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

◎The secret behind mending clothes, simple things are complicated. ◎

Gu Zeyu was in a good mood as he happily ate the meal given to him by Brother Cheng.

Today's situation is relatively clear. Gu Zeyu is sitting alone in a corner, eating steamed buns, and eating tofu mixed with shallots. This world eats just right, relieves greasy and appetizing. Of course, it is not this dish that attracts attention. There is also a dish that is fat and not The braised pork is greasy, soft and glutinous when you poke it with chopsticks. The color is fresh. It not only looks delicious, but also smells delicious.

This made all the men who gathered on the other side eating scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cold cucumbers suddenly feel that the steamed buns in their hands were not fragrant.

Although the dry food they bring when they come out to work is usually made from the best food at home, there are also eggs in the dishes today, and the cooking skills of the men are good, and the dishes are delicious and delicious. They were still hungry and waiting for the dishes to be served. Just eat it.

It's just a comparison of the two. Men who haven't touched meat for a long time always glance there unconsciously, swallow their saliva, and then smell the smell of meat in the air, and eat steamed buns.

They still have a sense of proportion and will not go up to ask for it.

Gu Zeyu knew that the meat was very fragrant, and the smell permeated the whole room, but the meat was only six or seven yuan in total, and he would only share it out if he was stupid, and it was not enough, so he could only deal with the meat quickly under their casual eyes .

In the end, the meal was finished in less than a quarter of an hour.

I went to clean the dishes and chopsticks, as well as the small urn, and then went back to the house and changed my clothes. Brother Cheng doesn't like sloppy men, but clean ones.

He went to the yard to fetch water again, threw the dirty clothes into the wooden basin to soak, and then went to get the soap for washing clothes. I don’t know who invented this thing. It works very well. The only drawback Even though it is expensive, most people in the village still use plant ash to wash their clothes, which is cheap and effective.

However, it can only wash clothes, and it can barely wash hair. It cannot be applied to the body for fear of irritating the skin.

Gu Zeyu really did what he said, and washed it three times in a row until the clothes were clean and there was no more dirt. No matter what he said, he was too strong, and his clothes were almost ruined. Wearing them for work The rough cloth clothes he made were of poor quality, but now that he was doing them, they became thinner.

Gu Zeyu didn't notice it at all, he just felt that the more he washed, the lighter he got, and finally he wrung out the clothes and dried them on the clothes rail.

He stood and looked at the clothes that were still dripping, smiled with satisfaction, and it was done.

Then I went back to the house and took a rest for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting better, I went back to work in the field again. This time I took the tools for sawing wood, which I borrowed from several families in the village.

Some saws, and some other tools.

Of course, there must be the Cheng family among these few families. Father Cheng understood his purpose and gave him the biggest saw in the family, and then taught him to calibrate the length and thickness, and try to saw it into wooden boards of similar size to build a shed. It's also easy to match when you're in it.

Gu Zeyu still led the five men in the village to work together, and the task of the others was to grow melon seedlings.

After working like this for an entire afternoon, the wood was almost sawn into planks. Although the size was different, the big difference was not bad, and it could be used.

The board is freshly sawn, and it is still steaming, and it needs to be exposed to the sun for at least two days before it can be used to build a shed. This is because the weather is good and the sun is strong, so the moisture in the board can be removed in a short period of time. Let it dry.

In the past two days, Gu Zeyu has been planting melon seedlings together. It is already late in May, so we have to plant them as soon as possible, so that the harvest will be almost ready in July and August.

The time is just right, it is summer, and even the air is hot.

-

On the day the shed was built, about ten men built it together. It was built as soon as possible, and everyone could use it, so they all worked hard. Because there were so many people, it was built in one day, and the small kitchen was slower. It's a small house.

Finally, the wooden shed was covered with straw, and then compacted with stones, so that it would be cooler and the straw could also block the sun.

After building the shed, Gu Zeyu went to the blacksmith to buy a pot. It was a big pot for cooking, and it fit on the earthen stove.

It's quite expensive, it costs two taels of silver, but it lasts a long time, a good pot can last at least ten years.

Now, there is room for cooking and resting, and the group of men who worked with them before are happy and have more energy to work.

During the break at noon, I can go to the mountains for a walk. If I am lucky, I can hunt a hare and pheasant or something, for a tooth-making sacrifice, and even if I am not lucky, I can get some wild vegetables.

Gu Zeyu also thought about the problem of food. His family's vegetable garden was almost bald, and the appetites of a dozen men were not small, and a meal required a large pot of vegetables.

He couldn't take it anymore, and for the sake of his family's vegetable garden, he proposed the idea of ​​growing vegetables in the ground.

At that time, people generally did not grow vegetables in large plots of land, but only grew food.

It would be good to plant vegetables directly in a piece of land in the backyard, because the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the vegetable field can even be a bit large, more than enough for a family to eat.

If we grow vegetables here in Xiaohuanshan, there is plenty of land, but there is a risk of being stolen, but Gu Zeyu doesn't care about that much.

He said: "There are people working in the field every day. No one dares to steal vegetables. Besides, this is not a rare thing. Listen to me. Today I will sprinkle rapeseeds, lettuce, small green vegetables, and leeks, which are long. , the kind that can sprout in a few days."

Then he said helplessly: "Try to grow some vegetables. When the vegetables grow and can be eaten, it is estimated that my family's vegetable garden will be completely bald. I will have dinner with you at that time."

Feng Zihao was playing smart, he opened his cunning eyes and said, "Brother Gu, I know we have reached the moment of life and death, and there is no need to delay in planting vegetables, or leave this matter to me, and I promise to plant a whole day!" Mucai, how is it, enough to eat?"

Gu Zeyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, knocked a chestnut on him, and scolded him with a smile: "If you are active and plant so many vegetables, will you be able to eat them? You will be old by then."

He stroked his chin and thought for a while, and said to Feng Zihao, "You can also leave it to you. Five or six cents of the land is enough to eat. Remember to plant more peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers. These are commonly eaten."

Feng Zihao looked sullen, and he said: "It's okay to say that tomatoes can be eaten in forty or fifty days, but cucumbers and peppers, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them even after I leave."

Gu Zeyu mentioned that it would take about a month to do this job.

Gu Zeyu smiled, and he only treats you. Although it is simple to grow melon seedlings, it is boring to do it all the time. Let him order a variety of dishes.

He didn't say that when the watermelons are harvested, maybe you can come again, and the vegetables will be ready by then.

-

It was also on the day when the shed was built that Gu Zeyu quit work early. He returned home, washed his face, cleaned himself up, and changed his clothes.

This is Gu Zeyu's caution.

Today I'm going to help Brother Cheng's house, so I can't go there in disgrace.

Father Cheng said that his family would build a cowshed today. Yes, the Cheng family bought a cow yesterday, and it was very precious when it was brought back.

But after a day, I plan to build a shed for it. After all, it’s hot, and it’s not a problem for the cow to be basking outside all the time.

As his son-in-law, Gu Zeyu must go to help, but today he also decided to build a shed in the field. He can't do it if he doesn't go, so he can only work faster, at least get to Cheng's house before the end, otherwise he will definitely will be said.

He almost ran all the way to Cheng's house in the end. Fortunately, the shed was not finished yet, and there was only one roof left.

Gu Zeyu greeted Brother Cheng, Father Cheng, and Aunt Liu.

"Uncle, Grandma, I've finished my work there, so I'm here to help."

Father Cheng nodded, he thought this guy wouldn't be able to come today.

Gu Zeyu took the board with winking eyes, and said, "Uncle, I'll build the roof with you."

Brother Cheng is also helping at the side, he is not that kind of weak brother.

Seeing Brother Gu coming now, he couldn't help following him. The two hadn't seen each other for several days. Brother Gu did what he said, and he really came today, although it was a bit late.

I thought: This is late but arrived.

Father Cheng noticed that his brother was staring at that man with no future, and he was a little angry. He was not married yet, and that's it. He would definitely be caught by the man in the future. He deliberately coughed twice, seeing the attractiveness. Everyone's attention, just speak slowly.

"Brother Cheng, since someone is here to help, don't stay here and go cook. Your father and I have worked all afternoon and are very hungry now."

Cheng Cheng responded, "Okay, I'll go now."

Before leaving, he looked back at the man and asked him, "Brother Gu, do you stay here for dinner? If you stay, I will cook for you."

There is only one roof left, and the shed is almost ready.

As soon as Gu Zeyu came, he took on difficult jobs. Fortunately, he was taller, so he could get it by stretching his arms. The shed was high on one side and low on the other, and both sides had to be fixed with nails. The low side was better, better. alley.

The higher side may need to step on a bench, but stepping on a bench is not down-to-earth after all. People will always feel weightless, so they should be more cautious when working. Although it is not high, it will not look good when it falls.

Gu Zeyu is about 1.8 meters tall, which is considered very tall in this world. He doesn't need to step on a bench, just stand on tiptoe, and he can hammer the nails on the taller side of the board with a hammer.

"Abo, that's all right." He showed Father Cheng the board he had nailed.

Father Cheng came over from the shed to see that Gu Zeyu was actually nailed very well and was very strong, and the boards did not shake at the edge of the shed. Father Cheng knew it by looking at it, and he said: "This is very good, you Quite a quick job, and the boards on my end haven't been nailed yet."

Gu Zeyu smiled modestly, and he said: "I just nailed the first piece of wood very quickly just to show off in front of you. Uncle, you are used to carpentry, so you must want to nail it firmly and beautifully, boy It's just a reckless effort, which is not as good as yours."

The eyes are very sincere, as if this is the case.

There may be these factors, but Father is also self-aware. He is old, and Gu Zeyu is in his prime. With great strength, he is naturally quick to knock nails.

He simply didn't bother with him, and said with a smile: "If I was young, the designated speed was faster than you." He was in a trance, recalling some things in the past.

But the hands-on effort didn't stop.

After coming over for a while, Father Cheng continued: "What do I want to do with these? Let's work quickly." He also urged Gu Zeyu to speed up.

By the time the shed was set up, it was already evening.

Gu Zeyu stayed for a meal as a matter of course, and he wasn't embarrassed at all. Seeing that Brother Cheng had cooked enough rice, he ate four or five buns and drank a big bowl of soup.

Liu Amu persuaded him to eat more, in his opinion, Gu Zeyu must be exhausted after finishing his work in the field today and coming to help at home, so he must eat more.

Liu Amu is the mother-in-law who looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is.

He knew that Gu Zeyu was very busy recently, but he still took the time to rush to build a shed by himself. Isn't this the importance he attaches to Brother Cheng, and to him and Father Cheng.

He was very comforted in his heart, thinking that it was good for his brother to find this man.

Being able to do a big business outside, but also take care of the family, will not neglect the family.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Cheng just smiled sweetly, then gave Gu Zeyu some food, and asked him to eat more. He felt sorry for Brother Gu. Seeing that his face was tanned to a degree, he must suffer, and he couldn't help Busy, I feel guilty.

Gu Zeyu smiled at the dishes his favorite brother picked up for him, and naturally he would not refuse anyone who came, even if Brother Cheng picked up a lot of green vegetables for him, but he still ate them happily.

This is Brother Cheng's concern for him.

Sweet at heart.

Then I was full.

But it's not to the point where he can't walk, just through the thin clothes, he really stretched out the arc.

"Brother Cheng, I'm full."

Gu Zeyu ate the last bite of the corn bun, and then put down his chopsticks.

Brother Cheng, who was obsessed with feeding Brother Gu, was stunned for a moment, then quickly finished his bowl of food, and muttered: "Brother Gu, don't go, I will go to your house with you later .”

This is misleading.

Even someone as witty as Gu Zeyu didn't react.

This is especially true for Father Cheng and Aunt Liu.

Father Cheng looked at his brother in disbelief, and said, "Brother Cheng, it's so late, why are you following this kid to his house? You're a little brother, it's not safe, is it kid Zeyu coaxing you?" You go, I said why he is so diligent today and works so hard, it turns out that he is uneasy and kind."

Liu Amu was not that excited, he felt that there must be a misunderstanding.

"Brother Cheng, what are you doing at Zeyu's house? Is there something wrong?"

"This must be a misunderstanding? I didn't coax brother Cheng to my house. I'm wronged." Gu Zeyu was wronged. Although he had this idea, he didn't dare to act. The wedding date is in June and it's almost here. He needed it so urgently. .

Seeing everyone's performance, Brother Cheng finally realized that he had said something wrong. He actually just wanted to go to Brother Gu's house to take out the torn clothes, which were the ones that Gu Zeyu said were scratched by the branches when he cut down the tree that day to deliver food.

Brother Gu insisted on washing it himself, so he didn't say much. We just met today, and he unconsciously raised his mouth, but he forgot that his father and mother were still there.

It's too late, what can I do!

To tell the truth, it was just mending Brother Gu's clothes, but they weren't married yet, so it wasn't his turn to mend. Brother Gu still had elders.

If you lied, what reason do you have to find?

Cheng Cheng is bald.

After looking around for the last time, I decided to put it another way, "Father, Ah Mu, actually Brother Gu's clothes were cut, but in order to maintain Brother Gu's image, I didn't tell him, I just wanted to tell him in private, recently After sewing the clothes and coming up with a good pattern, I am going to practice my hand with his clothes and mend them for him by the way."

Father Cheng sighed, it turned out to be like this, it was indeed something that his kind and simple brother could do, "Brother Cheng, you have a heart, and you still take care of Zeyu's face."

After hearing this, Gu Zeyu was stunned. This is not the case. His clothes were torn. Brother Cheng offered to wash and mend them for him. Why did Brother Cheng turn black and white.

Unexpectedly, when he looked at Brother Cheng, he saw Brother Cheng looking at him with a pitiful look expecting and asking for help. How could Gu Zeyu dare to deny it, but he admitted it when his brain got hot.

"Abbot, Brother Cheng did say that he wanted to change the style of my clothes that day. He said that there was no clothes around to change, so he just used my clothes to practice. Of course I readily agreed, but I didn't expect Brother Cheng's good intentions behind it." .”

"Brother Cheng is so kind to me."

Gu Zeyu thought to himself: It's okay to say so.

Liu Amu was skeptical, he saw the interaction between the two people's eyes, but he didn't guess what was going on, but he still said: "In this case, the matter is clear, brother Cheng, don't follow me. I'm going to Zeyu's house, let Zeyu go and bring the clothes over."

Then he looked at Gu Zeyu and asked for his opinion.

Gu Zeyu said naturally: "Okay, I'll go home and get my clothes in a while, so I'll ask Brother Cheng to mend it for me." Then he secretly glanced at Cheng Cheng, wanting to see his attitude.

Seeing that the matter was over, Cheng Cheng was very happy, and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Just do it."
