Chapter 177 Farming

Gu Dexing was not happy, his face was ugly, and he sat without saying a word.

Previously, he wanted to worship Shang Xiucai as his teacher, but Shang Xiucai confiscated him and wrote him a letter, saying that he should go to a private school in the town to study, and maybe he could get a good reputation after studying for ten years.But now his father asked him to go to Songzigou to study with Xu Tongsheng, which was clearly beating him on purpose.

Gu Dafu was beating him on purpose, and if he didn't suppress his ambition, he might not know what to do.

Gu Dafu was very annoyed when he saw his stern face again, and said directly: "If you don't want to go to Xu Tongsheng's private school to study, then don't study, and farm at home."

Gu Dexing is not willing to farm at home, he knows the hard work of digging food in the field, so he can only nod and agree.

Seeing that her eldest brother had already nodded, Gu Yumei could only agree.

Mrs. Chen was happy, the two young masters and young ladies finally returned to their souls, if they continue to do this, even if Gu Dagui disagrees, she will also propose a separation.

On the second day, Gu Yumei and Gu Dexing wore coarse sackcloth, carrying baskets and agricultural tools, and followed Gu Dafu to the field.

The family members were not surprised when they saw Gu Dexing go to the field, but when they saw Gu Yumei, they were really surprised. Sister Mei actually went to work in the field, which is really new.

In the past, when asked her to grind spices, she would ask her repeatedly, crying and saying that her hands hurt and she couldn't do it, and Gu Dafu was reluctant to scold her, so she let her do it, what's wrong today?Is the sun coming out in the west?

The third grandma and Gu Jinli were planting bean sprouts in the field. Seeing Gu Yumei go down to the field, the third grandma nodded and said, "That's right. Farmers can be so spoiled like this. Even good girls are spoiled."

Farmers have to do farm work, and they are not rich ladies in the county, so you can always get used to it, and you don't have to make people laugh at you for pretending.

The wastelands of several families are connected together. When they reached the land, Gu Dafu pointed to the wasteland of Gu Jinli's house and said, "Sister Mei, follow your second aunt to the seedbed of Xiaoyu's house to get bean sprouts."

In the past, when they planted soybeans, they just sowed the seeds directly, but Xiaoyu said that raising seedlings first and then transplanting can increase the yield of soybeans.

If Xiaoyu said such things in her hometown, she would be called crazy, but she made tofu, which made several families earn money, and several families believed her very much. It was contrary to the planting method handed down from their ancestors, but they still agreed to raise seedlings and transplant soybeans.

After several family members agreed, Gu Jinli used his own one-acre wasteland as a seedbed to raise seedlings. Now the bean seedlings have grown to half a palm high and can be transplanted.

With a stinky face, Gu Yumei followed behind Chen, and walked towards the wasteland of Gu Jinli's house, muttering: "Gu Xiaoyu is troublesome, what kind of seedlings are raised, how about just sowing the seeds?"

Now they need to be transplanted, so they have to grow bean sprouts, and they have to plant several plants, which is exhausting.

Mrs. Chen turned her head and stared at her: "Shut up, work honestly, don't talk nonsense to make Xiaoyu unhappy."

Gu Yumei was so wronged: "Why do you tell me to shut up? She is not happy, so I am happy?" Everyone only knows Gu Xiaoyu, why does no one care about her?

Mrs. Chen had a headache and wished she could slap her twice again. She didn't bother to quarrel with her, so she just said: "Work hard, if you don't obey, I will tell you about taking He Minzi's handkerchief. How can you marry? "

Mrs. Chen just wanted to frighten her. It is impossible to tell such a scandal. If her reputation is ruined, the family will have to support her for the rest of her life, which is not worth it.

Gu Yumei was so angry and aggrieved that she shed tears, but she didn't dare to speak ill of Gu Jinli again.

"San Auntie, we are here, where are my bean sprouts?" Mrs. Chen put down the basket, asked Third Grandma, and then said to Gu Yumei: "Calling someone, are you dumb?"

Gu Yumei didn't dare to disrespect the third grandma, so she hurriedly called out: "Third grandma." But she didn't call Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli didn't care at all, and didn't even give Gu Yumei the corner of his eye.

"Hey." The third grandma responded, pointing to the three ridges of bean sprouts on the right, and said, "Your house is the three ridges. The small fish are all counted, and one ridge of bean sprouts can grow two acres of land."

He also told them: "Be careful when raising the bean sprouts, don't break the main root." If the main root is broken, the bean sprouts will not survive.

"Understood Aunt San." Two days ago, Gu Jinli told everyone how to grow bean sprouts, Mrs. Chen and the others remembered it. When they came to the seedbed, they squatted down and raised bean sprouts according to the method taught by Gu Jinli.

Gu Yumei was clumsy and broke a lot of taproots when raising bean seedlings. Gu Jinli frowned and said, "It's always good when raising seedlings. Each family only raised half a catty more bean seeds. Too many bean seeds were killed." , make up for it at home."

Gu Yumei wanted to go to work in the field, and she was already suffocated. Hearing this, she said angrily, "It's not your fault, can't we plant as usual? You insist on raising seedlings and transplanting, which makes everyone exhausted! What The high yield is about [-]%, who are you kidding? It’s like looking at someone who has never grown soybeans. Besides, it’s just soybeans worth three renminbi a catty, so what’s the matter with high yield and low yield? It’s not that we don’t have money, the worst thing is to buy it with money.”

Gu Jinli looked at Gu Yumei as if he was looking at a fool, and laughed, "Soybeans costing three pennies a catty are not expensive, so you can earn your own money to buy them."

Added another sentence: "Don't use tofu and spices to make money, you make something new and sell it."

These words made Gu Yumei's face hot, and she wanted to refute, but she really didn't have the ability to make new things. The life at home was easier because of tofu and spices, and these two things were made by Gu Jinli.

Mrs. Chen said in a bad tone: "Do you think there is a golden mountain at home? You don't even look down on three pennies, so hurry up and get the bean sprouts for my old lady. If you don't like to grow bean sprouts, go back and grow bean sprouts. This kind of bean sprouts are even more tiring."

Gu Yumei was so wronged that she squatted down to pick up the bean sprouts while shedding tears. It was only after she had harmed many bean sprouts that she really learned how to pick up bean sprouts.

After working for half an hour, I finally picked up a load of bean sprouts and carried them to my field.

Seeing her staggeringly carrying the load, Gu Dafu was afraid that she would fall, so he hurried to pick her up.

Gu Yumei knew that her father felt guilty because of her mother's death, and loved their brothers and sisters very much. The tears that had stopped falling down again after seeing Gu Dafu.

Gu Dafu originally wanted to comfort her a few words, but seeing her like this, he stopped comforting her and said directly: "Follow your second aunt and third grandma to work hard, don't be too dirty, how can farm work be neither dirty nor tiring?"

Gu Yumei was actually crying fakely, but she really cried when she heard this, and she thought that his father probably had money and planned to marry them a stepmother, so she no longer loved her and her eldest brother.

Gu Dafu didn't know that Gu Yumei could think so much, so he just asked her to put down the bean sprouts with a straight face.

Gu Yumei was so angry that she was so angry that she kept crying and her eyes were swollen from crying. When she was busy eating lunch at noon, she didn't see Gu Jinxiu, and immediately pointed to Gu Jinli and shouted: "Why didn't your sister go to the field? It's spring plowing time Everyone is going down, and she is not the eldest lady, why doesn't she come?"

Looking at Gu Yumei, Gu Jinli really felt that she was sick, or that she was terminally ill: "My eldest sister is busy making tofu at home, why does she have to work in the field? She has come to work in the field, who will make the tofu at home?" ?Do you know?"

Moreover……

"What does it have to do with you that my eldest sister can't get off the land? I asked you to help plant my land? It's really a dog meddling with a mouse!"

Her family and the third grandfather's family together have nine acres of wasteland, planting eight acres of soybeans and fertilizing fields, and the remaining one acre, which she explained to Gu Dashan and Cui's, is used to try out medicinal materials. Dashan Gu Jinan, He Sanlaizi and Mo Chunyue, how could they need Gu Jinxiu.
