"The land behind your house that's suitable for digging a pit isn't big enough. If you have eight of them, you can only use the land in the village."

Zhao Dong didn't dare to say exactly where the boundary between the hillside and the woods was, but he had already figured out the boundary outside. When he was building a house last year, everyone in the village said that his family's house was well planned and chosen for the site, because if the house was a little bigger, it would have occupied the village's land.

He had to ask.

Gu Qingqing was naturally aware of this, "It's okay, Brother Dong, you take care of the arrangements first, I'll go back and check with the village chief."

"Okay, you take care of the village affairs, and we brothers will take care of the rest."

They had dinner early today. After everyone left, Gu Qingqing sprinkled a handful of wheat bran on the remaining rice soup and took it to the backyard for the donkey to drink.

By the way, add some hay to its feeding trough.

Erhua, who was feeding the rabbits, saw that her mother was busy, so she called out anxiously, "Mom, wait for me."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Gu Qingqing said, but her eyes were scanning the backyard.

The backyard is quite large, but it is divided into two parts by a bamboo fence. Half of it is used to raise her chickens, rabbits, donkeys and sheep, and the other is a study area for the village children.

She needs paper now and needs a relatively hidden place.

It is never appropriate to do it under the eyes of children. Firstly, the noise from working will disturb their studies, and secondly, she doesn't want the whole process to be seen.

"Never mind. Wen Wuyan should be back in a few days. We'll deal with it all when he comes back." Gu Qingqing muttered. Seeing Erhua still feeding the rabbit with grass one by one, she felt angry.

He walked over, grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into the cage. "How long are you going to keep feeding it one by one? Go to the front yard, wash up and go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Before going to bed, Gu Qingqing spread a thin layer of salt on all the meat that had not been divided, and put it in the cellar after dinner.

......

The next day was Gu Qi’s 100th day.

Gu Qingqing got up early in the morning and dressed herself up. She wore a lilac soft satin embroidered thin jacket that she had only worn a few times last year, a brocade flower skirt of the same color, and a silver hairpin in her hair.

Finally, she picked up the pearl powder and looked at it, but decided not to apply it on her face. She was going to visit relatives today, so there was no need to dress too ostentatiously.

Dahua and Erhua wore a light pink embroidered short jacket with a waist and a slanted collar, and a dark silk skirt. They had two small buns on their heads and wore the pearl flowers I bought for them last year. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and with such a large figure, the two girls looked even more beautiful and delicate.

As for Sanhua, Gu Qingqing simply gave her a sky-high braid like the Heavenly Child-Fairy.

Li Xin was wearing a royal blue mouse-gray jacket with a stand-up collar, and the little guy looked full of energy.

Old Yang helped Gu Qingqing harness the donkey cart. Without asking, Dahua and Li Xin put the bamboo baskets that they had prepared in the house to take to grandma's house on the cart.

"You stay here and watch. I'll go carry Sanhua out." Li Xin called to Dahua and hurried back to the garden. Seeing Erhua struggling to carry Sanhua out, he immediately stepped forward to catch her. "Give it to me. The donkey cart outside is already ready. Get on first and I'll hand Sanhua to you."

On the road connecting the two villages, Gu Qingqing held a branch in her hand and touched the donkey's butt from time to time.

Although it was not the first time for the children to ride a donkey cart, it was the first time for them to go to their grandmother's house and they chattered and did not play along the way.

After entering the village, Gu Qingqing was afraid that her driving skills were not good enough and that the donkey would be frightened, so she simply got off the cart and walked by the reins.

"Hey, isn't this the daughter of the Daquan family? Are you back to see your father?"

Gu Qingqing saw someone greet her, but she didn't care what the other person said. She smiled and said to the other person, "Auntie is at home today. Have you finished your work in the fields?"

"I'm almost busy."

"Okay, Auntie, please stay at home and I'll go see my mother."

Gu Qingqing said goodbye to the other party and greeted everyone she met along the way with a smile.

When I was almost at my mother's door, a child suddenly called out, "Gu Zhuangzhuang, your sister is here."

Then Gu Qingqing heard Gu Zhuangzhuang's voice, "Go away, you are disrespectful." In less than two breaths, Gu Zhuangzhuang ran out of the house. He was startled when he saw the donkey cart, and then he saw that it was his sister who was driving the cart. He even ran out of his shadow at this moment. When he got to the donkey, he attacked it, "Ah! Sister, where did you get the donkey cart? Did you borrow it from the village? The donkey looks really strong."

"uncle!"

The three people in the car shouted at Gu Zhuangzhuang, but Gu Zhuangzhuang's mind was completely distracted by the donkey cart, and he didn't hear the children shouting at him at all.

"This donkey is so nice, its ears are so big, and its fur is so black." Gu Zhuangzhuang reached out and stroked the fur on the donkey's neck.

The donkey wanted to dodge but failed, and could only hit his nose in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, it's not happy for me to touch it."

Gu Qingqing looked at the silly Gu Zhuangzhuang and laughed at him, "Look at you, you're so silly. Aren't all donkeys' ears like this? You're not familiar with it now, and it has a stubborn temper. It's only because it's pulling a cart, otherwise it would really dare to stick its hooves out at you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhuangzhuang hurriedly put his hands behind his back, as if this could erase the fact that he had just touched the donkey.

"Sister, did you buy it?"

The smile on Gu Qingqing's lips couldn't be suppressed even with an AK, "This is something your brother-in-law bought for me to use as a means of transportation."

As Gu Qingqing spoke, she didn't even notice how proudly she was smiling.

When Gu Zhuangzhuang heard that the donkey cart really belonged to his elder sister, he clapped his hands on both sides of his thighs with joy, "Sister is really amazing, she can even drive a donkey cart. Sister, come home quickly, mother is waiting for you."

"Uncle, uncle, uncle, we called you just now but you ignored us." Erhua complained to Gu Zhuangzhuang in a low voice.

Gu Zhuangzhuang just smiled at her and said, "Uncle was just busy looking at the donkey."

Gu Qingqing brought the children into the yard. Gu Jiashi and Xiaocao sighed as they watched the donkey. Then Gu Jiashi looked at the children in the car, the wrinkles on her face relaxed, and she smiled from ear to ear and said, "Grandma's darlings, you miss grandma so much."

"Grandma." Dahua Li Xin said in unison.

"Grandma, I miss you so much!" Erhua smiled and showed her gap teeth.

"Be good, be good, all good. Sanhua, let grandma hold you." Gu Jia took Sanhua, and the rest of the little ones jumped off the car by themselves.

While holding Sanhuaqin, Gu Jia looked at the three children who got off the car, and happily praised them with words like "they have grown taller and prettier".

On the other side, Lu Xiaocao helped take the things off the cart, and Gu Zhuangzhuang helped lift the shaft.

Gu Qingqing tied the donkey to an elm tree in the yard and asked, "Hey, you didn't pick elm seeds to eat?"

"We've hit them. The rest are too high and we can't reach them." Lu Xiaocao said from the side.

It was only then that she realized that someone was missing. "Sister, are you still busy with the farm work? Why didn't my brother-in-law come?"

Before leaving, Gu Qingqing raised her hand and patted the donkey's shoulder blade, as if to encourage and thank it, and then she said, "Your brother-in-law has gone to the county to study."
