Chapter 24 I hit my head
◎[Inverted v starts] Some daily life, it’s raining, and I want to play poker, so I went to Brother Cheng’s house. ◎
The next day, Gu Zeyu got up early. First, he went to find a few men he was familiar with in the village, and asked them to help him. He paid 25 Wen a day to help grow potatoes and sweet potato seedlings.
This kind of potato and sweet potato seedlings are easier than reclaiming wasteland, especially the two crops need to be separated by a palm distance, and they can be planted very quickly.
Gu Zeyu also planted together. He also took on the responsibility of transporting potatoes and sweet potato seedlings. The cart took many trips before it was finished.
Everyone has quick hands and feet, but they planted a large piece of land in one morning, and it has several acres.
There are also people who doubt whether this kind of crops can be grown alive, but this is something that Gu Zeyu needs to worry about. They are all very unfamiliar with these two crops, so they are just talking about them.
During the break at noon, my aunt brought me meals. Because there were not many people invited, I let them deliver the meals. When I was eating, I sat on the ridge of the field and ate with the breeze blowing. All the men ate. Satisfied, the rice is steamed buns and rice dishes, with some meat mixed in.
Gu Zeyu was also very happy. He looked at the yellow land, touched the newly planted sweet potato seedlings, and felt that such a day was pretty good. He did farm work every day, and then waited for the harvest. He worked at sunrise and died at sunset. interest.
In just two days, the potatoes and sweet potato seedlings in Gu Zeyu's field were all planted.
Now, I am looking forward to the next spring rain. The spring rain is as expensive as oil. If it is sprinkled on the fields, the crops will grow vigorously.
I don’t know if God heard the hope of praying for rain. The day after the sweet potato seedlings were planted, the sky became gloomy. The original blue sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and there was even rumbling thunder.
The people in the village were also very happy, and even went out when it first started to rain, and some of them even held containers to catch some rainwater, which is very gratifying when the rain comes in spring.
From time to time, there are three or two children wandering in the village, running around, playing with the rain with their hands, chasing and playing, it is very lively.
Gu Zeyu also went out and walked in the fields. He brought an umbrella, because he was afraid that if he walked far away, the rain would become heavier again. It is not good to catch a cold and get sick.
He walked aimlessly, and unknowingly reached the side of Xiaohuan Mountain, and was about to go to the field to have a look.
At a glance, the sweet potato seedlings were all wet, but they stood there naked, and the surrounding land had turned dark, which was the trace of rainwater.
The wheat planted has unknowingly poked its head out, and most of them have drilled out of the ground. A scene full of vitality is a neat dark green, the color of hope.
Gu Zeyu thought of the two cows at home again, and he hadn't fed them a few times. Most of the time, his uncle got him some fodder when he came to his house. During this period of time, he did a lot of work in the field, and he didn't lose his temper. Work obediently.
The uncle liked the two cows very much, they were very useful livestock in the farm, not to mention that when Gu Zeyu bought them, he picked two young and strong cows, because the calves had not yet grown up and could not do much farm work. I bought a cow that was close to adulthood when I needed it urgently.
Gu Zeyu is not very good at picking livestock, he bought them because of their looks.
I think the cow is very strong and beautiful, and the voice is loud and powerful, especially the two pairs of bull's eyes, both watery, black pupils are very clear, making people feel happy when they look at it, and they walk even more proudly, walking on four hooves Walking up the road, it was a gesture of disapproval, very cute.
Since it came out today, Gu Zeyu is going to cut some grass, bright green grass, cows like to eat this.
He didn't have any tools, so he could only weed the grass with his bare hands. When he got to the grassy place, he quickly gathered a pile of grass, and then found some tough grass stalks, weaved them into a rope, and tied the pile of grass together. Tuantuan was bundled up firmly before carrying it home. At this time, the rain was already pouring heavily, and Gu Zeyu was completely wet, so he picked up the umbrella from the ground and went home.
When I got home, I went to the backyard first, and fed the cows in the shed. Both cows were a little irritable because of the rain.
Seeing that Gu Zeyu fed them green grass, they "mooed" a few times in unison, without being pretentious, and ate them directly in the stone trough.
Gu Zeyu found it very interesting to see it, and touched Niu Niu's head twice with itchy hands, then turned and left.
Then I went back to the house, changed into wet clothes, changed into black dry clothes, brushed my hair again, and went to the kitchen, ready to cook some food.
The temperature dropped suddenly today, Gu Zeyu was going to boil some soup to drink, but he didn't want to drink any vegetable soup, and there were no ribs or anything at home at this time, and the broth was not available.
I can only cook rice porridge, and Gu Zeyu added some dried fruits, such as red dates, which are nutritious and delicious.
The staple food is the steamed buns made a few days ago, and pickles are the only dishes, and Gu Zeyu doesn't know how to make them.
After the fire was lit, Gu Zeyu still felt hot in front of the stove, and seeing the dancing flames, he wished so much that he could roast a sweet potato, how sweet it would be to eat, but it was just a thought, the sweet potato is still a seedling, so be quiet Wait for it to mature.
When the time comes, you can cook sweet potatoes, bake sweet potatoes, make sweet potato balls, sweet potato cakes, and cut them into pieces to directly boil sweet potato water. How great it is.
It's been a long time since I ate, and Gu Zeyu misses it.
After a while, the meal was ready, Gu Zeyu lifted the lid of the pot, took out the steamed buns, put them in the steamed bun basket, then took a bowl full of porridge, took it to the main room, put After arriving at the table, he turned back to the kitchen, extinguished the fire, and took chopsticks and pickles.
This is the beginning of eating. Gu Zeyu ate very deliciously. Although the rice is porridge and side dishes, it tastes like food. The rice from another world is pure natural and pollution-free, with a small yield. Gu Zeyu has always liked to eat it. Compared with modern mechanized production , Cooking rice in an electric pot, this fully artificially grown rice, the rice harvested is full of grain-flavored rice, which is humane. Besides, it is cooked in an earthen stove. The smell of firewood is the taste in memory.
It was finished in a short while.Gu Zeyu was a little lazy today, he didn't want to wash the pots and dishes immediately, but sat by the window and looked out the scenery. Although it was still the same yard, it was not bare, there was some green inside.
The eaves were dripping, and although the raindrops continued, the rain was actually light.
From time to time, the wind blows into the house, Gu Zeyu wants to do something to pass the time, but there is no entertainment in this other world.
He thought of poker and backgammon, which are the first choice for modern people's entertainment.
But there is no hard paper at home, and playing cards are not easy to make. Backgammon, he thought about picking up some pebbles of the same size or other similar small oblate stones, and then dyed some stones. Even if it rains, it can't be implemented. This idea is suppressed for the time being.
Poker needs three people to play, and Gu Zeyu has only one person, so there is no way to play.
He was going to use that thin piece of wood to make cards, because it is strong and the material is easy to obtain, but he has no tools. His first thought was to find Father Cheng, Brother Cheng's father, and ask him to help make some. .
In this way, I can play with my uncle and the others in my spare time for entertainment.
It just so happened that it was already past lunch time, and most of the villagers had eaten, so Gu Zeyu was going to go to Cheng's father's house at this time, and wanted to study whether this card could be made.
I haven't seen Brother Cheng for several days, Gu Zeyu kind of wants to see him.
So he set off with an umbrella. He still didn’t wear a hat or straw rain cape. He was really not used to it. In his previous life, wearing an umbrella had become a habit. Even wearing a raincoat felt restrictive, let alone a heavy straw rain cape.
Although ancient umbrellas were quite expensive, they were nothing to Gu Zeyu. He bought a sturdy umbrella from a time-honored store in the town. It didn’t have any colorful patterns like modern oil-paper umbrellas, and it wasn’t gorgeous at all. , not to mention good-looking.
It's just an ordinary large oiled paper umbrella, except for its durability, it has no other features, except that the color of the oiled paper, brown, is actually a bit ugly.
In fact, there are also umbrellas with pictures on the inside of the oil paper. Gu Zeyu thinks it is unnecessary, so he is the only one who can see the good-looking side.
Not long after they reached Cheng Cheng's house, Gu Zeyu called the door and asked, "Is anyone home?"
This time it was Cheng Cheng who opened the door for him, and he was also holding an umbrella, but that umbrella was relatively small, with a picture of wintersweet painted on it, dotted with red plums and waxing snow, it was very beautiful.
Cheng Cheng looked at him in surprise: "Brother Gu, why did you come to my house? Is there something wrong?"
Cheng Cheng was afraid that Gu Zeyu was here to look for him. For some reason, he was afraid of this.
Gu Zeyu entered the door and stated the purpose of this trip, "I want to ask your father to help me make something, which is a card for entertainment. I want to make it of wood, so it will be more durable."
Cheng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and closed the door without closing it tightly, just covering it up, then turned around and walked to Gu Zeyu's side, walking side by side with him, he asked Gu Zeyu curiously, "What is the card? How do you play it? "
Gu Zeyu explained to Cheng Cheng, "The cards I'm talking about are playing cards. Generally speaking, they are made of cardboard, but it can also be made of wood, but the wood should be made as thin as possible. Playing cards If you want to play, there are many ways to play, such as Doudizhu, you can play cards by connecting some numbers, and you can also bring a different card with three cards."
Gu Zeyu didn't say too much, and introduced that there are 54 cards in total, and there are two special cards called Big King and Little King. They represent the sun and the moon respectively, and they are the most powerful cards. There are four sets of the same cards behind them. Each group of thirteen cards represents the four seasons of the year, that is, spring, summer, autumn and winter, represented by spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs respectively.Hearts and squares represent daytime, spades and clubs represent night.
Cheng Cheng still didn't understand, he was confused, and looked at Gu Zeyu with a coquettish tone, telling him to speak slowly.
Cheng Cheng's footsteps slowly stopped.
Gu Zeyu saw that he was so interested, so he said, "Let's go, let's ask your father if you can do it, and when the time comes, you will understand after playing."
Cheng Cheng pulled him away with some excitement, and he said: "Then let's go quickly, my father is in the main room."
Gu Zeyu followed him, and Ren Cheng's small hand held his sleeve. Because of the difference in height, Cheng even leaned towards Gu Zeyu even when he was wearing an umbrella, and some of the water dripped from his umbrella onto Gu Zeyu's shoulders Yes, but Gu Zeyu didn't say anything.
He walked into the house with only a dozen or so steps left, and he didn't care about it.
The two arrived in the room, put away the umbrella, put it in the corner together, and got up together. At this moment, the two accidentally bumped into each other.
There was a tacit agreement to cover his head at the same time, Gu Zeyu reluctantly made a sound, because he felt that nothing hurts.
Brother Cheng was miserable, he was hit by Gu Zeyu's head unpreparedly, and under the interaction, tears of pain came out.
He hissed, and looked back at Gu Zeyu, but seeing that he was also covering his head, both of them were careless, and he couldn't get angry, so he gave Gu Zeyu a glance, and withdrew his troops, thinking that he was being aggressive .
Who knows, in Gu Zeyu's eyes, this young man's eyes were a little red, and there were some tears looming. Unable to vent, can only be wronged alone, this little appearance is extremely pitiful.
The author says:
One day after Gu Zeyu and Cheng Cheng got together, they were walking around the town when it suddenly rained, so they hurriedly went to sell umbrellas.
The umbrella seller asked which one to sell?Gu Zeyu and Cheng Cheng said in unison, they want this.
Pick up the umbrellas respectively, one is ordinary and the other is beautiful.
They looked at each other and refused to let go.
Ask how to fall in love with different aesthetics.
In the end, Gu Zeyu let it go and told his wife everything when they got married.
He silently put down the umbrella, pointed to the umbrella in Cheng Cheng's hand and said, boss, check out.
