"Zhaocheng, you can go out too, we can stay inside."

Gu Zhaocheng didn't even bring a few dishes of water, so all the open fires in the room were put out, and then he was kicked out.

Things like fires need to be handled quickly. If handled slowly, it may get out of control.

Gu Zhaocheng is still young and has not participated in work, so he is not regarded as a person who can take on tasks.

"Dad, it's almost over here. Thanks to everyone's timely arrival, only Xingjie's house collapsed and there were no other losses."

The houses here are still in the old-fashioned style. In addition to the wooden doors and windows, the roof is also made of wooden beams and purlins.

Once the fire is really burning, nothing will be left in the house except a few bricks.

Because the neighbors saved it in time, the general structure of Chen Xingjie's house is still intact.

Only the doors and windows were burned out, and a big hole was burned into the roof above the stove. A skylight was opened, so I was lucky.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. The fire has been put out. Let's go back to sleep. It's getting late. I'll make arrangements for Xingjie." Gu Changshan: "Xingjie, come home with me."

The cold wind blowing made Gu Changshan sober up a lot. It is instinct to lead an organization.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening. It would get dark at five o'clock, and there was not much nightlife, so it was already very late.

"Ah...I'd better just stay at home."

Chen Xingjie responded blankly and then refused.

This child has experienced too many changes recently. At this time, he looks a little dull and at a loss. It is far from obvious that he will be mature and responsible in the future.

"Your house is leaking air now. You have to live at home. Don't you want to get up tomorrow?" Gu Changshan said to Gu Zhaocheng: "Zhaocheng, take Xingjie and let's go home."

A house with drafts everywhere is no different from the outdoors.

If Chen Xingjie really wanted to sleep at home, it wouldn't be surprising if he just disappeared.

Just like that, Chen Xingjie followed the Gu family and his son back home.

The Gu family took Chen Xingjie in directly, and there was no need to worry about Chen Xingjie not going to the Gu family for dinner, and everyone would live in the Gu family from now on.

"System, sign in."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving: ten yuan in cash and two pounds of frozen pears."

When Gu Zhaocheng woke up the next day, he started sweeping the snow.

After clearing the snow from the yard, you also need to clear a section of the road in front of your house.

There is no sanitation here, so things like clearing the snow mainly rely on the efforts of each family.

"Zhaocheng, you got up so early. Grandpa even talked about sweeping the snow, but you have already finished it."

Waiting for Gu Zhaocheng to finish sweeping away the snow and prepare to build two snowmen in front of his house and act as the door god, Song Liuxi also went out.

"It's not much work. Master, you drank wine yesterday, so you'd better rest a little longer."

"As I get older, I don't sleep that much. Xingjie's family..."

"Xingjie..."

When the father and son came back yesterday, they arranged for Xingjie to rest and did not have time to explain the matter clearly. Now it is time to explain the situation to the old man.

"This kid is in a lot of trouble!"

Song Liuxi sighed well, but Chen Xingjie is not the only child who suffers.

The children currently being raised by the Gu family, including Gu Zhaocheng himself, and the children he will raise in the future, are all suffering more than the last.

The Gu family's children will suffer in the future, and Gu Zhaocheng may change.

But the child adopted by the Gu family will start to suffer from now on.

Even if Gu Zhaocheng knows what the situation is, he can't give him a solution now.

These children should still suffer.

After Chen Xingjie arrived at the Gu family, he had not had a big impact on the Gu family's life for the time being.

Taking in Chen Xingjie would not be a big change for the Gu family all at once. The main reason was that raising one more child would require long-term bloodletting and increase long-term expenses.

For now, it's just a matter of having one more person to sleep at home and an extra pair of chopsticks.

Na Cunhua made a meal of dumplings in the morning and welcomed Chen Xingjie's arrival.

Even though I feel sad about having an extra mouth in my family, I still remember the twenty-year friendship between Gu Changshan and Chen Shangyou.

Na Cunhua, who still had good food and good food, warmly welcomed Chen Xingjie to live at his home.

Chen Xingjie's experience is indeed pitiful. In a short period of time, his father died, his mother ran away, and his house collapsed.

The originally happy family of three was left with Chen Xingjie as an "orphan" in the blink of an eye.

This kind of experience is too pitiful, and it is impossible for the kind-hearted Na Cunhua to cruelly turn people away.

After breakfast, Chen Xingjie went back to his home to clean up his burned-out house.

Yesterday, Chen Xingjie came to the Gu family alone, and the house had not been tidied up yet.

A broken family is worth ten thousand yuan, but the Chen family's things are not worth ten thousand yuan.

But Chen Xingjie definitely couldn't just throw away the things he didn't want at home.

These things are not worth taking out, but if you want to buy a set of them all, it will still cost a lot of money.

It would take at least a few thousand dollars to buy things for your home.

Although the Chen family, like the Gu family, only has two rooms, it doesn't look like it stands out in the family area.

But the actual financial situation of the Chen family is still much better than that of the Gu family.

The Chen family also has TV sets, tape recorders, and other items, plus some clothes, bedding, furniture, pots and pans.

Except for the broken things, the rest are valuable and Chen Xingjie can still use them.

The family did not give Gu Zhaocheng any tasks, so Gu Zhaocheng continued to fish.

Unless he catches hundreds of catties of fish, it's not worth Gu Zhaocheng's trip to the city.

It’s still not feasible to sell fish just by going to the nearby market.

They are all people who live in the village and by the river. They are not willing to spend money to buy fish. Few of these people whose families are not well-off are willing to spend money on something that they can get with a little effort.

While fishing, it was relatively leisurely, and Gu Zhaocheng also had time to think about what to do next.

It makes sense to rely on mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to eat water.

Gu Zhaocheng lives in this forest farm, and the right way is to go to the mountains and forests to make money.

Just looking at Gu Zhaocheng's talents, if he doesn't go to war, he has the best room to develop in the mountains.

If it had been a few years earlier, it would not have been difficult for Gu Zhaocheng to make his first pot of gold.

Relying on his own skills, he was able to survive in an era when wild animals were relatively depleted.

It is not difficult for Gu Zhaocheng to hope to make some money from hunting.

But now, not only have guns been confiscated across the country, hunting has also been completely banned in the Northeast.

No matter guns, knives, traps or any other means are used.

Even if the wild boar comes down the mountain and eats the geographical crops, you can't do anything about it.

If you want to make a fortune from animals, you can only rely on artificial domestication, which will no longer be possible in a short time.

But you can still count on the plants to make a fortune. If you can dig up a ginseng seedling of a previous year, it will be enough for Gu Zhaocheng to get started.

Even though wild ginseng is very rare, Gu Zhaocheng is not an old mountaineer and cannot dig ginseng, but finding some herbs is more efficient than Gu Zhaocheng fishing.

Even though herbs are difficult to find, and some wild products are valuable, it is impossible for people to return empty-handed.

So if he doesn't want to run out, going to the mountains is Gu Zhaocheng's best choice.

Going into the mountains to play can be regarded as Gu Zhaocheng's hobby, and he uses his hobby to make money.

It's definitely better than going to the city to make money as a hawker.

In this era, hawkers are not as easy to do as before. There is no chance to double the profit by just carrying a bag of goods back from the south.

The current weather is not suitable for going into the mountains, and the mountains and forests in winter are only suitable for logging.

Although it is also suitable for hunting, this activity has been banned.

In addition to maintaining law and order, the forest farm police station's biggest focus is catching poachers.

Gu Zhaocheng does not need to directly confront the policy.

The family is not going to live on. Gu Changshan can still ensure that the whole family has food to eat, and Gu Zhaocheng will not take this path directly.

Although you can't go into the mountains until spring comes and the flowers bloom, you can still make all kinds of preparations.

In addition to looking at the forest farm planning map of Changshan and understanding the geography of this forest farm.

I just chatted with a few old people in the forest farm, played chess with these old men, listened to their bragging, and learned about the real situation in the mountains.

The main thing is to understand places other than Sandaogou Forest Farm.
