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

◎Li Tonglai thanked Gu Zeyu, the matter of the mountain people has been resolved, and the fruit trees have taken shape. ◎

Gu Zeyu was also very happy to see the success of this matter, and quickly asked him to come into the room to talk.

Li Tong put the things on the table again, and said at the same time: "Brother Zeyu, these are some specialties I got from home, and I bought five catties of meat and some pastries. You must accept them and don't refuse them. To thank you, the brothers of the mountain people chipped in to buy it, and it is not expensive, so you can eat it."

Gu Zeyu had no choice but to accept it. He was very happy in his heart. He didn't expect this matter to be successful, but he still said: "You don't need to thank me. I just wrote a letter to General Wei Yan and became a lobbyist. Forget it, I have to thank General Wei Yan for all of this, he must have contributed a lot in this, I will write a book later, thank him for his efforts, and let the mountain people get out of the predicament."

Li Tong looked at him gratefully, treated him like a benefactor, and said: "Don't refuse, it's the way you came up with, besides, if I still can't talk to General Wei Yan, it's all about your efforts It is even more indispensable."

Gu Zeyu smiled heartily, did not deny it, and just admitted it.

Seeing that his lips were all chapped, he went to pour two bowls of water. The boiled water was let cool and used for normal drinking. Gu Zeyu was not used to drinking the water directly from the well. Drinking water can easily cause stomach pains.

Then Li Tong took it and drank it in one gulp. He was indeed thirsty.

Gu Zeyu also took a sip of water, and then asked him, "I'm looking for someone who can take care of fruit trees, and I also want to buy some fruit tree seedlings. I don't know if you know such a person over there."

Li Tong was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he replied seriously: "I know this person who can take care of fruit trees. He is also my relative. I call him uncle, but we are not very close. Close, he used to plant fruit trees for several years, and the harvest was not bad at that time, better than farming, but there was little rain in one year, some droughts, and the yield of fruit trees decreased. Woolen cloth."

But he still asked Gu Zeyu, "Are you going to plant fruit trees? You have to think twice, fruit trees are not easy to grow. My uncle spent most of his family's money on fruit seedlings in the early stage, and the fruits that grew in the first year were very small. Well, their family had a hard time living that year, and the fruit grew bigger in the next two years. They bought a good price and earned back the money they invested, but because the harvest was not good one year, they didn't dare to live in it. planted."

This is really a risky job. Planting fruit trees is very risky, and it is very likely that you will lose everything.

Li Tong didn't want Gu Zeyu to plant it, but Gu Zeyu was very determined. He said to Li Tong: "I just want to try it. Besides, you know that I have a lot of land. I'm not afraid to take this risk. .”

Then he said in a relaxed tone: "I'm only planting ten acres this time. I'll try the water first. If it doesn't work, I'll just grow grain."

Li Tong also thought of it. Gu Zeyu and his uncle are not the same. Gu Zeyu not only has a lot of land, but also he can afford it. He has basic living security. Even if he loses money, he can still live well.

So he nodded in agreement.

"Then if you really want to grow it, I will go to my uncle after I go back and see if he is willing to come to you. Well, maybe I can persuade him, and maybe I can sell the fruit trees in his field to you. Because fruit seedlings are really hard to find."

"Okay, if he can come to my place and help me take care of the fruit trees, I will buy his fruit trees at a high price and give him a salary of one tael of silver a month."

Li Tong thought for a while and said, "I will convey the truth. I think he is very likely to come, but Qiushui Town is quite far from Gu's Village. If he comes here to help you take care of the fruit trees, he may have to live in In the village, I can’t go home.”

Gu Zeyu said: "That's no problem. I can rent him a house. There are several empty courtyards in the village. They can still be used for living if they are repaired."

Gu Zeyu didn't say that he would just let him live in his own house. After all, he was a stranger. It would be fine to stay for a few days, but not for a long time. It's not expensive to rent a yard directly.

At this moment, Li Tong was happy for his distant uncle. This job was already regarded as a very good one. The accountant in the town only received a tael of silver a month, not to mention that Gu Zeyu had to buy his uncle's fruit seedlings.

He said: "I will thank you for my uncle, Brother Zeyu, your conditions are too good, if I can take care of fruit trees, I would like to do this job."

Gu Zeyu smiled and said, "If you are capable, I will ask you to do this job too."

Li Tong patted his head and said with a naive smile, "Then I can't take it either."

Then he saw that it was getting late, so he said, "Brother Zeyu, I have to go. I have to do something in town this time, so don't bother me."

At this time, Gu Zeyu remembered that he was still cooking in the pot. He might have overcooked the pot, so it was hard to keep him. He couldn’t even get the food out, and the portion wasn’t enough, so he sent Li Tong out. .

Then he turned around and went back home, and went to the kitchen to look at the rice in the pot. Fortunately, the rice porridge was burnt, but the steamed buns in the pot were still good.

Gu Zeyu ate the porridge and steamed buns with the pickles, and burped after eating, feeling quite full.

The matter of the fruit tree was so coincidental that there were clues, Gu Zeyu felt quite relaxed, and did not rush to sleep after washing, but went to the table.

He took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been silent for a long time, and it was dusty at first glance. After a little tidying up, he put the paper on the table, rubbed some ink, and began to scold Fang Qiu.

Brushing and brushing, Gu Zeyu finished writing in less than a quarter of an hour, and the words can be read, and he has no muscles, after all, he has not practiced a few times.

At that time, learning to write calligraphy was only because of convenience. After all, in this other world, the only way to convey information was letters. This letter was written by Gu Zeyu very slickly, but he was also a rough man. How about it, let alone in another world, most of the characters are recognizable, but the writing is not very good, and it can barely be read.

General Wei Yan's handwriting is good. It is said that he has been worshiped by his master since he was a child. After studying for many years, he can be beautiful and have a strong character.

Gu Zeyu wrote the letter to General Wei Yan, thank you for the mountain people, and also get in touch with him, because Gu Zeyu really likes this boss.

After writing the letter, Gu Zeyu put the letter paper into the envelope again, and planned to go to town tomorrow to mail the letter.

Then he went to the bedroom to get ready for bed. He has already developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. After all, there is no entertainment in this other world, and the sky is getting dark soon. The light from the oil lamp is also dim, making it uncomfortable for human eyes.

Therefore, even if Gu Zeyu was bored after eating, he still went back to the bedroom to try his best to get sleepy and let himself fall asleep.

Gu Zeyu had a dream that day, but it was a little hard to say. He got up early and changed his clothes, and washed them diligently.

He is a man, still in his prime, he hasn't healed up for a long time, it's normal to have a wet dream, but the person in the dream has fair skin, a thin figure, a bright red mole between his eyebrows, and his waist is even thinner, which is unbearable. grip.

Gu Zeyu's heart was agitated, and he couldn't help it. Anyway, it was a dream, so he didn't have any scruples.

It's just that I woke up from the dream, and I was still a little lost after all.

So I prepared to make a delicious meal to comfort myself, so I cut the meat in half and cooked it briefly, and then ate it with steamed buns. The meat tasted average and a little greasy, but Gu Zeyu could only bite the bullet If you eat it, who will let your craftsmanship be mediocre?

After eating, Gu Zeyu was about to go out to cut some grass to feed the cows. Although there was stored fodder, it was not fresh, and Gu Zeyu had to improve their taste.

Then he remembered that he had to feed the little chickens and ducklings he bought. Yesterday, he fed some rice porridge in a pot. They were very happy to eat, so he didn't care about it. He just spread hay in the basket. , to keep warm, and put the basket in the house, after all, it is still spring, and the temperature outside the yard is not high.

Then I went to the basket, opened a small opening, sprinkled a handful of grains in, saw that they also ate with their red mouths open, took the tools and went out.

It was still early when Gu Zeyu went out, most of the farmers were having breakfast, and some people liked to sit at the door to eat, and when they saw Gu Zeyu, they greeted him, and Gu Zeyu responded one by one.

I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was cutting grass and feeding the cows.

Walking halfway, he saw a figure blocking his way. Gu Zeyu looked up and saw that it was Cheng Cheng. He looked at this brother in surprise. He was wearing a light green shirt today. Fresh and pleasant, pure and lively.

Gu Zeyu was surprised to see the smile on the corner of his mouth, not to mention Brother Cheng was still looking at him seriously all the time.

Seeing that Brother Cheng didn't speak, Gu Zeyu asked him, "What's the matter, Brother Cheng, do you have something to do with me?"

Cheng Cheng smiled even bigger, took out the hand that was behind him, and then showed the thing in his hand to Gu Zeyu's eyes, it was the pair of playing cards made of wood.

"Did you forget this, Brother Gu, I saw that you were very caring at the time, and the cards that took two days to finish were just put in my house, and you didn't come to me to get them."

Gu Zeyu was also a novelty at the time, so he wanted to make the poker cards, but he didn't take it to heart. After the poker cards were made, he played them all afternoon and had fun playing them. Seeing that Cheng Cheng liked them, he naturally didn't say take the cards away. If so, let Cheng Cheng play as long as he wants.

Unexpectedly, this brother Cheng Cheng is not greedy at all, it's only been two days, and he will return it to him.

Gu Zeyu asked him: "I haven't forgotten it, but I don't like playing it very much. If you like it, you can just keep it with you. Don't give it to me anymore. I'm the only one in my family and I can't play it." card."

The author says:

Gu Zeyu: It's just a small playing card, as long as you like it, I will give you my life.
