Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

What Gu Huanxi said was a bit of joy in hardship, but it also made some sense. Indeed, the Qiao family took over the old Xu family's mess, which can be regarded as taking on part of the pressure for them.

However, Xu Huaiyi sneered and said, "It's just temporary, the calm before the storm. The more the Qiao family pays, the greater the demands will be in the future. We might cause some trouble for us to clean up..."

If it hadn't been for the extermination of the clan, he would have really wanted to persuade Uncle Xu to drive that family away.

Gu Huanxi sighed, "So, if you want to solve it completely, you still have to eliminate the clan."

Just severing the relationship is not enough. If you commit a major crime in the future and implicate the three clans, they will be implicated.

Xu Huaiyi said, "I think so too, but it's not the right time yet. Even if we plan ahead, we still have to have enough reasons, otherwise it will be bullying others."

"Then we still have to wait for the opportunity?"

"Um……"

Gu Huanxi reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth and changed the topic, "The Qiao family has left people at Lao Xu's house to serve them. They should also be monitoring them, and maybe they are also monitoring us."

Xu Huaiyi said depressedly, "Not only surveillance, but also some teasing from time to time to brainwash them so that they remember the benefits of the Qiao family and be ready to serve as a pawn for the Qiao family at any time. My biological father prides himself on being smart and knowing how to calculate people's hearts. Could it be that Can’t you see this?”

He asked and answered himself, with a cold and sarcastic tone, "He saw it and understood it very well. He was just reluctant to give up the benefits given by the Qiao family and wanted to risk everything. Therefore, no matter what miserable end the old Xu family ended up with, It’s all your own fault, no one needs to feel guilty.”

It's not because he was stupid and was deceived and exploited, but because he knew that the road ahead was dangerous, but he coveted wealth and power. If he lost, he deserved it and was not worthy of sympathy at all.

Gu Huanxi nodded. She had no sympathy in the first place. She chose the path she took, so shouldn't she bear all the consequences in the future?
She turned around and said, "Xu Huaili took a big bag of money and went to the village chief to approve the foundation. He bought ten acres. He said he would find someone to build a house at the beginning of the new year. The five-story house will be bigger than us, and he vowed to beat us. I wanted to buy a field, but there was no more land around me, so I gave up.”

Xu Huaiyi mocked, "Let him dance around and use the money from selling his sister to show off. It's a shame he has the face."

After a pause, he laughed at himself and said, "How could he be so shameless? Aren't I a lesson learned from the past? When he sold me for fifty taels and built five brick houses, the villagers pointed their fingers at him. Who among them felt ashamed?" I think it’s glorious, now I’m repeating my old tricks, and I’m going to make five moves, haha, I’m getting more breathy.”

"Okay, don't be angry..."

"I'm not angry, I just can't stand sucking other people's blood to support myself."

"Xu Honglian is not you. It seems she is willing. Oh, aren't you willing now? Are you aggrieved by following me? Do you regret it?"

Faced with the proposition, Xu Huaiyi remained calm and said seriously, "How is that possible? No matter in the previous life or in this life, I will only take your cup of water. I will never have a second choice, my wife. You can’t accuse me wrongly!”

Gu Huanxi laughed and didn't talk to him about it anymore. They were an old couple and they had known each other for a long time. She had never doubted him. She just said, "Do you have any extra cards?" ? Didn’t you say you wanted to send some to Mr. Jiang?”

Xu Huaiyi agreed enthusiastically and told her about the newly fired ceramic toilet and the complete shower device, "You really can't underestimate today's craftsmen. Although the conditions are backward, the craftsmanship is not bad at all. The things I made are not inferior to those of later generations at all. They are just simpler in shape, not so many tricks, but do not affect use, and the quality is reliable. I have already ordered my servants to start work as soon as possible. However, it is not easy to dig the soil at the moment, so I am afraid it will cost more. Give it some time..."

"Are Su Zhe satisfied?"

"Well, I'm satisfied, but since I haven't personally experienced the convenience of those things, it still lacks some meaning. We still have to hurry up here..."

"You just have to figure it out, I can't help you."

"You don't need to worry about it. I've made all the arrangements. You can just move in next year. I've redesigned and renovated the toilet and bathroom. I've also tidied up the yard a little. There's also a study room and so on. According to you I have also made some adjustments according to Xiaoyu’s preferences, and I will keep it to your satisfaction.”

"Thanks for your hard work……"

Next, Xu Huaiyi really worked hard for a few days, running back and forth between the academy and the new house. He couldn't let go of his homework in the academy. Sun Yu also paid close attention to his daily martial arts practice progress. He was also very self-disciplined and did not dare to make any mistakes. Lazy, after all, the competition is fierce, and he is not so confident that he feels superior to others just because he is a time traveler. In terms of martial arts talent, he is not as good as Li Yunting, in terms of physical advantages, he is not as good as Zhao Sanyou, and in terms of hard work, he is not as good as him. Meng Ping, so he no longer hides his clumsiness, and has to practice humbly in order to remain among the top three in the class.

Fortunately, the top three in their class are also the top three in their entire D-shaped class, which is not a shame. Based on their current abilities, they will be promoted to Class C after the new year.

After studying at the college, I was busy renovating my new house. The shower room was relatively easy to install. Just lay the drainage pipes. The toilet would have to dig a pool, and there were many details that needed to be dealt with. Xu Huaiyi had renovated dry toilets in rural areas in his previous life. Although he had experience, the various construction tools were lagging behind and it took him several days to complete the project.

By the time he finished the work, it was already New Year's Eve and the college was on holiday. However, a few classmates were curious and went to the new house to have a look and experience it in person, and then they were conquered.

Convenience is one, and the other is cleanness, especially the renovated toilet. When a few people walked in, they didn't even realize it was a toilet. It was really elegantly decorated, with two small rooms inside and outside, and a sink in the outside. The pool hewn from a single piece of stone is simple and natural. On the shelves next to it are soaps, towels and other items. There is also a vase of plum blossoms for decoration, and there are even a few paintings hanging on the wall.

As for the inner room, the most intuitive feeling is that it is simple and clean. The toilet and urinal are made of snow-white ceramics, the walls are covered with colorful stones, and the floor is made of regular blue bricks. In addition, the inside of the house is There are no extra things. Oh, there is also a wooden box for paper, hanging on the wall. It is easy to take out. There is no smell in the whole room.

As for the satisfaction after use, it is immediately filled up. Just rinse it with water and it will be clean. It will not be buried or embarrassed, and it can maintain the dignity of the rich to the greatest extent.

Let me ask, who doesn’t want a set?
Except for Meng Ping, everyone else placed the order on the spot. The price was not cheap, but this was a one-time investment that would benefit them for life. They were still willing to spend this small amount of money.

Of course Xu Huaiyi would not refuse anyone who came, but he was looking at the Chinese New Year and would have to wait until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to start work. It would also take time to bake those things, so he was not in a hurry.

But Su Zhe was anxious. Now that he was showing more and more face in front of the second prince, it meant that he was valued more and more. This was a good thing, but it also meant pressure. He didn't dare to get carried away in the slightest. On the contrary, he would do better than before. He worked harder on his errands, so he had a prototype of the new toilet and shower room. He couldn't wait until after the New Year to start it, so he begged Xu Huaiyi to help him.

Xu Huaiyi only agreed to lend him people to work on the second prince's house. He himself did not want to get involved. He could be on good terms with Su Zhe, but he could not have too much contact with the second prince.

Su Zhe also understood, so he was not demanding. As long as he agreed to lend him the money, he would be satisfied.

He took away seven or eight of Xu Huaiyi's servants and gave him two large boxes of books, most of which were not available on the market. They were rare and unique books, but they were not genuine, they were hand-copied. Xu Huaiyi didn't care about this. If he found a treasure, he happily took it back to Hutian Village.

Because today is the New Year's Day, the college has suspended classes at noon. If Xu Huaiyi hadn't taken his classmates to the new house to experience the new toilet, he would have come back long ago. It's not too late to get home now. It's still bright. As soon as he entered As soon as I walked into the village, I heard the joyful and festive nursery rhymes.

"Children, don't be greedy. After Laba Festival, it's New Year. How many days do you drink Laba porridge? Twenty-three. Twenty-three, sticky melons; twenty-four, sweep the house; twenty-five, grind tofu; twenty-three. Six, stew the meat; twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; twenty-eight, make the noodles; twenty-nine, steam the steamed buns; stay up all night on the thirtieth night; and take a walk on New Year’s Day.”

Of course, Gu Xiaoyu was not among the children singing nursery rhymes. Instead, there was the grandson of the village chief. Uncle Xu and the grandson of the village chief's uncle were also there. When they saw Xu Huaiyi, they all crowded around and shouted. He was talking to "Uncle Xu" and was chattering very warmly and intimately. Everyone knows that Xu Huaiyi loves his children, and they felt it when he was fleeing the famine. He set up temporary classes and told them stories. After settling in the capital, he invested money to build a school so that they could have a future, and gave them the opportunity to work-study. Zhuangzi helps out by doing whatever work he can to earn money. Therefore, the favorite person among the children in the village is Xu Huaiyi.

Xu Huaiyi responded happily without any impatience. He took out two packs of snacks from the car and distributed them to all the children.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu!"

"Uncle Xu is the best!"

"When I become successful in the future, I will also respect Uncle Xu."

"Me too……"

In addition to the children, adults also gathered around to say hello. Xu Huaiyi got out of the car, greeted everyone one by one, and chatted with everyone, looking at ease and approachable, without any airs.

The villagers were very excited and treated him more and more enthusiastically.

From entering the village to the foot of the mountain, it was a short journey of less than half an hour. When I got home, I showed off to Gu Huanxi, "Being too popular is also a sweet burden. From the entrance of the village to our home, I followed at least a hundred people. I said something..."

Gu Huanxi handed him a cup of hot tea, "Drink some water to moisten your throat."

Xu Huaiyi drank it all with a smile, picked up his daughter, played with her, kissed her for a while, and asked, "Where's the little fish?"

Gu Huanxi looked through the two boxes of books he brought back and said without raising his head, "I'm still taking classes at Mr. Jiang's place."

Xu Huaiyi twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's Xiaonian today, it's not even a holiday? Mr. Jiang is really diligent, didn't you send him playing cards?"

"Sent them away a long time ago." Gu Huanxi couldn't move when she saw the books, especially because these books were not available at home. She was even more excited, and even talking to Xu Huaiyi was a bit perfunctory.

"It seems that playing cards are not attractive enough to Mr. Jiang. Tsk, thank you for your hard work, little fish..." Xu Huaiyi sighed in a serious tone and stood up with his daughter in his arms. "You can sort it out. I'll pick up my son. I'll give it to you by the way." My son is on leave for the Chinese New Year, and other people’s children are running around and playing outside, but ours still has to study, which is too unfair.”

Gu Huanxi raised his head and glared at him with a smile, "You feel aggrieved, right? Xiaoyu himself didn't complain about anything. Forget it, you can go. But in addition to asking for leave, please also invite Mr. Jiang to come to your house for dinner. Today is Xiaoyu, he There is no other place to go, it will be more lively if we celebrate the festival together, I have already asked Wei Ci to cook more dishes, and also arranged a small hot pot. "

Xu Huaiyi readily agreed.

He wrapped his daughter in a cloak and carried her to Jiang's house. Gu Xiaoyu was also getting ready to finish class. When she saw him, there was a hint of surprise on her steady face. Her eyes were as bright as stars, which made people feel happy. soft.

"Dad..." Gu Xiaoyu stepped forward and saluted.

Xu Huaiyi responded cheerfully and rubbed his head. His movements were not very gentle, but extremely intimate and natural. People who didn't know would never think that there was actually no blood relationship between the two.

When Ah Li saw Gu Xiaoyu, she stretched out her hands excitedly, her short legs flailing in an awkward manner, wanting to run towards her brother's arms.

Gu Xiaoyu smiled with an endearing look on his face and reached out to take it naturally. He liked to hold his sweet-smelling and soft sister. As long as he was at home, his sister's personal maids could not snatch her away from him.

Except for my biological father.

Xu Huaiyi was reluctant to let go. He even asked his daughter resentfully, "Ah Li, don't you like daddy?"

Ah Li didn't know whether he understood it or not. He blinked his big eyes, looked at this and then that, sucked his fingers, and didn't know what to do.

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

The joy of meeting her biological father has been compromised. Who asked her father to come back and compete with him for favor in front of her sister?

It's the one he can't compete with.

Jiang Yong watched the interaction between the three men and couldn't help but smile and joke a few words, with a lot of envy in his tone.

Xu Huaiyi smiled and came forward to greet him. After chatting for a few words, he extended an invitation to go to his home to celebrate the festival together.

Jiang Yong only hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and asked the old servant to bring a jar of good wine, and then they went to Gu's house together.

Gu Huanxi had already prepared the meal. As soon as everyone arrived, he served it to the table. There was no delicacy from the mountains and seas, but it was full of the smoke of the world. There was a small hot pot in the middle. It was steaming and full of aroma, which made people's hearts sing. Gentleness and softness are no longer just a formality for festivals, but have more affection and warmth.

Men and women did not need to separate tables, they sat down one by one. Jiang Yong was the oldest. After saying a few opening remarks, everyone started using their chopsticks. During the dinner, there was no rule of not eating or talking. Xu Huaiyi accompanied Jiang Yong and chatted all over the world. Huan, the only regret is that Dr. Jiao failed to come back from Dengzhou. The epidemic there has been brought under control, but it snowed several times in a row, making travel difficult, and those who went to rescue were forced to stay there to celebrate the New Year. By the way, let’s wrap up the aftermath.

Because of this, the rewards from the imperial court have not been distributed for a long time. The person involved is not here, so who should the rewards be given to?

However, the Sun family had privately revealed to Xu Huaiyi that the prescription given by Gu Huanxi had a great effect. The imperial edict was stable, but other rewards were arbitrary, mostly gold, silver, silk and the like.

After the meal, Xu Huaiyi and Jiang Yong went to the study to continue chatting, and they also brought Gu Xiaoyu with them. This time they talked about the affairs of the court. Xu Huaiyi asked for advice if he didn't understand something, and he didn't beat around the bush. He was very sincere. Jiang Yong helped He was willing to answer questions without hiding his secrets. In fact, when faced with Xu Huaiyi's ability to draw inferences from one example, his side of being a teacher was aroused, and he wanted to teach others everything he had.

When leaving, Gu Huanxi asked Wei Liang to send the festive gifts prepared early in the morning to Jiang's house.

And Xu Huaiyi sent Jiang Yong out and invited him to play cards. Wasn't he on vacation? He could take some time to play every day.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yong agreed immediately. (End of chapter)
