Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 71 Returning Home Poor Little One 68

Gu Hongzhe and Gu Nuanyi have only been together for a short time, but they get along like an old married couple.

Gu Nuanyi was translating books or drawing designs in the house, while Gu Hongzhe went to the mountains to collect firewood whenever he had time.

Now Gu Nuanyi's firewood room is full, so he built a shed next to it to store firewood.

Occasionally, he would shoot some pheasants, rabbits, wild boars, etc. and send them to Pan Zhan.

At first, Gu Nuanyi felt it was interesting and followed it a few times, but later on, she lost interest.

"You're not going again? You sit at your desk every day, you should go out and move around."

"I don't know what's wrong with the weather this year. It's so stuffy and I don't want to move."

"Then let's go to the creek to catch some fish? Or go to the mountains to look for wild fruits?"

Gu Nuanyi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Then let's go to the stream, the water in the stream is quite cool!"

It was already autumn, but it was still very hot. After walking a few steps outside, Gu Nuanyi felt sluggish.

"Why are you like that plant... you wilt when exposed to the sun..."

Gu Nuan said listlessly: "It's really stuffy, I feel tired even breathing..."

Gu Hongzhe frowned and said worriedly: "Are you sick? Let's not go to Xiaoxi, let's go to the hospital!!"

Gu Nuanyi shook her head: "It's because of the weather. I'm fine."

Not only Gu Nuanyi felt stuffy, many people in the team felt stuffy.

"This day is very strange this year. I hope it won't rain during the autumn harvest."

One person looked up and looked at the cloud carefully: "It's hard to say..."

Gu Nuanyi quickened her pace and came to the stream, soaked her feet in the stream, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so cool and comfortable~~~"

Gu Hongzhe was concentrating on catching the small fish. When he had caught almost all the fish, he squatted downstream with a knife to clean the fish's internal organs.

The processed small fish are cleaned and neatly placed in the basket

Gu Nuanyi smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Azhe!!!"

The autumn harvest is getting closer, but the weather doesn't seem to be getting any cooler.

Even if the weather is hot, we still have to collect all the grain. The date for paying the public grain will not be postponed for a few days just because of the hot weather.

Time soon came to the mobilization meeting before the autumn harvest, and Gu Nuanyi also stood in the audience and listened to Gu Qianjin's passionate speech.

The more Gu Nuanyi listened, the more familiar it sounded. Gu Xinyu whispered, "My dad's speech is the same every year. It never changes!!!"

"I was wondering why it sounded so familiar!!!"

"It's just a process. In the end, it all depends on how much grain we can harvest. It doesn't matter whether these words change or not..."

After Gu Qianjin finished his speech, he began to assign tasks to each person.

"Xiao Nuan! Are you going to the brigade headquarters to dry the rice or to the fields this time?"

"Uncle, I'll go to the fields this time!"

"Okay, then you can go harvest the corn like you did last year. The weather doesn't look good this year, so we have to hurry and harvest everything in the field."

Gu Nuanyi learned from the last time she was cut by corn leaves, so she went to work in the fields wearing long sleeves and long pants.

Not only that, he also wore a straw hat on his head, a cloth wrapped around his face, a towel around his neck, and gloves on his hands. The only thing exposed on his body was his eyes.

Gu Xinyu looked him up and down in surprise, and finally recognized him through his exposed eyes: "You...you are Xiao Nuan? Aren't you hot like this?"

"It's hot! But this way I won't get tanned and won't be cut by corn leaves. I don't want to be completely black after the autumn harvest."

"I'll get one too." Gu Xinyu quickly ran home and covered her whole body.

After a busy day, Gu Nuanyi dragged her tired body back home and took a shower first.

After taking a shower, I collapsed in a chair and took a big sip of water: "Phew, I'm alive!!!"

Gu Hongzhe looked so distressed: "Xiao Nuan, let's not go tomorrow!"

Gu Nuanyi shook her head: "The sky has been gloomy these past few days. I don't know when it will rain. We should quickly collect all the crops in the fields. It would be a pity if they get wet in the rain."

"Then take it easy. I'll finish my work quickly and help you tomorrow!"

Gu Nuanyi shook her head: "The task assigned to you is not easy, don't worry, I will take a break when I am tired."

Gu Hongzhe touched Gu Nuanyi's head and asked, "What are you having for dinner?"

"Just eat something simple. I'm too tired and don't have much appetite..."

Gu Hongzhe made cold noodles for dinner. After eating and washing the dishes, he saw Gu Nuanyi sleeping on the table.

Gold and silver are guarding at Gu Nuanyi's feet

Gu Hongzhe was about to carry Gu Nuanyi back to the room to sleep. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Jinzi and Yinzi baring their teeth at him and growling in a low voice as a warning.

Gu Hongzhe explained in a low voice: "It's uncomfortable to sleep on the table, I'll send her back to the room to sleep!"

Gu Nuanyi woke up when she heard the sound. Jinzi and Yinzi immediately put away their teeth and put their heads on Gu Nuanyi's legs obediently.

"You two's faces change so quickly!!!"

"what happened?"

"You just fell asleep there, and these two protected you and wouldn't let me carry you back!"

Gu Nuanyi patted Jinzi and Yinzi's heads and said, "My dear! Go get the dried meat yourself!"

Jinzi and Yinzi glanced at Gu Hongzhe proudly, their eyes seemed to say: See~~ You can't compare to us~~~

"Look at them!!! They glanced at me!!!"

Gu Nuanyi patted Gu Hongzhe's arm: "Why are you fussing over them..." Then she yawned: "You should also go back and rest early, you'll be busy tomorrow!!"

The sky on the second day was even darker. Gu Qianjin looked at the sky with a worried look on his face: "We need to speed up!!!"

The brigade secretary also had a worried look on his face: "Then let's have everyone work for a while after dinner, for processing points!!"

“This is the only way!!!”

On the third day, I started work earlier.

Just as Gu Nuanyi carried the full basket out of the cornfield, the rain started to fall.

"Oh my god, it's raining! Go to the drying yard to harvest rice and corn!!!"

"Hurry, hurry, move those things back from the field!!!"

It was a rainy day, with heavy rain falling. By the time we ran from the field to the drying yard, everyone was soaked.

Fortunately, all the grain in the drying yard had been stored in the warehouse, and only the grain that had just been carried back from the fields got wet.

"It's raining too heavily! How can we harvest the crops in the field..." Gu Qianjin was so anxious that he kept turning around with his hands behind his back.

"Oh God, please stop raining, the crops in the fields haven't been harvested yet!!!" Everyone was worried, as this was related to whether they could fill their stomachs!!!

Gu Qianjin, the brigade secretary and the brigade finance officer discussed and said, "Don't wait for the rain to stop. Let's grab the sickles and harvest the rice now! Get the rice back first!!!"

"Okay!" The guys rushed into the rain, carrying sickles and backpacks.
