996 Quite a sense of accomplishment
Gu Nian’s eyes moved. I’ve been thinking about something recently. I’ve been thinking about it since the beginning of this year. I’ve been delayed and haven’t taken any action. We can try it before the new year. Once it’s done, not only can we strengthen the defense of our city gate tower, but we can also build roads. This way, the roads from other states to kun city won’t be so rugged. Moreover, we can use this to ask the Emperor for help.”
Gu Xin,’sister, is it the cement that you mentioned? It can make city walls that can’t be pushed down, make the road more flat, and won’t be muddy when it rains?”
“Yes!” Gu Nian nodded. It was this! Let’s go to the nearby area tomorrow. I need to find some materials and then make a workshop. Also, father, go and tell old general Peng that I want to go to their smithing place to find something.”
She could ask Peng Yizhu, but she still had to ask old general Peng. The first thing they had to do was to strengthen the city wall. She had already seen that the city wall wasn’t strong enough.
Cai Xiaolian said, ” niannian, see if there are any resin-like plants. Actually, we can consider building a greenhouse. We’ll be staying here for a few years. When winter comes, we won’t have to worry about eating vegetables.
“What’s a greenhouse?” Gu Xin asked curiously.
Gu Nian made up an excuse and said that she had read about it in some random books and had mentioned it to Cai Xiaolian before.
Uncle Gu was the most interested in this and asked a lot of questions.
Gu Nian gave a vague answer and did not say that it would definitely work.
That night, the family talked a lot. When Gu Xin and Gu si fell asleep, everyone dispersed.
The next day, Cai Xiaolian went to the Peng family’s house. Gu shouxin was in the office writing at a high speed. Uncle Gu had found someone to explore the wasteland with him. Gu Nian took his siblings and the five members of the Bai family out of the city to look for a mine.
It had to be said that kun city was a treasure trove. Gu Nian had everything she wanted. The next step was to organize a workshop and start her research. Gu Xin and Gu si were helping her by the side. The five members of the Bai family were also helping her.
Gu en did not need to do these things. He had to study, and Gu shouxin had a.s.signed him a heavy task.
Sun Yumei had already begun to follow the drawing Cai Xiaolian had given her, embroidering some handkerchiefs. However Q she had never seen this drawing before. It was Q twelve-year Q old Xiao drawing. These animals were not drawn in Q normal way, and were all in cartoonish shapes.
Grandma Xiao had asked around at the military area and found out that there were many good needlework workers who wanted to earn this money.
The embroidery team was set up just like that.
Gu Xin suggested to Cai Xiaolian that they could send over some fabric and embroidery thread for this transaction. The merchants in kun city obviously didn’t have enough.
She had already thought of this question, but when Gu Xin said it, she still complimented her. Her daughter was really good at thinking.
She could tell what Gu Hui and Gu si were good at, but she didn’t know what Gu Xin was good at.
Whatever Gu Hui knew, Gu Xin knew as well. Whatever Gu Nian knew, as long as Gu Hui taught her, Gu Xin would know. Whatever Gu si knew, Gu Xin would know even better.
This girl’s learning ability was really strong, and she was very eager to learn. She wanted to understand everything.
This was probably the female lead’s Halo!
Cai Xiaolian recalled the description of the female lead that Gu Nian had given her when she first transmigrated. She had long hair like a waterfall, bright eyes and white teeth, and many other adjectives. She realized that these adjectives would soon come in handy!
Gu Xin would be 13 in a month’s time. At 13 years old, she would be at the early stage of maturity. To reach the stage that Gu Nian mentioned, she would have to be 18 at the very least!
The current Gu Xin still had some baby fat on her face. She was round and quite cute.
This was what she and Gu shouxin had raised in the past two years, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.
