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

Chapter 36

◎Cheng Cheng came to return the poker cards, and chatted with a child on the way to mow the grass. ◎

Cheng Cheng said: "That won't do, I have to return the cards to you. If I want to play, I can borrow them from you, or if you don't mind, I can ask my father to make me another deck of cards. Anyway, he will remember it." It’s just that I don’t know if it will hinder you, after all, only you know how to play poker.”

Cheng Cheng felt that although the playing cards were just for entertainment, they could be played in a variety of ways and could pass the time. If this method could be sold, it would probably fetch a good price.

He has a sense of proportion in his heart, and he can't let Brother Gu suffer.

Gu Zeyu didn't care, and quickly agreed, "Brother Cheng, I'll take this card first. If you still want to play, you can make a few more cards to play. I just happen to know this card, and it's not its creator."

He thought about it again, there is no entertainment in this ancient time, and it would be good to carry forward this card, so he said, "Brother Cheng, this card is of no use to me, why don't you tell your father, If he wants to make more cards and sell them, he can sell as much as he wants, and I will not interfere, after all, it is very hard to make this card."

Cheng Cheng was shocked, Brother Gu actually gave up this opportunity to earn money by selling cards to his father?

Wouldn't Brother Gu be at a loss?How unfair to Brother Gu.

So he said: "Brother Gu, I'll go back and tell my father what you think, and see if he will make some more cards to sell, but even if he can sell them, he has to give you half of the money."

Gu Zeyu said: "There is no need to give me a share. It took nearly two days to make that deck of cards. It took a lot of work. If Cheng Abo could sell the cards to make money, he would have earned hard money. How can he share it with me? , I won’t want it, brother Cheng, you don’t need to say any more.”

Gu Zeyu's attitude is quite firm, he is not short of money, besides, this peasant family has a way of earning money, which is not easy to come by, he actually knows that although the Cheng family both farms the land and does carpentry work, their family background is low. Medium level, no other way to make money.

If it can increase the Cheng family's income, he is naturally happy, after all, it is the family of the person he likes, well, his future father-in-law's family.

Cheng Cheng is very simple, even if he heard that Brother Gu refused, he didn't want to take advantage of him, he thought for a while and said: "Brother Gu, it's your way anyway, if you sell the money, I must give you some , don’t refuse, don’t you think money is hot?”

Gu Zeyu smiled helplessly, seeing Brother Cheng's serious expression, how could he refuse, he naturally agreed.

"Okay, let's do it like this, but if you can't sell it for a tael of silver, don't give it to me."

"Well, that's fine."

Cheng Cheng was about to leave. After all, he had been talking to Brother Gu for a long time on this road, and there were already passing villagers pointing and pointing, always looking at them.

He couldn't hold it anymore, his face was a little red, he was really afraid that the villagers might misunderstand something.

So he said goodbye to Gu Zeyu, saying that there was still something to do at home, so he had to leave first.

Gu Zeyu put the card on the front, watched him leave silently, and continued to take the tools to the place where the grass was mowed. It was a place with a small river. A few meters wide.

The water is very clear, there is no scene of turbulent waves and snow rolls, only the soft sound of impacting stones, almost can see the bottom, and you can see the stones in the water. This is the upstream, the water quality is also very good, and you can see some The fish swam by suddenly, but they were not very big.

People in the village don't know how to cook fish, and the fish here are small and hard to catch, so they only come to catch some small fish to satisfy their cravings when they haven't had any meat in their mouths for many days.

Gu Zeyu's main purpose is to mow grass, so he only looked at the small river a few times, and in the end he settled on the fresh and tender grass, and took a sickle to mow a lot. After cutting a lot, this time he directly took the rope and tied it around twice so that it would not fall off.

Suddenly, I saw a child herding ducks, and unknowingly came to the edge of the small river. It was a little boy. His clothes were worn out, patched several times, and a bit too big. The clothes didn't fit him well. It's like stealing an adult's clothes.

When the boy saw Gu Zeyu standing there, he seemed to have turned his head to change places. Looking at his expression, he was a little panicked.

This made Gu Zeyu wonder, he is not a bad person, so maybe he would eat him, why would he leave after seeing him.

He became interested and called the child: "Hey, child, why did you leave when you saw me?"

The child stopped walking suddenly, and there was a very simple emotion in his black eyes, that is fear, he stammered: "Well, my mother said that you have been a soldier and killed people, you are very powerful, but It's terrible, tell me not to get close to you, if I offend you, I won't be able to withstand your fist if I get beaten."

The child thought to himself, how painful it is.

So this time when he saw this black-faced and strong man, he turned his head and was about to leave, but because he was still chasing ducks, he couldn't run fast, and who knew he was stopped by this man.

Gu Zeyu was helpless at what he said, his image is so bad, isn't the purpose of being a soldier to protect his family and country?He thought it should be a respectable profession, but it was necessary to explain it, lest the kid run away if he saw him.

He tried to speak in a gentler tone, and said to the child: "Son, let me tell you, the purpose of being a soldier is to protect the security of the country, and you will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. People who plunder, and even if I am very powerful, maybe I can kill a young man with one punch, I will never beat people indiscriminately."

"Especially a child like you is a flower that needs to be cherished. I will protect you first in case of danger." Pointing at him again, he said earnestly.

The kid didn't know if he believed it, but he just nodded silently and said, "I see, you are a good person, big brother."

Hearing what he said, Gu Zeyu laughed with a 'puchi', feeling a little helpless, and was sent another good card.

Just as he was about to reply, he heard a 'grumbling' sound from the opposite side. After listening carefully, it was the little boy's stomach growling.

Gu Zeyu didn't care about the child's embarrassing expression, and quickly took out his pocket. Fortunately, he likes to put some candy on his body recently, so he took it out now to see how many are left.

I handed it to the child and said, "It just so happens that I don't like candy very much, so I'll give it to you."

The child didn't dare to pick it up, so he raised his eyes to observe his expression, and was surprised to see that he didn't like it. There are people who don't like candy.

In fact, the kid drank some porridge today, and went out to chase ducks. After walking around for a long time, he was already hungry, and he has been enduring it, but he is a child after all, and after seeing Gu Zeyu gave him candy, he finally took it.

But he was willing to eat one, just dip it in sweetness, he was going to take the leftover candy home and give it to his younger siblings, they hadn't eaten candy for a long time.

Seeing him eating, Gu Zeyu felt happy, and asked him, "What's your name, kid?"

After eating his candy, the child was no longer afraid of him, and replied crisply, "My name is Chu Zhile."

Gu Zeyu was a little surprised to hear that the surname was not Gu, because more than half of the people in Gujia Village had the surname Gu, and the few with foreign surnames settled here because of marriage or difficulties.

Because people with foreign surnames who moved to Gujia Village by accident had no roots, even if they were allocated land, they were generally poor, and they lived by farming that little land, barely able to make ends meet.

It was reasonable to say that this child growled with hunger in the morning, so he must have eaten nothing in the morning, or had eaten a little.

Gu Zeyu can actually help him, but his ability is limited, even if he can help for a while, he won't be able to help him forever.

This made him desperately hope that his plan to plant new crops will be successful, or that the next planting of fruit trees will be successful.

In this way, he may be able to hire more poor families in the village, and children like this may also go to him to do some odd jobs. At least they can earn some money, buy some food, and their living conditions can be better.

Chu Zhile saw that the man stayed there, as if he was in deep thought, and ignored him, so he said a word, and then left by himself, he had to let the ducks go, if he didn't care, the ducks would go far away and swim to It is not easy to rush back to the small river.

When Gu Zeyu heard what the child said, he didn't think about it any more. It's up to man to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. Whether it's farming the land or planting fruit trees, God's favor is indispensable.

He can only do his best and let it be.

Waiting for the flowers to bloom, waiting for the harvest.

He turned around and picked up the pile of grass, easily held it in his hand, and walked home steadily.

After arriving at home, I went to feed the two cows, then went to the house and took out the basket, took some old boards and circled a small area in the yard, and let the chickens and ducklings out, let them Move around, the basket is really too small, ten small animals squeeze the basket to the brim, and it is estimated that if you move around a little bit in it, you will meet another fluffy.

The chickens and ducks that were placed on the ground were very excited, running back and forth, and occasionally lowered their heads to peck at the small stones on the ground. Gu Zeyu also put some grass in, but he didn't know if they would eat or not.

He also thought that if he didn't eat it, he could just use it as a decoration.

I took another bowl with a gap and filled it with a full bowl of water, arranged them, and put them in the small circle.

After being fully prepared, Gu Zeyu turned around and prepared to go into the house to get some water to wash his hands, and then he was ready to go to town. The letter he wrote yesterday had to be mailed.

So I took the letter and filled a bamboo tube with water and prepared to go to the town. I didn’t want to take the bullock cart this time, I was going to walk there. The road was full of red flowers and green grass. It was very gratifying, and it happened that the time was not urgent. , It is also very pleasant to watch all the way.

The author says:

The name Chu Zhile sounds nice, haha, this kid will appear in the future.
