Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

"I understand you, but isn't it too difficult for you to study in these ruins with your two children?"

Gu Zhaocheng pointed to the "skylight" on the roof of Chen's house and said.

This has always been a trendy architectural style. Since the "skylight" was opened, the lighting in the house has gone up to more than one level.

If it were Gu Zhaocheng, he would be willing to go out and find a place to study by himself without disturbing others.

Xingjie also had ready-made conditions. He had his own house. Although it was a little dilapidated and could not provide shelter from wind and rain, it was still a private space.

"Brother, everything is fine here..." Xingjie said with a blushing face, his explanation a little pale.

There was wind leaking everywhere, and there was ice and snow in the house. It couldn't be described as a good word.

"Don't be so embarrassed. I won't tell my parents. I just came here to see if I can help you or something."

Gu Zhaocheng comforted Xingjie and said.

What Xingjie is most worried about is that Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua cannot know about this matter, otherwise they will feel unhappy that Xingjie is a heretic and does not take care of the Gu family.

Since Gu Zhaocheng has caused trouble like Gu Zhaoxi to Xingjie.

In order not to delay Xingjie's performance, we must also create better learning conditions for Xingjie.

To make up for it, Xingjie brings one more influence to the efficiency.

Xingjie took Fengqin out of his own free will. Fengqin was not a family member, so Gu Zhaocheng didn't need to be responsible. But with Gu Zhaoxi, Gu Zhaocheng should still do something to help.

"I don't need any help."

This is Xingjie's habitual answer recently. Ever since his father died and his mother ran away, he has started not to like causing trouble to himself or others.

"Why is there nothing to help? Even if your house is not renovated, the raised roof, broken doors and windows, and the air leakage from all sides must be fixed."

Gu Zhaocheng came here because he was thinking about Xingjie and wanted to take his two children to study here.

I just helped to clean up the Chen family's house.

Xingjie is the only one left in the Chen family. He is about to go to college and is short of money. Of course, it is not worth renovating the home.

But even without spending money, the condition of the Chen family's house can also be improved.

In fact, this kind of brick and wood structure house is quite simple to repair.

Originally, if someone's house in the forest farm broke down or leaked, I basically had to repair it myself. At most, I would get help from someone I had good connections with.

It's just that Xingjie's survival ability is not good at the moment and he has no life skills, so there is absolutely nothing he can do with this old house.

"Isn't this too much trouble?"

"It's no trouble, it will be handled soon. Just wait here, I'll go home and get some tools."

After looking at the existing resources of the Chen family, there were only some scattered tiles that were usually used for repairs. Gu Zhaocheng planned to go back to the house and bring some things over.

The roof needs to be repaired properly, missing purlins patched up and tiles fastened.

There are not enough materials, so we can just dismantle it in the Chen family kitchen room.

This kitchen room is gone anyway, there is no chance to use it again.

After the roof of the kitchen room was vacant, the roof of the back room was patched up.

The rest was around the house. Whether it was the door or the door leading to the inner room, they were all too close to the stove where the fire started. They were all badly burned and were no longer usable.

In these places, Xingjie can use his own shabby quilts and simply modify them by hanging a curtain.

The windows are also broken a lot. If you don’t have glass and are too lazy to buy it, you can use transparent plastic film.

Closing the leaky windows will suffice for a while.

Twenty years ago, many rural areas used this method.

If one layer is not thick enough, you can also use double layers, which will keep you warm and windproof.

As for the Chen family's wires that were burned out and the power was cut off, there was no electricity.

Gu Zhaocheng didn't care. The three of them had enough time to study during the day.

In addition to reading at night with a small light bulb of several tens of watts, it is still a bit too harmful to the eyes.

He also tidied up the Chen family's house so well that he seemed to be in a hurry to show off his family.

Xingjie was also a very sensitive person. In order to prevent Xingjie from thinking too much, Gu Zhaocheng simply did not do anything that could easily lead to misunderstanding.

After spending two days piecemeal, I cleaned up the Chen family's house.

The Chen family has enough for the time being and supports Xingjie in taking Feng Qin Zhaoxi to study.

If there is any damage, it can be repaired at any time.

Xingjie might only stay at the forest farm for half a year, or even a year and a half at most, and he wouldn't be able to fix the situation a few times.

Because the kang cannot be heated, it will be too cold to sleep in this room at night.

But it’s no problem to light the brazier during the day and refill the firewood at any time so that you can study without freezing your hands.

If the temperature is not enough, consider lighting more fire pots.

Chen Xingjie’s father, Chen Shangyou, is also a very diligent man.

The accident only happened after it snowed and entered winter.

Whatever the Chen family lacks, they will not lack firewood.

As long as the family members are not lazy, every household in the Northeast has enough firewood to burn at least one or two years.

Therefore, the Chen family's firewood reserves are quite abundant.

Even if Xingjie has to stay in the forest farm for two years, the firewood will be enough for Xingjie to burn as he pleases.

The time after that is very close to the New Year, and every household, including the forest farm, is preparing for the New Year.

The forest farm is very poor. It may be that there is no balance at all and no funds in the account. It would be interesting to provide benefits to employees during the New Year.

Qin Yan kept asking Gu Zhaocheng and other temporary workers to process wood in the field.

After selling some, it would be a good idea for the employees.

It has also been a tradition of units like the forest farm for many years to distribute benefits during festivals.

If it is canceled suddenly, employees will not let Qin Yan go easily.

There was no way Gu Changshan would take the blame for Qin Yan in this kind of thing.

If everyone is given something worth tens of dollars, they can throw it away.

Qin Yan still knows the importance of things. Qin Yan would not offend any of his employees when the cost was small and the benefits were few.

Moreover, people like Qin Yan, who are politically mature and flexible, will inevitably have to move their relationships as the Spring Festival approaches.

This aspect is actually a big spender.

When hunting was possible in the past, the forest farm had no shortage of things to give away.

But in this day and age, you can’t just give away mushrooms, fungus, and walnuts.

Although the items are all good, they can all be regarded as treasures.

But in the forestry system, these things are really too common.

If you don't cherish something enough, you won't be sincere when you move around.

No forest farm is short of these things, and no one can fool people with them.

After selling part of the wood, the forest farm had some money and distributed some pork, rice, and peanut oil to the employees.

The forest farm also had the Spring Festival holiday and entered the state of celebrating the new year.

Gu Zhaocheng's work was not in vain. I also received a share of employee benefits during the Chinese New Year.

Although this benefit may not be solely due to Gu Zhaocheng's efforts.

Some people have Gu Changshan's face, so Qin Yan always points to Gu Changshan for his efforts in production, giving Gu Changshan face, and also giving a share to Gu Zhaocheng.

But no matter what, Gu Zhaocheng has been taking classes for more than a month, so he deserves it. It didn't feel bad to hold it. They were given out at the venue, and Gu Zhaocheng took the things home.

The old Gu family was still quite poor. Even the poor people set off firecrackers during the New Year, and Gu Changshan was reluctant to buy longer ones.

I still need these tens of dollars worth of stuff.

In the past few years, although Lao Gu's family was poor, it had never been so difficult.

Except for spending some money on Feng Qin and Xingjie in the past few months.

When people live in the Gu family, the Gu family doesn't just give them food.

In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, we try our best to take care of everything.

In addition, the prices of goods are getting higher and higher nowadays, and the price is almost the same every year.

Ordinary vegetable prices, rice prices, and meat prices fluctuate by 10%, which is a terrible thing for the Gu family.

Furthermore, the forest farm's harvesting volume this year is really not much, and Gu Changshan's salary is not as good as in previous years.

Even if Gu Zhaocheng's salary was supplemented, it would not be enough.

The decrease in income, the increase in prices, and the increase in population have brought the economy of Lao Gu's family to its most impoverished period.

The family is not without food, but the income cannot make ends meet, and the family has to live on the bottom line. For ordinary people, life has become unbearable.

"Zhaoxi, we won't go to other people's homes to celebrate the New Year today. Big brother will take you to the small shop to buy some firecrackers. Let's go set off firecrackers."

The forest farm celebrates the New Year. For the Gu family, this year is still a bit monotonous.

I have only lived here for so many years, so there are definitely no large-scale events.

Just eat something good, take a rest, and then visit each other.

Those with relatives walked around, while those without relatives just stayed in the forest farm, drinking, playing cards and bragging.

This kind of Spring Festival is actually more traditional, and it is already quite festive.

It's just that this year, the old Gu family is not welcome in the forest farm.

Not to mention that the previous guests were all gone, and even when they went out, they were not liked by anyone.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Zhaocheng took his little brother out. After encountering a few cold faces, he was not ready to wish these people any new year.

Immediately prepare to cancel this event.

Looking at the cold faces of these people, caring about this face is of no use.

These people have been suspended without pay and have little say in the forest farm.

Just working as tool men to support Gu Changshan's rise to power, these laid-off people barely mattered.

Since these had a bad attitude towards the Gu family, Gu Zhaocheng didn't bother to deal with them.

"Okay, brother, let's set off firecrackers!" Gu Zhaoxi said overjoyed that he got an advantage.

Few boys can resist such a thing as setting off cannons.

Not to mention that a naughty and restless child like Gu Zhaoxi couldn't resist temptation.

When there is snow, setting off firecrackers is also quite interesting.

When you go to the river, you can also cut through the ice, and there is water, so it will be more fun.

Fried snow buns and fish ponds are both fun things to do.

That is to say, there are no large livestock such as cattle and horses in the forest farm.

Otherwise, fried cow dung is also a part of childhood that many children have not missed.

At the forest farm, there were still some New Year greeting activities on the first day of the new year.

After the first year of junior high school, it can be said that most of the social activities are gone.

There are no locals here at the forest farm. Workers are recruited from outside.

There are no relatives or friends nearby, and without the link of visiting relatives and friends, I feel completely at ease.

It is definitely a joy to play, and both adults and children can have a complete relaxation.

The adults drank and played cards, while the children skied.

Although this kind of Spring Festival is simple, it is still very happy.

Most people will be satisfied if they can eat, drink and play.

Most people who can stay in the mountains with peace of mind have little ambition.

In fact, he belongs to a group of people who are very able to live in peace with poverty.

As long as these people can survive, they don't have high requirements in other aspects.

The few who were dissatisfied all went to work outside the country after the layoff list came out.

People who live close by, such as those who went to Bianhe, returned to the forest farm during the Chinese New Year. After the Lantern Festival, I will go out again.

Some people who went out to work went away directly, and some never came back to celebrate the New Year at all.

I've only been out for two months, and I still can't make much money. My job is just stable and I'm just starting out.

After I can't afford to go far, I just take a cheap train, which easily costs several hundred yuan for a train ticket.

After the Spring Festival, Gu Zhaocheng returned to the mountains to work as a ranger.

The small-scale timber sales at Sandaogou Forest Farm have come to an end.

The Northeast warms up late, and only some evergreen trees are green.

The entire forest is basically still bare.

Before the snow melted, Gu Zhaocheng was not busy for the time being.

So after entering the mountains, I trained and raised the two dogs.

When Gu Zhaocheng bought it, the dog was almost one month old.

When I first bought it, I fed it milk powder for a while.

Now two months have passed. A three-month-old native dog is actually considered a half-grown dog.

It’s basically the best time for training. The average IQ of native dogs may not be as good as some breeds of dogs.

But there are only a few dog breeds that are smarter than native dogs.

Seriously speaking, native dogs are still smarter than most dogs.

Not to mention in terms of personality, his down-to-earth, loyal and settled nature is better than at least 90% of dogs.

In terms of smell, because the dogs here have hunting dog genes, they are even more excellent.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Zhaocheng, in addition to training the dog's obedience, also began to train the dog to find medicinal materials.

There was nothing going on in the woods. Gu Zhaocheng had time to go home and take a look when he had nothing to do.

Then when I was waiting to go back again, I found that there was another child at home.

"Brother, this is Liu Ziqiang. He will live in our house from now on."

Gu Zhaoxi hugged a child next to him who was similar to himself and introduced Gu Zhaocheng.

"Brother." The child next to him showed a smile and shouted sweetly after Gu Zhaoxi.

"It's not like I don't know him, so I don't need you to help me introduce him. Children of 945, you used to bully others, but you can't bully others in the future."

Gu Zhaocheng first looked back at Zhaoxi and said. Joking with Gu Zhaoxi to prevent the other child from getting too nervous.

Although it was a joke, saying that Gu Zhaocheng bullied people was a bit excessive, but it was also true that Gu Zhaoxi had always been against this child before.

There are two work teams in one forest farm. They are naturally competitive, and the children will inevitably be affected. (End of chapter)
