Chapter 70 November
◎【End of Inverted V】The well is completed, and there is still one month to get married. ◎
At the beginning of May, the weather has become scorching hot. It’s that kind of sweltering, unclear heat. Gu Zeyu doesn’t like this kind of heat very much. He likes the intense heat. dazzling.
But he believes that after a while, it will be clear and hot, after all, summer is coming.
In fact, at this time, people had already changed into thin shirts. Brother Cheng made two sets of clothes for Gu Zeyu last month, both of which were thin shirts, because it was not so cold during Qingming.
In addition, Tonghua Town belongs to the central part of Zhao Kingdom. The climate is always warm, and winter is cold all year round. In other seasons, there is no need to wear clothes such as jackets.
In the early days of May, the two wells of Gu Zeyu’s house were dug well, and after waiting for a few days for the water to return, the well water that came out today is clear and clear, and it is warm and cool after a sip.
On this day, they simply celebrated and made a ceremony to cover the mouth of the well with a cloth, and then Gu Zeyu opened it himself.
To show the status of the host family.
Because they heard the news, many people from the village came to see the fun, including Uncle Gu's family and Father Cheng's family.
Of course, the village chief also came. He was standing in front of the villagers, his position was very prominent.
Seeing Gu Zeyu, he smiled and said, "Boy Zeyu, these two wells have been officially completed today. Congratulations. As expected, I read correctly, you boy is capable."
Gu Zeyu replied with a smile: "No matter where, the kid is still farming."
Uncle Gu also came over, accompanied by brother Yu, both of them said some words of congratulations, and they both looked happy for him.
Gu Zeyu hasn't been to Uncle Gu's house for more than ten days. We meet him from time to time in the village, but I rarely see brother Yu. Today, I saw him dressed neatly and in good spirits. He seemed to have figured out something. .
He knew in his heart that he must have figured out the relationship problem.
I don't know if the two of them have succeeded, and if Li Sijia has shown her face to her uncle.
But he didn't say anything thoughtfully, after all, it's a matter between the two of them, it's not good for his cousin to get involved.
So he just praised Gu Yu, "Brother Yu, the clothes you are wearing today are very suitable for you, and make you look beautiful."
Brother Yu smiled and said: "Isn't it because I heard that the well you dug by my cousin is full of water today, so I came to join in the fun, and I have to change my clothes no matter what, I will support you."
Gu Zeyu smiled and said, "You have a heart."
Then he said a few more words to his uncle, and then glanced at the crowd, and when he accurately saw Brother Cheng's figure, the corners of his mouth curved even wider.
Jin Ming called him again, and Gu Zeyu walked over in response, "I'll be right here."
Jin Ming said: "Brother Zeyu, you lifted the cloth above the well, and that's all."
Gu Zeyu stepped forward and lifted the cloth on the two wells in one breath, then held the cloth in his hand, and looked at the well mouth, and it was built with bricks, which looked very strong and tidy.
Gu Zeyu said to Jin Ming: "It's been hard for you these days. Let's go to the town at noon today and treat you to a restaurant. This is what we agreed a long time ago. Don't refuse, come."
What he didn't say was that he would also settle the wages by the way, and pay them directly when the time came, and everyone would watch and understand clearly, dignifiedly.
With just these two sentences, the people in the village were very lively. They had already walked to the side of the well, greeted Gu Zeyu, and looked anxiously.
Of course Gu Zeyu would not refuse, but he still announced a notice, "Everyone wants to see the well nearby, I understand, but you must pay attention to safety, don't get too close to the well, so as not to fall into it."
At the same time, I also discussed with Jin Ming that the well should be covered with a manhole cover. These two wells are drilled in the ground, so it is easy to ignore them when they come to work. Although the two wells are near the ground, there are always people who don't pay attention.
Since a sign cannot be set up, the best way is to set up a manhole cover.
It is best to use heavy and big stones for manhole covers, and it is not easy to find, so Gu Zeyu asked Jin Ming, they have well diggers, there is always a way, or they may have big stones for manhole covers in stock.
Jin Ming didn't deny it, he scratched his head and said, "Brother Zeyu, let's take a step to talk."
As they spoke, the two walked a little further away. Seeing that no one noticed them, Jin Ming said, "This stone is easy to get. My husband has a way there. His father is the manager of the quarry. You and I are considered acquainted, two stones the size of manhole covers can be obtained for about [-] Wen, and they can be polished just right for you, do you think this price is acceptable?"
Gu Zeyu thought about it, in fact, five hundred Wen is a bit expensive, but it is impossible for him to go to the mountain to find stones by himself. If he finds them, he has to move them down and polish them into cylinders. This job is not easy without tools.
In the end, I decided to buy two stones as a well cover. It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive. The most important thing is that it should be of good quality and can cover the well head, so that the land will not be dangerous due to more wells.
"For this price, I want two polished stones that can be used as manhole covers. By the way, can you transport them to Gujia Village for free?"
"Yes, when the time comes, I'll pull it directly into the ground for you, and it will be done in one step." Jin Ming is relatively straightforward in his work.
Gu Zeyu nodded, and then said: "As for the salary, I will give it to you when I go to eat at noon today. I didn't bring it with me."
Jin Ming replied happily: "Okay, if you can settle the wages, you are a good customer."
Then the two broke up, and Gu Zeyu touched Brother Cheng's side at some point, and he greeted him, which surprised Brother Cheng.
Cheng Cheng patted his chest and said, "Brother Gu, why did you appear suddenly? Didn't you have a group of people around you just now? You'll be fine so soon."
Then he carefully looked around and saw that everyone was lively and chatting together, he paid special attention to his father and mother, and felt relieved when he saw that they were also chatting.
Seeing Brother Cheng, he is like a kitten doing bad things, scanning around, very vigilant, and reacting quickly if there is any trouble, pulling the distance between the two of them.
Gu Zeyu thought it was very cute, and he was so sweet. After all, they were in front of a large crowd, and both of them kept the etiquette, just standing and talking.
"I've talked a lot, so naturally I'm going to sneak out. I haven't told you yet, so I'm going to hold on to you first." He smiled and said to the little brother in front of him.
After hearing this, Cheng Cheng said, "Why tell me, you take me so seriously." Although he said this, he still had a smile on his face, which proved that he was very happy in his heart.
Gu Zeyu chuckled, "I just put you at ease, you are my wife." He said the second half of the sentence softly, his voice pressed down, and it seemed very magnetic.
Anyway, listening to Brother Cheng's ears is very useful, but I still told him: "You are not allowed to say this outside, it would be bad if others heard it."
Cheng Cheng still needs to save face, he is embarrassed to let people hear such sweet and swearing words of sovereignty.
But I don't know that the corners of my mouth have been raised long ago, and the curved eyebrows also show that this little brother is in a happy mood.
Gu Zeyu was delighted with his appearance, approached him secretly, then rubbed his head secretly, and quickly withdrew his hand.
If Cheng Cheng hadn't experienced it personally, he would have almost ignored it.
He didn't bother, and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, if you do this, be quick, as long as you don't get discovered."
Gu Zeyu was pampered, feeling sweet and at ease in his heart, he made another trick, secretly took orange candy and stuffed it into Brother Cheng's hand, and said with a look of fear of being discovered: "Brother Cheng, eat quickly, don't let People saw it." Actually it was pretending, it was coaxing Brother Cheng.
Cheng Cheng was agitated by his tone, and actually put the orange candy in his mouth into his mouth. After eating it, he realized, what's the matter, why not just eat a candy.
Killing him was as sneaky as doing something bad.
Cheng Cheng glanced at him, but in Gu Zeyu's eyes, that glance was coquettish, and he thought Brother Cheng was happy.
The two stood and chatted for a while, Gu Zeyu mentioned the wedding date, June is coming soon, he is very happy, and will also prepare things for getting married during this time.
Although he also has to be busy with the work in the field, but he is willing to do it and is very happy.
Cheng Cheng was a little shy when it came to this topic, but he listened to it completely and made some suggestions.
He doesn't want to make it grand. It is enough for the two families to invite relatives and friends, and some villagers. Vigorous, ups and downs.
Gu Zeyu agreed, saying everything is up to you.
Brother Cheng was a little skeptical, did he agree so readily? There wouldn't be an explosion, right?
When Gu Zeyu was suspected, he spread his hands, expressing his innocence, as if I was telling the truth.
He secretly planned in his heart, as long as he didn't put it on the surface, he could come as he wanted in secret, and only get married once in his life, so it's better to do it better.
At this time Liu Amu called Brother Cheng, and Brother Cheng passed by first, and said, "You can figure it out, just don't pay too much attention."
-
Around noon, Gu Zeyu arranged the mouth of the well, covered it with tree branches, and took a group of seven or eight men to the town.
This time he was still driving the carriage, and he could barely sit down.
After arriving in the town, the men breathed a sigh of relief, they were really cramped and bored.
Gu Zeyu took them straight to Gao Xinhua's restaurant. There were a lot of people, and only one table was empty. Fortunately, even if it was crowded, they could sit down.
As soon as Jin Ming sat down, he said, "It's this restaurant. I've been there before. The noodles are delicious, and the side dishes are also delicious."
Gu Zeyu smiled and said, "It's delicious, that's why I brought you here."
The helper next to him was already waiting, and he handed over the menu. Seeing that a group of big, three thick, and strong men came to eat, he was a little scared, but he came over firmly and asked: "Guests, what are you going to eat? Pasta, side dishes, and wine."
He was stuttering, talking about general terms, without mentioning signature dishes or signature noodles.
Gu Zeyu helped him out, "Everyone, if you want to eat, just order it. You're welcome, this is the menu."
Several men looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to move.
Jin Ming was the first to order something he wanted to eat, which made the atmosphere more lively.
Gu Zeyu also decided to order a roast chicken, a serving of braised pork and a few pots of soju, which is about two cups per person, not much.
This is enough to make these men happy. Even though Gu Zeyu invited them to dinner, they didn't dare to order expensive dishes. After all, they all knew that no one's money came easily.
When the food was served, everyone had a great time eating.
At the end of the dinner, Gu Zeyu settled the wages, two wells, a total of 40 taels.
