Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Gu Mingyue rubbed her ears and sat up, "Sister-in-law, my ears are going deaf."

Liu Caixia looked embarrassed.

Thinking of Mingyue's words just now, he felt that he was justified and said, "Don't interrupt me. Tell me what your plan is."

After saying that, he did not forget to add, "Let me make it clear once and for all."

Gu Mingyue did not hide it any more, "Sister-in-law, there are only Xiao Shitou and I at home now, and it's not good to occupy two pieces of residential land and cause gossip;

The villagers have taken good care of our family over the years, and I can’t push it too far, or else it will make life difficult for my uncle and his family.”

Liu Caixia listened and didn't care. "What's the big deal? Without your father, it's hard to say whether the villagers can survive."

"Sister-in-law..." Gu Mingyue said seriously, "I know my father. When he made the choice, he definitely didn't think about asking everyone to repay him.

He will only worry about not having the time to say goodbye to my mother. So I can't use my father's name to tarnish his reputation. "

Liu Caixia didn't have much contact with her uncle, mainly because of the difference between men and women.

Plus, my uncle had been out there doing business, and I don’t know what to say about his temperament after he returned to the village…

It's just different from the people who work in the fields.

Her mistress said that her uncle had seen the world, so he was naturally different.

The head of the family also said that his uncle used his identity as a peddler to help the Red Army pass on intelligence.

He delivered supplies to the frontline soldiers, but was betrayed and his identity was revealed.

The national army posted his portrait everywhere and offered a reward for his capture.

Fortunately, he had been using an alias when he was outside and had deliberately disguised himself as speaking with a southern accent, so he was able to escape the disaster and return home.

If it weren't for the bandit incident that year, with my uncle's ability, he might have taken my aunt and the others to the city to enjoy a good life, and Mingyue would not have suffered all these hardships.

Gu Mingyue was not aware of the heroic deeds of the original owner's father.

The father in the original owner's memory was a little old man who smiled every day, played with her, and hugged her to go crazy.

Every time her mother said that if he spoiled the child like this, it would be easy to spoil him...

Her father would always proudly say, "Even if my own daughter is spoiled, I am willing to support her for the rest of her life."

In fact, the sudden departure of the original owner’s father also caught the original owner off guard.

Her mother remained strong for her, and so did the original owner!

Otherwise, the original owner would not have completely lost the will to live after his mother's death.

In her memory, the original owner saw her parents waving to her together when she was dying.

She happily went to meet him, followed by her elder and second brothers, and the whole family chatted and laughed...

Such a wonderful family made Gu Mingyue, who was always cold-hearted, feel sad.

I can only wish that they can still be a family in their next life, and have no worries about food and clothing, and live a safe and smooth life!

Liu Caixia thought that Mingyue, who was immersed in her thoughts, was thinking about those sad things again.

I blame myself for being a naggard and meddling in other people's affairs.

It’s also nice to build a house. I can change the place and mood, and I can also take care of Mingyue nearby.

She took the initiative to take over the conversation, "Then tear it down. I'll ask your eldest brother to come and give you advice tomorrow. What do you need?"

Gu Mingyue didn't react to why her sister-in-law suddenly looked so kind and caring.

He didn't care, but asked, "Sister-in-law, I just took a rough look, the wood of the beams and the tiles on the roof are still usable;

If I use materials from the original site, how long do you think it would take to build a house the same size as mine?"

Liu Caixia roughly calculated and said, "You have ready-made materials. It's not autumn harvest yet, so there's not much work to do in the fields. Find more people to help, and it will only take about a week."

Gu Mingyue had actually looked up information before.

It is said that these days, a house can be built and occupied in as fast as three days. But it has to be built when the farm work is not busy.

At that time, most of the houses built in rural areas were made of adobe, and most of these adobes were made by each family themselves.

Making adobe bricks is also simple. Chop the rice straw into sections (about 3-5 cm long) and then mix them with crushed yellow mud.

Add rice water and stir (clean water is also fine), and use your feet to step on it until it is completely mixed and slightly sticky!

Then use a wooden mold, scoop the mud into it, press it down with your hands, lift the mold up, and you will have a finished earth brick underground.

After drying naturally, the materials for building the house are basically ready.

Even if families do not build houses, they will make some adobe bricks for use during the slack season.

If someone doesn't have enough money to build a house, all the other families can contribute and pay it back later.

Don't underestimate this adobe house. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, but it has one bad thing: it's falling apart.

So what Gu Mingyue is thinking now is to build a brick and tile house.

She has the memories of the original owner, but even the original owner doesn't quite understand the details of life.

She asked directly, "Sister-in-law, if we build a brick house, can my brother buy red bricks?"

Liu Caixia carefully advised, "Mingyue, building a brick house will cost a lot of money. Sister-in-law knows that you have money and there are many places where you can spend it later. Let's save some money."

"Sister-in-law, instead of leaving the money there for people to worry about, it's better to put it out in the open, because the more you hide it, the more attention others will pay. Instead of not knowing what will be spread about you in the end, it's better to spend the money now."

At this point, Gu Mingyue didn't hide it anymore. "Not only will I build a brick house, I'll also install glass windows. I just want people to know that I've spent all the money in the family. Then I'll register the house under Xiao Shitou's name."

Liu Caixia had a headache. "What are you trying to achieve? How are you going to live after you spend all the money?"

"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten that Xiao Shitou gets a subsidy every month, which won't affect his life. What's the point?"

Gu Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "I just want others to know that I am an aunt who is supported by my nephew."

Little Stone was building blocks by himself.

He didn't understand what his aunt said when she was chatting with his great aunt, but he understood the words "raising aunt" and immediately said loudly, "I will raise aunt."

Liu Caixia was so worried that her brows knitted together, "Mingyue, if you do this, your reputation will be ruined in the future. How can you find a good family?

Listen to my sister-in-law, save some money for yourself, Xiao Shitou has subsidies, and your elder brother and I will help take care of him, so you don't have to worry;

You are 18 years old now, and if you meet someone outstanding in school, you should consider it. "

Gu Mingyue knew that her sister-in-law said these words to her out of consideration for her.

She could just brush it off for now and talk about the future later.

But Gu Mingyue didn't want to fool the sister-in-law who really treated the original owner as her daughter, so she gave her a "vaccination" in advance.

I only heard her say, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to tell you the truth, I'm just going to stay with Xiao Shitou from now on, and I'm not planning to get married.

I know you're doing this for my own good, but sister-in-law, ask yourself, with conditions like mine, how many people who come to me wouldn't want to wipe out their entire family?

How many of them are sincere in seeking marriage? I don’t deny that there may be sincere people among them, but how much is sincerity worth? ! "

Looking into Mingyue's black and white eyes, Liu Caixia was shocked by the indifference and certainty in those eyes.

She realized that Mingyue's words were not to discuss with her, but just to inform her.

This is what she can't understand the most!

Could it be that the child was injured because of a major change in the family?

How can we not get married? How will Mingyue live alone in the future? !

Liu Caixia left in a daze, feeling confused.

Gu Mingyue still wanted to talk to her about the demolition of the house, but she thought it would be better to give her sister-in-law some time.

After all, the gap in concepts between the two eras is quite large, and my sister-in-law needs some time to digest it.

Gu Mingyue is not planning to live according to the original owner's personality forever.

She is Gu Mingyue, unless the Lord of Heaven comes to take away her soul.

Otherwise, no one can change the fact that she is Gu Mingyue.

There are many examples of people experiencing drastic changes in their temperament after experiencing misfortunes throughout history.

She didn't worry at all that others would doubt her difference and was completely open-minded.

She was touched by Liu Caixia's concern, but she knew that was based on the original owner.

She didn't have to be hypocritical and care about whether her sister-in-law cared about her or the original owner. It was meaningless.

She just wanted to use this incident to draw a boundary between them.

After all, she is at this age. If she doesn't take precautions in advance.

There's no guarantee that her sister-in-law won't come to her in the name of doing good for her and urge her to get married or act as a matchmaker.

Rather than being caught in a dilemma because of face, it is better to speak out at the beginning and deal with the villain first and the gentleman later.

Her principle in dealing with things is: never waste any energy, never suffer any injustice, and never suffer any loss.
