Chapter 206 is quite interesting!
Uncle Pei and his sons stayed behind to help Gu Si and Ling Xi tidy up the yard carefully, repairing the places damaged by the strong wind, washing away the mud spots on the bluestone walls in front of and behind the house, and cleaning the house and yard as well.

After lunch, Uncle Pei put all the 300 eggs that he had brought back when he went home to get tiles into the pot.

They have the custom of giving red eggs to pray for blessings on their newborn babies on their one-month anniversary.

The third child didn't have a full month celebration due to his weak health. Now it's been several months. Giving him some red eggs, not only to make up for it, but also has the good meaning of praying.

Lingxi helped Uncle Pei order some red eggs for a while, then was sent out by Uncle Pei.

When she found Gu Si and the others, she saw Gu Si and the brothers Pei Jin and Pei Yu, writing and drawing around a pile of wooden boards.

Wooden boards, and long ones at that!

Lingxi's expression suddenly became subtle.

When she walked forward, she saw her fourth brother holding a piece of wood and carving and modifying it. The main feature was an irregular shape. For some of the long and thin boards, he took two of them of different lengths and nailed them together side by side.

Pei Jin, who was writing, was still writing horizontally.

I don't know why I felt relieved all of a sudden!

Gu Si noticed Ling Xi approaching and noticed her little action immediately. He couldn't help laughing: "You are thinking about that thing again!"

Lingxi was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this just a conditioned reflex?"

Pei Jin and Pei Yu were puzzled, and Ling Xi took the initiative to explain to them how Gu Si and Pei Xuan had deliberately taken advantage of the wooden sign incident and beat up Lao Hei when they went to the capital.

Pei Jin Pei Yu: "..."

No wonder my brother-in-law wanted to do something fancy on this wooden board!

It is also emphasized that it should be written horizontally.

The two of them couldn't hold back their expressions.

Lingxi's attention was already on the few wooden boards Pei Jin had just written on, with the words -

There is a trap here, please go through the main door.

Danger Danger!

Private residence, do not climb!
……

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

what?
trap!

Yes, my second uncle and eldest brother said before that Pei Yanning had set up some traps around the yard.

Gu Si explained: "We are a kind and gentle family. Dad was busy before, and he came and went in a hurry, so he couldn't take care of us. Now that we are back to stay for a while, we still have to remind those who steal and do something."

The main thing is to help Pei Yanning make a patch. Pei Yanning is no longer in the same circle as before. Now he has changed to a new environment and it is not good to be too murderous, so he naturally has to show his attitude.

Just like before in the factory, Pei Yanning took the initiative to take out the ginger from home. It’s the same principle.

Otherwise he doesn't care whether those people are dead or alive.

Lingxi: “…”

Ah, yes!
"We are all good people in our family." She had an expression that said "I understand everything" and instantly made Pei Jin and Pei Yu laugh.

Okay, as long as you are happy.

Lingxi was also amused by her own words, and she looked at the pile of boards with a little curiosity.

"Do you plan to hang this or nail it to the wall or tree?"

Pei Yu laughed and said, "When you got married, there were a lot of red ribbons and red cloth strips. The ones that were originally tied to the sedan chair, you probably left them to collect dust, and you'll tear them into strips later..."

Lingxi thought about it and instantly felt that this...

It looks quite nice!
Pei Jin still felt a little regretful: "I wanted to write a couple of poems about an allusion, but it's not appropriate!"

Pei Jin has inherited some of Uncle Pei's hobbies.

Like elegant.

In his own home, he has Aunt Pei and his wife, so he can't cause any trouble. But it's not the same with Gu Si Lingxi.

Lingxi also became interested.

"You can't write outside. We have jujube trees, persimmon trees, and pomegranate trees in our yard. If you want to write, hang it on the trees. There are also grape trellises in front of and behind the house, which can be used!"

After thinking for a while, she added: "If it's an eyesore in this yard, then we can go back to Pei's and hang it there. I still like the yard over there."

The brothers and sisters hit it off immediately.

The village suffered a disaster some time ago. Although the damage was not serious, there were still some losses. The brigade began to organize people to help some lonely elderly people, martyrs and military relatives in the village to repair their houses. Some families also asked people for help. There was also some work in the fields such as carrying manure and collecting fertilizer, which also had to be done.

Therefore, when someone came to the house, it was already after lunch. Who would have thought that before entering the house, I saw a lot of signs hanging on the trees around the yard, and they were wrapped with red ribbons.

Not to mention, it looks pretty good!

Everyone seemed to be watching a foreign spectacle.

Gu Dachuan avoided the crowd and looked at Gu Si, looking at the red floating around him: "Why are you doing this?"

Gu Si stuffed a pack of cigarettes into his pocket.

"Don't smoke all the time. It's bad for your health."

He said this first, and then continued, "We don't come back often, so who knows if anyone is planning to take over the yard? This yard must be well protected, but there are traps and it's dangerous, so we might as well put up a few signs to remind people."

Gu Dachuan: “…”

You are quite good!

Gu Si thought for a moment and added, "Can you please tell the villagers for me later that there are traps in places with red ropes and wooden signs? Tell everyone to stay away and go through the main gate if they want to come."

Gu Dachuan: “…”

"What if someone's kid is playing around? Or if a chicken, duck or goose falls in?"

"Anyway, no one will die. As for the chickens, ducks and geese, they are not heavy enough and the trap mechanism cannot be activated." Gu Si didn't care much.

If it really falls, just get it out.

Speaking of injuries...

Being close to the mountains, it’s no big deal to get a little bleeding from bumps and bruises. Every village has some effective medicine for wounds.

Gu Dachuan: “…”

What do you mean you can't die anyway?

He was thinking about going back and having a good talk with the villagers, and reminding the children about the traps. There were a lot of traps in the mountains anyway, and the children in the small mountain village knew from a young age what kind of signs they encountered in the mountains were traps, and they had to avoid them.

Now, just get used to it in advance!
There's no point in getting used to it in advance. Who would set the trap in the village?

He looked at this terrible son and didn't want him at all.

He went straight to see his little grandson.

The county was too far away. When Lingxi gave birth, the family was busy and they were not able to be there. Instead, they asked Gu Qingnan to bring a few pairs of tiger-head shoes, and Gu Qingnan never went back empty-handed.

It didn't cost much money, but it took a lot of thought.

He would go fishing with Zhao Jianan every few days, and would send whatever he caught to Gu Si.

Gu Dachuan and his friends had never seen the villagers before, and this was even more the first time.

Uncle Pei was at home, so he would naturally entertain the elders who came to the house. As for Gu Si Lingxi...

Ah!
It’s a bit embarrassing to say.

In the eyes of the villagers, they are just a pair of little useless guys, neither of whom can carry anything on their shoulders or hands. It’s just that they don’t cause any trouble.

After everyone left, Lingxi felt a little emotional.

Before she came back, she was still thinking about how she would get along with this mother-in-law, with whom she had hardly any contact, if she came to visit after returning to the village. What if she particularly loved the little boy and came over often? She felt a little nervous.

But I didn't expect that although they came, they seemed to be no different from other people in the village. After they looked at them and were surprised, that was all.

However, Gu Dachuan secretly stuffed a few dollars into his pocket.

Gu Si couldn't help laughing: "Well, Brother Si didn't lie to you, did he?"

When Gu Si knew what Lingxi was thinking, he analyzed it for Lingxi.

Wang Dongni has conservative ideas. The third child has the surname Pei. In Wang Dongni's mind, they are not the children of the old Gu family. No matter how precious other children are, they are still a little different from her own.

That's not the case with Gu Dachuan, but Gu Dachuan is a typical patriarch and has never been good at speaking.

Lingxi: “…”

Fine!

Who made her little baby's surname Pei!

She poked her little darlings one by one.

"It's okay. There are many people who love our baby. When your grandfather comes back, I will ask him to compensate you. It's all his fault."

Gu Si: “…”

want to laugh.
