Reborn in 1977

Chapter 208: Feeling Useless

After dividing the money and giving out the gifts, this "temporary production cooperative" was temporarily declared disbanded, waiting for the next opportunity to regroup.

At this time, Master Liu also came out from the backyard, and Yang Ju saw the movement and quickly reported it.

Chen Fan waved his hand, "Withdraw."

He took the lead and slipped out.

Seeing him deliberately pretending to be sneaky, the four girls couldn't help but chuckle and ran back to their rooms, giggling.

Master Liu turned the corner and hadn't even reached the door of Chen Fan's room when he shouted loudly, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen."

Chen Fan quickly came out, "Master Liu."

At the same time, he took out a cigarette and handed one over.

Master Liu took the cigarette, leaned over to the match Chen Fan struck, lit it, took a puff, and then pointed to the backyard and said seriously, "That little horse, haven't you ever brushed its coat?"

Chen Fan opened his mouth wide, "Uh…"

Master Liu curled his lips, "That means you haven't."

Jiang Lili heard the movement and immediately walked out, whispering, "I used straw to brush the little horse's coat."

Master Liu glanced at her, nodded slightly, but said to Chen Fan, "You don't know anything about taking care of livestock, that won't do. When you have time, you go find me, and I'll tell you all about how to raise and protect horses.

Back then, I also took care of warhorses with the army. If you want to raise these two horses well, listen to me more, and you definitely won't go wrong. Take brushing the horse as an example, you need at least three kinds of brushes, a hard-bristled brush, a soft-bristled brush, and a hoof pick to brush the hooves…"

Chen Fan listened carefully, learning humbly.

In Master Liu's words, as long as he raises horses, these things are hard knowledge, and he will definitely use them, so of course he must learn them carefully.

Master Liu gave a long, impassioned speech, and at the end, he suddenly threw the cigarette butt into the corner, "That's it, you come with me to the stable, and I'll get you a set of brushes."

Chen Fan was about to speak when Huang Ying, who had rushed out upon hearing the sound, said, "Grandpa Liu, I'll go get them with you."

Then she looked at Chen Fan and smiled, "Teacher Chen, I'll go home, I'll be back later."

Liu Dan and Yang Ju also looked at Chen Fan together, "Teacher Chen, I'll also ask for leave."

Chen Fan waved his hand with a smile, "It's okay, go ahead."

After a pause, he smiled again, "Don't even mention asking for leave, as long as it's not study time, you can all move freely and do whatever you want."

The three girls nodded together, and then walked towards the donkey cart.

They were helping Master Liu drive the donkey cart back, and they could also take a ride, and then walk back together later.

Master Liu looked at the three little girls with his hands behind his back, and then turned back to look at Chen Fan meaningfully.

Chen Fan was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

"Ah."

Master Liu looked up at the sky, shook his head, "It's nothing, just… ah, that's right."

He pointed to the back again, "You have to take good care of that horse, at least feed it two handfuls of soybeans every other day, preferably at night. A horse won't get fat without night grazing, so you have to feed the horse less and more often, so it can grow well."

Saying that, he waved his hand, "I'm leaving."

Then he walked towards the mule cart with his hands behind his back, and then waved his whip to drive it out.

After they all left, Chen Fan and Jiang Lili almost simultaneously let out a long sigh.

The two looked at each other, Chen Fan was fine, but Jiang Lili suddenly blushed.

Chen Fan chuckled softly, "Suddenly a few people came, not used to it, right?"

Jiang Lili wrinkled her nose, "Too unaccustomed to it."

Now she only shows her true nature in front of Chen Fan. It's just a pity that from the second year of junior high school until now, Huang Ying and the others have almost always been there, and they rarely even go home. Even if they occasionally go back, it's when Chen Fan is at work, just to pick up something and come over.

It's been half a month, and this is the first time the two of them have been alone.

Chen Fan clapped his hands and chuckled dryly twice, "Oh, this is living under someone else's roof, unable to control oneself."

Jiang Lili pursed her lips, looked at him and asked, "Xiao Fan, you made so much money today, do you want to build a house first?"

In the past half month, with the help of Yang Ju and the others, and taking advantage of the fact that the grass and trees are withered and easy to remove in winter, Chen Fan has cleared a piece of land on the top of the slope, enough area to build a house. Moreover, Chen Fan also burned several kilns of blue bricks, of which about two thousand can be used. After burning a few more kilns, he can build the first brick house in Team 6 of Lujiawan.

But thinking that Chen Fan was going to move away, Jiang Lili felt a little empty in her heart.

When he lived here, they could meet often, but if he moved away, she really didn't know how long it would be before they could meet again.

As a result, Chen Fan said without hesitation, "Don't worry, it's not time yet."

Hearing this, Jiang Lili was immediately filled with joy, and at the same time very curious, "Why?"

If there are conditions, who wouldn't want to live in a new house, or a beautiful and spacious brick house?!

Chen Fan shrugged and smiled, "If it's just building an ordinary house, then I might as well just live here. Anyway, there's no rent, and you guys help with cooking and washing clothes, how comfortable is that, why move away?"

Jiang Lili looked at him and couldn't help but pout reproachfully, "Annoying."

Then she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Before Huang Ying and the others came, except for Chen Fan's clothes being washed by himself and the quilt being folded by himself, Jiang Lili did all the other sweeping and cooking.

After Huang Ying and the others came, they immediately took away a large part of the work, and even Chen Fan's clothes were snatched by them to wash. Now, the only things Chen Fan does himself are making the bed and folding the quilt. She felt that her role seemed to have been weakened a lot.

But now Chen Fan's life is really not much different from that of a landlord in the decades before.

After a pause of two seconds, Jiang Lili suddenly reacted, looked at Chen Fan curiously and asked, "You want to build an unusual house, what kind of house is that?"

Chen Fan touched his head, "Oh, this is a long story, how about it, I have to build a building with running water and a bathroom, right?"

Jiang Lili chuckled, just about to speak, and then chuckled non-stop.

Chen Fan smacked his lips and looked at her with a smile, "What, don't believe it?"

Jiang Lili smiled, "That's impossible, there's no running water in the village, where did you get the running water?"

Chen Fan clapped his hands and smiled confidently, "It's okay, the conditions are like this, it's normal if you don't believe it."

Then he squinted at her, "Then if I really get running water, what will you say?"

"Um…"

Jiang Lili tilted her head, puffed up her goldfish cheeks, blinked her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly shook her head with a grin, "Then I'll count you as awesome."

Chen Fan was speechless, "Why have you become so smart, you don't even dare to gamble."

Jiang Lili covered her mouth and chuckled, "I won't bet with you, you must be waiting for me to jump into the pit."

At the same time, she was also curious about what Chen Fan could do to get running water in the new house.

Modified many times, Chapter 205 finally sees the light of day again. Although there are three or four hundred words less, it does not affect the main plot, but only a little less sharp things. -_- | |
