Chapter 58 I want to take a shower

“Then, give me half of the total amount. The little kid can’t take up much space.” the village chief begged.

 The shopkeeper said impatiently, "Chengchengcheng."

The village chief kept mumbling something, but for a long time he couldn't figure out how many copper coins he would give.

Just when the shopkeeper was about to ask how many people were in his family, Gu Fei said from the side: "Grandpa, the village chief, you have six adults and two children. Just add a bucket of water and give me 140 cash."

The village chief looked at her in surprise, "You girl, can you still count?"

 “Is this right?”

The shopkeeper also glanced at Gu Fei and said, "This girl is right, it's one hundred and forty yuan."

The village chief gave a bunch of one hundred pennies, counted another forty pennies, and quickly called his son to fetch water.

Gu Zhang looked at Gu Fei, "Where will we live?"

 It doesn't matter where Gu Fei sleeps, but she wants to take a bath.

 Since she came to this world, she hasn’t had a bath yet!

The little water at home was barely enough for the family to eat and drink, but it was not enough for her to take a bath. She did not dare to make such an obviously unreasonable request to take a bath.

Gu Fei pulled her father aside and said, "Dad, I'm thinking about getting a room. I need to take a shower. My injuries are not bad, and I'm itchy all over."

Gu Zhang had no objection, "That's fine. You women will stay in the dormitory at night. There aren't enough beds to make the floor, so your brothers and I will share the common bunk."

 “It’s just Uncle Ma here—”

As he said that, he turned to look at Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma seemed to understand what he meant and smiled at Gu Zhang, "I just live in Tongpu."

 When he was young, he often slept in the fields.

Gu Zhang nodded, "Then I'll wrong you."

Gu Fei quickly handed over the money to the shopkeeper and bought a few more buckets of water, planning to boil it at home for a bath later.

Gu Qing and his younger brothers had built a simple stove out of clay and rubbish. Gu Fei pretended to rummage around in the car a few times and took out a large iron pot and then two buckets.

Mrs. Chen came over and whispered: "Daughter, I'm thinking about it. Today at noon, everyone sees our family eating white noodles, and I'm afraid they feel a little knotty in their hearts. Bring out some meat, and we'll make a pot of broth later. Give a bowl to every household.”

Gu Fei admires her mother so much, she has such a high emotional intelligence.

She nodded, pretended to rummage in the car for a while, took out a piece of meat, and took out the chopping board and kitchen knife.

Gu Erlang went to fetch water, while Gu Qing and Gu Sanlang took a lantern and went to find dry firewood in the field nearby.

Ms. Chen placed the chopping board on the waist-high loess wall and began to chop the meat.

Qian's side was in disgrace. Gu Zhong didn't do any work at home, and he still didn't do any work when he came out, wandering around with his hands behind his back.

Qian's earthen stove hadn't even been set up yet, and Xing'er was being ordered around by her, sometimes asking her to take this, and sometimes letting her take that.

 Bao'er was playing with Huzi and the village chief's grandchildren named Yam Yao and Forsythia.

The old lady looked at Gu Fei's house. Two earth stoves were set up, water was brought over, Li Chunhua was stirring a piece of alum in it, and Mrs. Chen was chopping meat.

Gu Fei and Lanzhi picked off the roots and yellow leaves of the wild vegetables they picked on the road.

 Everything is in order.

The rest of the families also joined the battle, and the village chief's family started making noodles.

The old lady hurried to Qian's side to help. She was afraid that her eldest son and precious grandson would not be able to eat dinner.
