Chapter 95: New Home
Chen Goudan looked at the blanket on his body and gently touched it.
It was an old blanket but most things in the family now were old in order to keep a low profile.
The blanket was used by Gu Qingyao’s brothers when they came back. It was old but very clean.
Chen Goudan touched and felt its texture. The blanket was quite soft, but not as soft as a new one. It was much better than the one they had in his uncle’s house.
When his father was still alive, he had such a blanket when he was young. However, it was taken by his eldest uncle’s family. It was difficult for her grandma to raise him and his sister. She did not have the chance to get a soft blanket.
Chen Goudan was upset and he hugged his sister tighter.
“I will buy you a new blanket that is even softer than this!”
“Really?” Chen Xiaocao’s eyes sparkled.
“Of course. Now, let’s sleep. No one will disturb us in Sister Gu’s family. Close your eyes and sleep.”
Chen Xiaocao immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep in her brother’s arms soon.
Before the sun rose the next morning, Chen Goudan woke up and followed Gu Conghua to the cowshed and fed the cows.
After finishing breakfast, Mo Beihan brought the two nephews over without Gu Qingyao’s reminder.
“Brother Beihan!”
Mo Beihan immediately smiled as he saw Gu Qingyao. He was always in a good mood when he saw this little girl.
“I heard about Goudan’s issue. It’s better for him to move out. At least he won’t suffer in his uncle’s home. Later we’ll help to fix his house in order to pass this winter.”
Gu Qingyao chuckled, “I was about to call you.”
Mo Beihan raised his brows, walked forward and said softly, “Are we… reading each other’s mind?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Was he… trying to flirt with her?
The brother Beihan in the past would not do such things…
Gu Qingyao raised his head and stared at Mo Beihan.
He was still that handsome. Though he always stayed in the countryside, he did not have the farmer’s vibe. His unique aura seemed to be coming from his bones.
Gu Qingyao felt Mo Beihan was more mature recently. It felt that…
It felt that she wanted to marry him!
Gu Qingyao blushed when she thought about that.
Mo Beihan was slightly stunned when he saw her blushed. Why did she blush so easily?
He touched his nose. He did not say anything… that was too direct?
Gu Qingyao did not reply. She asked Chen Xiaocao and Chen Goudan to get something with her.
They reached the temporary house that Chen Goudan was staying by the foot of the mountain. Mo Beihan looked around for a while and planned where to start the process. At the same time, Brigade Leader Wang Mingtao’s youngest son, Wang Qingshan came.
“What a coincidence. My father was still worrying about Chen Goudan’s house and asked me to help,” he smiled and said.
Mo Beihan smiled, “Just in time. I’ll need an assistant.”
They took a glance at the house and Mo Beihan made the decision, “Though the house is old, the house beams are not too bad. We do not need to touch the wooden part. Just get some dry grass for the roof so no rain will leak in.”
“We also need to clean the yard, remove all the grass and stones.”
The yard was not small. Though it was messy inside, the walls around were nicely built. This was one of the reasons why Chen Goudan chose this place. It would be safer with the walls.
