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

◎Deliberately bought Cheng Chengxiu's purse, happy. ◎

Gu Zeyu comforted himself in this way, put the purse in his arms, went back to the grain store, moved the rice noodles he bought, and left directly. He only bought rice noodles for about half a month, and didn't buy too much.

Then he went to buy some seasonings such as lard and salt. He didn’t know much about the kitchen, so he also bought some spices from the store, because there were some he knew, such as pepper, star anise, cumin, cilantro, etc. leaf.He also came a little bit, and it is estimated that it can be used.

Finally, I realized that there were still important quilts I didn’t buy. I still remembered that there seemed to be some for sale at the place where the fabrics were sold, so I went back and bought two quilts and two sheets. Because it’s spring, Gu Zeyu bought them. The quilt is of medium thickness, one bed is prepared as a mattress, and the other is used as a quilt to cover the body.

The quilt weighs five catties and is a newly made cotton quilt. It feels fluffy and warm just by touching it.

Gu Zeyu also likes this handmade quilt very much. It is rougher than modern mechanical cotton quilts, but it is very warm, as if you can smell the breath of cotton that has been exposed to the sun.

Full of joy, he carried the quilt to the bullock cart, and couldn't think of what to buy for a while, but it was unreasonable not to buy something to eat when he came to the town, so he went to buy a few catties of pork, and bought fat and thin meat. , and bought a few catties of cakes, ready to sweeten the mouth of Brother Yu from the uncle's family. He subconsciously thought that Brother Yu would like to eat these sweet and greasy cakes.

He didn't know what kind of pastries were delicious, so he almost bought a few pieces of the signature ones, and then took them away.

When I finally returned to the bullock cart, I returned with a full load.

Gu Zeyu got into the car and told the old man that he could go and go to Gujia Village.

The old man is also talkative. Seeing that he bought so many basic daily necessities, he also asked him if he just came back from other places. Most people buy semi-finished products for their family to make, and save some money.

Gu Zeyu smiled and replied: "I have been serving as a soldier outside for several years, and I just came back a few days ago. There is a lack of everything at home. I am not here to do some shopping, so I can live in my home."

The old man looked at him with admiration. He has been in the army for several years these days, so he must be capable, because Zhaoguo's current conscription is voluntary, not mandatory. The policy is better, but ordinary people are also They only stayed for a year or two before coming back, and those who can stay are all well-behaved and superb martial arts.

So I chatted with Gu Zeyu all the way while driving the ox cart, talking about interesting things and anecdotes from time to time. This old man has a lot of experience, and he has a lot of words in his stomach. Speaking of it, Gu Zeyu is not an ordinary person, he has a lot of experience, and there is no obstacle in chatting with the old man, and he often expresses fresh opinions on certain things.

This made the old man lament that young people are awesome, and he wanted to introduce his daughter to him as soon as he changed the subject, and praised how beautiful her daughter is, and she can go to the living room and the kitchen, so she is a perfect match for him.

Gu Zeyu tactfully refused, saying: "I like my younger brother more, and I also have a crush on a younger brother recently, and the two are getting along."

Hearing this, the old man stopped his drums, lamenting that this good man is already a man, and his daughter seems to have no fate with Gu Zeyu.

The conversation between the two ended here, and the old man also concentrated on driving the ox cart. After a while, he arrived at Gujia Village. Gu Zeyu directed the old man to stop in front of his house, and then the two of them moved the things on the ox cart to the place. In the house, after Gu Zeyu settled the money, he waved his hand and said to pay attention to safety on the road, and then entered the house.

He had to tidy up everything. He wanted to put the quilt on the bed, but then he realized that the bed was bare, without even a mat. There are traces of mice gnawing, and the door of the cabinet is also broken. The table is still usable, but the stools are not good, and some are rotten.

It seems that I have to buy some wood products such as furniture and mats, but I just came back from the town, so I can't go again.

Although these things are not in short supply, they are also suitable for use. From his memory, he learned that there was a carpenter in the village. When he thought about it, it turned out to be Cheng Cheng's father.

Now that he could see Cheng Cheng again, he didn't know why he just wanted to tease that little brother, thinking that something uncontrollable might happen if this went on, but he still followed his heart without restraint.

So I divided the pastry I just bought into two, and prepared to take it out for brother Cheng to taste. After all, I was going to his house to order something, and it was considered polite to bring some greetings.

It was still afternoon, and the sun was cold and bright in spring. Gu Zeyu bathed in the sun and walked towards Cheng Cheng's house.

He is tall and his feet are fast, but it takes only one stick of incense to arrive.

This time, he didn't push the door casually, but knocked on the door rhythmically, and shouted loudly, is anyone at home?

Soon someone opened the door in response, and opened the door with a slender white hand, a little brother appeared in front of him, he was still in the clothes borrowed from the ladder in the morning, blue and white, handsome and pleasant, with red lips and white teeth, a lively and beautiful boy.

The young man was very puzzled, why did Gu Zeyu come here again?His uncle has returned the ladder.

Cheng Cheng asked, "What's the matter with you coming to my house?"

Gu Zeyu said straightforwardly: "I want to buy a wardrobe from Cheng Abo, some stools, and a mat. I don't know if you have any ready-made ones at home."

Cheng Cheng didn't know too well, so he let him in sideways, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to find my father."

Cheng's father saw Gu Zeyu and Cheng Cheng coming together, and asked him what he wanted?

Cheng Cheng looked at his father and said, "Father, brother Gu said he wants to buy a wardrobe, some stools, um, and a straw mat. He wants to make it now, do we have any?"

When Gu Zeyu heard him call himself Big Brother Gu, he was very close. He knew that it was because of his mother's request, but there was still a burst of sweetness in his heart, which made him feel very comfortable.

Cheng's father said: "There happens to be a ready-made wardrobe, and the others are also in stock. You came here just in time, and the tung oil is just fresh."

He led him to look at the wardrobe that had been dried in the shade, and asked him: "What do you think of this? Does it look right?"

This wardrobe is painted with dark red paint and tung oil that prevents insects and decay. The style is very simple double doors. There is a wooden board blocking the bottom, which can store some quilts and so on. It looks like a modern cabinet. It's almost the same, only the handle is more colorful, and it is also carved with patterns, which is very beautiful.

Gu Zeyu directly said that he wanted this.

Seeing how neat he was, Cheng's father said: "We are all from the same village, and I watched you grow up. This price is the lowest for you. Let me give you four hundred Wen, and two hundred Wen for materials. , two hundred Wen and manual fee, what do you think?"

Gu Zeyu also knew that this was the price of conscience, he said: "Okay, let's use this price, if you don't pass through, Uncle, you can find me some stools and mats."

Cheng's father had the most stools here, so he took five of them at once, and asked Gu Zeyu if he had enough, and even gave Gu Zeyu one of the mats directly, saying it was worthless, so just take it.

Gu Zeyu gave way again and again, but whoever made Cheng's father a big deal, he was very enthusiastic, and he would be angry if he didn't accept it.

The stools only cost [-] cents, and they usually cost [-] cents each.

After the two agreed, Gu Zeyu was ready to pay the money. He touched his bosom, only to recall that he had changed the money bag today, and it was money wrapped in a pouch, but at this time he had no choice but to take it out.

He took out his purse, which was exactly the ink lotus embroidered by Cheng Cheng. He took out half a tael, which was [-] Wen, and paid for it. Cheng's father didn't pay attention to his purse, and went straight to finding [-] Wen for him.

Then I went to the backyard to push the scooter, ready to deliver the goods to his home.

Cheng Cheng, who was standing beside him, was surprised. This purse looks like the one sold today. Mo He is his best skill, and his technique is also like his, but he can't question Gu Zeyu from time to time. Buy the purse he embroidered.

That's too self-indulgent.It is estimated that Gu Zeyu just bought a random purse as a purse, who knows that he just bought the purse that he sold into the embroidery workshop.

He couldn't help looking and looking, but still didn't ask Gu Zeyu, but his eyes rolled around, and his face couldn't hide his doubts.

Gu Zeyu knew that Cheng Cheng recognized the purse he had embroidered, but he is not a fool, so it's fine if he doesn't admit it.

He looked at Cheng Cheng with a smile, without saying a word, stroked the ink lotus on the purse a few times, and then put it into his arms again.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Cheng couldn't guess whether he knew it was a purse embroidered by him, and he struggled for a while before he had time to leave.

Cheng's father came back soon, and he pushed back the cart, which was covered with a layer of straw to prevent the wardrobe from being bumped.

Greeting Gu Zeyu, the two put the wardrobe on the trolley together, and then put the stool on it, and finally tied it with a rope, and then prepared to push the trolley with Gu Zeyu. After all, this big wardrobe is still very heavy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng's father adjusted the direction of the cart, he heard someone calling him. After going there, he realized that he was asked to go home to help repair the table legs. The table accidentally fell, and a piece of the leg fell off. Thinking about whether it can be supplemented, it is not cost-effective to buy another table.

Here, Gu Zeyu could easily push the scooter by himself, so he greeted Cheng's father, "Cheng Abo, go and help him fix the table, I can push it alone."

Unexpectedly, when Cheng's father saw the crumbling stool on the cart, he directly said to Cheng Cheng next to him, "Brother Cheng, you can help my father take a trip to Zeyu's house, and help him hold on to the stool. It's gone, my father is busy repairing the table, so I'll trouble you."

Then he took the tools and went out the door.

Cheng Cheng's eyes widened, pointed at himself, and said, "Me?"

This father didn't know that he had made a fuss a few days ago and had an oolong. Every time he saw this guy, he was embarrassed and wished he could find a hole in the ground to get in. It would take ten days and a half a month for this matter to settle in his heart. In the past, but who knows that he has frequently met Gu Zeyu in the past few days, so he can't forget it even more.

Every time we met, things would happen frequently, Cheng Cheng really wanted to hide from Gu Zeyu for a while.

But there is no other way now, Cheng Cheng looked at Gu Zeyu with hope in his eyes, and his tone was a bit coquettish: "Brother Gu, you should be able to push the wardrobe and stool home by yourself with such great strength. I think I can help you It's nothing to do, you can transport it back by yourself."

Seeing Cheng Cheng's question, Gu Zeyu did not agree. He said: "I am strong, but the stool is not tied firmly, and it is easy to fall off on the road. I need someone to support me."

Seeing that he didn't agree, Cheng Cheng suddenly became depressed, as if the flowers had all withered.

However, he still helped him carefully along the way, because of his lack of height, it was a bit difficult, so Gu Zeyu also slowed down his pace.

On the way, Cheng Cheng didn't hold back and asked him: "Your purse for silver is very similar to the one I embroidered. Where did you buy it?"

Gu Zeyu smiled and said, "The embroidery house in the town is called Jinxiuxuan."

Cheng Cheng's heart trembled, this is not the shop where he sells embroidery.

He then asked, "Then do you know me,,,"

Before Cheng Cheng finished speaking, Gu Zeyu interrupted. Gu Zeyu looked into his eyes and said, "I bought the purse you embroidered on purpose."

The author says:

At this time, Cheng Cheng thought, Gu Zeyu, why did you buy my embroidered purse on purpose, and still look at me with that serious look.

My heart was pounding, I thought you liked me.

Happy New Years Eve everyone!
