Chapter 414: The promise of weaving straw mats

Old Li never expected that his popularity in the village was so good!

He was moving, and everyone was so enthusiastic to help him tidy up the house and luggage—oh my, there really wasn't any luggage, just take his non-mainstream Teddy, and the stainless steel rice bowl that couldn't be bitten through.

"How embarrassing is this..."

He stood in the courtyard rubbing his hands, looking at the hot sun overhead, and then pulled the corners of his mouth wide.

"What's so embarrassing about this."

Wu Lan brought a few aunts from the village and tidied up from the kitchen—it was simple to organize again after the Li family had already tidied up once when moving.

She raised her voice: "You are a big man living here, it must be careless and leaking, our Guo Yi is going to move in immediately, we have to look for her?"

This is not, the ones called by Wu Lan are all aunts with some underlying diseases in the family.

Troublesome, but not fatal, all rely on later conditioning.

Now that there is a doctor with a higher level in the village, how convenient! Just Old Li, his medical skills, who in the village doesn't know, it's really second-rate.

Heard that the new doctor has certificates, and the teacher is also very amazing... this is not, they are all planning to help now, and when they look for medical advice and prescribe medicine later, the other party will be more careful!

This is not, everyone's hands and feet were very agile, and even found a rusty big iron pot from the corner of the kitchen.

"Li Yisheng, you don't want this pot, right? I feel it matches my stove quite well."

"That definitely don't want, the town can't burn firewood."

Old Li looked depressed, feeling the difference between people: "It's all rusted, if you don't dislike it, take it."

"I definitely don't dislike it!" The other party said: "Go back and boil water to brush it, and then take a piece of pork to open the pot... By the way, I also have a small pot for gas stoves at home, take it to Guo Yi for cooking, she doesn't have to buy it again."

Old Li:...

You take my iron pot, and exchange it for your own small pot for Guo Yi?

What is called not taking your own for nothing?

Listen to how outrageous this is?

Looking at Wu Lan again, she also nodded in agreement: "That's how it should be, Guo Yi is settling in our village, she is young, we have to think more."

"She cooks by herself, no need to buy any pots and pans, I have quite a few when I move, turn around and get two sets for her, it's enough."

Another aunt didn't express any opinion on the things in the kitchen, but looked at this bathroom:

"Look, I said Li Yisheng is a big man, this mirror is spotted and can't be seen clearly, how to use it? I have a big mirror on an old wardrobe at home, turn around and take it down and stick it on this wall."

Old Li:...

Say it if you say it, step on me for what? Hmph!

He originally wanted to be the medical guarantee in the village, but now he has to run because of his family—there is human affection outside the law, and his heart

Now, after being lectured like that, for some reason, the tightness in her chest had vanished.

Dr. Guo followed behind the group of aunts, unable to get a word in, so she had to silently plan the layout of the house.

At this moment, she still felt embarrassed: "Sorry to trouble everyone. Later, I'll boil some cooling tea in the clinic to relieve the heat. If you don't mind, just bring your own cups and come get some."

Oh my! Zhao Xiaoshu tea! Look, this young lady is truly thoughtful!

The village aunts were full of enthusiasm and even asked: "Can I bring a water jug to fill up? We drink water at home, and those cups don't have lids, so it's inconvenient to fill them one by one."

"Sure, that's fine."

Dr. Guo was well-versed in doing this—it was exactly how she had quickly integrated into the urban village before.

She would only provide it during the three hottest months of summer; once the season passed and the timing was off, she would naturally stop. It wouldn't lead to any of those "gratitude turning into resentment" issues.

Besides, the medicinal herbs used for the cooling tea were cheap; one jin could last for many days of boiling. It was cost-effective!

"I'll buy a cheap tea barrel online. From now on, I'll boil it every morning and leave it at the door. Whoever wants some can help themselves. If it's finished by the morning, everyone please remember to help me refill the barrel with water, otherwise, there won't be any left for the afternoon or evening."

Could this even be called a chore? Wasn't it just a simple task?

Everyone agreed with great enthusiasm.

In reality, if you really calculated it, the tea barrel and herb packets weren't much cheaper than mirrors or iron pots, but wasn't that how human connections were built?

Guo Dong wanted to put down roots in the countryside, so she definitely needed to organize these relationships well.

Hearing this, Wu Lan became even more certain that Dr. Guo was a sensible person—

Oh my, thinking about her four elderly family members, she became even more enthusiastic:

"By the way, there are no beds here. If you don't mind, Dr. Guo, the child's grandfather has a few beds over there that aren't being used anymore. I'll have one brought over for you later."

"As for you, just bear with it and stay one more night at Aunt Zhang Hong's place, then you can buy a mattress online."

"And quilts, I have those too. My family also has duvet covers and such—but you young people are particular and don't like using old things, so just buy a new set online; it's not expensive."

Dr. Guo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and quickly opened her memo to write it down.

Afterward, she looked around the room again—she needed to buy a washing machine, a refrigerator, and install an air conditioner.

They didn't need to be particularly expensive, but with the mattress, it would still cost nearly 10,000.

Calculated this way, it wasn't much cheaper than renting.

But look at how spacious it was here!

Not to mention anything else, just this courtyard alone would make it much more convenient for her to process medicinal herbs in the future.

Plus, she could buy fresh vegetables from Song Tan's family at any time—just for this, Guo Dong no longer had any thoughts of being picky.

While things were busy and bustling here, Song Tan strolled along and followed Song Song Youde back to the old house.

"Grandpa, when you rebuild the house, why don't you add a layer of those gray sloped tiles on top of the flat roof? It's heat-resistant and prevents the roof from leaking."

"That's for sure."

Song Song Youde didn't hesitate: "Since we're redoing it, it has to be comfortable—Tan Tan, Grandpa has money, you don't need to worry."

Song Tan nodded with a smile and continued planning: "Leave two bedrooms, and I'll have the kitchen and the fire-roasting room on the side installed for you. The main thing is to fence in the courtyard and clean up the ground—that way, Grandpa, you won't have to worry about it being all mud when you do work in the future."

"Good, good, good!"

Song Song Youde now thought everything about his eldest granddaughter was perfect; even just briefly looking at the prospects made him grin from ear to ear.

He then solemnly promised: "Tan Tan, don't worry, this time I'll definitely weave you an exceptionally good straw mat!"

"Let me tell you, the very best straw mats in the past used 10,000 stalks of rush grass per mat, guaranteed to make you sleep comfortably!"

"But, looking at what people weave now, two thousand stalks is already impressive. After all, it's too thick and takes up space, and since housing is expensive now, it's not cost-effective to use it for that."

Song Tan:... That was an angle she hadn't considered.
