Chapter 85 For Farewell
Now that the matter of conscription has been resolved, and most of the matter of fighting for food has been resolved, it is natural to have a good rest and recharge your spirits.

Early the next morning, Xie Sining got up energetically, and took a look at the hazy and foggy sky outside.

Walking into the kitchen, I steamed some steamed buns for Gu Ye, and then went out, walking in the village, and found that every household's roofs were filled with smoke, which seemed to be a bit of a New Year's Eve.

But this is not for celebrating the New Year, but for seeing off.

Maybe it's because of the imminent parting, today people are very friendly when they meet, walking around the village, they didn't hear anyone shouting or cursing, but they all looked sad.

Xie Sining sighed in his heart watching it, but he couldn't help it. In this kind of feudal era, compulsory conscription can only exploit the lowest level of common people, the children of farmers.

Walking to the ridge in the village, I found that many people started digging the soil today.

Seeing how many people there were, Xie Sining couldn't help being a little surprised.

One of the aunts who had some friendship with Xie Sining saw her coming and greeted her.

Xie Sining heard the sound and looked over, and heard his aunt say.

"Look at my son, he will be enlisting in the army in a few days, let him rest at home, and his father and I will make more food for him, but he won't listen, but wants to go to the fields with us two old guys to hoe land."

Auntie said that her voice was a little choked up, but her eyes were filled with pity.

Xie Sining looked in the direction her aunt pointed, and saw a village boy wielding a hoe digging the ground. She nodded her head in approval.

"Brother Wang feels sorry for you and Uncle Wang, and wants to help the family with some work before leaving home." She comforted.

Aunt Wang nodded with pride in her eyes, and then she didn't say much, and went home to cook with a basket.

The fog in the morning hadn't dissipated yet, Xie Sining felt emotional while looking at the villagers working in the fields.

It's all forced by life.

"Miss Gu, what do you think is better to plant after the soil has been turned over?"

A woman hoeing nearby asked suddenly.

Xie Sining never thought that someone would take the initiative to ask him, he smiled lightly and then thought about it.

"All the uncles and aunts have more experience in serving the land for many years than me. Let's plant things that have a short growth cycle and are full of care. As for what to plant... everyone knows it well."

Xie Sining didn't rush to the front right now, he praised all the people present, and then gave suggestions.

As soon as she spoke, everyone present laughed, and they discussed in the field, "If you want me to say, we will all grow radishes, which grow fast and well, and are not delicate, and we don't need to water them every day."

A hunchbacked uncle clapped his hands and said!

"I think it's good to grow water vegetables. You can pickle them if you can't finish them. They can be eaten for a long time, and you can get them to sell in restaurants in the town. Water vegetables in winter are very precious!" said an old aunt on the other side of the field ridge. .

The old man who spoke earlier had his beard curled up!
"Then my radish can't be pickled?"

The old aunt choked and became angry: "Yes, yes, yes! What a ghost, I didn't say no."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"What are you so happy for? Didn't you see that it's foggy today? Baal is working so hard on the field, and I don't know if it will grow a hair. I just want to go so far. I really don't know what to say."

At this moment, someone suddenly murmured in a low voice.

At this moment, someone suddenly murmured in a low voice.

This light sentence provoked public outrage, and people on the ridge glared at the person who spoke.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Xie Sining quickly smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay, everyone, stop fighting, whether it's radishes or water vegetables, it's fine if they can't be planted."

After finishing speaking, Xie Sining took the lead in planting the radish seeds that he brought from home. Although the others felt that planting things now was superfluous, but the land had been dug up, and now they had no other ideas other than this method, so they had no choice but to They followed one after another down the ground.

In this way, Xie Sining led the villagers to work for several days, planting radishes and water vegetables in the field. Although there is no hope yet, it can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

After finishing the work, everyone went home. Xie Sining tidied up his stuff and prepared to go back, but when he turned around, he saw Gu Ci coming over with the stove in his hand.

"Didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why did you come out again? It's so cold outside, and if you get sick again, you'll have to spend money on medical treatment again."

On the surface, Xie Sining was feeling sorry for Yinzi, but in fact he was also concerned about Gu Ci's body. Although his arrow wound had healed, but in the end the wound was on his heart, so even if it healed, he should be careful.

"I don't think it's too cold today. I think it's getting dark, so come and see how you're doing." Gu Ci said softly.

Xie Sining glanced at the fertile fields behind him, sighed and said: "The vegetables have already been planted, it depends on whether God rewards the food or not, well, it's not cold and you can't stand here all the time, I'm busy here too Alright, let's go home and eat."

Seeing her coming with things, Gu Ci felt a trace of tenderness in his heart, he led her forward, reached out to hold her hand in his palm, and frowned suddenly.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

"Ah?" Xie Sining finally came to his senses, "I was still warm when I was busy just now, I should have rested, it's okay, I'm not cold."

Although Xie Sining said so, Gu Ci still held her hand in the palm of his hand, then stuffed the stove into her arms, and took the things in her hand.

"I always say that I don't take care of myself. If you hold Nuannuan, you won't freeze me to death just by taking these few steps. Let's go, let's go home."

Looking at the stove in his arms that he had replaced, and seeing Gu Ci's caring look, Xie Sining felt warm in his heart, and he didn't feel that this winter was cold at all.

After returning home, Gu Ci put down the things in his hands, and then let Xie Sining go back to the room to sit and rest.

As soon as Xie Sining entered the room, he only felt that the room was warm. When he saw that Gu Ci had lit a charcoal fire, the charcoal fire crackled, and the room was much warmer than the outside.

"I don't remember buying carbon." Xie Sining muttered, and when she heard footsteps behind her, she turned her head and saw that it was Zhao Pan, and she suddenly understood something.

"Zhao Pan, did you prepare this charcoal fire?"

Zhao Pan glanced at the burning charcoal fire in the pot on the ground, shook his head and said with a smile: "The head of the family asked me to prepare to come, saying that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the little master always comes back every day. Shivering from the cold, I asked me to buy some carbon to grow in the house, so that you will be warm when you come back.

"Thought it carefully." Xie Sining put his palm on top of the charcoal fire, warming his palm, and it warmed up after a while.

After roasting for a while, Xie Sining took a piece of clothes and went out to pick up Gu Ye. When he came back, it was already dark, and Gu Ye's face was red from the cold, and he squatted next to the brazier as soon as he entered the house.
