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

Later, go to Aunt Zhang's house to borrow a ladder.

Add some straw to the roof to patch it up and use it for now.

When she went out just now, Gu Lili looked at the road specifically and was afraid that she could not go to Donghai Town today.

The ice on the road hasn't melted completely yet, so it might be difficult to walk to Donghai Town.

It would be better to stay at home, clean up the collapsed house and put the straw and wooden beams aside. It doesn't look good to just pile them in the yard.

Gu Erniu rubbed his eyes and came out of the shack, only to see Gu Lili in a daze.

"Sister, you got up so early today. Is it uncomfortable to sleep in the shack?" Gu Erniu asked with concern.

Gu Lili looked at Gu Erniu's messy hair and said with a smile, "I slept well. Come here, I'll help you comb your hair. It's as messy as a chicken coop."

Gu Erniu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Sister, I'm already grown up, why do I need you to comb my hair? I can do it myself."

As Gu Erniu said this, he went to get a basin of water to wash up.

"Sister, I'm not grown up yet, I need you to help me comb my hair." Gu Sigou poked his little head out of the shack and looked at Gu Lili with a smile.

Gu Huanhuan also came out of the shack and said with a smile, "Sister, I want you to help me comb my hair, too!"

Gu Lili looked at the two little chicken heads and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, come on, line up, I'll comb your hair one by one!"

Gu Sigou trotted in front of Gu Lili and said, "Sister, comb my hair first. I run the fastest!"

Gu Lili smiled and nodded, then took the comb and started combing Gu Sigou's hair.

Gu Huanhuan was not annoyed. She found a small stool and sat quietly beside him, waiting with a smile on her face.

Gu Lili felt that Gu Sigou today was more like a child. Normally he was too sensible.

As children, sometimes it is better for them to be more lively.

After Gu Sigou finished combing his hair, he went to wash up. Gu Huanhuan then sat in front of Gu Lili and asked Gu Lili to help comb his hair.

Gu Huanhuan's hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, just like Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou's.

Little girls definitely love beauty, and I believe Gu Huanhuan is the same.

Gu Lili thought about it, then "took out" a wooden lotus hairpin from her arms and handed it to Gu Huanhuan.

"Huanhuan, look at this hairpin, do you like it?" Gu Lili said with a smile.

This hairpin was carved so vividly that even though it was just the color of the wood, it was enough to make Gu Huanhuan's eyes light up.

"Sister, this hairpin is so beautiful. Where did it come from? Is it also left by my mother?" Gu Huanhuan took the hairpin and said with surprise.

Gu Lili's face was filled with black lines. As expected, their mother had been taking the blame for too long. Whenever something happened, the children subconsciously thought of her.

"Um...that's not it. I bought this for you in Donghai Town that day. I was busy these days and forgot about it. I just remembered to give it to you today!" Gu Lili's mouth twitched.

"Sister, is this expensive?" Gu Huanhuan asked tentatively.

Gu Huanhuan didn't want Gu Lili to spend money on her. She felt that she was already satisfied as long as she had enough food and clothes every day.

Moreover, my sister said that they were going to build a new house. Although she was still young, she knew that building a house would require a lot of money.

Now, she just wants to grow up quickly so that she can share more responsibilities with her older brothers and sisters.

Gu Lili looked at the sensible Gu Huanhuan and couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes. She looked up at Tiandao and said, "It's not expensive, just one penny. Huanhuan, you are still young, you don't have to worry about money. You just need to be healthy and grow up happily like Sigou!"

As Gu Lili spoke, she took the hairpin from Gu Huanhuan's hand and put it on Gu Huanhuan. Gu Huanhuan nodded, not quite understanding what she meant.

After Gu Huanhuan combed her hair, she stood up and walked towards the bucket, intending to see what she looked like in the bucket.

Before he even got close, Gu Sigou smiled sweetly and said, "Third sister, you look so beautiful today! Like a fairy."

When Gu Huanhuan was praised by Gu Sigou, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

He looked at the bucket shyly yet happily.

When I saw my own blurry figure in the picture, I couldn't help but laugh. It turns out that girls, no matter how old they are, like to show off.

Gu Sigou also followed and continued, "Third sister, I didn't lie to you, isn't she as beautiful as a fairy!"

"Oh, Si Gou, you are so shameless! Be careful or I won't cook for you!" Gu Huanhuan ran away in shame.

Gu Sigou continued to chase after Gu Huanhuan and tease her with a smile.

Gu Lili looked at the two siblings who were playing and laughing with a smile on her face. In the blink of an eye, she saw Gu Erniu looking at her shyly.

"Erniu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Gu Lili asked curiously.

"Sister, why don't you comb my hair too?" Gu Erniu said a little embarrassedly.

In the past, when my mother was alive, she would comb my hair for me.

Ever since Li Xihua passed away, Gu Erniu felt that he was already an adult and never let Gu Lili help him comb his hair.

However, when he was watching Gu Lili combing Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou's hair just now, he felt extremely sad for some reason.

He missed his mother so much. In front of his sister, could he sometimes not act like a man?

Gu Lili looked at Gu Erniu like this, burst out laughing, and said, "Come quickly, sister will comb your hair for you."

Gu Erniu happily followed the example of Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou, sitting in front of Gu Lili and asking Gu Lili to comb his hair.

Soon, Gu Lili combed Gu Erniu's hair.

Gu Erniu also imitated Gu Huanhuan and happily looked at himself in the bucket, then went to clean up the house that collapsed yesterday with satisfaction.

Gu Lili also tidied up and started cooking.

After dinner, they started to clean up. The straw on the roof was quite old, so Gu Lili asked them to collect it and pile it aside so that it could be used for burning.

Wood and other things were also piled up and burned.

Although their little house is not big, it took them almost a whole day to pack up the straw and wood.

Today, they were so tired that Gu Lili and her three siblings boiled water to wash up after dinner, and then went to bed early in the shack.

I was sleeping soundly when suddenly Big Black started barking wildly.

Gu Lili rolled over and sat up. Just as she was putting on her shoes, she heard someone calling her outside.

"Sister Lili, Sister Lili, are you asleep?"

Gu Lili felt that the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
