Just hold on for a few days, and I'll get you a fur coat in a few days!"

Gu Ping'an's eyes lit up. "Second sister, if you can find a fur coat, don't worry about me, give it to Dad first. Dad has to clear the snow off the roof every day in winter, and he also has to do some work like chopping wood. Every year he gets frostbite all over his body! If Dad could wear a fur coat, he would be more comfortable."

Gu Tang nodded in satisfaction. He was a filial son. "You don't have to worry about Dad. I'm here to take care of him."

After he finished speaking, he went to the cabinet, opened it, took out all the reed flowers inside, handed them to Gu Ping'an, and asked him to beat them.

Gu Pingan wanted to take off the blanket and return it to Gu Tang, but Gu Tang stopped him and told him to put it on first: "I'm going into the mountains later, so I'll leave this blanket with you. When you've prepared your jacket, stay in Dad's room and keep the blanket. There are thieves in this house."

"Okay! Don't worry, second sister. I'll keep a close eye on the fur blanket. No one can steal it!" Gu Ping'an touched the blanket curiously, and walked out of the house with Luhua in his arms, looking happy. After seeing them off, Gu Tang took the rabbit fur and locked the door before going to look for her father.

Her father Gu Lianshan was boiling water in the kitchen at that time. When Gu Tang went over, Gu Lian from the main house was also boiling water inside.

Because the Gu family only had one pot, they also only built one stove. Earlier, Feng called Wei to get up and boil water. Although Wei suppressed her dissatisfaction and agreed, she hesitated for a long time before letting Gu Lian come out to boil water.

Gu Lianshan, who was woken up, knew that his daughter would also be woken up, so he simply got up and went into the kitchen to boil water.

Therefore, when Gu Lian, who was several steps late, entered the kitchen, Gu Lianshan's hot water was about to boil.

Gu Lian didn't dare ask Gu Lianshan for hot water, so she could only light the clay stove and boil water in a clay pot.

Because of what happened the day before, Gu Lian always felt insecure and couldn't raise her head when facing her second uncle. She kept her head down and said nothing since she entered the kitchen.

When she saw Gu Tang coming in, her face turned pale and she was shaking with fear, fearing that Gu Tang would dislike her and beat her again.

Gu Tang glanced at her and ignored her. He just handed the rabbit skin to her father and asked her father to make shoes for her.

Gu Lianshan took the rabbit skin without saying a word and asked her, "Are you going to wear it today?"

"I'd like to wear them today, but sewing soles is extremely time-consuming. It will take at least two or three days to finish them."

"Sure!" Gu Lianshan nodded. "Dad has several pairs of ready-made soles in his room, some for you and some for your brother. I'll make them for you later."

Gu Tang was delighted: "So, when I come back from the mountain, maybe I can wear it!"

Gu Lianshan paused: "Are you going into the mountains today?"

"Yes, we need to go into the mountains. The temperature has dropped so quickly in the past two days. I'm afraid this winter will be difficult, so I want to make more preparations."

Gu Lianshan didn't say anything for a while before saying, "There's a torch in your room, take it. You know this mountain better than I do, so I won't say much. Just remember one thing: don't go in too fast. If you think something's wrong, get off the mountain."

"Oh! Don't worry, you know me. Your daughter has always cherished her life!"

Gu Tang responded happily, rolled up his sleeves and scooped up hot water to wash up.

Gu Lian lowered her head, listening blankly to the conversation between the second wife's father and daughter, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

She couldn't tell what was wrong, but she just felt jealous and envious.

Her father never spoke to her like that, and neither did her mother.

Because she wasn't his son, her father ignored her from childhood to adulthood. Her mother didn't ignore her, but she either beat or scolded her.

Not to mention words of concern, even speaking to her in a calm tone was something she had never experienced before.

Gu Lian plucked up her courage and looked up at the father and daughter, then quickly lowered her head. The expression on her face was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen.

By the time Gu Tang finished washing up, the water in the earthenware jar had boiled.

Gu Lian took the linen cloth from the stove, circled the clay pot, put her hands on the cloth, and hurriedly left the kitchen holding the clay pot.

After the people walked away, Gu Tang put down her sleeves and asked her father curiously: "What's wrong with grandma today? Why did you get up so early? She never gets up before dawn."

"Your grandma and grandpa probably didn't sleep all night. They're asking for hot water now, probably to warm their feet before bed."

what?
Gu Tang had a puzzled look on his face: "You didn't sleep all night? Did you fight with them all night last night?"
