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

Chapter 63

◎The well-drilling has been arranged, and Cheng Cheng came to deliver shoes and clothes to Gu Zeyu. ◎

Jin Ming had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​feeding his own wife, and suddenly thought that there was a strange man waiting outside.

Also went out.

I saw my little brother, Jin Xueyue, chatting happily with that man, and he would cry out in surprise from time to time, anyway, the two of them got along very happily.

Jin Ming hurried over and said with a sullen face, "Brother Xue, come here quickly."

In fact, he was a little bit envious. My brother Xue was afraid of him since he was a child, but he had never been so open in front of him. How happy he looked, with curved eyebrows and eyes, and a smile on his face. laugh.

Brother Xue heard his father calling him, and ran over with a guilty conscience, "Father, I'll be right here."

He trotted all the way there because he was afraid that his father would be angry, because his father would not let him talk to strangers at will, and because he just wanted to ask this brother for help to teach his father a lesson.

He raised his smiling face this time, took the initiative to hold his father's arm, and said sweetly: "Father, I'm hungry, is the meal ready?"

Jin Ming, who was rarely acted like a baby by Brother Xue, naturally couldn't bear it, his darkened face recovered immediately, he picked up Brother Xue, and said, "Go, father will take you to dinner."

Jin Ming didn't forget to turn around and tell Gu Zeyu: "Brother, wait a little longer, I have to serve this little guy for dinner."

Gu Zeyu said: "Okay, it doesn't matter if I wait."

After speaking, he went to sit on the stone bench under the grape arbor, but in the end he couldn't help but look back at the father and son.

It was quite a heartwarming scene, Jin Ming probably loved his child very much, seeing the nervous look, and the expression on his face that changed in vain because of the child's words.

Sure enough, no matter how tough and iron-blooded a man is, he will still be defeated when he meets Ruozhirou.

Just like him, when he met Brother Cheng, he was full of passion and tenderness.

There was also a smile on the corner of Gu Zeyu's mouth, but well, he likes Brother Cheng, and he is happy for any changes in himself.

-

About a quarter of an hour later, Jin Ming came to Gu Zeyu.

Jin Ming cupped his fists to apologize to Gu Zeyu, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm really busy today, and I made you wait so long."

He asked him again: "You came to ask me to dig a well, I just happen to be free these days, and I can take a few brothers to survey the terrain in a while."

Gu Zeyu nodded in agreement, but his request was somewhat different, "I am from Gu's Village, and I am here to dig two deep wells in my field for watering the crops. I don't know if you are sure of success. "

Jin Ming pondered for a while, this is really different from the orders he received before, it is too extravagant to dig a well in the field.

A well comes down to get 20 taels of silver.

He carefully observed Gu Zeyu's expression again, it was very serious and formal, not like a joke.

Jin Ming didn't guarantee it, but said: "I have to go to see the terrain there first, and then I can confirm whether it is possible to drill wells there."

Gu Zeyu thought that this guy was cautious, so he gave him a high look, Jin Ming must be someone with real skills.

He replied: "That's fine, Uncle Jin Ming, I'll show you the way later."

Seeing that he was addressing him politely, Jin Ming relaxed his expression, and said directly, "Just wait at my house for a while, and I'll call some brothers over."

Gu Zeyu nodded.

Without much effort, Jin Ming brought three men over. They were all middle-aged men like him, with some muscles on their bodies, and they looked very strong.

After several people said hello to each other, Jin Ming said: "Everyone is here, let's go now."

But as soon as he walked to the door, he said, "I forgot to tell my wife, I have to go to work, wait for me a little longer, and I will be right back." His face was full of anxiety.

Some of the men Jin Ming brought laughed at him, "Brother Jin is still so fearful of internal affairs, every time he goes out he has to tell his wife where he is."

Another younger man retorted, "That's because Big Brother Jin Ming is a good man. Tell me where you are, so that your family won't worry."

Gu Zeyu was more in favor of Jin Ming's actions, but he didn't expect this guy to be more careful.

He smoothed things over and said, "Both of you are polite. By the way, this is my first time drilling a well, and I don't understand many things very well. How long does it take to drill a well?"

The young man was more active. He said: "We have been drilling wells for half our lives, so we are quite experienced. If we drill shallow wells, it will take half a month at the fastest, and at least a month for deeper wells."

Gu Zeyu expressed his understanding, and then asked some other questions about drilling wells, and chatted with them.

Soon Jin Ming came back, closed the door, and joined Gu Zeyu and the others. The other three also greeted him one after another. Jin Ming was their leader and had the best well-drilling skills, so they naturally took him first.

-

When Gu Zeyu brought a group of people to the field, no one in the village noticed it. After all, the fields on both sides happened to be in different directions.

"It's here. I want to drill two wells in this field." Gu Zeyu pointed to a large piece of land in front of him and said.

The four members of the well-drilling team were a little surprised, and someone questioned, "It's not very cost-effective to dig a well in the field? You don't own this land alone, and you can't stop others from using water."

Gu Zeyu smiled unfathomably, and said: "Don't worry about it, I won't suffer any losses. I will just dig a well here. Please survey the terrain and see if you can drill two wells."

He really won't be at a disadvantage, and he won't let anyone take advantage of him. You know, this piece of land is all his.

But this fact should not be flaunted, Gu Zeyu thinks it is better to keep a low profile.

Of course, Jin Ming and the others found out the truth soon after, and didn't say anything.

The employer gave them money, and they worked hard. They were all straightforward men, so there was nothing to worry about.

Jin Ming said: "This well should be able to be drilled. From my perspective, the soil layer here is relatively deep. If the well is drilled, the probability of water production is relatively high."

Gu Zeyu said: "Then please."

Jin Ming and the others didn't stay for a long time, saying that they would bring professional tools to investigate again tomorrow, and then returned to the town.

The next day, Gu Zeyu went to the uncle's house and the village chief's house early in the morning, and informed him that the well drilling team had been found, and said that he would survey the terrain today, and if it worked, he would start drilling the well.

The village chief was quite interested in watching the well drilling, after all, no one in the village had drilled wells for nearly ten years.

Uncle Gu also went, there wasn't much work in the field these days, so he went to join in the fun, and it would be nice to check in on Gu Zeyu, after all, his nephew was still young and didn't have a family yet.

Of course, this is just Uncle Gu's own thoughts. Others don't think that Gu Zeyu is easy to provoke. He is 21 and a young man, but he should not be underestimated.

Because of the village chief's visit, the villagers naturally knew about Gu Zeyu's plan to dig a well in the field.

It was a moment of surprise and fright.

But when he thought of Gu Zeyu, he silently felt that it was a matter of course.

Except for him, there is probably no one in the village who has such background and courage to drill two wells at once.

However, digging wells used to be a major event for the whole village. Normally, there was one well for each village. Now that the situation is better, families who can afford it will pay to dig a well in their yard, which is convenient for use.

With such a lively event, many people from the village came to Gu Zeyu's land, that is, Xiaohuan Mountain, to watch the well digging.

But I was a little disappointed when I went there. I haven't decided where to dig the well yet, and no construction has started. Only a few well-drillers who seem to be strong are surveying the terrain and walking the entire field.

I also went to observe where the wells in the village are distributed.

It was not until two or three days later that the matter finally came to fruition and the location of the well was determined.

Because Gu Zeyu wanted to drill two wells, and he wanted to dig deeper and finish them as soon as possible. Money was not a problem, so Jin Ming found five or six well-drillers, all of whom were experienced, and started to work.

I set off from the town early every day, and a group of men returned in the evening.

Gu Zeyu believed in their abilities, so he simply paid half of the deposit first, and worked together for a few days. He knew that it was not so easy for them to earn money. It took ten days and a half months to dig a well. get the money.

But after so many years of drilling wells, the wells around here are somewhat saturated, and there is no need to drill many wells anymore.

So they barely have enough food and clothing, and often do other jobs to subsidize their families.

This man Jin Ming was quite touched by Gu Zeyu's actions. He fisted Gu Zeyu and said, "You man, it's not surprising that I, Jin Ming, have made friends with you. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come If you can help me, I am obliged.”

Gu Zeyu: "Well, okay." He said and responded with his fist.

As usual, on the day when the well was dug, a good day was chosen, suitable for breaking ground and digging wells.

And also a little sacrifice, worship God and the land, and then began to dig the well.

Digging a well is a laborious job. Gu Zeyu would send some mung bean soup or some other tea from time to time. Anyway, he was a pretty good employer.

At least that's what the man who followed Jin Ming to dig a well for him thought so.

Since they started digging the well, they didn't go back at noon. A group of people brought dry food, and Gu Zeyu also welcomed them to heat or even cook at his house, and sometimes bought them some cooked meat as a little extra.

This salary is pretty good, so these guys put in more effort to dig wells. After all, the well digging is based on the amount of money per well, not the daily wages.

After finishing the job of Gu Zeyu's family as soon as possible, they can take on other well digging jobs.

-

After the well drilling officially started, Cheng Cheng took the initiative to visit Gu Zeyu's house.

Cheng Cheng said that he wanted to send him shoes and clothes that had already been made.

Originally, the shoes would be given to him after that day, but the next day was a bit busy, and then I heard that Gu Zeyu was busy digging a well, so I decided to give it to him a few days later, just in time to speed up and rush out a set of clothes out.

Gu Zeyu touched the shoes and clothes that Brother Cheng made for him with his hands at that time, and he was very excited. Anyway, he couldn't restrain himself for a while, but hugged Brother Cheng for a while.

"Brother Cheng, thank you for making clothes for me. I like them very much. This clothes is made in your hands, but it is different from others. I will cherish it." He buried Cheng Cheng's neck, and even He lowered his head and rubbed, as if he was acting like a baby.

This may be the first time he really wears handmade clothes, after all, he is not the old Gu Zeyu.

Cheng Cheng felt that Big Brother Gu was very soft at the moment, so he hugged Big Brother Gu back with his hands. He didn't know whether he was comforting him or something else, and even touched Gu Zeyu's head.

"Well, it's fine if you like it, Brother Gu, why don't you try it now, if the size is not suitable, I just take it back and change it." Cheng Cheng said calmly, his clear eyes were full of the man in front of him.
