After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

Chapter 121

◎The store opened, the watermelons are selling well, and there are a lot of orders. ◎

Gu Zeyu said: "I'm still there if I don't get up, don't worry."

The two slowly walked into the room side by side. Brother Cheng asked what he would have for dinner in the evening. He can start preparing it now. After all, he has had enough sleep and is very energetic now.

Gu Zeyu said that he can eat anything.

Brother Cheng is in a dilemma, he can eat anything, but cooking is the worst.

He looked down at his toes, then stepped over the threshold.

Then he remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "I just picked a few cucumbers and a big eggplant in the vegetable garden today, shall I make garlic eggplant and cold cucumber for you?"

Gu Zeyu smiled: "I'll help you."

Brother Cheng hurriedly stopped him, stopped him with both hands and said: "You are going to sell melons in the town again today, and you haven't rested since you came back in the afternoon. You must be very tired. Go and rest for a while. These two dishes are simple. What's the use? Got you." The tone was a bit playful, but Brother Cheng really loved the man.

Under Brother Cheng's earnest gaze, Gu Zeyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back to my room and have a rest."

After saying this, the two separated, but Gu Zeyu just went back to the house and changed his clothes. After a busy day today, he also got a lot of dirt in the field, so it was a bit uncomfortable to eat in this clothes.

For Gu Zeyu, although he is a rough guy, he still wants to be as relaxed as possible when he returns home, this warm and comfortable harbor, change into his daily clothes, and enjoy the warm atmosphere of the family.

When I got home, even the air smelled better, very fresh.

Gu Zeyu took a deep breath, stretched his arms, then put the changed clothes into the basin, took them to the yard, and went to wash them.

By the way, I also washed the clothes that brother Cheng had replaced, and squatted by the basin with the saponins, and scrubbed them vigorously. Thanks to the good quality of the clothes, they were not damaged by rubbing.

"Brother Gu, it's time to eat." Brother Cheng went to the room to ask Gu Zeyu to eat, and saw a tall and straight man sitting on a chair with grievances, resting his chin on his hands, resting his elbows on the table, his head supported by his palms , little by little.

Gu Zeyu was a little sleepy waiting.

Brother Cheng unconsciously lowered his voice, but Gu Zeyu still woke up.

Seeing Brother Cheng come in, his eyes lit up and his expression became lively, not at all like the indifferent man that others said.

"Daughter-in-law, dinner is ready, I'll get up right away." After speaking, she stood up abruptly.

Brother Cheng is a little used to his address. Recently, he calls his daughter-in-law from time to time, which is very intimate. At first it sounded embarrassing, but then it got better, and now he can respond naturally.

"The staple food is steamed buns, but there are not many left at home, so I steamed them all together in the pot. It seems that I have to steam steamed buns with noodles tomorrow."

Gu Zeyu rubbed his eyes to cheer himself up, "Our steamed buns are eaten pretty fast, I remember making the steamed buns just two days ago?"

Brother Cheng frowned: "It's not easy to make a lot of steamed buns in summer. I'm afraid they will be spoiled, so I can only keep them for two or three days, so you feel that they will be finished soon."

The meal was already on the table, and the two of them sat down and began to eat.

Gu Zeyu first ate the eggplant with a large chopstick. The eggplant with mashed garlic is steamed in a pan, then mashed in a bowl, and then mixed with mashed garlic. It can be shredded after eating. It’s not very hot, so eat it in summer It's a meal.

Regardless of Zeyu, he ate very happily, and ate a big steamed bun with this dish in a while.

Brother Cheng said to him: "Eat some cucumbers too. The cucumbers grown at home are crunchy and sweet. I specially picked the tender ones. It must suit your appetite."

As if Gu Zeyu just remembered, he turned his hand to the cucumber salad.

The two quickly finished their meal, the sky was already half dark, and a few stars and a bright moon hanging high in the sky could already be seen in the sky.

Because they had to take a bath, the two of them gathered in the kitchen to boil water. Although the oil lamp had been lit, the kitchen was still dark, only the red fire in the stove was particularly bright.

It's just that the calm was finally broken by the mosquito. With a snap, Brother Cheng was extremely fierce and killed the mosquito lying on Gu Zeyu's arm.

Gu Zeyu was taken aback by the sudden attack. Although it didn't hurt very much, he was in a trance.

Brother Cheng belatedly realized that he was pushing too hard.

He leaned over obediently and said, "I didn't do it on purpose, Brother Gu." The small appearance looked very pitiful in the light and shadow, how could Gu Zeyu be angry with such a daughter-in-law.

He hurriedly hugged and comforted and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, the water is almost boiling, you can go get a change of clothes first, it's too late, can I wash with you later? It saves time."

Brother Cheng's face was reddish, but he couldn't see clearly due to the darkness. Several complex expressions flashed across his face, and then he coughed slightly and said weakly, "That's all right, let's wash together."

He was actually a little scared, but more of his dependence and trust in the man.

In the end, when the two entered the bathroom together, nothing happened. Gu Zeyu was very concerned about Brother Cheng's feelings, so he just rubbed his back and did nothing else.

The imaginary intimate contact didn't happen, Brother Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time felt a little bit disappointed, and then scolded himself in his heart, what are you thinking, Brother Gu is not the kind of wandering person.

When going to bed, Gu Zeyu explained to his wife what happened this afternoon and his plans.

As soon as Brother Cheng lay down, he sat up in shock, "Want to open a store in the town? Well, I also support this. It's not good for us to keep running around like this. We always have to have a base camp in the town, but It feels like you have handed over a lot of power in the store to that man named Feng Zihao, do you trust him?"

Gu Zeyu squeezed Brother Cheng's hand, playing with his slender fingers, and said in a flat tone: "I am quite optimistic about him. I didn't leave the Tudou business to him last time. It was done very well, so this This time, I have already found an acquaintance."

"It's not that I didn't think about us going to battle in person. It's just that we can't relax in the melon fields at home. Our family is rooted in the village, and I don't want to move to the town, so I rejected this idea. Then your father and mother I'm also busy with the newly opened furniture store, and my uncle just came back from the exam with Gu Xin, and he hasn't settled down yet, so he simply asked someone to show us the store, and we'll just check it out from time to time The books will do."

Brother Cheng nodded, which made sense, "Then let's do it this way, I trust your decision."

He gave the man enough trust.

Slowly lying down on the bed, Gu Zeyu hugged him, leaned his head close to him, and heard the vibration from the man's chest, and he got close enough to hear the clear words, "Thank you, wife. "

Gu Zeyu was very happy. He had a daughter-in-law who was devoted to him. His decision was not to support him unconditionally, but to discuss it together.

Hugging and hugging, the atmosphere between the two became a bit ambiguous. Their lips kissed together, and their arms were also entangled. The two hadn't been intimate for a long time. Gu Zeyu looked like a starved wolf, and now his eyes are a little green , staring at his only prey eager to try.

Brother Cheng's answer was that he put his arm around Gu Zeyu's waist.

Gu Zeyu was suddenly excited, and immediately hugged Brother Cheng's waist and kissed him hard, then slowly moved down to his neck to make trouble with him.

The night gradually deepened, and lovers immersed in it were also a little drunk.

-

The time came to late August.

Almost all watermelons are ripe.

Gu Zeyu's field is very lively every day, with men coming and going, and merchants wearing gold belts and silver suits come to check the watermelon planting environment and scale.

A shop has opened in the town to sell watermelons, and Feng Zihao and a newly hired accountant have already taken up their positions.

Gu Zeyu paid them both a tael of silver, but Feng Zihao got a commission, and he would give them another money at the end of the month.

For the people in the town and the county, there is suddenly something called watermelon in their lives. Watermelon is a kind of fruit. It is delicious. It is comparable in size to wax gourd. is sweet.

This makes people flock to it. Whether it is a child or an adult, men, women and children basically have no resistance to watermelon.

Seeing someone selling watermelon, even if they have no money, they still save money to sell it for a catty to taste the taste. People who have never eaten watermelon are slowly driven by the people around them.

If you can't say a word or two about the taste of watermelon, then you are out of the group and out of date.

For a time, watermelon was very popular.

More and more businessmen came to this small town, all wanting to buy a batch of watermelons from Gu Zeyu, and then sell them in other places. You must know that these things are more popular in other prosperous places, such as Zhaoguo The southern part of China is rich in rice and rice, and there are many wealthy people. Some of them like to eat watermelon, and they are willing to spend money to buy it. The market is vast.

First, he was guided to the shop opened in the town, and finally to Gujia Village. Anyway, there are many carriages coming and going in a day.

Only then did the villagers clearly realize that watermelon is really popular, and everyone likes to eat it.

Of course, Gu Zeyu did not forget the people in the village. He hired three men to watch the melon fields at night. After all, there are always people who come to steal melons. Although the losses are not much, they still need to be on guard. Fortunately, the people in the village are simple, at most they are children Come and taste the addiction of stealing melons.

After all, this sweet fruit is really attractive to the children in the village.

Gu Zeyu has a good attitude towards children, usually just preaching.

The next day, they announced in the village that each household could receive five watermelons for free.

In addition, you can come to work in his fields, pick watermelons, load cars and so on.

Recently, orders have surged, and merchants are in a hurry. They have pulled away more than ten trucks of watermelons in a day, and there is not enough manpower.

The wages are still [-] Wen a day. When the watermelon pickers are thirsty, they can pick melons from the field and eat them together. It is right to quench their thirst. Gu Zeyu is not stingy with these.

After all, they belong to fellow villagers, so as long as they are not too much, he will turn a blind eye.

He relaxed the conditions this time, not only men can come, but brothers can also come to work in the field, and the wages are paid according to the workload.

Gu Zeyu also invited his uncle and aunt to help take care of them, and forced them to pay them. There are so many people, he only has one pair of eyes, and he can't see them at all.

Brother Cheng is also very busy, because the wages are settled daily, he takes the ledger to calculate wages in the field and distribute wages.

Every evening, a long queue formed in the field, and Gu Zeyu exchanged a lot of copper coins, preparing to pay wages.

I also said that those who come to work continuously can record it in the account book first, and then send it together at the end.

Everyone chooses differently, and some who only work for two days will receive tens of dollars of wages every day.

Gu Zeyu taught Brother Cheng to write "positive" to record the number of times, saying that it is clear at a glance.
