Chapter 112: Construction begins!

Tian Laosi returned home and went straight to the kitchen, taking out all the bags he had saved.

At this time, Shen Cuilan was in the kitchen making breakfast for her son, Yan Yan.

Seeing Tian Laosi take out all the nylon bags in the house like a madman, she looked at him with a surprised face.

'What are you doing so early in the morning?'

Tian Laosi squatted on the ground, sorting through the nylon bags in his hands, and muttered impatiently, 'Chen Zi's family is running out of nylon bags!'

Shen Cuilan threw the eggs in her hand into the pot and frowned.

'If you take all of them, how are we going to carry the food?'

It's not that she doesn't want to give them away, she just feels that it will be somewhat inconvenient for her to give them all to Gu Chen.

Tian Laosi folded the bags neatly together before standing up.

'You're not going to buy it? How much stuff have you eaten from the Gu family?'

'You can't bear to part with a few bags, but when you eat their apples, you don't seem to eat less!'

After saying this, Tian Laosi grabbed the bags and went to the Gu family's house.

He left Shen Cuilan standing by the stove with her nose in the air.

She muttered, 'It was just a little chat! It's like I ate firecrackers!'

While Tian Laosi was on his way home, Gu Chen went back to the kitchen.

It was about time, and Tang Tang and Ji Pianran should wake up too.

He returned to the space and ladled some Lingquan water into the pot.

Then he came out, put the water on the stove and started to boil it.

On the other side, he heated up the oil and prepared to make tomato and egg noodles.

He beat the eggs, diced the tomatoes, added a little chopped green onion, and then put it in the pot.

The smell of the eggs wafted out in an instant.

Gu Chen finished stir-frying the vegetables and then added some hand-pulled noodles to the pot of Lingquan water.

After all, time was limited, and it would be too late to knead the dough.

At this moment, Tian Laosi entered the courtyard. It was early in the morning, and the aroma of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes filled the courtyard.

Tian Laosi's stomach grumbled.

He swallowed hard, walked towards the kitchen, and said, 'Chen Zi, I've brought the bag you asked for. I'll be going now, but you can call me when you're ready to start working.'

Gu Chen was busy kneading the dough.

When she heard Tian Laosi was leaving, she hurriedly said, 'No, Fourth Brother, you've come all this way, don't go back. Let's start after breakfast.'

Tian Laosi didn't want to impose on Gu Chen's family.

Although the noodles made his mouth water just from the smell,

he still wanted to save face.

'No, no, your wife made them at home. I'll go back and eat them. It would be a waste if I don't.'

After saying that, Tian Laosi turned around and walked towards home.

Gu Chen didn't stop him either. After all, at this time, Tang Tang would be waking up soon, and he still had to finish packing the wolfberries after eating.

Back home, Tian Laosi found that Shen Cuilan's meal was also ready.

There were three steamed buns and a plate of pickles on the table, and the only boiled egg was for her son.

Tian Laosi sighed.

His mind was filled with the aroma of Gu Chen's home.

He sighed and picked up a steamed bun from the table and started to eat it.

'I'm not saying this to offend you, but at Chen's house, they have egg noodles for breakfast, and it smells so good.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the centre of the steamed bun was still cold.

Tian Laosi was so angry that he threw the steamed bun on the table. He was not to be blamed for being angry. The difference between the two meals was really too great. Shen Cuilan didn't do any housework either, and she just made the meals at home, and the meals were still like this.

She worked outside all day, and she didn't even get a decent meal. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

Yan Yan was just looking at the steamed bun on the table, worrying about it, when he heard that Gu Chenjia had made something delicious again, so he dropped his chopsticks and ran away.

He was going to Uncle Gu Chen's house for dinner, because Uncle Gu Chen's food was the best!

'Hey, where are you going?' Shen Cuilan shouted as she saw Yan Yan running away.

'I'm going to Uncle Gu Chen's house for dinner!'

The little guy ran really fast, and he was already in Uncle Gu Chen's courtyard before he finished speaking.

The family of three were eating noodles in the house when they saw Yan Yan run in. Tang Tang slurped up some noodles and licked the sauce from his mouth.

In a baby voice, she said, 'Brother Yanyan, the cartoon hasn't started yet.'

The little girl just thought that Yanyan had come to watch the cartoon.

Yanyan looked at Gu Chen apologetically and said, "Uncle, do you still count what you said yesterday?'

He really liked eating at Gu Chen's house.

Gu Chen had no idea what he had said.

He looked at Yanyan with curiosity, "As long as it's what I said, it definitely counts, but can you tell me, uncle...'

Before he could finish, he saw Tian Laosi chasing in with a red face.

Seeing Yan Yan, he said nothing and slapped him hard on the butt.

'You little brat, why are you so hopeless? Didn't your mother boil you an egg?'

Yan Yan was extremely aggrieved after receiving the slap, and tears fell down his face.

'That's different. You were sighing all by yourself at home! You even threw away the steamed buns, saying that Uncle Gu Chen's noodles smell better!'

Gu Chen now understood. So the child came to eat.

Tian Laosi's mood was now at an all-time low.

He rolled up his sleeves and scolded Yan Yan, 'I think you just need a beating!'

What kind of child is this, saying whatever to humiliate people.

Seeing that his father was going to hit him, Yan Yan was so scared that he hid behind Gu Chen. Gu Chen also hurriedly got in front of him, 'Fourth Brother, what's going on? There's plenty of food in the house. I just made it for you, but you went back again!'

After Gu Chen finished speaking, he glanced behind him at Yan Yan and said, 'I'll go serve your rice!'

Then he went to the kitchen and brought out a large bowl of extra noodles.

Since the floor-beating was all manual labour, Gu Chen was afraid that Tian Laosi would not be able to eat well, so he specially cooked some extra for him.

At this moment, he placed a large white porcelain bowl on the table and said, 'Fourth Brother, this is for you. I don't know if it's enough, if not, I'll go cook some more.'

He couldn't say anything else, but there were plenty of egg noodles at home.

Looking at the steaming noodles in the bowl, Tian Laosi was so touched.

Gu Chen is really good to himself.

If he gave it to someone else, I don't know how he would laugh at his family.

But Gu Chen not only didn't laugh, he was afraid that I wouldn't be full and cooked such a big bowl of noodles for himself.

There are also a lot of eggs on top!

What a good person.

He swallowed, 'Chenzi, you are really good to your brother. In the future, as long as it is your business, it will be my business, and I will never say no!'

People from the countryside are honest and straightforward.

Gu Chen treats me well, so I'll be honest with him!

Gu Chen smiled, 'Fourth Brother, eat first, or it'll get cold!'

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Yan Yan picked up his chopsticks and started eating from his father's bowl.

After a mouthful of egg noodles, the little guy was more than satisfied.

'Uncle Gu Chen, do you have a secret recipe for this dish?'

His mother also always makes egg noodles, but they are nothing compared to Uncle Gu Chen's!

They're not even close to being as delicious!

Gu Chen laughed, 'You little rascal, you're so full of compliments, hurry up and eat!'

After eating, Ji Bianran collected the bowls and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. With Yan Yan, Tang Tang also had a companion, and the two little ones had a great time playing hide-and-seek in the house.

Gu Chen led Tian Laosi into his house.

'Look, Laosi, this is the house. There's nothing here, it's empty. Just go ahead and do what you need to do!'

He pointed to the electric drill, pickaxe handle, and hoe in the corner.

'Laosi, all the tools are here. As for bricks, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to buy some. I really don't have the time.'

He still had to work on the wolfberry business today.

After saying this, Gu Chen took out 50 yuan from his pocket.

'Please take this to buy bricks.'

Gu Chen didn't know how much money was needed to buy bricks, and was afraid that if he gave too little, Tian Laosi would be embarrassed again.

Seeing the 50 yuan in Gu Chen's hand, Tian Laosi hurriedly pushed it back.

'What's this for? I have the money to buy bricks!'

A cartload of bricks was only worth 20 yuan, and half a cart was only worth a little over 10 yuan.

Gu Chen had been so kind to him, so it was only right that he should pay for the bricks himself!

There was no point in taking money before the work had even started!

Seeing that he didn't want it, Gu Chen stuffed the money into Tian Laosi's trouser pocket.

'Fourth Brother, you get paid more if you do more, not less if you do less. There's no point in working for free!'
