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

Chapter 111 Going to Uncle's House for Help

◎The two act separately. ◎

The next day, Gu Zeyu contacted the merchant and sold some of the newly harvested wheat, and the family also returned some funds.

The rest of the wheat will be harvested by the villagers. After the grain is collected, merchants will come to the village to harvest it, and it will be convenient to sell it together at that time.

Of course, he will not forget the wheat that is enough to pay taxes, and the wheat for his own food.

That night, the family ate steamed buns made from freshly beaten flour. Because the flour could not be beaten very clean in this era, the steamed buns were not particularly white, but slightly black.

But it is soft and soft, and when you press it with your fingers, it will sink into a nest.

Gu Zeyu ate three big steamed buns in one go, and his stomach was very satisfied. Brother Cheng also said that the flour made from the new wheat had a wheat flavor and was delicious.

Gu Zeyu and the others sat and ate.

discussing one thing.

Gu Zeyu said: "Brother Cheng, our family has settled the wheat today. I heard that your father is still drying the wheat. Why don't we help tomorrow."

Hearing what he said, Brother Cheng naturally wanted to help his father and mother, but he didn't know if it was a bad idea. Gu Zeyu first thought of his parents, and he was naturally moved.

What about the uncle’s house? Gu Xin is still studying in the town. He didn’t ask for a leave of absence and went home to help harvest the wheat. Because the scientific examination is going to take place in August, his wife won’t let him go home. After all, it’s already July. mid.

He bit his lip, looked up at Gu Zeyu and asked.

Gu Zeyu naturally thought about it too, and he said: "Either the two families will help each other for a day and take turns, or the two of us will separate and go to the two families separately."

Brother Cheng puffed up his cheeks and was very conflicted. He finally sighed, and said helplessly: "Then let's separate, I'll go to my father's house, you go to your uncle's house, the first method you mentioned won't work, we're here I went there on the first day, and changed houses the next day, how bad it is, maybe both of them are holding on to hope.”

He felt that would make the two of them half-hearted.

Gu Zeyu couldn't help it either, he lowered his head to comfort Brother Cheng, and said, "I'll try my best to work at Uncle's house, and then I'll go find you."

Brother Cheng was quite happy when he heard his words, and he showed a little dimple, but he thought of something, and he raised his jaw and said, "Brother Gu, maybe my father's house will be finished soon. , My family doesn't have a few acres of dry land, I guess I can finish it soon after I go to help, and I will go to you then."

Gu Zeyu really didn't think about it. He pondered and said, "We can go to whoever we want. Let's rest early today, and tomorrow we have to dry and pound wheat. We have a lot of work, and we will be very tired."

Brother Cheng nodded, and the two of them cleaned up the dishes and went to wash up.

Because of the sweltering weather, both of them couldn't sleep. The least thing in summer was mosquitoes. Even burning grass to repel them was useless.

So I had no choice but to catch mosquitos at the bedside for a while, and then put down the bed net. This bed net was specially bought to be breathable, and it was very thin, like a layer of gauze.

Gu Zeyu used it as a mosquito net, Brother Cheng was also curious, he had never used such a net.

But the mosquitoes can't get through, but the air is still filled with heat, even after the evening, the room is still hot.

After laying down for a while, Brother Cheng began to sweat a little, and his body was also wet, making him very uncomfortable. The pajamas he wears now are very cool, made of silk, and made of shorts and shorts, which are light and thin, but they can’t stop him Enthusiasm.

Brother Cheng couldn't help but said, "Brother Gu, are you asleep?"

Gu Zeyu naturally didn't sleep, he turned over on the bed, faced Brother Cheng and said, "Didn't sleep, it's too hot."

Seeing sweat on his forehead through the dim light, he sat up and went to get the fan beside the bed, then lay down and approached Brother Cheng, "I'll fan you, you go to sleep."

As he said that, he slapped the fan in the direction of Brother Cheng. His arms were very powerful and he had strong muscles. At the beginning, he slapped the fan very quickly, bringing a cool breeze to both of them.

In the dark, the corners of Brother Cheng's mouth curled up, and his eyes were full of joy. He moved his body towards Gu Zeyu, and he knew that Brother Gu would fan him. It has always been like this these days. Brother Cheng is really Some are afraid of the heat and cannot sleep well for several days.

After Gu Zeyu noticed it, he took advantage of the fact that he was also hot and fanned him in the direction where he was sleeping.

On this day, Brother Cheng repeated his old tricks, reminding a certain man that it was time to fan, he was getting hot.

Gu Zeyu couldn't notice his little thoughts, but he just wanted to enjoy it. Fanning his wife is what a good husband should do.

But he thought to himself, if he is free in a few days, he should go to the pharmacy or grocery store in the town to look for saltpeter.

Summer is really too hot.

After waking up the next day, after breakfast, the couple went their separate ways, ah no, they just went to help each other.

When Brother Cheng arrived at his home field, he saw Father and Mu loading straw on the cart. He smiled and said hello, "Father, Mu, I'm here to help."

Then he trotted over and arrived in front of the two of them.

Because the two had been immersed in their work, they didn't realize it until Brother Cheng walked up to him and heard his voice.

Father Cheng wiped the sweat from his brow, and then said to his little brother, "No, your mother and I are almost done, so you don't need to touch your hands."

It is true that the wheat in a small field has not been harvested, and Father Cheng is right.

Brother Cheng said coquettishly: "Father, I moved with you, isn't it faster, I also harvested wheat together before, you didn't mention me then."

Father Cheng didn't have time to organize his rebuttal.

Aunt Liu came over, and he said lovingly, "You're already married and still acting like a baby to your father. Why are you here alone? Where did your man go?"

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Gu Zeyu to let his brother come to help alone.

Brother Cheng explained: "He went to the uncle's house, and Gu Xin from the uncle's house couldn't come back. The two of us agreed to go to the house one by one, which is fair." His attitude was very calm.

Liu Amu thought for a while, and said: "That's fine, but Brother Cheng, you came late, our family has only a little wheat left, and we will finish moving. Don't touch your hands, go to the wheat field to look at the wheat." Well, our wheat is still drying in the old place, and when your father and I transport this cart of wheat over there, we will officially start husking."

Brother Cheng looked at Maizi, and reluctantly agreed. He walked for a short distance, not forgetting to look back, and finally trotted to the wheat field.

This is the place where villagers dry their wheat, and there are people guarding it, but most of them are guarded by the elderly or children at home. When Brother Cheng came over, someone greeted him.

Ask him why?

Brother Cheng naturally said that he was looking at the wheat.

An old woman smiled and asked him: "I remember that you have received all your wheat and sold some of it, so whose wheat are you going to see today?"

His tone was teasing, and he looked at him with a smile in his eyes, without malice, just joking.

Brother Cheng knew this old woman, so he smiled and said, "Look at the wheat at my grandfather's house, their wheat is really here, right?" He pointed to the wheat on the eastern edge.

The old woman said, "Yes, that's right there." Then she laughed and said, "Brother Cheng is really a filial brother, and the guy in your family even asked you to work for your mother's family."

The old lady didn't ask why his man didn't come. In fact, there are very few sons-in-law who will work for the mother-in-law's family. If they want to do it, they will do it before they get married, in order to please the mother-in-law.

Brother Cheng nodded, not wanting to say too much, "Grandma, I'm leaving first, and I have to turn over the wheat again."

The old lady didn't stop her either, she just covered the sun with her hands.

When Gu Zeyu went to help, it was natural for him to ask questions. He explained and asked his aunt to teach him a lesson.

The eldest aunt said this, "Zeyu, why are you here to help us with work? We can do it. There are three people in the family and a non-staff member. He comes here from time to time to hang out, and the wheat will be cut soon. You It’s time to go to brother Cheng’s mother’s house, there are only two people in his family, and the head of the house is a carpenter, I’m afraid he can’t work as fast as us pure farmers, don’t stay here, go to your mother-in-law’s house.”

Gu Zeyu was a little wronged, but he also felt that what the aunt said made sense.

However, he also grasped the key words in his aunt's words, non-staff personnel?who?

He asked, "Auntie, who is this non-staff member? I can't compare to your nephew."

The aunt's face darkened for a moment, but she still said, "It's that kid Li Sijia who insists on coming to help us with work, and he can't be driven away."

Brother Yu lowered his head silently at what his mother said.

Gu Zeyu was not convinced, "Then he didn't come today? Why can't I help you with work?"

Uncle Gu didn't stop his hands, and said in a rough voice: "Today he said he was going to hunt and catch a few rabbits for us to replenish our body, and he said he was afraid he would be exhausted in the past few days."

Uncle Gu's emotions were very complicated, he knew that he was the brat who was going to abduct brother Yu from his family, but he really couldn't stop him from being courteous, and wanted to tell the stupid guy away when he said something nasty.

Li Sijia began to express his heart, saying that he really liked Brother Yu, and that it was his duty to help Brother Yu with work at home, and he would never leave, and he had to honor Brother Yu's parents.

Gu Zeyu thought about it, this Li Sijia has opened up.

That's right, brother Yu is also 16 years old, he should say kiss, if he doesn't hurry up, there will be no place to cry when his wife is gone.

After hearing this, Gu Zeyu coughed twice, and persuaded the uncle, "Uncle, you can think about the good, isn't this also an extra free labor?" Then he talked about himself, "Anyway, I have come here today. Come on, don't try to drive me away, Lai Hao will let me finish the day, otherwise I will go home, how will brother Cheng think of me."

Speaking of holding the sickle that he brought with him, he began to pick up a bunch of wheat to cut. The technique is quite skilled. Yes, he has already practiced it. From the beginning, he couldn't hold the sickle stably and hurt his hand. Now he cuts the wheat The action is very standard and very fast.
