It was bright.

After breakfast, Gu Manzhu couldn't wait to call Xu Bo, Xiao Chu and others to go to Shangshan Village together. She wanted to see the houses in Shangshan Village.

Looking at the condition of the house, I hope there is no major damage, otherwise I don’t know when I can move in after it is repaired.

The group rented two carriages. After an unknown amount of time, the carriages stopped while Gu Manzhu was drowsy.

She opened her eyes and found that Xiao Liu and Chen in the same compartment were sitting upright.

Then Xu Bo's voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss Manzhu, we have arrived at the house in Shangshan Village."

"it is good."

After saying that, he got off the carriage with Xiao Liu and Chen.

The house is backed by the largest mountain in Qingshi Town, Hushan. As the name suggests, there are tigers on this mountain, so villagers generally do not go into the mountain.

Led by Xu Bo, Gu Manzhu and others came to the door of the house and watched Xu Bo open the door lock with a rusty key.

"Creaky~" With the sound of the door being pushed open, the general situation of the house came into everyone's sight.

The house has a large courtyard as the first step into the courtyard.

Now the whole yard is full of debris, various broken tools, dust, and there are big spider webs hanging in the corners.

Gu Manzhu had expected the house to be dirty before she came, but she didn't expect it to be this dirty.

She carefully walked around the debris in the yard and came to the main house to take a look. Fortunately, apart from being dirty, there was no major damage.

This house is built with stones, which is unique in Shangshan Village. Most villagers build their houses with mud and straw, which are not only small but also not solid.

This house is very solid because it is built with stones, and the roof is made of good tiles. Only a few tiles are broken on the edges, which can be replaced when the time comes.

Not bad, not bad, Gu Manzhu nodded. It was much better than she had imagined. She just needed to clean it up and fix what needed to be fixed.

Xiao Liu followed Gu Manzhu step by step.

"Xiao Liu, let's clean up this place and move in later!" Gu Manzhu's voice was full of excitement. She could start her planting business here.

"Okay! I'll try my best to clean it up!"

"Just clean the kitchen area well. From now on, we will enjoy our delicious food on your behalf!" Gu Manzhu said jokingly to Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu's face turned red with embarrassment.

She was very happy in her heart. Following Miss Manzhu, her life became much more interesting than before.

Once you enter the house, you can almost see all of it by walking around it.

Gu Manzhu returned to the yard, and Xu Bo also looked around the house and came back.

"Miss Manzhu, how is it, does it need to be renovated?"

"No need, Uncle Xu, we just need to clean up the house thoroughly, disinfect it, and repair the damaged parts."

"disinfect??"

Uncle Xu was full of questions. He had never heard of disinfection before.

"Well, let's clean first, and I'll do the disinfection when the time comes, hehe." Gu Manzhu almost forgot that there was no concept of disinfection back then.

Gu Manzhu looked at the group of people who followed and said, "It will be hard for you. There is strength in numbers. If everyone cleans a piece of the ground, it will be cleaned up quickly."

"Okay!" everyone answered in unison.

Feng Nan and Kong Su took the initiative to move all the heavy objects in the yard outside and threw them away.

Mr. and Mrs. Li went to clean the house.

Even Li Huai and Xiao Lizi were sweeping the floor with a big broom each.

Xiao Liu has already started working hard in her kitchen!

Seeing that everyone was so helpful, Gu Manzhu was not to be outdone. She took a wooden stick and cleared all the spider webs hanging in the corners.

As expected, there is strength in numbers. It's only noon and the place has been cleaned up almost completely.

Gu Manzhu straightened her waist which was stiff from mopping the floor and loudly greeted everyone who were busy and sweating.

"Everyone, take a break. Let's go eat first. There won't be much left. Let's take a break in the afternoon and then clean up."

"okay!"

"Miss Manzhu, where are we going to eat?"

"Yeah, yeah, we can't go back to town and eat and come back later, can we?"

"Well, let me think about it. Why don't we go to the villagers and ask if they have anything to eat? Then we can have lunch right there!"

"Is this okay? Won't they reject us?" Kong Su asked with a frown.

After listening to this, Xu Bo fell into deep thought.

"No, most of our fields are nearby. The people in Shangshan Village are pretty good. Let's go ask around. Besides, we don't eat for free. We buy them with our own money. Moreover, we want to move here and see what the villagers are like."

"Uncle Xu is right. Let's go and try it first. The worst that can happen is we can go back to town to eat."

After Gu Manzhu finished speaking, she led the way out.

Xiao Liu hurriedly followed, and the group of people behind him looked at each other, then followed him out the door.

A group of people were walking in the village in a mighty procession. Several children in the village saw them coming from afar and hid themselves.

The environment of this village is good. There are many fruit trees planted on the roadside and the houses are neatly maintained. Although they are not as good as stone houses, they are very clean. It can be seen that the villagers of Shangshan Village are still hardworking.

They walked along the village path, turned several turns and finally stopped in front of a house that looked relatively wealthy.

Xiao Liu went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a plain-dressed lady came to open the door.

When my aunt saw so many people standing at the door, she stood there in a daze.

What happened? Why are there so many people at the door?

Gu Manzhu saw her aunt's confusion.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Aunt, we just moved to Shangshan Village and haven't started cooking yet. Can we use copper coins to exchange for some food from you?"

The aunt suddenly came to her senses when she heard Gu Manzhu's request.

"Yes, yes, but our family is not well off and we don't have much to eat. If you don't mind, you can come in and eat."

After saying that, he turned around and shouted into the house: "Old man, there are guests coming, come out and greet them!"

Then, a deep voice came from the room: "Old lady, what guest?"

As the voice came, a middle-aged man who was a little older but still energetic walked out.

When he saw Gu Manzhu and the others, he didn't say anything, but just invited them into the house.

Although I found a house that looked relatively wealthy, it was not very big.

When Gu Manzhu and her group entered the main room, they felt it was crowded.

There are only three or four chairs in the main room, and most people sit standing there.

Gu Manzhu looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat, and after thinking for a while, she spoke to break the silence.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you. We were just cleaning the house and didn't cook, so we wanted to find a family to exchange some food for."
