Gu Qingyao looked around and said, “The two of you can start repairing the house. I will clear the grass.”
Gu Qingyao put down the stuff in her hand and went to get a knife. However, she was immediately stopped by Mo Beihan.
“You don’t need to do anything. What if you cut your hand? Bring Xiaocao to the side.”
He took a glimpse at Mo Chengxu and Mo Chengrui, “The two of you and Goudan, clean the yard.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
The three people, “…”
Gu Qingyao was stunned.
Besides Mo Beihan and Wang Qingshan, she was the oldest here. He was asking her to take care of Chen Xiaocao and let the three younger boys to work?
Mo Beihan was very stubborn. He totally did not allow Gu Qingyao to do any work. How would he let his Yao Yao do such a tiring job?
Though the girls in this generation had to do some work, she should do as little work as possible.
The three boys looked at each other. They did not dare to disobey Mo Beihan’s order. Mo Beihan and Wang Qingshan then went to get dry grass. The three boys cleaned the yard. Gu Qingyao and Chen Xiaocao stared at them at the side.
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Chen Goudan walked past her and winked at her with a smile. That smile…
Gu Qingyao rubbed her nose. Fine, she would not do anything here. She went back to get a sewing bag and sewed some clothes.
Chen Xiaocao’s eyes sparkled when she saw it.
Gu Qingyao smiled, “Do you want to learn?”
Chen Xiaocao lifted up her head to look at Gu Qingyao and nodded, “Yes!”
No one would help to sew their clothes when they were torn. Only when sometimes their neighbours would help them out of sympathy. If she knew how to sew, she would not need to trouble others.
“Come over, I’ll teach you!”
She passed her a piece of cloth and taught her how to push through a thread into a needle. It seemed that the children in the countryside learned really fast. Though Chen Xiaocao was only six, she observed how others sew. She did not even need to be taught how to handle the thread and the needle.
With two spare pieces of cloth, Gu Qingyao slowly taught her how to sew and fix a hole.
The sun rose slowly. Gu Qingyao sat on a stone in the yard. Chen Xiaocao stood in front of her as she was shorter. Both of them were holding needles and thread. Gu Qingyao’s smile on her face was the best scenery for Mo Beihan.
The house was not big and did not require much dry grass. Mo Beihan and Wang Qingshan only took less than a morning to fix the roof.
The children in the yard also cleaned half of the area. Gu Qingyao then started to prepare for lunch.
She did not go home as everyone here was to help Chen Goudan fix his house. It was easier for them to eat lunch here. But she knew that Chen Goudan did not have much food so both her and Mo Beihan came prepared.
Gu Qingyao smiled when she saw a chicken in Mo Beihan’s basket.
Mo Beihan smiled and said, “Cook the chicken for the children.”
Then his Yao Yao would be able to eat more as well.
Gu Qingyao raised her head and smiled generously.
The chicken was cleaned and can be boiled directly. Wang Qingshan smiled when he saw the chicken and shouted, “So glad I’m here today. I get to eat meat with Beihan!”
