My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Wei Yin swallowed and pondered Yin Jiuchen's words for a moment.

He quickly added a handful of firewood into the stove and trotted off to move the wood.

Six carts of wood were unloaded by several people in less than half an hour.

Gu Lili pretended to hand the banknotes to Uncle Fa Cai, who also pretended to count them and put them into his sleeve.

In fact, this silver note just passed through Uncle Fa Cai's hands for a while and was seen by everyone.

By the time Uncle Fa Cai put the silver into his sleeve, it had already returned to Gu Lili's pocket.

Yin Jiuchen looked at Uncle Fa Cai who was leaving with the convoy, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Lao Zhou and others couldn't wait any longer. They washed their hands, drank a few sips of water, and hurried to the next yard.

I plan to make Yu's wife's bed today so that the mother and daughter will have a bed to sleep in.

Wei Yin also hurriedly fetched water for Yin Jiuchen to wash his hands and poured water for Yin Jiuchen to drink.

"You should take a rest too. You've been guarding the stove all night. Now it's my turn to clean up." Yin Jiuchen said to Wei Yin beside him while drinking water.

In fact, there are many secret guards of Yin Jiuchen near Gu Lili's house.

Yin Jiuchen didn't have to guard the furnace himself. He could just call out a secret guard from the dark.

However, Yin Jiuchen didn't want them to show up.

If everyone comes to Gu Lili's house, how many sets of bowls and chopsticks will we need?

Old Mrs. Li and Gu Chenxi were even more tired.

Also, if it happens, the originally relaxed atmosphere will definitely become awkward again.

Anyway, it is common for them to sleep in the open air, and it doesn't matter if it's just one or two days.

In order to prevent them from disturbing the Gu family and the villagers, they hid at a distance.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that if Gu Lili discovers someone in the dark, she will take out the tranquilizer gun and cause a misunderstanding.

Wei Yin looked terrified and waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Highness, I am not tired. I will just keep guarding."

Yin Jiuchen was almost scared to death when he was rubbing the wood just now.

He didn't dare let Yin Jiuchen go to guard the stove himself.

Isn't this a matter of losing your head?

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I order you to go and rest!" Yin Jiuchen said without question.

Wei Yin had no choice but to go back to the house to rest.

As he walked, he was still wondering why Yin Jiuchen seemed like a different person.

In the past, when he went to the capital, let alone doing these rough work, even when he was eating, someone would pick up the food and put it in front of him.

There is no need for him to do it himself.

However, Yin Jiuchen in the past was like a cold iceberg, without any warmth and not liking to laugh.

He kills decisively, like a cold-faced King of Hell.

Yin Jiuchen now has become much more human and smiles more often.

Wei Yin seemed to prefer the current Crown Prince.

Yin Jiuchen drank the water in his hand in one gulp and went to the yard next door.

He just saw Gu Lili going next door. He took on this task because he wanted to spend more time with Gu Lili in these two days.

After all, we don’t know when we will see each other again.

Yin Jiuchen originally thought that Gu Lili came to see Yanshui, but when he arrived at the next yard, he did not see Gu Lili.

Seeing that the fire in the stove was not burning brightly, Yin Jiuchen added a few pieces of wood and then wandered around the yard next door as if nothing had happened.

I want to see where Gu Lili is.

Gu Lili just watched Lao Zhou and the others work for a while, and then went to watch the workers who were building the house.

Their house is almost built.

All that's left is the wall.

Judging from the current situation, it can be completed today.

But looking at the wall, Gu Lili always felt it was not very safe.

She recalled the night when Niu Cuihua's brother came to steal their silver.

Now that there are more houses, we must pay more attention to safety issues.

People come and go, and if someone climbs over the wall, it would be difficult to tell for a moment.

After all, this yard will probably be home to dozens or even hundreds of people in the future.

Looking at the high wall, Gu Lili suddenly had an idea and thought of a great idea.

You can go to the beach to pick up some shells, then sharpen them and stick them on the shell with mud.

Gu Lili knew very well how sharp the shell was.

There were several times when I went to the beach and accidentally scratched my fingers.

It's not serious, but it really hurts.

If you place the shells upright on the wall, any bad guy who wants to get in through the wall will suffer.

Thinking of this, Gu Lili went to discuss the matter with the craftsmen who were building the house.

When the craftsman heard this, he thought it was a great idea and nodded in agreement.

After all, this is the best of both worlds. Gu Lili's family is safe, and they can get a few more days' wages.

After saying this, Gu Lili turned around and saw Yin Jiuchen behind her.

"Chang'an, is there something wrong?" Gu Lili asked.

Yin Jiuchen was speechless for a moment. It was not easy for him to tell Gu Lili directly that he was here to find her.

I want to stay with her.

Seeing Yin Jiuchen hesitating, Gu Lili smiled and said, "Are you here to ask Master Zhang to help you build a yard?"

Otherwise, how could he appear here?

Yin Jiuchen nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, I just came to ask about building a house!"

Gu Lili nodded, understanding.

"It will probably take some time to build your yard. There is one place I need to complete, but you can discuss it with the craftsman first."

Gu Lili said this and planned to leave.

Yin Jiuchen hurriedly stopped Gu Lili and said, "Since you haven't finished the work here, I will come back to discuss with the craftsman later. Actually, I want you to help me with something."

Gu Lili looked puzzled, not knowing what Yin Jiuchen wanted her to do for him.

"I want you to help me draw a blueprint of the yard." Yin Jiuchen explained.

Gu Lili drew the blueprints for her two courtyards herself and made improvements in many places.

Gu Lili laughed and said, "I built this house to open a workshop, but I didn't expect it to catch your eye. If you want to live in it, you may have to make some changes."

Yin Jiuchen nodded.

What he valued most was the kang designed by Gu Lili, which is the house he lives in now.

He had seen the structure, and he couldn't imagine how warm the house would be if firewood was lit outside in winter.

This method may also be used to design a flower hall.

When the snow falls, move to the flower hall, where you can plant many flowers.

If the temperature is high enough, they won't die.

This way, you can enjoy the flowers that you can’t see on weekdays in winter, which is really beautiful.

If, in the future, when I am not busy, I can enjoy the flowers with Gu Lili...
