Chapter 145: Gu Yundong, Why Are You Here?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong was still in a daze. The beam would be installed?
Aiyo, she had not been to her house for the past few days. She did not know what was going on.
She quickly put down the work in her hands, packed up, changed her clothes, and walked towards the homestead.
Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up as she looked at the refreshing green brick house in front of him.
Finally, she had her own house.
Feng Daneng was also very excited. This was the most proud house he had built.
He followed Gu Yundong inside. As he looked, he said, “The beam will be up the day after tomorrow. This furniture might take another two days to be pulled over. This is the cellar you wanted. The well in the backyard has been dug. This house is really good.”
Feng Daneng sighed. Gu Yundong looked around and was very satisfied.
She would tell Madam Dong about the treat later. The beam-installation here required a party.
However, there were not many people in the village that the Gu family were familiar with. It was impossible for her to treat the entire village to a banquet.
After some rough calculations, she realized that Shao Qingyuan, the Zeng family, the village chief’s family, the Feng family, and the sixth great-grandfather were on good terms with her. There were also the workers who helped build the house. There were also two or three tables with their families. Yes, there was also the Shi family.
Liu Wei… would also be invited.
Oh yes, there were also Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunke’s playmates. These two little fellows actually had friends, although there were only two or three of them.
After drawing up the name list, Gu Yundong began to prepare.
There were many things that she did not know. It was Madam Dong who told her what to buy and how to prepare steamed buns and peanuts. Madam Zhou and her daughter-in-law, Madam Song, also came over. Feng Daneng’s wife also said that she would help cook on the day of celebration.
Gu Yundong was very grateful to them and was generous.
On the day when the sun rose, Gu Yundong was woken up by Madam Dong.
She brought Madam Yang and the other two to the entrance of her house and saw more than half of the villagers gathered there.
Madam Zhou came over to call her. “Yundong, quick, firecrackers are going off.”
Gu Yundong asked Gu Yunshu to light the firecrackers. The moment the firecrackers sounded, Feng Daneng and the others also shouted, “The beam is up!!”
Gu Yundong threw out all the peanuts, cinnamon, and round steamed buns in her hand, mixed with copper coins.
All the men, women, old, and young present pounced over excitedly to snatch it. Those who managed to snatch the copper coins were screaming and shouting.
Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunke were completely awake and were playing with each other.
After the beam was up and the crowd dispersed, it was time to prepare the food.
Madam Dong, Madam Zhou, and the others began to cut the vegetables and meat. They looked at the vegetables that Gu Yundong had bought and smiled.
Later on, guests arrived one after another.
There were also uninvited guests from the village. As long as they were not here to cause trouble, Gu Yundong would let them in, including Madam Fang and her daughter.
Liu Wei was in the county city, but he came especially early, as if he was here for breakfast.
However, there was also an unexpected family—the Peng family.
Peng Zhongfei didn’t come. He didn’t dare to come. However, he also paid attention to the day when the Gu family’s house was completed. That day, he got someone to send a gift over. Because the person in charge of the Gu family was a girl, he asked for the help of his wife’s nanny to send it over.
That nanny was quite arrogant. She even brought two servant girls with her.
Since they were guests, Gu Yundong naturally invited them in. Besides, she was very willing to accept gifts.
Unexpectedly, just as the three of them entered, one of the servant girls behind the nanny suddenly widened her eyes and shouted, “Gu Yundong!! Why is it you??”
